Yes, collective memories are the best antidote to this poison. Thank you for sharing your story.

The sad thing is that all parents want and try the best for their kids (except the criminally negligent ones). It is easy to glorify the times gone by just selectively ignoring facts, until those facts come knocking on the door.

Yes, I remember the dark room at home, and how surprised I was at my aunts bursting into tears when they finally saw me again. I hadn't clocked how my illness had affected my greater family.

11/11: Vaccines (and any medical condition) should not be used for political or economic gains, and whether you choose to vaccinate your children should be based on evidence. It is a numbers game, where you have the power to mitigate the risks of severe adverse conditions.

10/11: As a result of this experience, I took up reading the medical encyclopedia we had at home, and for years I read about the origin of diseases and conditions. Later on, I pursued diagnostics as my preferred field of research, and have a keen interest on brain function.

9/11: I missed over a month of school, and it took months to recover my strength. A 10 year old girl from a neighboring town who was admitted with encephalitis (as a complication from measles) to the same hospital a few days after me was not as lucky, and sadly died.

8/11: I slowly recovered and started walking around the ward, got to hang out with the nurses and doctors. I was discharged on 6th May, a day we celebrate in our family to this day with a packet of Macine Mulino Bianco, a very popular biscuit, which my mum used to bring me during her visits.

7/11: I could have only one visitor per day and only during visiting hours (1.5 hours), when I looked forward to seeing my mum. The rest of the time, I was scared: scared of dying or of having permanent neurological damage. I remember being scared of not being able to walk again.

6/11: I was taken to the local A&E and, after a quick blood test, put into an ambulance to the specialized infectious diseases hospital (Ospedale Cotugno in Naples) where I stayed for 2 weeks. I was put on corticosteroids and have no recollection of the first 48 hours in hospital.

5/11: The stats are 1-3 in 1000 children who contract measles will develop encephalitis. Mortality in those children is 10-15% and 25% have permanent neurological damage. 1 in 25,000 children with measles develop sclerosis panencephalitis, which is deadly. #medsky 🧪

4/11: She found me unable to keep my balance and unable to tolerate light, I was obviously very weak. She recognized these symptoms as encephalitis, a complication of measles. They tried to get me to the hospital: I was unable to get into the car by myself because I had lost coordination. #medsky

3/11: Having avoided measles parties, I contracted measles at the age of 15, during an outbreak. I had very high fever (40C+) for 2 weeks. My dad was also unwell and our GP came home to check up on him (as he didn't know if he'd had measles as a child). Before leaving, our GP came to check on me:

2/11: I grew up in a small town in Southern Italy in the 80s. Even though the measles vaccine was available at the time (measles vaccine was recommended in Italy for children >15 months in 1979), this didn't trickle down to our local healthcare provider. I was not vaccinated.

These devices are suited for bioelectronic medical applications as their mechanical and electrical properties provide improvements in interfacing with biological tissues when compared with devices made of inorganic materials.

This approach allows long-term plasmid expression in a controlled number of individual pyramidal neurons, facilitating subcellular resolution imaging, intracellular organelle tracking, monosynaptic input mapping, plasticity induction and targeted whole-cell patch-clamp recordings for up to 2 months.

The integration of electrical and optical signals within a single device enables the optical control of neural activity and the recording of simultaneous electrophysiological readout in mice. 🧪 #neurosky

Collectively, this study provides evidence of the strategies used by the industry for manufacturing doubt, thereby having detrimental effects on both environmental and public health, whilst keeping profitability high. @naturewaterjnl.bsky.social

By making the MRI acquisition and processing protocol of the Rhineland Study available, we aim to support future large-scale population-based cohort studies, thereby reducing lead times for the design, development and setup of similar clinical studies. The readcube link is rdcu.be/d6oGA #neurosky 🧪

I attended Limingan Lukio for a year and can confirm: biking at extremely low temps is the way! -36C was the lowest day temp that winter and it was a normal school day
