Episode 32 - Conversations in IFN-y Driven Diseases: Decoding the Gamma Signal - Part 3: Primary HLH
This third podcast episode in the series explores advanced understanding of primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), focusing on its genetic basis, diagnostic innovations, and treatment strategies. The discussion highlights the pathophysiology of HLH as an interferon gamma (IFN-γ) driven disease, emphasizing the role of novel diagnostic tools such as flow cytometry and genetic panels. The panel also examines emerging therapies, including JAK inhibitors and IFN-γ monoclonal antibody (emapalumab), in improving outcomes for both primary and secondary HLH. Practical insights into balancing immunosuppression with efficacy offer guidance for optimizing patient care.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
