Before Sirius, before RiotCast, there was just “Weird Medicine”, a stupid idea no one thought would go anywhere. As our 2nd year with RiotCast begins, enjoy the very first episode of Weird Medicine on broadcast radio. October 13, 2007…I remember it well…

052 – A Giant Penis for Rob Sprance

drsteve@doctorsteve.com (Doctor Steve) — Wed, 01 May 2013 03:40:43 +0000

We do our 1 year anniversary show and none of us noticed until I started writing the liner notes. Basically we talked about dicks on this show. Hopefully we’ll do a “real” anniversary show next week (if we remember). Thanks to everyone who listens to this cluster F and especially to Rob Sprance, the founder of RiotCast and his partner Robert Kelly who for some reason actually like and believe in our show.

Avian Influenza A (H7N9) Virus

drsteve@doctorsteve.com (Doctor Steve) — Mon, 08 Apr 2013 18:46:15 +0000

[This website is usually about "shits 'n' giggles" (literally, sometimes) but this is an important advisory from the CDC. Things to do:

DON'T PANIC
Always wash your stupid hands before eating or after touching something nasty (including human hands)
DON'T PANIC
Don't watch "Contagion" anytime soon

Help is on the way; these viruses are susceptible to drugs we already have (e.g., Tamiflu) and a vaccine is in the works for this crappy virus. Below is the advisory from the CDC.]

On April 1, 2013, the World Health Organization (WHO) first reported 3 human infections with a new influenza A (H7N9) virus in China. Additional cases have been reported since.

(http://www.who.int/csr/don/en/)
(http://www.cdc.gov/Other/disclaimer.html)

At this time, no cases of H7N9 outside of China have been reported. The new H7N9 virus has not been detected in people or birds in the United States.

Most reported cases have severe respiratory illness and, in some cases, have died. According to WHO, no person-to-person spread of the H7N9 virus has been found at this time, and the reported cases are not linked to each other. An investigation by Chinese health authorities is ongoing to find out the source of these infections and detect any more cases.

This new H7N9 virus is an avian (bird) influenza (flu) virus. Human infections with avian influenza (AI, or “bird flu”) are rare but have occurred in the past, most commonly after exposure to infected poultry. However, this is the first time that this bird flu subtype (H7N9) has been found in people. This virus is very different from other H7N9 viruses previously found in birds.

This is a “novel” (non-human) virus and therefore has the potential to cause a pandemic if it were to change to become easily and sustainably spread from person-to-person. So far, this virus has not been determined to have that capability. However, influenza viruses constantly change and it’s possible this virus could gain that ability. CDC takes routine preparedness actions whenever a new virus with pandemic potential is identified, including developing a candidate vaccine virus to make a vaccine if it were to be needed. There is no licensed H7 vaccine available at this time.

CDC is following this situation closely and coordinating with domestic and international partners. In addition, CDC is:

Issuing guidance to U.S. clinicians and public health departments (http://emergency.cdc.gov/HAN/han00344.asp) on how to test for this virus.
Modifying test kits so that this specific virus can be easily and accurately identified
Reviewing genetic sequences of the virus to learn more about it
Gathering more information to make a more extensive assessment of the public health risk posed by this virus.

The sequences of the first three viruses were posted to GISAID (http://platform.gisaid.org/epi3/frontend#4195bc) by China and are publicly available. Some of the genetic changes have been associated with increased transmissibility of other AI viruses to mammals based on animal studies involving ferrets in the past. So far, all three viruses seem to be susceptible to the influenza antiviral drugs oseltamivir and zanamivir, but they are resistant to the adamantanes.

This is an evolving situation and there is still much to learn. CDC will provide updated information as it becomes available. General information about avian influenza viruses and how they spread is available at Avian Influenza A Virus Infections in Humans (/flu/avianflu/avian-in-humans.htm) .
