“…The ongoing monkeypox (mpox) disease outbreak has spread to multiple countries in Central Africa and evidence indicates it is driven by a more virulent clade I monkeypox virus (MPXV) strain than the clade II strain associated with the 2022 global mpox outbreak, which led the WHO to declare this mpox outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. The FDA-approved small molecule antiviral tecovirimat (TPOXX) is recommended to treat mpox cases with severe symptoms, but the limited efficacy of TPOXX and the emergence of TPOXX resistant MPXV variants has challenged this medical practice of care and highlighted the urgent need for alternative therapeutic strategies. …”

Corps sensible, environnement urbain moderniste by Françoise Michel-Jones

“…In it, he confronts his character Hulot with a transitionless shift from the familiar conventions of a historic capital (Paris), which make it possible to stroll peacefully, to the exhausting and deceptive signage and plastic and formal components of a big city that makes for a world in itself, with no space or time outside the frame: a city that asserts the international, modernist version of a city rather than its modern version, being ubiquitous and timeless, devoted to accelerated communication, circulation and consumption.Lost in a disappointing “quest” with multiplying loops and dead-ends, Hulot often appears to be dissolving—shadowless body—at the whim of avatars, doubles and reflections, despite the virtues of transparency and communication, considered to be linked with the “new” architectural and urban environment. …”
