Toxicology

Huntington’s disease (HD) sits at the crossroads of genetics, neurodegeneration, and innovation. This rare, inherited disorder progressively affects movement, mood, and cognition — and while there’s still no cure, dozens of investigational therapies are advancing rapidly through preclinical and clinical pipelines.

When a winter storm hits, we brace for power outages, icy roads, and freezing temperatures. But toxicologists know another danger lurks quietly in the cold: chemical and environmental exposures that surge during winter emergencies. If you’re a clinician, emergency manager, or public health professional, here’s the one clear idea:

Typhoid fever isn’t a relic of the past—it remains a global health threat, particularly in regions with limited access to clean water and sanitation. For travelers, clinicians, and global health professionals, vaccination remains the cornerstone of prevention.

When a hurricane strikes, the focus usually centers on wind speed, flooding, and evacuation routes. But after the storm passes, an invisible crisis begins: toxic exposure. Floodwaters, mold, sewage, fuels, and damaged infrastructure release a cocktail of chemicals into the air, soil, and water—creating a public health emergency that often goes unnoticed. If you’re a public health professional, environmental scientist, or community responder, here’s the one clear idea:
