Extreme Risk Protection Orders, or "red flag" laws, are a state policy tool designed to temporarily remove firearms from individuals who are behaving in a manner dangerous to themselves or to others. As state laws, they vary in their design and implementation, including who is able to petition to have firearms removed. In some states with red flag laws, physicians, pediatricians, and other clinicians are enabled by law to fill this role. On this episode of Policy Outsider, we explore why clinicians are well-suited to be ERPO petitioners and their challenges and concerns with the laws as currently constructed.

This week, Brian Taylor sits down with Dr. Alison Huang, a senior research associate at the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, to delve into the complex relationship between loneliness, social networks, and hearing loss. Dr. Huang shares her expertise as both an epidemiologist and a gerontologist, discussing the prevalence of social isolation and loneliness among older adults, particularly exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Highlighting the distinctions between social isolation and loneliness, she explains how hearing loss can contribute to feelings of loneliness, even in the presence of a social network. The conversation also explores findings from the ACHIEVE study, a groundbreaking randomized trial testing the effect of hearing intervention on cognitive decline and other health outcomes among older adults with untreated hearing loss. Dr. Huang provides insights into the study's primary outcomes, challenges, and implications for clinical practice, emphasizing the importance of increasing awareness of hearing health and destigmatizing hearing intervention. Finally, she shares insights into upcoming projects aimed at further understanding the impact of hearing intervention on social and mental health outcomes.

Fungi are among us more than we realize. From the backs of frogs to our own backyard, fungi, a largely neglected group of pathogens, are becoming a prevalent and widespread concern among scientists and health experts alike. The main reason? Climate change. Joining me today on The Excerpt to discuss what's causing this explosion in disease-causing fungi is Dr. Arturo Casadevall, Chair of Molecular Microbiology & Immunology at John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Epidemiologist Steffanie Strathdee and her husband, psychologist Tom Patterson, were vacationing in Egypt when Tom came down with a stomach bug. What at first seemed like a case of food poisoning quickly turned critical, and by the time Tom had been transferred via emergency medevac to the world-class medical center at UC San Diego, where both he and Steffanie worked, blood work revealed why modern medicine was failing: Tom was fighting one of the most dangerous, antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the world.Steffanie joins Greg this episode to discuss solving her husband's medical crisis, and what she learned from this horrific experience. They also discuss how Covid has ramped these trends up, how critical phages are for our bodies, and the open mindedness of PhDs vs MDs.Steffanie is Associate Dean of Global Health Sciences and Harold Simon Distinguished Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine. She is also an Adjunct Professor at Johns Hopkins and Simon Fraser Universities. She co-directs UCSD's new center for Innovative Phage Applications and Therapeutics (IPATH), Global Health Institute and the International Core of UCSD's Center for AIDS Research. Stefanie has co-authored her memoir all about her husbands illness titled, “The Perfect Predator: A Scientist's Race to Save Her Husband from a Deadly Superbug.”Episode Quotes:The need for a phage library[30:40] What we need to do is build a phage library that maps onto a superbug library. And, of course, these are going to be constantly needing to be updated because these are organisms that are co-evolving to attack one another.What's the future looking for the advancement of phage[37:55] I can imagine a situation in the future, though, where, because we have, sequencers that are portable and cheaper than ever before, that you'd be able to sequence a phage and sequence a bacteria and be able to have a database to say, okay, you know, this phage will match that bacterium or to even genetically modify or synthesize a phage. So in a 3D printing model, some of my colleagues in Belgium have, you know, been working on that. So, I think that there's going to be advances that are going to help us make this work. But right now, we need phage libraries. We need more investment in clinical trials.Pushing beyond boundaries leads to discovery[39:49] When your back is up against the wall, whether it's you as an individual, us as a society, or a planet, we can sometimes have creative ideas to come up with solutions that we wouldn't otherwise do. And that's what I'm hoping that we'll do now because both climate change and antimicrobial resistance are colliding.Show Links:Guest Profile:Faculty Profile at UC San DiegoFaculty Profile at John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public HealthProfessional Profile at Canadian Association for Global HealthSteffanie Strathdee on LinkedInSteffanie Strathdee on TwitterSteffanie Strathdee on InstagramSteffanie Strathdee on TEDxNashvilleHer Work:Steffanie Strathdee on Google ScholarThe Perfect Predator Website

În cadrul ediției de pe 29 martie 2022 a emisiunii #știința360 de pe Radio România Cultural, Dr. Marius Geantă, Președintele Centrului pentru Inovație în Medicină #inomed, a comentat topul săptămânal Esențial Covid-19 de pe Raportuldegardă.ro. Multiple studii efectuate începând cu primele luni ale pandemiei sugerează capacitatea superantigenică a SARS-CoV-2: superantigenele (SAgs) sunt antigene potente, capabile să genereze un răspuns imunitar puternic, exacerbând răspunsul limfocitelor T și generând un influx de citokine. Superantigenele provoacă activarea nespecifică a celulelor T, rezultând în activarea celulelor T policlonale și eliberarea masivă de citokine. SAg-urile sunt produse de unele virusuri și bacterii patogene ca mecanism de apărare împotriva sistemului imunitar al gazdei. În comparație cu un răspuns normal al celulelor T, în care sub 0,001% din celulele T ale corpului sunt activate, răspunsul declanșat de SAgs include până la 20-30% din celulele T din organism. Oamenii de știință din cadrul John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health au explorat această ipoteză din perspectiva impactului asupra sănătății publice și sugerează că sunt necesare studii amănunțite asupra acestui subiect, care să influențeze politicile de tipul „imunitate de turmă” urmate de anumite guverne.

In the past, it was common for wives to stay at home to take care of the house and the children while husbands were the sole breadwinners. However, recently there has not only been the rise in dual-income households, but also stay-at-home dads. Yet, there is still stigma and misconceptions associated with stay-at-home dads. With the change in household roles, how do these husbands grapple with their identity and what can be done better to support stay home dads? On the second episode of the second season, host and Associate Director at the Institute of Policy Studies Liang Kaixin chats with Kelvin Seah, full-time stay home father of two, and Tam Wai Jia, a medical doctor whose husband left his career to be a stay home father, to talk about some of the challenges they face coming from ‘unconventional' households, the idea of masculinity and ways to support these families.

Keeping Kids Active During Online School (0:00:00) As a parent myself, I can relate to all you moms and dads out there who have struggled to watch your kids spend hours staring at a computer screen for school. The pandemic and remote schooling have robbed our kids of P.E, recess, after school sports, and many other physical activities that had been part of their daily routine. So, what can we do to help keep our kids healthy and active during this time of social distancing? Lucky for us, we are talking to Dr. Keshia Pollack Porter, Professor at John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, about this very topic.    Practicing Gratitude (0:35:32) As wonderful as the holidays are, at times it can be hard to keep that in perspective. All the stress of holiday cooking, and holiday shopping, and holiday family bonding time are opportunities for friction and little fires. Maybe it's something your sexist Uncle Jim said or the turkey you've just spent 5 hours cooking burned, or half of the guests showed up late. Whatever it is, there's bound to be something this holiday season that gets under your skin. Which is exactly why we should be practicing gratitude this holiday season and focusing on positive outcomes. Here to discuss how to focus on positive experiences this holiday season is friend of the show, Carrie Ann Rhodes.   Girls Can! (0:52:47) When I was a little girl there were a lot of things that girls supposedly “couldn't” do. Girls can't get dirty at recess, girls can't be as strong as boys, girls can't run for president. What if instead, we told our girls all the great things they can do? A new book is trying to do that—with GIRLS CAN! Smash Stereotypes, Defy Expectations, and Make History! Here to tell us more about what Girls Can! Is achieving is one of the co-authors, Marissa Sebastian!   The Social Dilemma (1:07:55) Who listening has had the chance to watch the Social Dilemma documentary? Whether you've seen it or not, the evolution of social media platforms has brought up dozens of debates on what's ethical and what's not in marketing. Joining us today is Prince Ghuman, CEO of neuromarketing company PopNeuro, here with us to talk about marketing, social media, and the neurological effects of both.   What They Don't Tell You about Entrepreneurship (1:28:23) Starting a business can be both intimidating and overwhelming if you've never done it before, especially if you're taking the risk of leaving your current job to do it. While you get advice from friends, books and the internet, much of your learning comes from hands-on experience. And unfortunately, there are still aspects of entrepreneurship that can catch you by surprise. So, we invited an expert on the matter to share what she's learned from experience as an entrepreneur, former corporate woman and now CEO of her own business MOMables . . . Laura Fuentes.

Thousands of supporters of President Donald Trump showed up in an indoor arena Saturday night for a rally that some fear could help fuel nascent spikes of coronavirus cases in some places, concerns that were amplified after six staffers helping to set up the event tested positive for the virus.State and city health department officials were already bracing for a possible surge in COVID-19 cases from large outdoor demonstrations against police brutality held across the country. Now the Trump rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, shaped up to be the first indoor event of such a massive scale since the coronavirus pandemic took hold and many states issued stay-at-home orders.More than 120,000 Americans have died from the coronavirus.During Saturday's rally, Trump told his supporters the United States has tested 25 million people, far more than any other country. He also told the crowd that more testing leads to finding more positive cases.Trump said that "so I said to my people slow the testing down, please."Officials said they expected 100,000 people from many states to converge on Tulsa for the rally and other events, but thousands of the BOK Center's 19,000 seats were empty for the rally. Supporters — most without masks — and hundreds of protesters filled streets Saturday around the stadium.The Trump campaign's communications director, Tim Murtaugh, said in a statement that "quarantine procedures" were immediately initiated and no staff member who tested positive would attend the event. Those who had immediate contact with them would also abstain.Brian Bernard sported a Trump 2020 hat on Saturday in downtown Tulsa, but no face covering. He said the numbers and media attention on coronavirus are artificially inflated, and that didn't stop him from making a nine-hour drive from his home in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to attend his second Trump rally."I haven't caught a cold or a flu in probably 15 years, and if I haven't caught a cold or flu yet, I don't think I'm gonna catch COVID," said the 54-year-old from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. "I don't think it's anything worse than the flu."The map of the outbreak in the U.S., and elsewhere, has become a patchwork, with infections falling in some areas and surging in others. In New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo didn't hold a televised coronavirus briefing for the first time in months Saturday — a sign of progress in the state that was home to the epicenter of the outbreak — though he did convene a conference call to make an announcement about baseball spring training.Other states are seeing increases, and Nevada and Arizona, for instance, have reported record single-day jumps in new cases in recent days.In Tulsa, health department officials have said two large indoor gatherings recently contributed to a spike in new cases. They declined to name the events or say how big they were, but the city has seen the largest increase in infections in Oklahoma in recent days. Several bordering states, including Arkansas, have also seen spikes in community spread of the virus in recent weeks.That is worrying some experts as Tulsa prepares again for Trump's large indoor gathering."I think there's no question that indoor events are more risky than outdoor events. But we don't really know how big that difference is. And certainly other aspects, like how tightly packed things are ... will make a big difference," said Justin Lessler, an associate professor of epidemiology at John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.Lessler said large events like the rally or the protests have the "potential to be super spreader events," but their potential to drive the pandemic is short-lived."The larger factor is what happens when people go home," he said. "If everybody goes home and doesn't respect the social distancing factors and goes out into the community, then they could push the spread."On its website, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that people hoping to attend an event take into...

Indigo Radio extended special on Epidemiology 101 with Dr. Luke Mullany. Luke has worked in the field of public health for over 20 years - he is a long-time Professor of International Health at the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and 2015 recipient of the JHU Global Achievement Award. He works currently as a Senior Scientist in the Applied Physics Lab at John Hopkins. Luke joins us to talk about the science of disease and viruses, answers many questions on the global pandemic, and shares his thoughts on our health system and his hopes for what's to come.

This show originally aired on July 25, 2018. Two years ago, Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security ran an intricate simulation of a rapidly spreading pandemic with government leaders to talk about the difficult ethical questions that arise in the event of a pandemic and the same questions we are confronting today. They learned what had to be done in the event of a real "Clade X". We haven't done it. The CDC said another pandemic was coming and that there was a good chance it President Trump would be confronted with it just as the two presidents before him. Yet, he cut funding for pandemic preparedness that has helped curb prior deadly global outbreaks and rid his administration of scientific advisors. Just under 150 million died globallyby the end of the Johns Hopkins simulation. It doesn't have to end this way or when the next pandemic hits. But the threat won't go away simply because we choose to ignore it.

We are so lucky to have her on the podcast as she is a renowned expert in emergency response and has been interviewed on several national and local media outlets about Covid-19. On this episode we discuss: Are face-masks beneficial for everyone to wear, or only specific people? What's the best material for a face-mask? Do cold temperatures kill the coronavirus? Will warm weather increase the spread of the virus? Were people infected with the virus as early as December 2019 and didn't know what it was? Did the lunar new year contribute to the spread of the virus? Is Covid-19 a bioweapon? How the virus was traced back to a particular bat population in China What the next few months could look like if states are not consistent with their stay-at-home orders The factors that are contributing to the virus spreading so quickly Why multi-family, low-income households are potentially more at risk Theories on the different mechanisms in play for how the virus operates in the body When it's the appropriate time to seek medical attention or call 911 Some positive outcomes and an expression of gratitude to essential service workers Sponsors: Formula nootropics: https://www.findmyformula.com/?rfsn=3819541.5e41a8 Listener discount code: biocurious Biostrap: https://biostrap.com/select-your-set/?ref=kaylaosterhoff.

March is Brain Injury Awareness and we're focusing our efforts on increasing awareness of traumatic brain injury and the challenge. Throughout the month, Mar and Jenn will speak with experts working in the field of TBI, provide strategies for coping and share resources to educate the community. In this episode of This Caregiver Life, we are joined by Alex Balbir, Ph.D. Alex serves as the Independence Services and Warrior Care Network Director at Wounded Warrior Project (WWP). A graduate of University North Carolina and John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Alex is also an officer in the US Navy Reserve. During our conversation with Alex, we explore the multi-layered topic of Traumatic Brain Injury, known as TBI. What is TBI? A TBI is caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head that disrupts the normal function of the brain. The severity of a TBI may range from “mild” (i.e., a brief change in mental status or consciousness) to “severe” (i.e., an extended period of unconsciousness or memory loss after the injury). People with TBI may experience moderate to severe disabilities that can interfere with their regular activities and quality of life. Cognitive function (e.g., impaired attention or memory); Motor function (e.g., extremity weakness or poor coordination and balance); Sensation (e.g., loss of hearing, vision, perception, or touch); and Emotion (e.g., depression, anxiety, aggression, loss of impulse control, or personality changes). Caring for loved one with TBI can be challenging, exhausting, and sometimes even overwhelming. In this episode, we discuss those challenges, the ways WWP helps veterans and caregivers, and ways we can all support those in our community who are living with TBI. Learn more about Wounded Warrior Project and its mission to WWP mission to honor and empower Wounded Warriors. https://www.woundedwarriorproject.org Have an idea for our podcast?

Our guest today is Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, the author of a fantastic new book titled The Public Health Crisis Survival Guide: Leadership and Management in Trying Times, published by Oxford University Press. This book is a great read for any leader, not just those in public health, since the lessons are so broadly applicable, and the stories are so fascinating.  Also recommended for consultants who want to know how to advise a client through a crisis. Josh is a physician and a public health leader who has held senior leadership roles at the city, state, and federal level.  He’s been the Commissioner of Health for the City of Baltimore, the Principal Deputy Commissioner at the FDA, and the Secretary of the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. And he is currently a Vice Dean at the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. In this episode, Josh shares stories of crises he faced – include one on the very first day on the job. The Public Health Crisis Survival Guide is not a dry manual – it is full of absolutely amazing stories – including the story of Frances Kelsey, the heroine of the FDA, who saved an untold number of American children from being born with birth defects because of her courageous refusal to approve thalidomide, despite industry pressure. The book has very practical advice on how to recognize a crisis, manage a crisis, communicate through a crisis, and work to prevent the next crisis, and it is highly recommended.
