SUMMARY:It's getting hot in here: Climate & Health Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:“CCHH Metabolism Series Presents Fight Club Round 1: Seed Oils — Friend or Foe?”\nSoko Setoguchi\, MD\, DrPH\, Director\, Rutgers Center for Climate\, Health\, & Healthcare; Professor of Medicine & Epidemiology\, RWJMS & Rutgers School of Public Health \nAayush Visaria\, MD\, MPH\, Core Member\, Rutgers Center for Climate\, Health\, and Healthcare & Instructor\, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School \nWelcome to the inaugural Fight Club\, where we spar with numbers\, not fists. In Round 1 of this series\, we take on one of nutrition’s most polarizing topics: seed oils – in or out? Join us for a lively\, evidence-driven debate as we put claims\, studies\, and strong opinions to the test. Expect sharp arguments\, thoughtful discussion\, and plenty of data-driven punches\, to ultimately decide whether seed oils deserve a place on the plate — or a knockout from the pantry. \nHybrid seminar held in the Clinical Academic Building Room 3403\, 125 Paterson Street\, and via Zoom. \nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://rutgers.zoom.us/meeting/register/onDwElZeT-iMm9lgHlhBBA

SUMMARY:Institute for Health Seminar with Dr. Jeremy Greene
DESCRIPTION:Rutgers Institute for Health Seminar\nfeaturing\nJeremy Greene\, MD\, PhD of Johns Hopkins University\n“After the Single Use: Rethinking the Past\, Present\, and Future of Plastics in Healthcare”\nRegister to attend this seminar. \n  \nLocation: In-Person at Rutgers Institute for Health\, Conference Room 120\, 112 Paterson Street\, New Brunswick\, NJ \nVia Zoom (upon registration\, you will receive Zoom details) \n  \nDr. Greene is William H. Welch Professor of Medicine and History of Medicine and Director\, of the Institute of the History of Medicine and the founding Director of the Center for Medical Humanities and Social Medicine at Johns Hopkins University. His research explores the ways in which medical technologies come to influence our understandings of what it means to be sick or healthy\, normal or abnormal\, on personal\, regional\, and global scales. His newest research project\, Syringe Tide: Disposable Technologies and the Making of Medical Waste focuses on the scientific\, social\, and economic basis of the shift towards disposable technologies in hospitals and clinics. \n“After the Single Use: Rethinking the Past\, Present\, and Future of Plastics in Healthcare” \nThe modern medical enterprise is distinctively wasteful.  This may seem to result inevitably from the hazardous nature of medical substances\, whose infection risk\, chemical toxicity\, or radioactivity accordingly require specialized modes of management.  Yet only 15% of global healthcare wastes fit this specialized profile.  The remaining 85% are simply materials that have been built to be disposable rather than reusable\, a staggering volume of single-use items that emit toxins and carbon dioxide when incinerated\, give off methane and other greenhouse gasses while decomposing in landfills\, or\, if they escape these two fates\, float on the surface of the oceans. \nIt was not always this way.  In a relatively short period of time\, we have naturalized the use of single-use plastics in healthcare—and then forgotten there was ever any alternative.  In this talk\, physician-historian Jeremy Greene traces the links between environmental history\, the history of technology\, and the  role that the global healthcare sector now plays in contributing to climate change and plastic waste—and in innovating new solutions to envision more sustainable forms of healthcare.  By attending closely to the historical and social context in which medicine became wasteful\, Greene’s talk offers ways to unseat medical waste as a natural category and reconsider it as the outcome of a set of value decisions we have made in the past\, and can change in the future.

SUMMARY:It's getting hot in here: Climate & Health Seminar Series
DESCRIPTION:“BMI = Body Mass Index\, or more like Bad Measure Ick”\nAayush Visaria\, MD\, MPH\, Core Member\, Rutgers Center for Climate\, Health\, and Healthcare & Instructor\, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School \nOn April 7th\, I invite you to believe that BMI is destiny\, that two people with the same body size share the same cardiometabolic future\, and that adiposity is merely a matter of mass. Then\, we will tear that down and entertain the idea that kilograms per meter squared does not capture the biological complexity of obesity. This seminar will present epidemiologic evidence demonstrating that fat distribution\, ectopic deposition\, tissue quality\, inflammatory signaling\, and redox biology all shape metabolic risk and that misrepresentation of adiposity may exacerbate disparities. \nHybrid seminar held at IFH in the 5th Floor Conference Room and via Zoom: \n\n\n\nMeeting URL:\nhttps://rutgers.zoom.us/j/99475027371?pwd=4wnLfqFoDrGAgnnrh98aye33uG4XdC.1&from=addon\n\n\nMeeting ID:\n994 7502 7371\n\n\nPasscode:\n327202

SUMMARY:Institute for Health Seminar with Dr. Johanna Schoen
DESCRIPTION:Rutgers Institute for Health\, Health Care Policy and Aging Research Seminar \nfeaturing \nDr. Johanna Schoen\, Distinguished Professor of History\, Rutgers University \n“The Pain Debate in Neonatology” \n📅 Tuesday\, April 7 12:00pm \n🏢💻 Conference Room 120\, 112 Paterson Street\, New Brunswick & Via Zoom \nUntil the mid-1980s\, most premature infants undergoing surgery in the US did not receive anesthesia or any kind of pain control. In the mid-1980’s\, parents of NICU infants mounted a publicity campaign to draw attention to this practice and a handful of clinicians began to conduct research demonstrating that premature infants felt pain and could be safely medicated. But it took another decade for clinical practice to change in a meaningful way. This talk will analyze the practice and debate surrounding unanesthetized infant surgery.

SUMMARY:Institute for Health Seminar: Dr. Deborah Carr on Older Adults and Well-Being
DESCRIPTION:Rutgers Institute for Health is excited to welcome Dr. Deborah Carr for our next seminar. Director of the Center for Innovation in Social Science and A&S Distinguished Professor of Sociology at Boston University\, Dr. Carr will give a talk on “Older Adults’ Complex Family Lives in the 21st Century: Implications for End-of-Life Preparations and Well-Being.” \nAdvances in medical technologies mean that older adults are living longer than ever before\, with most dying of chronic diseases that have protracted symptoms and require difficult decisions about end-of-life care. Most older adults rely on their families for advance care planning\, advocacy\, and decision-making – raising concerns about the rising numbers of adults growing old without a spouse or children. This presentation examines how: (1) marital trajectories and parental statuses affect advance care planning\, a critical step for attaining a ‘good death\,” and (2) marital status affects ten end-of-life quality outcomes as assessed by the decedent’s proxy. Analyses are based on the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and National Health and Aging Trends (NHATS) surveys. Implications for policy\, practice\, and future research will be discussed. \nDeborah Carr is director of the Center of Innovation in Social Science and A&S Distinguished Professor of sociology. She is a life course sociologist who uses survey data and quantitative methods to study social factors linked with health and well-being in later life. She has written extensively on inequality in old age\, death and dying\, bereavement\, family relationships over the life course\, and the stigma associated with health conditions including obesity and disability. She has published more than 140 articles and chapters\, and several books including Aging in America (University of California Press\, 2023) and Worried Sick: How Stress Hurts Us and How to Bounce Back (Rutgers University Press\, 2014)\, as well as several co-authored textbooks including Introduction to Sociology\, Essentials of Sociology\, and The Art and Science of Social Research (all with W. W. Norton).  Her 2019 book  Golden Years? Social Inequality in Later Life (Russell Sage) received the 2020 Richard Kalish Innovative Publication Award from the Gerontological Society of America. She is also co-editor of the Handbook of Aging & Social Sciences\, 9th ed. (Elsevier\, 2021). Her research has been funded by National Institutes of Health\, RRF Foundation on Aging\, Templeton Foundation\, Borchard Foundation\, and most recently Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. She was editor-in-chief of Journal of Gerontology: Social Sciences (2015-20)\, and is principal investigator of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79). She currently serves as editor-in-chief of Journal of Health and Social Behavior (2023-25). Dr. Carr has served on the Board of Directors of the Population Association of America\, and as chair of the sections on Aging & the Life Course and Medical Sociology of the American Sociological Association. She is a fellow of the Gerontological Society of America\, a member of the honorary Sociological Research Association\, and the recipient of the 2022 Matilda White Riley Distinguished Scholar Award and 2023 Outstanding Mentorship Award from the ASA Aging & Life Course section. She was elected to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences in 2024. Her research and op-eds have been featured in national media including The New York Times\, USA Today\, CNN\, Los Angeles Times\, The Conversation\, PBS programs including Story in the Public Square and To the Contrary\, podcasts including the New Books Network\, and other sources.

SUMMARY:Ashwaghosha Parthasarathi on "Coverage Is Not Care — The Clinical and Economic Toll of Insurance Barriers to Care"
DESCRIPTION:Hybrid seminar hosted by IFH’s Center for Climate\, Health\, and Healthcare\nSpeaker: Ashwaghosha Parthasarathi\, MBBS\, Postdoctoral Research Associate\, CCHHDescription: Health insurance coverage is often assumed to mean that patients can get the care they need. In reality\, many patients and clinicians still face common barriers that make care harder to access\, such as extra insurance approval steps before treatment\, insurance refusing to pay for recommended services or medicines\, medications not being included on a plan’s covered list\, and high out-of-pocket costs patients must pay themselves. These barriers can delay treatment\, interrupt ongoing care\, create extra work for clinical teams\, and add costs across the healthcare system. \nIn this one-hour seminar\, we will share findings from ongoing studies examining how insurance barriers shape healthcare access\, clinical care\, and sustainability. Using examples from asthma biologics and inhaler coverage\, we will discuss how insurance plan rules can influence which treatments patients receive\, how quickly they receive them\, and what financial burden they face. We will also briefly discuss a protocol in development to evaluate policy changes after biosimilar entry\, as an example of how future research can assess effects on treatment continuity\, adherence\, and healthcare utilization. \nThis session is designed for a general research audience and will provide a clear\, practical overview of how insurance policies can function as important real-world determinants of care. \nIn-Person: 5th Floor Conference Room\, IFH\, 112 Paterson Street\, New Brunswick \nVia Zoom https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/99475027371?pwd=4wnLfqFoDrGAgnnrh98aye33uG4XdC.1&from=addon

SUMMARY:Institute for Health Seminar: Dr. Philip Yanos on Exiles in NYC & Mental Health in US
DESCRIPTION:Clinical psychologist and professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice\, Dr. Philip Yanos\, joins IFH for a seminar to discuss his book\, Exiles in New York City: Warehousing the Marginalized on Ward’s Island.  \n🗓️ Tuesday\, February 24 12:00pm \n🏢 💻 Hybrid Seminar: \nIFH\, 1st Floor Conference Room. Please join us in person if you can and feel free to bring your lunch. Coffee and cookies will be provided. \nZoom Option: \n\n\n\nMeeting URL:\nhttps://rutgers.zoom.us/j/93187944622?pwd=1Aqis1itqlBHaueN8kXdFSse1bIaEa.1&from=addon\n\n\nMeeting ID:\n931 8794 4622\n\n\nPasscode:\n127235\n\n\n\nWard’s Island in the East River sits just a short distance from Manhattan\, Queens\, and the Bronx\, yet it has been cordoned off from the rest of New York City. For nearly two centuries\, it has been treated as a dumping ground for society’s most marginalized—the unhoused\, recent immigrants\, and people diagnosed with mental illnesses. Even today\, its two psychiatric hospitals\, homeless shelters\, and residential substance-use treatment program house more than one thousand people\, but these institutions are fenced off from the athletic fields and green space of the adjoining Randall’s Island Park.  \nPhilip T. Yanos—a clinical psychologist who grew up on Ward’s Island—will explore the history of the island alongside the history of urban mental health systems in the United States. Drawing on archival documents and interviews with current residents and staff while weaving in recollections of his own childhood\, he will trace how the island became a place of exile and brings to life the failings of the approach to mental illness that it represents and propose how it can be transformed into a place of inclusion.

SUMMARY:NJ ACTS Special Populations Seminar with Princeton's Dr. Daniel A. Notterman
DESCRIPTION:The New Jersey Alliance for Clinical and Translational Science and IFH’s Center for Health Services Research presents: \nNJ ACTS Special Populations Seminar\nDaniel A. Notterman\, MA\, MD\, Professor & Vice Dean of Biomedical & Clinical Research\, Princeton University \n“Clinical\, Epidemiological\, and Molecular Insights from the Future of Families Cardiovascular Health Study” \nAs the original cohort of the Future of Families and Child Wellbeing Study enters early adulthood\, this lecture presents findings from a population-based sample of 2\,000 young adults examining how childhood adversity\, risk behaviors\, and social and demographic factors shape early cardiovascular health. We report associations between these exposures and multiple cardiovascular outcomes\, including the American Heart Association’s Life’s Essential 8 cardiovascular health score\, carotid intima–media thickness\, and related clinical and laboratory markers of atherosclerosis. At age 23\, specific risk behaviors were linked to poorer cardiovascular health and increased CIMT\, indicating early vascular disease. Longitudinal DNA methylation analyses at ages 9\, 15\, and 23 reveal that many of these abnormalities are associated with gene-specific methylation changes detectable by age 9\, which persist through adolescence into adulthood\, suggesting the emergence of an adverse epigenetic phenotype well before puberty. \nRegister to Attend: https://go.rutgers.edu/zdvwbsu \nDaniel is a pediatrician by clinical training and a biologist whose research examines interactions between genetic variants and environmental signals in the developing behavioral\, cognitive and emotional phenotype of the child. He wishes to understand the interactions between specific genetic variants\, environmental signals\, and resulting behavioral and health outcomes. As Vice Dean for Biomedical and Clinical Research\, Daniel supports the Office of the Dean for Research in facilitating Princeton’s growing portfolio of clinical research and other research that involves the use of biomaterials or biomedical health data obtained from human subjects. In this role\, he advises the Dean for Research\, the Institutional Review Board (IRB) chair\, and the Research Integrity & Assurance (RIA) director and staff on facilitating compliant clinical research.

SUMMARY:Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias Translational Work-in-Progress Series
DESCRIPTION:Patricia Fitzgerald-Bocarsly\, PhD\nProvost\, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences\, Newark; Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine\, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School & Center for Immunity and Inflammation \n“Does peripheral immunosenesence contribute to Alzheimer’s Disease and provide potential targets for intervention?” \nDr. Fitzgerald-Bocarsly is a cellular immunologist and will discuss some of her work on immune senescence in the context of aging. She is working on a potential grant application that will build on some of her work on immune characterization of aging humans to investigate the increased senescence signature in peripheral blood immune populations from aging humans and the possible contribution of immune senescence to Alzheimer’s Disease. In addition to her groundbreaking work in innate immunity to viral infections\, Dr. Fitzgerald-Bocarsly’s research focuses on senescence of immune populations in blood of donors ranging from cord blood to individuals in their 80s and above\, with an emphasis on CD8+ T cell subsets as well as innate immune cells.\nThis is not a formal talk and discussion and critique are very much welcome. \nAttend via Zoom: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/94769804345?pwd=IMqJIIvuDmRl997R6O4U4NKbt6UWfs.1

SUMMARY:Seminar with Dr. David Rosner on History of Disease in US
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for our next Rutgers Institute for Health Brown Bag Seminar with Dr. David Rosner\, Ronald H. Lauterstein Professor of Sociomedical Sciences & Professor of History at Columbia University. Dr. Rosner will be discussing his new book\, Building the Worlds that Kill Us: Disease\, Death and Inequality in American History (Columbia University Press\, 2024). \nPlease join us in Conference Room 120 at IFH: 112 Paterson Street in New Brunswick. A Zoom link is below for those joining virtually. \nAbout David Rosner: David Rosner\, PhD\, MPH\, focuses on research at the intersection of public health and social history and the politics of occupational disease and industrial pollution. He has been actively involved in lawsuits on behalf of cities\, states and communities around the nation who are trying to hold the lead\, asbestos and chemical industry accountable for past acts that have resulted in tremendous damage to America’s children. Cases aimed at removing lead from children’s environments\, removing PCBs from state waterways\, and asbestos suits aimed at providing funds for remediation and compensation for victims of environmental and occupational disease have grown out of his academic work. His work on the history of industry understanding the harms done by their industrial toxins has been part of law suits on behalf of asbestos workers and silicosis victims as well. \nAbout Building the Worlds that Kill Us: Across American history\, the question of whose lives are long and healthy and whose lives are short and sick has always been shaped by the social and economic order. From the dispossession of Indigenous people and the horrors of slavery to infectious diseases spreading in overcrowded tenements and the vast environmental contamination caused by industrialization\, and through climate change and pandemics in the twenty-first century\, those in power have left others behind. \nThrough the lens of death and disease\, Building the Worlds That Kill Us provides a new way of understanding the history of the United States from the colonial era to the present. David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz demonstrate that the changing rates and kinds of illnesses reflect social\, political\, and economic structures and inequalities of race\, class\, and gender. These deep inequities determine the disparate health experiences of rich and poor\, Black and white\, men and women\, immigrant and native-born\, boss and worker\, Indigenous and settler. This book underscores that powerful people and institutions have always seen some lives as more valuable than others\, and it emphasizes how those who have been most affected by the disparities in rates of disease and death have challenged and changed these systems. Ultimately\, this history shows that unequal outcomes are a choice―and we can instead collectively make decisions that foster life and health. \n\n\n\nMeeting URL:\nhttps://rutgers.zoom.us/j/93133644300?pwd=og7lNI2dfMzv5fkyPbdwTz3oL96yke.1&from=addon\n\n\nMeeting ID:\n931 3364 4300\n\n\nPassword:\n717694
