Regulators Approve a Twice-Yearly Shot to Prevent H.I.V. Infection

BREAKING: The FDA has approved a twice-yearly injection that provided a near-perfect shield against H.I.V. infection in clinical trials. But the Trump administration has gutted the programs that might have paid for it in low-income countries

Amazing black yellow fire salamander between brown leaves, looking into the camera

Macro of the salamander head

habitat of the salamanders; little path through a forest dominated by beech, lime and oak trees

We used the day for a walk in the rain, looking for fire salamanders (Salamandra salamandra). And they didn't disappoint us 🤗 They need natural forests and a little stream where their larvae can develop. Btw. they are born as larvae and do not develop out of eggs. #EcologyToGo

Incidence and prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in outpatients with cancer: a multicentre, retrospective, cohort study AMR proportions and IRRs for most key pathogens were up to three-times higher in isolates from outpatients with cancer than those without cancer, highlighting the need for enhanced surveillance, infec...

This large multi-center study shows cancer patients are infected with #AMR bacteria at 1.2 to 3 times higher rates due to frequent hospital visits and antibiotic use. This highlights the need for better antibiotic #stewardship and surveillance in these patients.

Just go and try. I had literally 0 strength when i started last June. There are many beginners from all ages and sizes and backgrounds. If I can do it, you can too for sure! I’ll dm you.

Thank you♥️

Let me know if you want to come along one day!😘 never too late to try🙃

Lack of access to antibiotics is driving spread of superbugs, finds research Focus on overuse contributes to antibiotics reaching less than 7% of people with drug-resistant infections in poorer countries, say researchers

Resistance emerges to newest antibiotic A new study published by UKHSA shows some bacteria have already become resistant to one of the newest antibiotics introduced to the NHS.

lol, over 20 scientific papers now feature the nonsensical term 'vegetative electron microscopy. all because an Al misinterpreted a 1959 article, merging vegetative' and 'electron microscopy' from separate columns.

Ganoderma leucidum. Vegetative electron microscopy was used to measure the size and shape of silver nanoparticles. In addition, infrared spectroscopy analysis was performed to investigate possible organic compounds involved in the synthesis of nanoparticles.

Text Correction In addition, two phrases in the original publication were not appropriate. The authors would like to change "vegetative electron microscopy" to "scanning electron microscopy" and "extracellular cells" to "extracellular membrane". A correction has been made to Section 3. Ag Nanoparticles for Antimicrobial Resistance, paragraph 1. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor.

We’re so cooked

Brief antibiotic use drives human gut bacteria towards low-cost resistance - Nature Brief ciprofloxacin exposure in humans drives antibiotic resistance evolution in gut bacteria through selective sweeps, particularly involving DNA gyrase mutations, which persist long after exposure a...

Antibiotics are life-saving, but even short use can drive resistance in gut bacteria, with mutations lasting over a year, as seen here for ciprofloxacin.
Antibiotic stewardship helps protect these powerful drugs for the future.

Drawing of dozens of cats of all coat colors, squeezing through the spaces in the logs of a log cabin to escape. It basically looks like a log cabin that is sweating out cats. It’s black and white but a little bit of pink on the front of the cabin.

85 cats escaping from a log cabin in the book 170 Cats by Zhenya Gay and Pachita Crespi, 1939.

UKHSA launches call for evidence to tackle rising TB UKHSA launches a call for evidence to shape England’s 2026 to 2031 TB Action Plan as TB rates continue to rise.

Two weeks left on @ukhsa.bsky.social call for evidence on TB. Please contribute. The next national action plan is important if we are to reverse the recent rising number of cases. Closes 2nd May. thank you!
