"SARS-CoV-2, influenza, RSV, and other respiratory viruses can cause mild and asymptomatic infections, so staff or visitors might not realize they are infected, yet asymptomatic and presymptomatic people can still be contagious and spread infections to patients. Furthermore, despite repeated requests by health care system leaders for symptomatic staff to stay home, “presenteeism” (coming to work despite feeling sick) remains common. Even during the height of the pandemic, some health care systems reported that 50% of staff diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 worked while symptomatic. Studies from both before and during the pandemic suggest that masking among health care workers can reduce nosocomial respiratory viral infections by approximately 60%"

"In this article, we show that HIV-infected human microglia express increased levels of TREM1 and are resistant to HIV-induced apoptosis. Moreover, upon genetic inhibition of TREM1, HIV-infected microglia undergo cell death in the absence of increased viral or proinflammatory cytokine expression or the targeting of uninfected cells."
"Q: Who was or still is your mentor?
The late editor of Nature, John Maddox, chose me straight out of graduate school to be a staff writer. This was like being picked for Arsenal after having a kick-around in the back yard. He taught me all I know about writing. He’d give you a task that was slightly too difficult, and throw you at it. I had no portfolio, no reporting experience, he just liked the look of me. Talk about a lucky break! I hope I’ve been worthy of his mentorship.'"

Motivation
"The great literary chronicler of the American South and West was born Charles McCarthy in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1933. He adopted the family nickname Cormac for his writing to avoid confusion with a notorious ventriloquist’s dummy called Charlie McCarthy.

"The rise in the number of outbreaks of vaccine-derived polio has various causes. The COVID-19 pandemic hindered vaccination campaigns and surveillance. Disasters and conflicts, which often occur in countries vulnerable to polio, have done the same. Moreover, some countries decided to delay their outbreak responses and wait for supplies of the nOPV2 vaccine, rather than use the older type 2 vaccine. A modelling study, originally published in 2021, suggested that this delay would increase the risk of outbreaks occurring"

"Shouldn’t pay-for-delay agreements be a clear antitrust violation? According to a group of plaintiffs that include prominent HIV/AIDS advocates, the answer is yes."

"Em primeiro lugar, importa fazer a despistagem da formulação liberal deste problema que aponta sempre para o excesso de carga fiscal que, supostamente, afasta os jovens cérebros. Nunca vi ninguém emigrar por causa do excesso de tributação: se os salários fossem aproximados, não seria o pagamento de impostos que justificaria, e compensaria, ir viver para outro país."

"But there are a number of hurdles standing in the way of making the most of the new vaccines. Those hurdles — from a lack of awareness about RSV to safety concerns to issues around who will administer these vaccines — are lower than those that could inhibit use of emerging new products designed to protect young infants from RSV. Still, there are hindrances ahead and they aren’t insignificant."

"Some complained that they didn’t have enough time to talk to their patients because they were too busy filling out electronic medical records. Others bemoaned having to fight with insurers about whether a person with a serious illness would be preapproved for medication. The doctors Dean surveyed were deeply committed to the medical profession. But many of them were frustrated and unhappy, she sensed, not because they were burned out from working too hard but because the health care system made it so difficult to care for their patients."
