Hello to you listening in Desert Hot Springs, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Recently a friend said that she was struggling because the job she had she didn't want, the job she wanted she didn't get, so she felt like a failure. Is there an alternative?What if we look objectively at the lost job opportunity as an experiment that didn't produce the expected results. Does that mean it failed? Not if we look at it as a data point, information pointing you in a better direction. Jonas Salk (American virologist & inventor of the polio vaccine) once said, “There is no such thing as a failed experiment, because learning what doesn't work is a necessary step to learning what does.” Or, as the famous American jazz musician Louis Armstrong said, “It's taken me all my life to learn what not to play.” Practical Tip: Think of a time when you believed you had failed but you figured out how to turn that experience into an opportunity and grow toward your better self. How did you do that? What will help you do it again and again? You will because you've got what it takes! You know how to experiment!You You're always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe and spread the word with a generous 5-star review and comment - it helps us all - and join us next time!Meanwhile, stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website to:✓ Check out Communication Services I Offer✓ For a no-obligation conversation about your communication challenges, get in touch with me today✓ Stay current with Diane on LinkedIn, as “Wyzga on Words” on Substack, and now Pandora Radio Stories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Mer's Waltz from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicAll content and image © 2019 to Present Quarter Moon Story Arts.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Richard Conniff discuss his book "Ending Epidemics," which explores the history of infectious diseases and vaccines. Richard highlights the evolution from ancient humoral theories, which thrived for nearly 2000 years, to modern germ theory, emphasizing the importance of cleanliness and vaccination. He recounts the development of the smallpox vaccine by Edward Jenner and the polio vaccine by Jonas Salk, noting initial resistance and the success of widespread vaccination. He also addresses the current resistance to COVID-19 vaccines, stressing the importance of balancing vaccine risks against disease risks. He also warns of the dangers of withdrawing from global health organizations like the WHO. Key Takeaways: The Semmelweis Reflex is the tendency of people to stick with what they already believe and ignore clear evidence that it's wrong. Smallpox has been eradicated. In many areas, they were still using Jenner's vaccine, which still worked up until 1980. With some viruses, illnesses are dormant but can crop up later in life, such as chickenpox and shingles. Viruses hide in the nervous system When you are thinking about vaccines, think about the disease, and then think about what the relative risk of the vaccine is versus the risk of the disease. "The problem is that people can develop these imaginary problems with vaccines because they do not have any conception of how awful the disease is that the vaccine is preventing." — Richard Conniff Episode References: Ending Epidemics: A History of Escape from Contagion - https://mitpress.mit.edu/9780262552974/ending-epidemics/ The Species Seekers: Heroes, Fools, and the Mad Pursuit of Life on Earth - https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393341324 Connect with Richard Conniff: Professional Bio: https://mitpress.mit.edu/author/richard-conniff-39217/ Website: https://strangebehaviors.wordpress.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-conniff-9689a02/ Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

Beharrlichkeit und die Verweigerung, die eigene Vision aufzugeben, lässt einen weitermachen, bis man es geschafft hat. Stelle dir das Leben ohne die Glühbirne oder den Impfstoff gegen Kinderlähmung vor. Dennoch durchlebten Thomas Edison und Jonas Salk endlose Zeiten der Prüfung und des Versagens, bis sie Erfolg hatten. Erfolgreiche Menschen nehmen ihre Misserfolge zur Kenntnis und lernen daraus. Sie untersuchen sie sorgfältig, finden heraus, was schiefgelaufen ist und benutzen dies, um ihre Fehler in Zukunft zu korrigieren. Oft fangen wir neue Projekte mit Begeisterung an. Die Neuheit dessen, was wir tun, treibt uns voran. Dann läuft etwas schief, und wir hören auf. Es sah einfacher aus, als es sich herausstellte, und wir sind nicht bereit, dranzubleiben. Also hören wir auf. Aber Gewinner geben nicht auf. Und als erlöstes Kind Gottes hast du einen großen Vorteil: „Meine Hilfe kommt vom Herrn“ (Ps 121,2 LU). Überlege dir das! Wenn der Herr jeder Situation und jedes Umstands dir hilft, wirst du dich schließlich durchsetzen. Du hast eine Quelle unerschöpflicher Kraft und Führung, aus der du schöpfen kannst. Mose durchlebte Kritik, Treuebruch und ständiges Gemecker, doch führte er die größte Migration in der Geschichte der Menschheit. Wie schaffte er das? „Er sah der großen Belohnung entgegen… ging unerschütterlich weiter, weil er den Blick fest auf den richtete, der unsichtbar ist“ (Hebr 11, 26-27 NLB). Richte deinen Blick also auf den Herrn und sieh deiner verheißenen Belohnung entgegen, und du wirst gewinnen.
Welcome to Hilary Topper on air. Today we will explore pivotal moments in medical history and their lasting impact on our world today. We will be delving into the story of polio—a disease that once gripped the world with fear and has since become a symbol of the power of vaccines. We'll discuss the polio epidemics of the 1940s and 50s, the groundbreaking vaccines that led to its decline, the emergence of post-polio syndrome, and the current status of polio globally. Polio in Children In the mid-20th century, polio was a name that struck fear into the hearts of families worldwide. This highly infectious disease, caused by the poliovirus, would often lead to paralysis and even death, predominantly affecting children. The epidemics of the 1940s and 50s were particularly severe, with thousands of cases reported annually in countries like the United States. Public pools were closed, and parents kept their children away from crowds, hoping to protect them from this invisible enemy. How it Impacted Me I talk about this topic because it actually affected me personally. You see, my mother, Phyllis Kahn Mass was a polio victim. Her parents thought she got it from a public pool. She was the only one in her class to have it and she was hospitalized for more than a year in an Iron lung. Iron Lung For those of you unfamiliar, the iron lung is a type of negative pressure ventilator, a mechanical respirator that was widely used in the mid-20th century, particularly during the polio epidemics. It was a large, horizontal cylinder that encases most of a patient's body, leaving only the head exposed. The device worked by varying the air pressure inside the cylinder to stimulate breathing, effectively assisting patients who have lost control of their respiratory muscles due to conditions like polio. The iron lung was invented by Philip Drinker and Louis Shaw in 1928 and became a crucial tool for treating respiratory failure caused by polio. During the polio outbreaks of the 1940s and 1950s, iron lungs were a common sight in hospitals, helping patients with paralyzed diaphragms breathe. Although largely obsolete today due to modern ventilators and the near eradication of polio, the iron lung remains an iconic symbol of the era. My Mother I remember my grandmother telling me that she went to the hospital every day but was unable to go near my mother because she had to wear a type of hazmat suit, in fear that she and my grandfather would carry the disease. My uncle was a little boy. He stayed with various relatives. When my mother finally got out of the hospital and came home, all of the friends she once had, were gone. They wanted nothing to do with her or her family. Everyone was a victim. A year or so later, they moved from the Bronx to Long Beach, Long Island. In 1955, Dr. Jonas Salk, developed the first effective polio vaccine. This injectable, inactivated vaccine was a breakthrough in medical science, offering hope to millions. A few years later, Dr. Albert Sabin introduced an oral vaccine, which became widely used due to its ease of administration and effectiveness. These vaccines drastically reduced polio cases, turning the disease from a public health crisis into a manageable condition. March of Dimes I remember my mother telling me about the march of dimes and how important they were to her. The March of Dimes, originally known as the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, played a crucial role in the fight against polio. Founded by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938, the organization was instrumental in funding research and supporting the development of the polio vaccine. Through widespread fundraising efforts, including the famous "March of Dimes" campaign, the organization raised significant funds to support scientists like Dr. Jonas Salk, who developed the first effective polio vaccine. This vaccine, announced in 1955, led to a dramatic decline in polio cases and was a pivotal moment in public health history. The March of Dimes' efforts not only helped eradicate polio in the United States but also set the stage for its ongoing mission to improve the health of mothers and babies. While the vaccines were successful in curbing new infections, many who had survived polio were left with lasting effects. Decades later, these individuals began experiencing new symptoms, a condition now known as post-polio syndrome (PPS). PPS manifests as muscle weakness, fatigue, and joint pain, occurring years after the initial recovery from polio. It's believed to result from the gradual deterioration of motor neurons that were previously damaged and then repaired during the original polio infection. Post Polio Although, polio has been nearly eradicated, thanks to the continued efforts of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, which began in 1988. Through comprehensive immunization campaigns, polio remains endemic in only a few regions. However, vigilance is key, as outbreaks can occur if vaccination efforts wane. The fight against polio continues, with a focus on reaching every child to ensure a world free from this disease. The disease unfortunately still affects those who were victims in their childhood. Although their symptoms improved and many were released from the hospital, when they reached middle age, the symptoms returned as post polio syndrome. Post-polio syndrome, or PPS, is a condition that can develop many years after a person has recovered from polio. It's estimated that a significant number of polio survivors experience PPS, where they encounter new symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, and joint pain. This syndrome arises because the motor neurons that were once damaged and adapted to regain function gradually deteriorate over time. This deterioration leads to the recurrence of symptoms, often affecting mobility and quality of life. Listen in to the rest of the podcast as I also interview Mary McManus, MSW, Author of A Most Unlikely Runner: Inspiration From the Heart of a Warrior, available on Amazon. Mary was also inflicted with the disease and now lives with Post Polio Syndrome.

Le vaccin contre la poliomyélite a connu un succès retentissant grâce à l'influence d'Elvis Presley, l'une des figures culturelles les plus emblématiques des années 1950. Le contexte historique est crucial : dans les années 1950, la poliomyélite était une maladie redoutée. La polio, comme on l'appelle souvent, est une maladie virale contagieuse causée par le poliovirus. Elle se transmet principalement par voie fécale-orale, via des aliments ou de l'eau contaminés. La plupart des infections sont asymptomatiques, mais chez certains, le virus peut attaquer le système nerveux central, provoquant des symptômes tels que fièvre, fatigue, maux de tête, et dans les cas graves, paralysie permanente.Le vaccin de Jonas Salk, introduit en 1955, était une avancée majeure, mais il restait le défi de convaincre le grand public de se faire vacciner.En 1956, le nombre de personnes vaccinées était insuffisant pour atteindre l'immunité collective. C'est dans ce contexte qu'Elvis Presley est intervenu. Lors de son apparition à l'émission télévisée très populaire "The Ed Sullivan Show" le 28 octobre 1956, Elvis a accepté de se faire vacciner contre la poliomyélite devant des millions de téléspectateurs. Cet acte public a été orchestré par des responsables de la santé publique conscients du pouvoir de persuasion des célébrités.L'impact de cette démarche a été immédiat et profond. Elvis Presley, à l'apogée de sa popularité, était un modèle pour des millions de jeunes. En se faisant vacciner publiquement, il a non seulement sensibilisé le public à l'importance du vaccin mais a aussi contribué à réduire la peur et la méfiance envers la vaccination. Les taux de vaccination ont augmenté significativement après cet événement, ce qui a aidé à contrôler et à éradiquer la maladie aux États-Unis. EN 6 mois, le taux de vaccination passa de 0,6 à 80 %.La participation d'Elvis Presley dans la campagne de vaccination contre la poliomyélite est un exemple frappant de la manière dont une célébrité peut influencer les comportements de santé publique. Son geste a démontré le pouvoir de l'exemple et a montré comment les figures culturelles peuvent jouer un rôle crucial dans la promotion de la santé publique. Hébergé par Acast.

Het boek dat we vandaag, in de honderste (!) aflevering bespreken is Morele ambitie van Rutger Bregman. We kregen het boek in digitale vorm voor de datum van uitgifte. Rond de publicatiedatum op 19 mrt 2024 hebben we de opname samen met Jelle van Baardewijk voor De Nieuwe Wereld gepubliceerd en gedeeld. Het boek zette mij aan het denken, doe ik wel genoeg? Wat kan ik doe dat veel meer effect heeft. Dat had ik ook al na het lezen van The life you can save. Ik heb mijn gedachten en gedrag over het geven van geld aan goede doelen na het lezen van dat boek veranderd. Naar aanleiding van interviews in aanloop naar de boeklancering kwam Rutger ook in wat negatief daglicht. Mede omdat hij meer geld wil steken in vaccins en wapens. Maar de kern van het boek en de denkwijze van Bregman is duidelijk, de meeste mensen doen lang niet genoeg. Ze verkwisten hun kennis, expertise, tijd en aandacht aan zaken die geen verschil maken, of erger nog ze staan aan de verkeerde kant van de geschiedenis. Mooie voorbeelden van mensen die het verschil hebben gemaakt in de (recente) geschiedenis. Proloog. Het geheim van de gelukkigste man op aarde Hoofdstuk 1.

Deze levenshouding lijkt kenmerkend voor een flink deel van generatie z, mensen die geboren zijn na 1996 lijkt het hoogste ideaal om überhaupt geen impact te hebben. Dan wordt een goed leven vooral gedefinieerd aan de hand van wat je níét doet. Niet vliegen. Geen vlees. Geen kinderen. En vooral geen plastic rietje! Minder, minder, minder. Het streven is zo'n klein mogelijke voetafdruk met je moestuin naast je tiny house. In het beste geval is je impact zo klein dat je net zo goed niet had kunnen bestaan. Kan het anders? Stel dat je de ambitie van een carrièretijger neemt en er een flinke scheut idealisme aan toevoegt. Wat krijg je dan? Thomas Clarkson is een zekere mate van privilege.

Be it LA, NYC, or RI—always be kind. You never know who's going to turn up in the stories on Elly McGuire's podcast, Shaking The Bushes—Yoko Ono, Jonas Salk, Richard Hatch (Richard Hatch?), even a former President, to name a few—as she shares humorous and often unpredictable autobiographical anecdotes and social commentary about living parallel lives in her "cozy" apartment in Manhattan and her childhood home in Warwick, Rhode Island. What you think might be so different from residing in the biggest city in the world and in the smallest state in the union can actually turn out to be very much the same.

On April 12, 1955, Dr. Thomas Francis, Jr. announced to the world that Dr. Jonas Salk's polio vaccine was safe, effective, and potent. This medical breakthrough cemented Dr. Salk's legacy and made polio eradication a possibility. His son, Dr. Peter Salk, is the president and director of the Jonas Salk Legacy Foundation, also serving as a professor of infectious diseases and microbiology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health. The Rotary magazine team recently spoke with him to discuss immunizations and polio eradication.
"Noo. ¿Acaso se puede patentar el Sol?" Así de ingenuo e inocente contestaba el científico Dr. Jonas Salk cuando le preguntaban si iba a patentar la (primera) vacuna más importante del mundo hasta la fecha. ¿Cómo patentar unas moléculas de bioquímica...? "Es algo que está ahí". "Es Universal. Como el Sol..." Así de natural y normal debía pensar el científico para responder si acaso podía patentarse/apropiarse del Sol... Falleció en 1995, tiempo para ver cómo se privatizaba la ciencia a medida que las élites mundiales (el Capital) se apropiaban de investigaciones científicas bajo el nombre/propiedad de Corporaciones con su adorado, idolatrado, capitalismo y piramidalismo Esta es la historia de cómo el joven Dr. Jonas Salk y su equipo de investigación en la Universidad de Pittsburgh, aúnan sus esfuerzos en la década de 1950 para derrotar la poliomielitis, la enfermedad más temida del siglo 20.

Polio was one of the scourges of the 20th century. And it mainly struck children. All of a sudden a person contracted polio and suffered terribly for several days; sometimes they recovered, sometimes they died, and sometimes they were left permanently disabled. The most famous polio victim of all time, Franklin Roosevelt, hid his disability from the public. But this story has a true hero: Jonas Salk, who developed a vaccine which led to the almost complete eradication of this dreaded disease. And Dr. Salk never patented the vaccine or earned any money from his discovery.

Hello to you listening in Desert Hot Springs, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Recently a friend said that she was struggling because the job she had she didn't want, the job she wanted she didn't get, so she felt like a failure. Is there an alternative?What if we look objectively at the lost job opportunity as an experiment that didn't produce the expected results. Does that mean it failed? Not if we look at it as a data point, information pointing you in a better direction. Jonas Salk (American virologist & inventor of the polio vaccine) once said, “There is no such thing as a failed experiment, because learning what doesn't work is a necessary step to learning what does.” Or, as the famous American jazz musician Louis Armstrong said, “It's taken me all my life to learn what not to play.” Practical Tip: Think of a time when you believed you had failed but you figured out how to turn that experience into an opportunity and grow toward your better self. How did you do that? What will help you do it again and again? You will because you've got what it takes! You know how to experiment!You You're always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe, share a 5-star rating + nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!Meanwhile, stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website to:✓ Check out What I Offer,✓ Arrange your free Story Start-up Session,✓ Opt In to my NewsAudioLetter for bonus gift, valuable tips & techniques to enhance your story work, and✓ Stay current with Diane on LinkedIn.Stories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Mer's Waltz from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicAll content and image © 2019 to Present Quarter Moon Story Arts.

It's a special edition of the Friday news roundup! There's a lot we could say about this year, but we've decided to focus on the good. We're wrapping up 2023 by highlighting the best stories in the Burgh, including the return of McCutchen and grilled stickies, a bunch of milestone anniversaries, improvements to city landmarks, and a few funny mishaps along the way. Only happy news to close out the year! We always cite our sources: Virginia Montanez wrote about the best things that happened in Pgh in her newsletter, Breathing Space. Some big things we didn't touch on in this episode include last month's election, smoke from the Canadian wildfires, conversations about mental health sparked by Fetterman's hospital stay, the East Palestine train derailment, and the verdict of the synagogue shooting trial. For their 125th anniversaries, friend of the pod Mark Houser talked about the opening of the zoo and how Kennywood became the roller coaster capitol of the world. We interviewed the city's first openly gay police chief, and he shared his coming out story on the podcast. Dr. Jonas Salk was a key figure in developing the polio vaccine, and you can learn more about this work at an exhibit at Pitt Public Health.

Before Dr. Jonas Salk, polio killed or paralyzed more than a half million people worldwide every year, and survivors often faced lifelong consequences. Host Megan Harris & producer Maria Carter talk through his mid-century, lifesaving developments for the University of Pittsburgh, how the disease had been terrorizing local parents and kids, and how thousands of Pittsburgh-area children ultimately helped Salk and his team refine the groundbreaking vaccine—starting with Salk's own sons. The new Jonas Salk Legacy Exhibit at Pitt Public Health is free and open to the public during regular building hours. Learn more about his son, part-time Pitt professor Dr. Peter Salk, here.
