Breakpoints joins forces with CMI Communications' Communicable podcast to discuss the highly anticipated SNAP trial updates presented at ESCMID Global 2025. Hosts Drs. Erin McCreary and Angela Huttner interview SNAP trial investigators, Drs. Joshua Davis and Steven Tong, on results from penicillin-susceptible and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus domains. Conflict of Interest for DSMC Members: Conflicts of interest were evaluated when choosing individuals to serve on the SNAP DSMC. Aside from being compensated for their duties on the committee, DSMC members have no ongoing financial relationship that relate to the trial and are not involved in the conduct of the trial in any role other than that of a DSMC member. DSMC members have no intellectual conflict of interest or bias and reviewed SNAP data in a fully objective manner. Each DSMC candidate was well vetted.

In this first-ever collaboration between Communicable and Breakpoints, the podcast of the US Society of Infectious Diseases Pharmacists, hosts Angela Huttner (Geneva, Switzerland) and Erin McCreary (Pittsburgh, USA) join trial investigators Josh Davis (Newcastle, Australia) and Steve Tong (Melbourne, Australia) to unpack the first results coming from the SNAP adaptive platform trial, which were recently presented at ESCMID Global in Vienna. Learn whether penicillin and cefazolin are non-inferior to—and maybe even safer than—flucloxacillin for penicillin-susceptible and methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus, respectively.This episode was edited by Julie Anne Justo, transcribed by Katie Lambert and Sarah Groom, and peer-reviewed by Megan Klatt and Lacy Worden. Note on conflict of interest for SNAP Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC) members:Conflicts of interest were evaluated when choosing individuals to serve on the SNAP DSMC. Aside from being compensated for their duties on the committee, DSMC members have no ongoing financial relationships that relate to the trial and are not involved in the conduct of the trial in any role other than that of a DSMC member.

Maurice Enriquez-Sarano, MD, FACC JACC: Case Reports Associate Editor, is joined by author Emmanuel Daniel, MD, discussing this study from Daniel et al presented at ACC.25 and published in JACC: Case Reports. Large lead-associated vegetations carry a significant risk of pulmonary embolism with hemodynamic instability when transvenous lead extraction is attempted. In this case, a 54-year-old male came to the hospital with fever and dyspnea. He was found to have MSSA bacteremia and a large RV lead vegetation on echo. He had multiple co-morbidities and was a high-risk surgical candidate. He underwent successful vegetation aspiration using the Flowtriever system, followed by endovascular lead extraction.

I presume the lead story in the Herald on Sunday was welcomed by police and those behind our stronger gun laws.   An Auckland pensioner and his daughter have been caught for legally buying 13 guns for the Comancheros motorcycle gang.   It's the latest of dozens of discoveries by police of licensed gun owners buying for gangs who cannot legally purchase guns.   It was validation of good old-fashioned police work. Over the past 4 years the police have analysed more than 350,000 sales records looking for suspicious patterns of spending.    They then correlate the purchases with the records of gun owners, and they discover the gang's straw buyers.   But to me, it also validates the strengthening of the laws back in 2019 after the Christchurch mosque massacre.   That saw the banning of military-style semi-automatics, stricter rules on the “fit and proper” test to hold a license, the establishment of a gun registry, and a set of rules designed to ensure gun clubs and ranges are safe places.   At the time, gun owners made out that the laws criminalised legal gun owners which was a massive over-exaggeration.  It criminalised a type of gun only. A type of gun that non MSSA owners find intimidating and unnecessary. A gun that turns any idiot into a killing machine as long as they can handle the recoil.   And the new rules also told the citizens of New Zealand that ownership of a gun is not a right but a privilege that must be earned.     But they also say that once it's earnt there's no problem at all as long as it's not a military-style automatic.   And slowly it's beginning to make sense to even the law's hardest detractors.   Act campaigned on a full repeal of the legislation and the minister in charge is Act's Nicole Mckee   She is also the former spokesperson for the council of licensed firearms owners.   She was also interviewed in the paper yesterday where she said gun owners hoping for a rollback will be disappointed.   Act campaigned on greater access to MSSAs and scrapping the gun registry, but these didn't make it into coalition agreements.   Instead, the National-Act agreement committed to repealing the regulations around gun clubs and shooting ranges - which Mckee has now backed off from doing completely - a review of the registry and a rewrite of the arms act.   But, at the moment, the laws are being seen to work.  And here's the rub.  If you support getting tough on crime then you must also support getting tough on gun ownership.  LISTEN ABOVE.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Work life balance; there's not such a dichotomy. It's not like either/or. Work is part of our life. So how you choose to make your livelihood has to be some expression of who you are." Courtney is so excited to be welcoming Debra Laks to the show! If Courtney wasn't already living her dream job, Debra's would be it! A clinical career counselor, specializing in "confusion reduction", Debra helps people find balance, fit, and fulfillment in their occupational pursuits. Courtney's interest in the field of career counseling is born of her own career confusion, a common theme of her lamentations from approximately 1998 through 2008, and served as entryway into the field of counseling and mental health. In this wide ranging conversation, Debra and Courtney discuss the fallacy of "work-life balance", explore the ways career is tied to identity, and the importance of self-knowing. This leads, of course, to a little side discussion on one of Courtney's favorite topics: personality metrics! A lively discourse on Myers-Briggs typology, Holland codes, and astrology ensues! Debra and Courtney also talk about the impact of, and lessons from, the COVID era, the role capitalism plays in our career choices, identity, and satisfaction, and the ways our work lives are changing in the 21st century. They also reflect on trauma v. burnout v. emotional fatigue, and the role of meaning making in career wellbeing. Debra shares a bucketload of resources with listeners including https://www.themuse.com/, https://www.tealhq.com/, https://www.truity.com/, and https://www.onetonline.org/. Also mentioned as career related resources are local libraries and college career centers, when applicable. You can learn more about working with Debra by visiting her Psychology Today profile. About our guest: Debra Laks, MSSA, LMHC is a Clinical Career Counselor and NYS Licensed Mental Health Counselor, in private practice since 1986.

Her approach focuses on helping clients formulate a personal definition of success and map out viable strategies for actualizing goals. She provides a framework for facilitating career decision-making, advancement and change through supportive, solution-focused counseling and assessment. Debra is a graduate of The National Institute for the Psychotherapies' one-year program, Psychodynamic Approaches in Clinical Practice.  She currently serves on the Boards of the Career Development Specialists Network (CDSN) and the Middle Atlantic Career Counseling Association (NACCA).

The online user is in a symbiotic relationship with the virtual world, which is optimal for dependency and cultural scripting. Big Tech is our Momma who bounces us on her knee and tells us how to live. The user is Mindless (passive) and Joyless (split from the body): a state of simple consciousness (i.e., Infant). This dependency contract (Mother-Infant) and the technological form holds us in place (e.g., in front of a desk or clutching a device). We brand and curate our online persona to make an Empire of the Self. The script is to become the Top Gun in order to “win” in the entrepreneurial game. To make oneself into a perfected trophy that goes “viral”. YouTube's slogan is “Broadcast Yourself,” which means track, record, upload, share, and incorporate the self for monetization. The mass shooter is the grandiose reflection of this scripting. Their act is neo-fascistic and imperialistic (i.e., a forced symbiosis for domination). For many of the killers, the Columbine massacre is the model that is remodeled: a performance of exhibitionistic revenge (violence/suicide) intended for online virality. The solution is to meet passivity (violence) with consciously passive behavior (withdrawal, contemplation, meditation). A stay-at-home-day where we connect and love one another. From the MSSA conference material (description and learning objectives): In the U.S., 51 people die from mass shootings each year. However, over 100 people are killed by guns each day. What do we know about American culture, violence, and mass shooters in the U.S.? How does online self-promotion for Likes and Friends relate to these phenomena? This lecture will present data on mass shootings, analyses of Big Tech, and illustrations of American culture to comprehend the truth of the present situation. Learning Objective 1: Learn the statistics on mass shooters and their personality structure. Learning Objective 2: Explore the U.S. cultural scripting related to competition and violence, i.e., passive means to solve problems. Learning Objective 3: Examine the connective links between Big Tech, fame-seeking, and mass shootings. www.StayAtHomeDay.com Visit MankatoTherapist.com for more information and to contact Andrew Archer.

New dipole instabilities in spherical stellar systems by Martin D. Weinberg. on Thursday 15 September Spherical stellar systems have weakly-damped response modes. The dipole modes are seiche modes. The quadrupole are zero pattern-speed prolate modes, the stable precursors to the radial-orbit instability (ROI). We demonstrate that small deviations in the distribution function (DF) can destabilise the dipole modes and describe the newly identified instabilities in NFW-like dark-matter (DM) halos and power-law spherical systems. The modes were identified in N-body simulations using multivariate singular spectrum analysis (MSSA) and corroborated using linear-response theory. The new mode peaks inside the half-mass radius but has a pattern speed typical of an outer-halo orbit. As it grows, the radial angle of the eccentric orbits that make up the mode correlate and lose angular momentum by a resonant couple to outer-halo orbits. This leads to an unsteady pattern with a density enhancement that swings from one side of the halo to another along a diameter, like the orbits that comprise the instability. In this way, the dipole mode is similar to the ROI. Since the DF found in Nature is unlikely to be smooth and isotropic with $df(E)/dE

On this episode you'll hear a recording of a lecture by Andrew Archer. The event was part of an annual social services conference in Minneapolis, MN (3/16/22). The title was, Craving: What the Virtual World is Doing to Us & What We Can Do About It. The audio begins with the title slide that has three separate writings continuously scrolling across the screen (i.e., an algorithm): “Americans average 12 hours of digital electronic media per day,” “Human-Machine Symbiosis,” and “Algorithms reflexively predict what we will want to hook us into an endless cycle of craving.”

One of my favorite things about this podcast is that it has allowed me to meet fantastic people. Today's guest I met at The Hang a few months ago, and we instantly hit it off. His name is John Sandford and even though he lives 15 miles east of Oxford, and I live outside of Atlanta, our passion for water treatment has made us lifelong friends.   He has a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for improving the standards of the industry he works in. John is going to give you some insight into how our colleagues across the pond test and treat Legionella bacteria and what their government requires of them.    To give you some background, John Sandford CMIOSH is the Director of Water Hygiene Specialists at SMS Environmental. He has four offices across the U.K., and over 140 employees, over 30 years of practical and research experience in the field of water treatment and Legionella and has expertise in the application of Health and Safety in this area.    John is on the council of the Water Management Society (WMSoc), one of the founders and Health and Safety Director at SMS Environmental, and he is a UKAS accredited Legionella Risk Assessment provider which is and a national supplier of water hygiene services to over 1000 organizations across the U.K.    As many of you know, the U.S. is one of the slowest countries to create legislation around Legionella testing and mitigation. It's only a matter of time for those changes to be written; just ask any water treater living in New York. I would encourage all my listeners to be proactive by learning what other countries are doing in the field that they work in.    Bottom line: Nation, when you are aware of what other countries are doing, you can prepare for the unknowns before your local government takes steps towards any new Legionella legislation.  Your roadside friend, as you travel from client to client. -Trace     Timestamps:   Introducing business owner and water hygiene professional, John Sandford [5:50]  Water certifications in the U.K. [14:10]  Understanding Legionella mitigations and regulations in the U.S.A. vs. U.K. [21:40]  What happens in the U.K. when the government finds a breach of health and safety?

Recently I moderated a panel with Cleveland Area Healthcare leaders and Ohio Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, representing Ohio's 9th Congressional District, to discuss constricted access to social services. The virtual event was hosted by CareAdvisors, a healthcare technology firm.  They had recently done a survey of Greater Cleveland social workers to determine what needs had changed because of the pandemic, and more importantly, what are their clients saying are their biggest concerns.  The responses were eye opening.   Panelists included; Terrance “Terry” Byrne, MBA, MJ, FACHE, vice president of Health Center Operations, at Neighborhood Family Practice Community Health Centers; Dr. Patricia Lyons, PhD, LISW-S, owner of Lyons Counseling and Consultation Services, president of the Columbus Association of Black Social Workers, and director of the Molina Healthcare Social Determinants of Health Innovation Center; Dr. Michelle Medina, MD, FAAP, associate chief of population health at Cleveland Clinic; Margaret Mitchell, president and cEO, YWCA Greater Cleveland; Dr. Adam T. Perzynski, PhD, associate professor of medicine and sociology, MetroHealth and Case Western Reserve University; and Lisa S. Weitzman, MSSA, LISW-S, ASW-G, C-ASWCM, WeCare manager of business development, at the Benjamin Rose Institute on Aging. During the roundtable, panelists discussed lessons learned and innovative ways that their organizations have increased services and shared resources. Specifically, they tackled issues of vaccine hesitancy, food insecurity, health disparities, how to incorporate social determinants of health into their delivery systems, the shift in priorities due the COVID-19, and the impact of the digital divide for aging and other vulnerable communities.

Does your child struggle with anxiety? Have you found yourself accommodating anxious behavior? Maybe you are not inviting friends over if your child has social anxiety or repeatedly answering the calls of a child with separation anxiety. In some cases, this can only perpetuate the symptoms of anxiety. Join Beth Mishkind Roth, MSSA, LISW-S of Cleveland Integrative Counseling, to learn how altering your response can help de-escalate your child’s behavior and help them gain confidence in their ability to cope. Beth will introduce SPACE (Supportive Parenting Through Anxious Childhood Emotions), a program which parents and caregivers learn that by changing their own behavior, they can avoid much of the escalation that stems from trying to force their child to act differently.

Sign up for the full show at hippoed.com/PEDSRAPPOD. Pediatric ID specialist Michael Neely, MD, and Michael Cosimini, MD discuss how cephalosporins work and which bugs they do and do not kill. Pearls: In general, cephalosporins do not cover anaerobes, enterococcus, listeria and MRSA. Oral cephalosporins are generally not first line in pediatrics.  Some exceptions include the treatment of UTIs and some skin and soft tissue infections; group A strep and sinopulmonary infections in penicillin allergic patients are other common indications. 1st generation cephalosporins do have gram positive coverage, but do not work well against strep pneumo, MRSA, enterococcus. They do cover some enteric gram negative bacteria, the “PECK” organisms.   What are cephalosporin antibiotics and how do they compare to penicillins?  Chemically, both penicillins and cephalosporins are beta-lactam antibiotics, with the beta-lactam portion responsible for bacterial killing.  The chemical portions off the beta-lactam ring make the antibiotics different. Beta-lactam antibiotics work by binding to the penicillin-binding protein on the bacterial cell wall.  These proteins have structural functions that maintain the integrity of the bacterial cell wall and therefore, when these antibiotics bind, the penicillin-binding protein is disrupted, the cell wall falls apart and the bacterial dies.       How do you keep a straight spectrum of activity for antibiotics?  To help with this, think of bacteria into big categories: gram-positive, gram-negative and “other”. Gram-positive bacteria include: Staph aureus (MSSA, MRSA), Streptococcus (Group A Strep, Group B Strep, Strep pyogenes, Strep viridans), Enterococcus, Pneumococcus, Listeria Gram-negative bacteria are a much bigger group and can be divided into: Respiratory gram-negatives include Moraxella, Haemophilus, Meningococcus Enteric gram-negatives include the “PECK” bacteria: Proteus, E.coli, Klebsiella What bacteria do cephalosporins not cover?  In general, cephalosporins do not cover anaerobic bacteria, enterococcus, listeria and MRSA.  There are a few exceptions to this rule. Cefoxitin (a second generation cephalosporin), for example, does have anaerobic coverage.  It is commonly used in the treatment of PID as it covers enteric anaerobes and Neisseria gonorrhea. There is a 5th generation cephalosporin that does cover MRSA (discussed later). Are cephalosporins well absorbed?  Generally speaking, cephalosporins in oral formulations are not as well absorbed as penicillins and are more difficult to get where they need to go outside the urinary tract. Also, generally speaking, no beta-lactam really gets into the spinal fluid in very high concentrations; all of them do have better penetration when there is inflammation.  Practically, remember that the penetration into the CSF between ampicillin and ceftriaxone is negligible. What bacteria do first generation cephalosporins cover?  Although the classic teaching is that cephalosporins are good for gram-positive coverage (staph and strep), this is not a hard and fast rule.  As stated, enterococcus is not covered by any cephalosporin and MRSA is not covered by most cephalosporins.  First generation cephalosporins are also good for coverage of the “PECK” enteric gram negative bacteria, but not good for coverage of other gram negative bacteria.  These organisms tend to cause UTIs and therefore, first generation cephalosporins (for example, cephalexin) are frequently used for UTI treatment. Of course, resistance can occur.    Even though strep pneumo is a gram-positive organism, when it comes to first generation cephalosporins, it acts like a gram-negative organism and therefore, first generation cephalosporins do not work well against strep pneumo.   What about bacteria that develop resistance?  A patient with an E. Coli UTI, for example, may have a microbiology laboratory report stating that the E. Coli is resistant to a first generation cephalosporin but the patient is still getting better.  This may have to do with the type of infection the patient had; for example, a healthy patient with a simple cystitis may have been able to stay well hydrated and the normal immune system was able to clear the E. Coli. This question can also be answered in the context of breakpoints, that is when the bacteria become susceptible or resistant to the antibiotic depending on the site of infection.  Some labs will actually label a bacteria resistant or susceptible depending on whether the infection is in the urine, spinal fluid or blood. Therefore, if a lab that reports site-specific breakpoints suggests that an E. Coli is resistant to a first generation cephalosporin in the urine, the lab has already taken into account the higher concentration of drug in the urine.  Similarly, a pneumococcal isolate that may be resistant to ceftriaxone in the CNS may be susceptible to ceftriaxone as a pneumonia because there are much higher concentrations of ceftriaxone in the lungs than in the spinal fluid. When should a skin or soft tissue infection be treated with a first-generation cephalosporin?  When should MRSA be suspected? This can be a tricky question as an outpatient, but there are some clues to gauge whether or not the infection may be caused by MRSA.   One, it is helpful to know the community prevalence of MRSA.  In some communities, community acquired staph aureus infections are up to 80-90% MRSA.  In these communities, MRSA coverage should of course be given. If the prevalence is much lower, using a first generation cephalosporin, such as cephalexin may be reasonable.   Other clues can be more specific to the patient the their families.  Is the patient or family known to be colonized with MRSA? Have they had an MRSA infection in the past? If MRSA coverage is needed, either trimethoprim-sulfa or clindamycin generally is a good approach.  A randomized controlled trial published in the NEJM showed no difference in outcomes when treating a known MRSA infection. Miller LG et al.  Clindamycin versus trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for uncomplicated skin infections.  N Engl J Med. 2015 Mar 19;372(12): 1093-103. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25785967 In general, the quality of the infection does not help point to MRSA or not.  There is some suggestion that if there is a soft-tissue abscess this is more likely staph aureus and if there is just pure erythema, tenderness and warmth without abscess, this is more likely to be Group A strep.   Remember, no matter what antibiotic is started for cellulitis (or any infection, for that matter), follow up is essential.  If you are on the right antibiotics, cellulitis should be improving within 24 hours.

En el marco del Día del Patrimonio dedicamos la #4 sesión de Irrupciones en el MAC a los desafíos de conservación y puesta en valor de obras con tecnología que las artes mediales producen cada vez con mayor ritmo y cómo los museos de Chile y el mundo se están preparando para asumir los nuevos desafíos que ello supone para el actual manejo de colecciones. Para ello invitamos a las historias del arte Caroll Yasky y Pamela Navarro, encargadas de las colecciones del Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende y del Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de la Universidad de Chile respectivamente. Como responsables del acervo público que ambos museos ponen a disposición de la comunidad y de las futuras generaciones, las especialistas abordan las implicancias de la obsolescencia tecnológica, la necesidad de pensar en nuevos paradigmas de conservación, así como los límites de la preservación y el vértigo de pensar el futuro de las colecciones de arte contemporáneo. Formadas en la Facultad de Artes de la Universidad de Chile, en el Departamento de Teoría e Historia del Arte, Caroll Yasky realizó un magíster en administración de museos en la City Universidad de Londres (UK) y Pamela Navarro se especializó en gestión cultural en su alma mater. Durante varios años trabajaron juntas en la Unidad de Conservación y Documentación del MAC, donde Caroll fue coordinadora antes de emigrar al MSSA como responsable de la colección de arte contemporáneo internacional más diversa a nivel nacional. Desde entonces Pamela ha estado a cargo de la colección del MAC, impulsando nuevas investigaciones sobre su patrimonio.

Actress Leslie Ash (Quadrophenia, Men Behaving Badly, Holby City) joins Chris & Leon to talk about how she is dealing with isolation. Having had her fair share of trauma (she was hospitalised and bedridden for 3 months with the superbug MSSA) she is not as anxious as some about her time in lock down.She gives us a little peek into her life with footballer Lee Chapman as she tells us that she misses the pub the most, has resorted to cutting Lee's hair and enjoys the weekends with a couple of bottles of Merlot.She is also setting up a business that helps new authors get their worked aired as well as making charitable donations to out of work actors and the NHS. An all round British Icon and good egg.

My conversation with former Microsoft Software and Systems Academy (MSSA) Site Manager now Operations Project Manager for MSSA, Candina “Dina” Janicki features a discussion of the dynamics of transition for military spouses, particularly when it comes to career, and how establishing a framework and identifying things you can, should, will and won't do for your career can be game changing as you go from duty station to duty station. We explore why career continuity isn't always what we think it should look like but is achievable depending on how you look here. Dina and I dive into a few key approaches that I hope will help those of you who might be in a place of transition right now think about how to frame things as you move forward.

Join the EMGuideWire crew once again for this month's series on Sepsis in honor of Sepsis Awareness month. Episode 3 will cover antibiotic use and selection. Antibiotics for Sepsis Take a history and perform a chart biopsy first! Consider past infections, bug susceptibilities, healthcare acquired vs. community acquired infection, foreign travel, and comorbidities.  Always check local antibiogram and prior culture results. Septic shock - Start broad spectrum antibiotics within 1 hour. Stable patient - find the source! UA, CXR, and a good skin exam are fast and can help guide antibiotic choice. Remember some patients need surgical management!  Antibiotic choice in septic shock. 1st agent - Piperacillin/Tazobactam (covers GP/GN + Pseudo)  2nd agent - Choose based on patient characteristics Ceftriaxone - simple community acquired infections. Vancomycin - covers MRSA. Meropenem - use for patients with a hx of ESBL. Flagyl + cefepime/meropenem - Use for intra-abdominal infections. Clindamycin - Useful for skin infections (toxin suppression).  Cefazolin - IV line infections, endocarditis, soft tissue infections w/o MRSA (covers MSSA, GAS, GBS).  Summarized by: Travis Barlock, MD PGY-1 References: Alam N et al. 2018.

More patients are being admitted to the hospital with skin problems, and specialized dermatologists are needed to provide effective treatment. Dr. Vincent DeLeo talks with Dr. Michi M. Shinohara about the evolving role of the dermatology hospitalist in the inpatient setting. Dr. Shinohara highlights some key takeaways about job satisfaction and barriers to care from a recent survey of members of the Society for Dermatology Hospitalists. We also bring you the latest dermatology news and research: 1. Cephalosporins remain empiric therapy for skin infections in pediatric atopic dermatitis “When a patient with AD walks into your office and looks like they have an infection of their eczema, your go-to antibiotic is going to be one that targets MSSA [methicillin‐sensitive Staphylococcus aureus].” 2. Should you market your aesthetic services to the ‘Me Me Me Generation’? By 2020, spending by millennials will account for $1.4 trillion in U.S. retail sales. Things you will learn in this episode: Inpatient care is getting increasingly complex, but dermatology has become more outpatient-centric overall: “There has really been a shift over time from dermatologists acting as the primary admitting service to more of a consulting service,” Dr. Shinohara explains. As a result, inpatient dermatology has become more specialized, leading to the development of the dermatology hospitalist. The Society for Dermatology Hospitalists was created in 2009 by a group of medical dermatologists to develop the highest standards of clinical care in hospitalized patients with skin disease. Most requests for inpatient dermatology consultations come from medical services for conditions commonly seen in an outpatient clinic. However, the hematology/oncology service is a common source of dermatology consultations, requiring a separate knowledge base. Dermatology hospitalists typically dedicate 25%-50% of their time on inpatient consultations. Time that dermatology hospitalists spend in the hospital is fundamentally different than time spent in clinic: “You have a lot more time to think about your patients and to teach about them to your trainees,” Dr. Shinohara notes. “It’s really one of the few places that I find you still have the opportunity to work as a team together.” Personal fulfillment is high among dermatology hospitalists, which can help combat burnout. A key challenge that dermatology hospitalists face is that most don’t generate the same revenue doing consultations as they do in clinic. Financial support from medical institutions and recognition of the value of the work is crucial to the longevity of dermatology hospitalists, who tend to be a younger workforce.

Danny Chung is an positive example of a Veteran that found a way to give back to the transitioning active-duty community.  Danny’s team is trying to do is fill a gap in the civilian workforce. At any given time, there are over 500,000 open jobs in the computer industry. The current education system is producing only 49,000 computer science majors a year. Danny’s goal is to fill the gap with a portion of the 250,000 service-members that leave active duty every year. One solution is the Microsoft Software and Systems Academy (MSSA). It is an 18-week course that active duty can take on base towards the end of their service. They offer training in high demand fields like cloud development, cloud administration, cybersecurity, databases and business intelligence administration. In addition, graduates are guaranteed an interview with Microsoft or an industry partner. There are currently 15 military bases that offer the MSSA. Currently, Danny’s biggest drive is to help military spouses find gainful employment in the technology industry. The Military Spouse Technology Academy is an effort by Danny’s team to combat the military spouse 18% unemployment and 53% underemployment rates. In addition, we talk about his service, difficulties transitioning during the Great Recession, and his feelings on artificial intelligence taking over the planet.

Vi är redan en vecka in på 2019 vilket betyder att årets första spel snart ska inhandlas. Vi tar en titt på alla speltitlar som har fått ett release datum, för att se vilka vi behöver handla och vilka vi inte är intresserade av. Andra halvan av 2019 kan bli riktigt bra om alla titlar med TBA får ett datum.

Det finns några stycken stora spel studios med många spel under sig. Varför har vissa lyckats så bra medans andra försvinner. I veckans avsnitt pratar vi om spelstudios vi gillar, inte gillar längre och de studios som hat stupat under åren. Vi är äntligen klara med shadow of the tomb raider och levererar en sen recension på spelet.

Avsnitt 50!!! Vi har snart spelat in podden under ett års tid. Vi firar vårast 50 avsnitt med att prata om de spel vi absolut älskar mest. Vi har alla gjort en top fem lista på våra all time favorite games och lägger fram dem för er. Vi har också valt att välja ett spel per serie, annars hade våra listor vart ganska ensidiga. 

Det finns ingen som är bättre på att döda monster än Geralt. Vi tar oss igenom alla de tre spelen + Thronbreaker och allt vi vet om den nya serien i veckans avsnitt. Halo serien börjar filma nästa år, Xbox game pass till pc och mycket mer i veckans avsnitt.

Lana gjorde vi mycket som små, även vart på på ett och annat Dreamhack. Nu när vi har blivit äldre har det avtagit och frågan är varför. I veckans avsnitt pratar vi också mycket om spel som är på väg, xbox nya avatar system och en del andra intressanta nyheter.  

Det är många spel som har släppts och som snart har release vilket gör oss väldigt glada men också lite stressade. Utöver alla nya spel har en telefon visats upp, competitive lägen läggs till och utökas och rykten går om visa spel.

Ett av de tyngsta bilspelen har nyligen släppts och självklart är vi med på bollen och levererar en recension. Vi levererar också en recension på ett av Nintendos mest festliga spel. Så luta dig tillbaka och lyssna på en review double i veckans avsnitt.

The team is back in business! I avsnitt 44 pratar vi vr, recenserar Spider-man, pratar vidare om Valkyria Chronicles 4, Mario spel och en hel del annat smått och gott.

Vi är äntligen hemma efter tre veckor i Japan. Jag pratar lite om vår resa och vad vi har gjort under dessa veckor i Japan. Självklart pratar vi också spel. Under tiden vi har vart bort har både Spider-Man och Tomb Raider släppts och jag är ligger i högsta växeln för att kunna ta ikapp. 

I veckans avsnitt gästar frugan från vår youtube och Christians sambo. Vi pratar tidiga minnen och uppväxt med spel. Detta år har vi också lagt mycket tid på träning och kost. Detta är väldigt viktigt att tänka på när man är gamer och sitter framför en dator hela dagarna. Därför delar vi med oss av hur det har gått och vilka framsteg vi har gjort.

Ett av de spel vi väntat på i fler år nu har äntligen släppt gameplay på sitt spel. Vi är också fulltaliga med mig Andreas, Christian och Fredrik efter att ha varit splittrade i två veckor. Nya spel har blivit inhandlade och en del nyheter att dela med oss av i veckans avsnitt.

Tara C. Smith discusses her work uncovering ties between agriculture and methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Her studies have found MRSA on and around pig farms, on animal handlers, and even in packaged meat in the grocery store. She also talks about using zombies as an allegory for infectious disease outbreak preparedness. Links for this episode Tara C. Smith website Aetiology Blog on Science Blogs Network Outbreak News Interview with Smith on her work communicating the science around vaccines and fighting anti-vaccine sentiments. Smith’s collected writings on Ebola and emerging infectious diseases Zombie Infections: Epidemiology, Treatment, and Prevention in the British Medical Journal History of Microbiology tidbit: Thomas Jukes’ 1968 Letter to the British Medical Journal and 1997 Recollections in Protein Science. Julie’s biggest takeaways: MRSA transitioned from primarily hospital-acquired to community-acquired infections in the 1990s. In the early 2000s, MRSA strains associated with livestock farming emerged in Europe. Smith’s group was the first to identify agriculture-associated MRSA strains in the United States. Tara found MRSA on the very first farm in which she and her colleagues looked for MRSA. The MRSA strain ST398 appears to have originated in people as MSSA then moved to livestock, where the strain acquired some antibiotic resistance related genes. This is because zoonotic diseases are a two-way street and microbes can pass from people to animals, as well as passed from animals to people. Many factors may contribute to MRSA contamination of consumer meat products: for one, MRSA in farms is aerosolized and the same may be true in meat processing facilities. People can also be colonized and spread from workers to products. It’s likely a mixture of strains from farms and strains from people working in the packing plants. Farms that raise animals without antibiotics were not positive for MRSA. Processing these animals at plants where conventional animals are raised creates potential for cross-contamination, however. Prophylactic and treatment applications of antibiotics are still allowed for livestock, but antibiotics used for growth promotion purposes were phased out in January 2017. Featured quotes: “I was in Iowa, the #1 pig-producing state. We started looking for MRSA + found them on the very 1st farm we sampled” “When we think of zoonotic diseases, usually we think of microbes that come from animals to people, but there can be bidirectional transmission. It’s definitely not just a one-way street “That it doesn’t cause disease in pigs made S. aureus invisible to people studying its epidemiology for quite a while” “Our biohazard people probably hated us because we had pounds and pounds of meat products we were checking” for MRSA "S. aureus is definitely not the only one - there’s lots of bacteria that are affected by use of antibiotics on farms” “Everything zombies now is a virus!”

Natasha Trenev, who is known as The Mother of Probiotics, joins Mark Alyn to talk about, you guessed it–Probiotics! Probiotics means for life, where Antibiotics means against life. Over 100 trillion Probiotic microbes are in our gut and they control your health. Live Yogurt has probiotics, these do not include the sugary yogurts you find in the local grocery store. The problem with these sugary yogurts is that they feed the bad bacteria in your gut. Why should you take a Probiotic? Natasha explains how the environment has changed over the last 40 year. These changes have introduced multiple new microbes that have become resistant in our communities. These include MRSA or Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) a bacterium responsible for several difficult to treat infections in humans. It is also called oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA). MRSA is any strain of Staphylococcus aureus that has developed, through the process of natural selection, resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, which includes the penicillins (methicillin, dicloxacillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, etc.) and the cephalosporins. These strains are unable to resist these antibiotics and are classified as methicillin-sensitive; Staphylococcus aureus, or MSSA. The evolution of such resistant bacteria does not cause the organism to be more intrinsically virulent than strains of S. aureus that have no antibiotic resistance, but resistance does make MRSA infection more difficult to treat with standard types of antibiotics and thus more dangerous. Natasha talks about the benefits of Kombucha. Kombucha is a tea-based, fermented drink beverage that is often taken for its health benefits or medicinal purposes. Kombucha is a living organism drink made by fermenting tea and with the Kombucha culture. The result can taste like something between sparkling apple cider and champagne, depending on what flavor tea you use. The first recorded use of kombucha comes from China in 221 BC during the Tsin Dynasty. It was known as “The Tea of Immortality”. One of the benefits of Kombucha is that it helps the body absorb vitamins and minerals.

Natasha Trenev, who is known as The Mother of Probiotics, joins Mark Alyn to talk about, you guessed it–Probiotics! Probiotics means for life, where Antibiotics means against life. Over 100 trillion Probiotic microbes are in our gut and they control your health. Live Yogurt has probiotics, these do not include the sugary yogurts you find in the local grocery store. The problem with these sugary yogurts is that they feed the bad bacteria in your gut. Why should you take a Probiotic? Natasha explains how the environment has changed over the last 40 year. These changes have introduced multiple new microbes that have become resistant in our communities. These include MRSA or Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) a bacterium responsible for several difficult to treat infections in humans. It is also called oxacillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (ORSA). MRSA is any strain of Staphylococcus aureus that has developed, through the process of natural selection, resistance to beta-lactam antibiotics, which includes the penicillins (methicillin, dicloxacillin, nafcillin, oxacillin, etc.) and the cephalosporins. These strains are unable to resist these antibiotics and are classified as methicillin-sensitive; Staphylococcus aureus, or MSSA. The evolution of such resistant bacteria does not cause the organism to be more intrinsically virulent than strains of S. aureus that have no antibiotic resistance, but resistance does make MRSA infection more difficult to treat with standard types of antibiotics and thus more dangerous.
