Race and disease risk and Berlin ’s singing nightingales
Noncancerous tumors of the uterus —also known as fibroids—are extremely common in women. One risk factor, according to the scientific literature, is “black race.” But such simplistic categories may actually obscure the real drivers of the disparities in outcomes for women with fibroids, according to this week’s guest. Host Meagan Cantwell speaks with Jada Benn Torres, an associate professor of anthropology at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, about how using interdisciplinary approaches— incorporating both genetic and cultural perspectives—can paint a more complete picture of how race shapes our understandi...

How dental plaque reveals the history of dairy farming, and how our neighbors view food waste
This week we have two interviews from the annual meeting of AAAS in Washington D.C.: one on the history of food and one about our own perceptions of food and food waste.
First up, host Sarah Crespi talks with Christina Warinner from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany, about the history of dairying. When did people first start to milk animals and where? It turns out, the spread of human genetic adaptations for drinking mil k do not closely correspond to the history of consuming milk from animals. Instead, evidence from ancient dental plaque suggests people from all over the world...

Alexander Perl, MD and James M. Foran, MD, FRCPC - Integrating Innovative Therapeutics With Allogeneic HCT in AML: Insights and Evidence From Induction to Maintenance
Go online to PeerView.com/PCE860 to view the entire program with slides. In this activity, based on a recent live symposium held at the 2019 TCT Meetings in Houston, Texas, experts in the management of AML illustrate the arrival of individualized care for HCT-eligible patients by profiling updated practice guidelines that support the use of novel agents across a range of clinical settings. The expert panelists also provide insights on the efficacy and safety evidence demonstrating that improved outcomes are possible when using cutting-edge targeted therapies, epigenetic modifiers, or antibodies in conjunction with transpla...
