This podcast was created using NotebookLM. This podcast explores the claim that repeated short-acting nerve blocks can reset central sensitization in chronic pain. Dr. Glenn Clark argues that this idea is unlikely due to the complex neurobiological changes involved in established chronic pain. Research suggests that while nerve blocks can prevent sensitization, they are less effective at reversing it because central sensitization involves receptor modifications, genetic changes, structural remodeling, and glial activation, which are not easily reversed by temporary input blockage. 

Mark Morton Talks Chester Bennington, Solo Album Without The Pain & Lamb Of God's Future On The Loaded Radio Podcast TL;DR: Lamb Of God guitarist Mark Morton joins the Loaded Radio Podcast to talk about his soulful new solo album Without The Pain, collaborating with late Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington, the creative process in Lamb Of God, and his honest thoughts on both current and former bandmates. Mark Morton Unleashes His Blues-Driven Side With Without The Pain Mark Morton isn't just the riff-slinging guitar beast from Lamb Of God. On this week's episode of the Loaded Radio Podcast, the guitarist pulls back the curtain on his newest solo release Without The Pain, a record steeped in blues, southern rock, and emotional depth. Released via Rise Records, Without The Pain features a diverse lineup of guests, including Cody Jinks, Neil Fallon (Clutch), Grace Bowers, Jason Isbell, Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke), and Jaren Johnston (The Cadillac Three). It's a sharp turn from the punishing rhythms of Lamb Of God, yet unmistakably Mark Morton. During the podcast, Morton explains how the album was years in the making, allowing him to fully explore the stylistic roots that shaped his musical identity long before he ever set foot on a metal stage.  Collaborating With Chester Bennington: The Story Behind “Cross Off” One of the most emotionally resonant points of the podcast is Morton's reflection on working with late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington. The two teamed up on “Cross Off,” a standout track from Morton's 2019 debut solo album Anesthetic. Morton opens up about the power of that collaboration — how Bennington brought a raw intensity to the track, and how the session still resonates with him today. Lamb Of God, Sobriety, And Looking Forward Of course, no conversation with Mark Morton is complete without diving into Lamb Of God. In this episode, he shares honest reflections on the band's internal dynamics — both past and present. Morton touches on his long journey with sobriety, how it's impacted his creative process, and how the band's chemistry continues to evolve after more than two decades of making heavy music together. Morton also hints at what's ahead for Lamb Of God, suggesting that while his solo work is a vital creative outlet, there's plenty of fuel left in the fire when it comes to the band's future output.

This AI-generated episode of RAPM Focus discusses the May 2024 publication of “Single-bolus Injection of Local Anesthetic, With or Without Continuous Infusion, for Interscalene Brachial Plexus Block in the Setting of Multimodal Analgesia: A Randomized Controlled Unblinded Trial” by Dr. Patrick Rhyner et al.” For anyone facing shoulder surgery, pain management after the procedure is crucial. In this paper, Rhyner et al. question whether or not a continuous infusion of pain medication through a catheter is better than giving a patient a single injection after having shoulder surgery. The paper discusses a multimodal approach of pain management—dethamexazone, magnesium, acetaminophen, and ketorolac. In this study, patients undergoing two common shoulder surgeries—shoulder arthroplasty or arthroscopic rotator cuff repair—were divided into two groups, in which one group received a continuous infusion of medication via catheters, or a single dose of pain relief. Results were measured by how much morphine patients needed through a patient-controlled analgesia pump during the first 24 hours after surgery. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

It begins with the “stupidest song ever written,” as Robert Altman called it, and ends with a self-referential jab at the very idea of finding comic relief in the tragedy of war. But it is equally unserious, the film “M.A.S.H” seem to suggest, to take seriously the authority of war-making institutions, and their pretense to putting violence in service of an ideal. And so morality succumbs to mockery, love to hedonism, and military rank to the form of authority immanent in the power to save lives. Yet suicide is not in fact painless, if it means robbing others of our presence, or ridding ourselves of the capacities for grief and earnestness. Wes & Erin discuss the 1970 classic “M.A.S.H,” and whether irony ought always to be our anesthetic, when confronted with traumas that are otherwise unspeakable.

In this episode, we are going to shine the spotlight on a species that doesn't always get the limelight on this podcast: the horse! Horses pose a unique challenge for anesthetists, especially when we turn off the vaporizer at the end of anesthesia and ask these rather large animals to stand up while under the influence of medications designed to cause sedation and muscle relaxation. In equine anesthesia, the recovery period is a time of considerable risk and has been the focus of prolific research, with many studies attempting to pinpoint risk factors that increase the risk of adverse events occurring in the recovery period and identify pharmaceutical protocols and recovery techniques that will mitigate these risks. Lucky for us, we have an exceptional guest joining the podcast to delve into this particularly challenging aspect of veterinary anesthesia. Dr. Stuart Clark-Price is a renowned expert in the field, boasting board certifications in both Large Animal Medicine and Anesthesia, and recently ascended to the role of full Professor of Anesthesia at Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine. Together, with host Dr. Bonnie Gatson, we'll explore why recovery from general anesthesia poses such a significant challenge for the horse, shed light on the various risk factors that can increase the likelihood of undesirable recoveries, and share evidence-based recommendations for interventions that can enhance the quality of recovery for equine patients.If you like what you hear, we have a couple of favors to ask of you: Become a member of NAVAS for access to more anesthesia and analgesia educational and RACE-approved CE content.

However, it was not always this way—she started her career in small animal practice with very minimal dentistry knowledge. She was fortunate to have a great mentor in her first job, where she learned a lot and her desire to learn more grew. Once she attended her first Veterinary Dental Forum in 2013, she KNEW dentistry was her passion—and became affectionately known as “Toothy Thomson.” With time and support from her family, friends, colleagues, and a big ‘shove' from her mentor, she applied for a dentistry and oral surgery residency and was overjoyed when she matched at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During her residency, her passion grew not only for dentistry but also for teaching. And because life is always full of surprises, Dr. Thomson found herself at a crossroads in 2020 in the early stages of the pandemic—so she started her own mobile dentistry practice! In addition to working alongside small animal general practice teams, she also became very active online, sharing her knowledge. It has always been important for her to share as much as she can, given it took hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars to obtain the knowledge she did while in general practice. Knowledge she wants to see all veterinary teams have!

Psychedelics are a hot topic in psychiatry today.  They're producing dramatic reversals for patients with severe depression, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. But scientists still have fundamental questions about why these drugs are so effective. For example, is the "trip" even necessary? Some think it is not and are working to design drugs with similar brain chemistry but no psychoactive effects — “Taking the trip out of the drug.” Others suspect that many of the benefits of psychedelics can be attributed to hype and expectation: People expect to get better, so they do. Normally scientists control for placebo using a blinded study where patients don't know if they're getting the real treatment or a sugar pill. But how are you going to do this with mind-altering substances? Patients are probably going to figure out pretty quickly whether they got a sugar cube with or without LSD. Today's guest, Stanford anesthesiologist Boris Heifets, has come up with a particularly clever strategy to tease apart the psychedelic experience, biochemistry, hype and placebo. Listen for the whole story!Learn more:The Heifets Lab at Stanford MedicineDepression, ketamine & anesthesia:Randomized trial of ketamine masked by surgical anesthesia in patients with depression (Nature 2023 - paywall)Ketamine's effect on depression may hinge on hope (Stanford Medicine, 2023)Anesthetic dreams and trauma recovery:Case report 1: dreaming & knife attack (A & A Practice, 2022 - paywall)Case report 2: dreaming & PTSD (American Journal of Psychiatry, 2024)Could anesthesia-induced dreams wipe away trauma?

Selected Key Takeaways: Exercise as part of your daily lifestyle  34:42 “Exercising as part of a lifestyle means that if you do it, you're not rewarded. There's no reward for doing something as part of your lifestyle and if you don't do it, there's no punishment - you're not sent to the naughty corner. So, for example, I have a lifestyle of brushing my teeth. I don't tweet about it. I don't make YouTube videos about it. I don't even talk about it when I get to work. It's just something I do every morning and if I happen to forget to brush my teeth before I head off to the office, I'll run upstairs and do it. This is part of my lifestyle. So, I need people impacted by MS to exercise as part of their lifestyle.” Plan your day to minimise symptoms like heat intolerance 39:43 “We can conserve energy during those times when it's really hot out. Whereas I would normally encourage a patient to park at the back of the parking lot to get their steps in. If it's the middle of the day, [walking that far is] going to sap all your energy so that when you get to the grocery store you can't shop, that doesn't really work very well, does it? And so that's an example where we would have someone drop us off at the threshold of the grocery store so that you can be successful in your shopping.” Be brave in using mobility aids and seeking accommodations. 57:27 “I tell people who are embarrassed by their cane, ‘Don't you dare be embarrassed by your cane, a cane is a sign of intelligence.' A person with a cane would like to not fall. So, when a little boy is walking with [his] mum, and says, ‘Mummy, why is she using a cane?' That's an opportunity for the mother to say, ‘Well, she doesn't want to fall, she has a problem with her leg and the cane helps her.' It normalises it. So, one of the things that we need to do is to be brave. I'll remind you of the definition of bravery, ‘doing something despite being scared'. The second thing is, I want you to be very selfish. You need to be selfish; you live your life once. You're not living your life so some stranger, you don't know, thinks nice polite things about you.” Want to learn more about living a full and happy life with multiple sclerosis? Sign up to our newsletter to hear our latest tips.

Oral surgeon James Ryan, 50, has been found guilty of murder for the death of his 25-year-old girlfriend, Sarah Harris. The verdict was reached on Friday after a three-hour deliberation by the jury.  The case revolved around the death of Sarah Harris, who was discovered lifeless at Ryan's Maryland home in January 2022. An autopsy revealed that Harris had died due to intoxication caused by a mixture of ketamine, propofol, and diazepam - powerful anesthetic drugs. Prosecutors alleged that Ryan displayed "an extreme indifference" to Harris' life by providing her with these dangerous substances despite her deteriorating health and addiction struggles. At the time of her death, Harris weighed a mere 83 pounds.  Court documents and testimony indicated that Ryan had set up an intravenous stand to administer these addictive drugs to Harris. A search of their home uncovered multiple bottles of the controlled substances, along with hypodermic needles, syringes, and related paraphernalia.  Investigators also brought to light text messages between the couple, where Harris explicitly requested various controlled substances from Ryan's dental practice. The text exchanges revealed that Ryan had been facilitating an at-home drug delivery system for Harris, including the provision of IV poles, saline solution, fluids, and needles.  Harris had first crossed paths with Ryan in the fall of 2020 when she sought oral surgery services at his practice. Their relationship evolved as Harris was subsequently employed as a surgical technician due to her prior experience in the field. The prosecution argued that Ryan, being a skilled oral surgeon well-aware of the risks involved, had deliberately supplied Harris with these dangerous substances, contributing to her gradual decline.  Throughout the trial, Ryan's defense maintained that Harris' death was either a result of suicide or an accidental overdose that she administered to herself. Defense attorney Thomas DeGonia pointed to Harris' history of requesting ketamine for relief from depression and the recent death of her brother. DeGonia argued that these factors could have contributed to her tragic end.  Ryan chose not to testify during his trial, and the jury ultimately rejected the defense's arguments, finding him guilty on all counts.  Ryan's sentencing date remains to be determined, and he could potentially face up to 55 years behind bars.

August 24: Today on TownHall we are looking back at a TownHall episode from May of last year. In this episode, Jake Lancaster, Chief Medical Information Officer at Baptist Memorial Health Care interviewed Priya Ramaswamy, MD, Clinical Informatics Fellow/Anesthesiologist at UCSF. What is sustainable healthcare informatics? Not just in the US but across the globe, healthcare organizations are taking a stance to make a healthier ecosystem for people. Anesthetic gasses have damaging effects on the environment that contribute to global warming. The government is going to start requiring all organizations, including hospitals and healthcare systems to report on their admissions. What technology did UCSF develop within their Epic EHR to help with this? What are the elements needed to develop a clinical decision support alert system to remind anesthesia providers to turn down their fresh gas?As healthcare technology professionals, we're in a seismic shift. Artificial Intelligence is not just a buzzword—it's transforming our field and altering how we deliver healthcare. But with these technological advancements come complex challenges and unique opportunities. Are you ready to navigate this new landscape?

Acne might just be unmatched as an aesthetic concern for how visible and traumatizing it can be for patients. Yet truly significant improvements in acne treatments have been hard to come by. As Cutera SVP Steve Kreider notes in this interview with Dr. Grant Stevens, "I've been selling acne products for 17 years, and the standard of care hasn't fundamentally changed."Except that Cutera itself has now changed the game with AviClear, a laser treatment that offers a safe, prescription-free solution for acne. In addition to reducing existing acne, clinical trials show that future breakout episodes are shorter, less intense, and more infrequent following the AviClear procedure. Further, acne clearance results continue to improve over time, demonstrating the long-term efficacy of this novel treatment. Join us as Dr. Stevens explores all the details of this groundbreaking laser device, along with breaking news about a recent FDA clearance for AviClear, all on the latest episode of The Technology of Beauty.Show Notes:00:00 Intro00:27 Background06:53 Arrival at Cutera08:50 Treating acne with light-based technology09:47 Breaking news!11:54 Monotherapy vs. multi-factoral treatments13:24 Procedure description, patient comfort, recovery16:07 Off-face?
