Also guys / people who don't get periods need the HPV vaccine too. It's a virus: Human Papilloma Virus effects are not restricted to one organ.

Relevant period advice:

I strongly recommend telling all docs about CareVix (a suction tool, not stabby or piercing) and YonaCare speculum.

"Idk, I think it's less about empathy or compassion, and more about making sure the (hopefully small) group of uncaring people who enter medicine or allied health professions are incentivised to act pro-socially.
Like, in your region, what studying conditions and working conditions are clinicians expected to tolerate? Do they receive a living wage throughout study and work? Is their livelihood for a single person or big enough they can build a household?

Do they feel comfortable being a whistleblower when something goes wrong? (Numbers-wise, mistakes will happen over time.)
How robust is the inspection or regulation? How flexible are the logistics of each sector?
How many crises at once can be weathered without change to patient care? How long will it take to build back up that 'extra' capacity / contingency margin?

Who (in what position, in which teams) is responsible (or in what order) for noticing angels of death? What about anyone with less final but still harmful motives?

How severe are the consequences for failure? How many people feel compelled to hide errors rather than remedy them? What options for remediation are accessible to all staff, including contractors?"

The claim is circulating that antidepressants can cause overheating and dehydration. This is a genuine public health message, but it's not so simple: diuretics, beta blockers, ACE inhibitors, antipsychotics, and some antihistamines may also interact badly with hot weather.
https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/15/well/live/heat-weather-medication-safety.html (excerpt in a reply)

There's even doubt about antidepressants having this effect. A recent paper in eClinicalMedicine looked at all the studies they could find and concluded that there wasn't evidence of antidepressants causing overheating in hot weather - though some other medicines do.

"Current evidence supports strong anticholinergics, non-selective beta-blockers, adrenaline, and anti-Parkinson’s agents impairing thermoregulation during heat stress ... physicians should interpret with caution conventional public health messaging related to the thermoregulatory effects of some drugs (e.g., antidepressants) during hot weather."

[5/5] Im Fokus des Beitrags des Instituts für Laboratoriumsmedizin, Klinische Chemie und Pathobiochemie (ILP) der #CharitéBerlin steht die technische Umsetzung der Befüllung der Probenröhrchen und die Aufbereitung der Blutbestandteile. Ziel des Projekts Multipen ist es, die Probenqualität zu verbessern.

[4/5] Im Verbundprojekt „Multipen“ wird ein neuartiges Blutentnahme- und -lagerungssystem für Biobanken und klinische Studien entwickelt. Das Labor für Biofluidmechanik (LfB) des Deutschen Herzzentrums der #CharitéBerlin setzt dabei Wissen und Methoden der Strömungsmechanik ein, um einzelne Funktionselemente zu konzipieren und umzusetzen.

While little is known about the mysterious #Oropouche virus in Latin America, a number of deaths have been reported along with impacts on unborn babies. A #CharitéBerlin study has discovered that the pathogen is more widespread than previously thought.

Über das #Oropouche-Virus in #Lateinamerika ist bisher wenig bekannt, es gibt aber Hinweise auf einzelne Todesfälle & mögliche Folgen für ungeborene Kinder. Eine #CharitéBerlin-Studie zeigt jetzt: Der Erreger ist in der Region weiter verbreitet als gedacht.

Had a great day 2 days ago at the #Leidse #Ouderengeneeskunde Dagen at the #LUMC: a full day of reflecting on care for older people with 350+ GPs, elderly care physicians, #geriatricians and #nurses.

And we were lucky to have older people themselves on the front row joining in on our discussions! Thanks to all who participated!
