Podcasts about Tuberculosis

Tuberculosis – the world's deadliest infectious disease – could be dormant in your system for years before you realize you have it. In the U.S., it's relatively rare; provisional data shows that there were just over 10,000 cases in 2024. But in other parts of the world, especially lower-income countries, the disease is spreading much more actively. Worldwide, more than 10 million people are diagnosed with an active tuberculosis infection every year. And even though modern medicine has all the tools to cure it, over a million people around the world still die from the sickness annually.Author John Green thinks that's a problem. In his book Everything is Tuberculosis, he charts the spread of tuberculosis in the past to the lessons it has to teach us in the present.Interested in more science and medical history?

With Halloween coming up we bring you some spooky segments on zombies and vampires! Darren looks at the thought experiment about philosophical zombies also known as p-zombies. Does this idea make that much sense? Then Adam looks at cases of tuberculosis taking place in New England which, to people without a proper understanding of the germ theory of disease, were thought to be vampirism.

Welcome, my ghouls! In this episode, I explore the Gothic body, where beauty, death and desire intertwine. From vampire myths to historical obsessions with youth and purity, I uncover how the pursuit of eternal beauty has always revealed something darker about power, fear, and control. ***Listener Discretion is Strongly Advised*******************Sources & References:Kubiesa, Jane M.

On this encore of episode 454 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Maria Smilios, the author of ⁠The Black Angels: The Untold Story of the Nurses Who Helped Cure Tuberculosis⁠. In the course of their conversation, Keith and Ms Smilios discuss how numerous Black nurses fled the Jim Crow south in search of opportunity in the non-segregated north, and how many ended up working at Sea View Hospital on Staten Island, a facility focused on the treatment — and to a large extent the warehousing — of thousands of TB patients. Listeners may be shocked to learn that the American Nurses Association barred Black nurses from being members until they gave in to pressure in 1949, despite Black nurses' impressive contributions to the development of the profession. A native of New York City, Ms. Smilios holds a Masters of Arts from Boston University in Religion & Literature where she was a Henry Luce Scholar and a Presidential Scholar. She also taught Essay and Research writing in the university's writing program.  In 2007, she left Boston and moved back to New York City to teach at an all-girls high school. There she created and ran an intensive summer writing program for teens.  Maria formerly worked as a development editor in the Biomedical Sciences editing books in lung diseases, pediatric and breast cancer, neurology, and ocular diseases. It was during this time when she read a line in a book that led her to discover the story of the Black Angels.  Through writing the book, she has become in involved in advocating for affordable and accessible TB drugs in TB-heavy countries, working with and supporting organizations such as EndTB and Partners in Health. In the past, Ms. Smilios has written for The Guardian, American Nurse, Narratively, The Rumpus, Dame Magazine, and The Forward among others. The Black Angels is her first book.

Bonus Episode: Book Club with Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP and Angelo Giardino, MD, FAAP In months with five weeks, The Virtual Curbside pauses clinical discussions for something a little different - a pediatric book club. This month, host Paul Wirkus, MD, FAAP, sits down with Angelo Giardino, MD, FAAP, to explore Everything is Tuberculosis by John Green. Together, they reflect on the global impact of tuberculosis, its toll on developing nations, and the challenges and opportunities physicians face in responding to this enduring public health crisis. No credit available for this episode. See vcurb.com for additional episodes.

In this episode Merle and Lee speak with Eric Story (Western University) about his work on tuberculosis in the Canadian army during World War I. Eric begins by discussing disability studies and tuberculosis before focusing on the Canadian military during the war. As a social historian, Story examines the impacts of tuberculosis on different groups in Canadian society. He then expands on some of the attempts to treat tuberculosis through sanatoria while also calling attention to the fact that Canadian governments took care of soldiers' present and future, investing substantial resources for this purpose. The conversation also includes a reflection on writing about tuberculosis during Covid, public health and the forgetting(?) of Covid.

Imagine if you will that you're a 15 yr old boy, you've never met your father, and your mom died soon enough after your birth you don't remember her. You're raised by an aunt and uncle until one day your dad Niccolo and your Uncle Maffeo roll back into town and he's like "Hey I'm your Dad. Let me tell you about a guy named Kublai and a place called China." Two years later at 17, your dad decides it's time to return to China and the court of the Great Khan and you're coming along. After a dicey first leg of the trip where you may or may not have killed your first man, then almost due of Tuberculosis, you find out your Dad and Uncle have an all access pass for pretty much anything once you're within the Khan's lands, ANYTHING. You meet the Great Khan and he takes a shine to you and for the next 17 years you work for the Khan traveling throughout his empire as a representative under his protection. Marco would travel all over China the return to regale the Khan with stories of his own land in only the way that Marco could. He had a level of access to Kublai's Mongol Empire thats almost impossible to wrap your head around, but we're gonna try. Join us this week as we get Historically High and kinda erotic on Marco Polo.Support the show

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.

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.   

Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection By: John Green Published: 2025 208 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? The ubiquity of tuberculosis (wait, did I just restate the title?) especially outside of the US. And its prevalence despite the fact that a cure is available. What's the author's angle? Green was already interested in global health when he met Henry, a young man with tuberculosis (TB) in Sierra Leone, literally on the way out of the country. Green was so affected by Henry and his plight that it eventually led him to completely change his focus, and while I don't want to minimize the vast harms caused by TB, it's apparent that, for Green, it's personal.  Who should read this book? This is a good book to broaden your horizons. When you consider that (TB) kills over a million people per year. And when you consider that most Americans have only the most cursory knowledge about it (including, at the start, Green by his own admission) this book should be read just to fill out your knowledge of how the world really is. But also TB is terrible and it should receive more attention than it does.  Specific thoughts: Whatever else you may think TB should be getting more attention

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

This week's new remarks are occasioned by the Florida surgeon general's decision (which he may or may not have the power to enforce) to repeal all vaccine mandates in the state. 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.

On the Friday August 22nd edition of Georgia Today: Vice President J.D. Vance visits Peachtree City; Tuberculosis is on the rise in Metro Atlanta; and a new apartment building in Gwinnett County offers a place where unhoused men can get back on their feet. 

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. Dora Chen, MD, discusses a recent AJR article by Hong et al. that evaluates the potential use of generative AI for chest radiography interpretation in this setting.

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. If you are an AABP member interested in reproduction, consider joining the AABP Reproduction Committee by emailing fred@aabp.org. 

The City of San Diego made changes to a lawsuit to stop La Jolla from becoming its own city, saying the Association for the City of La Jolla did not collect enough signatures to continue its efforts. People who live in a Middletown neighborhood protested to stop a proposed 14-story high rise from being built on Columbia street. The County Health Department is warning people at Southwest High School that people there might have been exposed to tuberculosis.

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
