Both protagonists of "Penicillin Power" and "The Patch" are young female professionals confronted with stressful moments at the beginning of their careers, while experiencing symptoms of autoimmune diseases that impact their confidence and overall quality of life.

Not sure. I am content as I practiced scanning reading technique for over 40 years so I got the gist I wanted from the study (v interesting) but people may find difficult to read the infographics - associations between single classes of antibiotics and impact on microbiome is the main thing

Thanks. Perhaps a 1000 words summary for the general public would be much appreciated since lot of people needs to take antibiotics quite frequently and yet always with some worrying or concerns

The infographics are totally undecipherable for me, I've understood something from the comments / text of the article but it's very technical indeed

I guess it's worth it a lot, especially because Amoxicillin is said to have a short term impact on gut microbiome, but perhaps you'd better talk with him if you notice something wrong

Just a quick reminder: if you are in London, take a stroll in Bloomsbury and visit the amazing bookshop inside Quakers' Friends House in front of Euston station where you can buy a copy of my books "The Blind Spot" and "Source" πŸ™ - revelatory on data theories research on #autoimmunedisease

The point is not or not only to have more women in STEM and power, or children out of social media.

The point is to have #engineering rules, standards, designs, behaviours fit for this world, not for the World and the Web imagined in the 1990s.

Deepfake must be unlawful, and criminal in #health

A little book full of ideas and snapshots on my independent research project on #sjogrens and other #autoimmunedisease - and with plenty of space to make notes in the margins too.

EU starts talks with industry on how to label AI deepfakes Amid a rise in AI-made videos and images, the industry is warning against being too prescriptive.

I look forward to seeing more engineers and software developers taking positions to label AI fakes of all sorts internationally - see also this c2pa.org

It should be also considered where AI fakes constitute a criminal offence

I very much look forward to receive instructions and put this logo on all my books.

Note that if you are a member of the Society of Authors and have expressed your interest in the scheme last December (like me) the scheme requires you to register again at humanauthored.co.uk

Various monographs, each considering different facets of the autoimmunity problem, from aetiologies to treatments, from care and self-care plans to nutrition, exercise, research and development and more, follow up these "teasers" articles, starting from "The Blind Spot" short stories and "Source"

"The Sicca Messenger" aims at harnessing the creativity of different writing styles, genres (non-fiction, fiction, poetry) and formats (ebook and paperback) to deliver the best and up to date information on this complex subject, together with my own reflective perspective as a patient.

Audience groups of "The Sicca Messenger" project are: researchers, patients and the general public, medics, other professionals from the healthcare sector and from other sectors interested in immunology, medicine, healthcare and autoimmune diseases.

Reforming the Italian β€œMagistracy”

I live in England since 2008, rarely read Italian news but people still ask me questions like "What is the Italian referendum of March 2026 all about?".

I did not know.

A loooong day at the Mayfair Mini Book Fair. Fantastic chats with attentive readers from all ages and backgrounds, amazing to see many so interested in discovering ideas, writers, artists, publishers, and buying books including my books on knowledge for / about #autoimmunedisease

New ideas for prevention + treatments of autoimmune diseases can start reading "The Blind Spot" and "Source", my short stories and poems, part of "The Sicca Messenger" project, with medicine in the footnotes.

Enlightenment and learning guaranteed about the aetiology of #autoimmunediseases

These articles document some of the issues I have encountered:
- lack of data on rare diseases
- survival of superseded or controversial treatments
- clinical guidelines
- expert recommendations
- lived experiences of early symptoms and signs of autoimmunity and its impact of any aspect of life.

If would be a great idea to have a list with names of clinics / hospitals in any Region that offer integrated care for #sjogrens both NHS and private and let the patient choose

If you search how often the guidelines recommend blood tests to monitor risks of cancer / other diseases you get a good synthesis of how complex the decision making is. It should be personalised but often is the opposite: you are lucky if you're in a stratification strategy, seen periodically...🧡

Everyone knows that integrated care is the best approach to #sjogrens but this very rarely exists.
GPs ping pong patients among specialists that do not talk with each other or have to follow different / divergent protocols. It's really stressful for us, costly, ineffective, a waste of time 🧡
