Read the full transcript here. How big is the current mental health crisis? What's causing it? What do we know about the age distribution of people suffering from mental health issues right now? Is the crisis just that more people are suffering from anxiety and depression, or is there an increase in other disorders as well? Why are psychiatrists seemingly very picky about which insurance policies they'll accept? What percent of hospital psychiatric patients are repeat visitors? What would an ideal mental health system look like? How effective are addiction detox programs? Why might suicide prevention programs backfire? Which disorders are associated with the highest risks of suicide? If a person attempts suicide but is saved, how likely are they to attempt it again? When is it better to see a psychologist than a psychiatrist and vice versa? What are some of the most exciting and most worrying parts of genetic medicine? How should we decide which diseases to study and which treatments to develop? What's an "invisible" victim? Is there any solution to the problem of invisible victimhood? How effective was the Affordable Care Act (AKA "Obamacare")? Are we collectively spending too much money on end-of-life care? How can medicine better incorporate preventive care? What is body integrity disorder? Why do we have such a hard time combating our biases relating to physical beauty? Should polygamy be morally and/or legally permissible? Should medical aid in dying (AKA "assisted suicide") be morally and/or legally permissible? Are doctors too willing to resuscitate dying patients?Jacob M. Appel is currently Professor of Psychiatry and Medical Education at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, where he is Director of Ethics Education in Psychiatry, Associate Director of the Academy for Medicine and the Humanities, and Medical Director of the Mental Health Clinic at the East Harlem Health Outreach Program.

In a conversation with CancerNetwork®, Viviana Cortiana, MS4, medical student in the Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences at the University of Bologna, and Yan Leyfman, MD, a resident physician from the Icahn School of Medicine of the Mount Sinai Health System, discussed their publication in the March 2025 issue of ONCOLOGY titled “Expanding horizons in T-cell lymphoma therapy: a focus on personalized treatment strategies.” Throughout the discussion, the authors spoke about the current lymphoma landscape, CAR T-cell therapy, and the evolving understanding of the tumor microenvironment. Specifically, Cortiana covered a shift from histology-based classification to molecular tumor type classification using next-generation sequencing, as well as a growing interest in biomarker-driven therapies. Regarding the limited efficacy of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (CHOP) in T-cell lymphoma, she listed potential advances in combination therapies for angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), which include combining P13K and HDAC inhibition as well as CD30- and TRBC1-targeting CAR T-cell therapies. Furthermore, Leyfman discussed strategies that “reprogram” the microenvironment to address malignant T cells, particularly through epigenetic and adoptive cell therapies. Leyfman concluded by discussing future implications for T-cell lymphoma treatment, emphasizing an emergence of precision medicines and armored CAR engineering strategies. Authors of the manuscript published in ONCOLOGY outlined the available treatment options for peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL), which include targeted therapies through EZH2 inhibition, chemotherapy with CHOP, CAR T-cell therapies, and allogenic stem cell transplantation. Additionally, they highlighted encouraging results from clinical trials evaluating epigenetic-targeted therapies through the identification of molecular aberrations, which can help tailor treatments to individual patients.  Furthermore, the article explored limitations of chemotherapy as well as autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), which may not be feasible for older patients or those with comorbidities. Authors suggested that targeted therapies may enhance tumor specificity while reducing systemic toxicity. Given the risks associated with ASCT, they emphaisized a focus on the incorporation of optimized treatment strategies, such as novel pharmaceuticals and combination therapies, into clinical practice for patients with PTCL.

Dr. Yamamoto writes: “Recent vaccines, including those for Japanese encephalitis, cervical cancer, and coronavirus, have shown a low but significant risk of serious autoimmune conditions, such as acute disseminated encephalomyelitis and Guillain–Barré syndrome, as potential adverse events.” He adds: “Moreover, there has been a rise in cases of shingles, monkeypox, syphilis, severe streptococcal infections, measles, sepsis, and post-operative infections in countries administering multiple vaccine doses… Ironically, mRNA vaccines, initially introduced as a solution for infection control, have instead triggered an increase in infections.”In simple terms, these shots were causing “infections” and triggering “autoimmune conditions.”  The definition of an “infection” is “contamination,” to put something foreign into a local body. The definition of a “virus” is “slimy liquid, poison,” which means any substance of the like that can cause harm. Therefore, these shots inject a virus-liquid into a body that then becomes infected.  A recent phase one trial of personalized cancer shots at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, is based on “training the immune system to recognize unique cancer mutations, called neoantigens, and mount a stronger, targeted response.” But if the body is already reacting as it should to disease and one trains it to attack that process, it will certainly cause the body to attack itself, i.e., autoimmune disease. And if mRNA guides DNA, then gene therapy product might very well cause cancer by altering the body's regulation of gene activation and cellular reproduction. Dr. Yamamoto is right and his call for concern is simply logical and concerning. Japan also has one of the lowest vaccine trust indexes in the world when factoring in accessibility, and although most of the population reportedly took CoV-shots in particular, there is a high possibility that people just as easily reported to have taken them in order to maintain peace just as it is probably they actually took them for the same reasons, especially considering the overall hesitancy of the country. However, Japan has very low rates, or no increase, in blood clots.After all Japan banned MMR in the 1990s, pulled Moderna vaccines due to contamination, and revised their vaccine laws in the same decade to make vaccination a civic duty rather than a legal obligation. Perhaps this is why Japan got a special Japanese shot in 2024 called replicon, the first self-replicating CoV-shot. Don't trust those other ones, try the Japanese one they were told.-FREE ARCHIVE (w. ads)SUBSCRIPTION ARCHIVEX / TWITTER FACEBOOKMAIN WEBSITECashApp: $rdgable EMAIL: rdgable@yahoo.com / TSTRadio@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.

Watching polar bear mums and cubs emerge from their winter densPolar Bear mothers spend the winter in warm and cozy dens, gestating and then birthing their cubs, and right about now the baby bears are taking their first steps out of the dens and beginning to explore the real world. Using satellite collars and remote camera technology, researchers from Polar Bears International, the Norwegian Polar Institute, and the San Diego Wildlife alliance, now have an exciting new picture of how and when they leave their winter refuges. The team included Louise Archer, Polar Bears International Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Toronto Scarborough, and their observations were published in The Journal of Wildlife Management.Lousy sleep? It's quality, not quantity that may be your problemResearchers from the University of Toronto Mississauga have compared sleep in modern, industrial societies with non-industrialised societies, such as remote tribes in Tanzania and the Amazon. The team, led by anthropologist David Samson, found that people in modern societies sleep for significantly longer, but have weaker natural circadian rhythms, and so their sleep is not as functional as it should be. The researchers say that could be because people in industrial societies have lost touch with cues that regulate our circadian rhythms, like light and temperature changes. The results were published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.Greenhouse gases are messing up low-earth orbit for satellitesWhile greenhouse gases are warming the Earth's surface, they're paradoxically cooling the upper atmosphere, causing it to contract. And this means trouble for low-earth orbit as space junk and defunct satellites are not running into the tenuous atmosphere and falling out of orbit as fast as they used to. This is making low earth orbit more crowded, and more dangerous. William Parker, a PhD candidate at MIT, led this research, which was published in the journal Nature Sustainability.A 3.5 billion year old crater in Australia is telling the story of the early EarthResearchers have discovered shattered rock in an area of rolling hills in Western Australia that they think is evidence of an enormous and ancient asteroid impact. This would be the oldest evidence of an impact crater preserved on Earth, and could tell us about how the surface of our planet was formed, and even how the conditions for life were created. Chris Kirkland, a professor of Geology at Curtain University in Perth Australia, was co-lead on this research with Dr. Tim Johnson. Their work was published in the journal Nature Communications.Beyond long COVID — how reinfections could be causing silent long term organ damageIt's now been five years since the COVID pandemic stopped the world in its tracks. The virus is still with us, and continues to make people sick. As many as 1 in 5 Canadians have experienced symptoms of long COVID, but scientists are finding that beyond that, each infection can also lead to long term silent cellular and organ damage. David Putrino, who's been studying COVID's long term effects at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, says even mild or asymptomatic COVID infections can lead to a wide range of silent long term heath impacts — compromising our immune, vascular, circulatory, renal, metabolic, gastrointestinal systems and even cognitive function.

It's very difficult (often impossible) to completely avoid many of the environmental toxins that can cause harm - like air pollution and forever chemicals that contaminate our water and food supply. But Drs. Bob and Rosalind Wright at Mount Sinai have a hopeful solution to this dilemma. They are pioneering the study of “resiliency factors,” not just “risk factors,” that can offset the risks of harmful exposures. It's a fresh and welcome take on exposomics that I am very excited to share with you. For instance - did you know that omega-3 intake during pregnancy can protect against the development of asthma in the child, even if the child is exposed to known risk factors for asthma? Or that positive relationships (ones that create a sensitive, positive, caregiving environment) have been shown to potentially mitigate the effects of environmental toxins? As a practitioner, I am always looking to empower patients with real solutions to the health challenges we inevitably face and I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. ~DrKF Check out the show notes at https://www.drkarafitzgerald.com/fxmed-podcast/ for the full list of links and resources.

The outbreak of H5N9 avian influenza occurred at a California duck farm in November 2024. Also, new research pinpoints 298 parts of the genome associated with higher risk of bipolar disorder. This could lead to better treatments.Another Strain Of Bird Flu Discovered In CaliforniaThis week, the World Organization for Animal Health reported that it had been notified by the USDA that a November outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza on a California duck farm was caused by a strain not before seen in the United States: H5N9. The dominant bird flu strain circulating currently, H5N1, has led to massive culling of bird flocks, has infected dairy cattle, and has killed almost 500 people around the world since 2003. The US reported its first human death from bird flu earlier this month.Experts stressed that the new strain did not itself appear to be an immediate human threat. But the rise of a new strain is troubling and points to the risk of a viral phenomenon known as “reassortment,” in which different viruses mingled in a host can sometimes exchange bits of viral code, forming new strains.SciFri's Charles Bergquist joins Flora Lichtman to talk about H5N9 and other stories from the week in science, including a spacewalk that was meant to include a search for microbes on the outside of the International Space Station, a possible positive side effect of scratching an itch, and the discovery of 66 million-year-old fossilized vomit.Understanding Bipolar Disorder Through The GenomeBipolar disorder is one of the most common mental illnesses—it affects an estimated 40 million people worldwide, about 2.8% of the population. Bipolar disorder can cause extreme mood swings, and be debilitating without treatment.In an effort to untangle the mysteries of where bipolar disorder originates, researchers studied the genomes of more than 40,000 people with the condition. When comparing these genomes to those of people without bipolar disorder, the researchers were able to pinpoint 298 different parts of the genome associated with the mental illness. With this better understanding of the genome, better, more targeted treatments for bipolar disorder may be possible.Joining Flora to talk about this research is Dr. Niamh Mullins, assistant professor of psychiatric genomics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

First up this week, host Sarah Crespi talks to Jon Chu, a presidential young professor in international affairs at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore, about how people around the world define democracy. Does democracy mean elections, freedom of the press, social mobility, or something else? Chu's team found there was common ground across six countries. In many places with backsliding democracies, leaders may be tempted to change the definition of democracy to their own ends—this study suggests the people they rule won't be fooled.   Next, when staying at home meant choosing between chemistry and basketball, Lena Svanholm sought an opportunity in the U.S. to pursue both.

It's not always easy to make friends, but in this week's episode, both of our storytellers take us on heartwarming and sometimes unexpected journeys to find true friendship and meaningful connections. Part 1: Eva Chebishev gets voted “Most Organized” in first grade and struggles to fit in with her peers. Part 2: Morgan Roberts is worried about how people will see her if she enters a high school math competition. Eva Chebishev (she/her) is a microbiology PhD candidate in the lab of Dr. Ana Fernandez-Sesma at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (ISMMS). Her research focuses on the immune response to Dengue virus (DENV) with hopes of creating a safe, effective vaccine that is protective against all four serotypes of DENV. When she finally finishes this PhD, she aims to combine her enthusiasm for science communication and public outreach with her life-long passion for musical theatre. To this end, she recently had the incredible opportunity to perform in the limited, Off-Broadway run of “Lifeline” an original musical which tells the story of Alexander Fleming's discovery of Penicillin and the ongoing, rising global public health threat of antimicrobial resistance. She was also an attendee of ComSciCon-Flagship-2024, a science communication conference for graduate students, and has guest starred on the podcast “Mattsplaining” by Matthew Storrs. Outside of the lab, she performs in, directs, and produces “The Sinai Story Project”, a student-run showcase of original stories from the ISMMS student body. Finally, she is a diversity and disability advocate for equal opportunities in science and would like to thank The Story Collider for this opportunity and her Story Collider Workshop instructors for helping her find and craft her story. Morgan Roberts is a Mechanical Engineering major in her junior year at Boise State University. She is currently pursuing aerospace engineering and has had wonderful opportunities interning for various aerospace companies in the US and is hopeful to get more!
