“Some cardiologists, not all, have been reluctant to agree with testosterone replacement therapy because of that black box warning,” UTMB’s Dr. Thomas Blackwell told Medscape Medical News for a story on labeling changes. “With that being removed, you are going to see a big roadblock taken away so that more men can benefit from testosterone therapy.”

Quickly and accurately identifying which microbe is causing a patient’s disease is key to developing the proper treatment, write Drs. Norbert Herzog and David Niesel in their weekly Medical Discovery News column.

"We're really trying to come up with something that was more practical, easier to use, that could be used to help prevent, control, and contain outbreaks," says UTMB’s Dr. Thomas Geisbert. He and his team published research that shows the antiviral Obeldesivir could protect against an Ebola infection. This news was shared widely across the globe including in France 24, Gizmodo, Yahoo!news and others.

"Certainly, good nutrition can promote a healthy immune system, and it's a good idea for everyone to try to maintain good nutrition, but it's certainly not a substitute for vaccination," Dr. Scott Weaver tells ABC News. The U.S. measles outbreak continues to grow even as some tout unproven remedies such as vitamin A and cod liver oil.

Not only does Vitamin A not provide protection against measles, but getting measles in the hopes of strengthening your immune system does not work either, Dr. Scott Weaver tells ScienceNews. “It actually interferes with your immune system in the short run,” Weaver said. “If you’re infected by a [measles] virus without being vaccinated, the infection suppresses your immune response for typically a few months to a few years, and that can lead to you being more vulnerable to secondary infections.”

UTMB’s Dr. Marcela Navarro spoke to Parents.com about what parents should look for when picking out a stroller wagon. Navarro highlighted five key safety features a stroller wagon should include: 5-point harness, sturdy frame and wide wheelbase, locking brakes, UV-protective canopy, and high weight capacity.

In his column, Dr. Samuel Mathis wrote about the health benefits of hiking.

Dr. Scott Weaver also spoke the Dallas Morning News about the West Texas measles outbreak. “What’s particularly bad about the measles virus is that it damages or destroys a lot of our immune cells that maintain our immune memory,” Weaver said.

"I'm concerned that people think that vitamin A or other nutrition is a substitute for vaccination to prevent infection and to prevent spread," UTMB’s Dr. Scott Weaver tells NPR. Two people have died in the West Texas/New Mexico measles outbreak and infectious disease doctors are worried about the spread of misinformation on online and from the federal government, NPR reports.

The Daily News shared a story on UTMB’s recently announced collaboration with Nipoka, a German-based imaging and diagnostic company, that could transform how kidney patients are diagnosed, treated and monitored.
