How Rochester medical research events will help you discover your ancestry, health risks

A series of federal medical research events in Rochester are seeking people willing to share their health story and information to aid the push to reduce health inequality in New York and across the country.

The National Institutes of Health’s All of Us Journey — a traveling, hands-on exhibit that raises awareness about the All of Us Research Program — will be held this month at Ibero American Action League Inc, International Plaza and University of Rochester Medical Center.

The stakes of improving diversity in medical research are crystal clear in the Rochester area, where people of color and those living in poor neighborhoods are suffering the steepest drops in life expectancy in recent years .

Why consider participating in All of Us?

At first, Michelle Anderson, a retired nurse, who is Black, was very skeptical when she first heard about the All of Us program events near her Massachusetts home in 2022, USA TODAY Network reported .

"I had flashbacks of stories and history and all those things the average African American thinks about when you mention research," she said, referring to the nation’s history of racism and abuses in medical experimentation.

Health inequality in NY: Life expectancy has fallen steeply for people in the Finger Lakes region: Here's why

What changed Anderson’s mind was learning about the program’s privacy protections, as well as the sense of empowerment it provided by giving her a role in helping to shape the push for health equality.

Anderson’s program results, including genetic testing, also confirmed her body metabolizes medicines more slowly than average, which allowed her to participate more proactively in her own health care treatment.

New York politics: NY approved a $37B Medicaid budget. Where is money going, how will it impact health care?

Where are All of Us events in Rochester?

The program events in Rochester have been set to run through May 16.

The event Friday, May 10 is at International Plaza, 828 N. Clinton Ave. and May 13 through May 16 at University of Rochester Medical Center, 180 Sawgrass Drive. All these events run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

These events include an opportunity for visitors to sign up to participate in the program.

If you join  All of Us  and provide biosamples, like blood or saliva, you may choose to  learn more about your DNA , including:

• Your genetic ancestry
• Your risk for certain  hereditary diseases
• Your  body's reaction to certain medicines

There is no cost to participate other than some of your time. Most people will spend no more than a few hours a year taking part in the program's activities, the program website noted.

Health care crises: Mental health care needs spiked 23% in NY as treatment capacity dropped 10%

What is the All of Us Research Program?

The research program has a goal of collecting medical data on 1 million Americans to better understand the nation's diversity. Among the first 500,000 participants, more than 60,000 had Hispanic ancestry, which is about four-times more than any previous study at the time in 2022.

Prior genetic studies have largely included people of European ancestry, but findings might be different for people from other backgrounds.

About half the All of Us participants who had their genes sequenced as of 2022 identified as belonging to a racial or ethnic minority and even more are either low-income, have a disability, live in a rural location or are otherwise historically underrepresented in research.

"The fundamental driver of the program is diversity," said Dr. Josh Denny, chief executive officer of the All of Us Research Program.

What kind of information can people learn by participating?

Like the for-profit genetic information systems, All of Us lets participants know what their genes show about their ancestry. Other information returned to participants includes data on lactose intolerance and other food-related findings.

Only about 3% to 5% of participants will learn that they have a high risk for 59 genetic diseases like the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes that predispose women for breast and ovarian cancers and men for breast and prostate tumors.

All 59 are "actionable," meaning someone can do something to reduce their risk of disease if they are found to have one of these mutations.

• S&T Releases Market Survey Report for Non-Detonable Training Aids for Explosive Detection Canines

News Release: DHS S&T Releases Market Survey Report for Non-Detonable Training Aids for Explosive Detection Canines

For immediate release s&t public affairs , 202-286-9047.

WASHINGTON - The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) has released a new market survey report to help emergency responders identify non-detonable training aids for explosive detection canines. Non-detonable training aids emulate the scent of explosives, allowing canines to learn the specific odor of different types of explosives while eliminating the inherent risks of using traditional, live explosives. They are carefully designed and maintained to create a controlled and safe environment for training, with a focus on safety, effectiveness, and consistency in preparing canines for their crucial roles in security and public safety.

S&T’s National Urban Security Laboratory (NUSTL)—in conjunction with Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory—administered the Non-Detonable Trainings Aids for Explosive Detection Canines Market Survey Report , which provides information on 12 non-detonable training aid products ranging in price from $15 to $550. This report is based on information gathered from manufacturer and vendor materials, open-source research, industry publications, and a government-issued request for information. The report is part of NUSTL’s System Assessment and Validation for Emergency Responders (SAVER) program, which assists emergency responders in making procurement decisions.

“The Detection Canine Program at S&T plays a critical role in advancing the safety and effectiveness of explosive detection canines in the field,” said Guy Hartsough, S&T Detection Canine Program, program manager. “NUSTL’s comprehensive report provides valuable resources in an ever-evolving landscape of threats, underscoring our dedication to enhancing the capabilities of our nation's security responders.”

“Explosive detection canines are critical to protecting the public as well as the first responders they assist. Rigorous training is required to prepare these dogs for the field” said NUSTL Director Alice Hong. “NUSTL’s latest market survey report equips explosive detection canine handlers with crucial insights into non-detonable training aids.”

Visit the SAVER website for market research and comparative assessments of commercially available products. Results are published to assist responders in making informed technology deployment and purchasing decisions for their agency’s specific needs. SAVER documents with limited distribution are available to members of the SAVER Community by contacting [email protected] .

New Scan of Outreach Efforts Can Help States Reconnect Eligible People with Coverage

• share this post on Facebook

• share this post through Email

With the release of CCF’s enrollment report , the need for outreach to people who have recently lost Medicaid coverage due to the unwinding has never been more clear. The coming months will be a critical period for reconnecting eligible children and families with coverage to minimize gaps and the risk of becoming uninsured.

There are many lessons to be learned from the unwinding. But one aspect of the unwinding that is striking, as evidenced in CCF’s tracking of state unwinding strategies and policies, is the extent to which states intensified outreach, communications, and engagement of community partners. This clearly signifies what states can do when they prioritize efforts to keep eligible kids and families enrolled. Seizing this momentum and pivoting communications approaches and outreach messages to re-enrollment of eligible children and individuals should be a priority for states as the unwinding winds down.

To provide a snapshot of how states are engaged in non-unwinding related outreach and enrollment assistance, we searched state websites to identify and inventory various strategies and resources that are available or linked online. We scanned all 50 states (and DC) Medicaid agency and CHIP websites, and state-based marketplaces in states where Medicaid eligibility is integrated, for a wide variety of outreach resources and enrollment tools.

The scan is divided into several tables. First, we include the websites used, enrollment landing pages, mobile applications, and Medicaid paper applications. Next, we found social media accounts operated by states and integrated SBMs, which are a cost-effective medium for reaching diverse audiences. Outreach resources such as toolkits, FAQs, and campaigns focused on children or back-to-school efforts were also included. We scanned state accounts for how-to videos that provide step-by-step instructions on creating an online account, completing the application, and renewing coverage. Language supports offered on state websites were included, as well as community-based assistance, such as assister programs, assister locators, and marketplace navigators.

There remain many questions about how states conduct outreach and support community-based assistance, such as whether or not states have dedicated outreach staff positions. Our goal in posting this point-in-time snapshot of state outreach efforts and resources is to offer states and stakeholders ideas and approaches employed in other states to ensure that all eligible children and families have access to the healthcare they need to thrive. No amount of online content can fully replace the need for consumer assistance through call centers and from community-based organizations, but states can do more to maximize online resources to advance the use of self-service options that promote enrollment and continuity of coverage.

We hope this resource will be a useful tool for states and stakeholders to see what other states are or are not doing for outreach and enrollment assistance, offering new ideas and examples of strategies and resources that can be replicated elsewhere.

[Editor’s Note: We recognize that our scan might have missed a resource in your state. If you have materials that should be added to the scan, please send an email with the subject line “Outreach Scan Update” to [email protected] by June 30, 2024. In the email, please include a link that we can use to verify the information you send. After June 30, 2024, no additional updates will be made to these state data tables.]

Do zinc products really help shorten a cold? It’s hard to say

• Show more sharing options
• Copy Link URL Copied!

You feel a cold coming on, or maybe it’s already upon you: the telltale cough, sore throat and stuffy head. You swing by the drugstore, where a shelf full of over-the-counter products containing the mineral zinc claim to be able to shorten the duration of your symptoms.

The promise of relief is tempting. But is it one these products can make good on?

A new analysis of studies published on zinc and cold viruses concludes that there isn’t enough evidence to say whether over-the-counter zinc treatments have any effect on preventing the common cold.

For those who pop lozenges or inhale nasal sprays once a cold has come on, the available research together indicates that the products may reduce the duration of symptoms by up to two days, said Daryl Nault, an assistant professor at Maryland University of Integrative Health and first author of the paper, published Wednesday by the nonprofit organization Cochrane .

But those studies are so inconsistent in terms of the dosage, type of zinc, patient population and definition of cold symptoms that “confidence in the evidence is mostly low to very low,” the review states. “It is likely that additional studies are required before any firm conclusions can be drawn.”

In other words: Nearly 30 years after zinc lozenges first hit the market, we still can’t say for sure if these things do what they say they do.

“We aren’t saying [zinc] does” have any effect on the common cold, Nault said. “We aren’t saying it doesn’t. We’re saying we need more consistent evidence that is replicable. That’s a cornerstone of good science.”

Popular nasal decongestant doesn’t actually relieve congestion, FDA experts say

Government advisors say a leading medication used by millions of Americans to treat nasal congestion doesn’t actually work.

Sept. 12, 2023

The age of zinc cold products dawned in 1996, when researchers from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation convinced 100 clinic employees to volunteer as research subjects within 24 hours of developing a cold.

Half were given placebos, and half were given lozenges containing 13.3 milligrams of zinc from zinc gluconate every two waking hours as long as their symptoms persisted. Those receiving the zinc got better after 4.4 days on average, while the placebo group felt sick for an average of 7.6 days.

Most people consume a sufficient amount of zinc, a vital nutrient, through a regular diet. The mineral is plentiful in red meat and poultry, and present in many grains and fruits. (Oysters contain more zinc per serving than any other known food, with a single serving containing nearly 300% of the daily recommended intake.)

Scientists aren’t exactly sure how the mineral works to alleviate cold symptoms. But the idea of an over-the-counter way to shorten the misery of a common cold has proved wildly popular.

Total U.S. sales of zinc products, such as Zicam and Cold-Eeze, were $340 million in 2023, said Hannah Esper, managing editor of the trade publication Nutrition Business Journal. Demand for zinc and other supplements exploded during the COVID-19 pandemic , with sales for zinc growing 168.3% during 2020.

Based in the U.K., Cochrane uses rigorous research methods to evaluate existing scientific evidence and produce reports to help people make decisions about their health, according to its website.

A mother’s loss launches a global effort to fight antibiotic resistance

Diane Shader Smith’s daughter, Mallory Smith, died at age 25 after fighting an antibiotic-resistant lung infection for 12 years. A new book of her daughter’s diary entries and a website are aimed at finding solutions.

May 7, 2024

For this review, the Cochrane team looked at 34 studies conducted across 13 countries that examined zinc products and the treatment or prevention of the common cold.

Drawing strong conclusions from the available research is difficult, as the studies tend to measure different things, said author Susan Wieland, an assistant professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and director of the Cochrane Complementary Medicine Field.

The cold “is a very common condition that is a difficult one to study,” Wieland said. It comes and goes quickly, making it difficult to enroll research subjects. Dosages and the type of zinc administered to study subjects varied widely.

“The designs of each study are different. So different dosages, different dosage forms, different patient populations, different criteria of exclusion and inclusion, different outcomes [and] definitions of cold,” said Dr. Jason Yee, an antimicrobial stewardship pharmacist at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles who was not involved with the review. “It’s really hard to draw the same conclusion based on different studies.”

RFK Jr. says he had a dead worm in his brain. What are these parasites and how common are they?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., in a 2012 deposition, reportedly cited health issues that he attributed to a worm in his brain.

May 8, 2024

Physicians said they weren’t surprised by the findings.

“I agree with the study. ... It is consistent with my clinical experience in the hospital,” said Dr. Samia Faiz , an internal medicine specialist at UC Riverside Health. “In general, healthy people may be able to take zinc supplements if they make them feel better or if they get some comfort. They should not take these supplements if they have distaste or stomach upset.”

While over-the-counter zinc products are generally harmless to patients battling colds, said Dr. Pritish Tosh , an infectious disease physician and researcher at the Mayo Clinic, popping lozenges “shouldn’t come at the expense of doing things that really matter, which is getting plenty of rest, plenty of fluids and taking care of yourself.”

So why do we continue to fork over our cash for these things when we don’t really have more than a hunch that they work?

When a cold hits, “it’s natural for consumers to just reach for anything that may help alleviate those symptoms. But average consumers aren’t really educated on the literature and studies that are out there showing that there’s limited evidence and efficacy with these products,” Yee said.

Buying the lozenges or huffing the nasal spray can make us feel like we have more agency in a situation where we’re at the mercy of time and our immune systems, Nault said.

“Having a sense of control makes a lot of people feel better, and feel like they’re doing something,” Nault said. “Even if they aren’t.”

Times researcher Scott Wilson contributed to this report.
