Osteosarcoma is an extremely challenging and often aggressive cancer that has particular treatment challenges due to location, changing genotypes, and high recurrence rates. It mostly affects children and young adults under 20 years of age. In a new pharmaphorum podcast, web editor Nicole Raleigh spoke with Paul Romness, president and CEO of OS Therapies, a company focused on the identification, development, and commercialisation of treatments for osteosarcoma (OS) and other solid tumours. Describing the current treatment landscape for primary and secondary bone cancer, Romness explains the potential of their own – OST-HER2, a bioengineered bacterial immunotherapy based on listeria.

Send us a textOn this episode we speak with Dr. Jonathan Zehr.  He and his colleagues discovered an example of evolution in action.  Dr. Zehr will share with us how such a revolutionary discovery was made.Jonathan Zehr is the distinguished professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, Institute of Marine Sciences.  He and his colleagues have discovered the possibility of a complex cellular organism with a nitrogen-fixing organelle derived from endosymbiosis with a nitrogen fixing bacteria. This new organelle is called a nitroplast. Studying a marine alga with a cyanobacterial endosymbiont, Zehr and his colleagues  used soft x-ray tomography to visualize cell structure and division of the alga, revealing a coordinated cell cycle in which the endosymbiont divides and is split evenly, similar to the situation for plastids and mitochondria in these cells.  In other words instead of having a symbiotic relationship, the alga and bacteria integrated to form a newly evolved organism.  Dr. Zehr, welcome to the program.  We can't wait to hear more about this revolutionary discovery.https:/natureandsciencepodcast.com

At the 2025 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium, researchers from Japan reported marked differences between the populations of several key microbial species in the gut microbiomes of patients with metastatic prostate cancer that distinguished them from those with non-metastatic disease. This was in the PROMISE-JAPAN study with 869 Japanese patients. After talking about his group’s new data, lead researcher Koji Hatano, MD, a urologist from Osaka University in Japan, discussed the insights this has given doctors into the metastatic process and potential ways of modifying it.

Welcome to another insightful episode of PICU on Call, a podcast dedicated to current and aspiring intensivists. In this episode, our hosts, Dr. Pradip Kamat, Dr. Rahul Damania, and their colleague, Dr. Jordan Dent, delve into the complexities of managing pneumonia in pediatric patients. The discussion is anchored around a clinical case involving a 10-year-old girl presenting with difficulty breathing and a fever, suggestive of pneumonia. We will break down the key themes and insights from the case, providing a comprehensive guide to understanding and managing pediatric pneumonia.Case PresentationThe episode begins with a detailed case presentation:Patient: 10-year-old girl, 28-week preemie with chronic lung disease.Symptoms: Progressive respiratory distress over eight days, worsening cough, increased work of breathing, hypoxemia (oxygen saturation in the low 80s despite supplemental oxygen).Findings: Chest X-ray reveals bilateral lower lobe infiltrates and a left-sided pleural effusion. Lab results show elevated CRP and a positive respiratory PCR for a bacterial pathogen.This case sets the stage for an in-depth discussion on the various aspects of pediatric pneumoRisk Factors for PneumoniaUnderstanding the risk factors for pneumonia is crucial for early identification and prevention. These risk factors can be categorized into three main groups:Host FactorsIncomplete Immunization Status: Children who are not fully vaccinated are at higher risk.Young Age: Infants and young children have immature immune systems, making them more susceptible.Lower Socioeconomic Status: Limited access to healthcare and poor living conditions can increase risk.Environmental FactorsExposure to Tobacco Smoke: Secondhand smoke can damage the respiratory tract and impair immune function.Seasonal Variations: Pneumonia cases peak during fall and winter due to increased circulation of respiratory viruses.Contact with Other Children: Daycare settings and schools can facilitate the spread of infections.Healthcare-Associated FactorsProlonged Mechanical Ventilation: Increases the risk of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).Nasogastric Tube Placement: Can introduce pathogens into the respiratory tract.Neuromuscular Blockade: Impairs the ability to clear secretions.Inadequate Humidification: Dry air can damage the respiratory mucosa.Pathogenesis of PneumoniaPneumonia occurs when pathogens invade the lower respiratory tract, triggering an inflammatory response. This leads to fluid...

In this episode of the Chasing Giants podcast, hosts Terry and Don discuss Don's recent health scare and the overwhelming support he received from the community. They transition into a conversation about property management, specifically the concept of a 'ceiling' on what can be achieved with a property. Don emphasizes the importance of recognizing this ceiling and making informed decisions about property management. The discussion then shifts to late-season hunting strategies, encouraging hunters to stick to their goals and not compromise as the season winds down. In this episode, Terry and Don delve into various aspects of deer hunting and management, discussing the peculiarities of deer health, the survival rates of buck fawns, and the effectiveness of mock scrapes. They also address the controversial topic of the second rut, emphasizing that it is a myth, and share strategies for managing poaching and protecting crops. The conversation is rich with insights on deer behavior, health issues, and practical hunting tips. Takeaways Don received overwhelming support during his health scare. Every property has a ceiling that limits potential. Hunters should recognize their property's ceiling before making decisions. Late-season hunting requires a commitment to original goals. Compromising hunting goals can lead to missed opportunities. The community's support often outweighs negative feedback. Health changes can lead to better lifestyle choices. Understanding deer movement patterns is crucial in late season. Hunters should focus on long-term goals rather than short-term gains. Videoing deer can provide satisfaction without compromising goals. The size of the abscess on the deer was unprecedented. A deer's age can be misleading based on physical appearance. Survival rates for buck fawns are significantly low due to various factors. Mock scrapes can be more effective with ropes than natural vines. Orphaned fawns may struggle with health issues due to lack of maternal care. Bacterial infections can severely impact deer health and antler growth. There is only one rut each year, despite common beliefs about a second rut. Proper management of deer herds can lead to healthier populations. Using Miscanthus as a screen can deter poachers effectively. Unethical hunting practices can undermine conservation efforts.

New Zealand's tuatara are the last remaining species of an order of reptile that was alive alongside the dinosaurs 240 million years ago. The rest died out about 65 million years ago, but in Aotearoa the tuatara live on, found on 32 offshore islands and in a small number of ecosanctuaries and zoos on the mainland. Now one researcher is investigating the microbial community that lives inside their gut. Are there also bacterial ‘living fossils' to be found? And has their gut microbiome changed as a result of living in captivity on the mainland? Guests:Cam Hoffbeck, PhD candidate, Taylor lab, University of AucklandChye-Mei Huang, Ectotherm ranger, Auckland ZooLearn more:Hear from another researcher who has been exploring the viruses found in tuatara.Cam has also spoken to Emile Donovan on Nights about her research.In 2014 Alison Ballance visited Orokonui Ecosanctuary to learn about the tuatara who had recently made the move to the cold climes of Dunedin.Our own microbiome may affect our brain, moods and behaviour, and changes across our lives.Sign up to the Our Changing World monthly newsletter for episode backstories, science analysis and more.Go to this episode on rnz.co.nz for more details

I've spent some time reflecting back on all my years practicing in hospitals, often not sleeping for extended periods, sometimes days, covering hospitals floors and ICUs, resuscitating people who experienced cardiac arrests, taking them to the cath lab to open arteries, but also witnessing people with all sorts of other health conditions: cancers, wound infections, sepsis, delirium, the various stages of dementia, and hundreds of other debilitating disease. I now recognize that, looking back, so many health conditions can be better understood in light of the contribution of the microbiome, i.e., the trillions of microbes occupying the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus, the nasal sinuses, the airways, the brain, the prostate, the vagina and uterus, the skin—virtually every part of the human body. We all know about acute bacterial infections. But I'm talking about something different. While microbes exert effects via a number of different routes—think the gut-brain axis, the gut-skin axis, the gut-muscle axis, effects exerted via hormones, inflammatory mediating proteins, and bacterial breakdown products. But beyond this, there is a curious phenomenon in which bacteria and fungi themselves, by a number of means, travel through the body to take up residence and cause trouble. But the “trouble” is not an infection in the conventional sense, but something different, less acute, less urgent, less dramatic, but nonetheless playing a big role in your health. This is the fascinating and scary phenomenon called “translocation,” the topic for this episode of the Defiant Health podcast. _______________________________________________________________________________For BiotiQuest probiotics including Sugar Shift, go here.A 15% discount is available for Defiant Health podcast listeners by entering discount code UNDOC15 (case-sensitive) at checkout.*_________________________________________________________________________________Get your 15% Paleovalley discount on fermented grass-fed beef sticks, Bone Broth Collagen, low-carb snack bars and other high-quality organic foods here.* For 12% off every order of grass-fed and pasture-raised meats from Wild Pastures, go here._____________________________________________________________________________MyReuteri and Gut to Glow can be found here: oxiceutics.comSupport the showBooks: Super Gut: The 4-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed

We are back again and this time addressing a question from a parent who wonders, "Do kids get sick more often in the back-to-school season and what can I do to keep my kids healthy?”  The short answer is “yes”.  It IS common for kids to get more frequent infections anytime they are around other people. Hand hygiene, social distancing, vaccines on top of a healthy foundation of adequate rest, good nutrition, movement are your best defenses. Viruses certainly predominate and can be recognized by general symptoms of fever, runny nose, cough, muscle aches, headaches, tummy aches and sore throat. A sore throat is a feature of VIRAL illness but what about strep throat? Strep throat is a BACTERIAL infection in the back of the throat (the pharynx) caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (also known as Group A strep). Pediatricians start to think about a bacterial infection when it is seen in isolation-a sore throat only or maybe with a headache or tummy ache but WITHOUT the more commonly recognized URI symptoms like runny nose and cough. When your doctor is concerned for strep throat, an easy throat swab done in the office with or without a bacterial culture is all that is needed to confirm or refute the diagnosis of strep throat. We treat strep throat with antibiotics (usually amoxicillin) to treat the infection but more importantly, to reduce the likelihood of post-strep sequelae such as rheumatic heart disease and post-streptococcal kidney disease.Is my kid getting sick too often?

What is the vaginal microbiome, and why is it crucial for women's health? How does bacterial vaginosis (BV) and its treatments impact women's lives? Dr. Craig Cohen, a leading expert in obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive sciences at UCSF, explains the importance of the vaginal microbiome and its role in women's health. Drawing from years of experience and extensive research, including his work in Kenya, Dr. Cohen discusses the challenges of treating BV, the necessity of innovative treatments like live biotherapeutics, and the urgent need for better diagnostics and widespread education. He emphasizes the importance of advocacy for research and funding to improve women's reproductive health outcomes.Check out the shownotes to learn more!Takeaways: Understanding the vaginal microbiome is essential for women's reproductive and overall health. Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a common condition that many women may not be aware of. BV can increase the risk of preterm birth, HIV, and other sexually transmitted infections. Proper education and awareness about BV can help women take proactive steps for their health. Routine testing for the vaginal microbiome is not standard but can be requested from healthcare providers. Advocacy for better diagnostics and treatments for BV is crucial to improve women's health outcomes. The vaginal microbiome plays a significant role in maintaining optimal health and preventing infections. ______Support the Podcast: Click here to send in a one-time or monthly donationSubmit a Question: Click here to send in a question!Join the Podcast Mailing list: https://www.globalhealthpursuit.com/mailing-listMake sure to follow me on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook!Email me at hetal@globalhealthpursuit.com______Thank you to our partners at CHIMUK: A sustainable and ethical handmade fashion brand transforming women's lives through knitting.

Most people don't even think twice when they get an infection. Much of the time, the best treatment is simple: fluids and rest. Bacterial infections can be treated with antibiotics – a quick course of pills, maybe a week or 10 days, and you're done.But the rise of drug-resistant pathogens is changing that. These germs (viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi) have developed the ability to survive even the strongest of antimicrobial drugs. This phenomenon is known as antimicrobial resistance or AMR.Drug-resistant infections just from bacteria play a role in close to five million deaths a year. That's five million people. One of those people was a promising, intelligent young woman named Mallory Smith. An honors student, athlete, and writer, Mallory was just 25 when she died. She had cystic fibrosis, but what killed her was a superbug infection she had caught when she was 12. This happened even after getting a lung transplant.Now Mallory's mother, Diane Shader Smith, is telling her daughter's story to the world. She wants people to know about Mallory and about the threat of antimicrobial resistance. She's also collecting the stories of other people who have been made victims of this growing threat to humanity because she understands the difference stories make in ensuring people understand the gravity of antimicrobial resistance.Listen as she tells One World, One Health about her daughter's struggles and about her own hopes for the future of humanity.

Every week I will be sharing an episode from The Holistic Navigator Podcast. This podcast is not diagnosis or treat any disease or illness. Consult your physician before taking supplements or medications OR before you stop taking medications. This is for entertainment and informational purposes only - do your own research and talk to your doctor as needed! Enjoy! www.theholisticnavigator.com We have a lot of bacteria in our gut. Like, a lot. But what happens when bad bacteria get to places they don't belong? Gas, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, feeling full all the time? Yup, pretty much all of these. Bacteria are meant to stay where they belong, but sometimes despite our best efforts they end up causing trouble by populating in the wrong space. Meet Brenda: We're talking to an expert in gut health this week to address this issue head on. We're happy to welcome back Brenda Watson to the show, a gut health expert with a career spanning over 20 years. She's an author, educator, public speaker and TV host that is passionate about sharing her own experiences in an effort to improve the digestive function of everyone she meets. We talk with Brenda about SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and the havoc it can wreak on our systems. Brenda graciously shares all her knowledge about natural remedies that will provide long-term results, the nervous system found in our gut, and how the expensive conventional treatment is likely not the best solution.

Ready to dip a toe in the ocean of biological ingenuity? Dr. Jonathan McLatchie is back, this time to discuss with host Andrew McDiarmid the engineering elegance and irreducible complexity of the process of bacterial cell division. You may wonder why we should care about something so minuscule as bacterial cells. After all, something so insignificant and unseen has little bearing on our daily lives. But if we've learned anything in the biological revolution of the 20th century, it's that consequential things often come in very small packages. And if even the simplest forms of life exhibit stunning complexity and engineering prowess, all the more do we! And that complexity and design demands an adequate explanation. Here, McLatchie describes the remarkable process of cell wall breakage and re-synthesis that allows cell division to take place and explains why it's a big problem for Darwinian evolution. Source

She covers how to assess and care for patients with cirrhosis, emphasizing the important role of nurses in educating families on liver failure.Tune in for critical insights into the management of liver failure and its complications!Topics discussed in this episode:Initial assessment of a rapid response call for hypotensionPathophysiology of cirrhosis and its complicationsManagement of spontaneous bacterial peritonitisRole of nurses in liver failure patient careMentioned in this episode:Rapid Response Academy LinkWanna check out Rapid Response Academy: The Heart and Science of Caring for the Sick? click this link to learn more: https://www.rapidresponseandrescue.com/communityRapid Response and Rescue Intro CourseCONNECT

It's one of the rock stars of intelligent design. ID theorists make a fuss over it and rightly so. But even non-ID scientists admit to getting an "awe-inspiring feeling" from the "divine beauty" of the humble bacterial flagellar motor. And why not? It's a marvel of engineering that originated long before human engineering existed. On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid asks Dr. Jonathan McLatchie to remind us why this tiny nano-machine is such a big deal. Source
