Sex Testing in Sports: Does it Make Sense?

Healthcare Triage 2024-10-11 | The issues surrounding sex testing in sports may seem like a new phenomenon, but this has been coming up at least since women were allowed to compete in the Olympics – so, for like the past century or so. There’s a whole lot of concern over who is allowed to compete in women-only sports, and various “solutions” have been aimed at allaying those concerns. But are they effective? Do they make sense?

How Do Companies Decide Which Drugs to Develop?

Healthcare Triage 2024-08-27 | Between government funding and pharmaceutical industry spending, billions of dollars are spent annually to bring just a handful of drugs to market. That means some strategic investing is likely going on behind the scenes, and we were curious about the factors driving some of that strategy.

Thanks in part to support from the National Institute for Healthcare Management, that’s the topic of this week’s Healthcare Triage.

Why Do Prescription Drugs Cost SO Much?

Healthcare Triage 2024-08-16 | In 2020 the expected global expenditure on prescription drugs was somewhere around 1.3 TRILLION dollars, with around $350 BILLION of that spending being done in the United States. The US seems to have a particular issue in this area, with citizens paying much more than their counterparts in similar countries. But why do prescription drugs cost so much? And why do some cost so much more than others?

Special thanks to the NIHCM for supporting this special series on the costs of prescription drugs.

A Drug to Treat Food Allergy Reactions

Healthcare Triage 2024-04-13 | If you or someone you love has a life-threatening food allergy, you have to remain constantly vigilant for even the slightest exposure to that food, making even an outing to a restaurant an impossibility for some people. It can be exhausting, particularly with children, and there’s no cure for food allergies. However, the FDA recently approved Xolair for the reduction of allergic reactions to food.

Why Is Measles Making a Comeback?

Healthcare Triage 2024-04-06 | Measles is really contagious and can easily spread in pockets of unvaccinated people.

Painful Truths the U.S. Can Learn from Global Healthcare

Healthcare Triage 2024-03-22 | Thank to the Commonwealth Fund for supporting the production of this video.
The American healthcare debate is often a pendulum swinging between two extremes: maintaining the status quo and adopting a single-payer system. But what if we're asking the wrong questions? What if the answers lie not in the extremes but in the nuanced experiences of other countries? We need to shift the conversation from what we're against to what we're for and, more important, what we're willing to trade off to get there.

Zoloft, Mounjaro, and Social Stigma

Healthcare Triage 2024-01-12 | Drugs that do a pretty good job of easing symptoms of depression and drugs that really help people struggling with obesity have a couple things in common. The first is that we have almost no idea how they work, and the second is that there’s often shame around using them because so many people view issues of mental health and weight control as personal failings. In a recent article for the New York Times I argue that we should shift focus from these two things and focus instead on significantly improving people’s lives, which these drugs do.

Ways We Can Mitigate Climate Change

Healthcare Triage 2023-12-27 | We’ve spent a bunch of time this year examining the many, many health effects of climate change.

So, leaning on the works of actual climate change experts, we’re going to dig into what look like some of the most promising mitigation strategies at the moment.

Waterborne diseases can also increase due to higher temperatures and increased flooding. Learn more, and what we can do!

Public Health Solutions to Climate Change Problems

Healthcare Triage 2023-12-14 | Much of the conversation around climate change centers on things like lowering carbon emissions, which is obviously critical, but we think the public health response to climate change should be a larger part of the conversation. Whatever we do moving forward to address climate change, there’s no avoiding the fact that we will still face public health consequences of climate impacts. That sucks, but we can soften the blow if we prepare ourselves.

Aspartame and Autism?

Healthcare Triage 2023-12-01 | What's the deal with Aspartame and Autism? Whenever you see a study claiming that a single ingredient has a specific link to a specific health outcome, you should immediately feel wary. That’s because it is nearly impossible to conduct a study that provides solid evidence in support of such a claim. Let's look at the research

Climate Change Is Already Impacting Our Health

Healthcare Triage 2023-11-27 | Massive storms, flooding, extreme heat, droughts, air pollution, increased rates of disease, changes to our food and water… global warming, and the changes to climate that come with it, are increasing human health risks. Our physical and mental health both stand to suffer, and some populations are more vulnerable than others. What are the specific health issues, what can we do to address them, and most importantly – is there any hope?

We hope to answer these questions and more in a handful of episodes on Climate Change and Health. This year, we’re going to be taking a look at how Climate Change can impact health.

The Unequal Impacts of Climate Change

Healthcare Triage 2023-11-22 | Climate change is driven by humans and will affect us all. But it’s not driven by everyone equally, and it doesn’t affect everyone equally. In the last 250 years, 77% of global emissions were emitted by Europe, North America, Australia, and Japan. At the same time, carbon emissions from nearly all low-income countries have been negligible compared to those of rich countries. Despite this, some of the biggest impacts from climate change are expected to affect lower income nations that emit fewer greenhouse gasses per capita.

The Unequal Mental Impact of Climate Change

Healthcare Triage 2023-11-15 | We’ve been on a Climate Change and Health kick lately but so far, we’ve focused on the threats that our physical health faces on a warming planet. However, the looming cloud of climate change is tough on our mental health, too, and we should talk about that.

Debunking and Prebunking: How to Fight Misinformation

Healthcare Triage 2023-10-27 | It’s the final episode of our three-part series on health misinformation, and we want to spend these few minutes with you talking more about the best strategies for countering misinformation and how we can best deal with misinformation when we come face-to-face with it online.
Thanks in part to the National Institute for Healthcare Management, that’s the topic of this week’s Healthcare Triage.

How to Talk About Misinformation

Healthcare Triage 2023-10-13 | In the first part of this three-episode series we touched on the fact that misinformation has been around for a long time, and that it may seem like a recent problem because the internet has forever changed the way we share information.
Since the internet and social media are probably here to stay, the best thing we can do about information, and therefore misinformation, is to understand how we receive it, and how best to deliver it.

Misinformation About Health Is Nothing New

Healthcare Triage 2023-10-03 | Misinformation. A recent and major problem facing us all, and one that is pervasive in many realms including medicine and healthcare, which are, of course, favorite realms around here. But is all this stuff recent? Is misinformation a new phenomenon in the world of medicine and health, or does it have a history?

The answer to that, thanks in part to funding from the National Institute for Healthcare Management, is the topic of this week’s Healthcare Triage.

Studies Show New Weight Loss Medications are the Real Deal

Healthcare Triage 2023-09-19 | Back in 2021 we did an episode on Semaglutide, the then-recently-approved drug for weight loss that was originally approved for Type 2 diabetes. Since that episode another paper has come out on what happens to weight when the drug is discontinued, and another on Mounjaro, a drug approved for Type 2 diabetes.

Robert Kennedy, Jr. Is Wrong About Vaccine Testing

Healthcare Triage 2023-08-25 | RFK Jr. is claiming that scientists do not test vaccines with placebo-controlled trials, specifically against a saline placebo, and that all he’s asking for is that they are tested this way, as all other medicines are.

On its face alone, that probably sounds like a reasonable argument. I, too, would like vaccines to be tested in randomized controlled trials – and thankfully, THEY ARE.

Climate Change and Safe Drinking Water

Healthcare Triage 2023-08-12 | In our last climate episode we took a look at how climate change affects the spread of infectious disease. Unfortunately, that isn’t the end of our discussion of disease on a warming planet. Waterborne diseases are already a serious public health threat. As climate change continues and increases intense rainfall, periods of drought, and temperatures, our struggle with waterborne diseases is going to increase, too.

Does Cold Immersion Therapy Work? Lets Dive In.

Healthcare Triage 2023-06-27 | Cold plunging is…almost exactly what it sounds like: Immersing your body one way or another in super cold water. Some people do this by hopping in a tub full of ice water, some people take very cold showers, or some people dive into freezing cold lakes.

While a lot of people try to talk about this in very serious ways, calling it “cryotherapy” and extolling its health benefits in every outlet they can find, we were feeling skeptical about it. So we did what we always do – to the research!

The Latest on Artificial Sweeteners and Health

Healthcare Triage 2023-06-16 | Are there harms of artificial sweeteners that outweigh the benefits? We’ve asked this question before at Healthcare Triage, and the answer was no! There are lots of data that suggest artificial sweeteners are bad, but none of those data are good. There are good data suggesting that artificial sweeteners are just fine, but somehow those get ignored.
Now we’ve got a study on another artificial sweetener, erythritol, and many of you have asked what our take is.

Is ChatGPT Nicer than Your Doctor?

Healthcare Triage 2023-05-19 | Is the ChatGPT artificial intelligence chatbot more empathetic than your doctor? And does it deliver higher quality information? A recent study suggest that might be the case. At first glance we figured, sure, a chatbot never gets bored or impatient, so maybe at some point it outperforms a lot of burnt-out doctors. But there’s a lot of detail to consider here – so it’s a good thing that’s what we do here!
