Individual: history of antimicrobial use; institution: antibiogtam guidance; national: resistance patterns like the ARSP in the Philippines #PneumoniaChat
Q3: Fighting Resistance
We have to stop using antibiotics incorrectly to save them for the future. When you start antibiotics for pneumonia, how do you make sure you are using them wisely, and when do you decide to stop or switch them? #PneumoniaChat #WiseAntibiotics
Best way: using antmcrobials for the pathogens most likely given the risk stratification and using B lactams for no more than 7 days,. #PneumoniaChat

Guidelines still emphasize a good history and physical exam. This should help you stratify and empirically cover the suspected pathogens. #PneumoniaChat
Q1: Better Diagnosis
We need faster ways to diagnose pneumonia! Aside from the usual X-ray, what quick tests or tools are you finding useful right now to figure out if pneumonia is bacterial (needs antibiotics) or viral (doesn't need them)? #PneumoniaChat
A bit late to the discussion it non pharmacological approaches like fans should alleviate the dyspnea partly and decrease oxygen consumption. Early antimicrobial treatment for bacterial pneumonia though is key. #PneumoniaChat
Q2: Oxygen Access
Oxygen saves lives, but it's hard to get in many places. What simple, practical ideas or equipment changes have helped you get and manage oxygen for your patients, especially in smaller clinics or rural areas? #PneumoniaChat #OxygenSupply
It is unchristian to deprive an unmarried woman, who has chosen to continue her pregnancy, of livelihood when she has chosen to protect what Christianity tells her to - life.
The Supreme Court (SC) reiterated that premarital sexual relations leading to pregnancy are not immoral and do not justify suspending an employee.
The SC ruled that Bohol Wisdom School (BWS), a Christian school, illegally suspended a grade school teacher for becoming pregnant outside marriage.
It held that sexual relations between two unmarried, consenting adults are not immoral. No law prohibits this, nor does it go against any fundamental state policy found in the Constitution.
The SC clarified that under the law, the standard of morality applicable to all is public and secular, not religious.
Public and secular morality refers to conduct that is prohibited due to its harmful effects on human society rather than being based on religious beliefs.
The SC held that if the government were to otherwise base public policies and morals on religious beliefs, this would require everyone to conform to a religious program or agenda.
As the teacher’s pregnancy cannot be considered immoral, it was not a valid ground for her suspension.
The SC ordered BWS to pay the teacher backwages and benefits due her during the period she was suspended.
The Decision was from the Supreme Court’s First Division, written by Associate Justice Ricardo R. Rosario.

There is an awareness of pneumonia in the local setting. We just need to fill the gaps and remove the weeds that create confusion.

Q3: Beyond new antimicrobials, keeping the existing ones useful with stewardship is paramount, using it only on bacterial pneumonia. The provision of quality generic drugs should provide better access. #WorldPneumoniaDay
Q3 What are the most promising advancements in pneumonia treatment, including new antibiotics, antivirals, and immunotherapies? How can we ensure equitable access to these therapies worldwide, especially in low-income countries? #WorldPneumoniaDay
Q2: Beyond the chest radiograph, immunochromatographic assays for the rapid antigen detection of pathogen-specific antigens may be helpful especially in patients with co-morbids
#WorldPneumoniaDay
Q2 What are the latest innovations in pneumonia diagnostic tools and techniques? How can we improve rapid and accurate diagnosis, especially in resource-limited settings? #WorldPneumoniaDay
Q2: in a resource limited setting, patients will allocate out of pocket expense for medications. It will still start with good history taking and physical examination.

Q1 Preventing #pneumonia in children also means reducing the 5 environmental threats below - look at the rising impact of high temp on child #pneumonia deaths (#climatechange) #WorldPneumoniaDay #PneumoniaAwareness (Source: GBD 2021)
Q1 What are the most effective strategies for preventing pneumonia, particularly among vulnerable populations like children and the elderly? How can we promote vaccination, hygiene practices, and environmental improvements to reduce the burden of pneumonia? #worldpneumoniaday
Q1: regarding vaccination, accessibility, availability and affordability are key. But a lot of work has to be put into fighting misinformation about vaccinations in general.

World Pneumonia Day. Let us light the world to fight pneumonia. Let’s start in Manila.

Once you use words like “f*ggot” you lose any moral high ground.
Hello @immigrationPH please look into this. A foreign national calling Pinoys “f*ggots” and “degenerates” to their faces, even bragging he doesn’t care if he’s not in his own country. Hello @senatePH and Sen. @risahontiveros you might want to make him care this isn’t his country.
Heard one of the funniest things I totally identified with in a conference.
While discussing a possible paradigm shift on chemo and muscle mass, the speaker said:
“I just got chills. I think I need to get a life!”
😂👏👏👏😂
