Six years ago we had John Newman on GeriPal to talk about Geroscience (Song choice Who Wants to Live Forever by Queen, perfect selection).  John explained the basics of geroscience, what is it, what are the key theories in geroscience, what is senescence, why people who provide clinical care for older adults should care about geroscience, and potential therapeutics like metformin and rapamycin. Today we bring on three rising stars in Geroscience, Brian Andonian, Sara LaHue, Joe Hippensteel, to talk about one of the key pillars of Geroscience: inflammaging.  We use this terrific paper they published in Geroscience as a springboard.  We discuss: What is inflammaging? Chronic progressive low grade inflammation with aging. I try to get one of them to stake a claim that inflammaging should be the organizing principle of geroscience How does inflammaging operate in rheumatologic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (Brian), neurologic conditions like traumatic brain injury  (Sara), and critical illness (Joe).  We talk about Post-ICU Syndrome (PICS) and relate inflammaging to our prior podcast with Wes Ely about his book Every Deep Drawn Breath.  We also talk about how inflammaging is not just a factor in chronic conditions like diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease, which make intuitive sense, but also in acute conditions, like sepsis or traumatic brain injury in older adults. The state of the science on clinical and research tests for inflammaging - ready for prime time?  What is the state of the science for therapeutics? Why should some anti-inflammatory therapeutics make us nervous in frail older adults? Inflammation developed evolutionarily for a reason. E.g. tthink of drugs that wipe out the immune system. The outsized discrepancy between non-FDA products marketed to consumers as anti-inflammaging and the state of academic Geroscience.  We announce GeriPal's new lineup of skin care anti-inflammaging products! We discuss lifestyle interventions such as exercise, meditation, caloric restriction and intermittent fasting, and strength/resistance training. We recognize the efforts of ClinStar in bringing together multidisciplinary aging researchers to advance aging research, including our guests. And what a joy to sing Billy Joel!  Here's a link to the documentary I mentioned, which is on my list to see. -Alex Smith

In this episode of the Exceptional Sales Leader Podcast, I am joined by Alex Smith, founder of Basic Arts and author of "The No Bullshit Strategy." Together, we explore the misconceptions surrounding business strategy and how simplifying these concepts can lead to more tangible success. Alex's unconventional journey in strategy, beginning without formal education in the field, offers enlightening insights into how less can be more in the complex world of business strategy. Alex dives deep into the dynamics of effective strategy by underscoring its simplicity and execution. He emphasises that the real value of strategy lies in actionable insights rather than jargon-filled boardroom discussions. As the conversation unfolds, Alex shares his perspective on how culture and strategy intertwine, illustrating how a defined strategy can foster a unique culture within an organisation. The episode further tackles the critical concept of not striving to be the "best" but focusing on becoming the "only" in one's niche. By challenging traditional norms and encouraging businesses to embrace distinctive approaches, Alex provides a fresh perspective that is both practical and inspiring.

In this special episode of LawTech Talks, produced in partnership with iManage, we explore how teams – both in-house and in private practice – can leverage their internal knowledge assets to prepare them for the next generation of legal services and AI and digital transformation. Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with iManage's global product director for knowledge and AI, Alex Smith, and Asia-Pacific legal industry expert Madeleine Porter about why knowledge management is such an urgent priority for legal teams, how cognisant lawyers are of this urgency, lessons learnt from this past year, whether certain practices and processes remain fit for purpose in the current climate, and whether it's becoming harder for legal teams to avoid drowning in knowledge. Smith and Porter also delve into the questions that legal teams need to ask of themselves in better mastering their knowledge management, creating a more holistic operational culture, approaches that will not work moving forward, practical steps that need to be taken, leveraging business data, the role of AI and automation, ethical considerations, and the opportunities to be gleaned from taking such action.

Today's topic on palliative care for sickle cell disease may raise eyebrows with some of you.  You might think, wait, now we're doing sickle cell?  On top of liquid cancer and transplant, kidney disease, liver disease, and survivorship?  Where does it end?  Do we have staff for all of this? Well I implore you, dear listeners, to keep an open mind and listen to this podcast.  Our guests do a fabulous job of stating the case for palliative care in sickle cell disease, to the point that we ask: why haven't we been doing this all along? Our guests today are Craig Blinderman, Stephanie Kiser, Eberechi Nwogu-Onyemkpa, three palliative care docs who have been advancing the practice in palliative care for sickle cell for a long time. Our discussion ranges from what is sickle cell; to outcomes; to social determinants and discrimination; to PCAs, ketorolac, and bupenorphine; and to the importance of the interdisciplinary team. I would also encourage you to check out Eberechi's NEJM Perspective on Involving Palliative Care to Improve Outcomes in Sickle Cell, which includes a table of the challenges and action items needed to move the field forward. I'd also encourage you to sample this AAHPM Flight on the same topic (we learned that a flight is similar to a flight of drinks - a quick sampling). As Eberechi notes at the start, we should be grateful for the community of people who are advancing palliative care in sickle cell.  Thank you for being a friend (song hint!). -Alex Smith

Rethinking Slow Codes: Gina Piscitello, Parker Crutchfield, Jason Wasserman

I'm going to begin with a wonderful quote from a recent editorial in Bioethics by our guests Parker Crutchfield & Jason Wasserman. This quote illustrates the tension between the widely held view in bioethics that slow codes are unethical, and the complexity of real world hospital practice: “Decisive moral positions are easy to come by when sitting in the cheap seats of academic journals, but a troubling ambivalence is naturally characteristic of live dilemmas.” Gina Piscitello, our third guest, recently surveyed doctors, nurses and others at 2 academic medical centers about slow codes.  In a paper published in JPSM, she found that two thirds had cared for a patient where a slow code was performed.  Over half believed that a slow code is ethical if they believed the code is futile. Slow codes are happening. The accepted academic bioethics stance that slow codes are unethical is not making it through to practicing clinicians. Our 3 guests were panelists at a session of the American Society of Bioethics and the Humanities annual meeting last year, and their panel discussion was apparently the talk of the meeting. Today we talk about what constitutes a slow code, short code, show code, and “Hollywood code.” We talk about walk don't run, shallow compressions, and…injecting the epi into the mattress! We explore the arguments for and against slow codes: harm to families, harm to patients, moral distress for doctors and nurses; deceit, trust, and communication; do outcomes (e.g. family feels code was attempted) matter more than values (e.g. never lie or withhold information from family)? We talk about the classic bioethics “trolley problem” and how it might apply to slow codes (for a longer discussion see this paper by Parker Crutchfield).  We talk about the role of the law, fear of litigation, and legislative overreach (for more see this paper by Jason Wasserman). We disagree if slow codes are ever ethical.  I argue that Eric's way out of this is a slow code in disguise. One thing we can all agree about: the ethics of slow codes need a rethink. Stop! In the name of love. Before you break my heart. Think it over… -Alex Smith

Eric and I had the pleasure of doing a GeriPal Live! Podcast as the closing keynote for the recent Center to Advance Palliative Care (CAPC) National Assembly in Philadelphia PA. For this podcast, we invited 3 guests to each select an article of interest to them, and engage in a discussion about the article, including questions from the CAPC attendees in the audience. Our guests chose the following articles (in the order discussed) Matt Gonzalez used AI to select an article by Ravi Parikh on algorithm based nudges to default patients with advanced cancer into a palliative care consult, published in JAMA Network Open, finding 44% in the intervention arm received palliative care consults, vs 8% in the control arm.  We discussed use of AI to select the article, nudges, sludge, and the impressive though still less than 50% rate of PC consults. Kim Curseen selected an article by Harry Han in JPSM that surveyed palliative care fellowships, finding that clinical fellows spent 5 weeks in outpatient care and 24 weeks in inpatient care, on average.  We discussed the mismatch between outpatient training, and the needs of people with serious illness who spend most of their lives outside the hospital, and training in inpatient care, where most hospitals have robust services and needs. Training in non-onc palliative care was particularly low. Karen Bullock selected a letter she first authored in response to Ira Byock's white paper on a path forward in hospice and palliative care. We discussed the need to view all issues in geriatrics, hospice, and palliative care through an equity lens, particularly in view of the disparate impact on historically marginalized communities of concerning practices and trends in hospice and palliative care (e.g. private equity gobbling up hospices).  And at the end, we sang a tribute to the Lady Gaga of Palliative Care, with the whole Assembly singing along!

BT and Sal debated the notion that playing Jaxson Dart now is simply about "getting him experience," arguing that a poor team environment risks derailing his career more than it helps. Sal stressed that a quarterback needs the right infrastructure—specifically a competent head coach and strong offensive line—to thrive, citing the career turnaround of Alex Smith under Jim Harbaugh as the perfect example. The hosts worry that if the Giants' current "bad egg" coaching situation continues, Dart's high potential, moxie, and physical talent won't matter, as he'll be "chewed up and spit out" by the NFL like many talented-but-mismanaged quarterbacks before him.

Although retail has been out of favor over the past several years with the threat of ecommerce, it's gained traction more recently. As opposed to being venues for traditional soft goods stores, retail space is becoming utilized for other purposes such as medical services, boutique gyms, and restaurants. There's also been negligible new construction since 2008, so demand for space has outgrown supply, which has resulted in mid-90% occupancy rates nationally.  Alex Smith, Co-founder and Managing Partner of  Regal Ventures, acquires retail, mixed use, and small bay industrial mostly in New York and the greater Tri-State area.

What is a “good death”? How should we define it, and who gets to decide? Is the concept of a “good death” even useful? Twenty-five years ago, Karen Steinhauser published a groundbreaking study in JAMA that transformed my understanding of what it means to have a good death and questioned the usefulness of the term itself. This study examined the factors that are important at the end of life for patients, families, physicians, and other healthcare providers. In today's podcast, we are honored to have Karen join us to discuss this pivotal study and the nature of a “good death”. We are also joined by Rasa Mikelyte and Edison Vidal, co-authors of a recent study comparing the perspectives of people with dementia in the UK and Brazil on what constitutes a good death. In addition to exploring the nature of a good death and their individual studies, we will discuss: Whether an external criterion for a good death exists, or if it is entirely dependent on the perspective of the dying individual. The role of culture and spirituality in defining a good death. The role of healthcare providers in the discussion about the nature of a good death. Key references we discuss include: Our previous GeriPal podcast, “Should the Concept of ‘The Good Death' Be Buried?” with VJ Periyakoil. Karen's 2000 JAMA article, “Factors Considered Important at the End of Life by Patients, Family, Physicians, and Other Care Providers.” Rasa and Edison's article, “Comparing the Views of People with Dementia in the UK and Brazil about a Good Death.” A short video from the EPEC project that Edison mentioned during the recording of an interview with Cicely Saunders, where she shares her advice for anyone going into medicine or palliative care and her views about the principles of palliative care.

In this clip from the Friday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, host Adam Bittner welcomes Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey to ponder best-case scenarios for the Steelers in 2025 and what needs to go right to attain them. Do T.J. Watt, Alex Smith, Nick Herbig and the pass rush need to be better than they were in 2024? And how much will a reloaded offensive line with Derrick Harmon and Yahya Black next to Cam Heyward and Keeanu Benton help in that pursuit? Can the entire quarterback room be good enough for OC Arthur Smith? From Aaron Rodgers, who's facing questions about how quickly he can find his stride, to Mason Rudolph in a backup role. And can coach Mike Tomlin get where he wants to go if Broderick Jones, and potentially also Troy Fautanu, aren't playing at close to a Pro Bowl level in protecting a largely immobile Rodgers behind center? Our duo tackles those questions and more.

Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment: Benefits, Cost-Effectiveness, and Who It Helps Most - Eric Wong and Thiago Silva

GeriPal - A Geriatrics and Palliative Care Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 21, 2025 44:02


In today's podcast we talk with Eric Wong, geriatrician-researcher from Toronto, and Thiago Silva, geriatrician-researcher from Brazil, about the comprehensive geriatrics assessment.  We spend the first 30 minutes (at least) discussing what, exactly is the comprehensive geriatric assessment, including: What domains of assessment are essential/mandatory components of the comprehensive geriatrics assessment? Who performs it? Is a multidisciplinary team required? Can a geriatrician perform it alone? Can non-geriatricians perform it? Who is the comprehensive geriatrics assessment for? Who is most likely to benefit? Eric Widera suggests not as much benefit for very sick and very healthy older adults, more benefit in the vast middle. Why do the comprehensive geriatrics assessment? What are the interventions that it leads to (we cover this more conceptually, rather than naming all possible interventions) How does the comprehensive geriatrics assessment relate to the 4Ms (or 5 Ms)? How long does it take to conduct a comprehensive geriatrics assessment? What's the evidence (BMJ meta analysis) for the comprehensive geriatrics assessment?  What are the outcomes we hope for from the comprehensive geriatrics assessment?   That final point, about outcomes, bring's us to Eric Wong's study, published in JAGS, which evaluates the cost effectiveness of the comprehensive geriatrics assessment performed by a geriatrician across settings (e.g. acute care, rehab, community clinics). As an aside, as the editor at JAGS who managed this manuscript, I will say that we don't ordinarily publish cost effectiveness studies at JAGS, as the methods are opaque to our clinical audience (e.g. raise your hand if you understand what ‘CGA provided in the combination of acute care and rehab was non-dominated' means). We published this article because its bottom line is of great interest to geriatricians.  In Eric's study, geriatricians performing CGA were more cost effective than usual care in Every. Single. Setting. And of course cost effectiveness is only one small piece of the argument for why we do the comprehensive geriatrics assessment in the first place (no patient in the history of the world has ever asked for a test or treatment because it's cost effective for the health care system). I'll close with a couple of “mic drop” excerpts from Thiago's accompanying editorial: Finally, it is instructive to compare the cost-effectiveness of geriatric services and CGAs with other interventions. A recent analysis of lecanemab for early-stage Alzheimer's disease found that gaining one QALY would cost approximately $287,000 (USD). In contrast, Wong et al. estimated that adding community-based CGA would cost about $1203 (CAD) per quality-adjusted life month (QALM) (equating to roughly $10,105 (USD) per QALY, using $1 USD = $0.7 CAD), making geriatrician-led CGA nearly 30 times more cost-effective. Put simply, for each dollar spent to improve quality of life for a year through CGA, one would need to spend almost $30 to achieve the same benefit with lecanemab.  Ultimately, the question is not whether geriatricians represent a worthwhile investment (they are) but how healthcare systems can ensure that every older adult requiring specialized, comprehensive care can access it. Wong et al.'s modeling study provides a valuable contribution by showing that geriatricians placed in acute and rehabilitation settings offer the most cost-effective deployment given current workforce limitations. Despite some caveats, the overarching message remains clear: geriatric expertise not only enhances care quality but can also align with health-economic objectives, especially in high-acuity environments. However, we cannot allow an inadequate geriatric workforce to become a permanent constraint, forcing painful decisions about which older adults and which settings will miss out on optimal geriatric care. Instead, we should continue to strive to increase the number of geriatricians through robust training programs and payment model reform to ensure that cost-effective care can be provided for this large and growing vulnerable population.  -Alex Smith

On a prior podcast we talked with Todd Semla and Mike Steinman about the update to the AGS Beers Criteria of potentially inappropriate medications in older adults (Todd and Mike co-chair the AGS Beers Criteria Panel).  One of the questions that came up was - well if we should probably think twice or avoid that medication, what should we do instead? Today we talk with Todd and Mike about their new recommendations of alternative treatments to the AGS Beers Criteria, published recently in JAGS, and also presented at the 2025 AGS conference in Chicago (and available on demand online). We had a lot of fun at the start of the podcast talking about the appropriate analogy for how clinicians should use the AGS Beers Criteria.  In our last podcast, the analogy was a stop sign. You should come to a stop before you prescribe or refill a medication on the Beers list, look around at alternatives, and consider how to proceed.  You might in the end decide to proceed, as there are certainly situations in which it does make sense to start or continue a medication on the Beers list. Today's analogy had somewhat higher stakes, involving a driver, a pothole in the road, and a cyclist on the side who you'd hit if you swerved.  Really upping the anti!!! The podcast is framed around a case Eric crafted of a patient with most of the medications and conditions on the Beers list. We used this as a springboard to discuss the following issues (with links to prior GeriPal podcasts): Insomnia (Doxepin is an alternative, trazodone and melatonin are not?!?) Diabetes management  PPI for GERD Treatments for pain, including NSAIDS, COX2, and gabapentinoids Cannabis Deprescribing,org - terrific Canadian website (no tariff to use) And I hope that the prescribing landscape is indeed getting better (thanks to Kai on guitar)! -Alex Smith

In his book, “Why We Revolt,” Victor Montori decries the industrialization of healthcare.  We've become a healthcare factory, beholden to health systems motivated by profit. In particular, he laments the loss of the “care” aspect of healthcare. Clinicians are under the clock to churn through patients.  Patients are tasked with doing work outside of the clinic. Patients are tasked with hours and hours of work to self manage, obtain and manage medications, track weights and fingersticks, not to mention scheduling visits and waiting around for the visit to start. Now we have an app for that. For what, you ask? Well, for everything! Digital burden is real. Think about what we ask patients to do: charge your device, remember your password, 2 factor authentication, each interface is different, wait…where do you enter your fingersticks again? Victor is an endocrinologist who often provides care for older patients with multiple chronic conditions, polypharmacy, and complex social situations.  He's “one of us.” Some might argue that these circumstances call for incremental change.  Not Victor.  He argues that we need a revolution. In particular, he argues that the revolution must come from patients to be successful. On this podcast we discuss: Why do we need a revolution? What made him get to this point of arguing for a revolt? Why should the revolution be patient led, rather than clinician led? What role do clinicians have to play? What is minimally disruptive medicine (a term Victor coined with Carl May and Francis Mair in 2009)? How does shared decision making fit into the revolution? What's the matter with guidelines? What's the role of standardization? We suspect that most geriatrics and palliative care providers feel like they've escaped many of the issues Victor describes, trading less glamorous and remunerative work for more satisfying time spent caring for patients; focusing on what matters, goals of care, and attention to emotion and social well-being.  Are we deluding ourselves? If you'd like to join the revolution, please check out Victor's website, patientrevolution.org And I believe this is the first Peter Gabriel song request! I think Peter Gabriel's album So was the first cassette tape I purchased.  About time, 350+ podcasts in.  My son Kai turns this very non-guitar friendly song into an acoustic jam for the audio-only podcast version; you get my weaker attempt on YouTube :)  Finally, a quick plug for the Sommer Lecture series in Portland OR.  Victor and I had a terrific time bonding at this year's lecture series. While not strictly geriatrics and palliative care focused, the lectures seem targeted at a broad audience, with something for everyone.  And yes, I made them sing parody songs :) -Alex Smith
