The University of Maryland Medical Center made headlines not too long time ago, when it achieved a significant milestone in the field of xenotransplantation by successfully transplanting a genetically modified pig heart into a human recipient. The case study published in A Change of Heart: Animality, Power and Black Posthuman Enhancement in Malorie Blackman's Pig-Heart Boy notes: "In January 2022, a medical procedure conducted at the University of Maryland Medical Center hit the headlines: 57-year-old David Bennett had become the first to receive a porcine-to-human cardiac xenotransplant." This marked the second such procedure performed at the center. The patient who suffered from end-stage heart disease and was ineligible for a traditional human heart transplant underwent that procedure as a part of experimental treatment. Post-surgery, the patient also showed signs of recovery and offered hope for the future of xenotransplantation. <h4>How Pig Transplants Are Done? </h4> Xenotransplantation is the process of transplanting organs from one species to another. This, for the longest have been seen as an alternative to human organ donation. However, one of the major challenges in this was the immune rejection, which means a human body identifies animal organs as foreign, thus it goes into a fight mode and attacks. Advances in genetic modification and immunosuppressive therapy has helped make pig organs viable. <h4>Why Pigs? </h4> The question to everyone now is of course, "Why Pigs?" There are so many other animals and species right there, but why pigs? Given that humans are closest to primates, which are the monkeys we seen around us, so why did humans go for the pig's heart instead? This is because pigs have been chosen as an ideal species for xenotransplantation due to their physiological similarities to humans and their relatively short gestation period. To ensure that their organs are more compatible with humans, the scientists modify the pigs' DNA before birth. Now, this means, deleting specific pig genes to make it more acceptable to recipient's body. These modifications help reduce the likelihood of hyperacute rejection, which would otherwise occur within minutes of transplantation. <h4>The Transplant Process </h4> When the genetically altered pig grows, its organs are carefully collected in a sterile environment. To ensure the viability of the pig heart, it is kept cold and perfused. Before transplantation, doctors evaluate the patient's status and give immunosuppressive drugs to prevent instant rejection. The technique is similar to a normal heart transplant. The patient's damaged heart is removed, and the pig heart is carefully implanted into the major blood vessels. Once the heart is in place, surgeons restore blood flow and carefully monitor its performance. The patient is currently under strict observation in the intensive care unit, where specialists are addressing potential issues such as clotting, infection, or delayed rejection. How does it prevent rejection? Even after you genetically modify an object, the recipient's immune system can still act adverse towards it. So, to counter this, patients received a combination of immunosuppressive drugs which tailored to their specific needs. The role of these immunosuppressive drugs: These medications weaken the immune response, reducing the risk of the body attacking the pig heart. Researchers continue to refine these treatments to improve long-term success rates and minimize side effects. <h4>What Is The Future of Pig-Organ Transplant? </h4> Pig organ transplantation is still in its experimental stages, but successful cases are paving the way for its potential use in routine medical practice. Scientists are continuously improving genetic engineering techniques to enhance organ compatibility and longevity. Additionally, advancements in immunosuppressive therapies and bioengineering are expected to further increase the success rates of xenotransplantation. With millions of patients worldwide waiting for organ transplants and a persistent shortage of human donors, xenotransplantation could offer a life-saving alternative. Although challenges remain, such as ethical considerations and long-term viability, the progress made so far suggests that pig heart transplants could soon become a widely accepted medical treatment, bringing renewed hope to those in need of a second chance at life. <meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />

Rebecca Smith-Bindman, who is a professor at the University of California-San Francisco medical school has spent over a decade researching the risk of computerized tomography scans or the CT scans. She has been able to find its like with cancer causing elements. She and many like her have been pushing for federal policies that would improve the safety of patients who are undergoing CT scans. Under the new Medicare regulations which has ben effective from this year, hospitals and imaging centers must now collect and share more information about the radiation their scanners emit. In the United States, around 93 million CT scans are performed every year, notes IMV, which is a medical market research company that tracks imaging. The most number of people who are getting these scans are people over the age of 60, this comprises of more than half of the total number of people who get scanned. Despite such a big number, the regulations for safety and radiation levels and limitations that is needed in the machine to scan organs and structures within the body is scanty. Smith-Bindman point out that dosages are erratic and it varies from clinic to another, and are often unnecessarily high. <h4>CT Scan And Radiation </h4> When a person gets one CT Scan done, he is exposed to 10 to 15 times more of the radiation than another. The exposure levels could even surpass this number in many outlier institutions. These findings are published in the BMJ, titled International variation in radiation dose for computed tomography examinations: prospective cohort study. ALSO READ: <a href="https://www.healthandme.com/health-news/world-cancer-day-5-deadliest-types-of-cancer-article-151159907" data-type="tilCustomLink">World Cancer Day: The 5 Deadliest Cancers &amp; Key Risk Factors You Should Know</a> Her team also found in 2009 that high doses could be responsible for 2% of cancers and on going research shows that the number is way higher. While the cancer risk from CT scans for anyone is relatively very low, however, the risk may increase for patients who have numerous scans throughout their lives. Radiologists however do not want to scare the patients who can benefit from the imaging. Though in the closing months of the Biden administration the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services issued data collection rules to make imaging safer. It also required them to perform a careful assessment of the dosing, quality, and necessity of CT scans. The requirements, introduced in January, are being gradually implemented over three years for hospitals, outpatient facilities, and physicians. Due to the complex reporting system, not all radiologists or healthcare settings must comply right away. Starting in 2027, providers who fail to comply could face financial penalties under Medicare, though these will also be phased in over time. As and when Biden administration issued these guidelines, a CMS spokesperson told the NBC News that excessive and unnecessary radiation was a health risk that can be addressed through measurement and feedback to hospitals and physicians. Another organization that tracks hospital safety, called to Leapfrog Group, welcomed the new rules for increasing safety for patients, including pediatric exposure to imaging radiation. <meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />

Tuberculosis cases at an all time high due to USAID cuts

US health news

The United States have been at the upheaval of many health crisis, along with many changes within the health department, one of them being the USAID cuts. Amid all this the health authorities are calling attention to a consequence of this very step that could lead to a global surge in tuberculosis cases and death. This is in reference to the Trump administration's call of USAID cuts, which had provided about a quarter of the international funding for tuberculosis services in other countries. This had amounted to $250 million annually, noted the World Health Organization (WHO). The agency operated tuberculosis programs in 24 countries. Dr Tereza Kasaeva, director of the WHO's Global Programme on TB and Lung Health said, "Without immediate action, hard-won progress in the fight against TB is at risk." <h4>Tuberculosis and the US </h4> Globally, tuberculosis is responsible for the most deaths of any infectious disease. As per WHO data, around 1.25 million people died from the bacterial infection in 2023. It was also the same year when new cases hit at an all time high, around 8.2 million people being diagnosed with TB. How does US influence the fight against tuberculosis in the world? As per WHO, US funding cuts could affect the drug supply chains in other countries, which are now "breaking down". Not just limited to that, but laboratory services are "severely disrupted" and surveillance systems are "collapsing", which is making it difficult to identify, monitor and treat tuberculosis cases. Some research trials are also affected, since they have been put on a halt. The highest burden of disease is faced by many countries, the number as of now remains 18, where national tuberculosis programs are also affected. The most vulnerable countries are in Africa. In Uganda, the rollback of USAID funding has made it difficult for community health workers to pay. These workers play an important role in notifying people who test positive for tuberculosis and get them treated and screened for close contacts for infection. Most patients get a TB diagnosis after they leave the clinic because they wait for the results. They could be at hoe with TB, without knowing that they have TB. This is where these workers come to play who reach out to them with the adequate resources. Ever since the discontinuation of USAID happened, it has led to 3,600 additional TB deaths and 6,400 additional infections. The model that is affected the most is STOP TB Partnership, which is a United Nations organization that aims to eliminate tuberculosis as a public health problem. This increase in number could also affect the US as it would mean that more and more people from vulnerable countries are travelling to the US. As per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of tuberculosis cases have already been on high in the US. In 2023, the US recorded more than 9,600 cases of TB, which was a 16% increase from 2022, and a 9% increase over 2019. At this moment itself Kansas is dealing with an outbreak, with 68 active cases as of now since January. <meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />

We All Followed This One Hygiene Habit During COVID, Experts Say &#39;Let&#39;s Not Give It Up&#39;

For me, handwashing has become a ritual—one of the few moments when I’m entirely present, away from my phone, counting ‘Mississippi’ for a full 20 seconds. The pandemic placed a renewed focus on hygiene, emphasizing handwashing as a key defense against germs. While COVID-19 brought stress, uncertainty, and lifestyle disruptions, it also reinforced habits that should endure. From walking through stay-at-home mandates to readjusting to normalcy, one silver lining stands—our increased awareness of hygiene. Online discourse was filled with worries about dry, chapped hands, confirming that overhand washing became second nature. But should we allow this habit to dwindle? The pandemic of COVID-19 was a harsh reminder of the need for personal hygiene, and one single but effective habit was at the forefront: handwashing. During a time when the world was facing an unparalleled health emergency, washing hands well and often became a key instrument in the slowing down of the virus's spread. Today, as we proceed, health professionals firmly recommend that we continue to keep this important habit alive—not only for COVID-19 but for public health in general. Handwashing was usually skipped or done quickly before the pandemic. Most of us washed our hands carelessly without soap for the full 20 seconds. But when COVID-19 hit, public health messages, government regulations, and individual fear of getting infected made proper handwashing a daily necessity. Social media was filled with handwashing tutorials, offices added sanitizing stations, and grocery stores filled up on hand sanitizers and wipes. The outcome? An increase in global awareness of the role hand hygiene plays in preventing not only COVID-19 but also other contagious diseases like influenza, norovirus, and the common cold. The pandemic taught us to become more aware of our hygiene habits on a day-to-day basis. At home, at work, or when in public areas, washing one's hands became an automatic routine. Most developed habitual routines so that they made sure to thoroughly clean their hands each time they touched something, handled groceries, or came in from outside activities. Actually, a research study by Dyson revealed that although most people acknowledged the necessity of handwashing, only 47% of them knew that effective hand drying is just as important. Wet hands can spread as much as 1,000 times more bacteria than dry hands, which is why hands should be thoroughly dried using a clean towel or air dryer. <h2>Why Handwashing is More Important Than Ever? </h2> Since 2024 was dubbed the "year of disease" because of the resurgence of several viruses, such as seasonal flu, RSV, and emergent COVID-19 strains, good hand hygiene must be upheld. Handwashing stops the spread of virus and bacteria that can survive on surfaces for a span of hours or days. Specialists point out that this easy habit should not be abandoned after the pandemic but should be embedded in daily lives as a public health practice that lasts. Studies indicate it takes an average of 66 days to develop a new habit. COVID-19 measures having lasted so long, hand hygiene has probably become second nature to most individuals. The catch now is how to ensure this habit is sustained even after the pandemic. Behavioral psychologists recommend consistency is the key. As humans have learned to adjust to mask-wearing and social distancing, to keep up the habit of hand hygiene, one needs reinforcement. Small things like putting reminders in front of sinks, keeping hand sanitizer in a pocket, and using disinfectant wipes will keep the practice going. <h2>Lasting Benefits of Hand Hygiene </h2> The advantages of hand washing go well beyond the prevention of COVID-19. Frequent hand washing lessens the occurrence of foodborne disease, shields against gastrointestinal infection, and reduces the likelihood of respiratory disease. Schools, workplaces, and public areas need to keep emphasizing hand hygiene in order to develop healthier environments. In addition, correct hand hygiene is also important in the prevention of antibiotic resistance. The misuse of antibiotics has caused drug-resistant bacteria to increase, and infections are becoming more difficult to treat. By minimizing the transmission of germs through handwashing, we can decrease the demand for antibiotics, thus preventing antibiotic resistance globally. <h2>How to Maintain the Habit Post-Pandemic? </h2> Though the immediacy of COVID-19 might have lessened, hand hygiene is still a priority. Here's how you can make this habit a continued part of your daily life: Wash for the Full 20 Seconds: Sing "Happy Birthday" twice or count "Mississippi" to make sure you're washing long enough. Use Soap and Water Whenever Possible: Washing with soap and water is best to get rid of dirt, grease, and germs, but hand sanitizer works too. Dry Hands Properly: Don't wipe hands on clothing; use paper towels, clean cloth towels, or air dryers instead. Keep Hand Sanitizer Handy: If soap and water are not around, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with a minimum of 60% alcohol. Keep Using Disinfectant Wipes: Clean shopping carts, gym equipment, and high-touch surfaces to reduce germ spread. The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted our mindset towards hygiene, and experts are optimistic that these good changes will be long-lasting. Governments and health agencies must keep conducting public awareness campaigns to remind people of the significance of hand hygiene. Schools, workplaces, and healthcare facilities must make accessible handwashing stations a priority to promote regular practice. As flu seasons pass and new infectious diseases arise, hand hygiene is one of the easiest and most effective means of keeping ourselves and others safe. The pandemic has perhaps made us more aware, but the onus of good hygiene practices is now in our hands—literally. Though we might be ready to bid farewell to much of the pandemic, one practice is worth holding onto: handwashing. It is a simple behavior with a huge payoff, one that can prevent illness, lower healthcare costs, and save lives. <meta content="cms.next" name="cmsei" />
