Phylogenomic characterization and signs of microevolution in the 2022 multi-country outbreak of monkeypox virus Nat. Med. (IF 53.44) Pub Date : 2022-06-24 Joana Isidro, Vítor Borges, Miguel Pinto, Daniel Sobral, João Dourado Santos, Alexandra Nunes, Verónica Mixão, Rita Ferreira, Daniela Santos, Silvia Duarte, Luís Vieira, Maria José Borrego, Sofia Núncio, Isabel Lopes de Carvalho, Ana Pelerito, Rita Cordeiro, João Paulo Gomes
The largest monkeypox virus (MPXV) outbreak described so far in non-endemic countries was identified in May 20221-6. Here, shotgun metagenomics allowed the rapid reconstruction and phylogenomic characterization of the first MPXV outbreak genome sequences, showing that this MPXV belongs to clade 3 and that the outbreak most likely has a single origin. Although 2022 MPXV (lineage B.1) clustered with

The covid-19 pandemic will end with public health tools, not clinical ones BMJ (IF 39.89) Pub Date : 2022-06-24 Abraar Karan
We need public health innovation from our governments, writes Abraar Karan As a clinician, I rarely see a patient die from covid-19 anymore. Those who end up in the hospital these days have benefited from the immense advances in clinical science that have brought us vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, and antivirals, and taught us how best to use these and other existing medications, such as steroids

Over the course of the pandemic, NHS performance against national waiting time targets has repeatedly hit new lows. More recently NHS performance has plateaued, however it’s plateaued at a level that is putting patients at risk. Performance has flatlined at new depths because of fundamental problems within the NHS. These underlying problems that existed pre-pandemic, notably the workforce crisis, have

Morgan mourns the shrinking of the medical administrative workforce in favour of new technology.1 Using speech to text is not new; 20 years ago, my secretary and I used ViaVoice software on a PC network in our department. I checked the text for obvious errors, she re-checked—which saved me when I saw what was expected, not what was interpreted—then formatted the letters for printing. It worked well
