About Unanswered Maydays: Not leaving Sisters and Brothers behind!

We are not hearing our brothers and sisters screaming "Mayday". There are three main areas where we are not answering the call for firefighters across the Nation!. These areas include Mental Health, Cancer, after the diagnosis, and Retirees. This joint venture between Houston FD and WSU Extension addresses the "firefighter" culture and provides resource experts and others to provide timely research based information.

Unanswered Maydays: Texas Firefighter Cancer Study - Part 1

In this segment of the "Unanswered Maydays" we will introduce the Texas Firefighter Cancer Study from the University of Texas. We will be speaking with research engineers, Juan Alvarez, Juan.Alvarez@uth.tmc.edu [Juan.Alvarez@uth.tmc.edu], and Victoria Vidal, Victoria.Vidal@uth.tmc.edu [Victoria.Vidal@uth.tmc.edu]. We will also be speaking with Captain Gabe Dominguez of the Houston Fire Department Website: https://sph.uth.edu/research/centers/swcoeh/firefighter-research/ [https://sph.uth.edu/research/centers/swcoeh/firefighter-research/] Background: In response to growing evidence of elevated cancer risk among firefighters in Texas, and in recognition of the critical need for improved occupational exposure tracking and early detection, the Texas State Legislature appropriated funds through Senate Bill 1 89th Legislature in May 2025 to UTHealth Houston to establish the Texas Firefighter Cancer Study. This two-year initiative is designed to reduce the burden of firefighter-related cancers through three projects. While each project requires a distinct study protocol due to its methodological scope and data sources, they are unified by a shared scientific framework. The overarching protocol conceptualizes firefighter cancer risk as a multi-project process, beginning with exposure to carcinogens during firefighting activities, progressing through biological alterations, culminating in cancer diagnoses confirmed by registries, and clinical cancer screening promotion campaigns.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
