WHO recommends 5 days of intravenous antibiotics for children hospitalised with severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). A new study investigated the safety of a step-down to different oral antibiotics and the shortest effective duration: spkl.io/633247MoCp
Figure showing antibiotic treatment over time by randomised drug and by randomised duration in the oral step-down groups only. The shaded areas represent 95% CIs. Times are measured from the initiation of intravenous treatment because treatment duration within randomised groups was based on the total duration of intravenous and oral antibiotics. Randomisation was within 24 h of initiation of intravenous antibiotics for all participants, with very similar durations across all groups. Copyright: 2026 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.

“As a Black father with a disability, the history of just being able to have a family has always been one not necessarily possible.” -Keith Jones From the GBH 📰 Staff at Brandeis research center for disabled parents say federal funding cut may force closure: zurl.co/EJYao
A screenshot of an article published in GBH News by Meghan Smith. Text reads: “Staff at Brandeis research center for disabled parents say federal funding cut may force closure” Nicole Lomerson with her daughter Evelyn Schickling at the State House in Boston in March 2026.A comment from Keith Jones, a Lurie Institute advisory board member who has cerebral palsy, uses a wheelchair, and is a father of four. “As a Black father with a disability, the history of just being able to have a family has always been one not necessarily possible. We’ve never had a moment to exist without the government specifically targeting the ability to even be a parent.”A comment from Monika Mitra, the Lurie Institute’s director and a professor of disability policy. “You’re not just removing another grant. It’s dismantling a national resource that’s [used by] thousands of disabled parents in the United States, service providers, researchers, policymakers, the families of disabled people, prospective parents.” A comment from Nicole Lomerson, a research associate at the Center and a physically disabled parent. Nicole shares about a technical assistance request where, quote, a parent with a physical disability who uses a wheelchair who is doing a Google search and realizes that there really is no adaptive baby equipment. That’s the one that’s keeping me up at night. Unquote.Another comment by Nicole Lomerson. I got into this work because I had a baby in one of the big hospitals in Boston in the NICU, and my ability to parent her based on my disability was called into question. Then, the text reads: “Without new funding, the nation’s only research center on parents with disabilities will disappear by August 31, 2026.”

THREAD 🧵 Last week, AOC said she doesn’t trust Marjorie Taylor Greene – a documented bigot and antisemite and Islamophobe – on what’s good for Jews or Palestinians. In a bizarre twist, a wave of left-wing figures came at AOC, but not Greene. They're telling on themselves.
Screenshot of a Glenn Greenwald tweet responding to AOC’s criticism of Marjorie Taylor Greene. Greenwald argues that AOC criticizes policies differently depending on whether Republicans or Democrats support them, while claiming MTG criticizes policies regardless of party. The tweet includes an embedded clip of AOC saying she does not trust Greene and does not think movements should align with white nationalists.Screenshot of a post by the account “YourFavoriteGuy” criticizing AOC for condemning Marjorie Taylor Greene while Greene opposes U.S. support for Israel’s war in Gaza. The post claims AOC appears “spineless by comparison” and includes a video still of the creator speaking to camera with the word “SANCTION” displayed on screen.
