It ’ s Not Just You: The Flu Is Bad This Year
This winter has brought a cold reminder that SARS-CoV-2 isn’t the only virus we need to think about. After two winters during which influenza was subdued by pandemic precautions, the last few months have shown that the flu is still a major public health threat that can overwhelm busy hospitals and cost thousands of lives.
This flu season is no 100-year outbreak. But it’s the most severe flu season since the start of the pandemic. “It looks very similar to some of the worst seasons in the past 10 years,” says John Huddleston, a staff scientist in the Bedford Lab at Fred Hutch Medical Center, where he...

Improving early-stage diagnosis and management of COPD in primary care.
Authors: Casaburi R, Duvall K
Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a preventable and treatable disease, but it often remains undetected in its mild and moderate forms.

Primary care physicians (PCPs) are most often the first point of contact, and therefore they are in the best position to identify patients at risk of COPD in the early stages. Consequently, they play a critical role in the management of the disease, particularly smoking cessation. One ...

The new mask-wearing policy was a motivation for vaccination but also offered an alternative to non-compliant HCW. Concerns about vaccine safety and efficiency and self-interest of health care workers are still main determinants for influenza vaccination acceptance. Better incentives are needed to encourage vaccination amongst non-physician HCW.

President Trump ’s COVID-19 Treatment Is Already Unique. Here’s What Doctors May Do Next
Just a few hours after revealing that he tested positive for COVID-19, U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday was helicoptered to Walter Reed Army Hospital, where he will be hospitalized for at least a few days “out of an abundance of caution,” the White House says; the First Lady, Melania Trump, has also tested positive.
How the President of the United States is treated for COVID-19 will likely be very different from how the 7 million-plus other Americans who have contracted the disease were taken care of, at least in some ways. To start, before Trump was hospitalized, his physician Sean Conley revealed that th...
