we'll start with whether nih still has a problem. >> in hospitals all over the country and the world there's always a threat of hospital acquired infection. we have not had a transmission with this organism for over six months and yet we're always vigilant and concerned. so i think it will be fair to say there's always a possibility because after all, 5% of all patients that enter any hospital in the united states get a hospital acquired infection and unfortunately despite all the efforts that we take to try to make hospitals a safe environment 100,000 people die per year due to hospital acquired infections. >> despite all the early efforts to contain this nih it managed to spread as we know. it was my understanding it turned up in a ventilator that had been disinfected at least twice, a sink drain in a patient's room. is it clear now how it spread? >> the new techniques we've used to track this organism have taught us a lot about how it spreads and yet we still don't know exactly how to break the chain which lings this from one patient to another. we know more and are more effective

using the latest gene sequencing technology nih tracked the spread. a contaminated respirator was part of the problem. so were patients who harbored the bacteria for months with no symptoms. the hospital stepped up its precautions even more. doctors say the nih detective work is impressive but this outbreak shows if it can happen at the nation's premier hospital it can and does happen almost anywhere. the cdc estimates 1.7 million americans get hospital-acquired infections every year and 99,000 die from them. many experts think those estimates are too low. maimonides hospital in brooklyn uses the best infection control -- isolation rooms, gloves, gowns, constant hand washing. but officials say it is impossible to completely prevent infection. >> the best way to avoid hospital acquired infections is to not be in a hospital unless it is absolutely necessary. when it is necessary to be in a hospital to leave as soon as it's indicated to leave the hospital. >> reporter: advice that becomes more crucial as bacteria gain ever more deadly resistance to antib

what's different is how nih acknowledged the problem and what was done about it. according to nih officials, the outbreak of club ciella pneumonia made its would you weigh into the 240-bed research facility in 2011 for a female student in new york. bystander procedure, she was placed in isolation, treated and released in january 2011. other patients started to become infected with the same superbug, resistant to two antibiotics. >> we could not tell from the clinical biology tests whether we had a match. patient 1's bacteria was the same as patient 2's. >> the national research institute was called in to do something revolutionary, to see if the outbreak could be contained by examining the bacteria's dna. >> we sequenced the dna of six organis organisms. they read out aggct. then we compared these 6 million base pairs and these bacteria differed out of 2 million base pairs out of 6 million. that's a match. >> reporter: armed with that knowledge, the hospital took even more extraordinary measures. a special isolation ward was constructed. items like blood pressure

dark year of my experience, the survival of my patients was -- if a person walk into a clinic at the nih or any other place that has availability of the treatment is young 25 and recently infected you put them on combination therapy and look in the eye and tell them it is likely they adhere to that regimen, they will live an additional fifty years. there is not only confined -- [applause] just in the developed world it's known now in countries, for example, analysis at the same similar results with normal life expectancy. that's the good news. there's challenging. this is a very scary slide. because if you look at the united states the 1.1 million people infected, 20% don't know they're infectded. 162% are linked to -- 41 areed contained. only 36% on antiviral and 28% are sur pressing. we have to do better that than. we have the tools. we need to implement that. it can -- question take example from the developing world. whey need to do is we need and are doing it having continuum that is seeking out testing, linking to care, treating when eligible and making sure they adhere and in fact

dark year of my experience, the survival of my patients was -- if a person walk into a clinic at the nih or any other place that has availability of the treatment is young 25 and recently infected yu put them on combination therapy and look in the eye and tell them it is likely they adhere to that regimen, they will live an additional fifty years. there is not only confined -- [applause] just in the developed world it's known now in countries, for example, analysis at the same similar results with normal life expectancy. that's the good news. there's challenging. this is a very scary slide. because if you look at the united states the 1.1 million people infected, 20% don't know they're infectded. 162% are linked to -- 41 areed contained. only 36% on antiviral and 28% are sur pressing. we have to do better that than. we have the tools. we need to implement that. it can -- question take example from the developing world. whey need to do is we need and are doing it having continuum that is seeking out testing, linking to care, treating when eligible and making sure they adhere and in fact g

challenges right now which is more pressing is the limits on the federal budget for the support of nih. that has been a real challenge. the success rate for investigators now is below 20%. that is the lowest it has ever been. until we can fund research in this country, i think it will be a challenge to keep people in that pipeline. host: david is a physician from lafayette, louisiana. caller: i was wondering if you have any comments about physician burnouts syndrome with physicians leaving practice early and lawsuit issues. i think you will see, they talk about a number of agents that will be hired in the federal government to pursue different -- what they refer to as problems with over-charging or dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's. as a physician, i have seen organizations come into a critique every last thing you do. they have draconian regulations imposed. i think this will lead to burnout becomes a -- because it becomes a pain to practice. regulatory guest: -- guest: regulatory issues are always a problem. the larger piece of your question around physician burnout is int

another built-in bias that copyright law should prevail over those who want to capitalize the reason nih shows these is because an american culture we have reverence for the copyright act or creators of knowledge we want to reward them with that benefit who are they writing about? often about the attar women, people of color those who recently understood they are in viewed with the right of publicity you will no time and again it prevails in preamps publicity. you may think that is action. look at context. many holders are institutional copyright holders. and music companies, media companies, publishing companies that they have created another is publicity. in the chapter i look at it the vanna white case hell of white woman could be reduced to a level of illegitimacy because of her job she sued samsung because they developed a robot with a blond wig and spoofed her and did not ask her permission. all those she eventually prevailed at trial, but the judge wrote a scathing dissent in. he agreed to stir. -- her if you dress up a monkey you could do her job. . . freedom of expression. and a

the nih would have to cut or curtail vital scientific research such as research in cancer, and childhood diseases. the president's detailed submission to the deep for the present to the committee last september in its february budget both included a plan to responsibly avoid these cuts, making tough choices to reduce the deficit with a balanced package of spending cuts and revenue increases. the president's plan included $2.50 in spending cuts for every $1 in revenue. overall, over $4 trillion in debt as a reduction. that far exceeds the amount required by the joint committee to avoid sequestration. recently, attention in congress has focused on seeking information from the administration and planning and preparing for sequestration. i want to stress that in the very unfortunate event that congress fails to pass a balanced the deficit reduction package and avoid sequestration, the administration will indeed be prepared to issue the sequestration order on january 2 and manage its implementation. let me be very clear -- no amount of planning, no amount of planning will mitigate the damagin

to reach these targets as well as support similar global efforts to reduce hiv incidents, nih continues to invest in cutting-edge prevention research related to vaccines and microbicides. we are so pleased to see greater emphasis on the use of treatment as prevention. also, last week approval of true have a that by the u.s. food and drug administration marks a milestone for preexposure and adds another tool to our efforts to reduce incidents. as part of the national strategy, all department of health and human services agencies are charged with realigning federal dollars to concentrate on both geographic -- areas and places with the greatest need. to that end, the center for disease control and prevention launch high impact prevention strategies in the most heavily effected population and is promoting the rights that everied red aless dent and adult get tested at least once in the lifetime and those with increase risk get tested once per year. the center of disease control and prevention released a new social marketing campaign called testing makes us stronger. it was designed for and i
