The world's leading cause of death

Interview with Dr. Ken Castro

The Q&A

Total Recall: Special Edition

What the Health: Letting bird flu spread

Every year, tuberculosis claims over one million lives worldwide. The United States has long been a key contributor to global efforts in preventing, treating, and researching the disease. This week on Health Wanted, host Laurel Bristow and guest Kenneth Castro, MD, discuss the ongoing challenges of tuberculosis and the impact that recent cuts to the U.S. Agency for International Development budget are having on global tuberculosis efforts.

The Q&A addresses the question of transgender mice, the cause of death of Gene Hackman and his wife, and the current measles outbreak. Total Recall covers the recent recall of two FDA safety boards, and "What the Health" fills in for "Sick of the Week" to look at the most recent bird flu suggestion from the current US Secretary of Health and Human Services.

For a full rundown on all the information shared in today's episode, take a look at the Show Notes.
