Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Schenita D. Randolph. A nurse scientist, Associate Professor at Duke University School of Nursing, and Founding Director of the HEAT Lab (Health Equity, Advocacy, and Trust Lab). The conversation focuses on health disparities impacting Black communities, HIV prevention, the role of nurse scientists, systemic barriers in healthcare, and the importance of community-driven solutions to improve health outcomes. Dr. Randolph also discusses her journey from North Carolina A&T State University to becoming a nationally recognized researcher and advocate for health equity. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Highlight the critical work being done to address health inequities in Black communities. Educate listeners about HIV prevention and awareness, particularly among Black women. Explain the role of nurse scientists in research, healthcare innovation, and public health. Discuss the impact of systemic barriers on healthcare access and outcomes. Promote community partnerships as a strategy for improving public health. Encourage greater awareness, testing, prevention, and engagement around HIV and other health challenges. Key Takeaways 1. HBCUs Play a Vital Role in Developing Healthcare Leaders Dr. Randolph credited North Carolina A&T State University for laying the foundation for her nursing career and leadership journey. She emphasized the significant impact HBCUs have had on educating healthcare professionals and advancing minority representation in nursing. Lesson: HBCUs continue to be powerful institutions for developing future leaders across multiple professions, including healthcare. 2. Nursing Is Much More Than Bedside Care Dr. Randolph challenged common misconceptions about nursing, explaining that nurses serve as entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers, educators, scientists, and healthcare innovators. As a nurse scientist, her work focuses on developing evidence-based interventions that reduce health disparities and improve outcomes for underserved communities. Lesson: Nursing encompasses a broad range of leadership, research, and public health roles beyond traditional patient care. 3. Nurse Scientists Are Underrepresented Dr. Randolph revealed that less than one percent of nurse scientists are Black, highlighting the need for greater representation in healthcare research and academic leadership. Lesson: Diverse voices in science and research are essential for addressing health challenges that disproportionately affect underserved populations. 4. The HEAT Lab Uses Community Partnerships to Address Health Inequities The HEAT Lab brings together researchers, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, community advocates, business owners, and local organizations to address health disparities through collaboration. Rather than imposing solutions, the lab works directly with communities to develop culturally relevant interventions. Lesson: Meaningful change happens when communities are actively involved in creating solutions. 5. HIV Remains a Significant Public Health Challenge Dr. Randolph emphasized that HIV remains a major issue, particularly among Black women in the Southern United States. She noted that Black women account for a significant percentage of new HIV diagnoses and that prevention efforts must continue despite advances in treatment. Lesson: HIV is still a critical public health concern and requires continued education, prevention, and awareness. 6. Prevention Tools Exist but Are Underutilized A major focus of Dr. Randolph's work centers on increasing awareness and access to PrEP (Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis), a medication that significantly reduces the risk of HIV infection. She noted that many women do not realize PrEP is an option for them because healthcare providers often fail to discuss it and public messaging has historically focused on other populations. Lesson: Awareness and access are often just as important as medical innovation. 7. Health Disparities Are Influenced by Systemic Barriers The discussion explored how factors such as healthcare access, economic inequities, education, housing, food access, and systemic racism contribute to unequal health outcomes. Dr. Randolph stressed that health disparities are not solely the result of personal decisions but are shaped by broader systems and structural barriers. Lesson: Effective health solutions must address both individual behavior and systemic obstacles. 8. Medical Distrust Has Real Consequences Dr. Randolph explained that negative healthcare experiences often influence whether people seek treatment, trust providers, or engage in preventive care. Building trust is a crucial component of improving health outcomes in underserved communities. Lesson: Trust is a critical factor in healthcare engagement and adherence. 9. Community Leadership Is Essential The HEAT Lab works closely with barbers, beauty salons, community organizations, and local leaders to spread health information and reach people where they are. Dr. Randolph believes trusted community voices can often be more effective than traditional healthcare messaging. Lesson: Community-based outreach is an important tool for improving public health awareness. 10. Black Communities Must Become More Proactive About Health Throughout the conversation, both Dr. Randolph and McDonald stressed the need for greater community engagement, health advocacy, routine testing, education, and shared responsibility. Lesson: Improving health outcomes requires collective action and community empowerment. Notable Quotes Dr. Schenita Randolph on Nursing "Nursing is so much more than the bedside."

The United Nations has warned that nearly three million children could contract HIV by 2040, with more than half at risk of dying from AIDS-related illnesses if prevention and treatment efforts are not significantly expanded. The agency says the overwhelming majority of these infections are expected to occur in sub-Saharan Africa, where young people remain disproportionately affected by the epidemic. Amid these concerns, a major scientific breakthrough is offering new hope. Lenacapavir, a long-acting HIV prevention injection administered just twice a year, is being hailed as a potential game-changer, particularly for young people and others who struggle to adhere to daily prevention pills. In United States, Minnesota , the fentanyl epidemic continues to devastate families and communities, with overdose deaths leaving a lasting toll.Presenter: Nkechi Ogbonna Producers: Blessing Aderogba Technical Producer: Herbert Masua Senior Producer: Keikantse Shumba Editors: Charles Gitonga and Maryam Abdalla

In this episode of Tiny Show and Tell Us, we welcome our first‑ever guest, podcast producer and dinosaur enthusiast Steven Ray Morris. Together, we dive into three wildly different stories. First, we explore a major advancement in HIV prevention: a newly approved twice‑yearly injectable drug called Lenacapavir. We chat about how it works, why it's a huge shift from daily pills or monthly shots, and the challenges around global access. Next, Steven takes us deep into the (mostly chilly) past — to Antarctic dinosaurs! What scientists are learning about these dinos is shifting what we think we know about where, and how, dinosaurs lived. Finally, Deboki breaks down the science behind blood flow restriction therapy, a rehabilitation technique that helps injured muscles rebuild strength using lighter loads. As always, Tiny Matters is not giving anything that could be interpreted as medical advice! Deboki also reveals she's into weightlifting. So yeah, don't mess with Deboki!

Director of Technical Services at the Ghana AIDS Commission, Fred Nana Poku, has warned that rising condom prices could discourage public use and potentially increase HIV transmission in Ghana

Michael Scarce worked at a now-defunct nonprofit called the Stop AIDS Project till in 2007, he blew the whistle when it began suggesting that to end AIDS, we need to "prevent sexual mixing."

The conversation delves into the publication 'Reasons Over Risks, NPs and HIV Prevention for Black Women' and explores the met needs, reframing risk and language in healthcare spaces, findings and impact of the work, the importance of caring and taking action, equipping providers and initiating conversations, and the passion for the work and advice for new researchers.TakeawaysHIV prevention for Black womenReframing risk and sexual health conversationsJoin us as we explore the urgent need for clinicians to address the biases surrounding Black women's health. Our latest episode sheds light on the critical research that aims to change the narrative around HIV prevention.

First batch of HIV prevention drug arrives in SA after 6-week delay by Radio Islam

On the Feb 13th edition: Residents of the city of Social Circle say they're not happy about plans for a new ICE detention facility; Georgia lawmakers pass legislation to boost access to H-I-V prevention medication; And to make housing in Georgia more affordable, some lawmakers say they need to level the playing field.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 1-01-2025: An emailer asks about omega-3 supplementation for memory at age 72. Dr. Dawn advises checking that fish oil capsules contain adequate DHA—at least 1,000 mg—since many omega-3 products have low DHA levels. She notes Medicare covers the same testing at standard labs as proprietary labs like OmegaQuant that charge patients directly. Beyond omega-3s, she emphasizes glucose control (hemoglobin A1c below 5.6) since the enzyme that breaks down insulin also clears beta-amyloid, and weight training to raise brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which promotes new synapse formation essential for memory. Dr. Dawn reviews Popular Science's top 2025 health innovation: eye drops from Lens Therapeutics containing aceclidine that correct age-related farsightedness for 10 hours. The drops shrink the pupil to increase depth of field, improving near vision by three or more lines on eye charts within 30 minutes without affecting distance vision. Side effects include eye irritation, dimmed night vision, and headache. She describes Duke University's breakthrough allowing heart transplants from circulatory death donors using an on-table reanimation technique. This could expand the pediatric donor pool by 20%—critical since up to 20% of children die waiting for transplants. Dr. Dawn celebrates CAR-T immunotherapy for multiple myeloma, which saved her husband's life. Of 97 heavily pretreated patients, 38% achieved complete remission still present at five years, with over 50% total survival. The therapy removes T-cells, uses CRISPR to add receptors targeting cancer cell antigens, then reinfuses the modified cells. She highlights a UC Davis study showing remote blood pressure monitoring with home technology, education, and coaching dropped patients' average blood pressure from 150/80 to 125/74 in months—low-tech with high impact. Dr. Dawn explains the Nano Knife for prostate cancer, which uses localized electrical pulses delivered through thin wires to destroy tumors while sparing surrounding nerves. This minimally invasive approach could reduce erectile dysfunction and incontinence common with traditional surgery. She describes Gilead's Sunlenca, a twice-yearly injection for HIV prevention that's 99% effective. At $14,000 per injection in the US, proceeds help fund access in resource-limited countries where it can be distributed like a vaccination. Dr. Dawn discusses Journavx (suzetrigine), a new non-opioid pain medication working on sodium channels to block pain signals before reaching the brain. At $30 for 50 pills on GoodRx, it offers an alternative for surgical pain in patients with addiction history or genetic vulnerability to opioid dependence. She details the landmark case of Baby KJ, the first person to receive personalized CRISPR gene therapy. Born with a CPS1 enzyme deficiency causing toxic ammonia buildup, KJ was too small for liver transplant. Scientists identified his specific mutation and used CRISPR base editing delivered via lipid nanoparticles to correct a single DNA letter—changing an A to G—in his liver cells which restored enough function to be discharged home. Dr. Dawn reports surprising findings that COVID mRNA vaccines amplify cancer immunotherapy. Lung cancer patients who received COVID vaccination within 100 days of checkpoint inhibitor treatment had 56% three-year survival versus 31% for unvaccinated patients. The mechanism is unknown but may involve mRNA generally alerting the immune system. She revisits research showing Zostavax shingles vaccination reduced dementia risk by 20% over seven years. A natural experiment in Wales—where an age cutoff created comparable vaccinated and unvaccinated groups—provided strong evidence that preventing herpes zoster inflammation protects brain health. Dr. Dawn concludes with Huntington's disease breakthrough: microRNA therapy delivered by virus directly into the brain slowed disease progression by 75% over three years. The microRNA binds to Huntington protein mRNA, preventing ribosome translation and toxic protein production. Some patients returned to work; others expected to need wheelchairs are still walking.

It is a momentous occasion when Judson wears an entirely black outfit. Brian takes his family to the fantastic new revival of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee off-Broadway, where his daughter joins the cast for the afternoon. Judson crowdsources an internship for a new friend he met by chance over ramen. The Hookup of the Week comes from a sub who finds a deeper connection with one of his regular Doms. The two are then joined by Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases before his fiery resignation this summer. Having also served as the CDC's Director of HIV Prevention, the White House's Deputy Coordinator of the National Monkeypox Response in 2022-2023, and the Deputy Commissioner of NYC's Department of Health, Dr. Daskalakis brings an incredible wealth of knowledge, experience, stories and sexy Daddy energy to the Dads and Daddies studio. Dr. Demetre speaks with Brian and Judson about his resignation from the CDC this summer and the hostile takeover of the organization by RFK Jr., being dubbed “Dr. Daddy” by legendary nightlife impresario Susanne Bartsch, his days on the front lines testing for HIV in NYC's bathhouses and sex clubs, the origin and evolution of his 14-year relationship with his husband Michael, their imminent move back to New York, the meaning behind his tattoos, the love of Madonna concerts he shares with Brian, and his intolerance of bullies instilled by his father that has made him the fighter he is today. He then joins Brian and Judson for a mini Go Ask Your Dad Extravaganza, tackling three listener-submitted questions about communicating when one tests positive for an STI, conquering a debilitating fear of HIV, and handling the discovery of an open sore during an anonymous sex encounter.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a series of fascinating advancements and strategic movements that are shaping the landscape of drug development and patient care.Starting with a significant milestone in precision oncology, China has approved its first EGFR-targeted antibody-drug conjugate. This approval marks a pivotal moment in the industry's shift towards targeted therapies, which promise more precise treatment options with potentially fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy. Targeted therapies are at the forefront of personalized medicine, where treatments are tailored to individual genetic profiles, offering hope for more effective cancer care.In the realm of HIV prevention, Gilead Sciences has reported impressive sales for its new long-acting pre-exposure prophylaxis medication, Yetztugo. Since its launch in June 2025, Yetztugo has generated $54 million in U.S. sales, underscoring the demand for long-term HIV prevention solutions. This development is part of Gilead's broader strategy to strengthen its HIV franchise as it advances its pipeline with promising candidates like GS-3242 alongside lenacapavir. The aim is to develop treatments that require less frequent dosing, which could significantly improve patient adherence and outcomes. Despite challenges within its HIV portfolio and declining Veklury sales, Gilead Sciences is actively seeking growth opportunities through strategic partnerships and pipeline advancements—an essential approach for navigating patent cliffs while sustaining long-term growth.On the financial front, AbbVie has increased its revenue forecast by $400 million to a staggering $60.9 billion, driven by robust sales from its immunology drugs Skyrizi and Rinvoq. These treatments address chronic inflammatory conditions like psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis, reflecting AbbVie's strong positioning in this therapeutic area despite competitive pressures. AbbVie continues to report strong earnings from Skyrizi and Rinvoq, reinforcing its dominance in the immunology market and highlighting the profitable nature of successful biologics in treating chronic inflammatory diseases.Biogen continues to bolster its multiple sclerosis franchise by focusing on both legacy treatments and new product launches. This strategy highlights the importance of balancing innovation with lifecycle management to maintain market strength against generic competition—a common challenge in the industry.Meanwhile, the American Academy of Pediatrics has taken a cautious stance by not endorsing leucovorin for autism treatment due to insufficient evidence. This decision emphasizes the critical need for rigorous, evidence-based practices in developing clinical guidelines for complex disorders like autism.Internationally, CSL Seqirus has partnered with Saudi Arabia to supply cell-based influenza vaccines and support local production capabilities. This move aligns with global efforts to enhance pandemic preparedness and healthcare resilience through local manufacturing initiatives.The volatile nature of the biotech sector is evident with reports of 16 companies ceasing operations in 2025 due to high R&D costs and regulatory challenges. Despite these closures, such volatility opens doors for new innovations that could address unmet medical needs.Turning our attention to obesity treatment, Eli Lilly stands at a crucial juncture with its novel obesity medication, orforglipron. The company aims to make this weight loss pill accessible while maintaining financial viability for future R&D—a balancing act faced by many pharmaceutical companies as they strive to deliver affordable yet innovative treatments amid growing global health concerns. However, not all R&D efforts reach fruition. Eli Lilly has decided to discontinue its mid-stage program Support the show

In episode 59 of Going anti-Viral, Dr Demetre Daskalakis joins host Dr Michael Saag to discuss his career in public health and the turnover in leadership at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Dr Daskalakis is an infectious diseases physician who served in leadership roles at the CDC from 2020 to 2025. He was director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases and was previously director of the Division of HIV Prevention at the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention. In 2022, he was appointed deputy coordinator of the White House response to the mpox outbreak. Dr Daskalakis discusses his career in public health and leadership roles in infectious diseases. Dr Saag and Dr Daskalakis have a detailed discussion about applying lessons learned from the HIV epidemic in the national response to the mpox outbreak and they discuss Dr Daskalakis's role at the CDC in response to the current measles outbreak.

Natalie Fleet is the Labour MP for Bolsover whose path into politics has been far from typical. From a very young age, teachers told her she was destined for university – something almost unheard of in her Nottingham mining town. But her future took a different turn, when at fifteen, she became pregnant by an older man. At the time she had thought they were in a relationship - but as she grew older, Natalie says she realised she had been a victim of grooming and statutory rape. She's now speaking out to give a voice to those she feels have been made to feel they should be silent, and joins Anita Rani in the studio. Only 3.1% of PREP users in England are women. That's Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, a drug that reduces the risk of being infected with HIV. Many women don't know that PREP exists, or don't consider themselves at risk. Yet women accounted for 30% of new HIV diagnoses in England in 2023. This week, the Elton John AIDS Foundation has launched pilot programmes to increase women's access to PREP. Anita was joined by Dr Jenny Whetham, Consultant and Joint Clinical Lead, Sexual Health and HIV Medicine, Brighton and Anne Aslett, CEO of the Elton John AIDS Foundation to discuss.Trisha Goddard rose to fame as a TV journalist. She was the first black TV presenter in Australia and is best known in the UK for her eponymous TV show which aired on ITV and Channel 5 in the late 90s and 2000s, earning her a reputation as the British Oprah. She joined Anita to talk about her career, appearing on Celebrity Big Brother and why she chose recently to go public with her diagnosis for stage 4 metastatic breast cancer.BBC journalist Sanchia Berg and fertility lawyer Beverley Addison joined Nuala McGovern to discuss the recent cases of older couples becoming parents via surrogacy.Comedian, actor and writer Rosie Jones joined Nuala to discuss her first sitcom, Pushers, which she stars in and co-wrote. She plays Emily in the Channel 4 show, who has very little left to lose after having her disability benefits cut when she loses her job - she finds herself building an illegal drugs empire. Emily isn't your average street-dealer though - she's sharp, funny, highly educated and has cerebral palsy. What better disguise could there be for criminal activity than to be entirely written off by society?Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Annette Wells Editor: Rebecca Myatt

The report highlights growing evidence about health issues linked to toxic air and calls it “a public health crisis”. Today, a group of doctors, nurses and campaigners are walking from Great Ormond Street Hospital to Downing Street with a letter calling on government ministers to commit to more ambitious air quality targets. Anita talks to two of them, Rosamund Kissi Debrah, whose daughter Ella became the first person in the UK to have air pollution cited on their death certificate and Professor Sir Stephen Holgate, co author of today's report.Only 3.1% of PREP users in England are women.
