"PAC said..risk to the general population remains low.
The agency says the travel-related case is associated with an ongoing outbreak of what’s known as clade 1 mpox in central and eastern Africa.
"It says the person sought medical care for mpox symptoms in Canada shortly after their return and is isolating, with contact tracing being conducted."

…this supplement contains 10417% RDA of B12. That’s literally ONE HUNDRED TIMES the FDA-recommended amount.
Needless to say we switched to a different product that had a lower amount, and they now feel much better.
Now I don’t know enough about vitamins and supplements to know whether this kind of product should be sold over the counter. But anyway, check the amounts you’re taking!

________________________________
The foundation of any successful society is an effective healthcare system based around a simple objective — to provide the best service at the *lowest* possible cost and to guarantee access to every member of society. This objective ensures that healthcare provides the greatest good for the greatest number.
The American healthcare system is set up to provide the best healthcare at the *highest* possible cost — because this is what enables individuals to extract the most amount of wealth from the industry. And whether it serves the needs of everyone is irrelevant.
That’s why it’s so inefficient. A large chunk of the $4.2 trillion spent on healthcare in the US isn’t spent on healthcare. It’s spent on an industry that has been created to profit from people’s health.
As the graph shows, among high-income nations, the US is an anomaly in that it has the highest spending and the lowest life expectancy.
Healthcare in America is designed as a mechanism for creating wealth, not for creating a system that provides the best possible healthcare.

Enhanced immune #evasion of #SARS-CoV-2 variants #KP311 and #XEC through N-terminal domain #mutations

{Excerpt}
KP.3, a subvariant of JN.1, has rapidly emerged as the dominant strain of SARS-CoV-2 in several countries, and has been designated as a Variant Under Monitoring. Previous studies indicate that the unique Q493E substitution in KP.3 Spike glycoprotein enhances its receptor ACE2-binding affinity and immune evasion, enabling it to outcompete KP.2.1–6 Notably, KP.3.1.1, which only carries one additional S31 deletion compared to KP.3, has surpassed KP.3 to become the new dominant strain globally (figure A; appendix p 4).7 Meanwhile, XEC, a recombinant variant of KS.1.1 and KP.3.3, shows strong potential to become the next dominant strain, rapidly expanding across Europe and North America. Compared with KP.3, XEC has only two additional spike mutations, F59S and T22N (appendix p 4). Both S31del and T22N introduce potential glycosylation on the N-terminal domain. Consequently, there is an imperative need to characterise the antigenicity and infectivity of KP.3.1.1 and XEC.

What's really changed isn''t the proportion of the young who are out of work, which has remained relatively stable, but rather the reason they say they are not in work.
As he puts it, 'people who were already not in work [are] starting to evaluate that or frame that through the lens of their mental health'.
If correct, does that suggest a recognition that it was always this?

Anybody who can be convinced that something is true against evidence otherwise is wide open to being convinced regarding denialism — of anything. HIV/AIDS, COVID, transgender, sexism, racism, etc.
Which is why political efforts to defeat denialism will never work. The only way to defeat it is through education, from kindergarten up. All age groups, all the time.

Doctors in emergency medicine are sure it will, but Labour will argue its not had time to 'fix' the NHS to prevent or reduce the strains on healthcare across the winter.
The difficulty Labor may have, however, is having voted for a party claiming it could rescue the NHS from its ongoing troubles, voters may well expect more immediate results.... and the right wing press will be making a lot of that disconnect!

Time is of the essence: #effectiveness of dairy #farm #control of #H5N1 is limited by fast spread
Source: BioRxIV, https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.11.15.623774v1?rss=1
Abstract
The emergence and growth of highly pathogenic avian influenza(HPAI) A(H5N1) in dairy cows poses a growing threat for both the food supply and onward zoonosis to humans. Despite ongoing surveillance and control measures recommended by animal and public health authorities to limit viral spread, new herds continue to report infections. We show here that the continued spread between farms could be explained by the rapid pace of pathogen spread reported within farms, which greatly limits the potential effectiveness of these recommendations. Under reasonable surveillance strategies, we show that the time farms have to mobilize interventions is extremely limited, as few as a couple days and typically less than a week. Our findings suggest that passive surveillance measures, such as detection of H5N1 via weekly bulk milk testing, comes too late such that most infections have already occurred. For current interventions to be valuable, more sensitive and extensive surveillance is needed and an emphasis should be placed on biosecurity practices rather than reactive practices.

New research has now put a figure on that damage: £268bn a year - made up of costs to the NHS, the costs of food-related illness & death and other welfare/benefits related costs.
Previous Govt.s however have been relatively reticent about trying to really constrain Big Food & nothings suggests Labour will be different.

Its just what a workforce already patterned by overwork, exhaustion & burnout, does not need.
With the NHS already losing staff as fast as it can train & recruit them, this just looks like one more body blow intended to strengthen the appeal of the private sector...
