Half my career was spent doing lab research in support of this goal. To be privileged enough to see it reached is humbling. To be aware enough to know that this kind of success will be denied future researchers because of this administration is anguish.

“The infectivity of NB.1.8.1 was significantly higher (2·5-fold; p<0·0001) than that of LP.8.1. NB.1.8.1 binds more strongly to ACE2 than LP.8.1.5 … the increased fitness of NB.1.8.1 is due to its augmented infectivity rather than its increased immune evasion”.

“The number of cavities and decayed teeth in American children and teens (ages 0–19) will increase by an estimated 7.5 percentage points over the first five years. That means there will be 25.4 million more rotten teeth in the mouths of children and teenagers.”
arstechnica.com
RFK Jr.’s fluoride ban would ruin 25 million kids’ teeth, cost $9.8 billion
The modeling estimates don’t account for other costs, like parents’ lost work.

Every time I see a case of severe malaria requiring IV artesunate I am reminded of how completely bonkers drug pricing in the US is. A treatment course anywhere else in the world is <100$ in the US it's $30,000. Pls take malaria prophylaxis if indicated for travel.🙏🏽 www.statnews.com/2021/06/11/u...

It is shocking to think that U.S. citizens may receive better treatment for severe malaria at lower cost in a low-income country than they would at home.

Another joke for #PathSky: A GI pathologist comes home looking super upset. Her husband asks her what's wrong, and she says "I'm dealing with a complicated a**hole situation at work." "Wow. Did they hire someone horrible?" he asks. "No," the GI pathologist says, "I meant that literally."

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Pathology joke for #PathSky: What did the hematopathologist text his girlfriend? . . . . . "Send nodes." (When I told this one to our head of hematopathology, he thought the punchline would be "I'm having a blast." No, but I should have thought of that!)

Sick people can be contagious for up to FOUR days before showing symptoms. And particles from a contagious person can stay in the air for TWO HOURS after they leave. Amazing biologically. A nightmare for this #EpiMomma.

Coolest biopsy of the week! A coenurus from the brain of a cat. This tapeworm larvae has multiple invaginated scolices. The cat was doing well when discharged 7 days post op. #VetPath #PathSky #Parasites #Histopathology
MRI of a cat brain.  There is a cystic mass in the right temporal lobe that extended to the frontal lobe.Subgross section of the biopsy sample from this cat.   Multiple scolices are attached to the inside of the cyst visible on MRI.  This is consistent with a coenurus. Taenia sp., including Taenia multiceps, Taenia serialis, Taenia brauni, and Taenia glomeratus are capable of producing coenuri.  A hydatid cyst could have a similar appearance but a coenurus is more likely given the signalment and location of the patient. PCR and sequence results are pending.Histopathology slide demonstrating four scolices with hooks and suckers that are variably visible in this section.  The presence of multiple scolices in a cysticercoid tapeworm larvae indicates a coenurus or a hydatid cyst.  This was most likely a coenurus due to a Taenia sp.A detail of the scolex from the coenurus of the cat presented.  Hooks are evident in the middle of the field with suckers to either side of it.  It will have four suckers in total, but the others are out of the plane of section.  Calcareous corpuscles are visible in the stroma.
