In 2000, the United States declared that measles had been eliminated. But just 15 years later, the disease made a comeback—and it hasn't gone away since. In this episode, Dr. Adam Ratner, director of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at NYU and author of Booster Shots: The Urgent Lessons of Measles and the Uncertain Future of Children's Health, explains why measles outbreaks are occurring again—as vaccine hesitancy and the antivax movement is on the rise—and what this means for the future of children's health.Ratner describes why measles is the most contagious disease we know of, and why it can be particularly harmful to children. As vaccination rates for children and adults continue to decrease in the U.S., are we at risk of undoing decades of medical progress? And what can we do to stop it?

In this episode, we sit down with Adam Ratner, MD, a leading expert in pediatric infectious diseases, to discuss the current landscape of vaccine-preventable diseases in children. With the resurgence of illnesses we once thought were eradicated—like polio and measles—Dr. Ratner unpacks why these diseases are making a comeback and what we can expect in the coming years.We also explore the evolution of vaccine skepticism, addressing common concerns from parents, including long-term vaccine safety and misconceptions about additives and preservatives. Dr. Ratner shares insights from his work, including his book on measles, and explains why following the recommended vaccine schedule is critical for public health.Tune in for a fact-based, expert-led discussion that separates myth from medicine when it comes to protecting children from infectious diseases.Adam Ratner, MD, MPH is a Professor of Pediatrics and Microbiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and Director of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at Hassenfeld Children's Hospital and Bellevue Hospital Center. Having cared for many patients during both the 2018-2019 measles outbreak and the COVID-19 pandemic, he has a particular interest in vaccine-preventable diseases that impact children and their families.

This week we welcome pediatric infectious disease specialist, Dr. Santhosh Nadipuram to The Hamilton Review Podcast! Why do parents feel hesitant about giving their children vaccines in the modern era, especially post pandemic? Medical professionals like Dr. Nadipuram want to help parents understand why vaccinations are important for their children and all the good that it does to help save children's lives. Enjoy this valuable conversation! Santhosh Nadipuram, MD, is a pediatric infectious diseases specialist and a physician-scientist. After completing his clinical fellowship in 2013, Nadipuram joined the lab of Peter J. Bradley, PhD, at UCLA, as a postdoctoral fellow. There, Nadipuram studied the parasite Toxoplasma gondii, focusing on the organism's secreted proteins and their roles in pathogenesis. He used genetic and protein purification techniques to identify and characterize several of these secreted proteins and discovered the role of these proteins in the parasite's survival and metabolism. Nadipuram joined Cedars-Sinai in 2018 and studies in the Arditi Lab with the goal of understanding the host response to Toxoplasma infection, specifically in immune-privileged compartments, such as the brain and the eye (chorioretinitis), using experimental mouse models of acute and chronic toxoplasmosis. Nadipuram received the Cedars-Sinai Clinical Scholars Award in July 2019. Dr. Nadipuram is an active clinician, caring for children in the hospital and outpatient clinic settings.

COVID, RSV and flu cases have been on the rise. Also, a former UC Davis student charged with stabbing deaths is competent to stand trial. Finally, Donna Apidone's book “Drive-Time Meditations” will be performed at Stories on Stage Davis. COVID, RSV & Flu Season A triple-whammy of respiratory infections has a lot of people sick with fever, cough, and just plain misery. RSV, COVID, and flu are surging in our state and around the country. While California ranks high, there are areas of the country that are much worse off. As schools go back into session and people head back to work, we asked Dr. Dean Blumberg, ?Chief of Pediatric Infectious Diseases at UC Davis Health, to give us an update on the situation and what can be done to try and stay healthy through the rest of the winter season. Davis Stabbing Suspect Competent to Stand Trial Carlos Reales Dominguez, the 22-year-old former UC Davis student accused of fatally stabbing two people and injuring a third last year, was deemed competent to stand trial on Friday.

Sinusitis is a common viral or bacterial infection that causes swelling in the sinuses. Although some patients need prescription medication, often sinusitis can be triggered by allergies or the common cold. In general, sinusitis is overtreated with antibiotics. In the United States, there are five million antibiotic prescriptions for children and adolescents with acute sinusitis, and around 65% of patients are prescribed either amoxicillin or amoxicillin/clavulanate as first-line treatments. To date, there have been little to no studies to compare the effectiveness and safety of these prescriptions. In today's episode, we discuss a study done by Timothy Savage, MD, and Matthew Kronman, MD, to determine the effectiveness of antibiotics and how to determine who needs antibiotic treatment and who does not.  Guest:  Matthew Kronman, MD, MSCE, is the fellowship program director for Pediatric Infectious Diseases and the medical director of outpatient antimicrobial stewardship at Seattle Children's Hospital, and an associate professor at University of Washington School of Medicine.  For more information on Children's Hospital Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org

In this episode host Melinda Godfrey, a Nurse Practitioner at the University of Rochester, and Program Manager of the Congenital Syphilis Prevention Project, (part of the NYS CEI Sexual Health Center of Excellence) speaks with special guest Dr. Geoffrey Weinberg, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. Dr. Weinberg is the Clinical Director of the Pediatric Infectious Diseases and Pediatric HIV Program. He is the co-attending at the Pediatric Primary Immune Deficiency Disorders Clinic at the University of Rochester Golisano Children's Hospital, and consults with the NYSDOH AIDS Institute. Dr. Weinberg gives us a brief history of syphilis (“The Great Pox”) all the way back to the 1400s. Through the years, medicine began to understand how the disease was transmitted, and in the 1940s, with the advent of penicillin, syphilis was all but eliminated. The disease resurfaced in the 1980s with other STDs and chronic drug use. Again, it was all but eliminated by the year 2000. Alarmingly, in 2021 there were 2700 known cases in newborns, and this has led to today's discussion about what clinicians can do to help reduce the number of babies born with syphilis today, and preventing transmission in the future.
