The first #FlashTalk session of the #LED3Symposium gave us insights into early #PKPD modelling for predicting the outcome of clinical studies for #tuberculosis treatment (Asina Gijasi) and into self-encoded libraries for affinity-selection MS of macrocyclic compounds (cycloSELs, Miguel Mata).
"South Africa’s scientists have been responsible for key breakthroughs against major global killers, including heart disease, H.I.V. and respiratory viruses such as Covid-19...But a swift series of executive orders and budget cuts from the Trump administration have, in a matter of months, demolished this research ecosystem."

So these are just the additional cases and deaths from #tuberculosis from #ElonMusk killing #USAID.
If funding does not resume, by 2030 more than two million people will have died that would have lived otherwise.

Tockarczuk is never an easy lift — as to be expected from a Nobel-winner. This was, thankfully, not as heavy duty as The Books of Jacob which, epic in scale, was an endurance contest. Here, we have a book inside my sweet spot of 250-350 pages (301 to be exact), richly layered with well-researched historical contexts, curious characters and meta narratives on western culture’s chronic chauvinism. Tockarczuk pulls no punches. There is an epilogue that lists the real figures from literary history and beyond that she paraphrased when constructing the mysogynistic dialog between all the men. The tale is set in the early 20th century, in a German (now part of western Poland) mountain town, famous for having the largest resort facility for tuberculosis patients in the world. Our narrator appears to be supernatural, who tells us of our main character, Wojnicz and the band of men staying at the resort’s less expensive guesthouse. The narrator hints at the inner thoughts of Wojnicz but mostly remains somewhat clinical and linear in conveying the events during their stay at the resort. The last 15% of the book is the most dynamic. And the author could have found a way to embed that energy in the rest of the novel. Despite that, I enjoyed the blend of (mildly historical) fiction, philosophy, mystery/thriller and the paranormal. The twists of the final portion of the book were genuinely something I could not anticipate and found myself shocked and drawn further into the goings-on. Of all of Tockarczuk’s books, this is the one I think I would be most inclined to read again sometime.

'By the middle of the 18th century, around 1% of London's population was dying from #tuberculosis (#TB) every year. You can see this in the chart below, which shows modeled estimates of TB death rates in #London.
Let’s pause on that. Every year, 1 in 100 people died from TB. That means that if you lived in London, every five years, 1 in 20 people you knew might have died from it. That’s one person for every three or four households.'
Once a leading killer, #tuberculosis is now rare in rich countries — here’s how it happened https://ourworldindata.org/tuberculosis-history-decline

"Tuberculosis is often thought of as an old-timey disease, but in reality, it continues to kill over a million and a half people per year, despite its known cure. How did we get here, to a world where decades of work toward a cure stalled in its dissemination around the globe? And how can understanding the history of TB point us toward a different future?"

Robert Koch revolutionized medicine in many ways, including discovering the agents for cholera, TB, and anthrax. Still, Chapter 4 of #PhantomPlague shows he rushed his "remedy" for #Tuberculosis and many people died before Arthur Conan Doyle worked out the truth. #TBReaders
