Remember when a bunch of dogs saved hundreds of human's lives in Alaska a century ago? In January of 1925, diphtheria, a deadly disease, swept through the village Nome, Alaska… killing multiple children. The town was frozen in for the winter. No roads in or out. No ships able to break through the ice in the sea around it. No planes able to fly through a winter so cold, temperatures on the ground would plummet to nearly -90 degrees Fahrenheit. The only hope to deliver life-saving anti-toxins to the area? Alaska's wildly hearty, determined, and heroic sled dogs. For Merch and everything else Bad Magic related, head to: https://www.badmagicproductions.com

Editor's note: Beacon was created in 1913 from Matteawan and Fishkill Landing. 150 Years Ago (January 1875) When a 54-year-old employee of the Glenham Company died, it was discovered he had $8,000 [about $230,000 today] on deposit at five banks in New York City. He left the money to his sister's children in Ireland except for $100 [$2,900] bequeathed to his landlady. Although navigation on the Hudson River stopped on Jan. 4 because of the ice, the ferry was still running between Newburgh and Fishkill Landing. In a single day, Thomas N. Avery & Co. shipped 815,000 paper bags from its factory in Fishkill Landing. The Rev. Jabez Marshall, pastor of the Pilgrim Baptist Church in Matteawan, answered a call to lead the church at Ludingtonville, a hamlet in the Town of Kent. The "arithmetic man" at the Newburgh Journal calculated the distance between the Newburgh dock and Dutchess Junction as 2 miles and 22 feet. The distance between the Dutchess Junction and Fishkill Landing train stations was 1.57 miles. William Morgan, who had been arrested at the Fishkill Landing depot for stealing a $50 government bond, was sentenced to 60 days in jail. Nathaniel Cerine of Matteawan lost his brood of Dorking hens to thieves. The Matteawan Fire Department called a community meeting to explain its need for a steam fire engine. Two factory owners pledged $1,000 [$29,000] and residents raised $800 [$23,000]. Mr. Alden of the rubber works at Wiccopee donated $300 [$8,600] and offered to provide the hose at cost. Justice Barnard refused to sanction a disciplinary plan adopted by the Fishkill school board, saying he objected to sending misbehaving students to jail or the poorhouse but was open to other places of confinement. Diphtheria killed several Matteawan residents. Dewitt Hall was seriously injured while crossing Mountain Lane when he was run down by a sled. An early morning fire at Melham's in Matteawan destroyed $5,000 [$143,000] worth of shoes. Beacon Crossings An exhibit at the Beacon Historical Society that continues through March highlights the city's bridges, including crossings at East Main Street, Churchill Street, Wolcott Avenue, Long Dock Park and Dennings Point, as well as the historic Tioronda and Bridge Street/Groveville bridges and two former railroad bridges at Sucker Falls and Rocky Glen. Shown here are some of the 315 local men who worked during the Great Depression to build the Wolcott Bridge, notable for its Egyptian and Art Deco motifs. Completed in 1933, it was nicknamed the Cooperation Bridge because it required a partnership between the city and state. The historical society, at 61 Leonard St., is open from 10 a.m. to noon on Thursdays and 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturdays. See beaconhistorical.org. 125 Years Ago (January 1900) After a three-day trial, a jury ruled that Mrs. Lillian Ash of Fishkill Landing had to pay $15,000 [$564,000] in damages to malvina Prunier of Vermont for alienation of the affections of Frederick Prunier, 32. She had asked for $75,000 [$2.8 million]. According to the Vermont Phoenix, Frederick Prunier was a nurse who cared for William Campbell, a wallpaper manufacturer, during his last days. In his will, Campbell left nearly $1 million [$38 million] to Ash, who had been his housekeeper and whom he had hoped to marry, if he could persuade her husband to divorce her. Prunier was arrested for non-support and allegations he attempted to kidnap one of his children but successfully appealed to Gov. Theodore Roosevelt to avoid extradition to Vermont. Mr. Oakes, the photographer, and his wife welcomed a 12-pound baby girl. According to the Fishkill Standard, August Dondero, a "relic hunter" in Matteawan, purchased a black walnut and brass piano from James McIlravy of Cold Spring. Made by J.H. & M. Leib of New Haven and New York around 1785, it was formerly located in the Longfield House on Market Street in Cold Spring. Inside the piano, Dondero found a photo of Mr. Longfield and a page of sheet music from 1819 ...

Diphtheria, a disease many believed was almost eradicated, is making an alarming comeback. And just as troubling, the seasonal floods are upon Nigerians, bringing with them the threat of a cholera outbreak that could easily spiral out of control. And let's not forget Mpox, a virus that, while less deadly, still poses a significant public health risk.But that's not all. With doctors on strike, and many more leaving the country in search of better opportunities a phenomenon Nigerians have come to know as ‘Japa'. Who is left to care for those who are sick? How are Nigerians coping with the fear and uncertainty? And what does this mean for the future of Nigeria ? Join us on this episode of the Nigeria Daily as we explore these questions.

Over 200 years ago Louis Pasteur was born in Dole, France. Among Pasteur's major contributions and their benefit to society, the most important is the heat treatment of foods and beverages to reduce spoilage and eliminate pathogens for consumers. Probably the greatest achievement of Pasteur was the process that bears the name of this famous scientist who perfected the technique: pasteurization. For liquids, this process does not involve boiling the product to sterility but simply applying just enough heat (ie, par-boiling) to 50–60°C for a specified period to reduce spoilage microbes and potential pathogens. Pathogenic microbes have a lower heat tolerance than most other bacteria. Recognizing that many individuals, from the highly educated to the peasantry, were aware of the effect, it took someone like Pasteur to formalize this knowledge into specific time-temperature standards to assure consistency.  Unpasteurized foods are sold even though they have not been treated with high temperatures. Foods that haven't been pasteurized include:  raw milk some artisanal cheeses some unpasteurized versions of juices and meats Many food safety concerns and a high risk of foodborne illness are associated with eating unpasteurized foods, although there may be a few benefits. Still, evidence indicates that the health risks appear to outweigh any potential benefits in most cases. Here are the benefits and downsides of unpasteurized food products. Benefits of eating unpasteurized foods Unpasteurized food is more likely to retain its organoleptic properties and may sometimes have greater nutritional value. The term “organoleptic properties” refers to the food's taste, appearance, and smell. Exposure to high temperatures during pasteurization not only kills harmful bacteria and viruses in foods. It may also negatively affect the nutritional quality, appearance, and flavor of the food. For instance, some research demonstrated that pasteurization reduced the protective antibodies and immune-supportive vitamin C and zinc in donor human milk.  However, other research shows that these nutrient losses in human milk are minor and that the benefits of pasteurization are greater than the risks.  Downsides of eating unpasteurized foods Unpasteurized foods are associated with the occurrence of foodborne illnesses from bacteria, such as Brucella, Cryptosporidium, Listeria monocytogenes, and antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. In particular, scientific literature frequently mentions that unpasteurized milk and dairy products are particularly high risk foods and common causes of these foodborne illnesses.  These bacterial infections may last from days to weeks. Effects range from mild symptoms — like fever, diarrhea, vomiting, muscle aches, abdominal pain, and poor appetite — to severe outcomes like miscarriage and even death.  Unpasteurized foods present even greater health risks and are more dangerous to people with compromised immune systems, such as older adults, pregnant people, young children, and those with health conditions like cancer. Summary Unpasteurized foods are slightly more likely to retain natural tastes, appearances, flavors, and nutrients, but they are strongly associated with foodborne illnesses. Evidence indicates that the risks of consuming unpasteurized foods greatly outweigh the benefits, especially for immune-compromised people.  (CREDITS)

In 2024, the Ministry of Health will provide Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria and Acellular Pertussis) vaccination to all pregnant mothers at all government primary health clinics. The vaccination is aimed at protecting newborn babies against the three highly infectious and serious diseases. Prof Dr Nazimah Idris, President of the Obstetrical & Gynaecological Society of Malaysia, joins the show to explain why it's important for pregnant women to protect their infants with this vaccination, and to address any concerns about the safety of the vaccine.Image Credit: Shutterstock

The Department of Correctional Services says it has a handle on the Diphtheria outbreak at the Pollsmoor Correctional facility in Cape Town. The national commissioner, Makgothi Thobakgale, says an epidemiological investigation is underway to determine how and where the disease was contracted, which includes contact tracing. A 19 year old detainee died nearly 10 days ago after testing positive for the highly contagious bacterial infection. For more on this Elvis Presslin spoke to Correctional Services Spokesperson, Singabakho Nxumalo

Department of correctional services commissioner Makgothi Thobakgale says the outbreak of diphtheria at Pollsmoor Correctional Centre in Cape Town is ‘ under control'. At least 342 inmates and 36 prison officials have been vaccinated after an outbreak claimed the life of one prisoner. Thobakgale was briefing the media on Monday. 

Following a diphtheria outbreak Pollsmoor Prison, Africa chats to Dr Jo Barnes, Senior Lecturer Emeritus at the Department of Community Health at University of Stellenbosch to understand more on this bacterial infection.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The National Correctional Services Commissioner, Makgothi Thobakgale says a total of 54 detainees at the Pollsmoor Correctional Center in the Western Cape have been identified as having contact with the first person who died of Diphtheria at the prison and have been isolated, while a total of 8 have tested positive for diphtheria and 46 have tested negative. The department has also identified 15 correctional service officials with only 3 presenting symptoms who were tested and released to be isolated at home. Thobakgale was briefing the media on the Diphtheria outbreak at Pollsmoor Correctional Facility. This follows the death of a 19-year-old inmate more than a week ago. Thobakgale, elaborates.

The Health Department has assured the public that a Diphtheria outbreak at the Pollsmoor Correctional Centre in Cape Town, is under control. This follows the death of a 19-year-old inmate more than a week ago. Health Department spokesperson, Foster Mohale, says public health measures were undertaken to contain the outbreak.

Carey Benenson Taussig is teaching a NEW course in our online school: Releasing the Shock to the Waters: A Biodynamic Visceral Course for Long Haul Syndromes.A 50 hour online seminar, 4 three-day modulesTimes: 7 am PST, 10 am EST, 3 pm UK, 4 pm European time zoneAll Courses 15 hours over 3 days, 5 Hours min each day, every 5/6 weeks online onlyFebruary 3, 4, 5, 2023March 17, 18, 19, 2023April 28, 29, 30, 2023June 2, 3, 4, 2023https://prenatal-and-perinatal-healin...About the Course:  Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of Osteopathy in 1905 wrote about how diseases such as Diphtheria acted as a sort of shock to the waters in the body which disrupted nerve conduction therefore "tapping off the lymph" and creating fermentation and heat in the system around the organs. Carey Benenson Taussig D.O.(M.P.) a traditionally trained manual Osteopath teaches about how to guide relief to the system as she teaches how to apply biodynamic visceral manipulation techniques and meditative palpation acknowledging the "in-between" spaces between the organs where this bubbling fermentation may be calling for attention. This heat may trigger a continuous over-reactivity of the immune system and slug momentum to the lymphatic system which ultimately disrupts the endocrine system creating often an inflammatory spin.In her teachings, Carey connects with the potency of nature and often refers to the lymphatic system of the forest and the frequency of the bees. As outlined in her article from Massage Magazine, she also teaches students within their scope of practice on how to work with clients both online and in-person as sometimes clients may be in isolation for medical reasons. Offering technique videos and recorded meditations that also help the practitioner support their clientele, this is a four course program that also taps into her work that she did in her specialized studies on Lyme disease that she completed in 2014 which has then grown with her own clinical and meditative work that she has done over the past 8 years.Four Phases will be discussed and outlined in the four courses:The Recognition and Unwinding of the PredispositionThe Moment of Impact and the Reactivity of the MechanismThe Dehydration and Call for Restoration Phase of DiseaseThe Rebuild and Pathway of Care According to the Individual Hive Mind PhilosophyThe Fee is $495 per class, paid for over 4 months.

In January of 1925, an epidemic of diphtheria threatened to destroy the very small, very isolated town of Nome, Alaska. Diphtheria is straight up horrifying. And without any antitoxin and completely cut off from the rest of civilization, Nome's only hope was to transport diphtheria serum in a 674 mile relay by dogsled drivers through -80 degree temperatures, blizzards, and pounding winds in a matter of days. The team Nome relied on for the heaviest lifting on this relay was that of a 5'4" Norwegian immigrant named Leonhard Seppala and his 12 year old lead husky Togo, together the most legendary partnership in the history of the dogsled. This story has been told a few times, across a few different types of media but its usually told as a children's story. It's really not a children's story. Northern Alaska is a brutal, often frightening place. And in part one we tell the very stupid story of how Nome, Alaska came to be, how Leonhard Seppala arrived there, and how Togo came to be known as the greatest lead dog in history.    Subscribe to our Patreon and get access to our bonus series The Corkboard Bizarre for $5 a month.

082622 Facebook FBI; What Started HIV Truth About Diphtheria History by Kate Dalley

David and Rachel finish Nicole's two-part script by delving into the Serum Run and the legend behind sled dogs Balto and Togo.

A special mashup with our friends from Cool Facts About Animals. Mick tells the tale of the Great Serum Run of 1925 in two parts. When a Diphtheria epidemic threatens the small and far-off town of Nome Alaska, the only hope to get medicine to the sick is dogs. Many help, but two Siberian Huskies named Togo and Balto are most remembered by history. In between part one and part two of the story, the crew from Cool Facts About Animals shares ten interesting facts about sled dogs.

David and Rachel discuss the background of the 1925 diphtheria outbreak in Nome, Alaska. Script by listener Nicole (of course!).

Dr. Carole Keim MD takes listeners through vaccines in today's episode. She explains everything from how vaccines are created to common myths and misconceptions about them. She then details each baby and childhood vaccine, and what disease each prevents.Dr. Keim breaks down how vaccines work and what criteria they must meet in disease to be effective. She explains the four main types of vaccines and lays each vaccination out in a clear manner, covering what age your baby or child will be when they receive the vaccine and how the immune response works. These vaccines are proven to protect your baby against everything from tetanus to mumps to pertussis and more.This episode will cover: How vaccines workCriteria to create a vaccineThe 4 different types of vaccinesCommon myths or misconceptions about vaccinesSpecific vaccines (all routine childhood vaccines)Total number of vaccinesCommon side effects and red flags, how to treat How vaccines work: 00:44The purpose of vaccines is to trigger an immune response faster and with less harm than the original disease.The immune system is a lot like a microscopic team of superheroes, made up of white blood cells, antibodies, the complement system, and a few others.  These superheroes fight villains such as bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.  If they cannot fight them fast enough, the villains will multiply and cause symptoms of disease.  Vaccines give your superhero team information about what the villains look like, so they can recognize them as soon as they enter the body, and fight them off quicker and easier.Vaccine criteria: 01:26In order to make a vaccine, certain conditions must be metIt has to be effective.  We must be able to become immune to the pathogen; diseases like RSV and HFM are ones we can catch multiple times.  Chickenpox is one that you become immune to after catching it once.The pathogen must not be able to mutate faster than the vaccine can be given - we do flu boosters annually because the flu virus mutates about that often.  HIV and common cold mutate too fast for a vaccine to be developed.The vaccine must be cost-effective; it has to be cheaper to prevent the disease than to treat itThere are 4 main types of vaccines: 02:31Inactivated (killed pathogens)Live attenuated (weakened pathogens)Toxoid (a piece of what's inside the pathogen)mRNA vaccines Inactivated vaccines 03:44Most common typeThe bacteria or viruses in the vaccine are killed, so your immune system can safely learn to recognize the pathogen that it is trying to fight off.  These vaccines do not have the potential to cause actual disease.  What they do is cause the immune system superheroes to practice fighting the villains, kind of like practicing on dummies, which may cause mild signs of illness - fever, sore muscles, crankiness, or other symptoms.  Examples: IPV (polio), HPV (human papillomavirus), HiB (Haemophilus influenzae B), pneumococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae), meningococcus (Neisseria meningitidis), and Hepatitis A and B vaccines.Live attenuated vaccines 04:02Made from bacteria or viruses that have been exposed to chemicals that make them weaker than the natural or “wild type” bacteria or virus.  Since these pathogens are not killed completely, your superheroes aren't just practicing on dummies, they are actually fighting the weakened villains.  So it is possible to have symptoms of the disease, but milder.  Some people with weakened immune systems may not be able to fight them off, and can get the actual disease.  People taking steroid medications or immune suppressants, or who have HIV or other immune deficiencies should consult a doctor about whether it is safe to receive these vaccines.  Examples: oral polio vaccine, MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella), Varicella zoster (chickenpox), and rotavirus vaccines.Toxoid vaccines 04:55Made from just part of the pathogen, and protect against the kinds of bacteria that cause symptoms after the toxins inside them are released.  These toxin-carrying bacteria are like villains carrying around a bottle of poison, and the toxoid vaccine gives the superheroes the poison to sample and build up resistance to it.  Example: DTaP (diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis).MRNA vaccines 05:23Newest typemRNA is like a copy of instructions. These give your immune system something like a sewing pattern to print out and make the dummies for your body to fightExample: some COVID vaccinesMyths and misconceptions about vaccines: 05:45Many parents have concerns about vaccinating their children.  It only takes one serious reaction to call into question the safety of vaccines.  And it has been so long since the vaccine-preventable diseases have run rampant that we in the United States don't fully understand the scope of what is being prevented.  Here are some of the top concerns that I have heard from parents, and the truth behind them.Aluminum.  There is aluminum in vaccines, but the amount is far less than babies get from other sources.  The total amount of aluminum that babies get from vaccines in the first 6 months is 4.4mg.  Breastfed babies consume 7mg, formula-fed babies consume 38mg, and babies on soy formula consume 114mg of aluminum in the first 6 months of life.  Consuming aluminum vs. having it injected in a vaccine looks the same to the body, so the tiny amount of aluminum in vaccines will not harm your babyAntigens.  An antigen is any microscopic substance that has the possibility to elicit an immune response.  Babies are exposed to over a trillion antigens in the first year that naturally occur in the environment.  The entire vaccine series that children receive today contains just over 150 antigens.  A young baby's immune system can easily recognize these few antigens and make antibodies to the diseases without getting sick.Autism.  It has been proven that vaccines do NOT cause autism.  The age that children first start showing signs and can be tested for autism is 15-24 months.  This is the same age that children receive booster vaccines, so it is understandable that some parents think they are related. Long-term protection.  Vaccines will protect a person for just as long as if they got the original disease.  So a person who had chickenpox as a child is just as protected from getting it again as a person who has received the chickenpox vaccine.  Some people do not seroconvert (develop antibodies to that disease) - that depends on their immune system and is not a failure of the vaccine itself.Mercury.  There used to be a preservative called thimerosal in vaccines.  That preservative (which contains mercury) has been removed from all vaccines in the US that children receive.  The only vaccine that still contains thimerosal is the adult flu vaccine.Unnatural exposure.  Some people worry that getting exposed to a disease through an injection is not the same as getting it “naturally” by being exposed to a sick person.  This is not true; any disease will get into your bloodstream, which is where it is recognized by the body, and once in there the body has no idea how it got in.  So getting an injection looks exactly the same to your immune system as getting the disease from a sick person.Doctors DO NOT get paid to vaccinate childrenVaccines are NOT a punishment for children who are behaving badlySpecific vaccines: 10:47Hep B - 0, 2, 6 mos.  Hepatitis B is a viral infection that can be passed from mom to baby through the placenta or during delivery.  90% of babies born with HepB will develop chronic infection and are at risk of liver cancer later in life.DTaP - 2, 4, 6, 15 mos, 4 years.  Tdap - age 11, every 10 years.  DTaP has more diphtheria, Tdap has more tetanus. Bacterial infections.  Diphtheria causes severe sore throat and enlarged tonsils, and can block the airway from swelling/tonsils being so enlarged.  Tetanus makes spores that live in soil; any penetrating wound could have tetanus in it (nail/thumbtack, dog or cat bite) and tetanus is not killed by antibiotics so it must be prevented.  Pertussis is whooping cough and causes babies less than a year old to stop breathing.  Everyone who takes care of the baby should be current on their TDaP (within 10 years).  Polio - 2, 4, 6 mos, 4 years.  Polio is a virus that attacks nerves and causes paralysis.  Sometimes it's minor, and sometimes it's the diaphragm that's affected and they stop  breathing.  There is no specific treatment for polio.HiB - 2, 4, 6, 12-18 mos.  HiB (haemophilus influenzae B) bacterial infection that affects children less than 5 years, and especially those under 1 year of age.  It used to cause severe infections like epiglottitis, sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis.  PCV - 2, 4, 6, 12-18 mos.  PCV = pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, pneumococcus is another name for streptococcus pneumonia, which is a kind of strep that gets into the bloodstream and causes sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis.  PCV has 13 strains of strep in it right now.Rotavirus - 2, 4, 6 mos. Viral infection that causes severe diarrhea and dehydration in babies. Hep A - 12 and 18 mos. Hep A is a type of food poisoning, there's no specific treatment.  MMR - 1 and 4 years.  Measles causes high fever, rash, and can cause brain damage, hearing loss, and death.  Mumps causes parotitis (infection of salivary glands), but in boys also causes orchitis (inflammation of testicles) and can lead to sterility.  Rubella is a fever and rash; more dangerous to unborn babies, causes miscarriages and birth defects.VZV - 1 and 4 years.  Varicella Zoster virus (chickenpox) causes cold symptoms, fever, and an itchy and painful rash in children, and shingles in adults.  VZV in pregnancy causes miscarriages and birth defects.MCV - 11 and 16 years.  Meningitis A, C, W, Y are viruses that cause inflammation around the brain that develops quickly and can be fatal.  HPV - 11 years.  Human papilloma virus causes warts and dysplasia and can lead to cancer of the mouth, throat, anus, cervix, and penis.  Currently 9 strains of HPV in the vaccine.  Flu: recommended annually COVID: recommendations are still evolvingVaccines that are available but not given routinely: MenB, PPSV23, Dengue, Typhoid, japanese encephalitis, yellow fever, rabiesTotal numbers of vaccines: 22:351 at birth (Hep B)2 mos: DTaP, polio, HiB, Hep B, PCV, rotavirus - 1 or 2 combo vaccines, PCV and rota = 2 or 3 shots plus an oral vaccine4 mos: DTaP, polio, HiB, PCV, rotavirus - 1 combo plus PCV and rota = 2 shots and one oral6 mos: DTaP, polio, HiB, Hep B, PCV, rotavirus - 1 or 2 combo vaccines, PCV and rota = 2 or 3 shots plus an oral vaccine6+ mos: flu vaccine annually12-18 mos: 2 doses Hep A, 1 of DTaP, HiB, PCV, MMR, VZV.  5-7 shots depending on combos.4-6 years: DTaP, polio, MMR, VZV, typically given as 2 combo vaccines11 years: Tdap, MCV, 2 doses HPV16 years: MCV21+ years: Tdap every 10 years; booster if you have a wound and it's been less than 5 years, booster while pregnant9 shots and 3 oral before 1 year of age, 5-7 shots from age 1-2, 2 shots age 4-6, 4 at age 11, 1 at age 16 = 21-23 total shots before adulthood.  18 flu shots.  Common vaccine reactions: 23:53Birth: nothing; sometimes redness/swelling2-6 mos: redness and swelling (local reaction), can be as much as the entire thigh and still be considered normal.  Low grade fevers.12-18 mos and 4-6 years: muscle soreness, MMR and VZV cause fevers, VZV sometimes causes rash, other vaccines can cause local reactions11yrs: muscle soreness, local reaction with Tdap and MCV, fainting with HPV16 yrs: local reaction from MCVTdap boosters: muscle sorenessFlu, COVID: flu-like symptomsIt is NOT normal to have a body rash or vomiting after vaccines; those are signs of allergyLarge local reactions and muscle soreness can be treated with cool compresses (wet washcloth) and/or acetaminophen or ibuprofen.  Fever or flu-like symptoms: acetaminophen or ibuprofenI DON'T recommend pre-medicating your child before vaccinesIf your child has an adverse reaction to a vaccine, you should report it to VAERS (vaccine adverse event reporting system).  Remember that VAERS is like Yelp for vaccines, so take that about as seriously as you would a Yelp review.All of this information is also in The Baby Manual book, which is available for purchase. Remember it is always okay to call your doctor or emergency services if you have concerns about your baby's health.  Resources discussed in this episode:The Baby Manual - Available on AmazonVAERS--Dr. Carole Keim MD: linktree | tiktok | instagram

Did you know that there are an estimated 5 million human or animal bite wounds occur annually in the United States? Dog bite wounds are the most common, and infections rates can be as high as 50% for cat bite wounds. Today, pediatric resident, Dr. Jack Noel, joins pediatric emergency medicine physician, Dr. Jim Wilde, and pediatric emergency medicine fellow, Dr. Inna Kaminecki, to explore the common management strategies and potential pitfalls to avoid. Specifically, we will be covering the following: 1. Recognize common history and physical exam findings associated with animal and human bites. 2. Be able to recognize important pathogenic bacteria associated with animal and human bites.  3. Understand the initial diagnostic approach to animal and human bites. 4. Initiate appropriate prophylaxis in animal and human bites to prevent tetanus, rabies, and wound infection.  5. Initiate appropriate management of bite wounds.  6. Create an appropriate disposition for patient with bite wounds.

Regardless of your opinion on vaccines, you have likely come across those who feel just as strongly in the opposite direction that you do. April is National Immunization Awareness Week. Here are my thoughts…and I know some of you may differ. That is your right. Whooping Cough, Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Diphtheria and Polio vaccines have been administed for decades and there has been a dramatic decrease in their occurrence especially here in Canada. But due to the pandemic, the need to get vaccinated has come into question by many more and debates are raging. As with any medical procedure, vaccines have some risks. Individuals may react differently to vaccines and when considering immunization, both the risks and the benefits should be discussed with a qualified health care provider…not to the self-proclaimed experts on your social media feed. So Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Immunization Awareness Week: This year's theme is Vaccines Bring Us Closer. Physical distancing over this past year has lead to higher reports of loneliness and mental health issues.   We need to get to a critical point where herd immunity makes it possible to protect those who are vulnerable or who can't be vaccinated such as newborns or those who have compromised immune systems. It is only then that our hospitals will not be overtaxed and we can go back to our social activities. Those activities that protect and bolster our mental health. I long to hug my family, my friends, my speaking colleagues, and my karate family. I believe those days will come and we need to be patient. In the meantime, the best way forward is to do all we can to slow down and eliminate the spread of this virus. Like I said. This is my opinion and it is what I am holding on to.

You might not think a potentially life threatening childhood disease, sled dogs, early vaccination research, and emergency neck surgery have anything in common, but you'd be wrong.  Diphtheria is a legitimately scary illness we no longer see today.  You may have heard about it from your days playing Oregon Trail, but the real story of this illness and the beginning of its demise is fascinating.

COVID-19, pandemic influenza and tuberculosis are examples of the remarkable ability of infections to use the respiratory route of transmission. Infections which use this route can often spread very quickly, especially in crowded indoor environments. Human behaviours and engineering should be seen as much a part of our defences against respiratory infections as drugs and vaccines.A lecture by Professor Sir Chris WhittyThe transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website:https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/respiratory-infectionsGresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597.

Richard welcomes the author of an explosive new book that examines the history of the development of vaccines and the possible connection between aluminum in those vaccines and the onset of the autism epidemic.   GUEST:  After graduating from Wake Forest University with a degree in Religion and Music, Forrest Maready plied his trade in the film industry for several years, working on several Muppet movies, four seasons of Dawson's Creek, and many other films and television shows as an audio engineer, editor, composer, and animator. He transitioned into technology as a designer and developer for visual effects software. Creator of the popular "My Incredible Opinion" and "VaxBaby" video series, he has spent the last few years researching and writing about some of the most enigmatic riddles of science and medicine, notably autism and polio. Forrest has spoken at events and conferences around the country, but prefers to stay close to his writing home in the cab of a 1992 F-150, where many of his manuscripts were composed.  He is the author of The Autism Vaccine; The Story of Modern Medicine's Greatest Tragedy.
