Escalating heat 🥵 exposure poses a major threat to maternal and neonatal health.
A new key systematic review and meta-analysis of heat exposure impacts on maternal, fetal and neonatal health was just published in @natureportfolio.bsky.social Medicine last month.

This is horrifying
This is a nightmare. Imagine being accused of drug abuse because your newborn tests positive for drugs that were administered by physicians during labor.

Trump’s election in the US now exposes the geopolitical weakness of a Brexited UK.
We’ll enter an existential battle as to whether to roll in with Trump or the EU. Trying to navigate the middle ground is a fool’s errand.

I am a cervical cancer survivor. It changed my life in profound ways, and I can’t recommend it.
There is a vaccine now to prevent this cancer. Every day I’m grateful it exists, even if it was too late for me.
I take it personally that RFK Jr. claims that this vaccine causes cancer.

An Important Story From Mehdi Hasan: RFK Jr., Anti-Vaxxers, and a Measles Outbreak
Don’t call RFK Jr. a “political maverick” or “vaccine skeptic.” As Mehdi notes, his anti-vaccine effort has real-life consequences. For proof, just look at the 2019 measles outbreak in Samoa, where dozens of children died thanks to a steep drop in vaccinations. Mehdi’s deep dive looks at the deadly ...
