We explore how faith-based shame and societal neglect, especially during the AIDS crisis, weaponized pain against the LGBTQ+ community, leading to immeasurable loss and continued fear, even with life-saving medications. It's a stark reminder that bigotry costs lives, and that societal acceptance still lags behind medical progress, particularly for marginalized groups.

    Episode 203: Microinduction and harm reduction in OUD.  Nathan Bui and Sanjay Reddy describe how to manage opioid use disorder (OUD) by using microinduction and harm reduction, strategies that are reshaping the way we treat opioid use disorder. Written by Sanjay Reddy, OMSIV and Nathan Bui, OMSIV. Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific.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.IntroWelcome to episode 203 of Rio Bravo qWeek, your weekly dose of knowledge.Today, we're tackling one of the biggest health challenges of our time: opioid use disorder, or OUD. Nearly every community in America has been touched by it: families, friends, even healthcare providers themselves. For decades, treatment has been surrounded by barriers, painful withdrawals, stigma, and strict rules that often do more harm than good. Too many people who need help never make it past those walls. But here's the hopeful part, new approaches are rewriting the story. They are less about rigid rules and more about meeting people where they are. Two of the most promising strategies for treatment of OUD are buprenorphine microinduction and harm reduction. Let's learn why these two connected strategies could change the future of addiction recovery. Background information of treatment: The X-waiver (short for DATA 2000 waiver) was a special DEA requirement for prescribing buprenorphine for opioid use disorder. Doctors used to take extra training (8 hours) and apply for it. Then, they could prescribe buprenorphine to a very limited number of patients. The X-waiverhelped regulate buprenorphine but also created barriers to access treatment to OUD. It was eliminated in January 2023 and now all clinicians with a standard DEA registration no longer need a waiver to prescribe buprenorphine for OUD. Why buprenorphine?Buprenorphine is one of the safest and most effective medications for opioid use disorder. It has some key attributes that make it both therapeutic and extremely safe: 1) As a partial agonist at mu-opioid receptors, it binds and provides enough partial stimulation to prevent cravings and withdrawal symptoms without producing strong euphoria associated with full agonists. 2) Because it has a strong binding affinity compared to full agonists, it easily displaces other opioids that may be occupying the receptor. 3) As an antagonist at kappa-opioid receptors, it contributes to improved mood and reduced stress-induced cravings. 4) The “ceiling effect”: increasing the dosage past a certain point does not produce a stronger opioid effect. This ceiling effect reduces the risk of respiratory depression and overdose, making it a safer option than full agonists. 5) It also had mild analgesic effects, reducing pain. 6) Long duration of action: The strong binding affinity and slow dissociation from the mu-opioid receptor are responsible for buprenorphine's long half-life of 24–60 hours. This prolonged action allows for once-daily dosing in medication-assisted treatment for OUD. Induction vs microinduction:The problem is, starting it—what's called “induction”—can be really tough. Patients usually need to stop opioids and go through a period of withdrawal first. Drugs like fentanyl, which can cause precipitated withdrawal —a sudden, severe crash may push people back to using opioids. Because buprenorphine binds so tightly to the mu-opioid receptor, it can displace other opioids, such as heroin or methadone. If buprenorphine is taken while a person still has other opioids in their system, it can trigger sudden and severe withdrawal symptoms.Opioid withdrawal sign sand symptoms:Opioid withdrawal symptoms are very uncomfortable; patients may even get aggressive during withdrawals. As a provider, once you meet one of these patients you never forget how uncomfortable and nasty they can be. The symptoms are lacrimation or rhinorrhea, piloerection "goose flesh," myalgia, diarrhea, nausea/vomiting, pupillary dilation, photophobia, insomnia, autonomic hyperactivity (tachypnea, hyperreflexia, tachycardia, sweating, hypertension, hyperthermia), and yawning. Think about all the symptoms you run for COWS (Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale). It is estimated 85 % of opioid-using patients who inject drugs (PWID) reported opioid withdrawal. Fortunately, even though opioid withdrawal is very uncomfortable, it is not life-threatening (unlike alcohol or benzodiazepine withdrawal, which can be fatal).Many patients who start the journey treating opioid use disorder experience “bumps in the road” --they avoid treatment or drop out early. What is Microinduction? Microinduction is a fairly new strategy started in Switzerland around 2016. It is also known as the “Bernese method” (named after the city of Bern, Switzerland). With this method, instead of stopping opioids cold turkey, patients start with tiny doses of buprenorphine—fractions of a milligram. These doses gradually increase over several days while the patient continues their regular opioid use. While they begin this titer, they can continue use of the full agonist they were previously using–methadone, fentanyl, or heroin, while the buprenorphine begins to take effect. Once the buprenorphine builds up to a therapeutic level, the full agonist is stopped. This method uses buprenorphine's unique pharmacology to stabilize the brain's opioid system without triggering those really nasty withdrawal symptoms.Early studies and case reports suggest this is safe, tolerable, and effective method to do. Microinduction is changing the game, and it has been spreading quickly in North America. Instead of forcing patients to stop opioids completely, the dose is slowly increased over the next three to seven days, while the patient keeps using their usual opioids.By the end of that week, the buprenorphine has built up to a therapeutic level and the full agonist is stopped. The difference is really dramatic. Instead of a painful crash into withdrawal, patients describe the process as a gentle step down, or a ramp instead of a cliff. It's a flexible method. It can be done in a hospital, a clinic, or even outpatient with good follow-up. Once a patient and doctor develop a strong relationship built on the principles of patient autonomy and patient-centered care, microinduction can be closely monitored on a monthly basis including televisits. Microinduction has been shown to help more patients stay in treatment. The Role of Harm Reduction Instead of demanding perfection, harm reduction focuses on best practices providers can implement to reduce risk and keep patients safe. Harm reduction can vary from providing naloxone to reverse overdoses, giving out clean syringes, or offering safer injection education. It also means allowing patients to stay in treatment even if they keep using other substances, and tailoring care for groups like adolescents, parents, or people recently released from incarceration. Harm reduction says that instead of demanding perfection, let's focus on progress. Instead of all-or-nothing, let's devote resources to keeping people alive and safe. As mentioned,an option is providing naloxone kits so overdoses can be reversed in the moment. Also, giving out clean syringes so the risk of HIV or hepatitis infection is reduced while injecting heroin. Another way to reduce harm is teaching safer injection practices so people can protect themselves until they're ready for that next step in their treatment. It also means keeping the doors open, even when patients slip. If someone is still using other substances, they still deserve care. And it means tailoring support for groups who oftentimes get left behind. For people like adolescents, parents balancing childcare, or people coming out of incarceration who are at the highest risk of overdose. Harm reduction recognizes that recovery isn't a straight line. It's about meeting people where they are and walking with them forward. Conclusion:Microinduction is itself a harm reduction strategy. It lowers barriers by removing the need for painful withdrawal.When paired with a harm reduction culture in clinics, patients are more likely to enter care, stay engaged, and build trust with doctors for continued care. Managing opioid use disorder is one of the greatest health challenges of our time. But solutions like buprenorphine microinduction and harm reduction strategies are reshaping treatment—making it safer, more humane, and more accessible. If we embrace these approaches, we can turn barriers into bridges and help more people find recovery. Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

    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.    OPB health reporter Amelia Templeton recently visited the Oregon National Primate Research Center and talked to a lot of smart people on all sides of this complex topic. She joins us to share her reporting.    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!

    A Serial Killer in the Suburbs of Paris The first victim was spotted by a passerby on August 13, 2025, as officials fished the body out of the Seine in a suburb of Paris near a known gay cruising spot. Divers searching the area found another body, then another, then another. As investigators search for answers and other possible victims, speculation swirls about the motive for the murders.   The Murder of Ryan Godbey: A Family Seeks Justice Ryan Godbey, a beloved member of Canton's LGBTQ+ community, whose a disappearance and murder shocked the Canton, Ohio area in 2025. The arrest and charging of the ex-boyfriends answered some questions, leaving others wide open.  If you or anyone you know is the subject of violence, please use the resources below.  The Brutal Murder of Jacob Zieben-Hood? On August 1, 2025, 34-year-old Jacob Zieben-Hood was found stabbed to death in the Harlem apartment he shared with his husband, Donald Zieben-Hood. Behind their social media image of happiness was a history of domestic violence, protective orders, and escalating threats. From alleged strangulation in February to a knife threat in June, the abuse intensified. On July 31, Jacob called his father during another violent altercation. Hours later, he was dead. Donald was found with self-inflicted wounds and arrested for violating a protective order. Christopher Hunnisett: Vicar's Murderer Freed to Kill Again When the dismembered body of a Reverend Glazebrook was found, his lodger, Christopher Hunnisett, was arrested and put on trial, and found guilty. Acquitted of the vicar's murder, Hunnisett went on a crusade to kill as many "pedos" as he could. Studying investigative techniques, Hunnisett followed a tip to 57-year-old Peter Bick, whom he assumed was an abuser. Pretending to be a date, Hunnisett went to Bick's flat and murdered him. The details of this case are unusual, but in some ways they align with what I've been exploring in the next episode, which is the origins and legacy of the provocation defense. A State of Emergency. Three trans women of color, three cities, all lost to unsolved murderous violence. In Boston, Rita Hester's 1998 murder inspired the Transgender Day of Remembrance.

She explores what peptides are, why they're trending in gyms, wellness clinics, and med spas, and how they're marketed for muscle gain, fat loss, recovery, and anti-aging.Lindsey discusses the science (and lack thereof), FDA concerns, and potential risks like overdosing, contamination, and unregulated use. She closes by reminding listeners that while peptides are intriguing, true health and longevity still come from foundational practices—quality sleep, nutrition, strength training, and meaningful human connection. Listen in to learn more : 01:03 – Why People Use PeptidesClaimed benefits include lean muscle gain, faster recovery, testosterone support, fat loss, and anti-aging. However, the evidence base is thin.01:18 – BPC-157 and Other PeptidesBPC-157: derived from stomach peptides, believed to speed up tissue healing and reduce inflammation.Tesamorelin: studied for HIV-related fat reduction.Sermorelin: targeted for sleep and recovery.CJC-1295 + Ipamorelin: growth hormone–related stacks are popular among bodybuilders.02:28 – Lack of Scientific EvidenceMost data comes from animal studies or small trials, not significant human clinical research.03:55 – FDA ConcernsThe FDA flagged four peptides in 2022; that number jumped to 26 by the end of 2023, showing rapid regulatory scrutiny.04:42 – Anecdotal Use by Doctors and CEOsSome report success with peptides like BPC-157 for injuries, but even they acknowledge the lack of robust science.05:35 – Risks of Overuse and ContaminationOverdosing risks: especially when combining peptides with testosterone, leading to organ enlargement.Contamination/mislabeling: Many peptides sold are unregulated, increasing health risks.06:15 – Back to Basics for LongevityDespite the hype, proven health strategies remain the same: sleep, exercise, protein, reducing sugar, strength training, and social connection.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-lindsey-elmore-show--5952903/support.

    Jed Brewer is the president and founder of Good Loud Media, a nonprofit organization that uses music and video to drive social impact in underserved communities around the world.   In this episode, Jed describes how Good Loud Media operates by bringing together Grammy-winning musicians, renowned psychologists, and subject matter experts to create targeted media campaigns.   Jed explores the concept of empathy in leadership and violence prevention. He explains how mass violence stems from a "death of empathy" where people demonize their enemies, and how perspective-taking through music can help restore human connection even in conflict zones. Jed shares his approach to networking as a superpower for creating change. He emphasizes that success is always a team effort and encourages leaders to view their network as the foundation of any meaningful impact. Listen to this episode to discover how music can be engineered to solve complex social problems and learn practical strategies for building powerful networks that drive systemic change. You can find episode 476 on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts! Watch this Episode on YouTube |   Key Takeaways [02:23] Jed reveals something people can't find about him online, that he grew up playing in rock bands and learned at 14 that "music has the power to bring us together" and can "create a place where people feel welcome when they don't feel welcome in other places." [03:36] Jed explains his journey from being a preacher's kid to prison chaplain and also describes how his passion developed through the fusion between music and technology that led him to study engineering while maintaining his love for music, understanding that "technology is a way to drive that forward." [07:02] Jed explains how he got into prison outreach and outlines his startup experience. He reveals a breakthrough discovery.  [13:07] Jed explains the business case for underserved populations, noting that pharmaceutical companies are "leaving money on the table" because potential customers aren't aware of life-saving products like HIV medications that "could be using these products." [15:47] Jed connects his faith background to his mission, explaining that his personal faith centers on "love your neighbor as yourself" and finding ways to "reduce human suffering." [17:03] Jed explains how he brings high-caliber people together and he describes the Narcan project. Jed identifies the messaging challenge where some people viewed Narcan as "something that drug users would have" he also outlines his collaborative process where he works with subject matter experts. [24:27] Jed describes distribution strategy where they put the song "everywhere" - radio, social media, and in-person community outreach - celebrating most when "people amplify it to their own network." [26:54] Jed explains his international focus where he started building relationships with creatives worldwide for cost-effective production and he reveals their focus on preventing mass violence. Jed describes their Nigerian mental health success where they embedded therapeutic breathing exercises in music. [32:57] Jed explains music's unique power, noting that unlike speeches that tell people what to think, music tells them "what to think and how to feel at the same time" because "people don't have their guards up about music." [35:48] Jed defines empathy through perspective taking, explaining that empathy begins with consciously thinking "what would it be like to be this other person" and seeing enemies as human beings, even those you disagree with. [40:18] Jed emphasizes networking importance, stating "Your network is your net worth" and "I don't think anybody succeeds alone" because success is always team success, so "the question is, who's on your team?" [44:25] Jed describes his leadership transition where Good Loud Media is shifting from him "doing everything" to "setting other people up to be the people that are doing things" as they expand internationally. [47:27] Jed delivers his closing call to action, saying "You have a vision in your head of something that you can do to make the world a better place... Do it. Now is the time... The world needs you." [49:10] And remember...“Where words fail, music speaks.” - Hans Christian Andersen   Quotable Quotes "I learned as a kid that music has the power to bring us together. I learned when I was 14 that music can create a place where people feel welcome when they don't feel welcome in other places." "I have always been a firm believer that networking is just how we all get where we're going. We all do better when we've got the riches of friendship." "Dig your well before you're thirsty." For me, the living out of that faith has to do with love your neighbor as yourself…I think that all of us can agree that whenever possible, lessening the amount of suffering in the world and lessening the amount of suffering that our neighbors and that our loved ones face is the morally right thing for us to pursue." "I have discovered few things that produce as much genuine magic as simply asking... There's a famous phrase, you have not, because you ask not. I have learned to ask pretty boldly for things, and most of the time people say yes." "Your network is your net worth. The people that, you know, are. That is your riches in life." "I don't think anybody succeeds alone... I think that success is always team success." "You're telling them what to think and how to feel at the same time. Music is a guided meditation that has both a cognitive and an emotive aspect happening in parallel."In mass violence, there's a death of empathy." "The only way forward is to see our enemies as human beings. And that really is what empathy is." "I think empathy in many ways begins and ends with perspective taking." "There are different seasons in life and there are different phases, and we pass in and out of them." "You have a vision in your head of something that you can do to make the world a better place. I know you do... Do it. Now is the time. Not next week, not next year. Do it. Get started. It won't get easier. The best time to do it is right now.We need you. Get to work.

    How This Is Building Me, hosted by world-renowned oncologist D. Ross Camidge, MD, PhD, is a podcast focused on the highs and lows, ups and downs of all those involved with cancer, cancer medicine, and cancer science across the full spectrum of life's experiences. In this episode, Dr Camidge sat down with Ken Culver, MD, the director of Research and Clinical Affairs at ALK Positive Inc.  Drs Camidge and Culver discussed the highlights of Dr Culver's career, which has been shaped by clinical practice, research, industry leadership, and patient advocacy. They noted elements of ALK Positive that set it apart from other patient advocacy groups, including its being entirely created, funded, and led by patients with stage IV lung cancer and their caregivers. Culver explained how he collaborates with patients to expand treatment opportunities, meets with companies and universities worldwide, and helps stakeholders recognize both the unmet needs and financial incentives for developing therapies for ALK-positive lung cancer. Culver detailed his path to the oncology field, which began with an intention to practice as a community pediatrician in Iowa. This led him to pursue residency training in California, where he gained diverse clinical experience, particularly in HIV/AIDS at the height of the epidemic. His early research explored HIV transmission in children born to drug-using mothers, highlighting the immunosuppressive effect of drug abuse even in the absence of HIV. During his fellowship, he contributed to pioneering work in gene therapy. He also participated in research that laid the groundwork for tumor-directed therapies, which later influenced large-scale clinical trials. Eventually, Culver explained that transitioned to industry. At Novartis, he contributed to the development of important drugs and witnessed the transformative launch of imatinib (Gleevec), one of the first targeted cancer therapies. Alongside his professional work, Culver established the Foundation for Peace, a nonprofit providing medical and community support in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Kenya. This initiative, which began with a mission trip in 1989, has grown to involve hundreds of volunteers annually, offering both medical care and broader community services. In his current role with ALK Positive, Culver noted that he has leveraged patient-led advocacy to influence industry priorities, resulting in several new clinical trials for ALK-positive patients. His work emphasizes balancing discovery research with near-term clinical opportunities to directly benefit patients with cancer today.

    In episode 56 of Going anti-Viral, Dr Steven Grinspoon joins host Dr Michael Saag to discuss managing cardiovascular health in people with HIV. Dr Grinspoon is a clinician in the Neuroendocrine and Pituitary Tumor Clinical Center and faculty member at the Massachusetts General Hospital, and a Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. He is a clinical researcher who studies hypothalamic control of body weight and fat distribution in obesity and lipodystrophy with a focus on the metabolic and cardiovascular consequences of visceral fat accumulation. Dr Grinspoon provides an overview of cardiovascular disease in people with HIV including a review of the REPRIEVE study that evaluated if statin medication is effective to prevent heart disease among people with HIV. Dr Saag and Dr Grinspoon detail the REPRIEVE study results demonstrating that statins lower baseline low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels and discuss the cardiovascular health benefits of lowering LDL cholesterol levels. They discuss arterial plaque, how it is measured and whether plaque can regress individuals on statins. Finally, Dr Saag and Dr Grinspoon discuss goals for follow-up studies to REPRIEVE and other studies looking into the benefits of statins in other populations.0:00 – Introduction1:28 – Overview of cardiovascular disease in people with HIV 3:23 – Overview of the REPRIEVE study, which evaluated if statin medication is effective to prevent heart disease among people with HIV10:51 – REPRIEVE study results lowering baseline LDL cholesterol                       13:26 – Follow-up studies in people who do not have HIV16:20 – How plaque is measured in the arteries19:40 – Regression of plaque in patients using statins 21:15 – Top goals for follow-up studies to REPRIEVEResources: REPRIEVE Study: https://www.reprievetrial.org/ __________________________________________________Produced by IAS-USA, Going anti–Viral is a podcast for clinicians involved in research and care in HIV, its complications, and other viral infections.

    First up on the podcast, despite so many advances in treatment, HIV drugs can suppress the virus but can't cure the infection. Where does suppressed HIV hide within the body? Staff Writer Jon Cohen joins host Sarah Crespi to talk about the Last Gift Study, in which people with HIV donate their bodies for rapid autopsy to help find the last reservoirs of the virus.   Next on the show, Christine Elliott, a doctoral candidate in the department of entomology at Purdue University, talks about the Bug Bowl—an annual public outreach event that highlights all the wonders and benefits of insects. We also get to hear the sounds of violins trying to be crickets and learn how music connects people to bugs in ways that posters and public lectures can't.   This week's episode was produced with help from Podigy.

    Artist Joyce McDonald was born in 1951 and raised in Brooklyn's Farragut Houses. But she didn't start pursuing art until the 1990s, after being introduced to sculpture in an art therapy program while recovering from drug addiction. McDonald, who was also diagnosed with HIV in 1985, found that art gave her a way to express herself, and honed her craft with Visual AIDS, which supports artists living with HIV. Her ceramic pieces and archival materials are the subject of a new exhibit at the Bronx Museum, 'Ministry: Reverend Joyce McDonald,' on view through January 11. McDonald discusses her life and art, and why she decided to become a minister at the Church of the Open Door.
