There are no binding #international rules governing the management and prevention of the growth of debris in space 🌌. Space-faring countries have established #guidelines, but they are not sufficient to guarantee a #sustainable space environment. internationalinsurance.org/ins

****What is eDNA method standardisation and why do we need it?

mbmg.pensoft.net/article/13207

Another great paper from the Metabarcoding & Metagenomics special issue "Towards standardized molecular biodiversity monitoring" mbmg.pensoft.net/topical_colle

Metabarcoding and MetagenomicsWhat is eDNA method standardisation and why do we need it?The rapid advancement of environmental DNA (eDNA) science in the past two decades has inspired a concomitant growth in the development of eDNA sampling and analytical methods. However, these methods are often developed by individual laboratories or institutions, which can isolate protocols within programmes, agencies or regions and prevent the beneficial exchange of data and ideas. Recent efforts to advance national and international coordination have resulted in a groundswell of standardisation efforts, but there is still considerable confusion around the role of formal standards for regulatory or research applications. With this commentary, we hope to provide clarity on the terminology used in standardisation discussions, including the differences between formal standards and best practice guidelines. Additionally, we discuss how eDNA method choice may be informed by environmental management scenarios and review examples of formal eDNA method standards being used to inform management action. The eDNA community now has an opportunity to develop a roadmap for method development to help close standardisation gaps, advance eDNA method adoption and accelerate our ability to monitor biological life at the scales our current environmental challenges demand.

Thanks for your #discoursive #patience, which is appreciated indeed.

My #mathematician type of soul likes to put things rational and far from additional #fake attributes.

So, when you look at businesses' e.g. #SOPs, #guidelines, you will rarely find binding #ethics rulings.

This is not at all surprising and not to be misunderstood as #insult.

However, you might be referring to business ethics instead, thus touching a different semantic field. ;)

#Vaccine #effectiveness of 3rd generation #mpox vaccines against mpox & disease severity: A systematic review & meta-analysis, Vaccine: sciencedirect.com/science/arti

One & 2 doses of #MVA-BN vaccine are highly effective at preventing mpox. Estimating VE PEP with MVA-BN is limited by study design challenges such as accounting for immortal time bias & further studies are needed. #WHO & #CDC #guidelines should be followed to administer #PEP as soon as possible after mpox exposure where PEP is used.

#Clinical #practice #guidelines for #influenza, WHO: who.int/publications/i/item/cl

This #update also includes baseline #risk estimates for #hospitalization and #death and proposed definitions of patients at high or extremely high risk of developing severe influenza, so as to enable the recommendations to be targeted appropriately.

www.who.intClinical practice guidelines for influenzaThis WHO Clinical practice guideline for influenza is an update and expansion from the previously published WHO guideline on the clinical management of patients with severe influenza or at risk of severe influenza. These updated guidelines provide recommendations on the management of both severe and non-severe influenza and also includes recommendations on the use of antiviral medications to prevent influenza virus infection in individuals exposed to the virus in the previous 48 hours. This update applies to patients with seasonal influenza viruses, pandemic influenza viruses and novel influenza A viruses known to cause severe illness in infected humans.

The recommendations form part of WHO’s response to influenza, which includes the work of the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (#GISRS), and the Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (#PIP) framework which addresses gaps in access to effective medical therapies and other tools.

www.who.intWHO updates influenza care guidelines, includes recommendations for viruses with pandemic potentialWHO has updated its guidelines for the care of patients with influenza. The guidelines are designed primarily for health care providers who manage patients with influenza virus infection, and will also serve as a reference source for policymakers and others in efforts towards epidemic and pandemic preparedness. Influenza is a viral disease. Seasonal influenza is common in all parts of the world. It is estimated that there are around a billion cases of seasonal influenza annually, including 3–5 million cases of severe respiratory illness. An estimated 290 000-650 000 deaths each year are due to seasonal influenza related respiratory disease, in addition to the deaths related to other influenza-related complications.Along with seasonal influenza viruses, animal influenza viruses – most commonly avian and swine influenza viruses – can occasionally infect humans. They can cause disease ranging from mild conjunctivitis to severe pneumonia and even death. Current animal influenza viruses have not shown the capacity to transmit from person to person, but do pose a pandemic threat for the future. These guidelines provide recommendations on the use of antiviral medications, and other treatments such as steroids for immune system regulation. This update applies to patients with seasonal influenza viruses, potential pandemic influenza viruses, and new influenza type A viruses that are known to cause severe illness in infected humans. A Guideline Development Group of content experts, clinicians, patients, ethicists and methodologists analysed available data and produced these recommendations following standards for trustworthy guideline development using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach.The recommendations form part of WHO’s response to influenza, which includes the work of the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS), and the Pandemic Influenza Preparedness (PIP) framework which addresses gaps in access to effective medical therapies and other tools.

😶While we are still permitted #birthcontrol like an #iud this is great #news. They made #guidelines for #doctors to do the intensely painful procedure to #insert it.

“The number of people opting for #intrauterinedevices — T-shaped birth control devices inserted into the uterus and known as #IUDs — is on the rise. As their #popularity has risen, so have the complaints about the #pain people experience during the #procedure.

Can personalized diet advice work better than generic diet advice?

Researchers distinguished clusters of people based on #demographics, #economics, (imputed) cognitive test performance, #food choices, and #taste preferences (N > 3600 households).

Compared to non-targeted #messaging and generic diet #guidelines (control), the targeted advice increased people’s intent to change their intake of #fruit, #vegetables, and #sugar (N = 281).
