En död av bakterie på McDonalds – tros ha kommit från skivad lök

En död av bakterie på McDonalds – tros ha kommit från skivad lök

En efter en har restaurangbesökare blivit sjuka efter att ha ätit på McDonalds. De flesta av de som blivit sjuka har ätit på McDonalds i Colorado och Nebraska, men totalt handlar det om tio delstater i USA. Minst 49 har rapporterats sjuka av E-coli-bakterier efter att ha ätit på restaurangen, uppger amerikanska hälsomyndigheter. Minst tio har behövt sjukhusvård. I Colorado har en av de som insjuknat, en äldre person, dött efter att ha blivit smittad. Ätit samma hamburgare De som blivit sjuka har alla uppgett att de ätit på McDonalds en kort tid innan de blev sjuka, och de flesta nämnde specifikt hamburgaren "Quarter pounder". Nu tar restaurangkedjan bort hamburgaren från menyn i flera delstater, tillfälligt. – Vi tar livsmedelssäkerheten på största allvar, det är det rätta att göra, uppger McDonalds i ett uttalande. Mycket pekar på att den skivade lök som serveras på hamburgarna är en trolig källa till kontamineringen, enligt en preliminär undersökning gjord av USA:s läkemedelsmyndighet FDA. Samtidigt undersöker USA:s jordbruksdepartement själva biffarna. Fått allvarliga njurkomplikationer E-coli är en grupp bakterier som finns i tarmarna. Ett barn som insjuknat har fått allvarliga njurkomplikationer. – Åtminstone i kött, när man slaktar ett djur, kan man ha kontaminering från de bakterier som finns i tarmarna. E-coli finns i tarmarna. Men också människor som kanske inte har tvättat händerna ordentligt. Det finns hur många sätt du kan få den typen av kontaminering, säger läkaren Celine Gounder i CBS News.

“No Evidence of Risk” (FDA Pt. 2)

In 1999, an FDA food investigator found traces of mercury in America’s favorite sweetener. But when she presented her findings, she was told to stop her research. The incident rang alarm bells — was the FDA covering up threats to public health? More recently, the agency’s sources of funding and their role in the Opioid Crisis have drawn suspicion and criticism. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

23andMe ft. Anne Wojcicki - How a DNA startup took on the FDA and redefined health tech

Millions of customers have explored their genome with 23andMe. But when the company started in 2006, the idea of consumer DNA testing was heresy to the medical establishment. The FDA once even ordered 23andMe to stop selling its health testing product. The company persevered to make allies out of adversaries, and became the only FDA-approved product on the market. Learn how 23andMe defined the DNA testing category, and used its success to enter the massive new field of drug discovery.    Host: Roelof Botha, Sequoia Capital  Featuring: Anne Wojcicki, Richard Scheller  Transcript: https://www.sequoiacap.com/podcast/crucible-moments-23andMe/ Learn more about your ad choices.

The rise and fall of a fake decongestant: What phenylephrine tells us about the history of the FDA

The FDA drug approval process is known to be a lengthy and rigorous one. But the FDA-approved ingredient phenylephrine — found in common cold medicines like Sudafed, Mucinex, and NyQuil — was recently found to be no better than a placebo. Phenylephrine has been on store shelves for nearly 90 years. How could that happen?In this episode of Tiny Matters, Sam and Deboki are joined by none other than Deboki's dad, Deb Chakravarti. Deb is a professor with years of industry experience and the current director of the York College FDA Partnership. He helps dissect the FDA's recent findings and how its history and ever-evolving role in the pharmaceutical industry contributed to phenylephrine being used in oral cold medicines for so long.Deb, Deboki and Sam also unpack pharmaceutical ethics cases, like thalidomide in the 1950s and 60s, and the case of Vioxx in the early 2000s, which led to tens of thousands of deaths. Sam and Deboki cap off the episode with tiny show and tells about how the nose is really 2 noses (!) and the story of a new, ingestible, vitamin-sized capsule that could protect people from dying of an opioid overdose, sleep apnea, or other conditions that depress breathing.Check out PNAS Science Sessions here and wherever you listen to podcasts.  Links to the Tiny Show & Tell stories are here and here.

PT469 – Mason Marks, MD, JD – Drug Policy in 2023: The FDA's Guidance for Clinical Trials, The Natural Medicine Act, and SB-303

In this episode, Joe interviews Mason Marks, MD, JD: drug policy analyst, writer, Professor at the Florida State University College of Law, and senior fellow and project lead of the Project on Psychedelics Law and Regulation (POPLAR) at the Petrie-Flom Center for Health Law Policy, Biotechnology, and Bioethics. As somewhat of an expert on drug policy and FDA regulation, Marks discusses much of the current legal landscape: What was controversial and most interesting about the FDA’s recent guidance for researchers running clinical trials; how an amendment changed Colorado’s Natural Medicine Act and the odd vibe coming from the rule-making process (very private with canceled meetings and a notable lack of urgency); concerns over Oregon’s confusing program not being sustainable; and how Senate Bill 303 drastically changed confidentiality and how personal data would be collected in the state.  He also discusses the complications and ethics of end-of-life care and psychedelics; the theoretical heart valve risk from chronic use and ways we could research this; the challenge of informed consent; the legal risk of transactions involving people gifting illegal substances; the Gracias Foundation’s recent $16 million grant to Harvard and how people at Harvard feel about psychedelics; and more.  POPLAR, which was founded to essentially change laws around psychedelics, is hosting a conference on February 16 in Manhattan called “Drug Law for the 21st Century,” which will be looking back on 50 years of DEA drug policy and envisioning what could be different going forward.

Beyond "Abolish The FDA"

“Abolish the FDA” has become a popular slogan in libertarian circles. I’m sympathetic to the spirit of the demand. But a slogan isn’t a plan, and this one is even less of a plan than usual. I used to think that since libertarians always lose, there was no point in having a real plan for what to do if they won. But now that they’ve gone from “literally always lose” to “only lose 99.9% of the time” . . . https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/beyond-abolish-the-fda 

An FDA for AI?

If you’ve listened to some of the dialogue in hearings on Capitol Hill about how to regulate AI, you’ve heard various folks suggest the need for a regulatory agency to govern, in particular, general purpose AI systems that can be deployed across a wide range of applications. One existing agency is often mentioned as a potential model: the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). But how would applying the FDA work in practice? Where does the model break down when it comes to AI and related technologies, which are different in many ways from the types of things the FDA looks at day to day? To answer these questions, Justin Hendrix spoke to Merlin Stein and Connor Dunlop, the authors of a new report published by the Ada Lovelace Institute titled Safe before sale: Learnings from the FDA’s model of life sciences oversight for foundation models.

BOMBSHELL: Ivermectin Is Now OK To Treat COVID! – Says The FDA

Now that the pharmaceutical industry has made its hundreds of billions from vaccines, and despite an all out smear campaign the agency itself participated in, the Food & Drug Administration has approved the drug Ivermectin as a treatment for COVID. So it turns out that, according to the FDA, it’s OK even if you’re not a horse for you to take Ivermectin to treat your COVID. That’s what you call a win-whinny.  Guest host Craig “Pasta” Jardula, along with Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss why Ivermectin had to be so severely demonized during the early days of the pandemic but now can be approved in such a cavalier fashion. Plus a segment on all the terrible jokes late night night comedians made about taking Ivermectin, which has now been approved by the FDA to treat COVID. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae! And a phone call from Alec Baldwin!
