Pseudonymization, the terms 'anonymization' and 'pseudonymization' described distinct technical methods for de-identifying data. Driven by regulations like GDPR and court decisions, the focus has shifted from pseudonymization as the method to pseudonymized is the dataset itself.

🌟 Clarifying the New Evidence Grading System! 🌟
The ESC has updated its evidence grading system for Clinical Practice Guidelines
What’s new?
· For therapy and prevention, the updated system introduces more detailed definitions of the strength of evidence. It’s actually a refinement of the robust system already in place, increasing consistency and scientific rigour.
· For the first time, there are now specific definitions of levels of evidence for diagnostic tests and prediction models. (thumbs up emoji)
Why are the updates important?
· More stringent guidance that will allow you to understand more precisely how strong the evidence is.
· Increased flexibility to enable practical clinical decision-making in scenarios where traditional evidence hierarchies may not apply
The goal? Bring you clearer insights for your decision-making process. 💡
When? The 2026 guidelines will be the first to use the updated grading system.

Vecchio et al. investigated how coxsackievirus B (CVB) affects human β cells and anti-CVB B T cell responses. Their data highlight limited CD8+ T cell responses to CVB, supporting the rationale for CVB vaccination trials for #type1diabetes prevention.

WHO statement on reported clusters of respiratory illness in children in northern China
WHO has made an official request to #China for detailed information on an increase in respiratory illnesses and reported clusters of pneumonia in children.
At a press conference on 13 November 2023, Chinese authorities from the National Health Commission reported an increase in incidence of respiratory diseases in China.
Chinese authorities attributed this increase to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions and the circulation of known pathogens such as influenza, mycoplasma pneumoniae (a common bacterial infection which typically affects younger children), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Authorities stressed the need for enhanced disease surveillance in healthcare facilities and community settings, as well as strengthening the capacity of the health system to manage patients.
On 21 November, media and ProMED reported clusters of undiagnosed pneumonia in children in northern China. It is unclear if these are associated with the overall increase in respiratory infections previously reported by Chinese authorities, or separate events.
On 22 November, WHO requested additional epidemiologic and clinical information, as well as laboratory results from these reported clusters among children, through the International Health Regulations mechanism.
We have also requested further information about recent trends in the circulation of known pathogens including influenza, SARS-CoV-2, RSV and mycoplasma pneumoniae, and the current burden on health care systems.
WHO is also in contact with clinicians and scientists through our existing technical partnerships and networks in China.
Since mid-October, northern China has reported an increase in influenza-like illness compared to the same period in the previous three years. China has systems in place to capture information on trends in influenza, influenza-like illnesses, RSV, and SARS-CoV-2, and reports to platforms such as the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System.
While WHO seeks this additional information, we recommend that people in China follow measures to reduce the risk of respiratory illness, which include recommended vaccination; keeping distance from people who are ill; staying home when ill; getting tested and medical care as needed; wearing masks as appropriate; ensuring good ventilation; and regular hand-washing.
WHO will continue to provide updates.
Thrilled to welcome Canada to the @HorizonEU family! 🎉
We will be able to intensify our cooperation and enable our brightest minds to tackle global challenges together.
Let's spark innovation across continents! 🇪🇺🇨🇦
