  1. In the West, cyclospora infections are called an 'outbreak', but, in India, where people traditionally use farmland as a public toilet, they're very common. They develop resistance to it and avoid it by cooking most food, but it often causes 'traveller's diarrhoea' in tourists.

  2. A retrospective analysis of almost 600 hip and knee replacement patients who followed a post-op 7-day course of oral antibiotics found that the rate of joint infections did not differ at 90 days or 1 year from the rate for propensity score matched patients who did not receive antibiotics.

  6. Also wear masks or respirators. (Except the snood type ones. The rest are all better than nothing or *way* better than nothing.) Don't travel or commute to work when ill.

  9. @fabio Also due to these regulations I cannot buy antibiotic ointment when the Czech regime is depriving me of healthcare when I have an infected eczema and am afraid it will produce sepsis and I die, because antibiotic ointment ran out and when I call a dermatologist and tell I need it urgently she gives me an appointment 4 months (!!!) in the future!

    In a corrupt developing 3rd world dictatorship Cambodia it is possible to buy antibiotic ointments without prescription and also dermatologist wait there is only 7-10 days, not 4 months.

    I feel

  14. #California #child drank raw #milk before possible #birdflu #infection: Local health officials, The Hill, thehill.com/policy/healthcare/

    A Marin County child last month presented to a local #emergency department with #fever and #vomiting after drinking raw milk, officials said. The child tested positive for Influenza A, a category that includes both seasonal flu and bird flu.

  15. I say:

    1. handwashing facilities at every public building entrance, including malls;

    2. less-sensory demanding / muffling respirators;

    3. some kind of cyberpunk glove manufacturing technique; and

    4. air purifiers in schools, libraries, offices, malls, and on public transport. (Because laboratories should already have this!)

  16. Returning from an inspiring #NeoIPC project meeting in Rome. I really love collaborating with all those dedicated and passionate people and now that the NeoDeco Study has started there is plenty to do and to discuss.

  17. #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.

  18. #Evolution of #nasal and #olfactory #infection characteristics of #SARS-CoV-2 #variants jci.org/articles/view/174439 J Clin Invest.

    Together, our study characterized the nasal #tropism of SARS-CoV-2 strains, immune #clearance, and #regeneration after infection. The shifting characteristics of viral infection at the #airway #portal provide insight into the variability of COVID-19 clinical features, particularly long COVID, and may suggest differing strategies for early local intervention.

  19. Outright, undeniable lies by #JeaninePirro (aka Judge Box-Wine). It is an objective fact that the #COVID #vaccine is effective at reducing the severity of a COVID #infection, and reducing the #transmissibility of the #virus. That's what the empirical data shows. For her to claim otherwise is an overt and intentional lie made to advance a particular political #agenda, and without regard for the consequences of spreading malinformation on a consequential platform.

  20. At least 237 wards were closed to new admissions prevent #Covid19 spreading to other patients

    That compares to a total of 93 closures up to the end of July for all other infection incidents combined

    The true figures will be higher, however, as NHS Dumfries and Galloway has not responded to a FOI request & NHS Lothian said it's unable to provide data
