Wearing a mask keeps you, and others, healthier.

Screenshot of posts by Becca Roth @beccaroth.bsky.social: 

LA people, if you're masking outside for the air, please keep them on when you enter indoor public places. Covid is still circulating and hospitals are overwhelmed and we need to protect ourselves as much as possible right now. It's all connected. 
Stay safe. I love you all. 

Becca Roth @beccaroth.bsky.social: 

It may seem like it's "not the time" for Covid talk, but Covid never left and if you're wearing a mask anyway, you might as well keep it on to protect yourself and each other as much as possible. We are more vulnerable than ever. Air is shared. 
Let's take care of each other [heart emoji]

I have a question for doctors, EMTs and related professionals:

Given that the medical systems are increasingly overwhelmed and collapsing, what is your top advice to people to avoid needing a trip to the emergency room?

I know my own preventive health and risk mitigation measures have ramped up during the pandemic. I'd love to know what experts recommend -- and what you are doing yourselves.

A surgeon had to scrub out of surgery to speak with an @UHC United Healthcare rep who wanted to cancel the inpatient stay of the woman who was under anesthesia in the O.R. Crazy.

Sarah O'Connor (FT) makes a good point about the UK's low rate of sick pay:

'I wonder if this is one explanation for the rise in the number of people who don’t work & claim health-related benefits instead: if you’re struggling with a long-term condition & it’s very financially punishing to hang on to your job because you lose most of your wage every time you’re too ill to go in, that might be a push to leave employment altogether'

Long-term sickness needs better support!

"Roughly 2,000 years ago, the #RomanEmpire was flourishing. But something sinister was in the air. Literally.

Widespread #pollution in the form of airborne lead was taking a toll on health and intelligence, researchers reported on Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."

Ancient Romans likely breathed lead pollution

This figure shows the lead concentration (mg/kg) in topsoil, at a depth of 0 to 5 centimeters. Data are taken from U.S. Geological Survey. Soils samples started to be collected for pilot studies from 2004 to 2007, but the main samples were collected by state with the last one collected in late 2010.

„(…) Dr. Rik Peeperkorn … (WHO) representative for the #WestBank & #Gaza, painted a grim picture of the situation, emphasising that over 25% of the 105,000 injured civilians now face life-changing injuries. “At the current rate, it would take 5 to 10 years to evacuate all these critically ill patients,” Dr. Peeperkorn warned, noting that over 12,000 people remain on waiting lists for urgent treatment abroad.“

While its not really news, warning about the antibiotic crisis continue to be voiced, while at the same time our (the world's) addiction to over-deploying them goes on.

It may be too late to halt the rise of antibiotic resistant strains of infection & it seems likely we may be about to plunge back into C19th rates of mortality from diseases & medical interventions;

yet one more aspect of our lives where we are moving backwards not forwards.

CDC detects Bird Flu Mutation in Human, amid new Infections in Cats. [🦠 :ahovercat:]

The ongoing spread of bird flu in the United States has alarmed experts — not just because of human cases causing severe illness, but also due to troubling new instances of infections in cats.

https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/spotlights/h5n1-response-12232024.html

#h5n1 #birdflu #virus #mutation #pets #cats #infections #pandemic #us #cdc #healthcare #engineer #media #science #health #tech #nature #news
Instead, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the mutations were "likely generated by replication of this virus in the patient with advanced disease," emphasizing that no transmission of the mutated strain to other humans had been identified.

Several experts contacted by AFP cautioned that it was too early to determine whether these changes would make the virus more transmissible or more severe in people.

Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, explained that while the mutation might help the virus enter cells more easily, additional evidence [such as animal testing] would be needed to confirm any effect on transmissibility.

Moreover, similar mutations have occurred in previous critically ill patients without leading to broader outbreaks. "It's good to know we should be looking out for this," Rasmussen said, "but it doesn't actually tell us, [Oh, we're this much closer to a pandemic now]."

A sample of the virus found in a critically ill patient in the United States has shown signs of mutating to better suit human airways, although there is no indication it has spread beyond that individual, authorities report.

An analysis posted by the CDC revealed that a small percentage of the virus in the patient's throat carried genetic changes that could increase the virus's ability to bind to certain cell receptors found in the human upper respiratory tract.

Importantly, the agency noted that these changes have not been detected in birds – including in the backyard poultry flock believed to have been the source of the patient's initial infection.

Earlier this month, officials announced that an elderly Louisiana patient was in "critical condition" with a severe H5N1 infection. And now, a updated @CDCgov technical report on the Louisiana case is out. There are low frequency mutations in HA that indicate adaptation in a human host [specifically this human host].

Meanwhile Amnesty head Agnès Callamard (…) said Israel had detained "hundreds of Palestinian healthcare workers from Gaza without charge or trial" and said they had been "subjected to torture and other ill-treatment and been held in incommunicado detention".

Israel denies mistreating detainees.“

Israel's U.N. ambassador in Geneva, Daniel Meron (…) said the raid on Kamal Adwan Hospital (…) was "triggered by irrefutable evidence" that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad … were using the hospital.

Turk told the U.N. Security Council … that Israel did not "substantiate many of these claims, which are often vague and broad. In some cases, they appear to be contradicted by publicly available information."

#EPA Report Finds That Formaldehyde Presents an “Unreasonable Risk” to Public Health


The report was published weeks after a ProPublica investigation found that the chemical causes more cancer than any other toxic air pollutant and can trigger asthma, miscarriages and fertility problems.

About fucking time! If you think #smoking is a health menace worse than alcohol, let me put it this way... Not JUST from a biological perspective;I'm Alcohol KILLS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS ON THE HIGHWAYS EVERY YEAR, ALONE. Usually it's not not the drunk that gets killed either. This is also not counting destroyed families and other sociological, medical causes.

"Surgeon General calls for new label on drinks to warn Americans of alcohol’s cancer risk"

https://apnews.com/article/alcohol-surgeon-general-warning-label-e12d879108d3d6298052df0369f2e4a7

Alcohol is a leading cause of cancer, a risk that should be clearly labeled on drinks Americans consume, U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy proposed on Friday.

Microplastics found in multiple human organ tissues correlated with lesions


The studies documented particles detected in skin, arteries, veins, thrombi, bone marrow, testes, semen, uterus, and placenta. MNPs were found in the digestive system, from saliva to feces, liver, and gallstones.

Within the respiratory system, MNPs were everywhere, including lung tissue, with microscopic fibers common in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and sputum.

Positive correlations emerged between particle abundance and specific disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease, thrombosis, cervical cancer, and uterine fibroids.

Well, this is fascinating! The city of Poznan, Poland uses eight clams to control their water supply. When the water is clean, they remain open, but close when contaminated, closing a sensor harmlessly glued to their shell. Computers do the rest. After three months, the clams are returned to their original home and replaced with new clams. #science #health #clever https://kottke.org/24/12/eight-clams-control-this-polish-citys-water-supply
