In the episode, Dr. Sadis Matalon (University of Alabama Birmingham) interviews Dr. Catherine Dulac (Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Center for Brain Science, Harvard University) about the new Review in Physiological Reviews by Kaplan et al., which explores the neural basis of the complex social behavior of parenting. Parenting behavior is absolutely essential for the development of human beings and animal species. All humans and animals will experience the impact of parenting behavior on their lives, and parenting behavior is far more complex than simply the care of others. Parenting behavior is a unique physiological state that affects infant-to-adult interactions and adult-to-adult interactions, as well as a wide range of physiological changes related to food intake, sleep, and mood. We discuss essential questions related to the prevalence of postpartum depression disorder, genetic and environmental factors affecting the control of parenting behavior, and whether parenting behavior can improve over time with experience.

In the episode, Dr. Carol Ann Remme (University of Amsterdam) and Dr. Sadis Matalon (University of Alabama Birmingham) interview Dr. Jenny Van Eyk (Cedars-Sinai) about the Review in Physiological Reviews by Karpov et al. that dives into proteomics of the heart. Given that proteins are the building blocks of life, studying only genetic data or RNAseq data may offer researchers a somewhat narrow view. Proteomics looks broader, and broader is better, according to Dr. Van Eyk. However, this means that rigor at the proteomic technology level is critically important. Because the field of proteomics offers many different tools, using proteomics to study the heart necessitates matching the research question to the right tool. Dr. Van Eyk encourages researchers to develop a well-defined research question and then match it to the proteomics technology that is most appropriate, so that the output is as useful as possible. Pushing research to new frontiers allows researchers to find discoveries they never expected. Listen now and learn more.   Oleg A.

Ben Meadows, an economist and professor at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, delivers an engaging presentation centered on the value of Louisiana redfish. Using his personal experiences with redfish and fishing trips with his grandfather, he explores the economic and non-economic values of redfish. Meadows highlights that many people tend to assess the value of redfish solely by its market price, such as the cost of a filet. However, he argues that this approach overlooks the broader value derived from the fishing experience, including the joy of being on the water, the thrill of the catch, and the environmental value of having more fish in the ecosystem. Meadows continues by explaining how traditional fisheries economics focus on maximizing revenue from fish harvests, but this mindset misses the recreational and environmental importance of fish populations. He suggests that species like largemouth bass have already made the transition from being valued for their market worth to being more valuable alive and in the water. He asserts that redfish are similarly valuable when left in the water rather than caught and filleted. By quantifying the economic impact of recreational fishing and travel, Meadows estimates the Louisiana redfish's value to be around $100 per fish annually at a LOW end. Ben concludes by emphasizing that promoting the conservation of redfish, rather than prioritizing their harvest, can create a virtuous cycle of economic and environmental benefits.

Buckle up, because this podcast is going to take you for a ride. The influx of Haitian migrants in Alabama has been the lead story on 1819 News for over a month now. Haitian immigrants started popping up in Albertville and Athens, then in Enterprise and Sylacauga. Springfield, Missouri is getting all the national headlines but it's happening right here in Alabama. Many of the city and county leaders, as well as the media outlets, have resorted to calling the citizens racist rather than trying to deal with the situation head on, and have shut down their opportunity to speak at city council meetings. This week, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall sits down with Bryan for their quarterly update and they tackle the immigration conversation. How are these people getting here? What can be done? Are they actually legal? The crime in Montgomery reached a fever pitch over the summer, but things seem to be getting better and AG Marshall talks about what his team has done to reduce the murder and violent crime rate in the capital city. They also discuss the anti-constitutional rhetoric that pours out of Kamala every time she makes unscripted comments like her recent one where she stated citizens have a right to bear arms but the government has a right to come into your house and make sure the weapons are being used responsibly. Yikes. University of Alabama Birmingham was recently in the news. They are not only bragging about being one of the most LGBTQ friendly universities in the nation and promoting the fact that they use DEI to pick doctors and med students instead of making those decisions based on merit. They were recently exposed for taking a six figure tax payer funded grant to study vaginal health in transgender men. I'm sure the UAB donors and alumni are really excited about the direction of the University. - OVERTIME: LOCAL Alabama, Mom's for Liberty, and ADF have been putting on several Town Halls all over the state featuring AG Marshal and Rep Susan DuBose. The purpose of these Town Halls is to inform the public of how bad the Title IX changes really are and that has caused floods of protestors to show up to the meetings. Marshall fills us in on how those have gone and some of the feedback they've received is that the meetings are actually life changing.

In 2023, the opioid crisis claimed over 81,000 lives -- a staggering number, yet many of these deaths could have been prevented. While prescription opioids can be essential for managing pain, they come with significant risks that are often overlooked. In this episode, we dive deep into the hidden dangers of opioid prescriptions and explore the crucial questions you should ask before accepting these medications. Ellen Eaton, MD, a leading expert in opioid treatment from the University of Alabama Birmingham, joins us to discuss the real risks of misuse, the warning signs to watch for, and the steps you can take to protect yourself and your loved ones. From understanding the potential side effects, to navigating the road to recovery, this conversation sheds light on the opioid epidemic and the urgent need for prevention and education. UAB Medicine Addiction Recovery Services Transcript Neha Pathak, MD, FACP, DipABLM: Welcome to the WebMD Health Discovered Podcast. I'm Dr Neha Pathak, WebMD's, Chief Physician Editor for Health and Lifestyle Medicine. Many of us have talked to our children and loved ones about how to respond if they're offered an opioid or some other unknown substance, even if it's candy at a party, fearing the dangers of opioids and overdose. But how many of us think about the risks in these situations? Our child is injured playing sports and we're given a 14-day prescription for an opioid containing medication. We're at the dentist's office and we're given a prescription for an opioid for a short course after a procedure. New data shows that there were over 81,000 opioid deaths in 2023. So, what can we do to keep our loved ones safe? Today we'll talk about the best strategies to prevent opioid misuse and abuse in the first place. Even if it starts with a prescription from our doctor's office. The journey to addiction and to recovery and what we need to know about preventing opioid deaths.   But first, let me introduce my guest, Dr Ellen Eaton. Dr Eaton is an associate professor at the Department of Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. She's the director of the office based opioid treatment clinic at the UAB 1917 clinic, and a member of the leadership team of the UAB Center for Addiction and Pain Prevention and Intervention. Welcome to the WebMD Health Discovered podcast, Dr Eaton. Ellen Eaton, MD: Thank you so much for having me. Pathak: I'd love to just start by asking you about your own personal health discovery. So, what was your aha moment that led you to the work that you're doing with opioid treatment, management, and addiction and pain prevention interventions? Eaton: Yeah, I have an interesting story as an infectious diseases physician who is primarily working on substance use treatment and prevention. I had the honor of being a fellow with the National Academy of Medicine, really a health policy fellowship. And as an infectious disease physician, I was invited to a working group around infectious consequences of the opioid epidemic. And that was in 2017. It was a tremendous opportunity to go to D.C. and work with thought leaders in the field, other physician scientists, infectious diseases doctors, and those experiences and treatment models that I was hearing about in D.C. were not happening in my home institution at UAB. There were addiction medicine physicians, but we hadn't integrated care. We were not doing syndemic care where you're treating the infection, preventing Hep C, and you're treating their substance use disorder. So that opportunity in 2017 inspired me to come home to UAB, create a clinic here that is for our patients living with HIV who have opioid use disorder, and from there, we've really expanded services broadly for substance use and infectious diseases. So really grateful for the National Academy and that opportunity. That really was a launch pad for my career. Pathak: I would love to talk about what you've seen as the entry point for a lot of people when it comes to opioids and that progression to addiction, potentially overdose. What does that look like for many of the people that you see? Eaton: Because of the care I provide, I am seeing patients who are living with substance use disorder, but I always start when I meet them with really open-ended questions like tell me about your first exposure to opioids. Tell me when you began using them for medical reasons or recreationally. And what I hear over and over again is that many of our patients are starting to experiment or use from a prescriber for a medical condition in their teens or early twenties. And that is often a trusted medical provider. It may be an urgent care physician for a musculoskeletal injury, for a teenager on the athletic field who was injured. It may be a woman who just delivered a baby, a very healthy, common touch point, where there may have been a tear or maybe some residual pain.   Another common touch point is a dentist treating you for a dental infection. And so, I hear these types of anecdotes over and over from my patients, and often it is a trusted physician, so they don't feel like this is a scary medication. They may be given a 14-day supply of opioids, not realizing that can lead to physical dependency and opioid misuse in the future. And often don't ask questions about what to look for, warning signs, and certainly as young people, I haven't ever heard that their caregiver expressed concerns. I think more often the patient has a prolonged course seeking opioids for various conditions, becomes dependent, is seeking them more and more, and often caregivers or family members don't get involved until they are pretty far down the continuum of opioid use disorder. So, those are the stories I hear when I meet patients and ask about their journey. Pathak: What are some of the questions we should ask before we even accept that prescription? Eaton: This is a really important question at that prevention touch point, that we often miss. I think asking your provider do you really need oxycodone. Could you start with something like an NSAID or a Tylenol. Asking your provider to be very explicit. When my pain hits a seven out of 10, when my pain hits an eight or nine out of 10, when do I need to take this opioid as opposed to some other opioids sparing pain modulators? And then number of days. So not just at what point today, but also tomorrow, the next day, what pain should I expect, and I think setting the expectation you will have some pain. This is a challenge that many of us that see patients in a primary care setting have to remind patients, you will have some pain. That is normal. That is healthy. That means your nerves are telling you they're giving you feedback on what's going on after your leg fracture. And I think unfortunately opioids have been normalized as safe, in many cases they can be, but in many cases they are not.   I also see amongst families where an individual will tell me, “Oh, well, I got a Tramadol from grandma, or I had some opioids leftover from that time that I had a surgery and so I took that for some other condition,” comparing them to medications like chemotherapy, which also have risks. You would never hear a patient self-medicating, sharing with friends and loved ones. But I think because opioids became so ubiquitous, in past decades, entire families, kind of normalize them. They feel comfortable sharing them, taking others. And that type of culture leads to a culture where young people feel comfortable experimenting. They take pills at parties, they take pills from friends and, they purchase them off social media, like TikTok for example, because they do not appreciate the adverse outcomes that can be associated with these types of medications. Pathak: So, tell us about this slippery slope. What is it that happens to us when we take these medications unnecessarily? Eaton: Often one of the biggest teaching points that I make with trainees in my clinic, when is someone experimenting and when does it become a use disorder? And in my clinic, it's usually pretty clear and that includes negative consequences. So, taking opioids and falling asleep, nodding out, overdosing, right? Those patients have gone from opioid misuse to use disorder. So having negative consequences, becoming physically dependent. We do see that needing to take more and more to prevent withdrawals, which with opioids, unlike some other substances, you can pretty quickly become physically dependent. And then you need to continue to opioids just to not feel sick, to not have the flu-like symptoms. So, becoming physically dependent, having to take more and more, increasing your dose to get the same desired effect. Those are the things that I see most commonly in clinic. With opioids and certainly the very potent non-medical opioids we're seeing now, heroin, fentanyl, we don't see people who just dabble here and there at a party, at a wedding.   Now the other substances that I see pretty routinely used in my clinic with or without opioid use disorder, stimulant use disorder, marijuana use disorder. Alcohol use. I do have to ask more questions and certainly there are validated screening tools out there that physicians and clinicians can use to determine very objectively. Did they just drink too much at that wedding two months ago and it was a problem because they got in a fight or had a DUI? Or is this a pattern of use that meets criteria for alcohol use disorder?   So, it is important to ask those questions and know, but I would say really the negative consequences, the physical dependency, escalating use, those are things to look for in your patients. As a caregiver or a parent, those are things to look for as well because we are really in a position to identify these before our loved ones have escalated their use. Pathak: And then what do you do? So, you notice some of these types of red flags. What is the intervention that you should make as a parent or a loved one or a caregiver? Eaton: I think starting with a primary care provider is always the best step. And most of us do use these objective screening tools. There are several you can find. My clinic uses an assist. These are validated tools that have been tested on many patients, not physicians, not PhD scientists, that have been tested on patients to make sure that they are asking the right questions to get to the true use behaviors and patterns. And I would go from there with your primary care provider.   I think if you as a parent or loved one are even asking yourself, is it time to go? It's time to go. I think too many of us wait until there are very obvious motor vehicle accidents, overdoses. And I think most parents that I encounter in a clinical setting knew there were issues much longer before they sought help.   And this gets to your question around stigma, shame that a lot of families do not want associated with their loved one or their family. And so, they wait until there are really negative consequences. Ideally, we'd be intervening much sooner. Pathak: I'd love to talk a little bit and dig into what you just said about stigma and shame and some of the words we use when we talk about having a problem, quote unquote, with opioids, or becoming addicted or physically dependent. In that recovery phase, oftentimes we'll talk about someone becoming sober or sobriety from some of these medications. Can you talk a little bit about the terms that you use and what best helps uplift your patients? Eaton: This is a really nuanced area, and it does take some retraining of us as clinicians who have been in practice for a while. When I went through medical school, you were either 100 percent abstinent or not. We weren't taught that there was this whole middle ground of harm reduction, and I think as physicians, once we get some additional education on this, we realize that our words really matter. We can be much more supportive of our patients because this is a journey and much like diabetes or hypertension, your patient may have chapters where they aren't in care. Their chronic disease, substance use to chronic disease, is unmanaged.   But unlike diabetes or hypertension, where we just counsel them and support them and bring them in maybe more frequently to check in, have them bring their spouse to help with the pill bottles and set their phone alarms so they don't forget. Unlike those medical conditions, this chronic brain disease of substance use, we treat patients unintentionally as if they have failed. They have failed our clinics. They have failed the treatment. We treat them with judgment and shame. And there are a lot of complex routes for that that I am not an expert in. But what I tell my colleagues and my trainees is that we need to know and our patients need to know that they have not failed us. They are not a failure. They are living with a chronic disease, just like diabetes or hypertension. And just like diabetes or hypertension, if they fall out of care, if they stop taking their medications, we allow them to come back when they're ready to reengage. Just like my patients with HIV, right? So, using words are often the first interaction that we have with our patients. I even say when I get to meet them, “tell me about your journey. Have you ever been in recovery before?” rather than tell me about your addiction. “Have you ever been abstinent?” Have you ever been sober? Did you fall off the wagon? These are all terms that have very negative connotations and really reinforce a lot of the stigma that our patients already feel. My patients come with a lot of stigma to clinic. I have to remind them not to use stigmatizing words to describe themselves. They'll say things like, “I've really been an addict for 20 years.” And I have to say, “you've been a survivor for 20 years. You've been a survivor.” Or, you know, I'm the black sheep of my family. And I remind them. Actually, you have a chronic disease, and didn't you tell me your uncle has the same brain disease it runs in your family? Just reminding them much like the diabetes example again, this is a chronic disease. Those are some of the strategies I use to be really person centered and inclusive. And I do use the survivor language a lot. If they're using opioids in 2024, they are a survivor because we know the substance is out there. I do try to use a lot of empowering language as well. Pathak: I come at a lot of this from the primary care lens. I'm a primary care physician and prevention is the key for what we're always trying to do before we get to treatment and management. If we're talking about red flags or the types of questions we should be asking before we even prescribe these the first time, is it asking about family history? Should our patients be thinking about that? Like, oh, you know, Uncle Jim has had a problem with opioids in the past. That's probably not a medication we want to start in our child. What are some of the other types of questions we can be asking before we even think about that very first prescription or letting your child know that this is something that you need to be thinking about if you're at a party and someone offers you something because this is our family history. What are some of the other things you ask about?   Eaton: Family history is really important. Past experience with opioids. And if you have a patient who is in recovery, many of them will say, I know I have to have my hip replaced. Please do everything you can. Give me blocks. They want to avoid opioids. So, asking about any experience with opioids, how that went.   I would also ask about social support. You know, remind me where you're living these days. Oh, you're in an apartment with your niece. Do you have a safe place to store your medications? Tell me about that. Where do you store your medications? This comes up a lot with our unhoused population, that they are frequently having to move. Their medications are often stolen. That doesn't mean that they don't meet criteria for opioids. It may just mean you need to be more thoughtful. Do you need to go to a boarding care or shelter while we get through this period where you're recovering from your injury and you need opioids to be kept in a locked box? I think those are most of them. And then just appreciating that things like a history of trauma and social determinants of health are really going to put our patients at risk. And a lot of the young people that I see are 30 and 40 year olds who started experimenting with substances in their teens and 20s were in these multi-generational households where mom had substance use. Grandma had substance use. There were always pills around.   So, if you are seeing a patient who has a lack of social structure, living with other people with substance use, without a lot of accountability boundaries, without close follow up with a physician, that may be someone you want to consider alternatives or, you know, give them a three-day supply post op and bring them back. Right? Clinics are so full. We may not have that structure or care model in place, but that's ideal. Giving a short course. Reassess. Maybe it's time to transition something else.   Pathak: Great. Can you help us understand what exactly an overdose is? What does it look like? And what are some of the strategies like naloxone that we should be aware of? Eaton: Yeah. So right now, we're seeing the vast majority of overdoses have opioids as a contributing substance. So many of our decedents who pass away and have toxicology results have multiple substances, including stimulants. But currently, fentanyl is contaminating so many types of street drugs, whether they're a counterfeit, benzodiazepine, or a counterfeit Vicodin, or cocaine.   So, the vast majority of overdoses we're seeing right now, are opioid related, and that usually involves people looking sedated, stuporous, failure to respond to verbal stimuli, tactile stimuli. And in the current setting where we're seeing so many overdoses, I think you should always think opioids first when you're seeing someone like that. It is important to approach them, call their name, shake them if they don't respond. That's when you're going to call 9-1-1 and be looking for naloxone.   I have some in my backpack. I travel on airplanes with naloxone. And my kids who are elementary age know about naloxone. I haven't gotten to the point of educating them. But because these events are more common than cardiac arrest in many, many communities, we're training our Boy Scouts how to do CPR, but we're not necessarily training our Boy Scouts how to do naloxone for overdose reversal. But we should.   These are happening in schools. If you have a young person in your home, if you have a teenager in your home, you should have naloxone, and your teenager should as well and be trained to use. It doesn't mean your teenager is using or experimenting. It just means the people in places that young person is around have a higher likelihood of overdose than a cardiac arrest in many settings. Right? I know a lot of schools. My community schools are getting naloxone because they do appreciate that children are experiencing at school. They've had some adverse outcomes in my state on school property.   I would encourage anyone who is living with young people or older people who have access to opioids, even prescription opioids, to have naloxone. And then obviously if you know your loved one has opioid use disorder, you and they and anyone who is a caregiver for them should have naloxone on their person. Truly. So that's pretty much all of us, right? And whenever I talk to the rotary, I've talked to schools, I talked to clinicians. There are very few people who don't need to know about naloxone in the current day and age. And think of compared to something like an AED or CPR. You know, we're really good about these less stigmatized acute medical events, right?   We feel very comfortable training our Boy Scouts on how to do this, and we feel very comfortable putting an AED on our walking trails and at our gyms. Because of the stigma around substance use, we do not have naloxone in many of those community spaces, and we have not trained our community to respond to overdose in the same way we have cardiac events. Pathak: What would be part of your counseling in a Boy Scout troop or Girl Scout troop or at school to share that part of the information? How do you use something like a naloxone? What are the signs that you're looking for?   Eaton: I think this is a great topic for Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops and for health education courses for middle school. By talking about it, we're normalizing it. And based on the prevalence of substance use, we should all be aware of the signs or symptoms. So that is very appropriate. There are developmentally appropriate ways to talk about this, even to elementary students. I think sharing the statistics on youth who start experimenting, the average age, the prevalence in communities, the types of places where they may be exposed to opioids that are non-medical, the signs or symptoms of overdose, which we discussed, and the fact that there is a safe, over-the-counter reversal. Naloxone that they can and should carry as a good community citizen and community helper.   I know this will be stigmatized in some areas, and some parents will not feel comfortable with that. But I think the more that we have partnerships between pediatricians, public health officers, and schools and coaches, these types of individuals should really feel comfortable talking about this. It is nothing to stigmatize or shame or your kids aren't going to come to you.   What we want is we want these kids looking out for their friends and their parents. We want this to be something we talk about, and we go to a trusted adult when we have concerns. And that's what it will take as we're speaking to prevention. It will take a village of informed adults, trusted individuals. Who our youth can go to early when someone is just starting to experiment. When your friend just brought pills to a party for the first time. Early intervention, right? So, I think the Boy Scout example is a perfect one, but thinking all the touch points for our young people, churches, the faith-based community. And we recently did a pop up with an AME church here in the deep South. Who wanted to have a pop up. It was myself and a community agency that I work with called the Addiction Prevention Coalition. They do great work. I'm delighted that they've included me, and we passed out naloxone and we talked to these church members, many of whom were elderly. They were grandparents. They're worried about their grandkids. They're worried about what they're seeing in the news. They're worried that these kids are going out partying and they know that there are substances involved. So, another great touch point, just thinking across the age continuum, all the people who are part of communities who can be on the prevention arm of substance use. Pathak: That's really helpful and really interesting. So, we've talked a little bit about prevention, overdose prevention. We've talked about substance misuse and what that can look like. What does the process of achieving and maintaining recovery look like? When someone comes to your clinic, because that's really the goal of their treatment, how do you get started? Eaton: So just thinking about the term recovery, we use to describe someone who has reached a point where they're not using any non-medical substances, but it's important that we have each patient define that for themselves. I have many patients who are in recovery from alcohol and opioids. They cannot give up cigarettes and they're not ready to, right? I would never tell them you're not there yet. But I congratulate them on every step, and I remind them you've been in recovery from opioid use for 10 years. You've been in recovery from alcohol use for five years. You don't want to talk about tobacco today. That's fine. Look how far you've come.   And that is part of just supporting them in their journey and encouraging them. There are some people who are going to return to use. I never say fall off the wagon. I never say, you know, other stigmatizing terms. Return to use. There are some of my patients, specifically with opioid use disorder, common triggers, a breakup, a job loss, housing loss, death in the family. I do see patients return to use.   It's less common when they have been on a stable medication for opioid use disorder like buprenorphine and they are engaged in medical care. They have some counseling or group that they can go to for support and accountability, but it still happens. And then once we get them back into our clinic and we initiate the treatment again, and we follow them very, very closely in that very fragile time, you're back in care. Let's start you back on buprenorphine, for example. Let's check in with you in a week. And I have a peer counselor in my clinic who has lived experience with substance use. She's the perfect person. She's been there. She sees them very frequently over that period until we can get them back into recovery. For opioid use disorder, it is pretty clear from their behaviors. It is so physically addictive. It is so disruptive to relationships that I have very few people who can dabble with opioids. Because usually once they return, they are back in active use, is the term we use.   Pathak: And as we close out our episode, I'd love to invite you to share some bite sized action items to help create change in our lives if we are caring for a loved one, a child who may be experiencing some of the symptoms that you described.   Eaton: Absolutely. I think thinking about their survival analogy can be very encouraging and not overwhelming. Just do the next step. I think many of us want to fix our loved one. We may want to fix our child, but what is the next step? The next step may just be getting your loved one to a doctor's appointment, and that's a win. They showed up, right? Then the next step may be getting them to commit to like goals. It's not accomplishing the goals. It's just having them identify what matters to them. You know, so do these baby steps make recovery seem much less overwhelming if recovery is the goal? But I think just viewing caregiving and living with substance use as survival. And being kind to yourself, being kind to your loved ones who's living with this chronic medical condition and taking things one step at a time. Pathak: Thank you so much for being with us today. Eaton: My pleasure. Thanks for having me. Pathak: We've talked with Dr Ellen Eaton today about prevention. How do you even prevent that first use of opioid if it's not necessary? And we've talked about the journey of addiction to recovery. To find out more information about Dr Eaton, we'll have information about her and her clinic in our show notes.

This week, Dr. Scott Sigman is joined by Dr. Amit Momaya, an Orthopedic Surgeon and Sports Medicine Specialist out of University of Alabama Birmingham. Here, they discuss the milestones he's hurdled as he's started his career, his social media presence, and more.

Have you ever stood up quickly and felt a little lightheaded or felt your heart racing? What if, out of the blue, that started happening EVERY TIME YOU STOOD UP? This can be reality for folks with POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), or other forms of "orthostatic dysfunction". It can be quite debilitating, especially since it seems to target young athletic folks. Also, like many other health conditions which can manifest as nebulous, subjective symptoms (fatigue, dizziness, heart racing, brain fog, etc)- patients with POTS often feel misunderstood, ignored, and gaslit by their healthcare providers (who may not be well trained in these conditions.) Let's fix all that, shall we?? Your Doctor Friends came across a great article in the Washington Post titled "They're young and athletic. They're also ill with a condition called POTS" that featured our guest today, Camden Hebson, MD (as well as his colleague at University of Alabama Birmingham, Sara Gould, MD). Among other expert opinions in the article, Dr. Hebson outlined the increasing diagnosis of POTS, especially in young athletes. What is it? Who gets it? Why do we think this happens? How can we manage it? Resources for today's episode include: UAB website for Dr. Hebson's and Dr. Gould's Sports Medicine Cardiology Clinic for Young Athletes. The website for Dysautonomia International, a great advocacy organization for folks with POTS, and other similar autonomic nervous system dysregulation conditions. Vanderbilt University Autonomic Dysfunction Center website outlining all their recent research projects and publications. Cleveland Clinic's website on POTS. Thanks for tuning in, folks!

Welcome back to 50Talk. We ae glad you guys decided to join us this week after our two week hiatus. So much has been going on the past two weeks so Cathy and I are going to jump right into it. We have a lot of stuff to talk about. So within the last two weeks I was able to put in for retirement and to actually sign my retirement papers all in that time frame. While we were out West with the help of some great technology I was able to sign those papers as well and make May 1st my 1st official day of retirement. It feels good to be retired and stress free from the job that I had. I'm going to work on getting my body healthy after these two back surgeries before I figure out what I want to do. I have a couple ideas in mind.So, yes we went out west for a visit to Colorado to visit with family and to take in some sites. My Aunt Thelma had a surprise Birthday Party for my Uncle and it was the best. I seen family that I hadn't seen in over 8 years at least and some longer than that. It was great reconnecting with everyone over the week. Hopefully we can all be together again sooner than later.Next, Cathy gets into 8 things for adjusting to being retired. That made me feel old actually thinking about staying on some type of routine when we have kind of had a routine for years already. Great advice though and thank you Cathy for the topic.Cathy and I give another update to the Jackie Robinson  story from I think January or February about the stealing of his statue in Wichita, Kansas. I really hope this guy get's sentence on Jackie Robinson Day in the MLB. That's karma...bitch!The University of Alabama Birmingham is stealing body parts from dead prisoners and giving their bodies back to the families with stuff missing. This is similar to a story Cathy and I discussed earlier this year to. How a City in Mississippi was just burying dead prisoners if no one received their bodies after they died. The city would just bury them i unmarked graves. To some, black bodies just aren't as important as others. Our main topic of the show this week is another Police killing of a black man in Canton, Ohio. Canton is about 30-40 minutes from us here in Elyria. Watching the police body camera video of this killing brought me back to the George Floyd killing and the emotions that I felt. I really think this Canton murder is worse. I'm so sick of this happening, when is it going to stop? When are the police going to listen when a black person says "they can't breathe", the police just expect you to stop resisting when they continuously repeat "stop resisting" and they aren't even resisting. Cathy and I went to see Civil War a couple weeks ago and it is quit the rollercoaster of a movie. I had all kinds of emotions and feelings about it. I didn't hate it and I can't say that enjoyed it either but it is a must see movie. It just has so many messages coming from todays America.There is a viral video out on the interwebs with a Black woman confronting white counter protesters at the Ole Miss University in Mississippi. It's very disturbing and it also lets me know that blatant racism still exists in this country. Don't be fooled!Thanks for joining us this week. I'm gonna sit down for a minute and get this knee right and hope to be back on the road real soon. See y'all next week for Episode 106.

“I feel like I'm living a dream in many ways. It's really gratifying to be working in this area,” says Dr. Peter Hendricks, a clinical psychologist at University of Alabama Birmingham who is pursuing a long-held interest in the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. In addition to being chair of Psychiatry there, he is also a professor in the Center for Addiction and Pain Prevention and Intervention which explains why he is researching the use of psilocybin in patients with fibromyalgia, a condition which commonly involves chronic pain. “Pain involves a physiological sensation but also a psychological reaction to that pain. If we can alter psychological processes, we might be able to help people better cope with the experience of pain,” he tells host Michael Carrese. Although Hendricks has been excited about the prospect of being able to add this “new” tool to help treat addictions, PTSD, depression and other mental health conditions that are not well served by current therapies, he realizes the dangers of hype and the need for a balanced perspective. “I think it's important to note that those of us who were enthusiastic were never under the impression that this would cure everything for everybody. It could really change your life or it may not -- and that's OK -- but it would be nice for that to be an option for those who could benefit from it.” Tune in for a super thoughtful Raise the Line episode on both the promise and challenges of psychedelics and the daunting amount of work left to be done to develop sustainable therapeutic protocols and business models. Mentioned in this episode: https://www.uab.edu/cappi/

In a first-of-its-kind ruling, the Alabama Supreme Court has determined that embryos created for in vitro fertilization procedures are legally people. The decision has touched off massive confusion about potential ramifications, and the University of Alabama-Birmingham has paused its IVF program.

Kirby Smart has had to deal with some criticism in the first four games with how this offense has started games. Mike Bobo has garnered the brunt of that criticism because he is calling plays. Brock Bowers, Rara Thomas, and Domonic Lovett all got the ball early on against the University of Alabama-Birmingham. Everyone talked about how the offense is finally starting to show some type of identity as a squad. Secondly, Jovan Bullard and Joman Dumas Johnson are guys who are being looked at as leaders for the Georgia Bulldogs. Smart talked about how his defense is pretty good, but not great. Brent Rollins talked about how he doesn't really feel that this defense is capable of doing that. Clint Shamblin does believe that Will Muschamp can get this defense to Smart's liking. Lastly, the Bulldog Football party team looked ahead to the Bulldogs' matchup against the Auburn Tigers in their first road SEC game. Carson Beck was the topic of discussion as everyone wants this game to be a coming out party.Join the subtext group here:https://joinsubtext.com/lockedonsportsatlantaFanDuelMake Every Moment More.

Matthew 1:1-17; Brad Owens, RUF Campus Pastor at University of Alabama-Birmingham.

On todays episode, Dr. Bob talks to us about his research (their newest findings discovered a potential treatment for primary-progressive MS)., what it means for people with Primary progressive MS, and things you can do NOW to set yourself up for even more benefit when future therapies arrive. Bob Axtell is an Associate Member of the Arthritis & Clinical Immunology Research Program at the Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation My bachelor's and master's degrees are from Idaho State University, and my Ph.D. is from the University of Alabama-Birmingham. I conducted postdoctoral research at Stanford University for six years before opening my own lab at OMRF in 2013. In my lab, we use animal models and patient samples from OMRF's MS Center of Excellence to understand why MS behaves differently from other autoimmune diseases and why some MS patients do not respond well to standard therapy. By studying human disease specimens and animal models, we have great potential to identify new therapeutic targets and develop prognostic tests that will bring clinical care of multiple sclerosis into the forefront of personalized medicine.

In this episode, Joe interviews Ph.D. student in the Drug Use and Behavior Lab at the University of Alabama Birmingham, Haley Maria Dourron. She talks mostly about the paper she co-authored last year with Dr. Peter Hendricks and Camilla Strauss: “Self-Entropic Broadening Theory: Toward a New Understanding of Self and Behavior Change Informed by Psychedelics and Psychosis,” which analyzes the long-standing comparisons between the psychedelic state and psychosis, and points out important distinctions between the two – that science should be looking more at the way one processes information and their level of self-focus rather than similarities in outward behavior. She discusses what she calls entropic processing, which is essentially how one's brain creates novel ideas, relations, and insights based on very loosened mental schemas: with new information being considered in new ways (with no filter), do the connecting pathways that seem like eureka moments actually make sense?  She discusses the broaden and build theory and the broadening of intentional scope; entropy; chronic LSD use and risk of psychosis; schizophrenia and psychedelics; why science needs to embrace naturalistic research, and more. As of this release date, there are still a few participatory spots left in her current study on the effect of psychedelic experiences on people who have a history of psychosis, so if you had an episode of psychosis at some point and have gone on to use psychedelics, she wants to hear your story.
