💉💫✨Un 14 de mayo como hoy, en 1796, nació la primera VACUNA del mundo ¡Y todo gracias a una lechera 🧍‍♀️, una🐄 vaca, a Jenner, a James y a la ciencia! La viruela era una enfermedad terrible 😷: fiebre alta 🌡️, llagas dolorosas 🩹, cicatrices permanentes 😖… ¡y una tasa de mortalidad altísima! ⚰️

Es común encontrar estudios que utilizan "incidencias" basándose en datos administrativos. Esto puede ser útil en algunos casos, es crucial comprender a fondo la dinámica de la enfermedad y el flujo de información detrás de los datos, su reporte y su calidad. authors.elsevier.com/a/1ktEp6gzKu...

Fue un evento lleno de esperanza - tan necesario en estos tiempos! www.linkedin.com/posts/liga-c...

A atender esta noche a la charla por parte de profe Diego Rosselli de la Javeriana - que creo no será tán académico sino sería más bien un relato de sus aventuras de visitar con su landrover cada municipio de #Colombia accessible por tierra: hoy 7 pm www.youtube.com/live/Uo0H1f5...

Hoy asistí con @zulmacucunuba.bsky.social a un evento inspirador. La Alianza #Abrázame es una campaña de salud, y una apuesta por transformar la experiencia del #cáncer en #Colombia. Su llamado: abrazar la vida, la prevención y la equidad en salud. Aquí un resumen: consultorsalud.com/colombia-cob...

Today we had a visit from @salvax99.bsky.social and Mariana De Camargo, who inspired us to consider inequalities and overdiagnosis as topics within #cancersurveillance. Thank you so much to both and to @zulmacucunuba.bsky.social for the co-organisation!

To my colleagues, friends, and everybody else in the federal workforce, including from the NIH and the CDC, you are all heroes and deserve so much better than the obtuse insanity you’re all living through at the moment. Rest assured that we are with you in this fight and unafraid 💪!

Proud of Ana Maria, student of the #Doctoradoepidemiologíaclínica, who just published this paper in Lancet Regional Health - Americas on characteristics of women under 45 who were diagnosed with #breastcancer & indicators of quality of care. (more below) www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

RFK brought up a peer-reviewed study by “Mawson” - epidemiologist & former academic.. the study to which RFK was referring, appeared in a journal not indexed by the National Library of Medicine or other organization that might provide some scientific credibility. www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

"The scientific literature is an essential ocean of knowledge, in which floats an alarming amount of junk." "Mawson told us he chose this journal because several mainstream ones had rejected his manuscript without review. Lyons-Weiler did not respond to a request for comment"

New study just published in JAMA finds that in the USA, abortion bans were associated with increases in infant mortality. These increases were larger for populations that already experienced higher than average rates of infant mortality. Pro-life or not, this is adverse.. doi:10.1001/jama.2024.28517

Very good Lancet answer regarding the horrible storm of devastating ideas of Mr Trump these days. He does not realize or does not care how much damage he does, even to the USA citizens, with all of this.

Periodic reminder the world of data analysis cannot be meaningfully categorised into "machine learning" and "statistics". Two cultures with substantial overlap in the use of methods (e.g. logistic regression), analytical goals (e.g. causal inference) and history jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Integrated #PalliativeCare in #Oncology. Good summary of a very comprehensive project lead by @qubelfastofficial.bsky.social. It was a pleasure to participate in the group´s meetings. Well done dear colleagues, hope several recommendations will soon be implemented. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFJl...
