Podcasts about abdominal

Intro: Hello, and welcome to episode 178 of the Childless Not by Choice Podcast. My name is Civilla Morgan. My mission is to recognize and speak to childless women and men worldwide, reminding us that we can live joyful, relevant, and fulfilled lives.  And whether you have children or not, thank you for tuning in!     What is today's show about? Ectopic Pregnancies     I have not forgotten that this podcast is about childlessness. Indeed, being childless not by choice. And we all know there are many reasons for childlessness, including medical issues such as endometriosis, fibroids, adenomyosis, miscarriage, PCOS, and so many other physical and physiological issues.  Trauma, both physical and emotional, can be a cause. Being born without a uterus, which I have discussed on this podcast before. I will put a link to that interview in the show notes for this episode. And then just the unknown, also known as idiopathic infertility.    I want to talk about ectopic pregnancy because I have never discussed it. But let's step back a little. Let's talk about the uterus. And I realize I am speaking to the choir here. I think most of you know what a uterus is and what it does. So let me say this in one or two sentences: The uterus is where a baby grows once the sperm fertilizes the egg. So if the egg, sperm, and fertilization end up anywhere outside of the uterus, the pregnancy will not thrive. In fact, the pregnancy will not go to term. And most times that ending up outside the uterus means the components I just mentioned: the sperm and egg, end up in the fallopian tubes. It's like driving down a highway, the fallopian tubes. You are supposed to end up at a destination, the uterus, but you get stuck on the highway instead. And sometimes getting stuck on the highway can cause irreparable damage. Meaning the possibility of no future natural pregnancies.  Although we have two fallopian tubes, so if one is affected by an ectopic pregnancy, if the other one is healthy, a viable pregnancy is possible.   The risk of an ectopic pregnancy is 1-2%.  It sounds like a small percentage, but a percentage is a percentage, isn't it? It's small until it happens to you.     And human physiology is not something that can be contested. In other words, there is no way to have a baby successfully grow outside of the womb, the uterus. And again, I know I don't need to say this, but I am not referring to other types of creating pregnancy, like the gift of a successful IVF. I am talking about how a pregnancy starts biologically, and the only way it can continue.   So, ectopic pregnancies.  ‘An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, typically in the fallopian tube.'--AI.  Ectopic pregnancies are often caused by damaged fallopian tubes, which prevent a fertilized egg from reaching the uterus, leading it to implant and grow elsewhere.  Risk factors for tubal damage and subsequent ectopic pregnancies include  pelvic inflammatory disease (PID),  endometriosis,  Previous abdominal pelvic surgery  Smoking.  Other risk factors include conception while using an intrauterine device (IUD)  After a tubal ligation (sterilization), Ongoing fertility treatments.   Age: Being older than age 35 can also be a risk factor.    I want to stop here and note that an ectopic pregnancy can be very dangerous. It is suggested that if you believe or have been diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy, you should see your physician immediately.  Symptoms:  Vaginal bleeding or spotting Abdominal pain, often one-sided Shoulder pain Nausea and vomiting Dizziness or fainting    Now, the good news in all of this is that the chances of a successful pregnancy after an ectopic pregnancy are good, ranging from 65 to 85%, especially as time goes on. Meaning if you get pregnant again in 18 months, a successful pregnancy is 65% likely. In two years, it is 85% likely.    I will say again, if we have arrived at the fact that we will not be having children. Maybe we have already had the hysterectomy. Maybe we have stopped IVF. We have just come to terms and decided to move on with our lives as childless not by choice people. That's what this podcast was created to address. But I also believe it is important to know more than our own journey. And that if we ever want to discuss more than our own journey, we are in the know. We can intelligently discuss as much or as little as we would like.  Knowledge allows us to have the ball in our court.    Maybe you have a family member or friend who is or has suffered from an ectopic pregnancy. Maybe you have, and then the pregnancy never happened for you. Either way, this is a slice of knowledge.  And I hope it was helpful.   As I close out this episode, I want to remind you that we are approaching our final episodes.  It is a bittersweet feeling, as I have said before. But I know I am doing the right thing. I am feeling a shift and I need to go along with that shift. I will keep the Facebook group open, I will keep the website up and running. And in fact, I may now find time to refresh the website. www.childlessnotbychoice.net.   Usually I go on hiatus for October and November. I have decided to do an October episode, and hiatus for November only. Back in December with a final episode.  Any questions, please feel free to reach out.

In this powerful episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban sits down with Lucy, a remarkable patient who faced one of the most difficult reconstructive journeys imaginable. At just nine years old, Lucy was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis and later primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), conditions that ultimately led her to undergo a life-saving liver transplant at the age of 26. Her brother became her living donor, giving her not only a second chance at life, but also a new battle: living with the aftermath of a massive Mercedes incision scar, abdominal wall weakness, and multiple failed hernia repairs. Dr. Rahban walks listeners through Lucy's story of resilience, exploring the intersection between reconstructive surgery and cosmetic outcomes. He explains why scar tissue, abdominal wall hernias, and post-transplant deformities are not just functional issues but deeply impact body image and confidence. Lucy's journey highlights how revision surgery is about more than “fixing” a scar — it's about restoring strength, balance, and aesthetic harmony to the abdomen. From failed liposuction recommendations to the dangers of blind fat transfers over hernias, Dr. Rahban exposes the pitfalls of one-size-fits-all surgical solutions. Instead, he reveals the meticulous, individualized approach required in cases like Lucy's — blending the principles of a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), abdominal wall reconstruction, and functional hernia repair into a procedure that is both life-changing and aesthetically transformative. Seven months post-surgery, Lucy shares how she's back to horseback riding, jumping, and training multiple horses daily — a true testament to the power of plastic surgery done right. Together, Dr. Rahban and Lucy shed light on key lessons for anyone considering revision surgery, scar revision, or reconstructive procedures after major abdominal operations: Why transparency and patient education are non-negotiable.The red flags of overconfident surgeons.How to evaluate surgical recommendations that actually make sense.The importance of marrying form and function in every operation.This episode is not just about one patient's story — it's about a universal message: whether it's breast reconstruction, hernia repair, or abdominal scar revision, every patient deserves results that look as good as they feel.

Hi ha moltíssimes persones que al llarg del dia experimenten una inflor creixent de panxa que acaba sent una veritable molèstia. No tenen cap malaltia ni cap problema seriós de salut, però no hi ha manera de combatre-ho. Quins aliments podrien ser la causa d'aquesta inflor? Hi ha alguna dieta per evitar-la? Cal prendre algun suplement? Si al final del dia et sents com un globus, aquest és el teu pòdcast.

In this episode of The Wholesome Fertility Podcast, I'm diving into a topic that often doesn't get enough attention when it comes to fertility, blood flow and microcirculation. From my perspective as a fertility acupuncturist and through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), blood is so much more than oxygen delivery, it's the vital carrier of nutrients, energy, and life force. I'll share why healthy circulation to the uterus and ovaries is essential for egg quality and implantation, and how poor blood flow can affect fertility outcomes. More importantly, I'll give you natural tools you can start using today, like acupuncture, abdominal massage, stress reduction, and foods such as beets and pomegranates, that can help support optimal blood flow. This conversation is all about reconnecting with your body, learning the signals it's giving you, and using holistic, practical ways to create the best possible environment for conception. Key Takeaways: Adequate blood flow to the uterus and ovaries is essential for egg quality and implantation. Stress and “liver qi stagnation” can constrict circulation, but acupuncture helps restore balance. Foods like beets, pomegranate juice, and omega-3s naturally increase nitric oxide and improve blood vessel health. Simple lifestyle shifts like yoga, breathwork, and warm nourishing meals can enhance circulation and fertility. Abdominal massage and castor oil packs are powerful, low-cost tools to support reproductive health. Ready to discover what your body needs most on your fertility journey?

Subsequently, she achieved a BSc Hons in Podiatry and practiced in a private setting for a decade. In 2008, she took the significant step of founding SRC Health. While recuperating in the hospital following the birth of her first child, Sinead O'Donovan, our founder, recognized the need for greater support for new mothers returning to their bustling lives. Leveraging her extensive medical and bio-mechanical expertise, she envisioned a garment that would provide comfort throughout the day while offering the necessary support for herself and other new mothers.Like all transformative ideas, this concept underwent an extended development phase to align with Sinead's original vision. Adjustments were made to the panel design, and in the pursuit of perfection, custom fabrics were created to meet the high standards set by Sinead.After two years of meticulous development and patient trials, the garment finally fulfilled all expectations. In 2008, the SRC Recovery Shorts were introduced, a unique and patented product that has since aided thousands of mothers worldwide in recovering more comfortably and savouring their time with their babies.

Send us a textIn this episode, I sit down with Laura Fuentes-Aparicio, a physiotherapist who helps women with their pelvic health. She is the Director of the Master's Program in Specialized Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy and teaches at the University of Valencia. Laura's mission is simple: to raise awareness, share knowledge, and find the best ways to help women feel and live better.We also dig into her recent research on abdominal and lumbar muscle recovery after pregnancy. Using ultrasound, her team compared women who had never given birth with those six months postpartum. They found the oblique muscles were thinner in postpartum women, but overall contractile function of the core remained intact—an important distinction for clinicians making decisions about exercise progressions and postpartum rehabWhether you're a clinician, a student, or just curious, this episode gives you a closer look at the challenges women face and how science, exercise, and better care can make a difference.We talk about:-The challenges of doing research-How abdominal thickness can change in women-Why exercise during pregnancy matters-Diastasis recti (ab separation)-Different approaches to treatment for pelvic healthTime Stamps1:00 Introduction2:10 conducting research in Spain8:05 working with subject matter experts11:47 discussing the 2024 Journal paper16:50 recommendations in Spain20:00 recluse abdominus exercises25:20 when women see a physio in Spain31:59 expanding on research40:01 using more modalities44:55 favorite part of researchCONNECT WITH CARRIEIG: https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/Website: https://carriepagliano.comCONNECT WITH LAURA:IG: https://www.instagram.com/laurafisiosuelopelvico/Email: laura.fuentes@uv.esThe Active Mom Podcast is A Real Moms' Guide to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause & beyond for active moms & the professionals who help them in their journey.   This show has been a long time in the making!    You can expect conversation with moms and professionals from all aspects of the industry.    If you're like me, you don't have a lot of free time (heck, you're probably listening at 1.5x speed), so theses interviews will be quick hits to get your the pertinent information FAST!   If you love what you hear, share the podcast with a friend and leave us a 5 start rating and review.

Abdominal pain in EDS can be a puzzle with countless hidden pieces. In this episode, Dr. Linda Bluestein welcomes back Dr. Pradeep Chopra for part two of their exploration into gastrointestinal problems. Together, they uncover overlooked causes of abdominal pain, from drooping intestines and tethered spinal cords to mast cell activation and nerve entrapment. Listeners will hear surprising connections between the spine, bladder, ribs, and gut, with insights that could explain symptoms often dismissed or misunderstood. Takeaways: How intestines “dropping” into the pelvis complicate digestion and bladder function. Why tethered cord surgery may relieve unexpected symptoms, including GI issues. The overlooked role of mast cell activation in abdominal pain and food intolerances. How abdominal pain can actually begin in the ribs, nerves, or pelvic floor. Why abdominal migraines and CRPS challenge traditional medical thinking. Find the episode transcript here. Want more Dr. Pradeep Chopra?

Abdominal wall hernias appear at points of congenital or acquired weakness in the abdominal muscle wall, and their correction involves an understanding of both the nature of the precipitating flaw and the character of the abdominal wall. In this podcast, Lancaster-based surgeon Kelly Janke, DO, discusses these elements in the context of advanced hernia surgery. and reviews the factors that predispose individuals to either good or less-than-optimal outcomes following intervention.

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Colonel Stacey Shackelford discusses the critical aspects of managing abdominal trauma, particularly in battlefield settings. The conversation covers the statistics of battlefield casualties, current practices in trauma management, innovations in hemorrhage control, surgical techniques, and the challenges faced in trauma care. The discussion also emphasizes the importance of post-operative care and the need for future research in trauma medicine.Takeaways90% of casualties died before reaching a surgical hospital.Two thirds of pre-hospital deaths were from torso hemorrhage.Advanced pre-hospital care options are limited.RoboA and other techniques are being explored for hemorrhage control.Retropartennial packing is primarily for pelvic fractures.Basic skills in trauma care are essential for success.Chest tubes may play a larger role in reducing hemorrhage.Ongoing resuscitation and electrolyte management are critical post-surgery.Team dynamics are crucial in trauma surgery.More clinical exposure for medics is necessary for better outcomes.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Abdominal Trauma02:38 Understanding Battlefield Casualties05:21 Current Practices in Trauma Management08:42 Innovations in Hemorrhage Control11:21 Surgical Techniques and Decision Making14:30 Challenges in Trauma Care17:14 Post-Operative Care and Complications20:10 Future Directions in Trauma ResearchFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠⁠

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are potentially life-threatening and have a poor prognosis if ruptured. Arterial aneurysms are defined as a permanent localised dilatation of the vessel, enlarging significantly compared to a relatively normal diameter of the adjacent artery. An AAA is characterised by abnormal focal dilation of the abdominal aorta that is often detected incidentally or only at the time of rupture. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at AAA risk factors, clinical presentations, diagnostic investigations, screening, treatments and prognosis.Access episode show notes containing key references and take-home points at:https://gpnotebook.com/en-GB/podcasts/cardiovascular-medicine/ep-173-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm.Did you know?

I'm Dr. Daniel Cameron. In my practice, I often see patients with chronic pain, and I want to explore whether chronic Lyme disease could be part of the puzzle behind America's growing pain epidemic.A recent paper by Jovkovich in Pain reported that chronic pain prevalence in U.S. adults rose from 21% in 2019 to 24% in 2023—affecting 60 million people. Only about 13% of this increase was linked to long COVID. The rest remains unexplained.Overlap Between Lyme Pain and National Pain TrendsThe types of pain described—back, neck, joint, headache, abdominal, and widespread musculoskeletal pain—mirror what I see in chronic Lyme patients. Lyme pain is often multi-system, migratory, unpredictable, and can flare with fatigue and stress. It includes:Musculoskeletal pain: Joint and tendon pain, often misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia.Neurologic pain: Headaches resistant to migraine therapy, burning or electrical-shock sensations, small fiber neuropathy.Abdominal/pelvic pain: Frequently linked with autonomic dysfunction.Why Lyme Gets MissedTesting limitations: Standard CDC two-tier testing is more reliable in acute cases, leaving many chronic patients without positive results.Mislabels: Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or “pain of unknown origin.”COVID-era factors: More outdoor exposure, missed diagnoses due to care delays, absent rash or visible tick bite.Geography and DemographicsThe pain hotspots in the Pain study—Northeast, Upper Midwest, Pacific coast—are also Lyme-endemic regions. Affected populations included working adults, outdoor enthusiasts, rural and suburban residents, aligning closely with Lyme risk groups.Strongest Evidence: Treatment ResponsePerhaps the clearest sign is clinical: when patients with undiagnosed Lyme receive targeted antibiotic or co-infection therapy, their chronic pain often improves or resolves.Bottom line: Chronic Lyme disease may be an overlooked contributor to America's pain crisis. The symptoms overlap, the geography matches, and patients often respond to treatment. To better address the 60 million Americans in pain, we need to update diagnostic strategies, look beyond tick rash and positive tests, and include Lyme disease in the differential.

The James is a leader in an advanced surgical technique that delivers heated chemotherapy directly to the cancerous cells in patients with rare and advanced types of cancers in the abdomen. “The heat helps the effect of the chemotherapy when it comes into contact with the cancer cells,” said Dr. Pamela Lu, a surgical oncologist and the lead of the James Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) team. “And the heat alone can have a toxic effect in killing cancer cells.” The HIPEC surgery is used for patients with cancer in the abdomen and peritoneal lining of the abdomen. “The cancer can look like tiny white spots, it can be raised or flat” and it can be located in several different areas, Lu said. The first step of the HIPEC procedure is to explore the abdomen and peritoneal lining “and take a survey of how much cancer is there,” Lu said. A scoring system is used to determine how much cancer is in several different regions, “how much surgery a patient will need” and if the initial cytoreduction surgery can be effective to remove all visible tumors. “Once this is complete, we proceed with HIPEC, through a hot chemotherapy bath that enters the site through tubes and a special profusion machine that allows the chemo solution to circulate through the abdomen.” The HIPEC technique leads to better outcomes because the direct access to any remaining cancer cells after surgery allows Lu “to give higher doses of chemotherapy with reduced toxicity.”

Cesarean Delivery: Major Abdominal SurgeryWelcome back to The Critical Care Obstetrics Podcast with hosts Suzanne McMurtry Baird (Nursing Director) and Stephanie Martin (Medical Director) of Clinical Concepts in Obstetrics.In this episode, we explore why cesarean delivery is not just another routine procedure—but truly a major abdominal surgery. While C-section is the most common surgical procedure performed in U.S. hospitals, its seriousness is often overlooked because of its frequency. We discuss:Why 1 in 3 births by cesarean should not normalize the risksThe role of evidence-based practices: avoiding the first cesarean, neuraxial anesthesia, infection prevention, and family-centered careWhat makes it a major surgery: open abdomen, incision types, considerations in obese patients, and classical cesarean challengesSafety for mothers, babies, and support persons in the ORCommon complications including VTE, infection and sepsis, blood loss, injury to other organs, and the rising risk of placenta accreta spectrumWe also highlight our new lecture in the Postpartum Course covering PACU care and Enhanced Recovery After Cesarean, including RN qualifications, complication management, and communication essentials.

Triggers increased vascular permeability → fluid shifts into tissues. Etiologies Histamine-mediated (anaphylaxis) Associated with urticaria/hives, pruritus, and redness. Triggered by allergens (foods, insect stings, medications). Rapid onset (minutes to hours). Bradykinin-mediated Hereditary angioedema (HAE): C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency (autosomal dominant). Acquired angioedema: Associated with B-cell lymphoma, autoimmune disease, MGUS. Medication-induced: Most commonly ACE inhibitors; rarely ARBs. Typically lacks urticaria and itching. Gradual onset, can last days if untreated. Idiopathic angioedema Unknown cause; diagnosis of exclusion. Clinical Presentations Swelling Asymmetric, non-pitting, usually non-painful. May involve lips, tongue, face, extremities, GI tract. Respiratory compromise Upper airway swelling → stridor, dyspnea, sensation of throat closure. Airway obstruction is the most feared complication. Abdominal manifestations

Welcome back after the holiday weekend! Hope you have all your fingers & toes. We recapped our 4th of July activities, took a look at what's on TV tonight, and we discussed the deaths of Michael Madsen & Julian McMahon. In the news this morning, President Trump announced a possible UFC fight at the White House in 2026, we talked about the flooding in Texas, the WI DNR is asking people to watch out for an invasive species, Costco is recalling a bunch of items, and we talked about the final Black Sabbath show of all time from this past weekend. In sports, the Brewers took two out of three from the Marlins this weekend, former White Sox pitcher Bobby Jenks passed away recently, as did former Bruins goon, Lyndon Byers. Also in sports, a recap of the NASCAR races in Chicago this weekend, the Washington Nationals fired their GM & their manager after getting swept by the Red Sox over the holiday, and the USMNT lost to Mexico….AGAIN! Great story about some boys who helped save a couple of toddlers that wandered onto the roof of their house, and another great story about a young boy who chased after his dog into the desert but was found by rescuers safe & sound. Is your boss an a-hole? Here's six signs that he/she might be! We looked a recent list of America's favorite gas station snacks for road trips. Plus, are naps actually bad for you as you get older? Obviously, we talked about Joey Chestnut's return to the Nathan's hot dog eating competition on Saturday…and we also had a laugh watching Alvin Kamara's attempt at a first pitch this weekend. In today's edition of "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a #FloridaMan who was the first to break a new law in the state, a woman who was busted trying to steal a bunch of beef tongues, smelly Brazilian butt lifts, a driver who hit everything but the lottery while running from the cops, a flight that had to be diverted because a passenger misinterpreted a text message, and a man in China with a live eel in his bowels!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Real talk: I was so excited to release this episode because the research on belly fat is genuinely fascinating — and the protocol I share at the end? You'll want to try it.But then it hit me — I hadn't yet spoken about why we're all so focused on belly fat in the first place. Where did that frustration come from? Was it truly ours to begin with, or did the media quietly hand it to us?So if you've ever felt insecure about your stomach, that's okay. I'm not here to tell you how to feel — just to help you understand what's really going on beneath the surface, at least from a biological standpoint.What You'll Learn:The science behind spot reduction — myth or possibility?The two types of belly fat (and why one matters more than the other)Why the media gets belly fat so wrongWhat actually helps reduce visceral fatA research-backed training protocol to support healthy fat lossHere's the study if you want to check it out:Brobakken, M.

¿Es verdad que consumir avena absorbe la grasa del abdomen? Descúbrelo en este episodio de Frank Suárez

Evaluation of a child with edema can be stress-inducing given the differential diagnoses invoked including nephrotic syndrome, liver disease, and heart failure. Determining the cause involves dusting off some principles of physics. Protein, namely albumin, hangs onto water to maintain intravascular osmotic pressure. Not having enough protein causes leakage into surrounding tissues to create characteristic puffiness, begging the question: are we losing protein or not making enough? If protein and osmosis are not the primary drivers, we must also consider capillary hydrostatic pressure as we see with the engorged vessels of heart disease or the retention of fluids with chronic kidney disease. This case investigates a toddler with an initial complaint of periorbital edema and abdominal distention to frame an approach to edema in pediatrics.

It is the final episode of our Challenging Cases in Emergency General Surgery series and we're diving into another dreaded topic: the complex abdominal wall. This structure is a daily partner to the general surgeon—but when things go wrong, it can quickly become our biggest challenge. In this episode, we'll walk through the emergency presentation of a patient with multiple prior hernia repairs and mesh placements, and how these complicate diagnosis and management. From imaging pearls to OR decision-making and post-op dilemmas, this episode covers it all.  We round things off with a fun game (as always!) and some hot takes on abdominal wall strategies in emergency general surgery. Whether you're an EGS surgeon, trainee, or surgical enthusiast, this episode is packed with practical insights, decision-making frameworks, and real-world nuance. Hosts: - Dr. Ashlie Nadler - Dr. Jordan Nantais - Dr. Graham Skelhorne-Gross Learning Objectives: - Identify key factors to assess in patients presenting with complex abdominal wall problems, including detailed surgical history, hernia characteristics, and signs of complications. - Discuss the role of imaging, particularly CT scans, in evaluating patients with ventral hernias and bowel obstruction, with a focus on identifying transition points and signs of strangulation. - Outline the surgical approach to incarcerated incisional ventral hernias, including pre-operative considerations, operative techniques, and management of threatened bowel. - Recognize the importance of patient-specific factors and interdisciplinary collaboration in the management of complex abdominal wall cases, including the role of pre-habilitation and hernia specialists.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:      Melissa: I am 43, 160lbs 5ft. 6 good amount of muscle. I eat completely clean as in grassfed fed, organic turkey, organic chicken occasionally brocolli, cauliflower, carrots, asparagus and arugula, pickles, saurkraut and kimchi and I only drink water. I do eat a good amount of protein 140ish grams a day. I just got bloodworm and my A1C was 5.6. All other markers were great just that one was high for me not dr. ...why when I don't eat sugar of any sorts! Just recently as in last few weeks started introducing some fruit back in such as apples, blueberries and strawberries but still so confused can you explain?                                                                                                                                                                                               Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral, I just completed a 7 day detox, love it. Today I started the Heavy Metal detox. Really excited about detoxing my body from toxic metals. I have high Aluminum and mercury and mineral ratios are off. Anyway, Thank you for your protocols. I'm in menopause and suffering from a couple of symptoms. No libido, no sleep, irritable, brain fog, dryness, I'm not the person i used to be in terms of happiness. I used to be happy for no reason, but since menopause I changed. I'm 51. Do you offer help for those symptoms? I want to be a lovely wife as i used to be. At this point I'm even considering taking Bio Identical hormones. Thank you in advance.                                                                                                    Drew: For almost 2 years I have had a pain behind my right eye. It started as a flare up after cutting grass one day. Most of the pain comes in the morning right before I get out of bed. It is a dull ache and sometimes leaves my eye crusty. I have seen two different eye doctors, my PCP, an ear nose and throat doctor, and a neuro ophthalmologist all of which can find nothing wrong. I have had a CT scan as well as an MRI which revealed nothing. Hoping you could shed some light on next steps that I need to take or where I need to look. Thank you so much for all that you do.     AA: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am hoping that you might have some insight. In Oct. I got extremely sick ( maybe covid) with horrible respiratory issues high fever etc. every month since my period has been 3 weeks late and as of one month I cannot eat without pain. The worst symptom is no sleep because of abdominal cramping and severe full body chills ( tingling) the tingling happens all day but is more apparent after ingesting food. I have taken stool tests/blood tests which seemed normal except for low b12 (300/ml) and went for a colonoscopy ( which resulted in the doc. saying I had some inflammation at the bottom end of my colon and it could be ulcerative colitis but didn't say with certainty. ) I am at a loss its been three weeks without caffeine, sugar, wheat, dairy and the symptoms persist.                                                                 Kay: Hello Dr. Cabral- I really appreciate your very informative podcasts! I am taking pregnenolone capsules at night recommended by my physician to help make some of the hormones that decline with age, and also to enhance cognitive function.. I have 2 questions: 1) Should I discontinue this prior to taking my at-home Equilife Stress, Mood and Metabolism test, and if so, by how many days? 2) Is taking this supplement going to make my body "lazy" and produce less of my natural pregnenolone? I've noticed that this helps me sleep better at night- I take this and a very low dose of naltrexone compounded by a compounding pharmacy. I am hoping that the SM&M test will give me clues to rebalancing my hormones naturally so I do not always need to rely on exogenous (and expensive) compounds.
