Hospitals Cater to ‘Transplant Tourists’ as U.S. Patients Wait for Organs

Hasn't been much discussion of the 40% failure rate to fill ID programs this match year. Interesting. Wonder if anyone is ever going to do anything about that?

Diminished Long-term Vaccine Antibody Persistence in Perinatally Youth Living With HIV on cART TO THE EDITOR—Combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) has significantly improved the clinical outcomes of individuals with perinatally acquired HIV (PHIV).

Happy to share our latest work:

First #TxID session at #WTC2025. Let’s learn about MDRO cases!

I put it in my calendar!

Trump Administration Puts New Chokehold on Billions in Health-Research Funding The National Institutes of Health can’t award grants to outside researchers under a new White House restriction.

The NIH can’t award ANY grants to outside researchers under new WH restriction, reports @wsj.com.

The pause came in the form of a footnote from OMB Director Vought, in a document that doles out federal funds to the NIH.

Prelude to rescissions, especially after his comments over the weekend?

Sign up for this fantastic event on molecular mycology diagnostics!
