The ECDC has declared January cervical cancer awareness month which we support 100%. We also want encourage local skeptical actions such as speaking up when companies promote nonsense and Pontus gives us an example of how easy it can be, if you just take a few minutes and speak up. We also mention that the planets are lined up in a cool way at the moment, so turn your eyes to the skies!

Per comprendere meglio come facciamo a monitorare la diffusione di nuove malattie infettive siamo stati all'ESCAIDE, la conferenza annuale organizzata dal centro europeo per il controllo delle malattie infettive (ECDC).Attraverso le voci di Caterina Rizzo epidemiologa dell'Università di Pisa, e di Julien Beauté, epidemiologo dell'ECDC capiamo meglio i concetti chiave di surveillance e preparedness.Che lavoro fa l'epidemiologo? A cosa serve monitorare la diffusione dei virus influenzali o dell'HIV? Che ruolo potrebbe avere l'intelligenza artificiale in futuro? Cosa c'entrano l'esercito e la prevenzione delle epidemie?Questo episodio è stato realizzato grazie al supporto dell'ECDC.Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/scientificast--1762253/support.

Epidemie, wojna, uchodźcy. Czego uczy nas kryzys, jak się przygotować na trudne czasy, poza zgromadzeniem papieru toaletowego i makaronu? Eksperci są zgodni: co najmniej tak samo ważne jest zabezpieczenie własnego zdrowia, zwłaszcza przed chorobami zakaźnymi. A jak to wyglądało w przypadku Ukrainy? I czy polski system ochrony zdrowia podołał temu zadaniu? Żeby Wam rzetelnie przedstawić ten temat, poprosiliśmy o komentarze cenionych ekspertów: dr Piotra Kramarza, szefa naukowego Europejskiego Centrum ds. Zapobiegania i Kontroli Chorób (ECDC);prof. Tomasza Sobierajskiego, socjologa i wakcynologa społecznego z Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego. Usłyszycie ich, obok naszych głosów, w tym odcinku naszego podcastu.Zapraszamy do słuchania!Ten podcast jest elementem płatnej współpracy z ECDC.

Att många människor i världen skadas allvarligt i krig vet alla. En minst lika vanlig och allvarlig konsekvens av väpnade konflikter är att smittsamma sjukdomar alltid följer i dess spår. Hur kommer det sig och hur förhindrar man spridning av smittsamma sjukdomar när samhället står under attack? Det svarar Charlotte Deogan på som är expert på ECDC där hon jobbar inom Prevention and Control of Communicable Diseases.

Könssjukdomar ökar kraftigt i hela Europa och utvecklingen är oroande. Det larmar EU:s smittskyddsmyndighet ECDC om, som kommit med nya siffror. Framför allt har gonorré ökat explosionsartat – med nästan 50 procent under 2022 jämfört med året innan. Men både klamydia och syfilis ökar också, och trenden med minskat antal smittade under pandemin har alltså vänt. Hur har det blivit så? Vilka är de vanligaste missuppfattningarna om könssjukdomar och är klassikern "använd kondom" svaret på hur vi stoppar smittan? Gäst: Anne González, läkare vid Stockholms mottagning för sexuell hälsa. Programledare och producent: Julia Fredriksson. Kontakt: podcast@aftonbladet.se.
