Psoriasis affects nearly eight million adults in the US, but its impact isn’t felt equally; significant disparities in diagnosis exist across race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status. Join Dr. Joe Tung as he discusses his recent analysis of data from the National Health Interview Survey, in which he explored the most affected patient populations, the potential for underdiagnosis, and the broader ties between psoriasis, metabolic health, and life satisfaction. Dr. Tung is a board-certified dermatologist currently serving as the Medical Director of UPMC Falk Dermatology, Director of the Clinical Trials Unit, and Associate Director of the Dermatology Residency Program.

Guess what? The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices had a unanimous vote in favor of a preferential recommendation of vaccines for the cool adults who are 65 and older—one of these options is adjuvanted influenza vaccines.1 Talk about a milestone in the world of public health! Now the burning question is why on earth did they decide on adjuvant vaccines? Let's unravel this immunization mystery together, shall we?

Despite its historically higher smoking rates, Japan has significantly lower COPD prevalence and mortality than the United States. But incorporating certain elements of the Japanese diet and implementing public health practices may help reverse this paradox. Joining Dr. Charles Turck to share the findings from his recent meta-analysis comparing the two nations is Dr. Akira Sekikawa, Professor of Epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health.
