Did you know that June is Myasthenia gravis (MG) awareness month? MG is a chronic autoimmune disease that causes weakness in the body's voluntary muscles.       Our team at Rallybio is committed to raising awareness of the challenges and opportunities faced by those who battle rare diseases like myasthenia gravis every day.  #myastheniagravis #MG

This #Juneteenth, we at Rallybio invite our colleagues, partners, and stakeholders to join us in reaffirming our commitment to creating a better future for all.       Today, we reflect on the impact racial injustice and inequality have had on our history and how we can create lasting change.       The Rallybio team is committed to advancing #healthequity and honoring the legacy of those who have fought for freedom, justice, and equality.

A report released earlier this month showed the United States continues to have a higher rate of maternal mortality across pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum compared with other high-income nations.       According to the report, there were ~22 maternal deaths for every 100,000 live births in the United States in 2022 (the most recent year for which data was available). That rate was more than double, sometimes triple, those seen in most other high-income countries that year.      The time to prioritize the health of women and babies is now, and preventative testing for rare diseases like #FNAIT is just the beginning of the work to be done.

It’s encouraging to see major bodies like the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force issuing increased screening guidance in women’s health. New recommendations advise women to get a mammogram every other year starting at age 40, a response to rising cancer rates among women in their 40s and evidence that earlier screenings help save lives.      The group estimated that its new recommendations could save up to 20% more lives relative to the old guidance, demonstrating the transformative impact that a stronger focus on preventative care can have on women’s health. At Rallybio, we are fierce advocates for women’s health, and there is no better time to discuss screening and preventative care than now as we close out this #WomensHealthMonth.    For pregnant women in particular, receiving the right test at the right time could have life-changing impacts on both mother and child. We are committed to increasing awareness to screen for devastating diseases such as fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT).    I encourage you to put preventative testing and screening for diseases like breast cancer and #FNAIT at the forefront of your mind this May and beyond.
