Rachel Feltman: Happy Monday, listeners! For American scientific‘s Science quicklyI’m Rachel Feltman. Hope your February is a great start. Let’s throw it in the week by catching all the news of science you’ve lost.
First of all, a quick note on some presidential movements that may affect health and science. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did at least face some Bipartisan pushbacks for the appointment of Secretary of U.S. Health and Human Services in the United States. Thursday, Chairman of the Health, Education, Work and Pension Senate Committee, Bill Cassidy of the Republic, Kennedy hit the final vaccine to take. Cassidy, who practiced medicine for decades, claimed Kennedy, at least in part so that they do not insert his decision.

Once back and forth is confirmed by Cassidy, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration did not indicate that the standards of “insert or revise vaccination and reviewing the vaccinations will not change the” historical rules. “Kennedy answered affirmative: but it is important that the candidate has a long history to promote the disinformation of the vaccine.

It was also chaotic last week in terms of the executives of the orders, a federal freezer and more. Like the last Friday afternoon, websites were made from the Government Health Agency’s sites. Stat nbly new These data of young people’s risk surveillance systems, a large national survey on young behavioral habits of young people who collect gender and sexual identities, was disappeared and no longer available to researchers. CDC’s social vulnerability index, especially because of poverty factors, especially for disasters, groups appeared on Friday, some resources about HIV. That’s not a detailed list of lists, and this story was being developed highly in the afternoon of January 31. It was developing during this recording. Immerse yourself in these changes deeper and so on this week’s Friday section, let us know if you have a specific question. You can send us sciencicickly@sciam.com.

Feltman: Now let’s access some public health news. You may have seen some titles last week in Kansas’s tuberculosis record. The initial report has the highest outbreak of national TV, since CDC’s follow-up, it seems that the statement of the Department of Health Department seems. After revoking that CDC, A state health officer clarifiedClaiming this explosion has seen the highest country cases one year of one year.
The discrepancy has led to a confusion about the nature of a very real and serious appearance. Department of Health from January 31, more than 60 people in Wyandotte and Johnson Counties They diagnosed with active TB related to explosion, they have completed treatment since some diagnosis; It refers to a type of “active” tuberculosis, whether it is not a disease today. According to a state officer, two people have died in the explosion. Here is a strange decompression to us, Nwanganga, Kansas News Service and KCUR is a journalist for health benefit.
Shakeelford-Nwanganga Defender: The first cases associated with this specific discussion, in January 2024. During the summer there was a pretty big spike, which is really helped in the situation and began to help, and that’s also helping CDC and started.

Shackelford-No. They have quite confidence that they have managed to be under control. They expect to find more cases. They need to do a lot of contact tracing and a lot of research to find out who contacts. But most often they are happy with the numbers that go down, and they are quite control.
Tuberculosis is the infection of bacteria. It can be located in other places in your body, but usually settles in the lungs of a person. You know, when this person coughs or sings, so it can be spread. Tuberculosis must stretch close relationship with people to catch.
And then there are two types of tuberculosis. There is one known as active tuberculosis. When a person shows symptoms, you know, a permanent cough, blood coughing, lung pain, and things like night sweats and fevers and weight loss. This means that they have an active infection and can expand to others. For other versions of tuberculosis, latent tuberculosis calls to sleep tuberculosis. This means that someone has bacteria in the body, but it does not affect active infection. It must become active to expand to others. And if you have a rough case, you will not live with a symptom.
People with diabetes, people who drink a lot, people with HIV and immune-endangered people have a greater risk of developing diseases, and especially people traveling to larger brush countries.
You know, our Health Officials right now they are not raising alarm bells for the general public. For now, public health officials say they are safe and if they interact with someone with tuberculosis, or if they experience any long symptom, they should be clear. It is really important for people who listen to the department of Health that he wanted. It can be deadly, so it’s just that it could be sure or endured, it is important to take it seriously and fulfill and test treatment.
Feltman: Thank you for this update, Tell. You can find more information about the audience Kansas Department of Health website. We will talk more about TB next month, to talk about John Green about his new book, Everything is tuberculosis. For now, let’s go to the bird flu update.

Feltman: U.S. officials recently reported to the first of the animal health H5N9 A very pathogenic bird flu in US birds. It is an extraordinary tension of bird flu rather than H5n1, which is the type of titles to spread between birds and animals. H5N9 has been found in the US birds before, but the authorities say, the virus version is the birds that have infected that the birds become seriously ill. In this case, H5n9 was created in a California duck farm, H5N1’s birds had positive. Almost 119,000 ducks have died with the aim of limiting virus spread.
One by one, last Tuesday, one of the largest egg producers in the country confirmed the death deaths among the flocks. Rose Acre farmhouses with facilities in seven states, said on social media Employees noticed the chickens that died in an Indiana location on January 25. Now, Saving and cooking eggs properly They need to prevent bird flu from spreading human consumers, but the chicken patient has its influence. January 24 Food Price Outlook Report The Economic Research Arm of the US agriculture planned that Egg prices would increase More than 20 percent in 2025.
But last week he also brought some good news in front of the bird flu. In a study published on Thursday Science Researchers described an immune therapy based on antibody, then H5n1 was polluted because it helped protect the monkeys. Researchers say This antibody is aimed at the extent that microbes are muted by the flu virus. In research on monkeys seemed to have been protected against serious illness and death for eight to 12 weeks. Scientists suggest this for the first surveyors and other caregivers at the beginning of the H5N1 brush. To get deeper dip in the US bird flu, look at our January 15 episode.

Feltman: Now, this is the next story Technically New health – but it’s pretty outdated. Basically, a fossil hunter seems to have found some 66 million year round puke. Fossil fossil fossil saw the traces of ancient sea lils explore flowers; They are truly invertebrates in the stars of the sea and the trash. He suggested that some more studies aroused by some animals, let’s say, discard it.
The Commissioner of the Zealand East Museum in Denmark announced the discovery of the press. To be clear, this precious artifact has not been described in the described magazine, so we do not have much enthusiasm with the implications of ancient vomen. But it may not be surprising, the stories have been doing international holders anyway. Paleontologist in Denmark Jesper Milàn said BBC Issues is “the most famous part of the world ever”.
Paul Olsen, land teacher and environmental sciences at Columbia University, said that npr Although fossilized vomit is known as regurgitalite, this is not very rare, especially a nice example. “He has probably probably been a situation of stems, chewing sunflower seeds and removing shells, than a real upchuck.
We will meet with new research on polar bears, apparently the hair grow bad days. Research published last Wednesday Science advances It reveals the sebum with cholesterol, diasylglizerols and fatty acids, who know the ice, keeps ice to accumulate polar bears. When researchers cleaned the samples of polar bear leather in the laboratory, chains lost superpowers that were resistant to ice.

Feltman: That’s about this week’s news. We will return on Wednesday to avoid a phenomenon, sometimes known as “anger fatigue”.
