Quite a bit of truth in there. University should be about students being exposed to and exploring open thinking. AI gives the illusion to many that this is not needed, and also negates student assessments that previously allowed these skills to flourish. #AI #AcademicSky

Antimicrobial resistance - #AMR - is no longer a βsilent pandemic.β It's reversing decades of progress in safeguarding health in Asia-Pacific.
Drug-resistant infections are making common illnesses harder and more expensive to treat, including #tuberculosis, one of the worldβs leading killers.

Hopefully yes. It should also make things a bit simpler to follow. I still find the current graphics with the greens and reds for each sector, a bit confusing. Also because there seems to be a delay when a time is set and the ranking updated. This may be on me, admittedly!

Important and interesting article.
#AI agents can be brilliant at integrating and pulling in data. But they also have limitations. It takes humans to spot these issues and / or... as in this case, to do the job properly.

Yes indeed. Good on them but less so on the physicians who saw the patient before. But then again, it's far too easy to judge retrospectively when yoh have the answer, especially for rare conditions.

Yeah it was more a proof of principle reminder about travel history, not necessarily for this case, as you're right, by the time they presented here, it was sadly too late.

MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine
Find out about the MMR vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella, including who should have it, when it's given and possible side effects.
Measles is a highly infectious disease. It can make children seriously unwell, especially young infants and those with weakened immune systems.
The best way to protect your family is by ensuring you and your children are up to date with your MMRV jabs.

Hello, sorry for not directly looping you into the original post!
Out of interest, do you propose to the screen such patients to stratify them to il4/13 blockade? I'm curious about the roll out of such personalised therapy in a relatively rare disease (and so presumably RCTs not realistic).
