Measles cases have exploded in Europe as vaccinations decline. What to know - National | Globalnews.ca

The World Health Organization is warning of an "alarming rise" of measles cases in Europe that is only accelerating, and is calling for urge

The World Health Organization is warning of an “alarming rise” of measles cases in Europe that is only accelerating. There were 42,200 measles cases across 41 WHO European Region member states in 2023 — up from 941 cases reported in all of 2022, according to WHO. The organization said in a release Wednesday that the rise in cases has accelerated in recent months, and they are expected to continue to rise unless urgent measures are taken. “Vaccination is the only way to protect children from this potentially dangerous disease. Urgent vaccination efforts are needed to halt transmission and prevent further spread,” Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, said in a statement.

The U.K. Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has declared a national incident over a surge in measles cases across the country. Its chief executive Jenny Harries said today that “immediate action” is needed to boost the uptake of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine in areas where the numbers of people getting the vaccine is low. “We need a long-term concerted effort to protect individuals and to prevent large measles outbreaks,” she said.

New bacteria discovery could lead to better treatments for people with cystic fibrosis

New research led by Queen's University Belfast has made a breakthrough in the field of microbiology, which could lead to the development of new treatments for people with compromised immune systems, such as those with cystic fibrosis. To conduct their study the researchers looked at the bacterium Achromobacter, which can cause chronic lung infection and tissue damage in the airways. The study reveals how this bacterium overcomes the body's immune defenses to multiply and continue to grow. The findings have been published in Cell Reports.

I feel like a lot of "professionalism discourse" is actually presentability politics rather than a discussion on actual practice. Professionalism is about being responsible and proficient in your field of expertise, presentability is the thing conservatives falsely equate to it because apparently seeing 1/10th of a tattoo is the same as being thrown into a ditch from a speeding truck (note the double standard when it comes to this as well - only certain people are being targeted, and while it seems it's linked to specific jobs, it's really not)

Can confirm: I co-taught martial arts to kids in Texas. sporting bright pink and purple hair alongside a black belt who wore a buzz cut, gauges (gages?) and had they/them pronouns; we were damn good at our jobs

Kids thought it was DOPE AF and had a blast learning with us

I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one who has trouble remembering developmental milestones. I put these together, but can’t take credit for any of the photography. Hope someone finds them helpful!

This is very useful to me i have absolutely no gauge for how old children are and what they can typically do at what ages

Every writer needs to see this because I’m really tired of otherwise competent novels in which a two year old is like “mother dearest I do believe I am quite frightened” or conversely they’re supposed to be five and going “me hungie!!!”

Remember that these are only guidelines. Some kids don’t talk at all until they’re 2 or 3 and then bust out with full sentences. My grandfather didn’t walk until he was 3 bc of aftereffects of whooping cough. MK used to say things like “me hungie” to try to be cute or when throwing a wobbler. Kids are complicated and individuals and these are only general guidelines.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I can 100% guarantee you that your doctor does not want to see a photo of your bloody shit floating in a toilet. I believe you. Please do not show me a photo. I don’t want a photo. Let me check for hemorrhoids and go on from there.

Autism: Brain wiring explains missed vocal cues to emotion

Not perceiving emotional tones of voice is a key social challenge for children with autism. New research indicates the cause.

Children with autism have trouble identifying emotional tones in speech because of differences in a brain region that processes social information, research shows.

The findings, published in the journal Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, offer an explanation for the neurological origin of a key social challenge in autism. They also provide clues as to the type of therapy that might help, according to the researchers.

“Children typically learn to map certain sounds in people’s voices onto particular emotions,” says the study’s co-lead author, Daniel Abrams, clinical associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford School of Medicine.

“If Mom or Dad is unhappy, a little kid will know that before understanding all the words,” Abrams says, noting that young children recognize slow, low-pitched speech as showing sadness. “But kids with autism have trouble mapping vocal features onto emotion. Before this study, we didn’t know why the brains of people with autism have a roadblock for identifying and recognizing these vocal cues.”
