Ethical issues aside, this is a powerful addition to an already strong dataset on Covid-driven brain damage affecting cognition & memory. Given new (re)infections remain common, this work together with the Hampshire et al NEJM paper showing drop in IQ (summarized here https://t.co/KrnoJi1rZz) should influence a re-think on current prevention/treatment approaches.

Looking forward to contributing to this area. Tomorrow at 14:55 in the Madrid auditorium, I'll be discussing our latest work on predicting endocrine toxicities following immunotherapy. #ESMO24

[Hope Rugo @hoperugo]

#ESMO24 beautiful discussion by @lab_kok on KN522 OS presentation highlighting impact on young women, importance of QOL and urgent need for Biomarker research. @OncoAlert

Air purifiers in Finnish daycare reduced children's illnesses by 18% in a carefully controlled study. This implies huge potential for better public health and cost savings from sick leaves, with a simple intervention against airborne infections.

1/ Infections in human newborns: severe and frequent, due to age-specific vulnerability. Can this be reconciled with the immense interindividual variability of clinical outcome observed for any neonatal infection? Find out @ Cellular Immunology 👇https://t.co/XKuBjrPfzV

Using a genetic approach (Mendelian randomization) cannabis use is not causally associated with risk of coronary artery disease or ischeamic stroke ! well done @roxanedelaharpe @zkutalik https://t.co/0JosWB4kea

Our study led by @somijemmacho examines a wide range of factors for predicting recurrent CAD events among pts with CAD.
To our surprise, the top predictor was a CAD polygenic risk score.

1/ We are excited to share our report in @JExpMed showing that about 40% of cases of #WestNilevirus (#WNV) encephalitis are due to pre-existing auto-Abs neutralizing type I IFNs, making WNV encephalitis the best understood human infectious disease (https://t.co/lqug2qZOMT).

Autoantibodies neutralizing type I IFNs underlie West Nile virus encephalitis in ∼40% of patients https://t.co/8d0W9tmCet
Important discovery by @esiborghe & @casanova_lab 👏

[James Hadfield @coregenomics]

@RegeneronDNA new preprint on the sequencing and analysis of 1M WES coming to you soon via a variant allele frequency browser.
This goes far beyond @1000genomes (2.5k WGS), @dgmacarthur EXAC (60k WES) or @gnomad_project (125k exomes + 15k WGS)

This is crazy.

And just how far above the 1982-2023 sea surface temperature average for the North Atlantic is the year 2023?

@ScheelLab Best thing I have ever won on Twitter - thank you Troels 🥳😂 Looking forward to that exclusive tour!

[Christian Thorball @cthorball]

@jespereugen Stort tillykke med ham! Det var da også et glimrende valg af studie😃
