Breakthrough treatments for high blood pressure, HIV infection and obesity: they're all available in part because of studies done on animals. And though the Animal Welfare Act has for many years regulated the treatment of lab animals, more than 95% of those used in research today are excluded from its protections. Larry Carbone is a veterinarian who's spent decades caring for animals in research facilities. We talk to him about the value and ethics of animal research and what he thinks needs to change. His new book is “The Hidden Lives of Lab Animals.” Guests: Larry Carbone, laboratory veterinarian; author, "The Hidden Lives of Lab Animals: A Vet's Vision for a More Humane Future" Learn more about your ad choices.

Early last year, a hundred researchers, clinicians and other experts on HIV discussed the development of an innovative vaccine that could prevent the disease. But just as the meeting was about to wrap up, the mood darkened. A new executive order signed by President Trump on Inauguration day had frozen all foreign aid, pending a review. Soon, DOGE would begin its decimation of USAID — and with it, this vaccine trial. That is – until the South African researchers came up with a new plan. Read more of freelance science reporter Ari Daniel's story here.Interested in more on the future of science?

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this President's Day Radar Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan previews major stories unfolding at home and abroad, including troubling new details in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case in Tucson and a notable shift as Minnesota Democrats begin cooperating with ICE after weeks of defiance. Bryan also examines Hillary Clinton's surprising admission that open border policies "went too far," outlines President Trump's plan to build 92,000 new detention beds nationwide, and exposes how emotional media narratives often hide critical facts in high-profile immigration cases. He then turns to fresh revelations about partisan lawfare tied to the Trump investigations, new reporting on Jeffrey Epstein and coded communications, and a rare New York Times warning that America's marijuana experiment may be spiraling out of control. The episode closes with unsettling questions about whether advanced AI systems are beginning to think and react like humans, major signals from Europe that 100% solar and wind energy is failing, and encouraging medical breakthroughs in fibromyalgia treatment and immune health research worldwide.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: February 16 2026 Wright Report, Nancy Guthrie Tucson FBI DNA glove update, Minnesota Democrats cooperate ICE Tim Walz pivot, Hillary Clinton open borders admission Munich, Trump 92000 detention beds plan, Seamus Culleton visa overstay Ireland drug charges, JP Cooney Jack Smith prosecutor runs for Congress, Epstein pizza coded language email dump, New York Times marijuana psychosis warning, AI bot Scott Shambaugh code controversy, Macron Spain blackout solar wind failure, fibromyalgia duloxetine 120 mg study, gut microbiome HIV immune research

I'm joined by Dr. Špela Šalamon, Nuclear Medicine Specialist Physician and biomedical scientist. She has contributed to global efforts in understanding and mitigating the impacts of COVID-19 and published several papers addressing the risks following COVID-19 infections, emphasizing the necessity for proactive health measures. In October of last year, she co-authored and published the AJPM Focus review article, COVID-19 is “Airborne AIDS”: provocative oversimplification, emerging science, or something in between? The review compares and contrasts “observations of the immunological impacts of COVID-19 and HIV infections […] examining shared and distinct mechanisms, such as immune dysfunction, vulnerability to opportunistic infections, accelerated aging and neurocognitive disorders, […] highlight[ing] critical parallels and their implications.” // Episode notes + transcript: https://www.lastborninthewilderness.com/episodes/spela-salamon // Sustain + support: https://www.patreon.com/lastborninthewilderness // Donate: https://www.paypal.me/lastbornpodcast

Students from Harrisonburg City Public Schools staged a walkout in protest of immigration enforcement... A proposed ICE detention facility will not be advancing in Augusta County...

Macca and Kenny talk to Dr Tim Read; – Greens MP, Brunswick, Chair of the Integrity Oversight Committee; from IBAC and public integrity to the voting system, is Victoria lagging behind? Before entering Parliament, Tim was a doctor treating and researching sexually transmitted infections like HIV. Before that, he was a GP. Concerned by recent fires and heatwaves, Tim wanted to push the government to take climate change seriously by urgently replacing coal and gas as Victoria's main energy sources. This is what prompted him to run for Parliament. The priorities Tim has for his community are safer roads for walking and cycling, more green space, and trees to keep us cool in summer. He says that we also need to repair some of our crumbling public schools and build or buy more housing for our homeless. Tim's vision for Victoria's future is that it runs by clean energy by the end of the decade, and cuts carbon emissions from farming, transport and other sectors. The areas of public policy that he is most passionate about are reducing the size of the public housing waiting list and our prison population. He also wants to change the way we let advertisers promote unhealthy products such as junk food, alcohol and gambling.

Hey it's Ron; earlier in the week I'd highlighted some sound legislative offerings from Republican women in the Georgia general assembly that I hoped Democrats would join in on and push across the finish line. There's another, giving pharmacists the ability to prescribe HIV prevention medication, again, penned by a Republican. This is encouraging to see. What's discouraging, of course, is that the same Georgia GOP saw fit earlier in the week to "poison-pill" a bill both parties were enthusiastic about - HB 54 - by adding anti-trans language into it. To discuss some of that refreshing (and rare) bipartisanship - but also the more troubling legislation making its way through this session, is Dr. Michelle Au, representative for Georgia's 50th House District, and host of the new podcast "Georgia Diagnosis."Rev. Senator Raphael Warnock added an amendment to DHS funding in an attempt end DHS/ICE purchasing warehouses in Oakwood and Social Circle, GA, two small communities sure to be overwhelmed by facilities their infrastructure cannot handle; the kind of treatment op/ed writer Patricia Murphy called 'unconscionable.' Then I got my mental wellness break with comedian / political satirist Sterling Thrill. Between 'Bad Bunny' triggering Megyn Kelly & Pam Bondi going full "Karen" with her flash cards, we had plenty to chuckle about - and did. Lastly, an op/ed I saw from Mariah Parker & Dominique Grant at Fair Play ATL reminded us all that Atlanta's Olympic legacy isn't just tarnished by a bombing, but a lack of positive impact - and its negative impacts on housing affordability. It's their push to insist that Atlanta hosting eight FIFA World Cup matches in 2026 invests its windfall in positive change and a lack of ICE in the city's streets.

No episódio de hoje, o querido Dr. Ricardo Kores vem nos ensinar sobre a PrEP para HIV, um tema que nós, ginecologistas, deveríamos dominar a fundo, pois falamos de sexualidade no dia a dia.

It's a party weekend! Judson prepares for a friend's bachelor party in Chicago, and Brian prepares to celebrate his husband's birthday on the Saturday, and his younger daughter's on the Sunday. They attend screenings on consecutive nights of the new movie, Pillion, starring Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling, and compare notes with one another for the first time since. Together, Brian and Judson take a seat on The Big C*nty Couch with drag queen Gina Spears and her longtime friend Mike Fails. Our recent episode on Deshaming Sluttiness inspires a listener to submit a Hookup of the Week about his competition with a friend to see who can fill the pages of their little black books faster. Brian and Judson are then joined by star of stage and screen Jason Veasey, currently co-starring in the new comedy-drama, “Best Medicine,” on Fox and Hulu. Jason talks about the joy of being on the sets of both his current show and “Only Murders in the Building,” his desire to represent gay men our age on screen as sexual beings, and the need for more depictions of queer Black-on-Black love and sex in TV and film. He also gets personal and chats with Brian and Judson about sexual comfort levels, the value he places on sex in his relationship, being in a long-term relationship without living together, reclaiming his sexuality after his HIV diagnosis, sharing the news of his diagnosis with his family, and what it took for him to realize that he's versatile in bed. Jason then helps Brian and Judson address a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who wants to know how he should conduct himself around his grade school-age niblings when the MAGA members of his husband's extended family feel that kids shouldn't know that gay people exist.

Just three months after Magic Johnson retired from basketball due to his HIV diagnosis, he made a triumphant return on 9th February, 1992 - at the NBA All-Star Game in Orlando, Florida. The sports world was divided—some players, like Michael Jordan, welcomed him back, while others, like Karl Malone, were hesitant, voicing concerns about physical contact on the court. But when Johnson stepped out, fans and fellow players alike cheered him on, and Johnson racked up 25 points, dished out nine assists, and lead the West to a dominant 153-113 victory over the East, becoming named Most Valuable Player. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discover how Johnson became the face of basketball's golden era; explain why misunderstandings and ignorance about HIV was so widespread; and uncover the career Johnson built beyond basketball...

She describes the structure of an ECHO session, emphasizing community learning through case presentations and short "knowledge bursts." The conversation shifts to the evolution of autism understanding, noting increased prevalence largely due to improved screening, better diagnostic criteria, and broader awareness, while also addressing misinformation, the complexity of autism, and the lack of definitive causes. Dr. Sohl stresses the importance of trust with families, evidence‑based care, and caution with unsupported treatments. She concludes with three priorities for improving outcomes: better supports for people with profound autism, greater societal appreciation of autistic strengths, and stronger disability training in healthcare education, advocating for equitable, human‑centered care for all.

In this episode of Communicable, Navaneeth Narayanan and Josh Nosanchuk invite Virginie Lemiale and Elie Azoulay (Paris, France) as well as fellow editor Emily McDonald (Montreal, Canada)—this time as guest—to discuss adjunctive steroid therapy for pneumocystis pneumonia (PCP) in HIV-negative individuals. In 2025, Lemiale and Azoulay published results from their double-blind, randomised controlled trial investigating steroid treatment for severe Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PIC trial) in the Lancet Respiratory Medicine [1]. At first glance, one might dismiss the study's clinical impact due the ‘negative' result of  the primary outcome, mortality at 28 days, which just missed a statistically significant difference between groups. There was a clinical difference, however, and all other outcomes, including 90-day mortality, were significantly different between groups. Understanding how pivotal these results were to clinical practice, McDonald and colleagues sought to contextualise the results of the PIC trial through a Bayesian analysis in a follow-up publication [2]. While the discussion provides useful clinical commentary, it also helps both to demystify Bayesian analysis and to call attention to what might be lost with strict or overly concrete interpretations of traditional frequentist analyses. This episode was peer reviewed by Arjana Zerja from the Mother Theresa University Hospital Center, Tirana, Albania.ReferencesLemiale V, et al.

I call it the "Frankenstein procedure"!  There's a company that is processing dead people's fat and selling it to plastic surgeons who will inject it into your face or buttocks...or anywhere.  Wow.  This raises a lot of questions.  First - the ethics.  You or your family donates your organs, expecting that your kidneys, liver, heart, and lungs will help another person live a normal life.  But do you expect that your fat will be harvested and used for cosmetic reasons?  And do you expect that the fat will enrich the finances of the company that sells it and the plastic surgeons who inject it?  I'll be not.  And then there's the question of safety - the company can be certain the "donor" didn't have HIV or hepatitis, but they can never be certain the person didn't harbor Mad Cow Disease (Creutzfeld-Jacob disease in humans - same "prion", different animal).  And then there's the "repulsion factor" - do you really want someone's dead fat injected into your body?  Listen in to Dr. Perry's interview on the Mark Simone show - replayed here - to learn more.

Dr. Aaron Zelikovich discusses recent survey findings highlighting the wide variability in how clinicians evaluate and diagnose small fiber neuropathy. Fill out the Neurology® Clinical Practice Current survey.  Show citation:  Thawani S, Chan M, Ostendorf T, et al. How Well do We Evaluate Small Fiber Neuropathy?: A Survey of American Academy of Neurology Members. J Clin Neuromuscul Dis. 2025;26(4):184-195. Published 2025 Jun 2. doi:10.1097/CND.0000000000000502  Show transcript:  Dr. Aaron Zelikovich: Welcome to today's Neurology Minute. My name is Aaron Zelikovich, a neuromuscular specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. Today, we will discuss a recent article, How Well Do We Evaluate Small Fiber Neuropathy? A survey of The American Academy of Neurology members, which evaluates small fiber neuropathy in clinical practice. The current landscape of evaluating and testing for small fiber neuropathy remains highly variable in regards to serum testing, skin biopsy, and nerve conduction studies. In this survey study, 800 members of The American Academy of Neurology were randomly selected and emailed a survey. 400 neuromuscular physicians and 400 non-neuromuscular physicians were selected. The overall response rate was 30% with half of the completed surveys coming from neuromuscular physicians. The most common overall initial blood work for this patient population was a CBC, vitamin B12, basic metabolic profile, TSH, and hemoglobin A1C. Other high yield blood tests included ESR, SPEP, immunofixation, and ANA. 70% of responders would also order a nerve conduction study as part of the initial workup. Second line evaluation had less consensus and included skin biopsies for intraepidermal nerve fiber density, hepatitis panel, HIV, and paraneoplastic testing. Responders noted that if the patient had acute onset of symptoms, had symptoms that were asymmetric, or being under 30 years old, they would order a more extensive workup. The authors discussed the importance of both clinical exam, history, and diagnostic workup in patients with symptoms compatible with small fiber neuropathy. They highlight that there is no current objective gold standard for a diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy. The current diagnostic recommendation by the AAN for distal symmetric polyneuropathy includes serum blood sampling for glucose, vitamin B12, SPEP, and immunofixation. Clinical practice in the diagnosis of small fiber neuropathy remains highly variable based on the provider and clinical context of the patient. Neurology Practice Current is currently accepting surveys on clinical practice patterns for patients with small fiber neuropathy. Please check out the link in today's Neurology Minute to complete the survey. Thank you and have a wonderful day. 

President Trump signed a $1.2 trillion bill to end the government shutdown. The funding for DHS lasts for 14 days as Democrats continue with a bunch of outrageous demands. Bill and Hillary Clinton will testify before Congress, which will be made available to the public. Congressman Chip Roy has been fighting to safeguard our elections since 2024, now his more robust Save America Act is a new and improved version of the widely supported SAVE Act. The bill adds a Voter ID requirement for voting in federal elections while maintaining the original bill's proof-of-citizenship requirement for voter registration. It will be up to Senate Leader Thune to bring this to the Senate floor and create a verbal filibuster. This will be where Democrats have to take the floor and explain to the American people why having and ID to vote and proof of US citizenship to vote is a bad idea. CNN has already blown the lid off of this argument as roughly 80% of Americans agree that voter ID should be required. Of all places, Texas is ground zero for an uprising of Islam and a stronghold of the Muslim brotherhood. Congressman Roy looks to places like London and Paris, which have been overrun by Muslims as a warning to what will happen in America. A bio-lab in Las Vegas ran by Chinese nationals was raided recently. Inside the lab they found blood, tissue and other bodily fluid samples and serums; and thousands of vials of unlabeled fluids and suspected biological material. Investigators also found "pathogen-labeled containers” with labels such as “dengue fever,” “HIV,” and “malaria,” the report said, along with 1,000 mice. Congressman Chip Roy unpacks the Save America act and the future of our elections and our country. Featuring: Rep.

In the U.S., there are about 100,000 monkeys, baboons, and other primates living in captivity to support scientific research. About 5,000 of them are at OHSU’s Oregon National Primate Research Center. That’s where researchers do experiments on monkeys to try to get clear data about things like cannabis use during pregnancy, and to find cures for diseases like HIV. Animal rights activists have argued for decades that the center should be closed. And they’re gaining momentum with support from Oregon’s governor and some lawmakers. In addition, scientists who oppose using animals in research argue that the practice has become obsolete and is hindering, not helping the effort to find cures.    Today, we’re bringing back our episode about the Oregon National Primate Research Center because just a few weeks ago in January, OHSU’s board of directors had a meeting to hear about what it would take to close the center or significantly reduce the size of its primate population.    OPB health reporter Amelia Templeton shares what she learned from a visit to the Oregon National Primate Research Center and conversations with a lot of smart people on all sides of this complex topic.    Don’t forget to check out our many podcasts, which can be found on any of your favorite podcast apps: Hush Timber Wars Season 2: Salmon Wars Politics Now Think Out Loud And many more!
