Global Warming
Pollen season has increased by 11-27 days because of global warming, which is mostly due to burning these things
What are fossil fuels?
Pollen leads to this type of hypersensitivity reaction
What is type I hypersensitivity?
*IgE antibodies will mistake it for something harmful leading to immediate histamine release from mast cells!
The three pillars of medical education include basic science, clinical science, and this science that underscores delivery of care and population health
What is health systems science (HSS)?
*Unlike others, this science grows with its environment, so we can only devise a framework to tackle future scenarios
I traveled to Vietnam
I traveled to France
I traveled to Antarctica
What is "I traveled to Antarctica"?
This type of community, often characterized by high population density, is much more prone to gradual temperature increases
What are urban communities?
*Lots of fossil fuels burning here leads to urban heat islands
Amb a 1 is the protein in ragweed that triggers 75% of this condition, which is also known as allergic rhinitis
What is hay fever?
*Global warming will increase the protein's potency and ragweed's growth
Heart disease, diabetes, asthma, arthritis are all under this group of conditions that will last for at least 1 year long
What are chronic conditions?
*6/10 Americans have one of these, and it costs $3.3 trillion a year to treat these
I've never seen any The Lord of the Rings movies
I've never seen any Harry Potter movies
I've never seen any Star Wars movies
What is "I've never seen any The Lord of the Rings movies"?
What is ozone?
Aside from trees, organisms from this taxonomic kingdom can also spread more spores with increased global warming
What are fungi?

(Hit space for info about HSS)
HSS is a field that all students learn to work on while all current providers work to learn, so medical schools now incorporate it into classroom settings (like how Jefferson does)
I'm mildly allergic to milk
I'm mildly allergic to eggs
I'm mildly allergic to peanuts
What is "I'm mildly allergic to milk"?
Alongside heavier winds, warmer temperatures also lead to dry spells followed by heavier variants of this weather event
What is rain (thunderstorms also okay)?
Urushiol is the compound that triggers allergic contact dermatitis in this common plant, which happens to be a type IV hypersensitivity reaction
What is poison ivy?
*More CO2 leads to more poison ivy and creation of more potent urushiol compounds
What is immigration?
*Natural increase is just excess births compared to deaths
*This also emphasizes a greater need for more cultural and epidemiologic appreciation of a multitude of demographics
I can type up to 120 words per minute
I can fold an origami crane in 3 minutes
I can solve a Rubik's cube in 20 seconds
What is "I can solve a Rubik's cube in 20 seconds"?
Values of 0-100 of this index is mostly okay for people with asthma, but anything above that may lead to serious consequences
What is Air Quality Index?
*0-50 is ideal, and 300+ is dangerous for anyone
Trees like hickory and this one known for producing acorns produce many of the allergy-inducing pollens
What are oak trees?
*Only male trees produce pollen! Female ones don't!
Domains of HSS range from patient safety to teamwork to social determinants of health, all of which come from this theory that emphasizes that the whole is greater than the sum of its individual parts
What is systems theory?
*Essentially focusing on how every part affects each other
I've eaten over 60 pieces of sushi in one sitting
I've eaten over 40 Peeps in one sitting
I've eaten over 30 dumplings in one sitting
