  3. X is terrible, but after the Meta news on explicitly allowing transphobia / transmisia, overall it's just been a tough week.
    Idk what I have but my asthma attack started last week. Elevated neutrophils indicate bacterial infection, my GP said? So either it was "probably viral" like the OoH 111 GP said and became bacterial as well, or I was unlucky that it was bacterial to begin with.

    I've been on Prednisolone, a corticosteroid since the 9th; then last night I started Doxycyline, an antibiotic, and Montelukast.
    Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist, so it blocks leukotrienes, my patient pamphlet says.

    Got a chest X ray out of it, at least. (Had back pain behind my ex-gallbladder since its removal anyway.)
    Let this be a lesson not to lessen your mask discipline or stubbornness when other people peer pressure you to take risks with your health.
    This is my first asthma exacerbation in a decade and I do not want to continue experiencing this. I do not recommend it. The people telling me I was 'paranoid', 'over-thinking it', 'worried about nothing' and more do NOT have to feel what I am feeling.

    Teenage boys in public who choose to whine at me and intentionally coughing towards me (what?!!?) is super aggressive, creepy, entitled, and harmful to everyone witnessing that. Still, my upper and mid back has not stopped aching. I don't get fevers and I don't have a cough. Only you know your body.

    Some people choose to care about harm reduction; others don't. Do right by yourself and do your sustainable best by others. I believe in you!

  4. First Report of #Sphaerirostris picae #Infection in the Oriental #Magpie (#Pica serica) in #Beijing, #China, Vector Borne Zoo Dis.: liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089

    The findings highlight potential health #hazards posed by Sphaerirostris picae to urban avian populations & public #health. Study suggests that additional research & surveillance efforts are necessary to better understand #risks associated with this #parasite & to develop effective mitigation strategies.

  5. When she had a serious kidney #infection, she said, she avoided going to the #hospital because that was where Vicknair began grooming her. Though she once wanted #children of her own, she no longer feels equipped to be a #parent because she is #afraid she won’t be able to keep her kids safe.

  6. #Pathogenicity and #transmissibility of #bovine #H5N1 #influenza virus, Nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-024

    Importantly, bovine HPAI H5N1 virus bound to #sialic acids expressed in #human upper #airways and inefficiently transmitted to exposed ferrets (one of four exposed ferrets seroconverted without virus detection). Bovine HPAI H5N1 virus thus possesses features that may facilitate #infection and #transmission in #mammals.

  7. #SARS-CoV-2 #BA4/5 #infection triggers more cross-reactive FcγRIIIa signaling and #neutralization than #BA1, in the context of #hybrid #immunity, J Virol.: journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.1

    Although this is consistent with enhanced neutralization and FcγRIIIa signaling breadth of BA.4/5 vaccine boosters, the reduced activity against #XBB15 supports the need to update vaccines with XBB sublineage immunogens to provide adequate coverage of these highly antibody evasive variants.

  8. Diabète, sclérose en plaques : des virus responsables de maladies auto-immunes ? | RTS

    Les #virus sont de plus en plus accusés d’être les déclencheurs de maladies auto-immunes chez des personnes prédisposées génétiquement. Ainsi, la #sclérose en plaque apparait comme une complication rare de l’ #infection par le virus Epstein #Barr. De même, le virus #Coxsackie B semble un facteur majeur dans la survenue du #diabète de type 1 chez l’enfant. En limitant ces infections virales par des #vaccins ciblés, serait-il possible de prévenir certaines maladies #auto-immunes ?
