Send us a textThis week we bring back our friend and friend of the show, Dr. Ashish S. Patel! Dr. Patel takes us on a global journey through the evolving landscape of pediatric inflammatory bowel disease treatment, revealing contrasts between approaches across continents and highlighting gaps in how new medications reach children.While adult IBD patients have benefited from an explosion of treatment options over the last two decades, children remain limited primarily to anti-TNF biologics as their only FDA-approved options. This forces physicians to fight insurance battles for access to newer medications or enroll patients in clinical trials that come years too late. "We have to bring evaluation of these medications to pediatrics concurrently with adult populations," Dr. Patel explains, sharing how advocacy efforts aim to shift this paradigm.The conversation takes a fascinating turn when comparing treatment philosophies worldwide. At the World Congress in Buenos Aires, nutritional therapy, probiotics, and dietary interventions dominated discussions—a striking contrast to North American conferences featuring pharmaceutical companies. This reveals how resource availability shapes medical approaches, with Latin American physicians developing expertise in nutritional interventions while North American practices focus on biologics.Dr. Patel's most hopeful insights come from current research aiming to personalize treatment based on a patient's unique profile. Studies collecting genetic information, microbiome data, and environmental exposures may eventually allow doctors to determine the optimal intervention—whether medication, diet modification, or environmental change—for each child at diagnosis. "In the near future, at least for certain types of IBD, we're talking about something that's curative rather than just therapeutic," he shares, offering hope that we're moving beyond symptom management toward addressing root causes.Join us for this eye-opening conversation that challenges conventional thinking about how we research, develop, and implement treatments for one of medicine's most complex childhood conditions.Links: ImproveCareNowNorth American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition (NASPGHAN)Let's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

The first days of the COVID pandemic feel like a movie looking back: we watched in horror as the virus ravaged China, Italy, and Iran - and wondered if we would be next. Now, five years later, we know what happened: the economy suffered from a prolonged shutdown, more than one million Americans died, and political polarization reached an all-time high. One person leading us through the chaos was physician Ashish Jha, the Dean of the Brown School of Public Health. He was a regular contributor to TV and radio news throughout the pandemic, and later worked for the Biden White House on COVID policy. This week on Say More, Ashish offers a mea culpa, saying health experts failed the public during the pandemic. He says they need to learn from their mistakes, because the next pandemic is around the corner. Email us at saymore@globe.com. To read Ahish Jha's latest article in the Boston Globe, click here.

At 59, having acted in over 350 films in 11 languages, I still get asked, "Have you left movies?" or "Why are you not seen in films anymore?" Here's something I want to share with you all. I have traveled far and wide, and explored the ever-expanding world of cinema & social media, you'd think I've seen it all. But the truth is, I'm hungry—hungry for more roles, new experiences, and deeper connections. Every day, I ask myself, “What's next?” Life is an evolving canvas, isn't it? We carry dreams that once defined us—like my dream of visiting Machu Picchu or making my own film. Yet, while some dreams remain unrealized, countless unexpected treasures have unfolded in their place. These hidden gems remind us that the magic of life lies not just in chasing our old dreams but in staying present to the new ones that emerge along the way. In this podcast, I'll share how I navigate life's twists and turns, balancing stand-up comedy, vlogging, motivational speaking, and acting. It's not about juggling; it's about being present in the moment and finding fulfillment in the things that inspire us. Yes, challenges are part of the deal. There are moments when life feels overwhelming, when too many things seem to hold us back. But here's the key: it's not the external circumstances that limit us—it's how we interpret them. By rewiring that internal translator, we can turn obstacles into stepping stones and possibilities into realities.This conversation is just the beginning of a deeper exploration into doing more with your life—living it fully, authentically, and with joy. Let me know in the comments - What inspires you? What's holding you back? Let's start a dialogue, because every step towards the life you dream of begins with a thought, an idea, and the courage to act. Your journey inspires me as much as I hope mine inspires you. If this resonates, don't forget to like, share, and follow on this journey.Let's unlock those hidden opportunities together, my friend. With love and warmth, Ashish Vidyarthi Alshukran Bandhu,Alshukran Zindagi.-----------Subscribe and be a part of My YouTube Family ️️ Ashish Vidyarthi Podcast - / @ashishvidyarthipodcast ️ Ashish Vidyarthi Actor Vlogs - / ashishvidyarthiactorvlogs ️ Food Khaana With Ashish Vidyarthi - / foodkhaanawithashishvidyarthi ️ Anbudan Ashish Vidyarthi - / anbudanashishvidyarthi ️ KAHAANI KHATARNAAK GOI WITH ASHISH VIDYARTHI - / kahaanikhatarnaakgoibyashishvidyarthi Press the bell icon to be the first one to get notified each time I upload a new video.--------Come, be a part of my online family : https://linktr.ee/Ashishvidyarthiअगर आपको मेरे वीडियो पसंद आए हैं तो कृपया सब्सक्राइब करें Iमेरे साथ जुड़ें, मेरे ऑनलाइन परिवार का हिस्सा बनें : https://linktr.ee/Ashishvidyarthi--------About: Namaskar, I am Ashish Vidyarthi.

Bureaucratic Archaeology: State, Science and Past in Postcolonial India (Cambridge UP, 2022) presents a novel ethnographic examination of archaeological practice within postcolonial India, focusing on the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) as a site where scientific knowledge production intersects with state bureaucracy. Through granular analysis of ASI's quotidian operations, this monograph demonstrates how archaeological micro-practices materially influence the construction of political and religious identities, while simultaneously serving as empirical evidence in India's highest judicial proceedings. This unprecedented study illuminates the epistemological ecology of postcolonial knowledge production from within the bureaucratic apparatus itself. As the first book-length investigation of archaeological practice beyond the Euro-American tradition, it reveals how non-Western archaeological theory and methodology generate distinct forms of knowledge, thereby expanding our understanding of archaeology's role in postcolonial state formation. About the Author: Ashish Avikunthak is a distinguished scholar working at the intersection of archaeology, cultural anthropology, and avant-garde filmmaking. He is Professor of Film Media at the University of Rhode Island's Harrington School of Communication, where his research bridges theoretical and practical approaches to cultural production. His experimental films have been exhibited internationally at prestigious institutions including Tate Modern, Centre Georges Pompidou, and Pacific Film Archive, as well as major film festivals such as Rotterdam and Locarno.
