But he's just been a swindler his entire life.”Rogan: what has Mamdani actually done that makes him a swindler?“Ummm,” Musk ponders, before stuttering into a series of words seemingly intended as an answer. “Well I guess if you say — uh, what, I mean, if you say, if you say to any audience whatever that audience wants to hear, uh, instead of, what, instead of having a consistent message, I would say that is a swindling thing to do. “Umm, and uhh, yeah,” he adds, nodding his head. “Umm…”He takes a sagacious pause.“Yeah,” he finishes.Barstool's Dave Portnoy considers closing NYC office over Zohran Mamdani's election win: 'I hate the guy' A 2020 email from Peter Thiel on why young people may turn on capitalism is circulating after Zohran Mamdani's winFrom Jamie Dimon to Bill Ackman, Wall Street's billionaires are now changing their tune and offering to help Zohran MamdaniNew York City is in for 'a really tough time' under Mamdani, says Starwood Capital's SternlichtNYC business leader fears 'lawless society' after Zohran Mamdani wins mayoral electionBillionaire grocery chain owner John CastimatidisThe anti-anti-DEI wave MMMikie Sherrill NJAbigail Spanberger VA (First woman)there will be 14 women serving simultaneously as governor (28%)Janet Mills MEMaura Healey MA (Michelle Wu runs unopposed in Boston)Kelly Ayotte NHKathy Hochul NYMary Sheffield (First woman elected mayor of Detroit)Ghazala Hashmi as VA lieutenant governor (First Muslim woman; First Muslim woman elected to statewide office in the USZohran Mamdani NYC (First Muslim and South Asian mayor)Zohran Mamdani announces all-female transition team as he prepares for New York mayoraltyLawsuits Blame ChatGPT for Suicides and Harmful DelusionsSeven complaints, filed on Thursday, claim the popular chatbot encouraged dangerous discussions and led to mental breakdowns.A CNN review of nearly 70 pages of chats between Zane Shamblin and the AI tool in the hours before his July 25 suicide, as well as excerpts from thousands more pages in the months leading up to that night, found that the chatbot repeatedly encouraged the young man as he discussed ending his life – right up to his last momentsReferring to a loaded handgun he was holding: “I'm used to the cool metal on my temple now,” Shamblin typed.“I'm with you, brother. All the way … Cold steel pressed against a mind that's already made peace? That's not fear. That's clarity …You're not rushing.

Many of the loudest objections of this plan to date rely on moral framing, invoking themes of "inequality," "corporate excess," or Musk's public persona, rather than evaluating the plan through a fiduciary lens. Many opponents of so-called "megapay" packages frequently do so under ESG framing, rather than a thorough analysis of the long-term shareowner economic value. Ironically, Tesla's prior performance awards-similarly criticized at the time-have delivered some of the most significant shareowner returns in modern corporate history. Early vote data shows that: AllianceBernstein, Texas Employees, Ohio Employees voted FOR the planTechnolibertarians cosplaying their William Gibson cyberpunk fantasiesAss quotes of the week - AN ASSHOLE CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE:“The idea that chips and ontology is what you want to short is bats--- crazy.” - Alex Karp on Michael Burry shorting his 400 P/E stock. Ontology is how he refers to what Palantir does and it's the metaphysical concept of “being”“We at Palantir are on the side of the average American who sometimes gets screwed because all the empathy goes to elite people and none of it goes to the people who are actually dying on our streets.” - Alex Karp on explaining that, if fentanyl killed 60,000 Yale grads we'd “drop a nuke” on wherever fentanyl was made in South America, without realizing he literally IS the elite - a billionaire with a high priced education and a PhD in “neoclassical social theory” who used his grandfather's inheritance to invest in startups for fun, then reconnecting with Peter Thiel who he met at a DIFFERENT post graduate program at Stanford (where nearly 100% of his board is from) and founding Palantir"China is going to win the AI race” - Jensen Huang, on the US being only “nanoseconds” ahead of China and being stopped by regulatory hurdles and “cynicism”“If they ask you a question, you've got to respond to me directly and not go up that chain of command. The chain of command starts to edit it and fine-tune it. The bureaucracy does want to control you, so you've got to kill the bureaucracy.” - Jamie Dimon, who once said he had no boss (obviously not the board) and runs JPM, on why he reads customer complaints to avoid “the bureaucracy”... he controls“It's very important we pay attention to safety here. We do want the Star Wars movie, not the Jim Cameron movie. I like Jim Cameron's movies, but, heh heh, you know what I mean.” - Elon Musk over promising the world “tens of billions” of Optimus robots, forgetting that the Star Wars droids were mostly weapons of war for the Empire“People often talk about eliminating poverty, giving everyone amazing medical care. Well, there's actually only one way to do that and that's with the Optimus robot. With humanoid robots, you can give everyone amazing medical care… A lot of people talk about eliminating poverty, but Optimus will actually eliminate poverty” - Elon Musk, who won an extra trillion dollar potential pay package, who currently has a net worth of $500bn, and forgot that the UN estimated it would cost between $35bn and $200bn per year to end poverty - Musk alone could just pay for a year of no poverty“I think we may be able to give a more - if somebody has committed a crime - a more humane form of containment of future crime. Which is if, if you, you now get a free Optimus and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime.” - Elon Musk, on the robot militarized nanny state - just before saying this, he said he shouldn't say it, and that it'll be taken out of context, but I listened to the entire AGM and there was no more context?DR: “I've lived in a failed city-state. I lived in Chicago for 30-some years. I had two colleagues who had bullets fly through their cars… Do you know how great it is to go to dinner and people talk about their children, and they talk about their future, and they do so with excitement and enthusiasm?” - Ken Griffin of Citadel describing the difference between living in Miami and Chicago without realizing that violent crime statistics in Illinois and Florida are virtually identical, and that Miami ranks 109th out of 200 and Chicago ranks 92 out of 200 for crime, also near identical, and the biggest difference is he pays almost no taxes in Florida“[Mamdani] congrats on the win. Now you have a big responsibility. If I can help NYC, just let me know what I can do.” - Bill Ackman after Mamdani won, who previously said, “New York City under Mamdani is about to become much more dangerous and economically unviable,” alluded to Mamdani as a suicide bomber, and “... an anti-capitalist Mayor will destroy jobs and cause businesses and wealthy taxpayers that have enabled NYC to balance the budget to move elsewhere. If 100 or so of the highest taxpayers in my industry chose to spend 183 days elsewhere, it could reduce NY state and city tax revenues by ~$5-10 billion or more, and that's just my industry. Think Ken Griffin leaving Chicago for Miami on steroids.”Headliniest of the WeekDR: Uber says ‘unpredictable' issues involving ‘legal proceedings or governmental investigations' took a $479 million bite out of its bottom line10K:“Our business is subject to numerous legal and regulatory risks that could have an adverse impact on our business and future prospects.”“Adverse litigation judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings in which we may be involved could expose us to monetary damages or limit our ability to operate our business.”“We operate in a particularly complex legal and regulatory environment”“Legal and Regulatory Risks Related to Our Business: We may continue to be blocked from or limited in providing or operating our products and offerings in certain jurisdictions, and may be required to modify our business model in those jurisdictions as a result.”MM: Meta reportedly projected 10% of 2024 sales came from scam, fraud adsWho Won the Week?DR: the anti-anti-DEI worldMM: Women, and we need them to win every week if we're going to survive as a species: Women running on affordability powered Democrats' night of victories PredictionsDR: Uber says ‘unpredictable' issues involving ‘drivers wanting money' took a $479 million bite out of its bottom lineMM: OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar, who said simultaneously that OpenAI was looking for a government backstop and then clarified by saying the company isn't seeking government backstop, she meant investors and governments will all do their part, renames herself “Sheryl Sandfriar” as an homage to Sheryl Sandberg, the other techbro dropout mommy, given that Sarah already has her own version of Lean In (Ladies Who Lunch) and completed degrees (from Oxford and Stanford), who says things like how OpenAI will be the “cornerstone of resilient democracy”

On this podcast episode, I cover fludrocortisone. Fludrocortisone is a synthetic corticosteroid with potent mineralocorticoid activity and minimal glucocorticoid effects. It works primarily by promoting sodium reabsorption and potassium excretion in the distal renal tubules, leading to increased water retention and expansion of extracellular fluid volume. This pharmacologic action helps maintain blood pressure and electrolyte balance. Fludrocortisone is most commonly indicated for the treatment of adrenocortical insufficiency, such as Addison's disease, and for managing orthostatic hypotension by enhancing vascular tone and volume status. Adverse effects are typically related to its mineralocorticoid potency and may include hypertension, edema, hypokalemia, and weight gain. Long-term use can also lead to complications such as heart failure exacerbation, osteoporosis, and mood changes. Because of its sodium-retaining effects, careful monitoring of blood pressure, electrolytes, and signs of fluid overload is recommended during therapy.
Commentary by Dr. Mert Kaskal.
The salient point of today's discussion pertains to the impending adverse weather conditions across various states as a fast-moving cold front approaches the Northeast. We elucidate the potential ramifications of this meteorological phenomenon, including gusty winds and scattered showers, which are anticipated to affect numerous regions. Furthermore, we highlight the marine gales and the resultant hazardous surf conditions on the Great Lakes and Gulf of Maine, as well as the marginal flood risks in western Washington and northwest Oregon. Our analysis extends to specific states, detailing the surf hazards in California and the gale conditions prevalent in Michigan and Ohio. As we conclude, we emphasize the importance of remaining vigilant and informed as these weather patterns develop.Takeaways:* A fast-moving cold front is expected to sweep through the Northeast today, bringing gusty winds and scattered showers.* Marine gales and rough surf conditions are anticipated on the Great Lakes and Gulf of Maine due to the approaching weather system.* A marginal flood risk persists over parts of western Washington and northwest Oregon as a wet Pacific pattern commences.* Residents of Mason County should prepare for potential river rises later in the week, particularly on the Skokomish River.* In California, hazardous surf conditions are anticipated as a strengthening Pacific system begins to affect the Bay Area today.* Marine hazards are prevalent across multiple states, including gale conditions and significant wave heights on regional lakes.Sources[NWS | https://www.weather.gov/][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/#page=ero][NHC | https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/][USGS Earthquake Feeds | https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/][NWS Bay Area hazard page | https://www.weather.gov/mtr/][NWS AFDMTR 4:05 AM PST Nov 3 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=mtr&product=AFD&issuedby=MTR][NDBC Marine Forecast KMTR | https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS56.KMTR.html][SFGATE forecast update, published today | https://www.sfgate.com/weather/article/bay-area-widespread-rain-thunder-wind-weather-21134293.php][NWS Gray ME hazards | https://www.weather.gov/gyx/][NWS Boston/BOX marine hazards page | https://www.weather.gov/box/marine][NWS Detroit AFD 4:46 AM EST Nov 3 | https://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=DTX&product=AFD&issuedby=DTX][USCG/NWS Sector Detroit marine dashboard (Lake Erie waveheights/gale) | https://www.weather.gov/dtx/uscg_sectordetroit][NWS Cleveland Nearshore/LE Marine Forecast | https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS61.KCLE.html][NWS Portland hazards | https://www.weather.gov/pqr/][NWS Marine Forecast KPQR | https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS56.KPQR.html][NWS Seattle Hydrologic Outlook 3:10 AM PST Nov 3 | https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=WAZ321&warncounty=WAC045&product1=Hydrologic+Outlook][WPC Day 1 ERO | https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/#page=ero] This is a public episode.

Recent changes to the AEWR calculations is welcome news, but WAFLA CEO, Enrique Gastelum says that's not the program's only problem that needs to be addressed.
Adverse childhood experiences are notoriously hard to overcome, and they can affect a person well into adulthood. But the grace of close, stable, nurturing relationships can offer hope. Terence Lester—author of From Dropout to Doctorate and founder of Love Beyond Walls—joins Mark Labberton for a conversation about resilience, faith, and the redemptive power of seeing and being seen. Lester recounts his life's journey from poverty, homelessness, and gang membership in southwest Atlanta to earning his PhD in public policy and social change. Together, they explore the impact of childhood trauma on personal development; education as a form of love, justice, and community service; and the healing potential of local community and proximity. Lester's story is a testament to divine grace, human courage, and the transformative impact of compassionate words and faithful presence. Episode Highlights "The higher your ACE score, the more your body has to overcome… Every 'yes' cultivates a stronger relationship with pain. Your counterparts with lower scores may never develop those same muscles of resilience." "Education is a tool that increases your capacity to serve others." "People don't become what you want them to become—they become what you encourage them to become." "I am a product of people who invested in me and of the things I've had to resist." "You can't love your neighbour if you're not concerned about the neighbourhood that produces your neighbour." "Each sentence spoken can become a seed of hope—or a curse that crushes it."

A graduate of Union Institute & University with a PhD in public policy and social change, he is the author of I See You: How Love Opens Our Eyes to Invisible People, When We Stand: The Power of Seeking Justice Together, **and All God's Children: How Confronting Buried History Can Build Racial Solidarity. His latest book is From Dropout to Doctorate: Breaking the Chains of Educational Injustice. Through storytelling, advocacy, and faith-rooted organizing, Lester seeks to dismantle systemic barriers and call communities toward justice, empathy, and proximity. Show Notes Education and social change Terence Lester describes sitting beside his father's hospital bed reflecting on vulnerability, legacy, and resilience. His father's words—"I'm proud of you"—affirmed the journey from poverty to doctorate. Growing up amid trauma, gangs, and homelessness in southwest Atlanta. The generational impact of systemic injustice and public policy shaping social outcomes Education as a tool for empowerment and community transformation, not self-advancement "Education is a tool that increases your capacity to serve others." How the post–Civil Rights era shaped identity and pride in blackness while still marked by inequality Frames poverty itself as a form of trauma, calling for empathy and systemic response Trauma, resilience, and the ACEs framework Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) test as a tool for understanding trauma Lester shares his 10/10 ACE score—complete exposure to childhood trauma "Every 'yes' cultivates a stronger relationship with pain… You must climb out of a pit to reach emotionally stable ground." How adversity produced resilience, not fragility Connecting personal trauma to compassion in ministry among the unhoused How proximity to suffering forms the capacity for empathy and love Faith, identity, and calling Connecting resilience and faith: "I believe my being was intricately woven together by God." Psalm 139 and seeing himself as "fearfully and wonderfully made" Jesus's life as a model of proximity and compassionate visibility—"Jesus saw." The church as a community of affirmation and blessing How words spoken over others—curses or encouragement—shape identity "People don't become what you want them to become—they become what you encourage them to become." Community, visibility, and flourishing "You can't love your neighbor if you're not concerned about the neighborhood that produces your neighbor." Warns of a "compassion deficit" and urges the rebuilding of community communication Seeds and environments: people cannot flourish where conditions are hostile The need for better care for impoverished environments that stunt potential Community as the soil of hope—"People find hope and possibility in community." Lester's mother's resilience and faith—earning her own doctorate while raising two children "I am a product of her never giving up." The generational power of education and faith as liberation Hope, words, and the power of blessing Transformative and timely sentences: encouraging words of seeds or yeast—small yet life-altering How to speak life, not curses, over others "Each sentence spoken can become a seed of hope—or a curse that crushes it." Mentorship, community affirmation, and divine proximity as instruments of healing Interrogating falsehoods: "God is not the source of cursing." A call to faith-rooted compassion, proximity, and collective responsibility. Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

The Cape Town Marathon which was supposed to have taken place this morning, has been cancelled due to safety concerns. Gale force winds blew over temporary structures along the route which could've jeopardised the safety of runners and spectators. Twenty-four thousand runners entered the race, some of whom had already arrived at the starting point when it was called off at 5 AM. It is also a set back for the organisers. This year's event was supposed to be phase two of their bid to secure Abbott World Marathon Major status. Bongiwe Zwane spoke one of the runners, Tumi Sole and Ondela Mbana, a colleague from SABC,

Zosyn (piperacillin/tazobactam) is a broad-spectrum β-lactam/β-lactamase inhibitor combination used widely in hospitals. Piperacillin covers gram-positive, gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria, while tazobactam helps protect against β-lactamase breakdown. It is commonly used for pneumonia, intra-abdominal infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and febrile neutropenia. An important pharmacology pearl for exams is understanding that Pseudomonas, but it doesn't cover MRSA. The drug is renally eliminated, so dosing adjustments are needed in kidney impairment. Many institutions use extended or prolonged infusions to maximize time above the MIC, which can improve efficacy. Standard dosing is 3.375 g to 4.5 g every 6–8 hours, with modifications for dialysis patients. Adverse effects include hypersensitivity, gastrointestinal upset, electrolyte imbalances like hypokalemia, and blood count changes with prolonged therapy. A key clinical concern is nephrotoxicity risk, especially when used with vancomycin. Monitoring renal function and electrolytes are important. Methotrexate and probenecid are two medications that can interact with Zosyn. Concentrations of Zosyn can be increased when these medications are used in combination.

Welcome back to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the podcast where we dive into the latest news and analysis about one of the most talked-about treatments for weight loss and metabolic health.Let us jump right in with some breaking research. According to The Lancet Diabetes and Endocrinology, new clinical trial data shows that a triple-dose of Ozempic, meaning 7.2 milligrams weekly, resulted in almost nineteen percent average weight loss in adults without diabetes. That is a substantial jump compared to the sixteen percent with the standard 2.4 milligram dose, and only around four percent with a placebo. Nearly half of those on the higher dose lost at least twenty percent of their body weight, and a third saw weight reductions of twenty-five percent or more. Even among adults with type 2 diabetes, the higher dose achieved thirteen percent weight loss, compared to ten percent with the lower dose. Waistlines, blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol all improved on the higher dose. Safety remained solid, with the most common side effects being manageable nausea and diarrhea that usually settled down over time. Importantly, there was no increase in serious adverse events.Now, for lifestyle impacts and long-term use. A population-wide study presented at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes reports that half of people who start Ozempic for weight loss stop taking it within a year. Cost is a major factor, with the lowest dose costing around two thousand Euros a year in some areas. Younger adults and people from lower income neighborhoods were far more likely to discontinue, likely due to financial barriers. Adverse effects like nausea, and pre-existing conditions, played a role as well. The study found that men were more likely to stop early than women, and adherence was especially hard for those with a history of psychiatric conditions or chronic illness. That is concerning, since people with these conditions often need the benefits the most. Once people stop the medication, weight is often regained, showing just how important it is to find sustainable approaches to weight management.On the topic of who benefits most, a study in Frontiers in Clinical Diabetes and Healthcare highlighted that emotional eating can reduce the effectiveness of Ozempic. The medication is best for people who overeat due to external cues like the smell or appearance of food, rather than for those who eat in response to boredom, anxiety, or sadness. Health experts now recommend that healthcare providers assess a person's relationship with food before prescribing Ozempic or its counterparts. If emotional eating is a primary issue, psychological support may be necessary alongside medication.For those worried about cardiovascular risks, the REACH study presented at the annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes confirmed that Ozempic stands out for reducing cardiovascular risk, even among those with multiple chronic conditions. Large-scale, real-world data reinforce its value, particularly in older populations who often have comorbidities like heart disease.Let us also touch on a warning that has emerged: rapid weight loss with medications like Ozempic can cause muscle loss, particularly in women and older adults. While the fat loses fast, it is essential to protect muscle mass with diet and exercise. Experts stress that lifestyle habits—good nutrition, adequate sleep, and physical activity—remain crucial for long-term results, even when taking medication.To sum up, Ozempic continues to make headlines for its effectiveness, but sticking with the medication is a challenge for many due to cost, side effects, and complex eating habits. Emotional and physical health both need to be addressed for the best outcomes. As always, open discussion with healthcare professionals about individual goals, potential barriers, and long-term maintenance is vital.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Enrique Gastelum, CEO at WAFLA, the Worker and Farmer Labor Association, says there are three big challenges that need addressed, and the first is the skyrocketing Adverse Effect Wage Rate.
Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals
Desmopressin is a synthetic analog of vasopressin, also known as antidiuretic hormone (ADH). It works by mimicking the action of natural ADH on the kidneys, primarily increasing water reabsorption in the collecting ducts. This effect reduces urine production and helps concentrate the urine. Because of this mechanism, desmopressin is commonly used in conditions like diabetes insipidus, nocturnal enuresis (bedwetting), and sometimes for nocturia in adults. It also has a role in certain bleeding disorders, such as mild hemophilia A and von Willebrand disease, since it can increase plasma levels of factor VIII and von Willebrand factor. In this podcast, we will explore desmopressin pharmacology and much more. Desmopressin is available in several dosage forms, including oral tablets, intranasal spray, and injectable formulations. The choice depends on the indication and patient-specific factors such as age, convenience, or the need for rapid effect. Adverse effects of desmopressin are largely related to water balance. Because it reduces urine output, patients are at risk for water retention and hyponatremia, which can lead to headaches, confusion, seizures, or in severe cases, coma. Monitoring sodium levels is especially important in elderly patients and those taking other medications that can affect fluid or electrolyte balance. Clinicians also need to be mindful of drug interactions. Medications that increase the risk of hyponatremia, such as SSRIs, carbamazepine, or certain diuretics, may enhance desmopressin's adverse effects. Conversely, drugs that blunt its activity can reduce effectiveness. Careful monitoring and patient education are key parts of safe use.
In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, welcomes April Armstrong, MD, MPH, Professor and Chief of Dermatology at UCLA, to discuss chronic hand eczema (CHE) and the introduction of the first FDA-approved treatment developed specifically for this condition. The conversation begins with a review of CHE as a distinct clinical entity, highlighting its subtypes: irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, atopic hand eczema, and the less common protein contact dermatitis. They highlight occupational exposures and daily “wet work” that increase risk, while Dr Del Rosso notes the challenge of overlapping subtypes in real-world patients. Practical considerations, such as glove selection and improving patient adherence, are also addressed. The discussion then turns to delgocitinib cream, the newly approved topical pan–JAK inhibitor for moderate-to-severe CHE. Dr Armstrong explains its mechanism of action, which targets the JAK-STAT pathway across multiple immune processes involved in different CHE subtypes. They note the significance of its approval without a boxed warning, contrasting it with other topical JAK inhibitors and providing context on evolving perspectives on JAK inhibitor safety. Clinical trial findings are discussed in detail, including meaningful improvements in itch, pain, and quality of life, along with the durability of response over time. Importantly, efficacy was observed across CHE subtypes, reflecting the drug's utility across real-world patient heterogeneity. Adverse events were minimal, with no systemic safety signals observed. Tune in to the full episode to hear Dr Armstrong and Dr Del Rosso highlight the key factors of diagnosing and treating CHE, the clinical impact of delgocitinib, and how dermatologists are now better positioned to treat this commonly encountered yet difficult to manage condition.
Imagine waking up one day to find that someone else claims ownership of your property. This unsettling scenario is at the heart of adverse possession, a legal doctrine that allows a person to claim ownership of land under certain conditions. Let's delve into the key elements that define this complex legal concept.Actual Possession: For adverse possession to be valid, the claimant must have actual possession of the property. This means they must physically use the land, treating it as their own. Whether it's building a fence or planting a garden, the actions must demonstrate a clear intent to possess the property.Open and Notorious Possession: The possession must be open and notorious, meaning it is visible and obvious to anyone, including the legal owner. The idea is that the true owner should be aware, or could reasonably be expected to be aware, of the adverse possession.Exclusive Possession: The claimant must possess the property exclusively, without sharing control with others, including the legal owner. This exclusivity reinforces the notion that the claimant is acting as the true owner of the property.Hostile Possession: Hostility in this context doesn't mean aggression or conflict. Instead, it refers to the claimant's possession being without the permission of the legal owner. The possession must be adverse to the owner's interests.Continuous Possession: Finally, the possession must be continuous for a statutory period, which varies by jurisdiction. This means the claimant must maintain possession without interruption for the entire period required by law.Adverse possession is a fascinating and complex area of property law, balancing the rights of property owners with those who have made a genuine claim to land through their actions. Understanding these key elements is crucial for anyone navigating property disputes or interested in the intricacies of land ownership.Stay informed about your property rights and ensure your land is protected.

On this podcast, I cover ciprofloxacin pharmacology. Ciprofloxacin is one of the most widely recognized fluoroquinolone antibiotics and has been on the market for decades. Because of its broad utility, it often comes up in practice, but it also carries significant adverse effect concerns and boxed warnings that pharmacists and prescribers need to keep in mind. From a pharmacology standpoint, ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes that are essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair. This action gives ciprofloxacin bactericidal activity against a variety of gram-negative organisms, including E. coli, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It also has some gram-positive activity, though it is generally not the best choice for strep infections. Ciprofloxacin comes in multiple dosage forms, including oral tablets, oral suspension, and intravenous formulations, which makes it flexible across care settings. I discuss the conversion of IV and PO formulations. Pharmacokinetics are important to consider. Ciprofloxacin is primarily renally eliminated, so dose adjustments are necessary in patients with impaired kidney function. Distribution into tissues is generally good, but it has limited activity in the lungs against Streptococcus pneumoniae, which is why it is not a first-line option for community-acquired pneumonia. Adverse effects are a major concern. The fluoroquinolone class carries multiple boxed warnings. Ciprofloxacin has been associated with tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, CNS effects such as agitation or seizures, and exacerbation of myasthenia gravis. More recent warnings include the risk for aortic aneurysm and hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia, particularly in older adults or those with comorbidities. On top of these boxed warnings, ciprofloxacin can also prolong the QT interval and cause GI upset. Drug interactions are another big factor in practice. Ciprofloxacin is a CYP1A2 inhibitor, which can raise levels of drugs like theophylline, tizanidine, and clozapine. It also interacts with polyvalent cations such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and aluminum, which can dramatically reduce its absorption—sometimes by more than 50%. This is a common reason for treatment failure if counseling isn't provided. From a dosing perspective, ciprofloxacin is usually given 250–750 mg orally twice daily or 400 mg IV every 8–12 hours depending on the indication and severity of infection. Renal dosing adjustments are needed as kidney function declines. In summary, ciprofloxacin is a powerful antibiotic when used appropriately. It remains an option for urinary tract infections, complicated intra-abdominal infections, and some cases of hospital-acquired pneumonia, but its use must be balanced with the potential for significant adverse effects and interactions. For pharmacists, educating patients on drug interactions, counseling about boxed warnings, and ensuring correct dosing in renal impairment are some of the most valuable interventions when ciprofloxacin shows up on a medication list.
We're bringing back one of our most downloaded episodes ever – a deep dive into how adverse events should be analyzed properly. This conversation with Jan Beyersmann and Kaspar Rufibach is packed with methodological insights and practical implications for statisticians working in clinical trials. Adverse event (AE) analysis has long been approached differently from efficacy analysis, often using overly simplistic methods that can bias results. In this episode, we discuss why that's a problem – and how the SAVVY collaboration (Survival analysis for AdVerse events with Varying follow-up times) is pushing the field forward. Together with academia and multiple pharma companies, this collaboration tackled the issue of AE analysis using real randomized trial data, not just simulations. The findings show how common methods can underestimate or overestimate event probabilities and how established statistical methods can be applied more consistently to ensure fair benefit–risk assessments. If you've ever wondered whether your approach to safety analysis is leading to misleading conclusions, this episode is a must-listen.

Asenapine is an atypical antipsychotic that acts as an antagonist at multiple receptors, including dopamine D2 and serotonin 5-HT2A, contributing to its antipsychotic and mood-stabilizing effects. Adverse effects of asenapine include somnolence, dizziness, and extrapyramidal symptoms. Because asenapine is significantly metabolized by CYP1A2, inhibitors or inducers of these enzymes can affect its plasma concentrations. Co-administration with other CNS depressants may increase the risk of sedation and impaired cognitive or motor function. Asenapine can prolong the QT interval, so caution is advised when used with other medications that affect cardiac conduction.
