Why did the bacterium cross the road? To get to the Join the Docs podcast, of course! In this infectiously funny episode, Dr. Nigel Guest, our ever-curious family practitioner, sits down with none other than Yersinia pestis, the infamous bacterium behind the bubonic plague (). With a twinkle in his eye and a stethoscope around his neck, Dr. Guest dives into a conversation that's as infectious as it is informative, exploring the historical havoc wreaked by this notorious, nasty microbe.Ever wondered what it's like to be the life of the pandemic party? Yersinia pestis, doesn't hold back. Reflecting on its "achievements" with a mix of pride and humour, Yersinia boasts about its role in various outbreaks, including the infamous Black Death. "I was the original person to go viral ," the bacterium recounts its glory days, clearly demonstrating it does not know the difference between a virus and a bacterium butspreading faster than a juicy piece of gossip in a small town, and chuckles about its current status in the microbial hall of shame—er, fame.How does one bacterium manage to stay plague-fully relevant for centuries? Yersinia pestis attributes its longevity to a combination of adaptability and a flair for the dramatic. "I've always known how to make an entrance," it says with a wink, "and let's face it, who doesn't love a good comeback story?" The conversation takes a turn for the hilarious as Yersinia shares anecdotes from its plaguey past, including a particularly memorable stint in 14th-century Europe.Is it possible to make a deadly pathogen sound charming? Dr. Nigel Guest certainly thinks so, as he navigates the interview with the skill of a seasoned talk show host. "You've certainly left your mark on history," he says, barely suppressing a chuckle. Yersinia responds with a mischievous grin, "Well, you know what they say, go big or go home!" The episode wraps up with a light-hearted discussion on modern medicine and the bacterium's current status, proving that even the most sinister microbes can have a sense of humour.This episode is a rollicking, germ-spreading ride through time, disease, and laughter, guaranteed to leave you both educated and entertained. So grab your headphones, settle in, and get ready to laugh your way through the plagues of infectious history with Dr. Nigel Guest and the ever-entertaining Yersinia pestis.—--DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed on Join the Docs are those of Dr. Nigel Guest, Jonathan Sackier and other people on our show.

Naš sledeći gost je čovek koji je bio jedan od prvih na terenu i doktor koji je bio jedan od nadležnih za suzbijanje epidemije. Za svega nekoliko nedelja vakcinisano je oko 18 miliona ljudi u Jugoslaviji i zaustavljeno je napredovanje bolesti. Ni jedan jedini slučaj nije otišao dalje u Evropu i ovo se smatra jednim od najvećih uspeha u istoriji suzbijanja epidemija (pandemija). Njegovo ime je Zoran Radovanović. Povod za njegovo gostovanje sada je dokumentarni film “Još jedno proleće”, reditelja Mladena Kovačevića, koji se bavi epidemijom iz 1972. godine, a glavni narator u filmu je dr Zoran Radovanović.Bio je redovni profesor epidemiologije na medicinskim fakultetima u Beogradu (do 2000) i Kuvajtu (do 2007).Predavao je i na više univerziteta u zemlji i inostranstvu.Objavio je oko 300 naučno-stručnih radova, uključujući tridesetak monografija.

Episode 104: What is Monkeypox. Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by the monkeypox virus that belongs to the orthopoxvirus (smallpox) family. Nabhan, Dr. Schlaerth, and Dr. Arreaza discuss the basics of what is known about this disease. Introduction: Monkeypox By Hector Arreaza, MD. As of June 29, 2022, there are 5,115 confirmed cases of monkeypox in the world. The country with the most cases is the United Kingdom with >1,000 cases. In the United States, there are 351 confirmed cases, distributed in 28 states, and the state with the highest number of cases is California with 80 cases. Today we will briefly discuss the history, epidemiology, transmission, and management of monkeypox. By the way, by the time you listen to this episode, this disease may have a different name, as the World Health Organization is planning to rename it to minimize stigma and racism. Monkeypox is still rare, but because of the current outbreak, we need to include it in our list of differentials when we see rashes. Symptoms of monkeypox can include fever, chills, headache, myalgias, lymphadenopathies, and general malaise. The rash resembles pimples or blisters that appear on the face, inside the mouth, and on other parts of the body, like the hands, feet, chest, genitals, or anus. The rash goes through different stages before healing completely. The illness typically lasts 2-4 weeks. Monkeypox spreads by direct or indirect contact with rash, respiratory secretions, and vertical transmission from mother to fetus. Sometimes, people get a rash first, followed by other symptoms. Others only experience a rash. Currently, there is not a formal treatment for the disease. The information will continue to evolve in the future.

Comments by Katherine Schlaerth. Moderated by Hector Arreaza, MD. Background.Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic infection that results in a rash similar to smallpox. It is estimated that humans have been infected by the monkeypox virus for centuries in sub-Saharan Africa. Monkeypox is an orthopoxvirus that was first isolated in the decade of 1950s from a colony of sick monkeys. The variola virus and the vaccinia virus are in the same genus as the monkeypox virus. Variola is the smallpox virus, and vaccinia is the virus in the smallpox vaccine. The virion that has been seen in cells infected with the monkeypox virus looks exactly the same as the virions of variola or vaccinia viruses. It has a characteristic brick-like appearance. The two strains of monkeypox identified in different regions of Africa are Central Africa and Western Africa. It seems like the strain of Western Africa is less virulent and lacks a number of genes present in the Central African strain. Transition to talking about Epidemiology Why is understanding the epidemiology of monkeypox important? I think it's important to touch on the epidemiology of the virus because it will help healthcare providers better understand the disease and have a more productive discussion with their patients about this illness if they, unfortunately, happen to fall victim to it. Epidemiology In the 70s, the first time monkeypox was identified as a cause of disease in humans. It happened in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (formerly the Republic of Zaire). After that, only 59 cases of human monkeypox were identified in the decade between 1970 and 1980, with a mortality rate of 17%. All of these cases occurred in the rain forests of Western and Central Africa. These cases occurred in people exposed to rodents, squirrels, and monkeys. An important fact to note is that despite the virus being called “monkeypox”, monkeys and humans are incidental hosts; the reservoir remains unknown but is likely to be rodents. Despite the current common belief that this is the first outbreak of monkeypox in the US, the actual first outbreak of monkeypox in the Western Hemisphere occurred in the United States in 2003. Transition to talking about Transmission Is the monkeypox virus extremely virulent and transmissible just like SARS COV-2? All people born after 1972 have not been vaccinated against smallpox. Routine vaccination of the American public against smallpox stopped in 1972 after smallpox was eradicated in the United States. The virus can spread between animals and humans, just like COVID-19 is believed to be. Transmission Animal-to-human transmission – A person gets infected by monkeypox by contact with body fluids coming from an infected animal or through a bite. Monkeypox infection has been found in many types of animals in Africa, including rope squirrels, tree squirrels, Gambian poached rats, dormice, and different species of monkeys. Human-to-human transmission – In general, humans get infected from other humans through large respiratory droplets, which are produced during cough or sneezing. Also, a person can get infected by close contact with infectious skin lesions and particles or from sexual contact with skin lesions. Currently, transmission from person-to-person is very low. An outbreak of monkeypox was reported in May 2022 in non-endemic countries with over 90 confirmed cases. Non-endemic countries are all countries outside of Central and Western Africa. However, in this new outbreak, it appears that close contact with infectious skin lesions during sexual contact may be the most likely mode of transmission based on the majority of initial cases in Europe being recorded amongst men who have sex with men. As of this recording on June 8, 2022, there are a total of 1088 cases in 29 countries. The UK leads the world with 302 confirmed cases while the US only has 34 confirmed cases. Incubation periodThe classic incubation period of monkeypox virus infection is usually from 6 to 13 days but can range from 5 to 21 days. Important to note, however, is that persons with a history of an animal bite or scratch may have a shorter incubation period than those with tactile exposures (9 versus 13 days, respectively). So, the infection shows up earlier in people who get an animal bite or scratch. Management Most patients with monkeypox will have mild disease and recover without medical intervention. For patients who are symptomatic, most of them will not require hospitalization. Unlike chickenpox, the vesicular rash caused by monkeypox occurs all at once rather than new lesions appearing as old ones start to crust over and heal. Antivirals: In some rare cases, antiviral medications can be used for patients that become severely ill as a result of being immunocompromised from HIV, various cancers, organ transplant recipients, etc. The antiviral drug of choice is Tecovirimat. It's a potent inhibitor of an orthopoxvirus protein required for dissemination within an infected host. This medication protects nonhuman primates from lethal monkeypox virus infections and is also likely to be efficacious against infection in humans. It's interesting that these medications have been approved for smallpox treatment. In patients that have severe disease, dual therapy with Tecovirimat and Cidofovir is recommended. It has in vitro activity against monkeypox and has been shown to be effective against lethal monkeypox in animal models. However, there isn't any clinical data regarding Cidofovir's efficacy against monkeypox infection in humans specifically, and it also has significant side effects including nephrotoxicity. In June 2021, brincidofovir was approved for use in the US for the treatment of smallpox. Brincidofovir is an analog of cidofovir (meaning that it is almost the same with some small tweaks) that can be given orally. Given how new it is, however, its clinical availability is uncertain at this time. ____________________________Conclusion: Now we conclude our episode number 104 “What is Monkeypox.” Monkeypox is a developing story and we have presented information that may become obsolete in the future. For now, remember to rule out monkeypox in your patients who are highly suspicious to have it, for example, patients with STI-related rashes or with a viral illness followed by a papular rash. Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.This week we thank Hector Arreaza, Katherine Schlaerth, Nabhan Kamal, and Lillian Petersen.Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

A África não tem vacinas para a varíola dos macacos e os kits de testes estão em falta, segundo agências internacionais de saúde alegando que os países mais ricos já parecem estar acumulando vacinas. O continente africano registra, desde 28 de junho, mais de 1.800 casos de varíola dos macacos em 13 países.
Muito tem se falado sobre a varíola dos macacos, mas você sabe de fato o que é esta doença? Neste episódio entrevistamos o Dr. João Prats, médico infectologista da BP - A Beneficência Portuguesa de São Paulo, sobre esta varíola e quais são os riscos de contaminação nos pacientes com câncer e população imunossuprimida.

*) A varíola de macaco não é uma doença inofensiva. Não mesmo. Ao mesmo tempo, ela está longe de ser uma “nova Covid”, por vários motivos. Este episódio do podcast 15 Minutos fala exatamente sobre estes motivos. Também explica o que já se sabe sobre a doença e como combatê-la. O convidado é o Eli Vieira, biólogo, mestre em biologia molecular pela UFRGS e mestre em genética pela Universidade de Cambridge, Reino Unido. Ele é colaborador da Gazeta do Povo.***Ficha técnica: ‘15 minutos', podcast de notícias da Gazeta do Povo #Apresentação e roteiro: Márcio Miranda; direção de conteúdo: Rodrigo Fernandes; equipe de produção: Maria Eduarda Scroccaro montagem: Leonardo Bechtloff; estratégia de distribuição: Marcus Ayres.

What comes to mind when you think of the 1770s? The Revolutionary War, probably. As the war for independence from Great Britain raged, so did the worst epidemic in colonial American history. From 1775 through the early 1780s, more than 130,000 people -- European colonists, enslaved African-Americans, Native American tribes -- died from smallpox as the virus spread across the continent. The outbreak was so terrible it compelled General George Washington to require inoculations of all Continental Army soldiers, even though inoculations carried their own risks. In this episode historian Elizabeth Fenn, the author of Pox Americana, discusses how people coped with the ravages of the disease, and why most people know so little about it today.
Halo Kawula Muda!

Stay safe ya kawula muda!
Jakten på ett vaccin för covid-19 har varit en akut fråga ända sedan influensan förvandlades till en global pandemi. Att människan utvecklar immunitet mot vissa sjukdomar är en mångtusenårig kunskap – men när utvecklades egentligen det första moderna vaccinet? Hur snart började balansgången mellan folkhälsans bästa och riskerna för att enskilda personer utvecklar allvarliga biverkningar bli en seriös läkaretisk och politisk fråga? Och vad kan 18- och 1900-talets stora vaccinationer lära oss i vägvalen under den nuvarande pandemin? Veckans gäster är Motzi Eklöf och Maria Josephson. Motzi Eklöf är medicinhistoriker och förläggare, som bland annat forskat på smittkoppsvaccinationen i Sverige under 1900-talet och skrivit boken "Variola & vaccinia: om massvaccination och folkhälsopolitik, vaccinforskning och läkaretik" (Exempla, 2016). Maria Josephson är medicinhistoriker, disputerad vid Uppsala universitet, nu verksam vid Södertörns högskola och Karolinska institutet. Bildningspodden är en del av ANEKDOT – det digitala bildningsmagasinet, där Sveriges främsta humanioraforskare berättar, förklarar och fördjupar.

Lecture SummaryThe goal of the medical community is the eradication of communicable infectious diseases. Vaccines have given us the tools necessary to create such a disease-free future. Following complete eradication, vaccinations actually become unnecessary, as with smallpox. However new human diseases are a constant threat. In fact, this threat has never been greater. More pandemics will come that may be more deadly than COVID-19. We need to be ready and be on the lookout constantly. Key Points- Smallpox virus (Variola major) formerly killed about 30% of people infected and is thought to have killed 500 million people in its last 100 years of existence, before eradication in 1977.- Emerging infectious disease are broadly defined as diseases that have recently increased in prevalence or possibly could in the near future.- Completely new, previously unknown disease are also considered emerging.- Most new disease come from animal reservoirs - Diseases that infect humans from animal reservoirs can be dangerous as humans often lack immunity. Our bodies are caught off guard and lack defenses.- When pathogens obtain mutations, that allow them to spread from human to human, epidemics and even pandemics can occur. This is a dangerous cascade of mutations.- The prevalence of humans on earth along with our constant encroachment into the natural world, make the possibility of new diseases more likely than ever.- Feeding our large populations with meat has also led to increased animal production. Chickens, pigs, cattle, and other livestock can harbor disease, become infected with diseases from wild animal populations, that may then potentially spread to humans.- Many of our most intelligent minds were aware of the danger of truly novel infectious diseases prior to the COVID19 pandemic.- Many of these scientists had been sounding alarm bells for years.- The new mRNA vaccines used to combat COVID19 were first conceptualized in the 1990s. Such vaccines were meant to speed up the novel vaccine production pipeline, in anticipation of future epidemics and pandemics. - Scientists and public health officials are being attacked right now. These individuals will save us from much more devastating pandemics in the future. This attack on science needs to stop, or we will pay dearly in the future! References- Vourc'h, G., Bridges, V.

Smallpox was a devastating disease described as the scourge of the world. The Variola virus was responsible for countless deaths from antiquity to the twentieth century and left most survivors with lifelong scars. Using Variolation, a primitive form of vaccination, our ancestors attempted to blunt the full force of Smallpox infections. However, it wasn't until the twentieth century and using modern day vaccination techniques that we were able to achieve a monumental milestone and eradicate this disease.

Sie ist eine der furchtbarsten Krankheiten, die die Menschheit je heimgesucht hat. Variola – die Pocken. 40 Prozent der Infizierten starben, und die Überlebenden waren meist schwer gezeichnet: Durch Narben, Blind- oder Taubheit. Im 20. Jahrhundert machte sich die Menschheit auf, den Variola-Viren den Tod zu bringen. Autorin: Irene Geuer
The Adapt or Die Series goes Viral... Egyptians, Hittites, Athenians, Romans -- outbreak after outbreak Variola major has been a pox on our house from time immemorial. No other disease has weakened and crippled empires and wiped entire peoples off the earth like smallpox. It killed 400-500 million in the 20th Century alone. And now, through a millennium-long effort of blowing scab powder, scraping lesions, and really listening to dairy maids, it's gone. Almost. Artwork: Oz by Ian Armstrong

Vor wenigen Wochen beschloss die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO), weiterhin Pockenvirenstämme zu Forschungszwecken in ihren beiden Referenzzentren in Russland und den USA aufzubewahren. Für die Wissenschaft, so die WHO, ist die Arbeit mit den Variola-Viren nach wie vor wichtig. Zwar halten Virologen es für sehr unwahrscheinlich, dass die heute verbreiteten Tierpockenviren für den Menschen einmal ähnlich gefährlich werden könnten wie zuvor Variola. Aber sie können es nicht ausschließen.
