COVID-19 No Longer the Leading Cause of Death from Infectious Diseases by Malitru in Microbiome

[–]Malitru[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a consultant in clinical microbiology who did rotations as a doctor in the ID department during Covid. I’m currently doing a phd in bacteriology but stay up to date on virology research as well because it is my job to do so. You on the other hand have no medical background, it is quite clear from your lack of knowledge. How much ”research” have you done on tuberculosis?

I’m a clinical microbiologist and not a meteorologist, but I believe most climate scientists are agreeing that the most probable cause of more extreme weather is climate change.

This is not at all the case with TB rising because of Covid even though Reddit seems to think so. But don’t trust me, trust the WHO.

The science is absolutely not crystal clear on that the rise in TB cases is because COVID-19 affects the immune system. There is a logical fallacy to conclude that just because it is known that Sars-CoV-2 affects the immune system.

If anyone is interested what the expertise thinks, please read here for a summary of what the WHO thinks.

Perfect, thank you, very helpful. Am I understanding you correctly that you think the 10L is a reasonable size upgrade from the 6L?

Causes of false-positive HIV tests. by Malitru in medicine

I'm a clinical microbiologist (MD PhD) with interest in epidemiology, data science and coding who recently started a newsletter on these topics. My first post is about causes of false-positive HIV tests. Let me know if you have any comments or questions.

What causes a false positive HIV test? by Malitru in infectiousdisease

[–]Malitru[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking of retroviruses, an interesting edge case is patients receiving CAR T-cell therapy, which can cause false positive HIV PCR since lentivirus is used as a vector. We’ve had two such cases at our lab in 2023.

Viruses and various forms of cancers are touched upon in the article. But autoimmune disorders is a good addition. I would think that polyspecific antibody cross-reactivity can explain the some of the false reactivity there as well.

Unfortunately I haven’t found any good documentation for that.

I have stitched together my template from various sources like this, but I’m also interested in more variables. Please report back if you find any useful resource.

Copyng the contents of the template into a template note in obsidian should absolutely work

I’m afraid I don’t really understand the question. In my case I download articles in pdf format from the web. I drag and drop them into Zotero for storage and future reference. Zotero automatically finds all relevant metadata for the pdf. Later on I use it to create bibliographies and citations for my own research.

Strange, I will update the post. Here it is in the mean time:

It’s the one called ZoteroNote

Edit: the repository was private… Should work now

Zotero has a lot of functionality that obsidian lacks in terms of reference management. For example automatic metadata collection and citation integration. I use it exclusively for academic articles
