Stephen Hedrick, a leader in immunology research, takes us through an introduction of epidemiology as a whole, the theory underlying pandemics, and what we can expect based on what we've experienced in the past. Particularly relevant today, we'll learn if COVID-19 will ever go away, why we need a vaccine and what will happen if we don't obtain one based on history. Learn how science can help us prevent and prepare for the next outbreak. [Health and Medicine] [Show ID: 35990]

Hollis King and Michael Kurisu, both osteopathic physicians (DO's) at UC San Diego, describe how osteopathy is a hands-on medical treatment that focuses on the structure and function of the whole body, not just symptoms of disease or pain. As they explain to host Paul J. Mills, doctors of osteopathy learn the same curriculum as traditional medical students, but they approach their patients with a more integrative philosophy of healthcare.

Jeffrey P. Harris, MD, PhD, FACS joins William Mobley, MD, PhD for a wide-ranging discussion about the field of otolaryngology. With his background in immunology, Dr. Harris has pioneered new methods of drug delivery to the inner ear. As a surgeon, he did the first cochlear implant surgery in San Diego county and continues to work with the technology as it advances. He discusses current treatments for inner ear problems and looks to the future - including treatments for HPV-related facial cancers, regenerating hair cells in cases of hearing loss, the brain's response to cochlear implants and more.

Dr. Homer Boushey discusses the links between pet ownership and protection against allergies. The hygiene hypothesis, the notion that modern cleanliness causes a lack of stimulation of the immune system in early development, suggests that modern cleanliness makes children more vulnerable to allergies.
