Ruh-Roh! Did the #Fediverse fook #Suckerberg’s #Mediverse? I guess it hasn’t been a good week for #Zuck

Darf ich unser süßes #Norovirus vorstellen?
Passt sehr gut zu den anderen Noroviren, die die Station derzeit heimsuchen. -
Wie kompliziert ist die Bestellung von Pseudoephedrine ohne Rezept (Apotheke in der Schweiz)?
Das ist das einzige Ding, das wirksam gegen meine Sinusitis ist, und mein Vorrat wird bald verschwunden werden.
(In der Regel finde ich die Beratung bei der Apotheke sehr herablassend und daher was zu meiden.)

How do we access thousands of whole-slide images quickly while still retaining important clinical information? Until now, bigger libraries have meant slower searches – but #DeepLearning might just have a solution.

Good morning, #Mediverse/#MedMastidon and #Science folks.
I normally wouldn’t share a study like this, but I’m going to. Here it is. I’ll give you time to read (at least the summary). https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.24.517882v1.full.pdf
BTW, I hate threading on the Fediverse, but this is gonna be a thread.

Unpopular Opinion to #1000DaysOfCovid: SARS-CoV-2 is, as much as it is a dangerous, deadly, and debilitating pathogen, more on the “lighter” side of what pathogens can and could do to humankind.
The past precisely 1000 days since the first WHO recommendations almost all communication, medially but also medically, has been tainted by greed, simplification, demarcation, side-taking, politicking, and sloganeering.
Development of measures was led by financial and corporate interests, measures were hyped or put down, depending on feelings and sensitivities, not the commons and public health were first to be considered but elections, income statements, and cronyism.
Because SARS-CoV-2 is, as far as dirty bastards go, not the worst that could have happened to us, we are coasting OK. Not great, not fine, but OK. But whatever the next pathogen to emerge, and one will emerge, might be much more injurious.
We had a chance to make this right. To communicate clearly, to focus on the commons and public health, to state harsh but true realities rather than playing with hopes and fears to manipulate.
The spread of pathogens is a function of the mobility of humankind and moderated by it. The more mobile we become, the more likely a debilitating pathogen will go from a small epidemic, the likes of which we have observed and largely ignored for decades, centuries even, to a global pandemic. The bubonic plague killed 200 million people, in a much less mobile world (but mobile enough for it to spread).
We can’t dial back mobility, we can’t become xenophobic, cloistered, tribes again. But we can learn from this, accept (and this includes everyone, not just the antivax morons and antimasker idiots) that we were too led by fears and hopes, by simplification, by media click baits and politicking this time, and that we need to, urgently, all change how we deal with pathogenic spread.
We need to accept that social norms may not be medically and scientifically the most beneficial scenario, but that rather than dismantling society, we need to find ways to fight around them. We also must become MUCH more sensitive to antibiotic stewardship (my money is on a resistant bacterium being the next big killer, they already are but don’t generally murder the kind of person that makes for good clickbait articles).
We must take health threats such as the rise of obesity related clinical overload and deaths, pollution related health problems, and nosocomial infections MUCH more serious. We have to sensitize each other for good hygiene and employers against the drive to place employee presence over employee health. And, yeah, we should probably normalize wearing medical masks if you feel sick or have a cough.
It’s been a 1000 days since the WHO announcement. Monday, March 2 2020. 1000 days since I wrote, to much hate mail from all corners of the Internet since, my first #mediverse post about SARS-CoV-2. And nothing much has changed.
1000 days is a hell of a long time. It’s a shame how little we’ve advanced since.

Why don't #MedSchools routinely offer a #MS #MastersDegree option for #MedStudents who decide not to complete their #MD/#DO for whatever reason (similar to some #PhD programs)?
#Medicine is not for everyone, and many don't find out until after they start. Doing so would allow these highly qualified individuals to receive #graduate-level credentials recognizing their hard work and training.

#fediverse #metaverse ? #metafediverse? #fetaverse? #mediverse ?
Hmm.. still workshopping it.

To my followers. I like to see a mix of thoughtful articles, posts, rants interspersed with beautiful #art, #photography #nature #quotes #books #genealogy #science #water etc. So that's what you will get from me. If your posts are similar and I am not following you let me know. I want a diverse feed.
Thank you. Enjoy the #mediverse.

Since Mastodon is but one way of accessing the Fediverse, shouldn’t we tag medical posts with #Mediverse instead of #MedMastodon?
-
We rely on tryptase levels to indicate mast cells are involved in a reaction but they don’t necessarily mean allergy. Elevated levels can be found in spontaneous urticaria (even when the reaction is blocked by antihistamines) although levels aren’t usually as high as in anaphylaxis. Other mast cell disorders (eg mastocytosis) can have elevated tryptase levels, although this wouldn’t be a typical presentation. I suspect this case is spontaneous urticaria unrelated to venom #medmastodon #mediverse

#MedMastodon or #Mediverse or #MediFedi ? #Pediaverse or #PediFedi ? @EmpiricGame you need to sort out these terms. I’m fairly certain we deligated that task to you.
-
@giuseppebilotta @EmpiricGame Maybe we should be using #Mediverse instead of #MedMastodon? (I know that Med-Mastodon is their own instance now but for the broader medical community?) 🧐 And what do you think about #Pediaverse for all thing pediatrics?
