1. This shows that cattle are susceptible to other H5N1 viruses, not just B3.13.
2. D1.1 viruses are currently transmitting really efficiently through wild birds in North America, and are very widespread.
...
1. This is evidence of a 2nd avian-->cattle H5N1 introduction.
2. The D1.1 genotype was found in the severe case in British Columbia and the deadly case in Louisiana. It is possible that this genotype has an easier time adapting to human cells.

For me, I made my own marshmallow so I could eat my feelings in fluffy, cloud-like, sugar-pillow form.

Withdrawing from a global public health organization - while under new pandemic threats - will not only limit our own access to data/resources but also weaken the global response. 🤦🏻♀️
I worked at WHO during the COVID-19 pandemic and saw the damage caused by the prior US withdrawal—undermining global coordination and weakening health security. With H5N1 looming, we can't afford to repeat history.

A new tool detects ctDNA in 81% of patients with early lung adenocarcinoma, improving risk prediction and survival outcomes. This could transform cancer care by identifying aggressive cases earlier.

Study focuses on functional characterization & clinical classification of BRCA2 variants, specifically those within exons 15-26, which encode a DNA-binding domain associated with pathogenic missense variants.

RNA-targeting drugs (including for cancer) has always held huge promise but sluggish progress. These mechanistic studies are crucial for improvement.

Him, straight faced: “Welcome to the new America, Mama. Everything is a mess - it’s not my room. Are you sure this is your priority thing to tackle right now?”
Is sarcasm how teenage years begin?

Progress is not often a straight line, but knowledge is always a permanent gain.
Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea
Progress is not often a straight line, but knowledge is always a permanent gain.

Look at the curves. Success came via a couple of breakthroughs, yes, but also via smaller improvements that together make a steady progress. You often hear studies dismissed as “incremental,” but keep chipping away, every incremental step counts.
Amazing to see even more improvement with bispecific antibody #immunotherapy presented in the #ASH24 Plenary session. #hematology #leukemia

Neither Pembro nor GVD alone is as efficacious, begging the mechanistic question of “synergy” - that is, how do immunotherapy and chemotherapy combine to become more than either alone?

Yes, poverty/food insecurity is a policy issue - even a policy *choice* in our society - and should be addressed as a system.
But.. look around…policies won’t get fixed anytime soon and people need our help now!
🍎Who: Healthcare workers & anyone who wants to fight hunger w/ us
🍎What: friendly annual competition btwn #MedTwitter teams to see who can raise the most 💰for food banks/hunger orgs
🍎When: 11/28-12/3
🍎Where: HCWvsHunger.org

Here is a contemporary example in oncology. Vaccines prevent cancer and reduce cancer deaths - do you know how hard THAT is??
Spread the words - vaccine save lives!
