Who's to blame for the death of Edgar Allen Poe?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) tackles the mysterious death of famed author and poet Edgar Allen Poe. Known for his fascination with the macabre and for telling tales of mystery and psychological terror, did Poe manifest a similar mysterious fate for himself? Perhaps he was jumped by a group of ruffians put off by his alcoholic tendencies and notorious foul attitude. Or maybe it was something as simple as Tuberculosis, a common killer of the time. Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.

Several preventable diseases are experiencing a resurgence due to declining vaccination rates. These include:  Diphtheria: A bacterial infection that can lead to a thick membrane in the throat and respiratory failure.  Tuberculosis: A bacterial infection that can affect the lungs and other organs.  Chickenpox: A viral infection that can cause blisters and scarring.  Polio: A viral disease that can cause paralysis.  Measles: This highly contagious virus can lead to serious complications, including pneumonia and encephalitis.  Mumps: A viral infection that can cause swelling of the salivary glands and complications such as meningitis.  Rubella: A viral infection that can cause birth defects in pregnant women.  Pertussis (whooping cough): A bacterial infection that can cause severe coughing fits and respiratory problems, especially in infants.  It's important to note that these diseases can also spread among vaccinated individuals, but the vaccines significantly reduce the risk of infection and its severity.

In this episode, Ben and Buddha discuss infectious diseases in Nepal, focusing on tuberculosis (TB). They highlight Nepal's epidemiological shift from to non-communicable diseases, while noting that TB continues to disproportionately affect poor and vulnerable populations, framing it as a “poor man's disease” shaped by poverty. Despite effective, low-cost preventative therapies and lessons from past successes, TB persists due to limited funding, attention, and advocacy.  Dr Buddha Basnyat is a physician and clinical researcher. A leading expert in infectious diseases, high-altitude medicine, and antimicrobial resistance in Nepal,  he has conducted landmark typhoid treatment trials and shaped national antibiotic guidelines. He co-founded Oxford University Clinical Research Unit Nepal and was recently honored with the (NHRC) Lifetime Achievement Award for Health Research in Nepal, recognizing his exceptional.If you liked the episode, hear more from us through our free newsletter services, PEI Substack: Of Policies and Politics ( ⁠⁠https://policyentre.substack.com/welcome⁠⁠ ), and click here ( ⁠⁠https://patreon.com/podsbypei⁠⁠ ) to support us on Patreo

Then we return to the first time the Pirates traded a future MVP and revisit the sad story of Cardinal catcher Bill DeLancey. Apologies for the lack of a farewell note--the mixdown was being very wonky and I couldn't get through it without it crashingThe Infinite Inning is a journey to the past to understand the present using baseball as our time machine. Baseball, America's brighter mirror, often reflects, anticipates, and even mocks the stories we tell ourselves about our world today. Baseball Prospectus's Steven Goldman discusses the game's present, past, and future with forays outside the foul lines to the culture at large. Expect history, politics, stats, and frequent Casey Stengel quotations. Along the way, we'll try to solve the puzzle that is the Infinite Inning: How do you find the joy in life when you can't get anybody out?

On a cold night in the early 1930s, a young West Virginian named Tom Kromer huddled in a railway boxcar as it rattled westward across the country.Hungry, sleepless and surrounded by other men just trying to make it through the night, Tom braced himself against the trembling boxcar wall and scribbled a few observations on a scrap of paper. Five years later, those notes — scrawled on Bull Durham papers, in the margins of religious tracts in a hundred rescue missions, upon wastepaper scavenged from the cluttered floors of county jails — would become Waiting for Nothing, Kromer's raw, unflinching autobiographical novel that portrayed America's dispossessed during the Great Depression.From HuntingtonTom Kromer's story begins in Huntington, WV, where he was born in 1906. His father, an immigrant who had spent his boyhood in the coal mines, died young from cancer. His mother dreamed that her children would escape that hard life through education, and for a while, it looked as if Tom might. He attended Marshall College (later University) off and on, but never managed to finish. When the stock market crashed in 1929, Tom's tuition ran dry and so did his prospects.The real turning point came when Kromer left school and set out west, hoping for farm work.Finding no work, Tom slipped into a life “on the fritz,” his phrase for years spent as a hobo moving from one town to the next from his West Virginia hills to the California coast. Unlike the romantic drifter of folklore, Kromer was, in his own words, “a tramp of circumstances.” He begged, starved, took shelter where he could. It was not uncommon for him to go days without food. It was brutal. But it also gave him a voice unlike any other.The Novel was BornIn 1935, he published his acclaimed novel Waiting for Nothing. Written in jagged, stark prose, it asked for no pity, offered no sentimentality. Kromer stripped life down to the details of what it took to survive as a “stiff,” lining up at soup kitchens, hopping freights, making the complicated calculations of what a hungry man might do for a meal. Critics compared Kromer's style to Hemingway. His themes were hunger, fear, endurance, and above all, the cruelty of a system that left millions with nothing. He wasn't interested in prettying up the story.Kromer's second novel, Michael Kohler, would have turned to the struggles of working-class families and the violent West Virginia mine wars, but illness stopped him short. Tuberculosis gnawed away at his health, and by the 1940s, he had retreated to New Mexico with his wife, Janet. After her death in Albuquerque in 1960, Tom returned to Huntington, where his sisters cared for him until his own death in 1969.Our Song about TomFor decades, Tom Kromer's name nearly vanished, even in his hometown of Huntington. But now, through the good works of Marshall University English professor Stefan Schöberlein and his Appalachian literature students, Tom's work has been rediscovered and brought to a new generation of students.Reading a recent reprint of Waiting for Nothing, we in The Flood were struck by how Tom's unsentimental eye fixed on the hungry and the forgotten of the Depression Era. Moved by the novel, the band decided to lend its hand in carrying on the Tom Kromer story by writing and recording this ballad to celebrate Huntington's long-forgotten native son.Following the lead of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger and Lead Belly, we set our lyrics to a traditional melody (in this case, a mashup of the thematically appropriate “Tramp on the Street” and the old hymn, “Farther Along”).We hope the song encourages you to learn more about Kromer and his important work. A great way to start learning is to visit the new Thomas Kromer Digital Archive created by Schöberlein and his students, where you can read all of Waiting for Nothing online for free.Click here to reach the archive. And if you'd like to own a printed copy of Tom's novel, that reprint we read is available from Amazon.com. However you choose read Tom Kromer, we think you'll see for yourself that even in the darkest corners, someone can be compassionately paying attention. This is a public episode.

In Episode 203, Gayle Weiswasser, co-founder of Wonderland Books, an independent bookstore in Bethesda, Maryland, returns to the podcast with Sarah for a one-year check-in on the shop's journey. From holiday-season chaos to surprising customer favorites, Gayle shares what worked, what didn't, and why she still handpicks every title on the shelves — plus the biggest lessons (and mistakes) from year one. Plus, Gayle shares some great book recommendations. This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). CLICK HERE for the full episode Show Notes on the blog. Highlights Gayle shares what it was like to open the bookstore right before the holiday season. How the store's first year compared to their original projections and expectations. The now-dispelled fears Gayle had before opening. Why she's glad they curated every book in their inventory themselves, and why they still do all the book buying in-house. The course correction Wonderland had to make in their romance section. The biggest mistake they made before opening their doors. Which genres and titles have become customer favorites and which don't seem to sell well. How they plan and host book events — and why those events are such a key part of the store's community success. The books that taught them exactly how (and how not) to decide how many copies to order. The surprising punch poetry has packed with customers. Whether Gayle's own reading life has bounced back after the pre-opening stress and time crunch.

In the winter of 1892, the quiet town of Exeter, Rhode Island, became the stage for one of New England's most infamous cases of vampire panic. Tuberculosis, then called “consumption”, was killing families one by one, and superstition filled the gaps science couldn't explain. When 19-year-old Mercy Brown died, neighbors whispered she wasn't at rest… that she was undead and feeding on her brother from beyond the grave. You can find Edwin social media as @edwincovHave an idea you want to send?

Full article: Multimodal Generative Artificial Intelligence Model for Creating Radiology Reports for Chest Radiographs in Patients Undergoing Tuberculosis Screening Widespread radiographic screening for tuberculosis can be challenged in certain regions by limited radiologist availability.

Christoph Gradmann (University of Oslo) joins Merle and Lee to discuss his new book on 20th century tuberculosis in Tanzania seen through the records of Kibong'oto hospital, the main hospital that treated the disease in the region. The conversation begins with some context about Tanzania and its history during and after the colonial period. As a case study, Kibong'oto is important in two ways that comes across the discussion. First, it highlights tuberculosis as a 20th century disease, as opposed to the 19th century disease that appears in most textbooks. Second, it represents a story about biomedicine under difficult conditions - including patient resistance to certain treatments. In the discussion, Christoph points out some of the sources he uses - such as case books - and the changes in their quality over time. Before conclusion, Christoph also reflects on writing his book during Covid and goes into some detail in discussing Covid in Tanzania.

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Elizabeth Lahmers, Chief Veterinary Officer, and Dr. Tony Good, Vice President of Production Operations, from Select Sires, Inc. Both Good and Lahmers also serve on the Board of Directors of Certified Semen Services. This episode of Have You Herd? is brought to you by the AABP Reproduction Committee. Certified Semen Services (CSS) was established in 1976 and is a subsidiary of the National Association Animal Breeders. The primary purpose of the program is to prevent the spread of disease through semen and is considered to be the gold standard certification program for artificial insemination. The main diseases that are screened through the program are Campylobacter, Trichomoniasis, Tuberculosis, Brucellosis, BVD and Leptospirosis. The key benefits to breeders and farmers with CSS is that the semen is from a bull that has met minimum standards.  Our guests also discuss some of the challenges they experience with receiving potential bull studs into their program. Both IBR and Lepto titers remain a challenge. Our guests encourage veterinarians to work with bull studs on housing and vaccination protocols to ensure that potential studs do not have titers that would eliminate them from the program. They also mention that better tests are needed for some of these diseases to differentiate titers from infection versus vaccination.  The benefits of the CSS program include improving fertility through extenders, expansion of export markets, ensuring processes and controls are in place for prevention of disease, and establishing a growing relationship with USDA. To find out more information about Certified Semen Services, visit this website.

Indianapolis is one of the hotbeds of Histoplasmosis, which is often misdiagnosed and can lead to other health issues throughout the body.  In this episode, you'll learn:—What Histoplasmosis is and the symptoms of it, which "seems like the flu when you get it".  And how "a lot of doctors aren't even aware of it".—The story of how Dr. Prather's own father suffered from COPD as a result of an underlying Histoplasmosis infection he contracted as a kid by being in charge of the chicken coop.—The difficulty in accurately testing for Histoplasmosis, which can be misdiagnosed as Tuberculosis, Lyme Disease, Sarcoidosis, or Macular Degeneration.  And how Histoplasmosis is "the number one cause of blindness in Indiana".—How Antibiotics and Steroids that are often prescribed by doctors will actually make the Histoplasmosis "take off" and become "systemic".—Why Indianapolis is such a center for Histoplasmosis outbreaks.  And why Dr. Prather says that everyone who has lived in the area for 5 years has Histoplasmosis.—The natural products Dr. Prather has found to be even more effective for Histoplasmosis than prescription drugs because they actually rebuild the body's immune system.  And why Dr. Prather says "the strongest anti-fungal medicine known to man" is Oregano Oil.—The importance of Homeopathy, which Dr. Prather says has made a big difference in "the real serious cases" of Histoplasmosis.  And why Dr. Prather says "you are going to have problems" if your Vitamin D and Vitamin A are low. —How a weakened immune system, nutritional deficiency, or stress are usually the reasons that a Histoplasmosis infection takes off in the first place.  And how you probably have a secondary Histoplasmosis infection that needs to be addressed if you live in Indianapolis and have Long COVID.—Why Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and Diathermy are helpful for Histoplasmosis.  And the Spleen-21 Acupuncture point that causes people to feel immediately better when they are sick.—How Dr. Prather has had patients suffering from Kidney failure and patients dealing with Hypertension whose real underlying issue was Histoplasmosis.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

During the peak of the Tuberculosis pandemic, white nurses at Sea View Hospital in Staten Island, New York quit because they refused to care for Tuberculosis patients. As a result, the hospital recruited over 300 Black nurses throughout the country. As a result of their heroic act, these nurses were called the Black Angels. Ruben Britt speaks with one of the last living Black Angels, Dr. Virginia Allen.

Howie and Harlan are joined by Azita Emami, dean of the Yale School of Nursing, to discuss the school's approach to training nurses who can have a seat at the table of healthcare decision-making.

Tuberculosis is entirely curable and yet also the deadliest infectious disease in the world. That paradox has fascinated John Green, the popular YouTuber and author of The Fault in Our Stars, ever since he met a boy called Henry at a TB hospital in Sierra Leone. Green's new book, Everything is Tuberculosis, tells Henry's story and asks why this disease still kills more people every year than homicide, war, and malaria combined.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: John W. Wilson, M.D. Tuberculosis remains a significant health concern. Globally, in 2023, an estimated 10 million individuals developed active tuberculosis and over one million died of the disease. In the U.S., just under 10, 000 individuals in the U.S. were diagnosed with TB, representing an increase over 2022. While tuberculosis remains a treatable disease, it's important to suspect and recognize those who may have it. A class 5 tuberculosis case is part of a TB classification system and refers to a suspected tuberculosis infection that requires further investigation. Symptoms may or may not be present and these patients may have an active TB case that could be contagious. This podcast is about class 5 tuberculosis cases, and my guest is infectious disease specialist, John W. Wilson, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic.

Episode 145 of Ninjas Are Butterflies dives deep—literally and metaphorically. This week, we uncover the United Nations' secretive mission to harvest dark energy from the ocean floor and explore the mysterious technology possibly powering it. Then, we head to Michigan where a new Bigfoot sighting isn't just a local legend—it's connected to both biblical history and Native American folklore. We also break down the surprising ways tuberculosis shaped world history, from literature to political revolutions. As always, we ask the big questions, chase the weird answers, and make sense of the nonsense along the way. If you like conspiracy theories, cryptids, ancient mysteries, or just unfiltered conversation, you're in the right place.

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 117 –  Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger lurk the streets of downtown Manchester, Vermont, searching for a demon vampire. In 1793, the body of Consumption victim Rachel Harris Burton was exhumed after three years in the ground. Her vital organs were cut from her chest and burned in a nearby forge. Those ashes were then fed to Isaac Burton's second wife, Hulda, in an effort to break the vampire's spell. When there's a plague, monsters are never far behind.
