Clozapine and infection risk: new evidence from Hong Kong’s 20-year cohort study 🧵

This study of 11,000+ patients found clozapine users had a 25% higher risk of infections compared to those on olanzapine, with older adults most vulnerable.

नाखून चबाने की आदत सिर्फ गंदी नहीं बल्कि खतरनाक भी है। माइक्रोस्कोप से पता चला है कि नाखूनों के नीचे बैक्टीरिया और फंगस की बड़ी मात्रा छिपी रहती है।

It's shocking: many people enter hospitals with one illness and leave with another. 🏥 Hospital-acquired infections are a huge, costly problem. But research from LTH Lund, in Sweden points to a clear solution! #HealthcareReform #InfectionRisk

Effective prevention strategies include:

- Eliminating standing water to reduce breeding sites

- Using window screens & treated bed nets

- Applying EPA-approved repellents like DEET or Picaridin #InfectionRisk #MosquitoBorneDiseases

​A recent study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases indicates that individuals who tested positive for COVID-19 face an increased risk of various non–SARS-CoV-2 infections in the 12 months following their initial infection. ​

3/7 Seventy human H5N1 infections and one death have been reported since April 2024. While risk to the general population remains low, those in contact with infected animals face moderate to high risk. Most cases involve exposure to dairy cows or poultry.

Al Haddrell @ukhadds2h Replying to @CaliforniaCodes At CO2 of 500ppm, the virus naturally decays ~98% in 40 mins. Meaning, after an hour >99% is inactivated. If the CO2 is 500 as well, that means the space is well ventilated, so the virus carrying aerosol is also removed. The combination dramatically lowers the risk. 1 174 192 Al Haddrell @ukhadds2h Replying to @ukhadds and @CaliforniaCodes Because CO2 affects both the decay rate and physical removal of the aerosol, the relationship between CO2 and risk is non-linear. 1 4 39 Christophe Veltsos @DrInfoSec. 59m Replying to @ukhadds and @CaliforniaCodes Al, can you clarify what you mean when you say non-linear? Is the risk relationship (WRT CO2) exponential? Asking as the first time I read the tweet, I kept going, then reread & realized, oh, wow, CO2 relates to risk via two important dimensions (ventilation & decay). 8

Al Haddrell @ukhadds Replying to @DrInfoSec and @CaliforniaCodes Exactly! 1) CO2 correlates with aerosol production. Less so when people talk (latest paper). 2) CO2 concentration informs on ventilation/exhaled aerosol still in the space. 3) CO2 affects decay rate. As CO2 goes up, multiple processes are affected (hence non-linear).

Sharing this conversation snippet 👇. Using CO2 to monitor IAQ is an important part of accounting for infection risk. Here's recent exchange w/ Al Haddrell (top #CO2 #IAQ researcher).
