2/6 Use symptoms, not tests to diagnose UTIs:
Uncomplicated lower UTI can be diagnosed with > 90% probability if pt has 2 or more of dysuria, urgency, and frequency, and no vaginal discharge.
This is less reliably predicted for older women.

3/6 No need to culture:
✅Fewer than 2% of urine cultures meaningfully impact choice of treatment or need for follow-up
✅Most guidelines recommend against culture for

@JornalOGlobo @praiabarrarj @eduardopaes está corretíssimo na sua decisão. #Hospitais #Públicos e #Privados do #RioDeJaneiro não têm mais #vagas em #UTIS. A fila de espera aumenta conforme o número de contaminados pelo #COVID19 cresce. Considerando que, graças à #INÉRCIA e #INCAPACIDADE de @jairbolsonaro,
@JornalOGlobo @praiabarrarj @eduardopaes @jairbolsonaro não temos #vacinas suficientes para #imunizar os #brasileiros não há alternativa que não seja a implantação de #restrições #severas à #circulação de pessoas com o #objetivo de #interromper a circulação do #coronavirus, e, em consequência, #diminuir o #contágio, as #mortes,
@JornalOGlobo @praiabarrarj @eduardopaes @jairbolsonaro as filas e o número de internações. O mundo inteiro está sofrendo.
Só não sofre quem já se foi.
Cabe às três esferas de #governo, #federal #estadual e #municipal, criar #condições para que os #cidadãos possam #FicarEmCasa,

Last year, our sister biotech company @LUCABiologics announced VIRGO, the first comprehensive reference in the gene catalog of the human vaginal #microbiome spearheaded by Chief Scientist Dr. Jacques Ravel. A thread 🧵
This database of nearly 1 million non-redundant genes reveals significant genomic and functional diversity within the vaginal #ecosystem, challenging the widely-held notion that an optimal vaginal microbiome is dominated by one strain. 🧵
This new view of intraspecies diversity has deep implications on the development of gene-centric, microbial therapies to target #diseases like bacterial vaginosis, urinary tract infection, and STI, which impact millions of women globally.🧵
Mediante comentário publicado online no @LancetChildAdol Wang et al. sugerem a adoção de um plano de contingência pelas #UTIs #neonatais afim de proteger e resguardar estes pacientes durante o surto 🌍 do novo #coronavírus #2019nCov : 📲

"1. Adotar precauções padrões para a higiene e desinfeção das mãos na entrada da #UTI #neonatal e o fornecimento de #EPI como luvas, máscaras #😷 #N95 ou #PFF2 e #óculos de proteção para #TODOS os #profissionaisdesaúde
2. Limitar & restringir imediatamente o n. de visitas nas UTIs #neonatais, assim como o uso de #EPI por parte de #visitas.
