15th Annual James H. Cassedy Lecture in the History of Medicine - “ Anorexia in the Archives: Documenting the Late Twentieth Century Rise in Eating Disorders. ”
During the 1970s and 1980s, anorexia nervosa moved from being an obscure affliction to having epidemic status. The explosion in eating disorders during these years required to the creation of new hospital wings and specialized clinics around the world; it also inspired hundreds of successful movies and young-adult novels, shaped popular conceptualization of adolescence, led to new thinking about body dysmorphia and trauma, and had a major impact on theorists of both capitalism and feminism. Eating disorders were so pressing both because they were so devastating but also because they were spreading so rapidly and inexplicab...

NIH Director's Seminar Series: The ecology of emerging coronaviruses, from host reservoir to disease
In the past two decades, three coronaviruses have emerged and caused widespread outbreaks in humans. The origin of these zoonotic viruses has been traced back to bats as natural reservoir. Since the SARS epidemic in 2002 – 2003, the appreciation of bats as key hosts of zoonotic coronaviruses has advanced rapidly, but data underlying key drivers of the epidemic and pandemic emergence of these viruses remain limited. Here we discuss the emergence of MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2. Highlighting the origin, genetic diversity, pandemic potential, transmission dynamics, pathogenicity, and development of countermeasure against these b...

Socio-Cultural Responses within India during Times of Pandemic Disease
Focusing on the history of India, Dr. Mathew will explore the complex and underappreciated ways in which Indian folk-beliefs, myth, superstition, related stories (witnessed and fictional) and local traditions, have combined to inform the experience of epidemic and pandemic disease, including in the main, but not limited to, cholera, plague, influenza and COVID-19. Drawing on collections of the NLM and other institutions, he will investigate how these complex belief systems intersect with different kinds of information about these diseases, revealing how every new outbreak is accompanied with information that did not exist ...

Atlantic Antidote: Race, Gender, and the Birth of the First Vaccine
In 1804, the Spanish Crown introduced the smallpox vaccine to its empire, where vaccination was voluntary and where consent was a natural right ceded to parents. Despite these ostensible protections, authorities relied on enslaved, Indigenous, and other dispossessed bodies to incubate and reproduce the live vaccine and transport it across the empire. Analyzing this set of historical relations, Dr. Yero will ask what consent meant for parents and for children who were compelled to navigate epidemic disease, new means of prevention, but also the unequal structures of power that worked to narrowly define both freedom and moth...

Developing Meaningful Endpoints for Pain Clinical Trials (Day 2)
More than 25 million Americans suffer from daily chronic pain, a highly debilitating medical condition that is complex and difficult to manage. In recent decades, there has been an overreliance on the prescription of opioids for chronic pain, contributing to a significant and alarming epidemic of opioid overdose deaths and addiction. Innovative scientific solutions to develop non-opioid, non-addictive alternative treatment options are thus urgently needed.
One of the goals of the Helping to End Addiction Long-term (HEAL) Initiative is to accelerate the discovery and preclinical development of new medications and devices t...
