Podcasts about paleopathology

This is the first of three episodes in the Bioarchaeology, past, present, and future series. This series answers the question "what is bioarchaeology" in an understandable yet nuanced way. This episode, Addressing the Past, covers the basics of bioarchaeology, including how it differs from archaeology, basic methods used, and the history of physical anthropology. It also includes interviews with several prominent bioarchaeologists (Dr. Jane Buikstra, Dr, Clark Larsen, and Dr. Haagen Klaus) about their take on the development of this field of study.

This is episode two of three in the Bioarchaeology, the past, present, and future series. This episode, Assessing the Present, builds off the previous episode's discussion on the methods bioarchaeologists use, and presents some of the newer, developing methods and technologies that are shaping current research in the field. This episode also dives into some of the important ethical considerations surrounding this type of research, and specifically discusses this as it relates to Native American groups and descendants. Additionally, this episode features interviews with several bioarchaeologists: Dr. Haagen Klaus, Dr. Amy Anderson, Dr. Gwen Robbins Schug, and PhD student Meg Hardie.

Dr David Birkett was an unassuming, quiet man, eminent in his fields of both Dermatology and Paleopathology, and well liked and respected by all who knew him. So when he answered a knock at his Middlesbrough door one night in February 1990, he couldn't for a second have considered that the figure stood before him meant him harm. Harm was an understatement. It was the first action of an individual who is one of the strangest - and certainly most dangerous - we have come across on The True Crime Enthusiast Podcast, and whose story I bring here. The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, including descriptions of injury detail and with reference to animal cruelty, that some listeners may find disturbing, and or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening.

California Accelerates Its Push For Electric Cars This week, air pollution regulators in California voted to phase out sales of new gasoline-powered vehicles, with a complete ban on gas car sales by 2035. The decision could have a larger impact on the automobile industry, however, as many states choose to follow California's lead with regard to air quality and emissions decisions. Sophie Bushwick, technology editor at Scientific American, joins guest host Roxanne Khamsi to help unpack the decision. They also discuss some of the other science stories from this week, including a survey-based study showing that Americans really do care about climate change and support mitigation measures, a look at how sugar substitutes can change the microbiome, and an engineer's advice for how to build the sturdiest sandcastles.   Meet Two Autistic Researchers Changing How Autism Research Is Done For many decades, autistic people have been defined by non-autistic people, including in science. Since the very beginning of research about autistic people, neurotypical scientists and institutions have been at the helm. The field has largely been defined by what neurotypical researchers are curious about learning, instead of prioritizing research that the autistic community asks for. Because of that, and the invisibility of autistic adults in our society, a large chunk of this research has neglected the needs of autistic people. In many cases, it's caused harm to the very people the research aims to help. Until recently, there have been very few openly autistic researchers who study autism. But there is a growing body of openly autistic scientists who are using both their expertise and their own lived experiences to help shape the future of autism research. Guest host Roxanne Khamsi speaks with Dr. TC Waisman, a leadership coach and researcher studying autism and higher education, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Patrick Dwyer, a Ph.D. candidate studying sensory processing and attention in autism at the University of California, Davis. They talk about the history of autism research, why the inclusion of autistic people in research leads to more helpful outcomes, and how they see the future of autism research changing. Ira Kraemer consulted on this story.   Ecological Data From Deep In The Pantry Most people wouldn't be excited by a call offering a basement full of canned salmon dating back to the 1970s. But for researchers trying to establish baselines for what's normal and what's not when it comes to aquatic parasite populations, the archive of fishy tins, maintained by the Seattle-area Seafood Products Association, was a valuable resource. Natalie Mastick and colleagues combed through the tins with tweezers, counting the numbers of parasitic anisakid worms they found. (Since the salmon was cooked, the worms—though gross—posed no risk to human eaters.) The team found that in their samples of chum and pink salmon, the incidence of parasitic infection increased over the 40 years covered by the salmon archive. The finding might be good news—an increase in the numbers of marine mammals in the area, key hosts for the parasites, could be responsible for the wormy increase. Natalie Mastick, a PhD candidate in the University of Washington's School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences, joins guest host Roxanne Khamsi to explain the study.   Medieval Friars' Farming May Have Caused Tummy Troubles What was life like back in medieval England? You might think that the learned friars who lived in the town of Cambridge—scholars, with access to innovations like latrines and places to wash their hands—might have lived healthier lives than the common folk. But a recent study published in the International Journal of Paleopathology says that, at least when it comes to intestinal parasites, the friars may have been worse off. Dr. Piers Mitchell runs the Cambridge Ancient Parasites Laboratory and is a senior research associate in the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research. Mitchell and colleagues excavated soil samples from around the pelvises of medieval skeletons in one Cambridge cemetery, then examined the soil microscopically looking for parasite eggs. They found that friars in the cemetery had almost twice the incidence of intestinal parasites as commoners in the town—a fact they speculate could be related to friars using human feces, from the friary latrine, to fertilize the gardens. Mitchell joins guest host Roxanne Khamsi to explain the study.   Transcripts for each segment will be available the week after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Where did cinchona, the first medication to cure malaria, come from? This episode explores the murky history of the bark of the fever tree and its derivative chloroquine with mysterious pre-Columbian Pacific crossings of the plasmodium parasite, Jesuit priests and Inca healers, a Chinese Emperor performing a clinical trial to treat his fever, chemistry leading to the first modern pharmaceuticals, and imperialism on a global scale. This episode is the first of a multi-part series exploring how hydroxychloroquine became the great hope for treating COVID-19.   Sources: Jaramillo‐Arango, J.

Life ain’t always easy. Injury and disease are a persistent threat for life of all sorts, and that’s been true for as long as there has been life. Fortunately for us, these threats can leave evidence in fossils, teaching us about the lives, struggles, and sometimes deaths of ancient organisms. The study of this evidence is called paleopathology, and in this episode, our friend Laura will explain the ins and outs of the field and share with us some of her favorite examples. In the news: ancient hands, old snakes, the earliest animals, and a new dinosaur.   Time markers: Intro & Announcements: 00:00:00 News: 00:05:00 Main discussion, Part 1: 00:41:00 Main discussion, Part 2: 01:17:00 Patron question: 02:07:00 Check out our blog for bonus info and pictures: http://commondescentpodcast.wordpress.com/ The Common Descent Store is open!

Ira Pastor, ideaXme exponential health ambassador, interviews Professor Dr. Frank Rühli, Director of the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine and on the Medical Faculty of University of Zurich, and Founding Director, Chair, Full Professor of Evolutionary Medicine. Ira Pastor Comments: Famous prominent Russian-American geneticist and evolutionary biologist, Theodosius Dobzhansky, stated in a 1973 essay that “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution." When one applies this principle to medical research, it suggests that if you study only the proximal causes of health and disease (pathophysiology), you get a limited picture, and such dynamics could be better understood within an evolutionary framework. While traditional biomedical research is often concerned with pathophysiology, it is the relatively new science of evolutionary medicine that seeks to link human pathology with our past, present, and future evolutionary trajectories. Combining the study of proximal and distal reasons underpinning medical disorders yields a deeper understanding that may help to improve the ways diseases are screened for, treated, or prevented. Professor Dr. Frank Rühli: Professor Dr. Frank Rühli, is Director of the Institute of Evolutionary Medicine and on the Medical Faculty of University of Zurich, and Founding Director, Chair, Full Professor of Evolutionary Medicine. In addition to being the director of the institute he is also Head of the Paleopathology and Mummy Studies Group, as well as Head of the Museum‚ Medical Collection and Human Remains Group. Prof. Dr. Rühli studied Medicine at the University of Zurich and did Postgraduate Research to undertake a PhD at the Biological Anthropology and Comparative Anatomy Research Unit, Anatomical Sciences, University of Adelaide (Australia). He has a broad research domain including - Evolutionary Medicine, Paleopathology / Disease Evolution, Microevolution of Anatomical Norm Variations and Pathologies / Clinical Anatomy, Diagnostic Imaging of Ancient Mummies, as well as the biological standard of living and state of health of Swiss Armed Forces. He is Associated Editor, Editor and Editor–in-Chief of seven peer-reviewed journals: Evolution, Medicine and Public Health, Journal of Evolutionary Medicine, Homo - Journal of Comparative Human Biology, Journal of Biological and Clinical Anthropology, Yearbook of Mummy Studies, and Swiss Review of Military and Disaster Medicine. On this fascinating show we will hear from Dr. Ruhli: About his background and how he developed an interest in science, medicine, and the unique intersection with the study of evolutionary biology. The principle of "Micro-Evolution" and the fact that humans (Homo-Sapiens) "evolve" every day. His unique study of human mummies and application towards understanding our health "past." Evolutionary medicine insights for human diseases such metabolic disorders (including hypercholesterinemia and diabetes) and drug addiction. Thoughts on future human evolutionary trajectories. Thoughts on evolutionary medicine connection to ageing processes. Credits: Ira Pastor interview video, text, and audio.
