In an unexpected and alarming event last week, a Florida resident, Joseph Scaglione, and a neighborhood dog found themselves at the jaws of a rabid otter in Jupiter, Florida. This incident has raised concerns about the dangers posed by wild animals, particularly those infected with the deadly rabies virus.    The Incident    Joseph Scaglione, while feeding ducks in his backyard, was taken by surprise when an otter leaped from a nearby pond and bit him multiple times. "My pinky bore the brunt of the attack. I sustained two puncture wounds on it. I'm uncertain if the bite went right through, with one wound near the cuticle," Scaglione conveyed to CBS Miami.    On the same day, a dog, accompanied by its owners and their infant, became the otter's next target in the vicinity. The community's swift response led to the otter being safely captured using a recycling bin. Sadly, the creature tested positive for rabies and was subsequently euthanized.    Given the gravity of the situation, the Florida Department of Health for Palm Beach County felt it essential to notify the public, emphasizing the urgency to avoid wild and potentially feral animals and to promptly report any suspicious animal activity to Animal Care and Control.    The Menace of Rabies    But what exactly is rabies? A viral ailment predominantly transmitted by animals, rabies can infect humans when they're bitten or scratched by an infected creature. A chilling fact about rabies, as highlighted by the Mayo Clinic, is the near non-existence of survivors once the disease manifests. The only recourse, post exposure, is to receive immediate medical intervention, which usually involves a series of shots to counteract the infection.    Although globally, domestic dogs are responsible for 99% of human rabies cases, such instances are infrequent in the U.S. The threat in the States more often stems from wild animals like bats and raccoons, which can spread the disease via their saliva.    The World Health Organization (WHO) describes the symptoms of rabies as beginning with fever and a burning sensation and escalating to a fatal inflammation of the brain and spinal cord. Two primary forms of rabies exist: paralytic and furious. The latter can be particularly menacing, causing hallucinations, hydrophobia (a potent fear of water), and a fear of fresh air. Without swift intervention, death often follows within days.    Hydrophobia, a hallmark of rabies, manifests as a deep-seated dread of water. This symptom can be so overpowering that even attempting to sip water can trigger spasms in the infected person. A tragic case from 2018 detailed a 49-year-old man, bitten by a dog, who succumbed to rabies post displaying hydrophobia, despite an initial vaccine dose.    The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) staunchly advise that any interaction, especially those involving bites or scratches from unfamiliar or wild animals, mandates immediate consultation with healthcare professionals. An essential first aid measure involves thoroughly cleaning the wound with soap and water.    For those exposed, the suggested treatment is the administration of the human rabies immune globulin (HRIG) for immediate protection, followed by four doses of the rabies vaccine over two weeks. These vaccines, as per the CDC, are akin to the familiar flu or tetanus shots in terms of administration and discomfort.    A Deeper Dive into Otter Attacks    Otters, primarily peace-loving creatures, rarely engage in aggressive encounters with humans. Recent headlines, however, tell a different story. From a surfer in California getting an unexpected otter companion to three women in Montana facing an otter's wrath while tubing, there's been an uptick in such anomalies.    Historically, there have been only 44 reported otter attacks since 1875, as per a Canadian study from 2016. The study goes on to explain that such encounters are likely due to humans inadvertently venturing into otter territories. The otter's sharp canines can inflict severe injuries, and while rabies in otters is uncommon, it's not unheard of.    Precautionary Measures    For safeguarding pets and human communities, the Florida Department of Health underscores the importance of keeping pets' rabies vaccinations current. Additionally, supervising pets, alerting animal control about strays, and educating children on the dangers of interacting with unfamiliar animals are pivotal steps in ensuring safety.    In conclusion, while the recent otter incident in Florida was unusual, it serves as a grim reminder of the dangers lurking in our surroundings. It underscores the imperative need for awareness and precautionary measures against potential rabies exposure and its devastating consequences. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Liz Wheeler, host of “The Liz Wheeler Show,” wants everyone to know that our children are being attacked by “forces of Marxism.” It's NOT an exaggeration, and her new book, “Hide Your Children: Exposing the Marxists Behind the Attack on America's Kids,” shows exactly how the far Left has the nation's youngest citizens in its crosshairs — especially within America's public schools. In this episode of “The Glenn Beck Podcast,” Wheeler joins Glenn to outline exactly where these attacks are taking place. Plus, they discuss why Planned Parenthood recently has become a major force in the trans rights movement, the woke villainization of white, Christian men, and the biggest misconceptions regarding AI (artificial intelligence).   SPONSORS: My Patriot Supply is the nation's largest preparedness company.

Today on Midday, we're going to talk about suicide with mental health professionals and advocates who are educating the public to help save lives. Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States. In 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control, more than 48,000 people died by suicide. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention estimates that around 1.7 million people attempted suicide that year. Tom turns to three experts to give us a better understanding of suicide and the millions of individuals affected in our state. Tammi Ginsberg is the former President of the Maryland Chapter of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Dr. Ethan Mereish is an Associate Professor and Director of the Lavender Lab at the University of Maryland, College Park which focuses on people of color and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Shandel and Melanie dig into what's at the center of the Process for Sustainable Growth - Values. Living our values (even when it's hard) keeps us in the healthy cycle of growth and moving in the right direction. Values evolve when we do hard work on ourselves and lean into personal growth. As we grow, we start to uncover parts of ourselves that we weren't able to lean into before, or find things that we didn't realize were so important to us. Finding our values is so important and digging into what really drives us? When we don't live our values, we off-ramp into the cycle of misery, which results in protecting ourselves instead of our values. Most of the time, people don't do this intentionally – it's out of fear, frustration or some hard emotion that we aren't tackling. We can get off track when we aren't in tune with our emotions or we aren't dealing with them in a positive way. But we are able to get back into the heathy cycle by reconnecting with our values. If you find yourself in the cycle of misery and not living your values, it doesn't mean you're a bad person, it just means you are off track and you need to get back on track! Lean into those hard things that you're avoiding right now and make sure your values are at the center of your actions. Truth and trust fuels us through the cycle, which we build through living our values. When we are truth-telling and trusting ourselves and others, we facilitate (fuel) our process through healthy growth.A great weekly exercise is to look at your values and ask yourself if you're truly living them, or what is one step that you can do this week to honor that value more? This helps us keep our values at the forefront and allows us to lean into them, even when it's hard!

In this episode of the Advancing Surgical Care Podcast, ASCA Chief Executive Officer Bill Prentice talks with orthopedic surgeon and ASCA Board member David Weinstein, MD, about performing outpatient total shoulder surgeries in both hospitals and ASCs.Tens of thousands of patients with commercial insurance undergo safe, effective total shoulder surgeries in ASCs each year, saving themselves and their insurers millions of dollars. Yet the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has refused to extend its insurance coverage to ASCs—the less costly site of care and the one that most patients prefer. Dr. Weinstein discusses several clinical studies that include findings that support making this change, as well as his own experience performing thousands of shoulder surgeries, in this compelling case for finally allowing Medicare patients the same choice that private pay patients enjoy today.Dr. Weinstein is a graduate of the University of Colorado School of Medicine, where he completed his residency in orthopedic surgery, as well as an associate clinical professor at the University of Colorado Department of Orthopedics in Denver.

The birth of a child ought to be one of the most exhilarating experiences in any parents' lives. It should be a joyful and memorable time.  However, babies born with birth defects is more common than you think. Birth defects affect 1 in every 33 babies born in the United States each year. That translates into about 120,000 babies. Each year, total hospital costs for U.S. children and adults with birth defects exceed $23 billion, not including outpatient care or many provider charges, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.   Gina Mundy is an attorney that specializes in childbirth cases. She has dedicated the last two decades to this work.  Throughout her career Gina has traveled nationwide, engaging with healthcare professionals such as doctors, nurses, and midwives to explore all aspects of labor and delivery. These interactions have provided her with invaluable insights, enabling her to appreciate the diverse perspectives prevalent in different regions of the country. Meeting with experts from various states, she has explored and analyzed the myriad of issues that can arise during labor and delivery, impacting both mother and baby. Gina has conducted extensive research, meticulously analyzing, and dissecting countless studies pertaining to childbirth. This rigorous process was essential in equipping her with the necessary knowledge to undertake lengthy cross-examinations of a diverse array of experts. Through these examinations, she skillfully discerns their opinions on the errors that have occurred during labor and delivery. “I authored the book "A Parent's Guide to Safer Childbirth" to help parents avoid these mistakes and complications and have a healthy baby. This is new information for parents, grandparents, families, and friends who want to do everything they can to help make sure baby is healthy at birth. This is much different than any other book on childbirth.” This has sharpened her knowledge allowing her to become highly proficient in the nuances of childbirth. In her capacity as legal counsel, Gina has closely worked with delivery teams whose care has been questioned following adverse outcomes. She has spent thousands of hours meticulously scrutinizing cases, conducting interviews with delivery teams, and thoroughly examining medical records to gain an in-depth understanding of every decision made during labor and delivery. She joined me this week to tell me more.   Get the book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9KFNPNQ For more information: https://ginamundy.com/

The Office ( US ) : Michael declares Bankruptcy- Play 0:03-0:10 Bankruptcy Filings Spiked In 2023 Under The Biden Administration, And You Should Expect More Financial Chaos To Come Data released Tuesday showed that Americans filed more than 39,000 bankruptcy cases in Aug. 2023, an 18 percent increase from the same time last year. The data released by Unusual Whales details how, along with personal bankruptcy filings, there were more than 41,600 new bankruptcy cases recorded in August, including for businesses. This marks the thirteenth consecutive month that bankruptcy filings have shown a year-over-year increase under the Biden administration’s embarrassing and dangerous economic policies. The bankruptcy filings are not a surprise to anyone with a finger on the pulse of the domestic and global economy, but likely come as a shock to those just trying to keep afloat. As so many families were lulled into a false sense of financial security during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, their ill-advised spending habits have landed them in hot water. Many folks bought homes they couldn’t afford in the last two years, often with minimal down payments, bad credit and sky-high mortgage rates. Some of these individuals were banking on a pause or total relief of their student loan debt to keep the lights on, but this hasn’t really materialized like people thought it would (duh). The most terrifying thing is that a lot of folks set-up interest-only payments for property purchases for the first five years or so of their mortgage. This means lower payments today, but zero equity build-up in homes these individuals won’t be able to afford once they’re forced to pay the equity and interest — which will almost definitely lead to more bankruptcies, foreclosures and worse. https://dailycaller.com/2023/09/25/mayors-fault-blue-city-average-40-vehicle-thefts/ ‘The Mayor’s Fault’: Blue City Reports An Average Of 40 Vehicle Thefts A Day Police officers in Oakland, California, have reported more than 10,000 motor vehicle thefts in the city since the start of 2023, data from the Oakland Police Department (OPD) shows. The OPD recorded a total of 10,547 motor vehicle thefts — an average of 40 vehicle thefts a day — and a 51% increase from the year-to-date reported number of thefts in 2022, CBS News Bay Area reported. At least 133 vehicles were stolen between Sept. 11 and Sept. 17, and an additional 12 vehicles were carjacked during the same time period, according to the OPD data. Now I’m no math wiz - but that’s a lot of thefts! Oakland residents have placed pressure on their district attorney and mayor for months to increase the town’s police force and security response as crime in the city has continued to escalate. Residents became even more frustrated with local officials over the past week after the city failed to submit an application to the California government to receive additional crime-fighting funds. “The buck stops with the mayor. This is the mayor’s fault. It stops with the mayor. We need to hear from the mayor,” Oakland NAACP President Cynthia Adams told CBS on Sept. 18. Officers admitted that the number of overall crimes in the area is likely much higher because many residents have stopped reporting crimes to the police, according to CBS. Total crime in Oakland has gone up 27% since 2022 while violent crime has increased by 20%, OPD data shows. The Oakland mayor’s office and the OPD did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/desire-large-families-50-year-high-america Desire for large families hits 50-year high in America: Gallup A growing number of people in America prefer families of three or more children, hitting the highest desire for large families since 1971. According to a Gallup survey released Monday, the number of people who prefer smaller and larger family sizes are statistically tied, bouncing back from a decadeslong trend of believing one or two children was ideal. "Overall, this recent survey shows that Americans might finally be climbing out of the anti-family bomb shelter caused by the myths of the 1960’s of a population explosion disaster," Terry Schilling, the president of the American Principles Project, told the Washington Examiner. "Favoring more children is a sign that Americans are returning to basic principles and values that life was made for — bringing forth the next generation through the family." Forty-five percent now favor larger families, with 29% finding three children as ideal, 12% who prefer four, and 2% each who prefer five, six, or more. That is compared to 47% who believe two or fewer children is ideal, with 44% preferring two children and 3% preferring one. Two percent believe the ideal family should not include children. Gallup pointed to several social trends from past decades that may have contributed to the decline in having children, including the preference for larger families "plummeting" from 70% in 1967 to 52% in 1972 "fueled at least in part by concerns about a global population explosion, resulting from the 1968 bestselling book entitled The Population Bomb." The organization started tracking this data in 1936, when 64% preferred three children, reaching a peak in 1945 at 77%. However, by 1973, the strong preference for families of one or two children became the norm, evidenced by the 50% drop in children-per-family from the peak of the baby boom to 1.8 children in 1980. What stands out to Schilling, however, is that only 8% do not wish to have children, leaving over 90% with the desire for children at any amount. "The 8% of America that’s anti-family has way too much representation in our culture — especially in entertainment, politics, news media, academia, and even corporations," Schilling said. Gallup notes that people under the age of 30 are at least twice as likely to say they do not want children, but the "vast majority" continue to prefer having children. Twenty-one percent of that age group already has children, and 63% hope to have children in the future. Moreover, 69% of those who already have children want more, as well as 15% of 18- to 40-year-olds who want to be parents someday. Six percent of childless people aged 41 and older also wished they had children. While ideal family size is not significantly different from men to women, other demographic traits do trend in certain directions. Young people aged 18-29 are more likely than any other age group to prefer larger family sizes, and black and Hispanic people are also more likely to prefer larger families. In addition, Republicans, conservative independents, and lower-income residents tend to prefer families with more children. By contrast, Democrats, non-religious, and wealthy residents are more likely to prefer only one or two children. Despite stated preferences, birth rates have been on the decline, and adults are starting families much later in life, which is highly correlated to smaller family sizes. In 2021, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported the average age of a woman who had her first child was 27.3 years, a record high. Part of the answer for fertility declines, author Melanie Notkin writes in a piece for the Institute for Family Studies, is that much like the effect of The Population Bomb in the 1960s and 1970s, "we have a similar trend with the rise of anti-natalism where its nihilistic supporters believe the world is too sad a place to bring children into, along with climate change 'doomerism.' More practically, the current economy makes family forming more challenging for many young Americans." However, the public has appeared to cut through some of the popular trends, Schilling told the Washington Examiner. "There are so many policies across the cultural and economic spectrum that make family formation much more difficult, and it’s a true testament to the beauty and intrinsic value of the family that in spite of all the hurdles before us, we still desire children and family," he said. https://www.newsmax.com/world/globaltalk/biden-poland-billions-aid-ukraine-defense-russia/2023/09/25/id/1135800/ US Offers Poland Rare Loan of $2 Billion to Modernize Its Military My goodness - we’re giving out loans everywhere! You get a loan, you get a loan, and you Hawaiins get $700… The Biden administration announced Monday that it is offering a $2 billion loan to Poland, which has been a hub for weapons going into Ukraine, to support the ally's defense modernization. The State Department said in a statement that Poland is a “stalwart” ally of the U.S. whose “security is vital to the collective defense” of NATO ’s eastern flank, and that such funding is reserved for Washington’s most important security partners. The U.S. government is also providing Warsaw up to $60 million for the cost of the loan in Foreign Military Financing (FMF) which would support “urgent procurements of defense articles and services from the United States,” the State Department said. The $60 million is a loan subsidy meant to ensure that Warsaw can secure favorable terms for the loan. Poland has been a staunch supporter of Ukraine since Russia’s full-scale invasion of the country, handing over large numbers of its own tanks, fighter jets and other equipment. It has also been a hub for most of the Western weapons going to Ukraine. It has been undergoing a process of modernization to replace what it gave away, much of which was based on old Soviet technology, putting in orders with U.S. and South Korean defense companies. Recently the Polish-Ukrainian relationship has seen strains due to a trade dispute centered on Ukrainian grain entering the Polish market and driving down the prices Polish farmers can get. Amid the spat Poland’s Prime Minister said his country was no longer sending any more weapons to Ukraine. The comment created some confusion. Analysts noted that Poland has already in fact given Ukraine most of what it has to give, and the statement was made ahead of a Polish election and did not mean much. But it also raised concerns that Western support for Ukraine could be weakening. U.S. officials have sought to play down the spat, praising Poland’s role in helping Ukraine and noting that it is in Poland’s strategic interest for Ukraine to prevail against Russia.

How does having an understanding of childhood adversity and trauma shape the way we care for and support our older adults today? My guest today is Jean Hartnett. Jean Hartnett is a visionary healthcare leader with over 25 years of executive experience serving the older adult population. She has not only worked hands-on with older adults but also collaborated extensively with professionals in the field. Beyond her direct experience, Jean possesses a profound understanding of public health policy issues. Today, we talk about the importance of trauma-informed care. Jean shares insights on common types of childhood adversity and their lasting impacts on physical and mental health. We discuss how caregivers and healthcare providers can recognize the signs of trauma and devise effective strategies. We also explore available resources and tools that can assist caregivers in their efforts. Our conversation touches on the challenges and benefits of implementing a trauma-informed approach to care. Jean shares how she envisions the evolution of senior care, the role this approach takes, and how families can better understand and become informed about the effects of childhood trauma in their loved one's lives, along with supporting the front-line staff in senior living communities. We also talk about overcoming the stigma and misconceptions surrounding mental health. According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 90% of our older adults have experienced at least one form of the common types of childhood adversity and trauma. As we strive to build a trauma-informed community and promote healing for our older adults, Jean's insights are invaluable. I'm so happy that Jean has joined me for this conversation.

To help the nation's truck stop and travel center operators better understand fleets, drivers and their needs, NATSO Services launched a survey of company drivers, leased drivers, independent owner/operators and fleet owner drivers in 2022. For the 2023 edition, NATSO Services asked professional drivers how often they fuel, rest and shop at travel centers during their work week, what brings them inside and their expectations around wait times, employee interaction, and food and loyalty preferences. The survey revealed incredible opportunities to increase wallet share of existing customers, bring more buying customers inside and convert customer traffic into sales. Key findings include: The cleanliness of the showers and restrooms came out as the most important determining factor in where professional drivers stop. Loyalty programs can be a powerful tool for attracting and retaining customers and spurring sales. More than half of drivers—55%—said that loyalty programs influenced their decision to make non-fuel purchases. Not surprisingly, the survey found that check-out delays significantly affect purchasing. Most drivers—58%—said they would only wait in line for one to five minutes and 3% expect no wait. 10% said they'll leave even if there are just two people in line. 36% of fueling customers said they'd go inside for reliable food from a national brand they recognize and 21% said they'd go inside for out-of-the-ordinary food offerings. Christine Schoessler, COO of NATSO and Amy Toner, Executive Director of the NATSO Foundation, discuss the survey results.

With training camp only a few days away, it's easy to start to think about what the rotations will look like. One place that's getting a lot of attention? With the addition of Christian Wood, how will the Lakers fold him in a way that makes the most sense offensively AND defensively? To that end, one prevailing argument (expressed on this show, for sure) is that Wood isn't a great option to start because it leaves LeBron James playing far too much small forward by design, which is not a good idea for a nearly 40-year old player in his 21st season. So in response to a viewer question about the Davis/James/Wood rotation dynamic, we break down how it could work. Yes, the three of them might get a few minutes together here and there, but it's likely not a regular thing. That said, Wood can absolutely, and will absolutely, play with both guys. It's just that more attention goes to his fit with Davis, both because in theory Davis protects Wood defensively, and because it's Wood that helps Davis spend less time at center, vs. power forward. To say the least, Darvin Ham has a wealth of options at his disposal. As camp gets closer, we're focusing on position groups. Monday was the guards, today the centers. Another big contrast between last year's group and this year's (remember Damian Jones?). Davis, Wood and Jaxson Hayes are the three main C's, with LeBron and Jarred Vanderbilt likely to get a few minutes here and there in small lineups. It looks like there's a blueprint for Davis and Wood... but what does that leave Hayes? Is there a path to playing time for him, especially in the games where Davis and Wood are available? Finally, another great viewer comment about the way the bar is likely to be raised in the West this year. Last year wasn't exactly easy, but it's fair to say the Conference played along as the Lakers struggled, and left the door open far longer than it might have been in a typical year. And this season is shaping up to be truly brutal. So how tough is that path to a high seed? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Optimism to start the season, and a look at the James/Davis/Wood dynamic. SEGMENT 2: Breaking down the centers. SEGMENT 3: It's gonna be very, very tough out West this year. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Our expert explains how treatment has changed, how medical care has adapted since the opioid crisis and how to find help.

Research consistently shows that young people who wait until after the wedding have a better chance for a stable, fulfilling, happy marriage. They also do not have to worry about sexually transmitted diseases and unplanned pregnancies. Though this does not fit with contemporary assumptions about human beings, obedience to the Lord's loving plan always works best, and brings incalculable benefits into our lives.   While we may or may not hear this kind of moral clarity in church, it's been quite a while since the government has admitted the negative consequences of unmarried sex, particularly for teenagers. However, a 2016 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated clearly that young people who are virgins register much higher in nearly all health-related behaviors than those who are sexually active. These behaviors included everything from using seat belts to avoiding drug abuse, eating a healthy diet, going to the doctor, exercising, and avoiding riding with a driver who's been drinking. In addition, one finding that the media did not mention at the time is that while sexually inactive teens are healthiest, sexually active homosexual and bisexual teens fared significantly worse than their sexually active heterosexual peers.   At the time, the CDC conveyed the blockbuster conclusions of their report as drily and bureaucratically as possible: “Significant health disparities exist.” A summary of the CDC study provided by Focus on the Family clarified just how significant these disparities are.   First, smoking. The study found that sexually active heterosexual teens were 3,300% more likely to smoke tobacco products daily than their virgin counterparts. “Same-sex/bisexual-active” teens were 9,500% more likely to smoke daily than the virgins.  Second, drug abuse. The study found that sexually active heterosexual teens were 500% more likely to have ever injected a non-prescription drug than the virgins, while a whopping 2,333% of the “same-sex/bisexual-active” teens were more likely than the virgins to have done so.  Now, as Focus noted at the time, correlation is not causation. The research did not prove that abstinence causes other healthy habits. However, the very fact that the CDC noted a relationship between sexual behavior and other habits is more than a little significant. Though the CDC would never put it this way, the summary offered by Focus on the Family was clear and succinct: “The sexual choices and values our young people hold have real-life consequences far beyond sexuality itself.”  Parents who care about the health and well-being of their children should especially take note of this data and have confidence that they can make a difference for their child. Researcher Mark Regnerus highlighted in his book Forbidden Fruit that the intensity of teens' religious beliefs is more important when it comes to sexual activity than exactly what religious beliefs they claim.  The first thing, then, for parents to care about is our kids' faith. A strong, informed, and vital relationship with Jesus will help them resist the kinds of temptation and peer pressure—sexual and otherwise—that assault them every day at school and online.  In other words, worldview matters. The CDC report demonstrates there are consequences for a secular worldview that sees bodies as something we “own,” something external to who we are, something we use (or abuse) depending on our desires, our will, or our “identity.”  The Christian worldview, in sharp contrast, teaches that our bodies are integral to who we are, both in how humans were created and in that Christ took on flesh to make all things new. The extent that we and our kids truly embrace this will determine how we treat our bodies and the bodies of others.  For more resources to live like a Christian in this cultural moment, go to breakpoint.org.  This Breakpoint was revised from one originally published on December 9, 2016.

Kentucky basketball has had a number of great frontcourt players come through the program over time. On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, we asked ChatGPT to give us the top 10 centers in Kentucky basketball history. Note that GPT's knowledge of sports history only goes up to January of 2022, so Oscar Tshiebwe didn't make the list. I'm sure the AI would have placed him inside the top 10 was it aware of Tshiebwe's accomplishments. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

In this episode, we briefly review RSV (respiratory syncytial virus) infections and focus on new data supporting the use of two different RSV vaccines (Abrysvo and Arvexy) in preventing RSV infections in older adults and in pregnant women. Key Concepts RSV is a contagious respiratory virus that is usually mild and self-limiting in most patients but can cause severe disease especially in young children or older adults with certain risk factors. The FDA recently approved two vaccines for RSV (Abrysvo from Pfizer and Arexvy from GSK). The initial FDA approval was for adults 60 years of age and older; however, the FDA recently granted an additional indication for Abrysvo for pregnant women (to prevent the infant from severe RSV infection once born). When studied in older adults, both vaccines did meet efficacy criteria but the incidence of RSV infection was relatively low and thus the number needed to treat (NNT) is high. Both studies were done at times with lower RSV prevalence - the NNT would likely be more favorable during RSV outbreaks. Unlike Abrysvo, Arvexy (GSK) contains an adjuvant to improve the immune response. Although direct comparisons of efficacy and safety are not appropriate, Arvexy does appear to elicit more systemic adverse effects such as fever, myalgias, headache, and fatigue.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, 63 percent of adults aged 18 or older drink sugar-sweetened beverages daily. It is widely known that drinking soda, or pop, can cause you to put on some extra pounds.   But a recent study also linked these types of sweetened drinks to liver cancer.   Let's go through the details of this study and have a look: How bad can soda really be?   ⭕️ Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

In the United States, nearly 68 million people speak a language other than English at home. That number has virtually tripled over the last three decades. As our country continues to experience this soaring growth, qualified medical interpreters are becoming more essential to improving health outcomes and achieving health equity goals. Patients with hearing loss or limited health literacy may also require interpretation services. “Effective communication through interpreter utilization is one of the most important things we can do to help our patients with that,” Anna Ruman, MD, says.     Dr. Ruman is one of our guests on today's episode. She is an assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and a hospitalist at Children's Hospital Colorado. Her passion for this work started before attending medical school. After minoring in Spanish in college, she lived and worked in Mexico. From there, she made her way to Chicago to work as an English-Spanish health educator. She is joined by Nancy Casillas, a medical interpreter and program coordinator for the Medical Interpretation and Translation Department here at Children's Colorado. Casillas, a first-generation Mexican American, has been with Children's Colorado for 16 years and understands the challenges of having English as a second language. “I feel that through this work, I'm helping those families who may be newly arrived immigrants to the country, and they may feel a little lost, and with my skills I'm helping them feel not so lost in this country,” Casillas says.    These experts explain how the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has specifically identified language access as one of the five priority areas for the next year, aligning with the shared goal to reduce or eliminate healthcare disparities.   Some highlights from this episode include: How medical interpreters enhance health equity Advantages and disadvantages of different types of interpreting Qualifications for interpretation practice versus being bilingual Advancements happening at Children's Colorado   For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org
