We need novel interventions to reduce infant mortality in lower income countries but I don't think mass administration of azithromycin is it. Too many studies show no benefit. The ones that have shown benefit are hard to interpret i.e. when to use the intervention etc.

ADHD meds are treated like opioids. 28-day expiry. No repeats. No emergency refills.
Rules meant to prevent misuse often do the opposite: stable patients fall off medication, relapse, and end up back in crisis care.

Visual abstract, featuring pie graph showing IFIs affecting 3.1% of the 1012 patients in the DESCART registry who had refractory/relapsed B cell lymphoma treated with CD19 CAR T cell therapy. The IFI related mortality among these 3.1% was 22%. Mostly candidemia and pulmonary aspergillosis, followed by Aspergillus/mucormycosis co-infection, PCP, and other.

NHANES is an invaluable tool that many researchers including myself use to report on conditions in the general population.
Like the fact that ~40% of 12-21yo females are iron deficient.

Just had a manuscript submission (to a Springer Nature journal) bounced because I had not provided a 'State' in the address of my affiliation.
1) We don't have states in the UK
2) Why is this kind of utterly trivial time-wasting bullshit required before peer-review?

Last year, I had a paper rejected after 18 months with the @amjepi.bsky.social.
It's the first time I've had a paper rejected after being invited for revisions. And the first time I've had a paper sent out to completely new reviewers.
It stung so hard that it's taken me a year to look at again.
The 2025 WHO Global Antibiotic Resistance Surveillance Report is out. Rising rates of carbapenem resistance in Acinetobacter and Enterobacterales and fluoroquinolone resistance in Salmonella are especially concerning. We are rapidly running out of new drugs.
