At Euroanaesthesia in Rotterdam, TopMedTalk hosts Andy Cumpsty and Kate Leslie speak with Denise Veelo Professor of Anesthesiology at the Amsterdam University Medical Center and Bernd Saugel Professor of Anesthesiology and Vice Chair of the Department of Anesthesiology in the Center of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, about two JAMA blood-pressure trials published on the same day. Veelo describes a 3,500-patient, two-center randomized trial comparing usual care (MAP 65) with more intensive, risk-stratified higher MAP thresholds (70/80/90) using a functional recovery primary outcome, stopped early for futility. Saugel outlines the 1,300-patient IMPROVE trial in 15 German centers, individualizing the lower intervention threshold to each patient's preoperative nighttime MAP versus routine MAP 65, with a 7-day composite outcome; no significant difference was found and event rates were ~30%. They conclude routine targeting substantially above MAP 65 is not supported for broad populations, note special circumstances may differ, and they discuss limitations, vasopressor-heavy practice, and future research including the ASPIRE 85 delirium-focused trial and work on autoregulation and physiology. -- The 2026 International Practicum on Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing will be held at the Balmer Lawn Hotel in Brockenhurst, UK, from September 16th to 18th this year.

From the World Congress of Anesthesiologists in Marrakech, TopMedTalk hosts Mike Grocott and Kate Leslie discuss perioperative cardiac risk assessment with Hilary Grocott, Professor and Head of, The Department of Anesthesiology, Pharmacology & Therapeutics (University of British Columbia) and Michelle Chew Professor of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden, and editor for the British Journal of Anaesthesia. The conversation reviews perioperative cardiac biomarkers, noting abundant prognostic data but limited evidence for biomarker-led management. The discussion emphasizes that elevated troponins can reflect non-cardiac complications (AKI, PE, sepsis) as well as myocardial injury or heart failure, requiring context-specific follow-up pathways. The group highlights NT-proBNP as a specific marker for heart failure and useful for screening and optimization. The podcast then focuses on pulmonary hypertension and failing right ventricle: detect via history, exam, echo, and biomarkers; prioritize preemptive preparation, arterial beat-to-beat monitoring, modest fluids, early vasopressors/inotropes (norepinephrine, low-dose epinephrine), ventilatory optimization, and vigilant, rapid intervention.

if you have any feedback, please send us a text! Thank you!When Congress celebrated July 4 by enacting House Resolution 1 (known as H.R. 1 or the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”), experts warned of massive impacts on Medicaid programs nationwide and the more than 70 million people who rely on them.H.R. 1 cut nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid, the largest funding reduction in the program's 60-year history. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates that by 2034, as many as 10 million individuals nationwide will become uninsured as numerous new eligibility rules are imposed in Medicaid and ACA programs.The Medicaid program, known as Medi-Cal in California, covers more than half of the state's children, 2.2 million seniors and people with disabilities, 1 in 5 working Californians, and millions of other people with low incomes. H.R. 1 is expected to cut $30 billion a year in federal funding from Medi-Cal, reducing overall access to care and possibly pushing some safety net providers into dire straits, according to the California Budget and Policy Center. Up to 3.4 million state residents could lose coverage, the center said. As the uninsured population rises, more medical bills will go unpaid, cutting revenue for California's health care safety net.Join my guests today who will explain the impact this will have on rural healthcare in California and the effect on anesthesiology services. Charley Yan is a fourth-year medical student at UC Davis with a background in Medicaid policy. Before medical school, he helped drive California's Medicaid expansion efforts and has since analyzed coverage and safety-net policies across multiple states.Mary Morales is an anesthesiologist at Stanford. She is the current vice chair of the CSA Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion committee (JEDI). Naileshni Singh (pronounced Na-Lesh-Knee Sing) is a pain interventionalist with a background in Anesthesiology from the University of California, Davis.  She is the current chair of the California Society of Anesthesiologist's Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion committee (JEDI).   Resources:https://csahq.org/2025/09/02/federal-funding-cuts-threaten-rural-californias-health-anesthesia-care/https://www.chcf.org/resource/how-massive-federal-cuts-will-create-unprecedented-challenges-medi-cal-patients-providers/ 

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Tejal Raju to discuss chronic pain, inflammation, joint pain, and the role that plant-based nutrition can play in supporting overall health and pain management.

In this episode, Dr. Hemal Patel explores how cellular energetics and membrane biology play a central role in health, resilience, and disease. He explains that the cell membrane is not just a barrier, but a dynamic and intelligent system that organizes signaling, regulates energy, and may even influence aging.Dr. Patel shares insights into:How mitochondria and membranes work together to control energy productionThe role of circadian rhythms and cellular “oscillations” in maintaining healthWhy aging and chronic disease may begin with membrane breakdownHow communication across the body may be driven through the blood as a signaling systemA major focus of the conversation is MeScreen, a novel test designed to assess mitochondrial function using a simple blood sample. By exposing lab-grown cells to a person's plasma, MeScreen evaluates how their internal biochemical environment influences energy production, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial resilience.The episode highlights a key shift in thinking:Health isn't just about individual organs or genes, but about how systems communicate, adapt, and maintain energy balance over time.Neuroveda Health patients receive $250 off when ordering through the clinic.

On the heels of the weekend premiere of her new CNN series, “Kara Swisher Wants To Live Forever,” Kara brings together a panel of experts to talk more about longevity, anti-aging, and the money that's pouring into the wellness industry. Katie Couric is a journalist. She's also been a longtime advocate for early cancer screenings since her first husband died of colon cancer and she was diagnosed with breast cancer.  Amy Larocca is an award-winning journalist and author of the book, “How To Be Well: Navigating Our Self-Care Epidemic, One Dubious Cure At A Time.”  And Kara's brother, Dr. Jeffrey Swisher, is chairman of the Department of Anesthesiology at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. He recently caught a so-called “widowmaker” heart attack before it happened, and his wife has also been diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer. Kara, Katie, Amy and Jeff talk about the explosion of health misinformation online and why people have become so skeptical of medical experts. They also talk about the promising health care science on the horizon and the real secrets to living a long, happy life.  Questions? Comments?

On March 26, 2026, we held our annual UTSA Neuroscience Symposium entitled "From Place Cells to Cognition", featuring 5 speakers presenting original research on the cognitive functions of hippocampal place cells. They discussed the firing patterns of place cells during exploration of cognitive maps, anticipating future movements, recall of previously visited locations, and imagining the movement of objects in the environment. After the symposium, I met with the speakers to review some of the themes that emerged throughout the day.Speakers:Francesco Savelli, Assistant Professor, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UTSAAnnabelle Singer, Associate Professor, Department of Biomedical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology and Emory UniversityAlbert Lee, Associate Professor, Department of Neurology and Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Harvard UniversityJill Leutgeb, Professor, Department of Neurobiology, University of California San DiegoKamran Diba, Associate Professor, Department of Anesthesiology, University of MichiganHost:Charles Wilson, Department of Neuroscience, Developmental and Regenerative Biology, UTSAThanks to James Tepper for original music

By their 4th year of medical school, most students have chosen one specialty - one path forward. But what if the career you actually want doesn't fit neatly into a single box? For students drawn to both the fast-paced, undifferentiated world of emergency medicine and the physiology- and pharmacology-driven world of anesthesiology, there was once a fork in the road. Now for some, that fork may not have to exist. In this episode, we explore one of the most unique medical training pathways: combined emergency medicine and anesthesiology residency. What does it look like to train in two specialties at once? How do the two skill sets complement each other, and what kind of career options open up on the other side? To learn about this, we spoke to Dr. David Leon, an anesthesiologist and emergency medicine physician at UC Davis Health in Sacramento, California.Episode produced by: Griffin K JohnsonEpisode recording date: 12/05/2025

In this podcast, we'll discuss how meditation helps calm the nervous system, build resilience, and create space between life's pressures and our reactions to them. We'll look at the science behind why meditation works, dispel commonmyths, and talk about practical ways to integrate it into even the busiest schedules. Whether you're new to meditation or looking to deepen your practice, this conversation hopes to offer insight, encouragement, and realistic strategies for managing stress more effectively. Joining us today is :Dr. Subramaniam directs the Adhguru Center for a Conscious Planet at the Harvard Medical School-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA. The center stands at the intersection of science and spirituality to enhance ourUnderstanding of Consciousness, Cognition, and Compassion through research, education, and outreach efforts. The center's educational conferences, such as the discussions between science and spirituality, have more than 10 millionYouTube views. Dr. Subramaniam is a regular contributor to Psychology Today, exploring topics of stress, well-being, and cognition.  He is a TEDx speaker.  Dr. Subramaniam is a Professor of Anesthesiology at Harvard Medical School and conducts federally funded research on cognitive neuroscience. 

In this World Shared Practice Forum Podcast, Drs. Luregn Schlapbach and Janet Kelly-Geyer discuss the implementation and impact of the Airway, Breathing, Circulation - Plan, Risk, Options (ABC-PRO) handover tool in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. They discuss how a structured, proactive risk assessment during clinical handovers can reduce cardiac arrest rates and improve patient outcomes. They share perspectives on enhancing team situational awareness by anticipating high-risk events, identifying management strategies, and encouraging multidisciplinary participation in anticipatory care. Lastly, they highlight how the ABC-PRO framework advances overall patient safety in critical care settings. LEARNING OBJECTIVES - Understand the ABC-PRO tool's function in reducing cardiac arrests and enhancing safety - Examine bedside team-based discussions around key patient risks during handovers using the ABC-PRO tool - Recognize the significance of interdisciplinary collaboration in patient management - Assess the potential for implementing similar handover improvements in diverse healthcare settings AUTHORS Luregn Schlapbach, MD, PhD Professor in Pediatric Intensive Care, Head of Department of Intensive Care and Neonatology, University Children`s Hospital Zurich Janet Kelly-Geyer, MBChB Senior PICU Consultant University Children's Hospital Zurich Jeffrey Burns, MD, MPH Emeritus Chief Division of Critical Care Medicine Department of Anesthesiology, Critical Care and Pain Medicine Boston Children's Hospital Professor of Anesthesia Harvard Medical School DATE Initial publication date: March 24, 2026.

Michelle Chew is a Professor of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine at Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden, and editor for the British Journal of Anaesthesia. Hear her sharing her Perioperative Profile on TopMedTalk with Andy Cumpstey. After initial anaesthesia training in Denmark, she moved to Lund University, Sweden, combining clinical work and research, later establishing her own experimental haemodynamics group studying septic and haemorrhagic shock and myocardial changes. She balances academic and family life by prioritizing rather than seeking "life balance," noting challenges for women in academia despite Scandinavian support. She explains journal editing—from rapid assessment, literature checks, peer review coordination, to feedback synthesis—and entered the field via the European Journal of Anaesthesiology, later serving at BJA and other journals. She also describes developing clinical guidelines, emphasizing expert panels, systematic reviews, consensus, and local adaptation, with involvement in Scandinavian and European anesthesia societies. Throughout, she highlights lessons from mentors and family, especially her grandmother, stresses taking opportunities and putting in the work, and emphasizes that science and clinical medicine ultimately serve patients. -- Join us at Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) World Congress 2026 in London.
