You keep getting sinus infections, so you keep getting antibiotics. What if the antibiotics are part of the problem? Franklyn R. Gergits is a board-certified otolaryngologist and fellowship-trained otolaryngic allergist with about 30 years in practice. This episode is based on his article "Recurrent sinus infections leave damage beyond your sinuses," published on KevinMD. He explains why 2025 guidelines shifted from reaching for antibiotics to treating inflammation, and how repeated courses can wipe out your good bacteria, let resistant bugs and biofilms take hold, and leave you feeling reinfected when the real issue is inflammation. You will hear how this can progress to stubborn fungal infections, why he tests with a scope and lab analysis instead of guessing, and what he reaches for first, from high-volume sinus rinses to steroid sprays. He also shares what he wishes primary care physicians would do before writing the next prescription. Press play to learn how to tell a true infection from chronic inflammation, and what to reach for before the next antibiotic. Partner with me on the KevinMD platform. With over three million monthly readers and half a million social media followers, I give you direct access to the doctors and patients who matter most.

Living with chronic illness can feel like collecting diagnoses without getting real answers. Symptoms are treated one at a time, but the underlying causes can easily be missed. What if asking a different question is the first step toward feeling better? In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Richard Horowitz, an internationally recognized Lyme disease expert and author of the new book Ending Chronic Illness. After caring for thousands of patients over more than four decades, he explains why many seemingly unrelated conditions share common underlying drivers—and why thinking like a medical detective may help uncover them. We discuss: Why treating the diagnosis isn't always the same as treating the problem—and how to start looking deeper How hidden infections, environmental toxins, gut health, and other overlooked factors can quietly drive chronic illness What new research may reveal about the links between infection, inflammation, and brain health How to begin uncovering what's really driving persistent symptoms Our bodies are constantly communicating with us. The challenge isn't that they're silent—it's that we haven't always known how to listen. Sometimes finding better answers begins with asking different questions. Continue Exploring If you'd like to explore Dr. Horowitz's work further, here are two great places to start: Take his Symptom Assessment Quiz to better understand what may be contributing to your symptoms.

Nate Stasko, CEO of Vast Therapeutics, is developing a novel nitric oxide-releasing therapy to treat chronic respiratory diseases, particularly fibrosis bronchiectasis, which is frequently misdiagnosed as asthma or COPD. Their lead drug candidate is a dual-mechanism therapy that is delivered to the lungs via a nebulizer to target both infection and inflammation with the potential to eradicate pathogens rather than just suppressing them. This approach, in early trials, is showing excellent tolerability and eliminates the need for chronic antibiotic use, which carries the risks of toxicity and contributes to antibiotic resistance.  Nate explains, "At Vast Therapeutics, our main idea and goal as a company is to come up with better solutions for the 500 million people worldwide who suffer from chronic respiratory disease. And there is a new disease getting a lot of attention that we're targeting with our lead program called bronchiectasis, and it's often been misdiagnosed as asthma or COPD. And now over a million patients in the US are being diagnosed with bronchiectasis. And the whole campaign is to teach physicians and the whole medical community to suspect this disease over some of these other misdiagnosed diseases."  "Traditionally, patients have been managed with either antibiotics to calm down the infection, but you know the problems of chronic antibiotic use- the liver toxicity, kidney toxicity, and hearing loss associated with long-term antibiotic use are just bad for these patients. Not to mention we have the global problem of antibiotic resistance. And so giving a 52-week course of therapy of antibiotics is less than ideal. And then recently, just last year, there's some hope for these patients where there was a new drug approved called brensocatib, which was the first drug ever approved for bronchiectasis by the FDA. And so now it targets the inflammation." "Having the ability to target two mechanisms of action would be the best therapy. And that's actually what Vast is developing. We're using the body's own ability to make and produce nitric oxide, which is a miracle molecule. And we're delivering nitric oxide back to these patients to target both the infection and inflammation at the same time and improve the overall standard of care for these patients."  #VastTherapeutics #Bronchiectasis #Pulmonology #NitricOxide #RespiratoryMedicine #AntimicrobialResistance #ALX1#ChronicLungDisease #HealthcareInnovation #ClinicalTrials vasttherapeutics.com Download the transcript here

Can Infections Drive Alzheimer's? Nikki Schultek, founder of Intracel Research Group and co-founder of the Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative, details evidence that pathogens may contribute to Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative and neuroimmune disorders beyond the amyloid hypothesis. Schultek recounts her own misdiagnosed systemic illness with neurodegenerative symptoms, later found to involve Lyme disease, Babesia, and chronic infection with the intracellular respiratory bacterium Chlamydia pneumoniae, treated with combination antibiotics. The discussion covers PANS/PANDAS as an infection-associated pediatric neuropsychiatric condition, parallels with neuroinflammation and blood–brain barrier changes, and a 2023 Alzheimer's & Dementia “research roadmap” documenting 86 infection-associated dementia cases and calling for actionable testing and collaboration. They review links involving herpes viruses, COVID-related cognitive decline, gum pathogen P. gingivalis therapies, and controversies around chronic infection diagnosis and long-term antibiotics, and share resources including alzpi.org, ILADS, MAPS, and Schultek's Pathobiome Research Center at PCOM.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Nikki Schultek, founder of Intracel Research Group and co-founder of the Alzheimer's Pathobiome Initiative.

This week's topics include continuing dual antiplatelet therapy after stenting, amyloid depletion in Alzheimer's, infections in US hospitals, and algorithms for diagnosing PE in people with cancer.

In this week's episode, Blood editor Dr. James Griffin interviews Drs. Haris Sohail and Lucas Kühne on their latest articles published in volume 147 issue 21 of Blood. In this CME article titled, "Retrospective, Real-World Study of IV Iron Use to Treat Iron deficiency Anemia During Acute Infection",  Sohail et al show that IV iron given during acute infection with iron deficiency anemia is associated with improved 14-day and 90-day survival as well as hemoglobin recovery. Although this report has the limitations of a retrospective study, these findings challenge current practice and support randomized trials that include patients with infection. In "Revisiting Clinical Response and Refractoriness in Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura", Kühne et al show in a multicenter registry study of 204 patients that refractoriness during caplacizumab treatment in immune TTP is uncommon and, when observed, is typically associated with confounding clinical factors. These findings underscore the importance of careful clinical reassessment and evaluation for alternative etiologies in patients with delayed platelet recovery, rather than attributing such cases to true treatment resistance.

Hannah Calvo, the aesthetician behind Steph's CoolSculpting journey, finally makes it onto the podcast. Steph has been talking about her stomach for years and now the person responsible for fixing it is here to explain exactly how it works. Hannah and Steph get into the science of freezing fat cells, how kids sucking on popsicles literally led to this technology, why you pee and poop the dead fat out, what Kybella does to your chin, laser hair removal gone wrong, people DIYing their own filler at home, the horror story of a woman whose face was filled with mystery cement that no surgeon would touch, and why medical tourism for aesthetics is genuinely terrifying.

Alec Ford, CEO of Karius, has developed an innovative approach to diagnosing infections in immunocompromised patients, using DNA sequencing of blood samples to identify over 1,300 causes of infection within 24 hours. Traditional diagnostic methods rely on hypothesis-driven testing and the cultivation of organisms. At the same time, the Karius approach enables faster, more targeted antibiotic treatment, reduces unnecessary broad-spectrum antibiotics, and can identify infections that may not be included in the initial diagnosis. Time to proper treatment is essential for vulnerable populations, including cancer patients, HIV-positive individuals, organ transplant recipients, and those undergoing autoimmune therapies.  Alec explains, "These are patients going through cancer treatment, patients with HIV, people going through solid organ transplantation, or people being treated assertively with autoimmune therapies for autoimmune disorders, where it may compromise their immune system. That really vulnerable patient is our exclusive focus as a company."   "So, a patient gets admitted to the hospital for an infection. They take a sample of that patient's blood. And what we can do is diagnose over 1,300 causes of infection by sequencing the patient's blood for viruses, parasites, bacteria, and fungi that could threaten the success of their cancer treatment or solid organ transplant. There's never been a test in the history of infectious disease that can test for any DNA-based organism, and we do so. We can return a result 24 hours after we receive the sample."   #Karius #InfectiousDisease #Diagnostics #Metagenomics #MedTech #KariusSpectrum #KariusFocus #NextGenSequencing #ImmunocompromisedCare #Oncology #TransplantMedicine #AntimicrobialStewardship #Genomics #MolecularDiagnostics #KariusTest #PatientSafety #HealthcareInnovation Kariusdx.com  Download the transcript here

Infection control is the most important responsibility in every dental practice, yet it is also one of the most misunderstood. Are dental teams truly protecting their patients, or are outdated habits putting safety at risk without anyone realizing it? In this conversation, Tija Hunter, CDA, EFDA, CDIA, CDSO, MADAA joins Kevin Henry to discuss why infection control should always come before productivity, scheduling, or practice growth. They explore the growing challenge of training new dental assistants, the spread of misinformation in dentistry, and why proper education is essential for keeping both patients and dental teams safe. Tija explains how certification in dental infection prevention builds confidence, strengthens careers, and helps establish consistent standards across the profession. The discussion also covers common misconceptions about sterilization, the importance of documentation, understanding state regulations, and why continuous education is one of the best investments any dental assistant can make. Whether you are new to dentistry or an experienced professional, this episode highlights why infection control remains the foundation of quality patient care. Connect with Tija Hunter Email: tijaefda@gmail.com DANB Website: https://danb.org/ ADS Website: https://www.myads.org/ ------------------- Dental assistants play a powerful role in whether patients move forward with treatment. You are a key part of the patient journey, and having the right financial options can make all the difference. CareCredit is a health and wellness credit card that offers flexible financing options, so patients can pay over time for the care they want or need, subject to credit approval. When money isn't the obstacle, patients say yes. Want to make CareCredit part of your practice's offerings and strengthen case acceptance?

Current Lyme disease tests look for antibodies produced by the immune system in response to Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria transmitted to humans by infected blacklegged ticks. My guest today says, "The problem is that these antibodies don't have the right characteristics to be clinically useful". New research led by Tufts University School of Medicine suggests that a group of immune molecules called anti-lipid antibodies may address these shortcomings. Joining me today do discuss this problem and the potential solution is Peter Gwynne, Phd. Dr Gwynne is a research assistant professor at Tufts University School of Medicine and the senior author of the new paper published in the journal, Infection and Immunity.   Antiphospholipid antibodies in acute and post-treatment Lyme disease

The McGraw Show 7-10-26: Little House, Sunflowers, Mitch, Joan VonDras & Parasitic Infections by

Infections with cyclospora, a parasite that spreads through raw produce and causes severe “explosive” diarrhea, are on the rise in multiple states. Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, New York, Texas and Illinois are among the hardest-hit states by the stomach bug, which usually increases during the warmer months in the United States. What is cyclosporiasis? It's caused by a parasite and spreads through contaminated fresh produce. The most common symptom of cyclosporiasis is sudden, watery explosive diarrhea, severe stomach cramps, vomiting, nausea, loss of appetite, and fatigue.

Marc Maron stops by Steph Infection and immediately makes himself at home, which means an hour of medical anxiety, body scan results, and somehow ending on a book of gangrenous cock illustrations. Steph and Marc get into bombing at the Comedy Store after tragedy, crying onstage, Marc's full body Nuvo scan results including desiccated discs, mild scoliosis, and a thyroid problem, plus asking his cardiologist to just put preventative stents in, quitting his podcast, three cats he can't get rid of, going vegan and missing tin fish, Jay Leno still doing his thing, and his dad's medical textbooks full of diseases of the cock that haunted his entire childhood.

Rabies remains one of the deadliest infections known to medicine, yet it is almost entirely preventable with prompt treatment. In this episode, Alastair Milne from the medical school in the University of Nicosia in Cyprus, explores how the virus is transmitted, and describes a practical scenario to understand how fatalities from this disease can be avoided.

Kaôh F***ing Rong Rewatch Ep 7 It's merge time on Survivor: Kaôh R?ng as Rob Cesternino and co-host Chappell break down the nonstop drama and brutal twists of episode seven in this recap. The Brains vs. Beauty vs. Brawn season hits a turning point when medical emergencies wreck carefully laid plans, sending shockwaves through alliances and putting player safety front and center. When Neil is suddenly pulled from the game by the medics, the expected fireworks at Tribal Council fizzle—but the fallout is anything but predictable. Rob and Chappell dive deep into the chaos of camp as infections run wild and players trade war stories about their wounds, with Dr. Rupert stepping in and changing the course of the game. The merge feast brings celebration and strategic maneuvering, as the Beauties find themselves in the swing position and both Brains and Brawn vie for their loyalty. Aubry appears doomed after her social missteps, but Neil's medevac and his idol complicate everything, leading to a series of what-if scenarios and hard feelings. The hosts dig into the ripple effects—how Neil's exit becomes a sliding doors moment for Aubry, the questionable strategies from both sides, and the relentless pace of health scares that push production's limits. – The medevac sequence and Survivor's cavalier attitude toward infections, capped by Neil's shocking evacuation – The Beauties as a crucial swing vote, with Nick and Michele weighing their options between Brains and Brawn – Insight on Aubry's vulnerable position and why her alliance choices almost send her home – The merge feast antics, hidden idol talk, and why Debbie's recruitment strategy rubs her tribemates the wrong way – Reflections on Survivor history: past idol handoffs, scratched-out votes, and what happens when production bends medical rules Will Aubry's luck finally run out, or does Neil's sacrifice set her on an unexpected path to Survivor glory?

This Skeptical Sunday, Jessica Wynn explains how dialysis became a $50B industry where under 40% of patients survive five painful years of dependence.Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of The Jordan Harbinger Show where Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we're joined by writer and researcher Jessica Wynn!Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1336On This Week's Skeptical Sunday:Dialysis is a life-sustaining external filtration system for the roughly 800,000 Americans in kidney failure — but it's grueling. Most patients endure three to five hours per session, three times a week, indefinitely, and fewer than 40% survive beyond five years.The financial structure is staggering. Dialysis is a $50 billion-a-year US industry, with Medicare spending about $36 billion annually — roughly 7% of its entire budget for under 1% of the population. Two companies, DaVita and Fresenius, control about 70% of all clinics.The system rewards permanence over cure. Since 1972, Medicare has covered kidney failure for everyone regardless of age, creating guaranteed, indefinite revenue. Transplants and home dialysis are cheaper and better for patients, yet under-incentivized because they cost providers customers.The human and safety toll is severe. Infections cause 36% of dialysis deaths, sepsis mortality runs 100 to 300 times higher than average, and understaffing worsens outcomes. Many patients lose their jobs, mobility, and social lives — some choose to stop treatment entirely.The hopeful part: much kidney disease is preventable or delayable, and you have real power here. Manage diabetes and hypertension aggressively, get your kidneys checked with a simple blood and urine test, and see a nephrologist early — catching it sooner can dramatically slow progression.Connect with Jordan on Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.
