We will get you a seeing eye dog. Dogs can diagnose cancer better than doctors. What is the estimated rate of accuracy for dogs detecting cancer? Results. Using a combination of urine and breath samples, the dog correctly predicted 40 out of 41 cancer samples, corresponding to an overall detection rate of cancer samples of 97.6% (95% CI [87.1, 99.9%]). Using urine samples only the dog achieved a detection rate of 87.8% (95% CI [73.8, 95.9%]).Aug 13, 2021

Let's try to keep you up to date: HEALTH Coronavirus COVID-19 A growing COVID-19 variant has taken off this holiday season. How to protect yourself. Eduardo Cuevas USA TODAY Scientists are narrowing in on the fastest-growing COVID-19 variant, learning more about the strain that has coincided with a rise in cases as Americans head into the holidays. The JN.1 variant now accounts for more than one-fifth of all cases, based on estimates Friday from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In the CDC's latest Nowcast reporting period, cases involving this mutation make up between 15% and 29% of COVID infections. The variant previously accounted for an estimated 8% of cases. This uptick suggests that JN.1 could be more transmissible and better at slipping past people’s immune systems, the CDC said. Hospitalizations and deaths, indicators for COVID-19 spread, also remain elevated, with cases rising in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. This follows a pattern of respiratory illnesses increasing in winter months with people indoors and visiting friends and family for the holidays. continued at link usatoday.com

Yo are you up to date on Long Flue? ‘Long flu’ has emerged as a consequence similar to long COVID Study shows patients hospitalized for flu or COVID-19 face increased risk of long-term health problems, death by Kristina Sauerwein•December 14, 2023 High COVID-19 wastewater levels Data: CDC; Note: Data for the two most recent weeks may be incomplete due to delays in reporting; Chart: Alice Feng/Axios California has high levels of COVID-19 heading into the holiday travel season, Axios' Alex Fitzpatrick and Alice Feng report from the latest CDC data. Why it matters: While many Americans by this point have some combination of natural and vaccine-induced immunity, COVID can still make people plenty sick and force them to miss school, work ( if they can) and holiday activities. It also remains a potentially fatal threat for vulnerable groups, like the elderly and immunocompromised. The big picture: As of early December, 22 states had "very high" COVID-19 wastewater levels as defined by the CDC, which compares current rates to baseline measurements at sites nationwide. (Read more about the agency's methodology here.) Many of the states with "very high" levels are concentrated in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic, while California is listed as "high." Of note: Wastewater analysis is one of the best methods for tracking the spread of COVID-19 these days, given how few people are testing and how few of those results are reported to local or state health officials.

City hospitals in New York City have reinstated masks after data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC) showed a spike in cases in the state. In New York, officials in hospitals felt the rise in hospital admissions in parts of the state including Suffolk and Nassau counties—both coping with a 33.2 percent rise in hospitalizations compared to the week before—was enough to reintroduce a mask mandate. Kings County physician Elias Youssef said that the rise in Brooklyn, which had seen an increase of 24.8 percent, "slowly started to trickle up after the Thanksgiving holiday." The CDC data was measured through to December 16. ADVERTISING NYC Health + Hospitals said there would now be a mask policy at its facilities.

If you do go out in enclosed spaces, please wear a mask, an N95 is considered the best mask, if you have one available to you." The picture is similar in Illinois, where at least 14 counties are currently listed as having "high" rates of new hospital admissions related to COVID compared to the week before. You can see the full map of data here. The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) said on December 14 that it "is advising healthcare facilities to step up mitigation efforts to minimize the spread of respiratory viruses." The health body said it "supports CDC's recommendation of facility-wide masking at healthcare facilities that are in counties" with high levels of COVID. The IDPH said the measure was because of COVID, but also "elevated transmission" of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and flu Sign up for Newsweek’s daily headlines Counties such as Carroll and Jo Daviess saw a rise in admissions of 73.1 percent, but some counties with high rates did see a decrease in admissions compared to the week before.

"The day after Christmas, I've never seen the volumes like I've seen, that was like the worst of the COVID time," UW Health Chief Medical Officer James Cole told Illinois TV station WIFR 23. "We saw a record number of ED (Emergency Department) patients in the Belvidere hospital, we've never seen that many." UW Health says it requires masks at many of its sites. A California county has also urged residents to begin wearing masks in public and receive COVID-19 vaccinations. Yolo County officials said in a news release that "a rise in respiratory virus activity in the community" meant people should think about wearing masks "in crowded, indoor spaces." "Our wastewater monitoring program is currently detecting high COVID-19 and RSV levels," Yolo County public health officer Aimee Sisson said. "I recommend that everybody in the community take steps to protect themselves from infection, including wearing a high-quality mask when indoors around others. "In addition, if you have not yet gotten the updated COVID-19 vaccine, annual flu vaccine, and RSV vaccine, I strongly encourage you to do so—it is not too late." CDC data says Yolo County hospital admissions have gone up by 20.6 percent in the week before December 16. A number of Bay Area counties, including Contra Costa, Sonoma, Alameda and San Mateo, ordered health workers to wear masks in healthcare facilities, The San Francisco Chronicle reported. Patients and visitors also have to wear them in care areas in Santa Clara County and Marin County. c

Yes Ant party on!
It is not even 1 month since your keen insight :0(((

Coronavirus levels in Boston-area waste water have surged to second-highest point since pandemic began
The levels are about 10 times higher than the most recent low in early November, and higher than at any point since January 2022.

Good morning Ant: Spain reintroduces mandatory face masks over COVID concerns By Clara Preve Published on 09/01/2024 - 13:16 Share this article Comments Spain announced on Monday that wearing face masks inside health facilities was now complusory, as COVID-19 and flu cases grow across the country. Spain will reintroduce a nationwide mask mandate in hospitals from 10 January, as cases of flu and COVID-19 have spiked over the holiday season. The measure was necessary to "protect patients and professionals," said Spain's Minister of Health, Monica Garcia, on Monday. He called it "an effective, common sense rule that is supported by scientific evidence and well-received by the general public." Several Spanish regions, including Andalucia, voted against reintroducing the mask mandate. Other communities suggested expanding the mandate to pharmacies, according to Garcia. Spain's Health Ministry is giving local governments 48 hours to send over their proposals. Five Spanish regions announced the reintroduction of mask mandates in health facilities last week. Authorities in Valencia, Catalonia, and Murcia will enforce the use of masks in hospitals, health centres, and primary care emergency centres. In the last week of 2023, flu cases spiked 75 per cent in Spain, with 4,383 cases every 100,000 habitants, according to data published by Spain's health institute Carlos III. This was noticeable in medical centres, where hospitalisations grew 60 per cent in a week, as per the data. Share this article Comments You might also like
