ALERTING @EMA_News and #physicians:
Integrity issues in #EUdravigilance appear to be systemic, not limited to C-19 vaccines (as reported in 2022).
Most disturbing is that other drugs are affected too.
We present #Synagis (#RSV virus) for #infants < 2yr, as an example.

1/n
We extracted serious cases for infants on 19-Dec-22 and compared against our download of 30-Apr-22.
We found that in 44% of all #serious cases the age-group was removed.
As a consequence, the safety profile for #Synagis has been #compromised.

Graph showing nr of #serious reports, observed from the two downloads:
Contrary to the deletion of C-19 vaccine cases we reported earlier,
here we find other types of intervention that compromise a drug’s safety profile,
notably for infants.

1/6) I am happy to share our preprint where we provide new data regarding the efficiency of Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in eliciting an antibody response in breastmilk >>>
2/6) This is a product of a fruitful collaboration between Lis Maternity and Women's Hospital, Tel Aviv @SouraskyMedCtr, and the research group of Systems Immunology and Immunotechnology, The @ShmunisR @TelAvivUni >>>
3/6) We describe a cohort of #breastfeeding women who received two doses of the @BNT162b2 @PfizerBioNTech vaccine. For all participants, we collected blood and #breastmilk samples at four time points post-#VaccinationCovid (days 7, 14, 28 35) and monitored >>>
NEW: #Indiana considering whether to legalize 14.4 ppb #lead in drinking water for #infants and #toddlers with House Bill 1045.
Bill here: iga.in.gov/legislative/20…
My perspective provided below. There's still time to fix a bad bill and protect Indiana's children.

2/ The current bill requires #preschool and #childcare facilities to conduct drinking water testing for lead. If lead "equals or exceeds 15 parts per billion" (ppb), they must reduce the lead levels.
Testing = Good
15 ppb lead = Bad
Testing = Good
15 ppb lead = Bad
3/ What do the experts say?
Well, the @AmerAcadPeds (doctors dedicated to the health, safety and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults says lead no greater than 1 ppb. (These are doctors who know #children's health)

Seguint el nostre principi de #CompartimConeixement hem publicat l’Eina de cocreació d’espais lúdics amb infants i adolescents. Objectius: contribuir a fer més sistemàtica la #ParticipacióInfància i millorar l’#espaipúblic per una #CiutatJugable
T’ho expliquem en aquest fil 👇
T’ho expliquem en aquest fil 👇
La guia neix de les experiències pilot de cocreació amb infants del Parc Central de @Bcn_NouBarris i el Parc de la Pegaso a @BCN_SantAndreu: 170 nois/es de 5 escoles i 1 esplai van aportar coneixement i experiència a l'equip d'arquitectes per fer el disseny actual #Ciutatjugable
La guia inclou la descripció metodològica de les sessions, els materials necessaris, l'explicació dels rols que han d'assumir els actors implicats i orientacions per tal que la cocreació sigui un èxit. Tot a punt per començar a cocrear!
Interested in doing/analyzing #neuroimaging studies in #infants or young #children? New pre-print by @GaabLab led by the wonderful @TedTuresky:

#Neuroimaging the rapidly developing #brain: Current challenges for #MRI studies in the first five years of life
osf.io/7q4cm/
Rapid and widespread changes in #brain anatomy and physiology in the first five years of life present substantial challenges for developmental #MRI studies. One persistent challenge is that methods best suited to earlier developmental stages are suboptimal for later stages
This new review describes the data acquisition, processing, & analysis challenges that introduce these potential biases when conducting & analyzing data from infants and young children & attempts to elucidate decisions & recommendations that can optimize developmental comparisons
