Are We Growing Numb To The Opioid Epidemic?
By Lloyd I. Sederer, MD, author of The Addiction Solution: Treating Our Dependence on Opioids and Other Drugs (out now on Simon & Schuster)

While I don’t have a major survey to point to, my work demands that I pay attention to this epidemic and the stories written about it — and that I encourage others to take it seriously as well.
Have we grown numb to the people who are dying every day? To the families thrown into the pain ad...

Dual vaccine approach could help eradicate polio
Conclusion
This randomised control trial has found that a booster vaccination with the Salk inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) can boost gut immunity against polioviruses in infants and children who have already received multiple doses of the oral vaccine.
It appears that receiving both vaccines is key, as the researchers report that the ability of the Salk IPV to induce gut immunity is limited. They say that studies in countries that do not use oral vaccine show that more than 90% of children given the IPV excrete challenge poliovirus. However, the researchers also say the oral vaccine has been reported to give incompl...
