Great to present feasibility study on AI to detect invasive pulmonary mould infections from CT scans at #BIASpring2025.

Proof-of-concept but need to develop surrounding infrastructure to develop this and other AI projects within NHS.

My fav take home message: vaccination is key. Modified Vaccinia Ankara vaccine 2 doses > 80% effective. Protection limited in post-exposure setting ~ 20% within 4 days of exposure. Need to focus vaccination on those with ongoing exposure #BIASpring2025

Helpful review of tecovirimat RCTs for Mpox...No benefit over placebo. Raising basic standard of care however in all settings could make a difference. Therapeutic options limited #BIASpring2025

Thanks to Catherine Houlihan @ukhsa.bsky.social for an interactive update on Mpox @biainfection.bsky.social trainees/clinical day. Key practical messages:
HCID units/PPE no longer required
24hr testing no longer justified BUT
Still notifiable
Still need to prevent transmission #BIASpring2025

My post below feels so last year..all the questions in the first session were asked via Slido. It feels like this should be a game changer in terms of who asks the questions. Remaining anonymous probably also helps so we may never know. #BIASpring2025

Was the 'end of global health' writing on the wall #BIASpring2025. Reliance on a single donor i.e. US is a key issue. We need to rebuild differently (and straight away!)
Great Q&A session with Prof Joe Jarvis

#BIASpring2025 Prof Joe Jarvis: What can we do?
-Lobby our government
-Document what is happening
-Keep talking about 'silence = death'

But no clear way forward...

The end of global health (as we know it). Prof Joe Jarvis opening #BIASpring2025
highlighting the devasting impact of US funding cuts on global health. The issue is not a lack of money just how it is spent as described by @drtedros.who.int 👇🏾
who.int WHO @who.int · May 19
WHO faces a 21% reduction from the original proposed budget for the 2026-27 biennium.

“If we think US$ 2.1 billion a year is ambitious—or $ 4.2 billion for the biennium—then either we must lower our ambitions for what WHO is and does, or we must raise the money.” - @drtedros.who.int

Who asks the most questions at scientific meetings? The infection workforce is diverse age, gender, discipline. Questions from different perspectives help us all learn. #BIASpring2025
