@3dprinting I cut the hole in the FilaBilly Humidor's side today. I used it as an excuse to get a new toy-- er, tool for the workshop. Jigsaws have come a long way since my 1985 model.

At twenty weeks’ #gestation, Halo was #diagnosed with #anencephaly, a #neuraltubedefect (#NTD) where the #brain fails to fully form. The #lifeexpectancy of #anencephalic #babies #postbirth is usually measured in hours.

Reform Austin · “Sen. Cruz, What About My Daughter’s Tragic Life Was ‘Reasonable?’” - Reform AustinOne of the hardest things about Samantha Casiano’s daughter’s death was the gifts. Friends, family, and well-wishers saw only a pregnant woman, not someone that was being forced to carry a fetus to term despite there being no hope for survival outside the womb. So, the little presents kept coming, earmarked for a girl named […]

#Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease (#NTD); one diagnosis is finding the parasite egg in urine. It can be as low as one egg in one liter. We can use our microfluidic to find and identify the egg using cheap microscopes.

How cheap, you ask? Same question I asked @beniroquai: “what’s the cheapest microscope we can do for this detection?” And so the #ESP32 #microscope was born. Less than 10€, mostly 3D printed, wifi, and fully open: github.com/Matchboxscope/Match

Would never have thought that a paper about #scabies #outbreaks in UK #carehomes would end up with over 100 citations (and at the moment is my most cited paper)

And with scabies now being a Neglected Tropical Disease, good to see a bit of momentum building about addressing this #NTD as a global #publichealth problem

The Lancet Infectious DiseasesScabies outbreaks in ten care homes for elderly people: a prospective study of clinical features, epidemiology, and treatment outcomesClinical presentation of scabies in elderly residents of care homes differs from classic descriptions familiar to clinicians. This difference probably contributes to delayed recognition and suboptimal management in this vulnerable group. Dermatoscopy and microscopy were of little value. Health-care workers should be aware of the different presentation of scabies in elderly people, and should do thorough examinations, particularly in people with dementia.
