In February 1912, babies started dying at the Brooklyn Nursery & Infants Hospital. The nursing staff was quick to accuse Winifred Ankers, the hospital's cook and an unwed mother who's own child was a patient there, but as the woman's murder trial unfolded, the poor management of the facility came under scrutiny. By the time it was over, nine babies, all under a year in age and most orphans or abandoned by their parents, had died and the real cause remained more speculation than established fact.

Cases have more than tripled in recent years in the US, with 3,700 cases reported in 2022 alone.

Last episode we explored the history of the genetic counseling field with Michelle Fox and Debra Collins who shared about the first annual National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) conferences. In this episode we are learning about the formation of the American Board of Genetic Counseling (aka ABGC) with Ann Walker and Ed Kloza. Ann Platt Walker, MA, LCGC has held many leadership positions including the Founding President and Director of the American Board of Genetic Counseling (ABGC), President of the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC) in 1982, and has been on the Board of Directors for the American Board of Medical Genetics (ABMG), American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG), and the American Council for Genetic Counseling (ACGC).

She has authored over 20 peer reviewed publications, 10 book chapters, and countless abstracts and presentations. Ann has been awarded many times through her impressive career including the Natalie Weissberger Paul National Achievement and Leadership Awards from NSGC.Ed Kloza, MS, LCGC was the first genetic counselor in Maine. He helped establish clinical genetics in Southern Maine and pioneered prenatal serum screening at the Foundation for Blood Research in Scarborough, and was a member of the team from Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island which published the first international clinical validation study of cell-free DNA screening. He was key in the development of the genetic counseling profession including as a past president of NSGC (the first, and one of only two males elected to that position), and in helping create the American Board of Genetic Counseling (which we are focusing on today). In 2000, Ed was honored with the Natalie Weissberger Paul National Achievement Award. Currently Ed is the genetics education consultant for the New England Regional Genetics Network (NERGN) and is an adjunct Professor at Bay Path University with their graduate Genetic Counseling program.On This Episode We Discuss:The ABGC versus the NSGC and which came first!The early days of board examsWhat prompted the creation of the ABGC in 1992Challenges in forming ABGCThe original goals of ABGC as an organizationThe first ABGC president and other key playersWhen ABGC began to accredit genetic counseling programsEstablishing practice-based competenciesIf you want to learn more about the history of the GC field, check out Episode 136 with Linda Robinson .

So if you are thinking about starting a business or just love hearing stories about how businesses grow, Porch Talks is for you.

Caring for infants can be difficult for one, very obvious reason: they can't talk. Sometimes drawing blood or preventatively prescribing antibiotics are the only courses of action for pediatricians looking to fend off a possible infection among their youngest and most vulnerable patients. Wouldn't it be easier if pediatricians could diagnose and accurately treat infants based on a drop of their saliva, instead? This week's guest expert, Dr. Jill Maron, may have the answer to that question. Dr. Jill Maron is the chief of pediatrics at Women & Infants Hospital in Providence, RI; vice-chair of pediatric research at Tufts Medical Center; and executive director of Mother Infant Research Institute. Dr. Maron is at the forefront of research on the clinical use of non-invasive saliva assays. How may this research open the door to personalized preventative healthcare for infants? What are the ethical considerations around medical advancements like this one? Download this week's episode to find out.

Dr Sikov (Women and Infants Hospital, Providence, USA) talks to ecancer at SABCS 2014. Among women with triple-negative breast cancer, the benefit of adding bevacizumab to standard presurgery chemotherapy was greater for those whose cancers were classified as basal-like by gene expression assay compared with those whose cancers were nonbasal-like. In contrast, the benefit of adding carboplatin was equivalent across subtypes. The team found that adding bevacizumab to standard neoadjuvant chemotherapy increased pathologic complete response rates for women with basal-like cancers— it increased the proportion of women who had no residual cancer detected at surgery—but decreased pathologic complete response rates for women with nonbasal-like cancers.
