Podcasts about transmissible

In this episode of Transmissible, we take a critical, evidence-based look at the claim that vaccines cause autism — and examine how this misconception gained traction. We systematically review both methodologically sound and methodologically flawed studies, highlighting key differences in study design, bias, confounding, and statistical interpretation. We'll break down epidemiologic study types (including cohort studies, case-control studies, ecological studies, and retrospective studies), demystify essential statistical concepts like relative risk, odds ratios, and confidence intervals, and clarify the crucial distinction between correlation and causation. All explanations are presented in plain language without sacrificing scientific rigor. No judgment, just facts. Whether you're an epidemiologist, a healthcare professional, or someone seeking to better understand how scientific evidence is evaluated, this episode provides a clear, grounded analysis of one of the most persistent myths in public health.Medical Disclaimer:This podcast episode is for informational and educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) is a rare but severe viral infection that causes inflammation of the brain, often leading to death or long-term neurological issues. Transmitted by mosquitoes, EEE has a fatality rate of around 30% among those who develop symptoms. While the disease predominantly affects horses, humans can also be infected, though they are considered "dead-end" hosts, meaning they don't transmit the virus further. Recent news highlights concerns in Plymouth, Massachusetts, where new measures have been implemented after mosquitoes tested positive for EEE, marking the first human case in the state since 2020. In this episode, Jessica, dives into the virus's biology, transmission, symptoms, and the recent outbreak's context.

There are three known transmissible cancers in the mammalian world. Surprisingly, two of the three are found in Tasmanian Devils. They are called the Devil Facial Tumour Disease (DFTD) and one Devil can pass this tumour to another Devil via direct contact. These DFTD's have had a devastating impact on the Devils population and even threatened their survival. Over the last few decades, researchers have investigated these tumours and are learning how to tackle this problem. Our special guests for this episode include Dr Andrew Flies and Dr Ruth Pye from the Menzies Institute of Medical Research at the University of Tasmania. This is the story of transmissible cancer.Support the show: https://theadelaideshow.com.au/listen-or-download-the-podcast/adelaide-in-crowd/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ryan leads off the program calling for an end to the Left's War on the Unvaccinated, as Leland joins the fray and points to logic and common sense in dealing with the more transmissible - but less virulent - Omicron variant of COVID and all those to follow in 2022. Bottom line? We need to move on and learn to live with it as an endemic disease in our everyday existence.

Si la cinquième vague de l'épidémie de Covid-19 qui sévit dans le monde actuellement est bien due au variant Delta, encore nettement majoritaire, le variant Omicron ne cesse de se répandre, avec une rapidité qui étonne les spécialistes. Plus de 90 000 nouveaux cas de contamination ont été enregistrés au Royaume-Uni, où le gouvernement a débloqué un milliard de livres pour les entreprises victimes de la crise. 72 000 nouveaux cas ont été recensés hier en France, où la ministre du Travail appelle les entreprises à accélérer un recours massif au télétravail. Le point sur ce nouveau variant avec Jonathan Roux, épidémiologiste à l'école des Hautes Études en santé publique de Rennes.

In Washington State, around the year 2008, reports of limping wild elk started to rise dramatically. These elk had hooves that were completely abnormal looking. Some of the deformities looked so bad that it was hard to tell it was even a hoof. The elk looked like they had a claw or a slipper on their feet instead of a hoof. And to complicate things, at the time wildlife managers still didn't know exactly what caused this horrible elk hoof disease, or if it could spread from one infected elk to another. In today's episode, we get to hear all the details about how our guest Dr. Margaret Wild and her team at Washington State University designed and built a facility to study hoof disease in a captive elk herd.  By studying elk in a captive setting, this allowed Dr. Wild to set up carefully controlled studies to answer the key questions of 1.) what actually causes elk hoof disease 2.) can it be spread between elk and 3) what other factors such as nutrition or environmental conditions influence this disease process?    ***   To Learn More About Dr. Wild's Elk Hoof Disease Research at Washington State University: https://vmp.vetmed.wsu.edu/research/elk-hoof-disease/wsu-research     More Info on Elk Hoof Disease (Treponeme-Associated Hoof Disease): https://vmp.vetmed.wsu.edu/research/elk-hoof-disease/about-elk-hoof-disease     Link to Craig Stephen et al Article- Using a Harm Reduction Approach in an Environmental Case Study of Fish and Wildlife Health: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10393-017-1311-4     We're a podcast with a purpose!

v says Omicron is a cause for concern but not panic.  New Zealand detected its first Omicron case yesterday, a case that travelled from Germany via Dubai and is now in MIQ in Christchurch. Everyone on the same flight and people who stayed on the same MIQ floor are being treated as close contacts.  The Deputy Prime Minister told Mike Yardley MIQ has been set up to deal with transmissible variants. “We have an MIQ that many other countries around the world don't, this case has been caught via this system and while it's not 100% perfect, it has served us very well.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The early Omicron lab numbers have been crunched and it's becoming clear it will eclipse Delta as the most transmissible variant of Covid-19. The UK Health Security Agency's findings, released over the weekend, show Omicron will also be better at evading the vaccines we've been using. Ascertaining Omicron's severity is still some way off for scientists but Canterbury University modeler Michael Plank said its high transmissibility alone is troubling. He spoke to Corin Dann.

The 8th Ministerial Conference of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation will kick off in Dakar. The WHO says it is not yet clear whether the Omicron COVID-19 variant is more transmissible compared to other variants. And a Chinese snowboarder hopes to win more medals in Beijing next year.

Countries around the world are closing their borders due to the threated posed by the South African variant, Omicron. Australia has recorded two confirmed cases of the new COVID variant, but initial evidence indicates it could be a mild virus in terms of the illness it causes.
