"Predoctoral scholars will receive an approximate 4% increase in their pay level bringing it to $28,224, and postdoctoral scholars will receive an approximate increase of 8%, with pay levels beginning at $61,008 and upwardly adjusted based on years of experience. NIH aims to increase these pay levels over the next five years."

"Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a devastating complication of the measles virus.
Although it is a rare complication and the measles virus is preventable with vaccination, healthcare systems may see more cases given the re-emergence of measles in many countries in the last few years."
For my USA followers - an #MEAction article on the NIH "Home Test To Treat" program:
"Acute COVID-19 treatment and testing is unfortunately becoming harder and harder to access with the U.S. government public health emergency having been declared ended. The Home Test To Treat pilot program is a way to fill that gap in an accessible and equitable way."
"An Interview with Neuroscientist Michael VanElzakker about the Just-Published and Long-Awaited NIH Study"
"The big enchilada from the US National Institutes of Health’s seven-year, $8-million, under-recruited and over-hyped study—”Deep phenotyping of post-infectious myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome”–was published last week …"
New report: "Americans funded the development of all ten #drugs up for #price negotiations with #Medicare, but [#pharma companies] still want to keep prices for those publicly funded drugs sky high…#NIH funding on the ten Medicare medications up for price negotiations ranged from $228 million to $6.5 billion per drug…This public funding saved the drug industry billions in research and development costs. Now those drugs are making pharmaceutical companies billions." https://jacobin.com/2024/02/big-pharma-drug-price-negotiation-public-funding/
"1 in 9 adults in the United States who have ever had COVID-19 continue to experience Long COVID with a wide range of symptoms. Many symptoms are debilitating, affecting patients’ ability to work and go to school.
To bolster Long COVID research efforts, NIH is investing an additional $515 million over the next four years"
Jest sobie paczka Pythona o nazwie #WatchDog. Dostarcza API do "monitorowania zdarzeń systemu plików", i jest używana przez kilka innych paczek. Dawniej jedną z nich był #uvicorn.
W roku 2020, uvicorn zastąpił zależność od WatchDoga paczką #WatchGod. Jeżeli dobrze pamiętam, nic innego w #Gentoo nie używało nigdy WatchGoda.
W roku 2022, WatchGoda porzucono, a właściwie przepisano w Ruście jako #WatchFiles. Oczywiście, uvicorn podążył za tą zmianą, i usunięto wsparcie WatchGoda (tak jak poprzednio usunięto wsparcie WatchDoga) na rzecz WatchFiles.
Dziś, WatchFiles używane jest przez 2 paczki w Gentoo: uvicorn i pelican. Ma znaną niezgodność z anyio >= 4, która nie doczekała się reakcji autora już drugi miesiąc. Wydaje się, jakby projekt WatchFiles był porzucony.
W międzyczasie, WatchDog doczekał się kilka dni temu kolejnego wydania, i wciąż nie sprawia żadnych problemów.
“Long COVID stripped away my daughter’s life as she knew it,” said Nicole Heim. Experts, patients warn Congress about the burden of long COVID as the government blows through $1.15 billion without finding a cure.
@StevenvdV82. For anyone reading this thread, perhaps this #UCSF information about #ALS (and statistical overlap with #FTD) is helpful. According to the #MAC (Memory and Aging Center), "While estimates vary, it is now believed that approximately 20% of ALS patients also have the signs and symptoms of frontotemporal dementia." https://memory.ucsf.edu/dementia/amyotrophic-lateral-sclerosis
