Join us for Part 2 of the powerful discussion we started at the end of last season (Season 4, Episode 6), with our 2 experts on caring for people experiencing houselessness, James O'Connell, MD, MACP (Boston Healthcare for the Homeless) and Rachel Solotaroff, MD, FACP (Central City Concern- Portland, Oregon). From the HIV epidemic to the rise of multi-drug resistant TB and the opioid crisis, those caring for people experiencing houselessness and housing insecurity saw the rise of each of these epidemics in their patient populations long before the rest of us.  The devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was particularly harsh for those in shelters or unhoused. Some say that caring for those experiencing houselessness reveals the fractures in our healthcare system earlier and more clearly than healthcare in other settings.  In our discussion, Drs. O'Connell and Solotaroff describe some of the obstacles faced by these patients and their healthcare providers in obtaining/delivering healthcare, and some of the opportunities to learn from and address these challenges.Learning Objectives:Identify challenges and lessons for both clinical teams and people experiencing houselessness in providing and accessing healthcare.Describe different models of housing support and healthcare delivery for which clinicians can advocate in order to support those experiencing and emerging out of houselessness, and to ultimately reach the goal of ending houselessness.Discuss some of the challenges facing houseless individuals who are seriously ill and/or at end-of-life, and facing those who are providing their end-of-life healthcare.Episode Credits:Guests: Dr. James O'Connell, Dr. Rachel SolotaroffCo-Hosts: Dr. Marianne Parshley, Dr. Elisa ChoiExecutive Producer: Dr. Tammy LinCo-Executive Producers: Dr. Pooja Jaeel, Dr. Tiffany LeungSenior Producers: Dr. Maggie Kozman, Dr. DJ GainesEditor/Assistant Producer: Clara BaekProduction Assistants: Nilgoun Farhadi, Leyna NguyenWebsite/Art Design: Ann TruongMusic: Chris Dingman https://www.chrisdingman.comTwitter: @thedeishiftInstagram: @thedeishiftWebsite: https://www.thedeishift.comEmail: thedeishift@gmail.comContinuing Medical Education/Maintenance of Certification (CME/MOC) credits are available as an American College of Physicians national member benefit.

How can you find the right doctor? What should you ask during your appointment? How can you pleasurably and safely explore anal play? What is unique about sexual health within the gay and queer community? And what is a butt clock?Erectile dysfunction, STIs, vaccinations, and safe anal play are important conversations for men – particularly queer men – to have with their doctor's and partners. However sometimes the most important conversations are also the most difficult ones. In this episode, Effy and Jacqueline celebrate Pride and Men's Health Month by speaking with the “butt stuff” doctor, Mayo Clinic trained gastroenterologist, Doctor Carlton.With 3 million likes and over 200,000 followers on TikTok, Doctor Carlton shares his expertise on men's sexual health and pleasure, tips for tops and bottoms, and sex advice for every body and orientation.To learn more about Dr. CarltonDoctor Carlton is a Mayo Clinic trained gastroenterologist in San Diego, California who you have probably seen on Tik Tok or Instagram talking about Butt Stuff tips and LGBTQ health. He has been featured on Mashable and in Instinct Magazine and even recently headlined Austin Kink Weekend in Texas. Who better to learn butt stuff from than a doctor who knows all the science and a gay man who has had PLENTY of real life experience with it!

Gender inequality can lead to women and girl's having lower income and educational attainment and decreased autonomy and political power. Bridget Kelly, Director of Research for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights at the Population Institute, sits down to talk with us about the report Connecting the Dots: Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights as Prerequisites for Global Gender Equality and Empowerment and how the empowerment and advancement of the rights of women and girls is explicitly tied to sexual and reproductive health and rights.According to Fòs Feminista, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) refers to comprehensive family planning and contraceptive services (including emergency contraception, maternal health, prevention and treatment of infertility, safe abortion and post-abortion care, prevention, care, and treatment, of STIs, HIV, and AIDS (and reproductive health cancers and infections) and the prevention and treatment of gender-based violence (including the elimination of harmful practices like female genital mutilation and cutting and child, early, and forced marriage). All of these elements must be met in order for comprehensive sexual and reproductive healthcare to be fully realized and for gender equality to be advanced worldwide.The empowerment and advancement of rights of women and girls is an agreed upon global sustainable development goal, and, as the largest funder and implementer of worldwide global health assistance the U.S. plays an incredibly important role in advancing these outcomes. Still, U.S. policymakers often fail to recognize that this goal is impacted by the accessibility of comprehensive SRHR. U.S. support for various components of the SRHR agenda flows through multiple budget and appropriation channels, making it difficult to pinpoint the exact current expenditure for SRHR. But, examining funding levels for the current family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) funding program shows that there should be a commitment of $1.74 billion to international family planning and reproductive health programming, including $116 million to the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA).FP/RH programming, for the last 13 years, has been flat funded at $608 million. The Biden administration's budget request, released in mid-March of 2023, shows an increase to roughly $657.5 million. While the current administration recognizes the need for FP/RH funding, it isn't enough to meet the need. Unfortunately, there was not a request to pull back the Helms amendment, which dictates that U.S. government foreign assistance funds cannot be used for “the performance of abortion as a method of family planning.”  LinksConnecting the Dots: Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights as Prerequisites for Global Gender Equality and EmpowermentSupport the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Dr Chris Smith and the Naked Scientist team present the latest science news, analysis and breakthroughs. This week: How doctors in the US have “cured” a woman with HIV. Does Venus have volcanoes? Re-examining 30 year old probe footage has got scientists wondering. Plus we look at the value of national parks to our wellbeing, and the new project to make it easier to recharge not just your mental batteries but also your electric car in remote parts of the country.

Today, when we hear the word pandemic, most people think of COVID-19. But by 2003, while rates of HIV infections and deaths from AIDS had stabilized and fallen in the US, in sub-Saharan Africa, the rates were at epidemic proportions.In his State of the Union address that January, President George W. Bush announced a massive investment in the global fight against HIV –The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, or PEPFAR. In the twenty years since, the program has dedicated billions of dollars to HIV prevention and treatment across Africa and other regions, saving tens of millions of lives.NPR's Pien Huang speaks with Ambassador Dr. John Nkengasong, the U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, and Dr. Helene Gayle, an epidemiologist and president of Spelman College, who spent 20 years at the CDC focused on HIV treatment and prevention and global healthcare.

At Long Last, More Regulations For Forever Chemicals This week, the EPA proposed the first national standards for drinking water that would set limits on the amount of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) chemicals that would be allowed in water systems. There are thousands of different PFAS chemicals, which are often used industrially for properties such as heat, water and stain resistance—from fire-fighting foams to coatings on clothing and paper plates. They have come to be known as “forever chemicals” as they are extremely slow to break down in the environment. The chemicals have been linked to health problems, including cancer. Katherine Wu, staff writer for The Atlantic, joins Ira to talk about the proposed regulations and how such a sweeping rule might be implemented nationwide. Wu also discusses her latest article on COVID-19 origins, and genetic analysis that could tie the pandemic back to raccoon dogs in the Wuhan market. They also talk about other news from the week in science, including research hinting at active volcanoes on Venus, a study of the effects of COVID-19 on maternal health during pregnancy, and research into curing HIV with stem cells from cord blood. Plus an explosion of seaweed, and the unveiling of a new space suit design.   How AI Is Changing The Drug Development Pipeline Researching and developing new drugs is a notoriously long and expensive process, filled with a lot of trial and error. Before a new drug gets approved scientists must come up with something they think might work in the lab, test it in animals, and then if it passes those hurdles, clinical trials in humans. In an effort to smooth out some of the bumps along the road, a growing number of pharma companies are turning to new artificial intelligence tools in the hopes of making the process cheaper and faster. Ira talks with Will Douglas Heaven, senior editor for AI at MIT Technology Review about his reporting on the topic.    An Ambitious Plan To Build Back Louisiana's Coast Louisiana will receive more than $2 billion to pay for an ambitious, first-of-its-kind plan to reconnect the Mississippi River to the degraded marshes on Plaquemines Parish's west bank. A collective of federal and state agencies—the Louisiana Trustees Implementation Group—signed off on the multibillion-dollar Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion on Wednesday. The funding will come out of settlement dollars resulting from the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Once constructed, the two-mile-long sediment diversion is expected to build up to 27 square miles of new land by 2050. In the next 50 years, as Louisiana's coast continues to sink and global sea levels rise, the diversion is also projected to sustain one-fifth of the remaining land. “The Trustees believe that a sediment diversion is the only way to achieve a self-sustaining marsh ecosystem in the Barataria Basin,” wrote the implementation group in its decision.

In fact, every cell in the human body contains this important element. It's also a key component in fertilizer. But not all of that fertilizer stays on crops—much of that phosphorus flows into waterways. Therein lies the rub: the runoff fertilizes the plant life growing in the water, creating toxic algal blooms. To top it all off, the phosphorus reserves in the United States are on track to disappear in just a few decades, according to some estimates.  Ira talks about the past, present, and future of phosphorus with Dan Egan, journalist in residence at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's School of Freshwater Sciences, and author of the new book, The Devil's Element: Phosphorus and A World out of Balance.

In Tennessee, a fight has been brewing over another public health issue. Gov. Bill Lee rejected more than $8 million in federal funding for HIV prevention. It comes as several Republican-led states have moved to restrict the rights of LGBTQ people. White House Correspondent Laura Barrón-López visited Memphis where advocates have sounded the alarm about the looming impact of those efforts.

“As men, it's often our terminal uniqueness that we think we're the only one struggling with ‘x' and so we're not going to bother or burden anyone else with this thing because it's so minuscule. Yet it's actually so powerful in ways that it can derail us.” - Sean Harvey Ever Forward Club's Ashanti Branch is joined by Sean Harvey. The Chief Compassion Officer of Warrior Compassion Men's Studio, Sean is also a TEDx Speaker, Author, and Interfaith Minister whose book, “Warrior Compassion: A Man's Quest for Deeper Connection”, offers a roadmap for men's healing as a catalyst for systems change and will be released in September 2023. Sean charges head first into some of the toughest environments, leading with love. He's worked to transform the culture of law enforcement, and he's brought his compassion-centered approach to right-wing militia groups and White nationalist groups. Today, he takes off his mask to share how he grew into an unwavering emotional foundation that can do this work effectively. (2:15) Ashanti's introduction. (7:15) Sean introduces himself, how he found his spiritual calling to men's work, and how he started reforming the hearts and minds of the police force and white nationalists. (15:20) Sean shares the back of his mask - vision (strategic), journey (inspiration), intelligence (connects the dots). (17:20) Ashanti shares the front of his mask - funny, serious, caring - and relates to Sean's mask. (22:50) Sean shares the back of his mask - addiction, HIV status (internalized homophobia), deep loneliness (not belonging), body shame. (24:20) Ashanti shares the back of his mask - fear, worry, body shame - and tells the story of his relationship with body shame. Then, Sean does the same. (34:50) Ashanti relates Sean's story and his work to working with middle school boys. (44:50) Sean and Ashanti take a look at “men's work” and why it is in a place of reckoning. (50:05) Sean then explains what it means to “surrender into the unknown.” (54:40) Sean and Ashanti consider “the mask of love.” If love wore a mask, what would be on the front of it and behind it? (1:02:05) Sean tells the story of how he reconnected with his father years after telling him he was gay.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Shallow Investigation: Stillbirths, published by Joseph Pusey on March 13, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. This topic has the potential to be deeply upsetting to those reading it, particularly to those who have personal experience of the topic in question. If you feel that I've missed or misunderstood something, or could have phrased things more sensitively, please reach out to me. Throughout the review, words like “woman” or “mother” are used in places where some people might prefer “birthing person” or similar. This choice reflects the language used in the available literature and does not constitute a position on what the most appropriate terminology is. This report is a shallow dive into stillbirths, a sub-area within maternal and neonatal health, and was produced as part of the Cause Innovation Bootcamp. The report, which reflects approximately 40-50 hours of research, offers a brief dive into whether a particular problem area is a promising area for either funders or founders to be working in. Being a shallow report, it should be used to decide whether or not more research and work into a particular problem area should be prioritised. Executive Summary Importance: This problem is likely very important (epistemic status-strong)- stillbirths are widespread, concentrated in the world's poorest countries, and decreasing only very slowly compared to the decline in maternal and infant mortality. There are more deaths resulting from stillbirth than those caused by HIV and malaria combined (depending on your personal definition of death- see below), and even in high-income countries stillbirths outnumber infant deaths. Tractability: This problem is likely moderately tractable (moderate)- most stillbirths are likely to be preventable, but the most impactful interventions are complex, facility-based, expensive, and most effective at scale e.g. guaranteeing access to high-quality emergency obstetric care Neglectedness: This problem is unlikely to be neglected (less strong)- although still under-researched and under-counted, stillbirths are the target of some of the largest organisations in the global health and development world, including the WHO, UNICEF, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and the Lancet. Many countries have committed to the Every Newborn Action Plan, which aims- amongst other things- to reduce the frequency of stillbirths. Key uncertainties Key uncertainty 1: Accurately assessing the impact of stillbirths, and therefore the cost-effectiveness of interventions aimed at reducing stillbirths, depends significantly on to what extent direct costs to the unborn child are counted. Some organisations view stillbirths as having negative effects on the parents and wider communities but do not count the potential years of life lost by the unborn child; others use time-discounting methods to calculate a hypothetical number of expected QALYS lost, and still others see it as completely equivalent to losing an averagely-long life. Differences in the weighting of this loss can alter the calculated impacts of stillbirth by several orders of magnitude and is likely the most important consideration when considering a stillbirth-reducing intervention Key uncertainty 2: Interventions which reduce the risk of stillbirth tend to be those which also address maternal and neonatal health more broadly; therefore, it is very difficult to accurately assess the cost-effectiveness of these interventions solely in terms of their impact on stillbirths, and more complex models which take into account the impacts on maternal, neonatal, and infant health are likely more accurate in assessing the overall cost-effectiveness of interventions. Key uncertainty 3: A large proportion of the data around interventions to reduce stillbirths comes from high-income countries, but most still...

Is Eating Fish Healthy For Humans? Milton Mills, MD • https://www.preventionofdisease.org/milton-mills #MiltonMills  #DiseasePrevention  #Vegan Milton Mills, MD practices urgent care medicine in the Washington DC area, and has served previously as Associate Director of Preventive Medicine and as a member of the National Advisory Board, for Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM).  He has been a major contributor to position papers presented by PCRM to the United States Department of Agriculture regarding Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and has been the lead plaintiff in PCRM's class action lawsuit that asks for warning labels on milk. Dr. Mills earned his medical degree at Stanford University School of Medicine, and completed an Internal Medicine residency at Georgetown University Hospital.  He has published several research journal articles dealing with racial bias in federal nutrition policy. He frequently donates his time via practicing at free medical clinics, and travels widely, speaking at hospitals, churches and community centers throughout the country.  He was featured in the recent attention-getting film “What the Health,” and will also appear in the upcoming film “The Silent Vegan.” A major focus of Dr. Mills' patient advisement as well as his lecturing, is the use of nutritional measures to reduce the risk of major chronic diseases. He notes that the scientific research literature shows plant-based diets as supporting better overall immune system function, and during work with HIV-positive and AIDS patients at clinics, he's observed that those who go vegetarian seem to improve, with increased energy and higher T-cell counts.  He therefore hopes throughout the future to examine further the relationships between diet and immune functionality, particularly the effects of plant-based eating choices upon outcomes forHIV-positive patients. To Contact Dr. Milton Mills go to https://www.preventionofdisease.org/milton-mills Disclaimer:Medical and Health information changes constantly.

More than MarketingInsights into AHF's communication and events wingGUEST BIO:Kevin Makdivichit is the Director of Marketing for AHF in the United States. Ebonni Chrispin is the Director of Legislative Affairs and Community Engagement for AHF.Max Alvarez is AHF's Director of Events and Community Engagement. CORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[2:18] - AHF as Event HostWhy AHF is taking an active role in in-person eventsInternational Condom Day. World AIDS Day. Marches, protests, and more. AHF is more active in life, in-person events than ever.Why? Because it's important for people to engage. They say that birds flock, fish school, and people tribe. AHF is committed to using our tribe mentality to connect on potentially sticky subjects like STIs, AIDs, and safe sex. When we gather to openly discuss these issues in public, we remove the power of silence to keep us complacent and uncomfortable and we make these topics something that can be addressed openly and effectively.[4:56] - Starting with Greatest NeedHow AHF chooses events and locationsHow does AHF choose which events to host or participate in? It all starts with statistics. For example, the efforts surrounding International Condom Day centered around data about where STI rates were off the charts. All planning focused on using those numbers to go where public conversation and education was most needed. [7:10] - The Next Phase: Finding PartnersEbonni shares the importance of partnerships for eventsAHF isn't an island. In every event, Ebonni stresses the importance of considering small nonprofits, community leaders, and even local, statewide, and federal elected officials to become potential partners. In order for people to become advocates, they need to have a reason to believe in the cause. That starts with bringing them onboard and making people and organizations of all sizes and backgrounds feel that they're a part of something historically significant and vital.[14:57] - Keeping Events FreeWhy AHF makes their events free to the publicKevin relates how the “why” of AHF's free events is more important than the “how.” Every event, show, protest, and gathering is all about a specific cause or message. It's about getting more people in seats so they have the opportunity to learn something. The fewer barriers there are to people attending, the more opportunities there are for that learning and transformation to take place.RESOURCES:[2:18] About International Condom Day[2:18] About World AIDS Day[20:20] AHF EventsFOLLOW:Follow Lauren Hogan: LinkedInFollow AHFter Hours: InstagramABOUT AFTER HOURS:AIDS Healthcare Foundation is the world's largest HIV/AIDS service organization, operating in 45 countries globally.

As deaths from drug overdoses and drug‐​related diseases continue increasing, policymakers in cities across the United States have become more willing to consider implementing overdose prevention centers (OPCs) as the next step toward a more effective harm reduction strategy. For more than 30 years, OPCs have prevented overdose deaths, HIV and hepatitis, and other diseases and helped people with substance use disorder find treatment. OPCs, also known as safe consumption sites or drug consumption rooms, began in Europe in the mid‐​1980s. Governments and harm reduction organizations now operate OPCs in 16 developed countries, including many European countries, Canada, Mexico, and Australia. Unfortunately, a federal law that prosecutors and harm reduction opponents call the “crack house” statute makes them illegal in the United States. Yet New York City sanctions two such facilities in defiance of federal law.Joining us to discuss the worldwide experience with OPCs, and to share data and experiences at sanctioned OPCs in North America, are Chelsea Boyd, research fellow in the R Street Institute's integrated harm reduction program; Darwin Fisher, Senior Program Manager at PHS Community Services Society in Vancouver, British Columbia, and manager of Insite, North America's oldest sanctioned overdose prevention center; and Kailin See, Senior Director of Programs for OnPoint NYC and program and development lead for New York City's two sanctioned overdose prevention centers, the first approved OPCs in the United States. Cato Institute senior fellow Jeffrey A. Singer will moderate the discussion. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The question of the SARS-CoV-2 origin: whether it was a zoonotic spillover from a wet market, or an engineered virus that escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, is seemingly a debate that will never go away. Most interestingly, while scientists with specific domain expertise seem to be building a consensus towards the former, public opinion appears to be trending towards the latter. This delta between expert and popular opinion has been helped along by the frothy discourse in mainstream and social media, with most figures that we cover in this podcast dead-set certain that it came from a lab. Most recently, Sam Harris hosted on his Making Sense podcast the molecular biologist Alina Chan and. science writer Matt Ridley, spokespersons for the lab leak case, and authors of "Viral: The Search for the Origin of COVID-19". To a layperson, and certainly to Sam, they put forward a rather watertight case. Intrinsic to the arguments advanced were the ideas that (a) experts in the area were refusing to engage with and unable to answer their arguments, and (b) a strong implication that there is a conspiracy of silence among virologists not just in China but internationally, to suppress the lab leak hypothesis.So, as a case study in the public understanding of science, it seems like a pretty pickle indeed. To help unravel the pickle(?) in this somewhat special episode, we are joined by three virologists who are amply qualified to address the topic; both in terms of the evidence and whether they are involved in a conspiracy of silence.Kristian Andersen is a Professor in the Department of Immunology and Microbiology at Scripps Research. He focuses on the relationship between host and pathogen, using sequencing, fieldwork, experimentation, and computational biology methods. He has spearheaded large international collaborations investigating the emergence, spread and evolution of deadly pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, Zika virus, Ebola virus, West Nile virus, and Lassa virus.Prof Michael Worobey, is the head of the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Arizona. His work focuses on the genomes of viruses, using molecular and computational biology, to understand the origins, emergence and control of pandemics. Recently, his interdisciplinary work on SARS-CoV-2 has shed light on how and when the virus originated and ignited the COVID-19 pandemic in China and how SARS-CoV-2 emerged and took hold in North America and Europe.Prof Edward "Eddie" Holmes, is an NHMRC Leadership Fellow & Professor of Virology at the Faculty of Medicine and Health at Sydney University, a member of the Sydney Institute for Infectious Diseases, a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science and a Fellow of The Royal Society. He is known for his work on the evolution and emergence of infectious diseases, particularly the mechanisms by which RNA viruses jump species boundaries to emerge in humans and other animals. He has studied the emergence and spread of such pathogens as SARS-CoV-2, influenza virus, dengue virus, HIV, hepatitis C virus, myxoma virus, RHDV and Yersinia pestis.All three researchers have specialist expertise and decades of experience directly applicable to tracking viruses and their adaption to humans, and, fair to say, are fairly eminent in their fields (Eddie in particular!). Further, they are among the relatively small set of researchers collecting and analysing primary evidence on the origins of SARS-CoV-2, communicating their findings in top-ranked journals, including Nature and Science. In this episode, Chris and Matt put to this trio of Professors the claims rasied by lab leak advocates to see what these (damn conspirators) experts have to say for themselves.LinksSam Harris Making Sense

Dr. Deus Lukoye, an epidemiologist at CDC who is currently based in Uganda, and Sarah Gregory discuss tuberculosis preventive therapy among people living with HIV in Uganda.

In the past few decades, we have witnessed the rise and consolidation of “evidence-based medicine” among health professionals. This refers to a systematic approach to medicine in which doctors and other health care professionals use the best available scientific evidence from clinical research to help make decisions about the care of individual patients. But the COVID-19 pandemic has managed to transform what constitutes reliable medical evidence into a topic of public concern and debate. These debates have taken place within and beyond the medical establishment, such as in news reports and social media posts. And suddenly everyone began offering an opinion on the efficacy of measures such as quarantines, lock downs, school closures, and mandatory face masks. How then should we understand “evidence”? Does evidence mean the same thing in different contexts and constituencies? In their new book, Rethinking Evidence in the Time of Pandemics: Scientific Vs Narrative Rationality, and Medical Knowledge Practices, Eivind Engebretsen and Mona Baker argue that we ought to adopt a more nuanced and socially responsive approach to medical expertise that incorporates scientific and lay processes of making sense of the world and how we decide to act in it. Using the narrative framework, they offer a model of analysis that sheds greater light on why different people arrive at different decisions based on the same sources of evidence and why we must acknowledge their reasons for doing so as rooted in different types of rationality rather than dismissing them as irrational. Eivind Engebretsen is a Professor at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Oslo, where he is also the Executive Chairman of the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare Education.Mona Baker is Director of the Baker Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies at Shanghai International Studies University. She is also affiliated with the Centre for Sustainable Healthcare Education at the University of Oslo. Host:Professor Dan Banik, University of Oslo, Twitter: @danbanik  @GlobalDevPodApple Google Spotify YouTubehttps://in-pursuit-of-development.simplecast.com/

The Screw returns with a new series discussing the practical realities of HIV. It's a disease with a complicated history of obfuscation and misinformation, so Felicia Rose and ALove want to investigate how people with HIV live their lives and how they want or need to interact with the world around them. In this first dip into the topic, our hosts cover their personal histories with it, how people of all statuses are bad at safer sex and clear up some of the most obvious misconceptions about HIV. This episode marks a programming change. Going forward, the Screw will be a bi-weekly show that comes out in three-episode blocks. A first impressions episode, an episode where Felica and Aaron present the homework they've done on the topic and the roundtable episode where guests share their perspectives.

Episode 131: Breastfeeding Part 2Lia and Aruna explain some updates given by the American Academy of Pediatrics regarding breastfeeding. Dr. Arreaza adds some comments about breastfeeding. Written by Aruna Sridharan, MS4, and Lia Khachikyan, MS4, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.The motivation for this episode was a recent publication by the American Academy of Pediatrics, on June 27, 2022, titled Policy Statement: Breastfeeding and the Use of Human Milk. During this episode, we included updated information along with other useful material.Duration of breastfeeding:The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), World Health Organization (WHO), and Center of Disease Control (CDC) recommend exclusive breastfeeding at least for the first 6 months, after which one can start to introduce complementary pureed foods. The US Department of Agriculture states that initiating complementary foods earlier than 6 months offers no benefit to the baby and can even be associated with a higher risk of overweight or obesity, especially if introduced before 4 months. Mothers are then encouraged to continue breastfeeding for at least one year and can further continue up to 2 years of age or longer - as long as mutually desired by mother and child. This is an update from previous recommendations regarding the duration of breastfeeding until 1 year of age.Composition of human breastmilk:As the sole source of nutrition for infants in the first 6 months of life, breast milk plays a critical role in development. Human milk has a unique composition of proteins, fats, and lactose, as well as vitamins, electrolytes, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory immunoregulatory agents, and living leukocytes, all of which contribute to the developing immune system of the child. Breast milk is rich in Vitamins B1, B2, and B6, Vitamins C, A, E, Ca, Mg, phosphate, and folate. However, it is low in Vitamins K, D, B12, and iron, therefore supplementation of these nutrients is required. It is important for mothers to consume an adequate and healthy diet for their breastmilk to contain appropriate levels of these nutrients. Water-soluble and Fat-soluble vitamins can be low in breast milk if the mother has a deficiency. Selenium can be low if maternal serum levels are low. Dietary iodine deficiency may also be exacerbated by smoking; iron deficiency; and consumption of large amounts of foods that interfere with the production of thyroid hormones, known as goitrogens, including Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage, cauliflower, and broccoli. Maternal diet:Mothers should consume iodine-rich foods, such as lean meat, eggs, dairy, beans, and lentils. It is important to choose a variety of whole grains, as well as fruits and vegetables, and continue taking multivitamins. Fun fact: Different foods will change the flavor of your breast milk. This will expose your baby to different tastes, which might help him or her more easily accept solid foods down the road! It is recommended that mothers consume 290 mcg of iodine and 550mg of choline a day. Is there anything that mothers should avoid in their diet?-Limit seafood: Although fish is a good source of protein and lean meat, it contains some mercury, which can be transferred to the baby's diet. High amounts of mercury can have an adverse effect on the baby's brain and nervous system.-Limit caffeine: Also, we know a lot of people love their morning dose of espresso! Low to moderate amounts, equivalent to 2-3 cups of coffee per day, do not adversely affect the infant. However, anything more than around 300 mg of caffeine can cause irritability, poor sleeping patterns, fussiness, and jitteriness. Remember! This also includes sodas, energy drinks, tea, and even chocolate! As a reminder, one cup of coffee can have 95mg of caffeine.Vegan mothers: Vegetarian/vegan mothers may have very limited amounts of vitamin B12 in their bodies, which can result in neurological damage to the baby. Iron levels may also be sparse since plant-based foods only contain non-heme iron, which is less absorbable than heme iron. The American Dietetic Association recommends supplementation of vitamin B12, iron, and other nutrients such as choline, zinc, iodine, or omega-3 fats. Benefits:For the baby: Studies show that exclusively breastfeeding for 6 months decreased rates of neonatal and infant mortality as well as pediatric disorders such as otitis media, diabetes mellitus, obesity, lower respiratory tract disorders, asthma, atopic dermatitis, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), severe diarrhea, and inflammatory bowel disease. The longer an infant is breastfed, the greater the protection from certain illnesses and long-term diseases. For the mother: The longer a mother breastfeeds, the greater the benefits to her health as well. Mothers who breastfeed experience a lower risk of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancers. Contraindications:-Alcohol: Having up to 1 drink per day is not harmful to the baby, especially if the mother waits at least 2 hours before feeding the infant. This allows time for the blood alcohol concentration in the breastmilk to decrease. Consuming more than 2 standard alcoholic drinks daily is highly discouraged.-Tobacco: Cigarette smoking, or the use of nicotine products, is associated with decreased production of milk, shorter lactation time, and an increased risk of SIDS, asthma, and other respiratory illnesses in infants. Therefore, mothers should be strongly encouraged to stop smoking and minimize secondhand exposure. We know it is very difficult for people to quit abruptly. While transitioning to cessation, mothers should be counseled to smoke right after breastfeeding to allow the greatest amount of time for nicotine to exit the body until the next feed. Other cessation alternatives such as the patch or gum can also be used during breastfeeding.Varenicline: No human data is available to assess the risk of infant harm, but it is likely excreted in the milk, no data on the assessment of milk production.-Other substances: Marijuana, opioids, amphetamine, cocaine, and other illicit drugs are contraindicated due to their effects on neurodevelopmental behaviors. If these substances have been used intrapartum or during breastfeeding, it is important to monitor the baby for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome. Some symptoms include poor weight gain, tremors, high-pitched crying, stuffy nose, poor feeding/sucking, seizures, irritability, poor sleep, vomiting, and diarrhea.-Maternal infections: Breastfeeding is not contraindicated during most maternal infections. Some exceptions include HIV, Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I or II, untreated brucellosis, Ebola virus, or active Herpetic lesions on the breast. Women with herpetic lesions may breastfeed from the unaffected breast. -Maternal medications: Medications are relatively safe for breastfed babies, but some contraindications include anticancer drugs, oral retinoids, lithium, iodine, and amiodarone. Mothers should go over their medication list with their primary physician.Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Final Rule (PLLR): Classification of drugs according to their impact on pregnancy and breastfeeding (categories A, B, C, D, X) was started in 1979, but it was stopped in 2015 and replaced by the Pregnancy and Lactation Labeling Final Rule (PLLR). The former categories were replaced with narrative sections and subsections to include: Pregnancy (including labor and delivery), Lactation, and information for Females and Males of Reproductive Potential (pregnancy testing, contraception, infertility).Role of the physician and stigmas:It is well known that breastfeeding can strengthen the bond between the mother and her child. Therefore, when latching becomes a problem, mothers are quick to become discouraged. If this happens, pediatricians should educate the parents that many breastfeeding problems commonly arise between 4-7 days after birth. Sometimes, exclusive or any amount of breastfeeding is not always possible, despite the mother's best intentions. This can understandably cause them to feel a lot of guilt and disappointment as a new mother. Physicians should provide a safe, non-judgmental environment for the parents to openly discuss their difficulties while educating them on proper latching techniques and other alternatives for breastfeeding.Conclusion: Now we conclude our episode number 131 “Breastfeeding Part 2.” Aruna and Lia explained that the American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends continued breastfeeding until 2 years or as long as the mother and the baby desire it. It is important to remember some contraindications such as babies with galactosemia, mothers who are using illicit drugs, and some maternal infections such as HIV, untreated brucellosis, and Ebola virus. This week we thank Hector Arreaza, Aruna Sridharan, and Lia Khachikyan.

Once again, Chad was proven right. Today we revisit 2021 and the story of Zachary Willmore. Some of you may recall, young Zachary went viral for being the first boy named homecoming queen at his high school about a year and a half ago. Fast-forward to the present day, and sadly Zachary announced that he has tested positive for HIV. The young man appears to be taking it in stride by vlogging his “Days with HIV” on TikTok. Unfortunately, these are the tragic consequences of the lifestyle being pushed by the LGBT community, and this is a prime example of why it's important to call this stuff out. Elizabeth Warren, known fake Indian, wants to change the Massachusetts flag because it depicts a real Indian. Ironically, by trying to remove something leftists perceive to be racist, they're actually just helping whitewash history. We're joined by Sara Gonzales, BlazeTV host and Indian expert, to discuss this silly stunt. A school superintendent is catching heat for telling parents to get their kids under control due to the number of fights outside school and on the bus. Again, folks, it may take sacrifice, but now is the time to consider homeschooling your kids. On a positive note, Disney star Joshua Bassett shared the message of the Christian gospel with viewers during an acceptance speech at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards. It's a beautiful acceptance speech and a fantastic message for the youth. Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile Patriot Mobile now offers service with ALL THREE MAJOR NETWORKS.
