Contributor: Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls: Opioid Epidemic- quick facts Drug overdoses, primarily driven by opioids, have become the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S. for individuals aged 18-45. In 2021, opioids were involved in nearly 75% of all drug overdose deaths The rise of synthetic opioids like fentanyl, which is much more potent than heroin or prescription opioids, has played a major role in the increase in overdose deaths What is Narcan AKA Naloxone? Competitive opioid antagonist. It sits on the receptor but doesn't activate it. When do we give Narcan? Respiratory rate less than 8-10 breaths per minute Should you check the pupils? An opioid overdose classically presents with pinpoint pupils BUT… Hypercapnia from bradypnea can normalize the pupils Taking other drugs at the same time like cocaine or meth can counteract the pupillary effects Basilar stroke could also cause small pupils, so don't anchor on an opioid overdose How does Narcan affect the body? Relatively safe even if the patient is not experiencing an opioid overdose. So when in doubt, give the Narcan. What if the patient is opioid naive and overdosing? Use a large dose given that this patient is unlikely to withdraw 0.4-2 mg every 3-5 minutes What if the patient is a chronic opioid user Use a smaller dose such as 0.04-0.4 mg to avoid precipitated withdrawal How fast does Narcan work? Given intravenously (IV), onset is 1-2 min Given intranasal (IN), onset is 3-4 min Given intramuscularly (IM), onset is ~6 min Duration of action is 60 mins, with a range of 20-90 minutes How does that compare to the duration of action of common opioids? Heroine lasts 60 min Fentanyl lasts 30-60 min, depending on route Carfentanyl lasts ~5 hrs Methadone lasts 12-24 hrs So we really need to be conscious about redosing How do you monitor someone treated with Narcan? Pay close attention to the end-tidal CO2 to ensure that are ventilating appropriately Be cautious with giving O2 as it might mask hypoventilation Watch the respiratory rate Give Narcan as needed Observe for at least 2-4 hours after the last Narcan dose Larger the dose, longer the observation period Who gets a drip? If they have gotten ~3 doses, time to start the drip Start at 2/3rds last effective wake-up dose Complications Flash pulm edema 0.2-3.6% complication rate Might be from the catecholamine surge from abrupt wake-up Might also be from large inspiratory effort against a partially closed glottis which creates too much negative pressure Treat with BIPAP if awake and intubation if not awake Should you give Narcan in cardiac arrest? Short answer no. During ACLS you take over breathing for the patient and that is pretty much the only way that Narcan can help Just focus on high quality CPR References https://nida.nih.gov/research-topics/trends-statistics/overdose-death-rates#:~:text=Drug%20overdose%20deaths%20involving%20prescription,of%20deaths%20declined%20to%2014%2C716.

In Iran and Palestine: Past, Present and Future (Routledge, 2019), Seyed Ali Alavi (SOAS University of London) surveys the history of the relationship between Iran – and especially the Islamic Republic of Iran - with Palestinian organisations and leadership. It also, quite obviously, deals with Iranian views of Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Analysing the connections of the Iranian revolutionary movements, both the Left and the Islamic camps' perspectives are scrutinized. To provide a historical background to the post-revolutionary period, the genealogy of pro-Palestinian sentiments before 1979 are traced additionally. Demonstrating the pro-Palestinian stance of post-revolutionary Iran, the study focuses on the causes of roots of the ideological outlook and the interest of the state. Despite a growing body of literature on the Iranian Revolution and its impacts on the region, Iran's connection with Palestine have been overlooked. This new volume fills the gap in the literature and enables readers to unpack the history of the two states. This unique and comprehensive coverage of Iran and Palestine's relationship is a key resource for scholars and students interested in international relations, politics, Islamic and Middle East studies. Yaacov Yadgar is the Stanley Lewis Professor of Israel Studies at the University of Oxford. His most recent book is Sovereign Jews: Israel, Zionism and Judaism (SUNY Press, 2017).

It's one of the strange artifacts of history that Zanzibar, off the coast of Tanzania, was once controlled by the Sultanate of Oman. In 1832, then Sultan Sayyid Saïd bin Sultan al-Busaidi made the island his capital, with the empire split in two upon his death: one based in Muscat, one based in Zanzibar. As Seema Alavi notes in her history, Sovereigns of the Sea: Omani Ambition in the Age of Empire (India Allen Lane, 2023), the Omanis extended their reach across the Indian Ocean, preserving their autonomy in the age of European empire–particularly, and perhaps awkwardly, regarding the slave trade. Seema Alavi is a professor of history at Ashoka University, Sonipat, Haryana. In 2010, she was at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard as the William Bentinck-Smith Fellow. She has written books on the military, medical and religious histories of India, including Muslim Cosmopolitanism in the Age of Empire (Harvard University Press: 2015) Today, Seema and I talk about Zanzibar, the slave trade, and what the Omani Sultanate tells us about the international system in the age of empire.

This week on The Treatment, Elvis sits down with journalist, CNN host, and author Jake Tapper to discuss his latest novel, the thriller All The Demons Are Here. Next, filmmaker Dorsay Alavi talks about her film Wayne Shorter: Zero Gravity, which chronicles the late jazz great. And for The Treat, Oppenheimer star Cillian Murphy talks about The Beatles' “brilliant” song “A Day in the Life,” and why he believes it laid the groundwork for future musical innovation.  

A new documentary series chronicles the life of saxophonist and jazz legend Wayne Shorter. Director Dorsay Alavi, who was personally close with Shorter, worked on the series for many years and interviewed Shorter for the project before his passing. Alavi joins us to discuss the series, titled "Wayne Shorter: Zero Gravity," which begins streaming on Prime Video on August 25. *This segment is guest-hosted by Kousha Navidar.  

In the docuseries "Wayne Shorter: Zero Gravity," directed by Dorsay Alavi, the narrative unfolds across three episodes, each lasting about an hour, aptly named "portals." (paying homage to Shorter's affinity for Buddhism, as well as his passion for science fiction and fantasy.) Set to debut this Friday August 25th, coinciding with what would have been Shorter's 90th birthday, the series will be available for streaming on Prime Video. Beyond simply tracing the chronological events of Shorter's life as a native of New Jersey, the series goes much deeper. It serves as a poignant record of his emotions, creative expression, and faith, capturing both the immense scope of his musical prowess and his spirited, exploratory nonconformity. Director Dorsay Alavi joins Tavis to discuss the process of crafting Wayne Shorter's captivating journey through the lenses of music, spirituality, and to discuss his lasting legacy.

Sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarnhttps://www.creepingdeath.net/Introducing their latest single, "The Common Breed," Texas-based death metal practitioners CREEPING DEATH are ready to rock the metal scene. Accompanied by a captivating music video, this track is part of their highly anticipated Boundless Domain LP, slated for release on June 16th via MNRK Heavy.Produced by Adam Dutkiewicz, guitarist of Killswitch Engage and renowned for his work with bands like As I Lay Dying, The Acacia Strain, and Underoath, Boundless Domain is a sophomore album that exudes immense power, depth, and intensity. From start to finish, it delivers a relentless onslaught of heavy riffs and is guaranteed to captivate metal fans. In the wake of the unfortunate passing of local heroes Riley Gale of Power Trip and Wade Allison of Iron Age, the band members—guitarist Trey Pemberton, singer Reese Alavi, bassist Eric "Rico" Mejia, drummer Lincoln Mullins, and guitarist A.J. Ross, III—found inspiration in revisiting their favorite metallic hardcore influences. Boundless Domain features future death metal classics such as the crushingly heavy and fast-paced "Intestinal Wrap," featuring George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher of Cannibal Corpse. Another standout track, "Vitrified Earth," showcases CREEPING DEATH's impressive songwriting skills, with Alavi's vocal delivery demonstrating impeccable cadence and phrasing, all while maintaining a brutal edge. Towards the end of the album, listeners can expect a touch of atmospheric elements, with mesmerizing guitar effects, harmonies, and intricate time signatures.Speaking about their latest single, "The Common Breed," Pemberton shares, "This music video perfectly captures the energy of a CREEPING DEATH live show. It was a blast to make, and we are grateful to all our friends and family who came out and went wild for us." After a successful European/UK tour supporting Revocation and Goatwhore earlier this year, followed by a recent North American run supporting Carcass, Municipal Waste, and Sacred Reich, CREEPING DEATH is ready to hit the road again with the Boundless Domain Summer 2023 tour. This headlining tour will consist of two parts and will feature support from two different groups. Part 1 kicks off on June 16th in San Antonio, Texas, coinciding with the release of their new LP, and will cover the Western half of the United States, concluding on July 1st in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Joining CREEPING DEATH for Part 1 will be Year Of The Knife, Fleshrot, and Saintpeeler.After a brief break, the band will embark on Part 2 of the Boundless Domain Summer 2023 tour on July 10th in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This leg of the tour will see CREEPING DEATH conquering the Eastern half of the country until July 21st, concluding in Fort Worth, Texas. Enforced will join them on select dates during Part 2, along with Upon Stone and Saintpeeler. Tickets for the tour are now available for purchase on creepingdeath.net. Check out the list of confirmed tour dates below and make sure to catch CREEPING DEATH's electrifying performances.In the realm of heavy metal, there exists a subgenre that pushes the boundaries of intensity, aggression, and sheer brutality. It is a sonic onslaught that evokes a visceral reaction, both captivating and polarizing listeners. This genre is none other than Death Metal.Emerging in the early 1980s, death metal carved its own path in the metal landscape, distinct from its predecessor, thrash metal. While thrash focused on speed and technicality, death metal delved into darker territories, exploring themes of death, horror, gore, and existential dread. It was a musical rebellion, a cathartic release This episode is sponsored by www.betterhelp.com/TheBarn and presented to you by The Barn Media Group.

Dr. Maysa Alavi, MD is a board-certified physician and internationally recognized speaker, practitioner, and teacher of Psychedelic Therapies, Ketamine Administration, and Integrative Medicine. She unites cutting-edge Western science with Eastern wellness philosophies to heal mind, body and spirit in what she terms ‘Functional-Psychedelic Medicine,' addressing the psycho-spiritual as well as the material.She has studied at best-in-class institutions and organizations including The University of Southern California, University of Texas, UCLA, Institute for Functional Medicine, and Dr. Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. Dr. Maysa is certified in MDMA Assisted Therapy by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), and she is trained in psilocybin assisted therapy with COMPASS Pathways.Among her many roles are Study-Site Physician and Therapist for the MAPS Phase 3 Clinical Trials investigating the use of MDMA Assisted Therapy for the treatment of PTSD. She will be among the first providers to bring this form of therapy to the general public pending FDA approval. Dr. Maysa teaches for Fluence in the field of Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP) and she conducts small group trainings for medical professionals looking to start their own ketamine practice, teaching the fundamentals of psychedelic preparation and integration, and how to medically screen for and administer ketamine by its various routes. She is a consultant for start-up practices entering the psychedelic market and she serves on the Board of Advisors for the Veteran's Alliance for Holistic Alternatives (VAHA). She has given many lectures on the topics of psychedelics, cannabis, and ketamine for the New Orleans Psychedelic Society and Cultivating Self, a non-profit continuing education platform for licensed healthcare professionals and RNs. Dr. Maysa humanizes health care by developing trusted personal relationships with her clients, empowering them to understand the root causes of their dis-ease and helping them connect with their own inner healing intelligence for long-term wellness. This goes above and beyond typical “symptom management medicine” by identifying and bringing awareness to the issue's origin and its perpetuating and mediating factors.She incorporates multiple modalities into her practice—from functional labs, nutraceuticals and IV infusions to energy work, plant and psychedelic medicines and mind-body techniques. She works with clients to develop balanced healing plans that combine mind-manifesting therapies and advanced laboratory analysis with wellness approaches that nurture wholeness. Her plans include customized guidance on hydration, nutrition, breath-work, meditation, movement, stress-reduction, sleep optimization, supplementation, medication reconciliation and/or tapering for those on pharmaceuticals, and laboratory analysis. She applies her in-depth knowledge of traditional and indigenous plant medicines like psychedelic mushrooms, cannabis, ayahuasca, rapeh, kambo, salvia and sananga by educating clients on the safe and appropriate usage of these and other medicines. Dr. Maysa believes that simple changes yield meaningful results, namely: proper salt/mineral and water balance in the body, utilization of the light/energy spectrum, awareness of breath and optimizing airway and sleep, joyful movement, conscious consumption, and connection with community and one's own inner world. She believes regular reboots of our “inner computer” are critical and can be accessed through mind-manifesting therapies including, but not limited to psychedelics and entheogens (heart openers). She is a huge proponent of daily meditation and Blessing of The Energy Centers. Visit Dr. Maysa's website www.DrMaysa.com for more information about her, her offerings, and to book in-person or remote visits.
