Certaines communes rusent de créativité (et parfois aussi de bon sens) pour éviter les embouteillages de touristes, et la destruction de l'environnement induite par leur venue. Voici quelques exemplesInterdiction de déposer une serviette de plage sur la plage de Stintino en Sardaigne. Pourquoi ? Pour éviter d'emporter le sable avec soi.Interdiction de faire des châteaux de sable sur la plage d'Eraclea (nord-est) pour éviter aux sauveteur de trébucher. Cette même interdiction s'applique sur la plage de Sylt, en Allemagne pour préserver le littoral.Interdiction de glaner des galets sur les plages française : pris en flagrant délit, cela pourrait vous coûter 1500 euros.Interdiction de fumer des joints dans l'épicentre d'Amsterdam, dans le fameux quartier rouge. Chaque année, les coffee shops attirent 3 millions de touristes dans la capitale néerlandaise, les autorités veulent éviter le tourisme du cannabis.Interdiction de réserver sa place sur la plage avant 9h du matin sur la plage de Calpe, en Espagne. Amende possible : 250 euros. Tout autre objet laissé sans surveillance pendant plus de trois heures pourrait aussi être emporté. A Torrox, les personnes qui réservent leur place avec une serviette ou une chaise longue et qui s'absentent plusieurs heures risquent aussi une amende. Interdiction de faire des selfies dans de plus en plus de lieux touristiques populaires. Une étude publiée dans le Journal of Travel Medicine en 2022 a identifié 379 décès liés aux selfies au cours des 13 années précédentes. Cela fait une moyenne de 29 morts par an dûs à des chutes du haut de falaise, d'accidents avec des trains, des rencontres dangereuses avec des animaux sauvages provoquées par l'envie criante de faire un selfie...Vous aimez ce contenu ?

If you've been paying attention to the mental health and wellness space, you know that psychedelics have burst onto the scene in a big way. Major universities like Johns Hopkins, Yale, and Berkeley are studying their effects on PTSD, anxiety, depression, and more.  Many guides and shamans in this space describe the use of psilocybin, MDMA, and other substances together with integrative therapy sessions to be equivalent to years and years of traditional therapy.  And now, these plant medicine journeys are making their mark on luxury wellness travel.  My guests today are Robert Grover and Gary Logan who provide private luxury retreats and create profound experiences for clients.  We discuss their experience with these medicines, their guiding philosophies, and how they orchestrate a comfortable luxury setting. For more accessible information on the science of psychedelics I can also highly recommend the Michael Pollan interview on The Tim Ferris Show.  Last but not least, though the substances discussed on this episode are showing great promise in the clinical studies, they are not legal in the United States and many other countries. Luxury Travel Insider and I are not condoning any illegal activity.    Learn more at www.luxtravelinsider.com   Connect with me on Social: Instagram LinkedIn

Superbugs develop their resistance to antibiotics by mixing and mingling with each other. Many superbugs travel on and in our bodies as we go back and forth overseas. But that isn't the only way they move. In this episode we find out how superbugs spread in surprising ways and are found in the most remote locations. We find out why some countries are hotspots for resistance and what happens if you become infected with a superbug while travelling.Have a look at ResistanceMap, where you can see interactive world maps of antibiotic resistance by pathogen and antibiotic use by type in every country.Here is a link to Dr Isabel Frost's study:Isabel Frost, DPhil, Thomas P Van Boeckel, PhD, João Pires, PhD, Jessica Craig, BA, BS, Ramanan Laxminarayan, PhD, Global geographic trends in antimicrobial resistance: the role of international travel, Journal of Travel Medicine, Volume 26, Issue 8, 2019, taz036, https://doi.org/10.1093/jtm/taz036This article from 2019 in the New York Times about superbugs in India's River Ganges, using powerful photography to capture this issue.Read about the Beach Bums Survey on antibiotic resistant E. coli in the guts of surfers versus non-surfers here.Find out why antibiotic resistance is a particularly big challenge in remote Indigenous communities in this article in The Conversation.Interviewees in this episode:Surfer Ian Cohen, who is also a climate change activist and speaker on environmental issues.Dr Isabel Frost, who was working in India for the Centre for Disease Dynamics and Policy, and is now working as a consultant for the World Health Organisation.

Australia's next public health threat has wings, and it's already landing.

Vaccines have worked in the same way since they were invented more than 200 years ago: they use a weakened version of the targeted virus to create an immune response that the body remembers. Since COVID-19 appeared, a new kind of vaccine has emerged -- the mRNA vaccine. The mRNA vaccine is a unique delivery system that focuses specifically on the cells that are the targets of an infection. And, as Robert Salata, MD, UH infectious disease specialist and Program Director, Roe Green Center for Travel Medicine and Global Health, explains, researchers are now studying how to use this revolutionary technology to fight other diseases such as HIV, rabies and influenza.

Going into this series (with an open mind) we have made a few assumptions about the current 'lie of the community pharmacy training land' and it is largely that there is very little investment in community pharmacist development above and beyond mandatory training requirements. As part of this series, we will talk to a range of key players in pharmacy with an interest in community pharmacist education and training. My co-host for many of the series will be fellow pharmacist Derek Evans. In this episode, we were very fortunate to be joined by Professor Larry Goodyer. Larry Goodyer is Professor of Pharmacy Practice at the School of Pharmacy at De Montfort University UK. We discussed a range of topics. the list below will give you a flavour of the conversation. The current state of community pharmacy in the UK. The community pharmacy workforce crisis. Training activity currently happening in community pharmacy. Whether or not community pharmacists are knowingly competent when using their independent prescribing qualification. The regulation of independent prescribing. Futures training models for community pharmacists. The importance of supervision and multidisciplinary working. About Professor Larry Goodyer Larry Goodyer is Professor of Pharmacy Practice at the School of Pharmacy at De Montfort University UK. He worked as a clinical pharmacist through much of the 1980s and early 90s and until 2003 was Head of the Pharmacy Practice group at King's College London. His principal interest is within the field of travel medicine, in which he is keen to promote the role of pharmacists. He has lectured and taught widely on Travel Medicine to both Health professionals and the public and has been invited to address both national and international conferences on the subject, as well as appearances on television and radio broadcasts. Related research interests include methods for bite avoidance and medical supplies for overseas travel. More broadly in his capacity as a Professor of Pharmacy Practice, he has been involved in research and teaching on a wide range of issues related to the profession of Pharmacy. These include new roles for pharmacists such as prescribing and medicines management. About Derek Evens Derek Evans FRPharmS, FRGS, FFTM RCPS (Glasg), FISTM, Independent Prescriber.

SummaryYellow Fever is a viral tropical disease. It is most prevalent in equatorial Africa (90%) and South America (10%). No specific treatments exist but it can be prevented with a highly affective vaccine. The disease is spread via mosquito vectors (arbovirus). Yellow refers to the jaundice that occurs in severe infection from liver damage. Bleeding (hemorrhagic fever) and kidney damage are other severe manifestations. Morbidity and MortalityAbout 5% of people infected with the Yellow Fever virus will die. Foreign visitors to endemic countries are at the higher risk of severe infection if exposed. Hemorrhagic fever, liver failure, and other organ failures can lead to shock and death. It is very difficult to know how many infections occur annually but the WHO estimates about 200,000 (likely many more). Epidemics periodically occur and usually have worse than normal case fatality rates. StoryYellow fever outbreaks plagued the America's in the 18th and 19th centuries, having been introduced from Africa just few hundred years prior. The Yellow Fever Epidemic of 1793 killed 9% of the residents in Philadelphia. Many, including George Washington, fled the city. Yellow Fever has plagued the US military for years before the 17D vaccine was discovered in 1937 by Max Theiler (Noble Prize).  Key Points1.  Yellow fever is endemic to equatorial Africa and South America, but strangely not Asia.2.  People living and traveling to these areas should be vaccinated with the 17D live attenuated yellow fever vaccine.3.  Fever, chills, headache, and myalgias are common. A minority of cases progress to liver failure and hemorrhage.  About half of cases that progress will be fatal4. Treatment is supportive. As such, prevention with vaccine, vector control, and avoiding mosquito bites is very important. Avoid blood thinners and anti-platelets. References-       Keystone et al. Travel Medicine, 4th Ed.

To mask or not to mask? It's a question so many are asking after a new guideline from the CDC that gives fully vaccinated Americans the go ahead to shed masks in most situations. But should those fully vaccinated still worry about covid-19. Does being vaccinated mean we can go back to live a normal life? What about those who are tossing their mask even though they aren't vaccinated On our Season 4 premiere , we talk to Yvette McQueen, MD about what it means to be vaccinated and the precautions on returning to a sense of normalcy Dr. McQueen then gives us healthy travel tips now that summer is quickly approaching.

Dr. Kanayo Odeluga discusses International Travel Medicine and precautions travelers can take to stay healthy.

If we all can't travel or see loved ones across borders, please tell me at least it's working. In May, I found myself in tears when the British government decided to impose quarantines on anyone returning from France in order to combat covid-19. That was the last straw. How dare they close *my* border? Did it even serve a purpose? When in doubt, go to the library. I turned to science to find out if I had been right to cry or if indeed, the government was doing the right thing. What I found out is... it's complicated. 

Why is COVID-19 impacting communities of color at such an alarming rate? And what can be done to stop the spread?

Como saber qual será o potencial de disseminação de uma doença? Profissionais da saúde apostam em ferramentas de inteligência artificial para antecipar medidas de prevenção. É o caso do algoritmo preditivo concebido pela empresa canadense BlueDot – criada por Kamran Khan, professor de Medicina e Saúde Pública da Universidade de Toronto, no Canadá. A ferramenta foi uma das primeiras a identificar a existência do coronavírus, que já matou milhares de pessoas na China. Cerca de uma semana antes da Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) alertar sobre a emergência do novo vírus, em janeiro, o sistema da BlueDot detectou na web informações em chinês que circulavam em Wuhan, berço da epidemia do coronavírus. Os relatos captados no dia 31 de dezembro de 2019 mencionavam pacientes que teriam contraído uma misteriosa pneumonia em um mercado local de venda de animais. “Essa foi nossa primeira pista de que alguma coisa estava acontecendo. Não sabíamos, naquele momento, que isso se transformaria em uma epidemia internacional, mas que havia uma relação entre o mercado e as infeções”, explicou Khan à RFI Brasil. A empresa, de 40 pessoas, emprega médicos, veterinários e biólogos que rapidamente fizeram uma associação ao risco de um vírus emergente transmitido de um animal silvestre para o humano. O algoritmo de inteligência artificial criado pela companhia é capaz de analisar centenas de milhares de documentos disponíveis na rede, em 65 idiomas diferentes, 24 horas por dia. A ferramenta busca detectar sinais sobre diferentes doenças em tempo real e as analisa fazendo previsões. No caso do coronavírus, para prever como ocorreria a disseminação, o algoritmo cruzou os dados on-line públicos vindos de Wuhan com os das companhias aéreas que fazem voos comerciais e os metadados de cerca de 400 milhões de celulares conectados em todo o mundo. Esse smartphones fornecem dados dos deslocamentos de seus usuários, sem identificá-los, através da geolocalização. Rapidamente o sistema analisou os itinerários e destinos e identificou os locais onde potencialmente seriam registrados os primeiros casos do coronavírus no exterior, como Tóquio, Hong Kong, Taipei e Bangoc. A descoberta foi publicada no Journal of Travel Medicine, da universidade de Oxford. A informação sobre uma potencial epidemia também foi enviada para os clientes da empresa – principalmente governos e instituições interessados em antecipar ações de prevenção. “Também coletamos informações de satélites em tempo real. Isso é importante não somente para o coronavírus, mas também outros tipos de doença”, explica o professor canadense. Khan cita como exemplo a epidemia do vírus Zika, em 2016. “Se um viajante contaminado ia para uma área do mundo onde o clima não era apropriado para a reprodução do mosquito – a temperatura era muito fria ou quente, por exemplo, isso influenciaria a transmissão. Incorporamos esses diferentes fatores no sistema para detectar as doenças, mas também antecipar onde elas teriam potencial para causar um impacto significativo”, detalha. Antecipação Kamran Khan conta que, há 17 anos, quando começou sua carreira em um hospital de Toronto, viveu de perto a epidemia de Sars (sigla em inglês para síndrome respiratória aguda grave), que deixou mais de 800 mortos. “O que aprendemos é que as informações às vezes chegam tarde demais. “Também aprendemos que a Internet, por si só, pode ser um meio importante de coleta de informações sobre doenças e infecções que estão surgindo no mundo”, lembra. O sistema também utiliza informações veiculadas por jornalistas locais ou relatórios médicos públicos que descrevem sintomas e tratamentos de uma doença nunca vista antes. Os dados também são provenientes das pesquisas feitas pelos internautas nos motores de busca, fóruns e blogs, que são tratadas pelo algoritmo. A ferramenta exclui somente o conteúdo das redes sociais por considerá-lo “enganoso”, em razão da circulação da grande quantidade de fake news. Disseminação “Tentamos antecipar como será a disseminação da doença porque sabemos que, durante as epidemias, tempo é tudo, é uma questão crítica. Estava em Toronto em 2003 e não sabíamos nem o que estavam provocando as contaminações, até as crianças serem atendidas nos hospitais.” Ele se lembra que a epidemia causou um verdadeiro caos em Toronto, paralisando a cidade durante quatro meses - 44 pessoas morreram, incluindo funcionários de hospitais, sem contar as perdas econômicas. “O que precisamos fazer é antecipar e não reagir”, defende. O professor da Universidade de Toronto explica que, por essa razão, os principais clientes da empresa são agências governamentais, companhias aéreas e, mais recentemente, hospitais. “Quando uma pessoa está contaminada, com uma doença séria, ela vai ao Pronto-Socorro. É muito importante que médicos e enfermeiras tenham a habilidade de reconhecer uma doença que nunca tenham visto antes e saibam como agir diante da situação", afirma. "Os médicos que estão na linha de frente podem ser contaminados e morrer. Precisamos que eles saibam proteger a si mesmos e seus pacientes, prevenir o atendimento no hospital e as chegadas nas cidades", avalia. Na França, o médico parisiense que atendeu os primeiros pacientes contaminados pelo novo coronavírus também foi infectado pela doença. Ele reconhece, entretanto, que por enquanto é difícil prever como será a disseminação do coronavírus, por conta das medidas de restrição de viagens adotadas por diversos governos. As pessoas não estão se deslocando da mesma maneira como viajam normalmente, afirma Khan. Segundo ele, a empresa tem acesso aos metadados de milhões de internautas que confirmam essa informação. Ele ressalta que as informações não estão associadas a nenhum perfil, para justificar o uso desses dados e possíveis críticas à invasão da privacidade, mas servem apenas para monitorar os deslocamentos. “Somos capazes de entender, quase em tempo real, como a população está se movimentando pelo mundo”, diz. Mas, segundo ele, como se trata de um novo vírus, ainda é difícil afirmar, por exemplo, se as quarentenas como a adotada pelo governo francês, que isolou os cidadãos que estiveram em Wuhan durante 14 dias, são suficientes para conter o contágio. “É este o desafio com o qual estamos lidando.”  

Stand Out QuotesPeople are sold a false god of money, opportunity, or progression and some people achieve wealth and power but then realize that doesn’t bring me fulfillment.Life always throws adversity at you.  The challenge is how you adapt to that.Ninety percent of our health has to do with the systems within which we are living, not something inside of us. Biography: Dr. Charlie Easmon is a Primary Care Physician specializing in Travel Medicine, Mental and Occupational Health. He trained at St George's Hospital Medical School in South London and performed his medical elective period in Ghana. Since then he has worked with a number of international medical organizations and charities including Merlin, Raleigh International and Save the Children in Rwanda, and ECHO in Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan.Working under appointment for the Foreign Office, Charlie has operated across Africa and in countries such as Egypt, Israel, Tunisia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines. He has been actively involved in a number of different types of medical aid emergencies including medical evacuations and following these high-level international experiences Charlie has some of the highest levels of expertise in travel medicine and public health. However, Charlie’s deep interest is in mental and occupational health in the corporate setting, and particularly within high stress arenas. He has wide ranging experiences into the consequences of staff working in varying conditions. He is concerned about the aspect of late referrals and how the all-too-often lack of appropriate mental health support resources can impact on the well being of his patients.Find more out about Dr. Easmon here:https://www.lstmed.ac.uk/charlie-easmonhttps://www.totalhealth.co.uk/clinical-experts/dr-charlie-easmonAnd See Dr. Easmon's TEDx Talk here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INTlCAQJaro Podcast Notes:Dr. Easmon joins me as he makes his way home from his busy medical practice. He says that ”These days people don’t come in for physical injury any more but because they have had their head caved in mentally.  What is the point of human evolution if the workplace has become a stress pen for all of us?”The western world has gotten many things wrong in their march for technological supremacy.  His clients have forgotten to examine the quality of their life, joy, and peace.And our mental health and physical health are suffering because of how our world is set up.  You can treat the problems but Dr. Easmon also says we need to change the systems that are making us sick.Ninety percent of our health has to do with the system within which we are living, not some problem inside of us but because the market rules mentality is what drives how we live.  We are not creating health-promoting systems that would make us get well evolutionary.Dr. Easmon shares his own experience of discrimination and how discrimination stress is linked to things like high blood pressure. He is fond of the work of the Anne Frank Foundation.  They send people into schools to talk about discrimination and strongly believes a history of prejudice should be taught in every school curriculum and teach it throughout history.  And dealing with the rise of the far right. These groups thrive in vacuums of ignorance, but these groups directly and negatively impact our health.Social innovation is not communist it is simply a way to create cooperation to create a society that is based on something other than greed.  Not all mindsets can be changed so Dr. Easmon recommends we are thoughtful in where we put our energies. For him, he has partnered with George Kinder and the Golden Civilization Project.  George will be on our podcast very soon.We hope you enjoyed this dialogue with Dr. Easmon.  As Sidewalk Talk has doubled in size since February of 2019 to today, we need 80 more folks to invest monthly to keep us providing free listening on sidewalks and this podcast in 2020.  Upcoming and past guests include Harville Hendricks, Spring Washam, Parker Palmer, Charlie Easmon, David Kessler, George Kinder, Howard C.

Dr Bernard Hudson, Microbiologist and Infectious Diseases Physician, will cover major updates on the prevention of malaria, Japanese encephalitis, traveller’s diarrhoea and other recent developments in travel medicine, in this podcast lecture. 

In the seventh episode of the Wilderness Weekly, your host, Dr. Jason Smith, discusses Travel Medicine. He will tell you about what travel medicine is and why you should know more about it. He will discuss the pre-travel visit and how important this can be to your health even if traveling only a short distance. 

Does your full schedule eat into how much you sleep at night? Are you frequently in noisy areas? Have you ever thought that maybe your sleep deprivation and surroundings (even if you can function well) are impacting your short-term performance and long-term health? Well, it is. And science can prove it. Dr. Mathias Basner -- an associate professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine-- who spent the past two decades researching how sleep and noise impact your cognitive functions (short-term performance) and long-term health, shares startling research findings that you might want to know. Among other things, Basner's research showed that at six hours of sleep per night, you will reach similar cognitive decline levels to those who do not sleep for a full night after 10-12 days, and at four hours per night, you will reach this level after five to seven days. The brain, while sleeping, performs critical functions, including emotional processing and information triaging. Basner shared that one of the hottest theories right now is that sleep allows for brain plasticity, meaning your brain's ability to modify its neural network connections or, in other words: rewire itself. If brain plasticity is impaired, you experience lowered ability to focus, memory problems, higher emotional instabilities, etc... And that's just the tip of the iceberg... think about how this affects your experience of life and effectiveness as a leader. Tune in to get the full conversation and learn about: Clarity of the mind: effective leadership Emotional Intelligence The role of sleep in your life and for your body How sleep deprivation may be impacting your ability to lead effectively Short-term effects of sleep deprivation How sleep impacts cognitive functions Sleep deprivation research findings How noise impacts your health short and long term Research findings on brain plasticity The trap (hint: blissful ignorance) What is the optimum sleep amount per night Key workarounds if you can't get enough sleep Dr. Mathias Basner's biography: Mathias Basner, MD, PhD, MSc is an associate professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. His primary research interests concern the effects of sleep loss on neurobehavioral and cognitive functions, population studies on sleep time and waking activities, the effects of traffic noise on sleep and health, and astronaut behavioral health on long-duration space missions. These research areas overlap widely. Basner has published more than 80 journal articles and reviewed articles for more than 80 scientific journals. He is currently on the editorial board of the journals Sleep Health and Frontiers in Physiology. Between 1999 and 2008, Basner conducted several large-scale laboratory and field studies on the effects of traffic noise on sleep at the German Aerospace Center. For this research, Basner was awarded the German Aerospace Center Research Award in 2007 and the Science Award of the German Academy for Aviation and Travel Medicine in 2010. Basner developed an ECG-based algorithm for the automatic identification of autonomic activations associated with cortical arousal that was used in several field studies to non-invasively assess the effects of aircraft noise on sleep. He is currently funded by the FAA to obtain current exposure-response functions describing the effects of aircraft noise on sleep for the United States. Basner has been an advisor to the World Health Organization (WHO) on the effects of traffic noise on sleep and health on a number of occasions. He performed a systematic evidence review on the effects of noise on sleep for the recently published revision of WHO's Environmental Noise Guidelines for the European Region. Basner is currently President of the International Commission of Biological Effects of Noise (ICBE...

Today on MedNet21, we're going to discuss Travel Medicine.

In 1495, a mysterious and deadly plague struck the city of Naples. Over the next 500 years, the medical attempts to understand and treat this new disease -- syphilis -- would mold and shape medicine in surprising ways. In this episode, Tony Breu and I will perform an historical and physiological biography of syphilis, covering the development of germ theory, epic poetry, mercury saunas, intentionally infecting patients with malaria, magic bullets, and lots and lots of experiments on poor rabbits.

Hello All and Sundry! In Lieu of our regular episode this week, we proudly present the first episode of Space 3D, hosted by Space Pharmacist Eleanor O'Rangers and Company. For those of you who love learning about the universe and space history, Space 3D is the place to be! Episodes will launch from here initially, then move to their own feed, so give them a try!For their debut, the Space3D crew is traveling to Skylab to learn about the medical aspects and workday anecdotes of life in space! Enjoy, and See you all again next week-Dr JPodcast #1- An Interview with Dwight Steven-Boniecki on Skylab medical capabilitiesDwight Steven-Boniecki was born in Sydney, Australia in 1969, a few months before manwalked on the moon. He spent much of his childhood fascinated with space exploration -growing up in the shadow of Apollo and under the direct influence of science fiction films suchas Star Wars. The latter shaped his desire to work in the film/television industry.Having worked in the television industry in Australia, the United States, Great Britain andGermany for nearly 25 years, Dwight's professional qualifications helped to complement hisunderstanding of the pioneering television achievements of the U.S. space program.Initially to satisfy his own curiosity, Dwight combined his professional background with hisinterest in spaceflight and researched the television systems developed by NASA. To hisdismay, he discovered that while the information was available, it was not easy to access, andhad never been comprehensively written about. He set about to change that, and ended upwriting the ward-winning book, "Live TV From the Moon" as well as “Live TV From Orbit.”An avid space historian, Dwight places a great amount of detail in presenting the story with therespect it rightfully deserves, but is often unfairly denied. To that end, he is also notable forauthoring the Apogee Books 3-book series, “Skylab: the NASA Mission Reports” and isfinalizing a documentary entitled, “Searching for Skylab”, which is planned for a 2018 release.Dwight is married and lives with his wife in Cologne, Germany. He regularly dazzles his workcolleagues with his unusual knowledge of all things NASA television camera related. In hisspare time, he enjoys assuming the virtual controls of Lockheed-Martin's Prepar3d flightsimulator, listening to classic rock (the Beach Boys and Harry Nilsson especially), and watchinga wide variety of feature films.---Emily CarneyA spaceflight blogger and author based on Saint Petersburg, Florida, Emily has written for ArsTechnica, The Space Review, and AmericaSpace.
