Over 40,000 patients underwent orthopedic #surgery in operating rooms with either active (intervention) or non-functioning (control) air purifiers. The postsurgical infection marker rate was 9.2% in the invention group, and 9.4% in the control group. 📊 eviden.cc/43kKuWF

In CID, Catherine Chappell, MD MSc, and colleagues compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) in pregnant versus nonpregnant people.
Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir Pharmacokinetics, Safety, and Efficacy in Pregnant People with Hepatitis C Virus
Treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) during pregnancy can cure maternal HCV and prevent perinatal HCV transmission. The primary objective was to compare the pharmacokinetics (PK) of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (SOF/VEL) in pregnant versus nonpregnant people.

147 is so few women. I think these results make sense, and I use bictegravir unreservedly in pregnancy despite being the only center with documented failure, but these patients should have been included in clinical trials. No more presumptive exclusion.

“Likely” seems too weak.
Cervical cancer mortality in US women younger than 25 years significantly declined between 2016 and 2021, likely due to the widespread adoption of HPV vaccination.

It’s definitely the E. coli in the urine, Josh. Everyone knows this.
the number of times polypharmacy goes unrecognized as a cause of “altered mental status” is astounding

Arguably, the greatest advance in healthcare in the past 100 years was the widespread vaccination of children.

Watching the PrEP session at #HIVGlasgow2024 and wondering… is there a future where we get a tiny baby dose of lenacapravir for infants exposed to HIV through BF?
