The Getting2U crew get the chance to meet with Dr. Amit Achhra, one of Connecticut’s top Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI) specialist, and discussed the current trends of STIs in Connecticut and across the country, as well as dive into DoxyPEP and learn all there is to know about this newly approved approach to combat the spread of STIs.

The team’s Hot Topic discussion was on Emory University’s discovery using JAK inhibitors to bring us one step closer to discovering a cure for HIV. The link to their announcement is here.

Dr. Achhra made an awesome recommendation for providers who want extra support with their patients dealing with STIs to use the CDC’s STDCCN.org resource. Providers will get matched to local experts who can provide guidance and even treat their patient, if needed!

In this episode of the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine Podcast, our hosts dive into the profound and often overlooked consequence of global warming: the rising threat of emerging diseases. Join us as we uncover the intricate relationship between climate change and the proliferation of new, potentially deadly illnesses. We’ll explore how shifts in temperature, habitat disruption, and the movement of disease vectors are paving the way for previously unknown health risks, and how we as a society should adapt to these new risks.

We have tremendously increased the safety and efficacy of our Neuraxial blocks. The consequences of our success have resulted in a limited number of general anesthesia cases for trainees during their obstetric anesthesia rotation. In this episode, I discuss with Dr. Delgado, author of the review article The Current Role of General Anesthesia for Cesarean delivery, what can be done to improve our ability to be prepared when general anesthesia (GA) is needed. We discussed various topics ranging from predicting patients at risk for GA, to using a rapid sequence spinal technique to avoid GA, and the need for high-fidelity simulations to maintain our skills when general anesthesia is needed.
