"To give some idea of what banning #fluoride might look like, Calgary, Canada, banned fluoride in 2011. In the eight years afterward, the need for intravenous antibiotic therapy for children to avoid death from #infection skyrocketed 700 percent at the Alberta Children’s Hospital."

Aside: This is because bacteria in untreated, infected #cavities can sometimes spread to other body parts, including the bloodstream, and lead to #sepsis.

What two years without #Roe looks like, in 8 charts. #Americans are confronting a whole new reality of patchwork abortion access after the #Dobbs decision. #abortion #womenshealthcare #choice #privacy #SCOTUS #courts #legalresearch https://www.vox.com/explainers/356314/abortion-laws-roe-wade-dobbs-decision-mifepristone-supreme-court #medicationabortion #sepsis #miscarriage

Invasive Infektionen wie eine #Sepsis müssen umgehend und zielgerichtet behandelt werden. Fachleuten des
@fraunhoferigb ist es gelungen, gemeinsam mit der Uniklinik Essen und der Noscendo GmbH ein neu gedachtes Nachweisprinzip zu etablieren, das durch schnelle, hochpräzise #Erregeridentifikation entscheidend dazu beitragen kann, Leben zu retten. Hierfür wurden sie mit dem Wissenschaftspreis des Stifterverbandes 2024 ausgezeichnet.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

My friend's mum was in hospital having treatment for metastatic #cancer, until last weekend.

Then she was infected with COVID
Then got a UTI
Then #sepsis
And she died.

Her treatment was likely palliative at this point, but still.
Vulnerable people exist all around us

My friend lost her mum earlier than she might otherwise have done.
#WearAMask because you do not know who you're breathing on. Have some fucking compassion, care and respect for the lives of others.

the first link has some very detailed disturbing images just fyi if you’re sensitive to gruesome pics like I am… but not looking can be done

What’s absolutely moronic is there is ZERO mention of #sarscov2 ANYWHERE

The deliberate cloaking of harms of a highly contagious airborne virus is what infuriates me.. because if people actually knew, I can guarantee a large percentage would be behaving very differently

How can we get more #OpenSource into medicine, especially into the medical device landscape? Martin Federbusch (Project Leader of AMPEL) led a discussion at Analytica in Munich on this topic. The occasion was the Open Source release of the #AMPEL #Sepsis Early Detection Model based on the complete blood count. Open Source in routine care is gaining momentum: it's no longer about the "Why," but about the "How"!

Let's do it!
