From a post about a child surviving heart surgery, as did mine. Thoughts: 1. If antimicrobial resistance steps in 'routine' surgery may become risky again. 2. These child survival stat's require investment in biomedical technology, trained experts, herd immunity. Let's keep it a good time to live.

Interesting work, giving hope for improving oral vaccine efficacy against bacterial gut pathogens.

New study by @mucosalimmunology.bsky.social (Dunn School and @ethzurich.bsky.social) with Médéric Diard (@biozentrum.unibas.ch) reveals how combining vaccines with friendly bacteria can boost vaccination efficacy and potentially reduce reliance on antibiotics www.path.ox.ac.uk/news-article...

The power of vaccines! For even better global outcomes, scientists developed a more stable oral vaccine for where injected vaccines are too expensive & poor sanitation+low vaccine coverage can lead to circulating vaccine-derived polio eg. a child recently paralysed in Gaza youtu.be/cyquCUQV3XE?...

Wow! A possible treatment for one of the least treatable cancers, pancreatic. This is a small trial and it's potentially quite expensive to screen for an antigen in each cancer that's not on normal cells and deliver an mRNA to match it, but still, wow! The 3 year survival data is stunning.

"The study is impressive in its scale...cases and deaths dropped by more than 50% and in the Indigenous population the drop was even more dramatic: more than 60%." Nature Medicine study shows the effects of Bolsa Familia strongest in Black and Indigenous populations www.npr.org/sections/goa...

Resist the urge to measure so many things. You will never analyze all those data before having to move on to other projects, and neither will anybody else. You are just burdening patients and research staff.

My father's cousin was a polio survivor and struggled with a short leg all his life. As an infectious diseases researcher with a passion for science communication, it's so important to share real stories of vaccine-preventable disease. Well done for your advocacy Grace R @candidkitten.bsky.social !
