Understanding the Biological Mechanisms Underlying the Health Consequences of Racism, Marginalization, and Discrimination
The marginalization of groups based on socially constructed categories of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender, and other identities produces biological consequences that contribute to health disparities in a variety of diseases and conditions, including many under the purview of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK). For example, substantial racial and ethnic disparities exist in obesity, diabetes, and end-stage kidney disease. Racism, marginalization, and discrimination (RMD) is embedded into the structure of American society, which increases exposure to adverse social determ...

NIH Director's Seminar Series - The perfect storm: Intersections of social determinants of health, commercial determinants of health, and commercial tobacco use disparities
Commercial tobacco use continue to be leading preventable cause of disease and death in the US. This is even truer during the COVID-19 pandemic as the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concluded that current and former smokers are at elevated risks for severe COVID-19 symptoms than nonsmokers. Disparities in commercial tobacco use by social determinants of health have been well documented. However, how interactions of social determinants relate to commercial tobacco use remains largely understudied. Additionally, few studies have investigate how commercial tobacco use influence social determinants of health (e....

Toward Understanding COVID-19 Infection, Transmission, and Pathogenesis at Single-Cell Resolution with the Human Cell Atlas
NIH COVID-19 SIG Lecture Series
The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2, creates an urgent need for identifying molecular mechanisms that mediate viral entry, propagation, and tissue pathology. Single-cell analysis of healthy- and SARS-CoV-2-infected tissues offers a unique lens to identify these mechanisms. In an international integrated analysis of the Human Cell Atlas Lung Biological Network--which spans more than 100 single-cell and single-nucleus RNA-Seq datasets previously collected from healthy tissues and includes many previously unpublished studies--we identified the cell types throughout...

Demystifying Medicine 2019 - Premature and Unusual Causes of Coronary Heart Disease
Demystifying Medicine 2019
Coronary heart disease is the most common cause of death worldwide, comprising nearly 16 percent of all deaths annual. While many risk factors are known — aging, smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise — in some cases, the etiology often remains a mystery. More worrisome is the increasing presence of the disease in younger populations, with injury to the inner layer of a coronary artery sometimes manifesting itself as early as childhood.
For this Demystifying Medicine lecture, we bring you two speakers who are providing new insights into Coronary heart disease by studying unique patient populati...

Pathways to Prevention Workshop Appropriate Use of Drug Therapies for Osteoporotic Fracture Prevention (Day 2)
About Osteoporotic Fractures
More than 10 million people in the United States have osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder that causes bones to become weak and fragile as a result of low bone mass. The condition makes people more susceptible to fractures, which can impair their ability to live independently and even threaten their lives. The social and economic burden of osteoporotic fractures is substantial. Reducing osteoporosis prevalence and hip fracture incidence are among the major objectives of Healthy People 2020, the U.S. Department of Health& Human Services ’ national health promotion and disease prevention initiativ...

E-cigarettes: Back to the Future
NIDCR Clinical Research Fellowship Grand Rounds
E-cigarettes are a rapidly growing form of recreational nicotine use that is being promoted as a safer alternative to cigarettes. Use, particularly among youth, is growing rapidly. This development raises the question of how to respond to the introduction of a new product when the specific dangers are not fully defined. This presentation will review what is known about the health and behavioral effects of the growth of e-cigarettes and identify important determinants of the long-term population health impacts of e-cigarettes.Air date: 5/15/2015 12:00:00 PM (Source: Videocast - All Events)
