Paul Brandenburg wrote that lung plague is a bacterial infectious disease known for a long time and is now well treatable and curable with antibiotics. He called the term "Russian plague" absurd propaganda; it is equally absurd to stir up fear of a possible pandemic. #Gesundheit #Infektionen #Antibiotika (translated)

"When we talk about lung plague, which is still not confirmed to have been in Russia, it should be noted that this is a disease that exists in the world, in some countries it occurs from time to time, and there are also people dying. There are African countries, in Europe, the last cases were 50 years ago, and in Lithuania, we had it 200 years ago. This is a disease that is controlled by antibiotics. It could, of course, depend on the scale and accuracy of the information, but these decisions would be made together with European partners. Since the times of COVID, we have established common algorithms for traffic restrictions," said L. Kukuraitis to LRT radio on Wednesday. #plaučiųmaras #Lietuva #Rusija (translated)

Edward Blom wrote that according to a post, there was a risk that it involved an antibiotic-resistant plague strain. He believed that politicians should immediately close the borders or impose quarantine requirements, as the bacteria could spread to all countries before it was fully mapped, in his opinion. Blom also wrote that Russia would likely not give other countries any advance information and called for Swedish production of antibiotics and vaccines. He described the privatization of the pharmaceutical industry as madness. #antibiotika #pest #hälsa (translated)

In his contribution, Marek Štefan described the case of a worker from the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute for Siberia and the Far East, who, according to local media, was hospitalized with severe pneumonia after a test tube containing the plague pathogen broke and died on Thursday. The head of Buryatia, Alexei Tsydenov, according to Štefan, stated that the woman died of an unspecified form of the plague; nearly 200 people were under medical supervision, according to local media. Štefan explained that the Yersinia pestis bacteria, in his view, is transmitted in nature between rodents and fleas, and it primarily reaches humans through flea bites or contact with an infected animal. According to him, the plague still exists in Africa, especially in Madagascar and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Asia, and in the western United States, where several hundred cases are reported each year. He distinguished bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic forms; he identified the latter as the most severe and stated that without treatment, it is almost always fatal. According to Štefan, pneumonic plague spreads through droplets during close contact, typically with a patient in the late stage of the disease. He added that the bacteria quickly dies outside the host and that the disease can be treated with common antibiotics, with resistance being extraordinarily rare in his opinion. People after risky contact, according to his contribution, receive a seven-day course of preventive antibiotics. He classified laboratory infections as rare today when the necessary precautions are observed. He also stated that there is no evidence of the possible use of the bacteria for bioterrorism in the current context. He called the risk to the Czech Republic zero and recommended following official sources, not Russian information channels. #mor #zdraví #epidemie (translated)

Regina Laska wrote that Darja Schipilowa completed her specialist training in clinical laboratory diagnostics with distinction two years ago and worked at the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Institute. She died after being hospitalized four days following an alleged incident; she passed away on the night of October 2. Laska referred to reports from the portal "Ljudi Baikala," stating that several hospitals, including a children's clinic, had been under quarantine for three weeks. Nearly 200 contacts were being monitored, the aluminum plant in Shelekhov required masks, and Russia's chief epidemiologist had been flown in. Rospotrebnadzor ruled out a laboratory accident and spoke of an unknown cause of pneumonia as well as a stable situation. No pathogens associated with her work were reportedly found in the deceased's body. Laska wrote that the governor of Buryatia initially claimed Schipilowa died of the plague, but later moderated his statement. A city administration advised against trips to Shelekhov and subsequently deleted the post; a television station removed five contributions. Russian exile media reported that Schipilowa told medical staff that a test tube containing plague pathogens had broken on September 25. Laska emphasized that this had not been confirmed; other circulating explanations included a business trip to Buryatia and a trip to Thailand. A Russian epidemiologist living in the U.S. doubted the laboratory accident, as protective clothing is used when working with plague. It is publicly unknown whether and what equipment Schipilowa had worn. Laska wrote that there is no sufficient evidence to describe the case as a possible use of a biological weapon; however, an accident involving a lethal pathogen cannot be ruled out. She questioned whether Schipilowa had received timely treatment or if antibiotics had not worked, noting that time is critical in cases of pneumonic plague. The actions of the authorities reminded her of previous cases where Soviet authorities withheld or misrepresented unpleasant information: the anthrax outbreak in Sverdlovsk in 1979 and the delayed announcement of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. Whether the Schipilowa case is comparable to these remains to be seen, she wrote. Laska warned that a potential outbreak should not be obscured by political sympathies or downplaying information. In the event of a possible pneumonic plague outbreak, openness for epidemiological reasons is crucial, she wrote. The public must know why nearly 200 people are being monitored and why several clinics are reportedly under quarantine according to "Ljudi Baikala." #Russland #Epidemie #Gesundheit (translated)

"This is of course wrong. The Czech Republic has the highest consumption of antibiotics in inpatient care in the union. We are confidently beating even the long-disdained Greece, which has been extremely lenient in its access to these drugs for a long time," comments Pavel Dlouhý, the chairman of the Society of Infectious Medicine. #antibiotika #zdravotnictví #rezistence (translated)

The Czech Republic is facing an alarming situation with excessive antibiotic consumption, which is up to 190 percent higher than the average in Europe, contributing to increasing antibiotic resistance and raising mortality from common infections. #antibiotika #zdravotnictví #rezistence (translated)

Utrženej biceps, taková banalitka. Neuhlídal sem to. Po resetu sem byl tak spálenej antibiotikama, že sem si před dvěma rokama natrhl pravej biceps. Bral sem to jako varování a opravdu sem si dával pozor. No a před pár dnama sem si při kaskadérskýmm kousku na schodech, kompletně utrhl vnější hlavu bicepsu levýho. Léto začínalo tak pěkně, do konce prázdnin sem chtěl chodit bez berlí… V okamžiku, kdy sem si už myslel, že začínám vyhrávat, jsem zpátky ve vozejku a nesamostatnej. Napřed sem přišel o protézu, teď o ruku. Ale můžu říct, že obojí vlastní blbostí. A obojí dočasně. Jako mohl bych fňukat, ale pak tady máte lidi, jako byl @MichalKv1 Michal roky bojoval s rakovinou. Nejenom že to nevzdal, ale s celou rodinou se s tím prali statečně, založili u toho nadaci https://t.co/LboWE53Wd1 aby dokázali pomoct i dalším lidem ve stajné situaci. Michala jsem bohužel poznal, stejně jako většina z vás, teprve před dvěma třema týdnama, kdy nám ho ukázal algoritmus. Všichni víme, že jsou lidé s různýma ošklivýma nemocema. Dokážeme si i připustit, že ne všichni svůj boj vyhrají. Ale vždy to byl jen Někdo. Michal sdílením svých posledních dnů, těmto lidem dokázal dát tvář. Je jich bohužel víc, než bysme si přáli. A zdaleka ne všichni jsou takhle psychicky odolní a mají tak silné zázemí, které jim s tím pomůže. A nebo jim jen chybí pár peněz. Pro takovy tady je Michalův poslední dárek, https://t.co/tWwninIkcP Na spoustu z nás Michal svým klidným, věcným přístupem k vlastnímu konci, udělal hluboký dojem. Zkusme pomoct i těm dalším. PS: kdyby náhodou někdo z vás netušil o čem mluvím, dejte tomu chvilku a nastudujte si ten profil. Dřív než mi tady začnete psát nějaký nesmysly. Z úcty ke všem těm, kteří denně bojují svou nejtěžší bitvu. Protože jak jde o zdraví, vše ostatní je pak marginální… #zdraví #boj #inspirace

Uff, mam super zpravy Po tom, co nam nase veterinářka rekla, ze Willow ma rakovinu a ze ma pred sebou 3-6 měsíců jsme jeli k expertům na tohle onemocnění.

Nu har jag sovit nästan konstant sedan i lördags. Det är jättetråkigt, men har inte så många andra val då jag har feber och äter antibiotika. Ska få cellgifter nu i veckan men vi har fått skjuta upp dem en dag för att se om febern lägger sig. Annars får jag dem i nästa vecka istället. Mitt i febern är jag glad som en liten groda för att Patrik piggar upp min tillvaro. Häromdagen fick jag en tröja med en tax som säger ”fuck” och en jättefin fluffig vit vintermössa av honom. Längtar tills jag blir frisk och faktiskt efter kylan också så att jag kan gå ut med mössan på mig. Den är så stor att den är helt omöjlig att tappa bort.

Eine neue Studie zeigt, dass Forscher in der Vagina schwangere Frauen überraschend häufig Gene entdeckten, die Bakterien helfen können, Antibiotika zu überstehen, was Fragen zur Rolle der Scheidenflora bei der Verbreitung von Antibiotika-Resistenzen aufwirft. #AntibiotikaResistenz #Schwangerschaft #Bakterien

Forskare vid Umeå universitet har identifierat en svaghet hos antibiotikaresistenta bakterier som gör dem mer känsliga när deras transportsystem för cellväggsbyggstenar störs, vilket kan leda till nya behandlingsstrategier mot antibiotikaresistens. #antibiotikaresistens #forskning #bakterier
