Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is a rare vascular condition where abnormal connections (fistulas) form between branches of arteries and veins in the dura mater, the brain's covering. The dural arteries deliver high-pressure, oxygen-rich blood to the brain, while the dural veins return deoxygenated, low-pressure blood to the heart. DAVF causes high-pressure arterial blood to flow into veins or sinuses meant for low-pressure blood, which can lead to ruptures, brain hemorrhages, and other neurological issues.Meet Dr. Aditya (Adi) Iyer, a board-certified, fellowship-trained neurosurgeon specializing in vascular diseases of the brain and spine at Pacific Neuroscience Institute®.

In dieser Folge unterhalten sich Peter Ache und Robert Krägenbring über den Einsatz von Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) und Automated Valuation Models (AVMs) in der Immobilienbewertung. Seit ihrer letzten Diskussion zu diesem Thema hat sich einiges getan. Peter betont: »KI ist gekommen, um zu bleiben.« Die beiden Hosts diskutieren, wie neue Technologien oft auf Skepsis stoßen, bevor sie breite Akzeptanz finden – ein Phänomen, das bei der Einführung vieler anderer bahnbrechender Technologien beobachtet wurde. Auf der Ebene der International Federation of Surveyors (FIG) wird global darüber nachgedacht, wie KI sinnvoll in der Immobilienbewertung eingesetzt werden kann. Ein bevorstehender internationaler Workshop zum Thema AVM bietet Anlass für eine vertiefte Diskussion im aktuellen Podcast. AVMs sind computergestützte Systeme, die mathematische Modelle und Algorithmen verwenden, um den Wert von Immobilien zu schätzen. Sie nutzen umfangreiche Datenbanken mit Informationen über Immobilienpreise, Standortdaten, Immobilienmerkmale und Markttrends aus Quellen wie öffentlichen Aufzeichnungen und Immobilienportalen. Moderne AVMs setzen fortschrittliche Algorithmen und KI-Techniken wie maschinelles Lernen ein, um präzisere und zuverlässigere Bewertungen zu liefern. Diese Algorithmen analysieren historische Daten und identifizieren Muster, die bei der Bewertung von Immobilien helfen. Die Vorteile von AVMs liegen auf der Hand. Sie liefern schnelle Bewertungen und beschleunigen den Bewertungsprozess erheblich. Zudem bieten automatisierte Modelle objektive Bewertungen, da sie nicht von subjektiven Meinungen beeinflusst werden. Dabei geht es auch um maschinelle Lernverfahren wie Random Forest, das sowohl für Klassifikations- als auch für Regressionsaufgaben verwendet werden kann. Peter und Robert erörtern die Chancen, die KI und AVMs bieten, sowie die Risiken und Grenzen dieser Technologien. Sie geben den Zuhörerinnen und Zuhörern eine Vorstellung von den Funktionsweisen und Anwendungen von AVMs. Erfahren Sie mehr über die aktuellen Entwicklungen und wie diese Technologien die Immobilienbewertung revolutionieren könnten. Abschließend appellieren die Gastgeber erneut, dass Deutschland bei der Digitalisierung aufholen muss, um international wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben.

Today, I'm interviewing Dr. Mark Burish on cluster headache, which is part of the April 2024 Continuum issue on headache. Dr Burish is an Associate Professor of Neurology at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, which is located in Houston, Texas. Mark, thanks so much for joining me today on Continuum Audio. I was really excited to be asked to talk with you about this article. When I recertified from my boards the last time (and actually, it will be the last time I have to take the exam), I did the AAN course on all of neurology. And I'm a neuromuscular guy, right, and so I was actually kind of worried about the headache part because I thought, “How interesting could that be?” And I was blown away at how fascinating headache has become, and in particular, your topic (cluster, SUNCT, SUNA, the trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias) - such a great topic. But before we start talking about them, I'd love to just hear more about how you got interested in this area - both headache, this topic in particular. What's your story, Mark? Dr Burish: Well, thank you very much for having me. I'm honored to be part of this. I got into headache probably the way many people do; is, in residency, you figure out what you like, and your residency clinic tends to start collecting patients that you like (not that you're trading them with other residents, but you see certain patients). And mine (by the end of residency) had a lot of headache and pain patients into it. Then, I was very fortunate and had the opportunity to do some research as part of my career. I'm an MD-PhD, and I spend about half my time now doing research on cluster headaches, so I'm very fascinated by these types of diseases. Dr Smith: Can you tell us really briefly what you're working on in your research? Dr Burish: Cluster headache is such a poorly researched area. There's not a lot of people in it, so we do a little bit of everything: we have a clinical trial going; we do some basic science on the circadian mechanisms (cluster gets this very weird timing to it, where the headaches happen same time every day); and we do a little bit of starting to wade into the genetics. Dr Smith: Well, super exciting. I was actually blown away by the statistics on cluster (as common as multiple sclerosis), and the severity of pain I was amazed to learn is above that of childbirth (it was, like, between nine and ten out of ten, which is really crazy). And I'm worried that I missed these patients in my neuromuscular clinic. So, maybe we can begin by - just tell us what you think our listeners need to know. If they have to drop off right now, what message do they need to remember from our conversation? Dr Burish: I think there's two things. First of all, the first-line treatments for these headaches have not changed recently. For cluster headache, you still treat it with oxygen, the triptans (the faster triptans; not the oral ones, but the injectables and nasals), and you prevent them with verapamil. For SUNCT and SUNA, you use lamotrigine. So, those have not changed over time. There are some new treatments, which we'll talk about later. Then the second point is, there are four different types of headaches in this family and they all look very, very similar (one-sided pain, autonomic features, ipsilateral lacrimation, rhinorrhea - that type of thing). They differ in the treatments and how long they last. If you get them wrong (if you misdiagnose them), you're probably not going to give them correct treatment. Indomethacin works very well for two of them (the ones with hemicrania in the name, so not the ones we're going to discuss today). And then SUNCT, SUNA, and cluster headache - indomethacin does not work very well. So, it's important to distinguish them and get them right. Dr Smith: Maybe we can start there, Mark. I mean, I was kind of appalled to learn that the average delay in diagnosis is four to nine years in your article, and given the severity of pain and the impact it has on these patients, that's clearly a challenge. What's so hard about this? And do you have pearls on how we can recognize these patients? And how do you sort this out practically in clinic? Dr Burish: For cluster headache patients especially, it is a lot more common than we would think it is, but it still goes misdiagnosed, partly because most cluster headache patients are episodic. So, there's an episodic version where you get them every day for a few weeks and then they might go away for a year. So, I think what happens is that patients start to get into a cycle and they either get confused for sinusitis (because it happens in the spring), or they schedule a visit with a neurologist or somebody else, but the headaches are over by the time they see them, and they cancel the visit. So, I think they get misdiagnosed partly because it's either confused or they don't see doctors fast enough. I think a little bit more awareness of what this disease is and then, somehow, a mechanism to get these patients in a little bit more urgently is probably what's necessary. Dr Smith: Well, Mark, access is a real issue in neurology more broadly, and I'd love to talk to you about that in a moment, but I wonder if we could go back. You talked about how similar these are to one another, yet the treatments are different. How do you sort out the diagnosis when you're seeing a patient? Let's say you have someone who comes in who has episodic, unilateral, very severe pain and some of these autonomic features. What are the pearls for differentiating cluster, SUNCT, and SUNA from each other? Dr Burish: The big difference between all these different headaches is the timing. As a general rule, SUNCT and SUNA attacks last seconds (they're very similar to trigeminal neuralgia); paroxysmal hemicrania (that's one of the hemicrania ones, where indomethacin helps) - those attacks last minutes; cluster headache attacks last about an hour; and the hemicrania continua is constant (that's the other hemicrania one where indomethacin works). The other part is how often they happen. Again, SUNCT and SUNA - very similar to trigeminal neuralgia, may happen hundreds of times a day; paroxysmal hemicrania - dozens of times a day; cluster headache - maybe a handful of times; and then, hemicrania is constant. Based on how long the attacks are and how frequent the attacks are, you can generally separate them out. And if you're not sure, just try indomethacin. And then if it doesn't work, you're trying to distinguish between SUNCT and SUNA, which lasts seconds, and cluster headache, which lasts an hour, so fairly easy to distinguish those. Dr Smith: How long does it take to medicine to work in a patient with hemicrania continua or paroxysmal hemicrania? I'll remind our listeners - there's a separate article in the same issue of Continuum on that topic - but for our purposes, let's say you try that; how long do you need to try it? Dr Burish: Yeah, there's a great, another article about how much to give and how it works. It is generally pretty quick. I have noticed with most patients that the onset is twenty-four to forty-eight hours. And then, if you stop the medicine, the same thing - offset is kind of twenty-four to forty-eight hours. So, patients know pretty quick whether it's going to work. Dr Smith: Wow - that's awesome. One of the things I was interested in was so-called “secondary cluster.” So, you've seen your patient and let's say you've diagnosed them with cluster (primary cluster). Do you do additional testing? Do they need imaging or other laboratory workup? Dr Burish: Yeah. The differential for cluster (and cluster is the one that we know the most about; it is the most common of all the trigeminal autonomic cephalalgias) - it's a fascinating differential. If you don't know much about them, migraine is probably the most common. If you do know a lot about them, hemicrania continua and paroxysmal hemicrania are very common. But there's all these secondary headaches that can look identical to cluster headache; these pituitary hormone-secreting tumors (prolactinomas) - things like that. So, because all these other secondary causes can happen, they generally recommend everybody gets an MRI of the brain, with or without contrast. If that is normal and the patients continue to not respond to the medicines like you expect them to (verapamil doesn't work, oxygen doesn't work, and so forth), then you might do some additional testing for pituitary bloodwork. So, just kind of a panel of hormones, looking at blood vessels (because there are some cases that dissections or AVMs can cause cluster headaches). And then sometimes get imaging of the apex of the lung because there's some data that - with the Horner syndrome - that that might be relevant. Dr Smith: I'll refer our listeners to your article, just in general, because they really need to read it. It's fantastic. But your discussion about the neuroanatomy is really cool, and probably more than we want to get into right now, but the intersection of the neuroanatomy with therapeutics, and some of these other potential etiologies. So, one thing I was really amazed by (or appalled by, frankly) was the frequency with which these patients have suicidal ideation, given the severity of the pain and, I assume, the long time it often takes to get this sorted out. How do you handle that in clinic? Do you have conversations with people about this? How often do you appreciate it? And any words of wisdom for those of us who might encounter these patients? Dr Burish: Yeah. It's not hard to imagine why patients would be suicidal with this. When you have pain that is a ten out of ten - and patients who have also had childbirth and cluster, they consider childbirth more around a seven - so you can imagine how painful this is and what thoughts might be going through people's heads. It tends to be (in my personal experience and some emerging data) that they are suicidal during a cycle. So, for these episodic patients (most patients are episodic with cluster headache for a few weeks), they are suicidal during those weeks. And when the headaches go away, much less risk of suicide. So, during the cycle, I try to get my patients in as fast as possible, get the medications in as fast as possible, but basically just be there to let them know that we have options, and so that they consider me as their first option, rather than something darker. Dr Smith: How successful is first-line therapy in these patients and what's your success rate with your initial attempt at treatment? Dr Burish: On the acute side, the as-needed medicines (sumatriptan, oxygen) - if you give an injection (not the oral; that takes too long) - incredibly effective; for most patients, one or both of those will work. We usually prescribe both because the injections - usually you can't get that many (they can be quite expensive, realistically speaking). But also, just practically speaking, patients can have headaches up to eight times a day and you're not really supposed to be taking sumatriptan eight times a day, so we also give oxygen (but then again, oxygen is not very portable, so that's where the sumatriptan comes in). On the preventive side - not great. There's been some studies suggest maybe fifty percent is as good as any preventive is going to work for you, and that's not considering side effects and other things that patients might stop them. So, we do need to have a few different preventive options and you may have to go through a few different things. Chronic cluster headache (which is the more rare version, where patients have them year-round) is anecdotally much more refractory to treatment. Dr Smith: Can you talk a little bit about bridge therapy? You differentiate bridge from prophylactic therapy in your article. Dr Burish: Yeah. When you're approaching one of these patients - let's say they're completely naive to any medications - usually we will give them a couple of as-needed, acute medications (sumatriptan injections and oxygen). We'll give them a preventive like verapamil, but the verapamil takes a few weeks to kick in. So, the obvious question is, “What am I supposed to do in the meantime, while you're ramping it up and it's kicking in?” So, we use these short-term preventives, which we call bridge therapies or transitional therapies. These are short-acting preventives; they kick in quick, but you can't take them for very long. The most common by far is prednisone. Or an occipital nerve block with some sort of steroid (so, steroids in some sort of fashion). We will usually give them right at the beginning of a cycle (right at the beginning of a flare for chronic cluster headache patients) while we are uptitrating something like verapamil. Dr Smith: This may be a really silly question, but the next time I see one of these folks and I want to start oxygen, how do I do it? What are the logistics of giving someone oxygen for this, and how do patients navigate that, right? If you're having eight attacks a day during a cluster and you work as a nurse in the headache clinic, you probably have oxygen there. But you get where I'm going, right? - it's logistically challenging. How do you order it, and do you have words of wisdom to make it easier for patients to use? Dr Burish: There's a whole kind of system of oxygen, durable medical equipment - stuff that I've had to learn. To boil it down, there are basically two types of oxygen. There's a concentrator - kind of just a machine that takes room air and turns it into about ten percent oxygen - that is sometimes effective for patients. But sometimes ten liters per minute (which is the highest that can give) is not enough and you need fifteen liters per minute. In that case, you need an oxygen tank (the big metal cylinders that you see with a extra device on top called a regulator, that can crank it up to fifteen liters a minute. For both of these - fifteen liters a minute - you're going to need a mask. The nasal canula is just - it doesn't get up to fifteen; it's not going to be enough, so we give you this bag mask (the non-rebreather mask, or the bag hanging out below it). You really need high dose, pure oxygen for these things to work, so you have to write orders that say, “fifteen liters a minute, with regulator and non-rebreather mask.” Dr Smith: I'll refer our listeners to your Continuum article. I know a lot of our listeners use Continuum at point of care. And, of course, you can access it electronically, so there's really great pearls there. Another question for you: CGRP agents have really transformed migraine; what role do they play, if any, in management of these headaches (cluster, SUNCT, and SUNA)? Dr Burish: I think this is a fascinating emerging area of cluster headache research. One of the studies in the last three years came out that it was successful for episodic cluster headache, called galcanezumab, and it did not work for chronic cluster headache. Meanwhile, a couple other CGRP companies have tried them and they were unsuccessful, at least according to the data on ClinicalTrials.gov. And some other CGRP studies are still emerging. We know that both migraine and cluster headache work on the trigeminal system (I mean, this is a trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia - it's in the name) and CGRP is involved in the trigeminal system. That's probably where the commonality between migraine and cluster headache come from - they both work on the same pain system. But why all of them seem to work for migraine and only some of them – you know, some of these medicines work for cluster headache - is a fascinating thing. Does that mean that we don't have the dose right? Does that mean that we don't have the timing of these clinical trials right? Does that mean it's just not as effective? And there's other things that are involved in cluster headache - it's an interesting mechanism that we can start to explore. Dr Smith: I wanted to learn more about the circadian aspects of this - I found that really interesting, and you commented that you're interested in that in a research perspective. Can you describe that phenomena a little bit and just tell us what your thoughts are? Dr Burish: The interesting thing about cluster headaches, specifically, is that the headaches happen, for most patients, the exact same time every day – so, within an hour each day. So, my patient usually will say, “They're at two AM.” Across different time zones, every study that's been done - well, not every study, but many studies have been done - two AM is the most common time of day. But if you ask an individual patient, patient number one will say, “They happen every day at two AM; patient number two will say, “They happen every day at three in the afternoon.” I had a patient who was, I think, kind of getting fed up with all the questions I was asking about his headaches, and he said, “Dr Burish, it's three o'clock; if you want to wait until three fifteen, I'm going to get a headache - you can see what it's like.” That's how sure he was about when the headaches were going to happen. And other than maybe hypnic headache, there are a few other headaches that have that level of circadian predictability. So, it's just an odd, curious, unique thing to these headaches and we don't quite understand why yet. Dr Smith: So, I'm curious if the time of day patients get their headaches is in any way correlated with other aspects of sleep phenotype, right? There's broad variability in your sleep phase - the length of it, when it starts and ends. Is there any relationship, in your experience, between the time of day (two AM, ten PM) and other aspects of their sleep? Dr Burish: We haven't seen that, to my knowledge. People have looked, for example, at sleep studies while patients are having attacks. These attacks occur out of REM sleep, non-REM sleep - it doesn't seem to matter. Anecdotally, patients will say, “My cycle last year - I had headaches every day at two AM. But my cycle this year - I have headaches every day at five in the afternoon.” So, even a same patient who, theoretically, is not having big sleep changes over different years, has different timing of attacks. Dr Smith: Mark, what's the latest thing? What's most exciting in the field that you can tell our listeners about? Dr Burish: There are a lot of new treatments for cluster headache. There's the galcanezumab, which we discussed a little bit. There is a new dose for prednisone. We weren't sure how effective it was; now we're using kind of neuroimmunology-level doses of prednisone (100 milligrams daily; kind of titrating down from there). And then there's an occipital nerve stimulator for the chronic cluster headache patients. Since the last Continuum review on this topic, these three trials have been successful, and I think what gets lost is how impressive each one of these is in different ways. The prednisone study is impressive because you had to study that medicine (which we thought worked but didn't have a good clinical trial), and it's really hard to enroll patients in a placebo-controlled study where you already think it works. Another was done by a large pharmaceutical company. This is not an advertisement for or against, but these companies have rarely ventured into studying cluster headache until recently. The third study, the stimulator study, was a ten-year, multisite study involving surgeons and neurologists - just a monumental effort. It's because of these impressive studies that we now have data on how to treat the patient. Dr Smith: Just so interesting. I tell you what - I mean, if you told me twenty years ago I would be this interested in headache, I would have said, “You're crazy.” But now I see why our residents are so interested in it and why you are. This is fascinating. I could keep going for another hour or two asking you questions, Mark, but maybe we can pivot back to where we began. You told us your story about enriching your resident clinic - and for those residents listening, those are words of wisdom right there, my friend. But here's my question for you: we've already talked about access to care and how you manage access for these patients, but we have a huge access issue in neurology broadly and we desperately need more neurologists. As you're probably aware, there are some of our colleagues that don't think pain is neurology (I'm not one of them, but I know some of them and respect them otherwise). If there's an access issue for neurology, there's a access crisis for pain neurologists. And you don't just see headache, as I understand it; you see other patients with pain. So, I want to give you the last few minutes of our Continuum Audio episode to do your pitch, right? What do you have to say to the residents that are listening to us (or students) about why you find managing pain so rewarding and why they should consider this as a field? Dr Burish: Yes - I also did a fellowship in pain medicine, in addition to my headache research, so I see a little bit of both. For me, the patients are very appreciative because you are talking with them about what they are interested in. They are not interested in the change in the MRI between last time - I mean, they are interested in it, but not as much as, “I hurt today.” So, patients are more than happy - they're very grateful that you are addressing their primary concern, the thing that they're going home with that day that they're worried about. For me, seeing these patients has been very rewarding. From the research side. I think it's fascinating that there's just not enough research in this area - you can create your own niche; you can look into your own mechanisms - there's just not a lot of people in this field. And then, I think from a clinical side, other than the rewarding nature of it, there's a lot of options that we have. There's all of these neuropathic medications; there's all these different headache medications. If you want to wade into the procedural side of things (which I did with pain management), you can get into fluoro-guided procedures and spinal cord stimulators and all these different options that we have for these patients that help them, in addition to whatever they're going through. I have patients that then come back and say, “Well, by the way, I have these seizures; do you mind helping me kind of just go through my antiepileptics.” And they're generally well controlled and they consider me kind of a general neurologist for them. So, I've found it extremely rewarding and I wouldn't do anything different. Dr Smith: Well, that's really great information and I hope our resident listeners will take that to heart. Your article is truly amazing, Mark. I can't tell you how much I was impressed with it, and for our listeners - you gotta check it out. I've got a list of ten other things on my piece of paper here I could ask Mark about, but I think we're probably at time. So, Mark, thank you so much. Congratulations on an amazing article and really fascinating and exciting area of neurology. Dr Burish: Thank you. Thank you very much for having me. Dr Smith: Again, today we've been interviewing Dr Mark Burish whose article on cluster headache - appears in the most recent issue of Continuum, which is on headache.

Automated Valuation Models, or AVMs, are computer algorithms that use various data points and statistical models to estimate the value of a property. These models consider factors such as property characteristics, location, historical sales data, market trends, and other relevant information. The result is an automated property valuation report, providing an estimated property value without the need for a human appraiser. Today, We have Allan Weiss, Co-Founder of Case-Schiller index share how they created AVM in property valuation.
Moyamoya disease is a rare neurovascular condition that can affect both children and adults and is caused by progressive narrowing or blockage of the major blood vessels supplying the brain.The result is a lack of necessary blood flow to the brain, which can cause stroke, mini-stroke (TIA – transient ischemic attack) or bleeding into the brain. Numerous tiny vessels develop around the blockage in an attempt to compensate for the lowered blood flow, leading to a smoky appearance of these vessels on imaging. This smoky appearance is what gives the disease its name, as “moyamoya” means puff of smoke in Japanese.Aditya (Adi) Iyer MD, MS, is a fellowship-trained neurosurgeon with a focus on vascular diseases of the brain and spine at Pacific Neuroscience Institute. As one of California's few dual-trained neurosurgeons, Dr. Iyer is able to offer both minimally invasive open surgical techniques as well as incisionless catheter based procedures to treat patients with strokes, aneurysms, AVMs, tumors and pain.
To have a podcast on The Cost Approach and USPAP. How exciting (not)! You're right. This is not exactly the conversation you'll have when you get together with friends. Even if those friends are other appraisers! But the point is the cost approach is an untapped resource. It is the sunshine to which appraisers typically do not expose their analytics. This is a shame, really, since this approach can tell us so much about the quality of our analytics via the other approaches. How so? We all know that in older neighborhoods, there are likely to be few vacant site sales. This is where we appraisers can put the cost approach and USPAP to good use. This absence of data makes adjusting for site differences such as size, view, access, shape, etc. difficult to extract from the market. But you can use improved sales data to extract comparable site values. That takes a little practice and training, true, but once you master that protocol, life as an appraiser becomes easier. And, reports go out the door a little faster. Who doesn't want to produce more reports, thus greater cash-flow, right? And what are the advantages to appraisers who understand the cost approach and USPAP? More than you think, frankly! But the eye-opener is that as we come to understand the cost approach, then begin to use it properly, our clients are less motivated to hire AVMs and BPOs. Therefore, they are more prone to hire us, since we provide services and insights that the other tools simply cannot. So mastering the cost approach should not be a chore. Instead, let's look at it as the opportunity to become even more indispensable. Let's seize the opportunity to become even more professional than we are today!
Our last Podcast before Christmas A real light-hearted start to the Podcast this week as we discuss Christmas preparations, family, and favorite Christmas television.Our guest this week is Shirley Willsher, Shirley has had two major health events in her life, the first being Arteriovenous malformation (AVM's) and a few years later a Heart attack.Shirley openly and honestly tells us how the onset of ATV put her in a six-day Coma, had major surgery, and dealt with recovery. An unexpected turn of events that all came early one normal morning while at the gym. Following her recovery, a few years later Shirley suffered a heart attack one morning family gathered around to help, and was again rushed into hospital for surgery the very same day. Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) happen when a group of blood vessels in your body forms incorrectly. In these malformations, arteries and veins are unusually tangled and form direct connections, bypassing normal tissues. This usually happens during development before birth or shortly after.During a heart attack, a lack of blood flow causes the tissue in the heart muscle to die. A heart attack is also called a myocardial infarction. Prompt treatment is needed for a heart attack to prevent death.We of course cannot finish our Podcast this week without "Martin's Joke of the Week"In closing, we discuss our next show and what we have lined up and of course wish everyone a happy Christmas.#HeartTransplant#EbsteinsAnomaly#RareCondition#HealthJourney#LifeChangingDiagnosis#MentalHealth#Vulnerability#SelfCompassion#PostTraumaticGrowth#MedicalMiracle#BBCSports#Inspiration#Cardiology#Surgery#Podcast#Healthcare#HeartHealth#MedicalBreakthrough#EmotionalJourney#SupportSystem#HealthcareHeroes#PatientStories#CardiologyCare#MedicalJourney#LifeLessons#MentalWellness#HealthAwareness#InspirationalTalk#LivingWithIllness#RareDiseaseAwareness#SharingIsCaring#MedicalSupport#BBCReporter#HeartDisease#PodcastInterview#HealthTalk#Empowerment#Wellbeing#HealthPodcast#ChronicIllnessCheck out our new website at www.whostomanddick.com

One of the most important aspects of being a medical professional is reviewing your past cases (especially those involving complications) and studying public records of complications so that you are constantly improving the quality of care that you provide to your patients. To help us further explore this topic, we are joined once again by the Medical Director of Blue Cross, North Carolina, Dr. Ben Hechler. Our first case is about a middle-aged male who experienced laryngospasms after receiving anaesthesia and ultimately, passed away. Dr. Ben hones in on the main learning points from this case including the safety of sedation, common ailments that are often overlooked, and how he would treat laryngospasms. After briefly touching on the importance of being aware of EMS response times in your area, we get into our second case regarding a patient who received a $2.7 million settlement after being negligently operated on for an arterio-venous malformation (AVM). Dr. Ben describes the clinical findings that are common to AVM and how he would treat it, what you can do when you have a clash of professional opinions with your colleague, other AVM scenarios to consider, and reiterating why you should always document your rationale and perform reviews of your own cases. Plus, if you are a new OMS graduate, be sure to speak to your KLS Martin representative for some amazing once-off specials! Key Points From This Episode:A warm welcome back to Dr. Ben Hechler as Dr. Stucki explains the importance of case reviews.

In this special episode, Leigh Brown delves into the world of real estate property data collectors, discussing their role, potential risks, and implications for consumers and professionals in the industry. The episode highlights the rise of appraisal management companies (AMCs) and automated valuation models (AVMs) and how they came into effect after the housing crisis. Learn the concerns about the new program introduced by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which involves sending unlicensed and unregulated data collectors into homes to gather information for the banks. The lack of oversight and potential biases are problematic, as they could lead to inaccurate valuations and manipulation of property values. The episode emphasizes the importance of certified appraisers and the need for regulatory oversight in professional services. To learn more about this complex and crucial topic, listen to this episode and then jump to last week's interview with Peter Gallo, Owner/Chief Appraiser at HOMESIGHT APPRAISAL, as he shared his personal encounter when he questioned a tech company representative regarding regulatory compliance. Key takeaways to listen for Understanding the role of AMCs and AVMs The risks of allowing unlicensed data collectors into your home The potential impact on the real estate market The importance of advocating for the role of certified appraisers Resources mentioned in this episode 411 - What Makes Appraisers an Irreplaceable Role in Real Estate with Peter Gallo Connect with Leigh Please subscribe to this podcast on iTunes or the Podcasts App on your phone, and never miss a beat from Leigh by visiting https://leighbrown.com.

Als Vorteil kann man die Zigbee-Geräte nicht nur in allen Gruppen und Automatisierungen nutzen, sondern auch per DECT-Telefon steuern, jedenfalls den Fritzfons von AVM. Der vielleicht größte Nachteil: AMV macht nicht alle Funktionen der Zigbee-Komponenten nutzbar, beispielsweise fehlen die Messwerte von den Schaltsteckdosen, die den Stromverbrauch messen können. Dann vergleichen wir die so erweiterte Fritzbox mit anderen Smart-Home-Infrastrukturen: Zum einen den lokal arbeitenden [--] die Fritzbox kommt auch mitsamt Zigbee ohne Cloud aus [--] wie NodeRed, ioBroker & Co.: Der Vorteil der AVM-Lösung ist, dass keine zusätzliche Hardware laufen muss, sondern die als Internetrouter sowieso nötige Fritzbox nebenher alle Smart-Home-Aufgaben erledigt. Allerdings lassen die Komponentenauswahl und die Komplexität der Steuer- und Regelfunktionen noch zu wünschen übrig. Eine Alternative bleibt, die Zigbee-Komponenten wie bisher über Gateways der Komponentenhersteller anzusprechen. Zum anderen diskutieren wir Smart-Home-Steuerungen via Sprachassistenten von Amazon, Apple und Google [--] und auch Matter kommt zur Sprache, wenn auch zwangsläufig hauptsächlich spekulativ.

In 2020, William Kyler Lewis, 15, was riding in the car with his mom in College Station, Texas, when he suddenly turned to her confused. His head hurt, he was sick to his stomach and his vision was blurred. Soon, he couldn't remember anything for more than a few seconds. After his mom rushed him to the pediatrician, he got a shot and was told to go home. Instead, his mom drove 1½ hours to a children's hospital in Houston. Nurses there thought Kyler had taken drugs, but his mom insisted no, he was not that type of kid, and something was very wrong. A CT scan revealed Kyler had an acute spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage from a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) that he unknowingly had when he was born. A brain AVM is a condition that is not inherited. AVMs are a random occurrence due to a gene malfunction in utero where a mass of arteries connect directly to veins. Kyler received lifesaving external ventricular drain (EVD) surgery to control the fluid build-up in his brain. After the stroke, memory and neuro fatigue became a big problem. Kyler has undergone radiation and chemotherapy and takes medication for epilepsy, headaches, dizziness, weakness and tremors. Yet, Kyler is inspiring many. He uses local news, community functions and social media to educate the public that a child can have a stroke, too. He also organizes walks to highlight the importance of recognizing the symptoms of a pediatric stroke. Kyler's Facebook group, “A Cure for Kyler,” his CaringBridge page and YouTube channel educate and inspire pediatric stroke survivors by documenting his recovery. His video, “Being You after an Aneurysm/AVM Rupture,” and his family's Facebook page, “AVM Alliance: A Cure for Kyler and Friends,” share stories of other hemorrhagic stroke survivors and educate people about symptoms and conditions.

Neurosurgeon, Nina Moore, MD, discusses the evolving medical, interventional and surgical landscape for treating AVMs.
Depression sucks, and it lies. It's a life threatening condition that affects a lot of stroke survivors and can block their recoveries. In 2010, business owner Keith Taylor survived a stroke. A rare genetic condition meant that the arteries and veins in his body don't always connect the way they're supposed. It's called Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). One day, that flawed connection leaked and began killing brain cell. Keith began his journey through the stroke care system of the time, into the depths of depression, leaving the business he planned his life around and to the life he lives today helping stroke survivors in Central Oregon and around the world live their best lives. He shares his journey in today's episode. If you don't see the audio player below, visit http://Strokecast.com/MSN/Keith Click here for a machine-generated transcript Who is Keith Taylor? Keith Taylor runs Strength After Stroke Keith Taylor is a deeply passionate, and dedicated leader in the stroke community. He is dedicated to helping stroke survivors regain their own power and strength to live a full and productive life. While owning and being the sales manager of a large manufacturing business in Oregon, he had a stroke at the age of 48. After looking for, and not finding, anyone to help with the depression and lack of confidence after his stroke, he decided to create that for other stroke survivors. He is President of the Board of Directors with Stroke Awareness Oregon and is the owner of Strength after Stroke; a company dedicated to providing resources for stroke survivors to re-ignite their desires and regain their confidence. What is HHT? HHT stands for Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. That tells most of us…absolutely nothing. The condition impacts the way the blood vessels in our body connect. When the circulatory system works properly, blood flows from the heart under high pressure through the arteries to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the organs throughout the body. One big artery (the aorta) comes off the heart and splits into smaller and smaller arteries that carry blood to the kidneys, the toes, the brain, and every other part. The arteries are built to withstand the blood pressure. Veins take blood from the organs and bring it back to the heart. Along the way, the deliver carbon dioxide to the lungs and waste material to the kidneys, liver, and other disposal sites. The blood is no longer under such high pressure at this point. In between, there are capillaries. These are the tiny, thin blood vessels that allow oxygen and nutrients to pass from the blood to the organs and for carbon dioxide to pass back. Arteries branch smaller and smaller and thinner and thinner to become this huge network of capillaries, which the consolidate and get bigger and bigger until they become veins. Meanwhile, that branching down and consolidating up reduces the pressure on the blood in the system In a patient with HHT, those capillaries don't always form where they are supposed to. Instead, the arteries will connect directly to the veins. These malformations are weak spots since the veins may not be able to handle the pressure of the blood coming into them. These AVMs, or arterial-venous malformations can then rupture or leak resulting in a hemorrhagic stroke. You can learn more about HHT at the CDC's website here: https://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/hht/index.html#:~:text=HHT%20is%20a%20disorder%20in,present%20between%20arteries%20and%20veins. HHT is not the only cause of AVMs but it is an important one. Nosebleeds Nosebleeds are an important signal that something may be wrong. Frequent or regular nosebleeds are something to discuss with your doctor. Nosebleeds are a common indicator of HHT. Someone who has HHT will need to keep on top of their monitoring to reduce the chances of a dangerous stroke or other conditions. HHT by itself doesn't have many visible symptoms so nosebleeds can be a good flag. In my case, it was nosebleeds that revealed my high blood pressure, which remains one of the top causes of stroke. The problem, of course, with high blood pressure is that it doesn't hurt. Unless you're checking it, you won't know you have it. Nosebleeds, however, are one powerful indicator. If you or someone you care about has frequent nosebleeds, discuss it with your doctor. There can be lots of different causes, but often the nosebleed is the least severe consequence of that cause. Depression Lies I talk about depression a lot on the show because it is a big deal and stroke has been shown to cause depression. Depression can be a deadly disease. It can also tell us not to get out of bed. Or to skip our exercises. Or to question if we should even be here. Or try to convince us we are a burden to the people who love us. Depression interferes with our recovery, our energy, our relationships, and our view of the future. But always remember the biggest fact about depression: Depression lies. All the time. I first encountered this concept while reading a blog post from writer, actor, and professional geek Wil Wheaton. You can see that post at http://Strokecast.com/DepressionLies When depression says we shouldn't get out of bed or off the couch, depression lies. When depression tells us our friends and families wish we weren't there, depression lies. When depression tells us to skip therapy because it doesn't matter, depression lies. Don't listen to the liar that is depression. Help is available. Your doctor therapist will be happy to point you in the right direction. Hack of the Week When you forget a name or word, channel your inner Elsa, and let it go. Just relax. It's okay to struggle with names and words. People you deal with will be okay with it. The more you stress about it, the harder it will be to remember and the more likely you are to struggle with other words, too. Often we worry about what strangers will think about us when we are out and about, but the thing is they don't really care. Everyone we see is caught up in their own fear that everyone is judging them that they don't have the attention or energy to actually judge others. If you think someone does give you a dirty look or something like that, remind yourself that their probably thinking about that cringey thing they said at their 8th grade dance. Somehow it just smacks them at random from the depths of their memory. But the key is that's it's not about you. So relax. And let it go. Links Where do we go from here?

“We don't know what we don't know until there's some investigation,” says Ben McGahon. Just in time for a challenging economic turn, our very first ITEXPO 2022 podcast features a company that's focused on finding cloud savings. In this podcast we learn that although the move to the cloud was designed to make a more rational use of resources, companies still have orphaned resources, improperly scaled resources, spending on assets that may not be justified and much more. If the adage that recessions catch what the auditors missed, is true, AVMS has an interesting offer for MSPs to consider just as their clients shift from an environment of free spending consumers and forgivable government loans to a very visible effort to tighten credit, which may mean that people will be looking at spending. McGahon thinks that there is a great opportunity in offering companies a simple path to savings, where the cost cutting begins with services and assets we literally are not using or are underusing. McGahon makes the case that automated advanced cloud resource scheduling, and the savings and efficiencies that this yields, is a conversation the MSP needs to have with their customers today.

Musings is a solo version of the Notorious POD in which I think out loud about issues in the economy, technology, and real estate industry. In this episode, I think out loud about AVMs, appraisers and the future of valuation at least for purposes of lenders. I've been researching and investigating valuations and appraisals in the context of Defi lending, and a reader sent me the just published Fannie Mae fact sheet on Desktop Appraisal. This feels like something that is potentially a big deal, so I muse about it. ==== Notorious ROB: https://notoriousrob.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/robhahn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Notorious.ROB.blog
Browsing for a new home is a hobbyist activity, even for people not looking to immediately purchase. The home buying experience tends to now start online, and shoppers are seeing estimates from an automated valuation models or AVMs. In this episode, host Maiclaire Bolton Smith sits down with Ann Regan, Executive Product Manager from Collateral Solutions to learn what exactly is an AVM? How does it work? What is it used for?
At only seven years old, Sydney Collier was diagnosed with an extremely rare condition. In this episode, she shares her incredible story of not letting anything get in the way of accomplishing her goals, and how she keeps an unbelievably positive attitude throughout every step of her journey. Sydney Collier started riding horses at the age of seven and instantly fell in love. Shortly after she began riding, a routine vision screening changed her life in ways she could not have imagined. She was diagnosed with the rare Wyburn-Mason Syndrome, a life-threatening condition that causes arteries and veins to grow together causing vascular malformations (AVMs) inside her brain. Because of their location deep in her brain, her AVMs could not be easily removed. The rarity of Wyburn-Mason Syndrome meant few options were available for treatment. Sydney's condition quickly started affecting her vision and the control of her left side. Over the course of eight years, she endured a series of experimental treatments including CyberKnife radiation, blood vessel embolization, and brain surgery. During a risky brain surgery in 2009, she suffered a devastating and massive stroke. Despite this setback, she entered a rehabilitation center and was determined to get out of her wheelchair and return to the sport of riding. In 2010, she attended the World Equestrian Games as a spectator and immediately fell in love with Para-Dressage. With a renewed dedication to returning to riding at a high-performance level, Sydney set out to learn the sport of Para-Dressage. At age 16, she earned a spot on the US Para-Dressage team and was the youngest competitor at the 2014 World Equestrian Games in France. At age 18, she won the 2016 US Para-dressage National Championships and became the youngest member in the equestrian portion of the 2016 Paralympics in Rio as a part of Team USA. She placed 7th overall in the highly competitive para-dressage grade 1B. She has dedicated her life to service and maintains a busy schedule combining athletic, equestrian training, guest speaking, volunteering, babysitting, and giving riding demonstrations at a variety of events. She is also attending DeVry University on an Olympic Scholarship, majoring in communications. Alongside these activities, she continues training to earn a place on 2021 Tokoyo Para-Dressage Team and help the USA stand on the medal podium. In this episode, we discuss: · Her story of being diagnosed at a young age with an extremely rare condition. · The role horseback riding played in her determination to rehab after her surgeries and the mental and emotional escape it provided from – as she says – “all the medical mumbo jumbo.” · How finding Para-Dressage changed her life and her plans for her future. · The importance and power of setting big goals no matter what obstacle you have in your life. · Reframing everything that life throws you as a positive. · How truly supporting people means not putting ceilings on them and even allowing them to fail. · The importance of celebrating all the small goals along the way to big goals. · The incredibly special relationship she has with her horse and the power of the horse-human connection. · The spiritual beliefs that help her maintain her positive mindset. · And her advice on how we can all believe in ourselves a little bit more so we can go after our big goals.

Today's episode features Jason Hartman covering a wide range of issues. The topic of conversation ranges from the coming singularity, what it is, when we might see it, etc, then branches into more on the discussion about Automated Valuation Models (AVMs) and whether they're are the precursor to reckless valuations like we saw before the Great Recession. Jason also looks at the unfortunate situation Venezuela finds them in, with both rampant inflation and a natural disaster on top of it creating serious issues for the citizens of the nation. And finally Jason listens to some of his favorite investigative journalists work as he discusses why investigative jouralism is important and how it is connected to his 3 guiding principles. Key Takeaways: [3:07] The approaching singularity [7:47] The database Jason was wondering about in relation to Automated Valuation Models exists with Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac [10:05] Appraisers are a dying industry because the older ones are retiring and the hoops new appraisers have to jump through are hindering new hires [11:45] Will AVMs cause reckless valuations to return?

Jason Hartman starts today's show off back in the car with Carmen discussing some news he's seen recently. Inflation continues to creep up, apparently into the range that makes Central Banks happy, but Jason wants to know why we even have to see inflation, and explains what impact that will have. He also discusses the changes in America (and the history of marketing) that turned us into a consumer spending economy and the squeeze on American manufacturers currently happening. Then Jason finishes his interview with Dr. Andy Krause, Principal Data Scientist at Greenfield Advisors and AVM Analytics, as the two wrap up their conversation about Automated Valuation Models (AVM). This time the two discuss the wide range of uses AVMs have, how they're going to be changing moving forward, and how short-term rentals are impacting housing markets across the country.
