🌱 #Cannabinoids have been found to have #antioxidantproperties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new

I repeat: hypochlorous acid is a miracle. HOCl solution can apparently be nebulized and inhaled as a prophylactic (CW: animal testing)

"In this report, we establish through independent laboratories that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is rapidly inactivated by exposure to HOCl, as is poliovirus – a far more difficult virus to inactivate and often the gold standard for virucidal assessment. Inhalation of a microaerosolized fog of that same virucidal HOCl solution by rodents using the US EPA’s acute 4-hour inhalation toxicity protocol later provided observational, physiological, gross pathological, and histopathological evidence that showed pulmonary exposure of 52ppm HOCl to respiratory epithelium did not result in any difference when compared to control animals. Also reported are the chemical and antimicrobial characterizations of the HOCl microaerosols reportedly used as SARS-CoV-2 prophylaxis within the United States and elsewhere during the pandemic lockdown."

#Emergency #Use #Instructions (#EUI) for #Oseltamivir, #US #CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/hcp/emergency-use-oseltamivir/index.html

What to know: On July 19, 2024, CDC issued Emergency Use Instructions (EUI) for an #antiviral called oseltamivir, generic for brand name drug #Tamiflu, for #treatment or post-exposure #prophylaxis (#PEP) of #pandemic #influenza A viruses and novel influenza A viruses with pandemic potential.

Oral #Nirmatrelvir–Ritonavir as #Postexposure #Prophylaxis for #Covid19, N Engl J Med.: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2309002

In this placebo-controlled trial, postexposure prophylaxis with nirmatrelvir–ritonavir for 5 or 10 days did not significantly reduce the #risk of symptomatic #SARS-CoV-2 infection. (Funded by Pfizer; ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT05047601.)

Post-exposure #prophylaxis with #zanamivir, #oseltamivir, #laninamivir or #baloxavir might reduce the #risk of symptomatic #zoonotic influenza after exposure to novel influenza A viruses associated with severe disease in infected humans.

Demonstrated identification of the neutralizing antibody that recognizes a conserved epitope implies basal contribution of such group of antibodies for #prophylaxis against #COVID19.

Here is the common lesson about the importance of #preparation, #prophylaxis, and #SpiritualStrongholds. But two other amazements are first that #fortifying was apparently a novel idea to Moroni's inspiration, and also not thought of before by the Lamanites, who evidently did not know how to deal with it. Not too much later, fortifying will be a normal thing for both Nephites and Lamanites.

I meant "slightly annoying but useful #prophylaxis", obvs.

Less is more - don't add Vancomycin unless you need to in surgical prophylaxis.

(better, use teicoplanin, but many countries don't have it!)

Adherence (or lack of) to surgical antibiotic prophylaxis guidelines will always depend on lots of local factors.

Neverthelsss, headline figure (59% 👎) and scale of these data (825 hospitals & 521,091 surgeries) is impressive!

Surgical antibiotic prophylaxis often follows a one size fits all approach in each hospital.

But what happens if patients are known to be colonised with antibiotic resistant organisms? Useful guidance from ECCMID 👇

Prostate infections always best avoided. Makes this paper in CID interesting:

Before a prostate biopsy, a rectal swab to look for resistance and changing prophylaxis (especially to detect ciprofloxacin resistance) looks beneficial - less infections post-biopsy.

@samuraikid: GOOD CATCH!
.

WHO was: “Running a DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN AGAINST IVERMECTIN by DELIBERATE SUPPRESSION of effectiveness... as #prophylaxis and for treatment of #COVID-19, despite the existence of large amounts of clinical data compiled by esteemed, highly qualified, experienced medical doctors and scientists,”

Ivermectin gets well-deserved good official attention:.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8248252/

Conclusions:
Moderate-certainty evidence finds that large reductions in COVID-19 deaths are possible using ivermectin. Using ivermectin early in the clinical course may reduce numbers progressing to severe disease. The apparent safety and low cost suggest that ivermectin is likely to have a significant impact on the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic globally.
