Exporting Medical Expertise during the Cold War: Medical Humanitarianism, Ideological Expansion or Pragmatism? A conversation with Bogdan Iacob

The medical aid programs established by socialist states nuance the Cold War dichotomy regarding the transfer of knowledge. The latest RevDem Democracy and Culture podcast with Bogdan Cristian Iacob explores the legacy of socialist regimes in the transnational circulation of expertknowledge during the Cold War, with a particular focus on medical aid.Bogdan Cristian Iacobis a researcher at the Nicolae Iorga Institute of History at the Romanian Academy and at the Institute for Habsburg and Balkan Studies at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. His work focused on the relationship between state socialist countries and the Global South, the transnational circulation of expert knowledge, and the legacy of state socialism's global entanglements in shaping the transformation of Eastern Europe. He is a co-author of the collective monographSocialism Goes Global.During its initial phase, the historiography of the socialist states labeled Eastern Europe as a disconnected region from the international transfer of knowledge. In this logic, the only possible knowledge exchange was from Western to Eastern Europe, due to the Iron Curtain. However, this initial paradigm has since been revisited and by now, historians provide amuch more nuanced perspective on this issue. Revisionist and post-revisionist historiography emphasize that Eastern and Central Europe were never completely isolated. Instead, exchanges, influences and mobilities occurred across threecore geographical axes – firstly, within the socialist bloc, another one with the West and finally, with the Global South. The decision-making process regarding international collaborations was far more complex than the Cold War dichotomy, as it involved domestic political pressures, as well as economic, social, and public health challenges. Bogdan Cristian Iacob favors this approach. Throughout his research, he sheds light on the public health programs created by the socialist states, situating them in the context of decolonization. This approach is highly relevant as it reframes Eastern Europe as an active participant in global public health strategies.Infectious disease eradication - a battlefield?The eradication of infectious diseases was a central debate in the post-war socialist states, as Bogdan Cristian Iacob argues in this podcast. He highlights the example of malaria. This disease was officially eradicated in Romania in 1963 and presented by the leadership as a unique and modern healthcare program, with the program later implemented in other countries. This case is relevant within the broader framework. The scope of malaria, typhus, and smallpox eradication was beyond individual countries, particular regions or one political regime. Based on such initial achievements, countries that engaged in the public healthcare competition exported medical knowledge to the postcolonial world.  Initially, in the 1950s the reason for this‘export' was anticolonial solidarity for the newly independent countries. Yet, in the 1960s, the medical assistance programs from Eastern Europe were no longer driven by mere solidarity. Instead, competition emerged, as BogdanCristian Iacob argues. The reasons included access to naturalresources and new markets, as well as the emphasis on the supplying country's modernity. Within this competition, postcolonial governments leveraged rivalries between donor countries sending medical aid and healthcare experts toappeal to the 'modernity ego' of state socialist officials, as Iacob points out.Healthcare support - paternalism or solidarity?While postcolonial solidarity was one of the main driversof healthcare support from Eastern European countries, it did not prevent the emergence of hierarchies. As this podcast demonstrates, Eastern European healthcare experts often perceived postcolonial countries as economically underdeveloped and culturally backward. The paradox is that socialist medicine demonstrated its own form of paternalism that replicated colonial practices.Often, doctors failed to distance themselves racializing their patients.Balancing domestic public health and expertise exportIacob argues that three elements dominated thepublic healthcare competition: anti-colonial solidarity, regional economic interests, and ideological rivalry. This, in turn, created a problem in the mid-1970s, as medical workers were deployed to certain postcolonial countrieswhile domestic healthcare systems faced staff shortages. As a result, ‘healthcare export' became both a political tool for legitimation and a source of revenue. One of the best examples of this is Cuba, as this podcast shows.RelevanceAccording to Iacob, this approach is relevant for both the historiography of socialist states and the history of medicine, as it highlights the multiple vectors of knowledgetransfer during the Cold War. However, within this debate, some questions remain unanswered. Iacob suggests three key questions for further examination. First, how do we further assess the relationship between Eastern European medicine and practices of racialization at home and those in global context? Second, how did global circulations of socialist medicine affect or influence specific medical fieldsback in the region? Lastly, how might the archival openings in the Global South might emphasize the agency of the postcolonial countries and change our current understanding about socialism and disease and in more broad terms, aboutemancipation?

Infectious disease specialist Dr. Peter Bornstein has treated countless patients with sepsis. Despite his expertise, Peter found himself battling this condition as a patient, sharing how he ignored the early symptoms until they escalated rapidly. Peter talks openly about the lessons he learned about navigating healthcare as both a doctor and patient. Key Takeaways: Sepsis is serious. Early signs include shaking chills, rapid heart rate, and lightheadedness. Don't hesitate to seek urgent care. Your medical history matters. Even minor procedures weeks prior can be critical to diagnosis. UTIs require attention. Symptoms like pain or frequent urination shouldn't be ignored, especially for men. Advocate for yourself. If antibiotics don't work within 3–4 days, ask for an infectious disease consultation.

In this episode, we interview Morgan Anderson, PharmD, BCIDP, a graduate of the RFUMS College of Pharmacy, about her career path from a pharmacy resident, emergency medicine specialist, infectious diseases specialist, and now a medical sciences liaison. The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed in this podcast are solely Dr. Anderson's own and do not necessarily reflect the views, positions, or policies of her employer. This podcast is conducted in a personal capacity, and any reference to her professional background is for context only. Key Concepts Having a wide breadth of skills and making yourself marketable is important when transitioning between jobs or career paths. Skills like communication and teamwork can be improved and are applicable to a wide variety of careers within pharmacy. Medical Science Liaisons (MSLs) are a common role for pharmacists in the pharmaceutical industry. MSLs are field-based roles within the medical affairs department of the company. MSLs are medical and scientific experts who build collaborative relationships with key thought leaders, facilitate exchange of scientific information and insights, and serve as a conduit between these thought leaders and other areas of the company. Two common career paths to pharmacists becoming an MSL are via a fellowship program or after years in clinical practice. A fellowship program provides a more structured approach, including mentoring and networking, with access to a variety of areas of the company outside of medical affairs. A pathway after clinical practice is more self-directed with less structure, but provides pharmacists with a strong clinical background that can be helpful in an MSL role. Being a scientific communicator, possessing strong emotional intelligence, and being adaptable are critical soft skills that are essential for success in an MSL role. These soft skills can be improved with practice! References https://www.industrypharmacist.org/

The last episode of the year carries a special end-of-year message from the CMI Comms editors and replays the very first episode of Communicable aired on 10 May 2024, in which editors Angela Huttner, Marc Bonten, and Erin McCreary discuss late-breaker clinical trials presented at ESCMID Global 2024 in Barcelona, providing insights into the trials' designs, results, and implications. The DOTS trial compared two doses of long-acting dalbavancin to standard of care in patients with complicated S. aureus bacteraemia. GAME-CHANGER compared cefiderocol to standard of care for Gram-negative infections. PediCAP compared oral step-down therapy with amoxicillin with or without clavulanic acid at shorter durations to the current WHO-recommended standard of five days of intravenous antibiotic therapy in children with severe pneumonia. Additional results from the MULTICAP and CLEEN trials, the CAMERA-2 follow-on in vitro analysis, and the Burkina Faso Escherichia coli transmission study are also discussed.

Infectious diseases are a major cause of illness and death among older adults. Vaccines can prevent some of these diseases but the uptake of vaccination among older adults varies across settings and groups. Communication with their healthcare worker can help older people makes decisions about vaccination and this is explored in the July 2021 Cochrane qualitative evidence synthesis of healthcare workers' perceptions and experiences of communicating with people over 50 about vaccination. In this podcast, two authors of this synthesis, Simon Lewin from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, and Claire Glenton from the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, discuss why they did the review and what they found.

Game 1 - Anti-Kareoke I've got four lists of Weird Al song titles from commercially released albums according to Wikipedia, and each team is going to take it in turns to try and communicate as many of the titles in their list to their partner within 60 seconds without using any words in the title, without any lyrics from the song, without using your hands, and critically - without singing. Your voice must maintain a monotone throughout, if your tone varies in any significant way, the current title will be voided and you'll have to move onto the next. After both players on each team have had a chance to both give and guess, the team that successfully guessed the most titles over both lists wins and earns one episode point. Game 2 - One or the Other I've got three lists of ten items. All of these items fall into one category or another. Teams will take turns guessing which category each item falls under, earning one point each time they're correct. The final list will be one thing, another, or BOTH, and teams will earn TWO points each time they are correct on the final list. The team with the most points after all three lists wins and earns two episode points. Game 3 - The Cost is Correct Our teams will bid on five items that were either sold or recently went to auction, and the player whose bid is closest to the final auction or sale price without going over will win the listing. The first team to win three listings wins the game and earns three episode points.

Chances are, if you've been online at some point over the past decade, you've probably watched a TED Talk. You know the format—world-renowned speakers, experts and innovators on various topics take center stage to present one great idea in 18 minutes or fewer. TED Talks often challenge conventional thinking and offer new perspectives. They can be inspiring, thought-provoking, and even controversial—sometimes sparking spirited discussions and debates.  More than one billion TED Talks are viewed every year. And chances are, you know the name TED, in large part, because of a man named Chris Anderson. As the curator of TED, Chris helped transform TED from a small, annual conference in Monterey, California, into the global phenomenon it is today. His TED mantra—"ideas worth spreading"—continues to flourish around the globe. It's created a platform for people from all walks of life to gain access to new ideas and research on virtually any topic they find interesting, for free. Today, we're talking with Chris about generosity and his recent book, “Infectious Generosity: The Ultimate Idea Worth Spreading.” In it, he explores the power of human kindness and its potential to transform the world. He explains why simple acts of generosity can have a profound impact on individuals and communities, and how the spread of kindness can create a more connected, compassionate society.
