Even within the overall science of speech pathology, there are many sub disciplines, and many practitioners only work with certain types of people, such as children or the elderly. This is useful, as each group of people has special characteristics which make certain types of problem far more prevalent than in other groups.

Ian Orme is a professor in the Department of Microbiology, Immunology, and Pathology at Colorado State University, and his research focuses on the immune response to tuberculosis (TB) a bacterial disease that most often infects the lungs. He s speaking at the American Society for Microbiology s upcoming meeting on Continuing Undergraduate Education (ASMCUE). In the U.S., TB seems like a thing of the past. Here, public health measures and medical care have all but wiped out the threat from this infection. But worldwide, the WHO says there were 9.2 million new TB cases in 2006 alone, and each person with TB infects an average of 10 to 15 people with the TB bacterium every year. (See the WHO s fact sheet on TB here: http://www.who.int/tb/publications/2008/factsheet_april08.pdf and http://www.who.int/tb/publications/2008/factsheet_april08.pdf. But brace yourself this is some scary stuff.) These are just some of the reasons Dr. Orme is delivering a talked titled Tuberculosis: Why Now Is a Good Time to Leave the Planet at ASMCUE. He admits leaving the planet isn t a practical suggestion, but he wants to raise awareness of the disease and he s not afraid to stir the pot a little. Orme and his group not only study the immune responses to TB bacteria, they re also following a number of different avenues for developing new vaccines and improving the existing vaccine, BCG (bacille Calmette-Gu rin). In this interview, I talked with Dr. Orme about his vaccine work, why he thinks latent TB bacteria aren t really latent, and how he sometimes feels like the wild-haired radical, cat-calling from the corner of the lecture hall.

In this episode Will has returned and Nick announces the true identity of Rick By Night. After discussing a lost episode of Geekeasy soon to air, Nick and Will talk about Dollhouse. Then after discussing the gender of the show, Will mourns the conclusion of Battlestar and confesses his newfound love of How I Met Your Mother. Nick brings up a new show named Eastbound and Down and Will loves Milo Ventimiglia in Pathology. Insight is provided into the daily lives of Nick and Will via a lunchtime story and Nick finds a movie worse than Delgo, Miss March. After talking about whether or not forums are a good thing, Will wonders why he becomes addicted to simple games and recommends a new comic site zeroes2heroes.com. Finally, the guys drop the big news and end by answering an e-mail. Also included in this episode: the redemption of the Saw franchise, Heroes, the various faces of Robin Williams, Season 3 and 4 of Buffy, Epic Fail, and Viral Videos of the Week.

Feeling and expressing emotions appropriately in the right context is an essential component of social behavior. It has been suggested that emotional functioning has been weakened among contemporary Japanese youth, who exhibit acute social withdrawal, a "cultural pathology" known as Hikikomori (Hattori, 2005; Zielenziger, 2006). Assuming that Hikikomori is at least partially caused by socio-economic uncertainties faced by younger generations, we predicted that the syndrome is not confined to a clinical subpopulation but should be manifested by even undiagnosed youth, though in moderated form, as a negative function of their family socio-economic status (SES). Results from an emotion-sampling study in which participants' reported their momentary emotional states 12 times per day for one-week during the course of their daily lives and a laboratory experiment which measured psycho-physiological responses to emotional stimuli both supported this prediction. Implications of these findings for the well-being of youth in well-developed, post-industrial societies are discussed.

Dr. Ulysses J. Balis of the University of Michigan Department of Pathology talks to Ralph Moher of General Data's Healthcare Blog at the 2008 APIII conference. Dr. Balis shares his thoughts on this year's conference and how it has grown over the past 13 years. In addition, Dr. Balis discusses the recent initiative for standardization of bar code identifiers for specimens in pathology labs, and its implications for labs, technology suppliers and patient safety as a whole.

Dr. Bruce Friedman, Active Emeritus Professor of Pathology at the University of Michigan Medical School and President of the Pathollgy Education Consortium, talks to Ralph Moher of General Data's Healthcare Blog at the 2008 APIII conference. Dr. Friedman shares his thoughts on this year's conference and the future convergence of anatomic pathology, lab medicine, and radiology to form integrated diagnostic centers.

Chicago With the continued aging of the population and the growing epidemic of Alzheimer s, early detection of the disease is crucial for risk assessment, testing new therapies, and eventual early intervention with better drugs, once they are developed. Four studies reported today at the Alzheimer s Association s 2008 International Conference on Alzheimer s Disease (ICAD 2008) in Chicago bring us closer to that goal of early detection by describing advances in biomarkers. A biomarker is a substance or characteristic that can be objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal body processes, disease processes, or the body s response(s) to a therapeutic intervention. It is widely believed that Alzheimer s disease brain changes, including amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles, begin many years before symptoms are evident or there is significant death of brain cells. It is critical to identify affected individuals while they are still cognitively normal so that future disease modifying therapies can preserve normal function. The testing and eventual use of such therapies requires identification of affected and at risk individuals in order to steer them to clinical trials, and to direct and monitor therapy.

The finale of 'Jewels' asks: how does a compound go from the rainforest to the pharmacy? Where Dr. Strobel's research leaves off, the work is just beginning for pharmaceutical companies looking to create new drugs. The testing phase may take years and many millions of dollars before a new drug hits the shelves of the local pharmacy. And the odds are remarkably slim: only one in 10,000 compounds are brought to market. But for Dr. Strobel, the process is not just a one-way street. After a compound is licensed, Strobel returns to Australia to share the news of the discovery and to offer a percentage of the profits back to the aboriginal people. In this way, he preserves a mutual relationship of respect between cultures. In turn, this makes the work truly sustainable: knowledge and resources complete the cycle and return to nourish and reward the origin. This cycle guarantees that new shoots will continue to grow.
