Mark Saxton, CEO of Baird Medical, highlights their microwave ablation technology, which is being used to address a significant treatment gap for benign thyroid nodules. This minimally invasive approach is an alternative to radiofrequency ablation, accommodates patients with pacemakers or other cardiac devices, and provides faster recovery. Unlike surgery, microwave ablation preserves thyroid function, eliminating the need for ongoing hormone replacement therapy Mark explains, "It's very interesting that we're focused on thyroid tumors because they're an extremely prevalent issue. Most of those tumors are benign, and for many of those patients, active surveillance, or what we call watchful waiting, is appropriate. But a portion of those may need more than that. Their nodules are growing, they're becoming symptomatic either cosmetically or they're compressing on their throat, and that becomes extremely bothersome for them." "A minimally invasive option, like a microwave, may be more appropriate for those patients than a surgery would be. The bottom line is there's still a huge gap between diagnosis and treatment, and that's an exciting problem for us to want to solve." "So surgery is extremely safe and very appropriate in many patients, but there is a scar, it's a surgery, you're under general anesthetic. The other thing that surgery does is if we do a thyroidectomy, we may be destroying the thyroid's ability, obviously, then to provide the hormones, T3 and T4, that regulate some of our metabolism. So with the microwave, we just destroy the nodule. We don't impact thyroid function in that way, so patients don't need that hormone replacement. So that's another great reason to move forward with something more minimally invasive." #BairdMedical #MicrowaveAblation #ThyroidMWA #MWA #ThyroidCare #ThyroidNodules #MinimallyInvasive #InterventionalEndocrinology #Endocrinology #PatientCare #MedicalDevices BairdMed.com Download the transcript here

BUFFALO, NY – July 6, 2026 – A new #casereport was #published in Volume 17 of Oncotarget on July 2, 2026, titled “Renal oncocytoma: Α case report and literature review.” The study was led by first and corresponding author Areti Kalfoutzou from the Second Propaedeutic Department of Internal Medicine, Attikon General Hospital, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece. Renal oncocytoma is a rare benign tumor of the kidney that accounts for approximately 5–9% of renal epithelial tumors. Although it is considered benign, it often resembles kidney cancer on imaging studies, making accurate diagnosis challenging. Because treatment strategies differ substantially between benign oncocytoma and malignant renal tumors, establishing the correct diagnosis is essential to avoid unnecessary surgery while ensuring appropriate patient care. In this report, the researchers describe the case of an 82-year-old woman who presented with two months of gross hematuria. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) identified a 55 × 34 mm exophytic lesion arising from the upper pole of the left kidney. Based on its imaging characteristics, the mass was initially classified as a Bosniak category IV renal lesion, raising strong suspicion for renal malignancy.

Join Drs. Steele, Burke, & Premkumar in this episode of EPA Playbook, where we tackle a core general surgery EPA: the evaluation and management of benign and malignant colon disease. From common presentations like diverticulitis and lower GI bleeding to the diagnosis and workup of colon cancer, this episode provides a structured framework you can use on the wards, in clinic, and on call. Using case-based discussions, we walk through how to distinguishing benign from malignant processes, selecting appropriate imaging and endoscopy, and recognizing when a patient needs urgent intervention versus outpatient workup. We also cover key principles of colon cancer management, including staging, surgical planning, and multidisciplinary care, alongside high-yield management of benign conditions.***FREE EPA COURSE: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/epa-playbookSimply create an account on behindtheknife.org or our app and you the course will automatically show up in your Library.For additional information on EPAs, visit the American Board of Surgery EPA webpage: https://www.absurgery.org/get-certified/epas/.

Jay Gunkelman is handed one clue — the patient is 17 — and reads the EEG blind. From the brainwave patterns alone, he explains why the recording points toward a right-hemisphere traumatic brain injury and discusses the cortical hyperexcitability that may follow. Before the cold-read, a published study flips addiction treatment on its head: treat the brain's EEG phenotype instead of the DSM label. In a 30-person case series, this was associated with an average General Intellectual Ability (GIA) increase from 99 to 120 over one year, as discussed in the episode.

In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, MIMS Learning deputy editor Rhiannon and medical editor Dawn provide a comprehensive update on prostate health. High-profile figures, such as Sir Chris Hoy, opening up about their own diagnoses have significantly increased public awareness of prostate cancer. In light of this, the editors discuss the rationale for targeted prostate cancer screening and patient counselling around prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests. The conversation also highlights health inequalities in prostate cancer diagnosis, noting that Black men have double the risk of prostate cancer compared with other groups, and highlighting care for trans women, who may remain at risk of prostate cancer after gender-confirming surgery.Beyond malignancy, this episode covers the symptoms and management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and chronic prostatitis in primary care.Educational objectivesAfter listening to this podcast, healthcare professionals should be better able to:Recall draft recommendations for targeted prostate cancer screening in high-risk groupsIdentify key risk factors for prostate cancer, including ethnicity and ageOutline factors that can raise or suppress PSA levelsUnderstand the diagnostic pathway and the role of digital rectal examinationRecognise symptoms and potential complications of BPH and prostatitisYou can access the website version of this podcast, along with a list of key learning points, on MIMS Learning - and make notes for your appraisal.

“The dangers are human, not AI. What's dangerous is what a human does with AI, not what the AI does itself. In fact, even the idea that there is such a thing as the AI in itself is a mistake.” — Keith Teare I'm in Korea this week. So rather than doing a traditional one-on-one That Was the Week tech summary, Keith Teare and I are trying something different. We invited Jonathan Rauch — Brookings Institution senior fellow, serial author and one of the most rigorous minds in Washington — onto the show to discuss AI. Rauch had a simple mission. He wanted to find out why Keith Teare is just about the only person in the universe who believes that AI is benign. Jon had five buckets of doom to dump on Keith: labour market disruption, political upheaval, mental health and cognition, malicious actors, and the biggest daddy of all — AI developing consciousness, setting its own agenda, and killing everyone (even Keith). But Keith maintained his Yorkshire stoicism under intense scrutiny from the analogue Rauch machine. AI is a word-counting machine, he explained. Large language models train on words, not experience. They split words into a probabilistic graph of correlations. When you ask a question, a large statistical engine fires, word by word. In that sense, he says, AI is no cleverer than a calculator. The idea that it has awareness, consciousness, or a plan is mythological. What's dangerous is what a human does with AI, not what AI does itself. The dangers, he says, are human. Jon wasn't entirely reassured (his Brookings brand is scepticism, after all). What worries him most is that humans will handle these technologies irresponsibly. On that, he and Keith agree. The short-term labour disruption will be significant. White-collar service provision — legal, accounting, junior consulting — is already going. Jobs will go too. Work, Keith insists, will not. But nobody in politics is having the conversation about what comes next. Not JD. Not AOC. Only Keith and Jon. Five Takeaways • AI Is a Word-Counting Machine: Keith's Core Argument: Large language models train on words and only words. They split those words into a probabilistic graph — how close is word A to word B? When you ask a question, a large statistical engine fires, producing output word by word. There is no awareness. There is no consciousness. There is no plan. The idea that such a system could develop its own agenda is mythological. It's no cleverer than a calculator. It's just a very big, very fast calculator. Rauch's counter: the brain is also just dumb neurons. We get emergence from dumb neurons. Keith's reply: what the AI can do is constrained by what humans allow it to do. The agency is human. • Doomerism as Business Model: Before engaging with any specific AI doom argument, Keith signals a prior: whenever there is ambiguity in a major technological change, a business model emerges to monetize doubt. It was true of nuclear power. It was true of climate change. It is true of AI. This doesn't mean the fears are groundless — they wouldn't sell if they weren't reasonable. But it means they should be approached with prior scepticism. The doom argument works precisely because AI genuinely contains possible negative outcomes. The business model packages and amplifies those possibilities beyond their actual probability. • The Guardrails Are Human: Keith's metaphor: AI sits in a prison where humans decide what the doors are. If you give it access to email, it can email. If you don't, it can't. It cannot take actions it has not been permitted to take. The word “guardrails” is commonly used, and it's apt: the constraints on what AI can do are entirely under human control. The word output is the statistical engine — that's not controllable. But its ability to act on words is highly constrained. The danger is not what AI does. It is what humans choose to allow AI to do. • Jobs vs Work: The Labour Disruption Argument: Rauch's young friends in junior consulting are watching their jobs go in real time. Keith distinguishes between jobs — paid labour — and work, which is closer to effort and creative agency. Jobs can go. Work, he argues, will not — humans will always be reinterpreting the future they want and working to make it happen. But the short-term disruption will be significant: white-collar service provision (legal, accounting, consulting), teaching, driving. The wealth creation AI enables could supplement the end of paid labour. But no one in government is having that conversation. • Rauch's Verdict: Clarified, Not Reassured: After fifty minutes with Keith Teare, Jonathan Rauch reaches a considered position: his worst fear — that AI becomes an autonomous engine of anti-human malfeasance — is unlikely to happen unless humans make it happen. His residual concern: that humans will not handle these technologies as maturely as one could wish. He's not optimistic about political systems that are already too rigid, too partisan, and too dysfunctional to adjust as they did to the industrialization of the late nineteenth century. On that, he and Keith agree. Nobody knows. Not Keith. Not Andrew. And, despite his brilliance, not Jonathan Rauch. About the Guests Keith Teare is a British-American entrepreneur, investor, and publisher of the That Was the Week newsletter. He is a co-founder of TechCrunch. Jonathan Rauch is a Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and a contributing writer at The Atlantic. He is the author of The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth, The Happiness Curve, Kindly Inquisitors, Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights, and Good for America, and many other books. He is based in Washington, D.C.

THC isn't the same drug it was 20 years ago, and pregnancy counseling hasn't caught up. We sit down with Dr. Nazanin Amadieh, a board-certified OBGYN who also trained in addiction medicine, to map what today's high-potency cannabis means for conception, the placenta, fetal development, and the newborn period. If you've heard “it's legal” or “it's just a plant” as proof of safety, this conversation offers a clearer, evidence-informed way to think about marijuana during pregnancy without stigma and without hand-waving. We dig into the endocannabinoid system, why fetal receptors show up as early as five to six weeks, and how cannabis exposure may affect implantation, placenta formation, and early brain development. Then we get practical about the outcomes clinicians track: miscarriage risk signals, the stronger association with low birth weight or small for gestational age babies, and what NICU admission can mean for families. Because so much research is dated and modern THC concentrations can reach levels older studies never measured, we also talk openly about uncertainty and why “no proof of harm” is not the same as “safe.” Nausea and vomiting gets its own spotlight, including the tricky overlap between hyperemesis gravidarum and cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome, plus the hot shower clue that can point toward CHS. We also cover breastfeeding and THC in breast milk, what parents should watch for, and why postpartum relapse to cannabis is common when anxiety and overwhelm hit after the first few months. If you care about maternal health, prenatal care, addiction medicine, or harm reduction, you'll leave with better questions and clearer next steps.

Send a textYour heart sinks when a dog's CT shows a primary liver tumor plus extra lesions. Ours used to as well—until we dug into data showing how often those additional masses are actually benign. In this conversation with surgical oncologists Drs. Samuel Burkhardt and Hunter Piegols, we rethink what “multiple hepatic lesions” really means, and how that shift can change everything from pre-op counseling to what you sample in the OR.We walk through their study design—primary liver tumors paired with additional lesions verified by surgical exploration and histopathology—and why imaging alone couldn't separate benign from malignant with confidence. You'll hear practical guidance on interpreting CT findings without leaping to metastasis, framing owner conversations to avoid a falsely negative outlook, and planning targeted biopsies that refine staging and inform follow-up. We also tackle the language problem: nodule versus mass. Without common definitions, clinicians and researchers risk misreading severity and muddying the literature. The case for cross-disciplinary standards and working groups is compelling.Looking ahead, we explore tools that could improve preoperative decisions: contrast-enhanced ultrasound, more rigorous imaging criteria adapted from human medicine, and the promise of liquid biopsy and biomarkers to flag “bad actor” hepatocellular carcinomas. We discuss sample-size limits in veterinary studies, the value of multi-institutional collaboration, and related puzzles like what a solitary pulmonary nodule really means for prognosis. Along the way, you'll pick up succinct surgical maxims, practical tips for histopath submission, and a reminder that small resets outside the clinic help us think clearly when cases get complex.If this conversation helps you reframe your next liver case, share it with a colleague, subscribe for more evidence-based episodes, and leave a review so others can find the show.JAVMA article: https://doi.org/10.2460/javma.25.07.0514INTERESTED IN SUBMITTING YOUR MANUSCRIPT TO JAVMA ® OR AJVR ® ?

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Mohammad shares his rarely heard and emotionally complex journey through a testicular tumor diagnosis that ultimately turned out to be benign, but not without life-altering consequences. After noticing a slow-growing lump in his testicle over several years, Mohammad sought medical advice and was told removal was urgent, with little discussion of alternative options such as watchful waiting or partial orchiectomy. Living in Iran, where conversations around men's health and testicular issues remain highly stigmatized, Mohammad faced his diagnosis largely without community support, limited patient education, and few culturally accessible resources.Mohammad opens up about the devastating realization that his tumor may not have required full removal and the lasting impact that decision has had on his self-image, sexuality, fertility concerns, and mental health. He speaks candidly about regret, masculinity, dating after surgery, and the emotional toll of losing a testicle when cancer wasn't the final diagnosis. His story sheds light on a rarely discussed reality: that even when tumors are benign, the physical and psychological consequences of surgery can be profound.This episode highlights the urgent need for patient advocacy and global access to testicular cancer education, especially in regions where language barriers, cultural taboos, and lack of survivor communities leave men feeling isolated. Mohammad's courage in sharing his experience is a powerful reminder that every patient deserves to understand that they are not alone, no matter where they live.For cultural reasons, Mohammad has elected to obscure his picture and video.Join The Ball Room:https://www.testicularcancerawarenessfoundation.org/theballroomWant to be a guest?

This PedsCases episode will provide you with an approach to common benign neonatal dermatoses. By the end of this podcast, listeners will be able to 1) define and describe the clinical presentation of some benign neonatal dermatoses, specifically erythema toxicum neonatorum, neonatal milia, and harlequin color change, 2) explain the underlying etiology and pathophysiology of these benign neonatal skin findings, 3) review key differential diagnoses and appropriate management strategies, and 4) counsel caregivers effectively and confidently about these normal neonatal conditions. This episode was created by YuQi Wu, a medical student at the University of British Columbia, in collaboration with Dr. Allison Gregory, a dermatologist practicing at BC Children's hospital. There are no conflicts of interest to disclose by the authors.
Dr. David Grinspoon discusses the potential for life in the relatively benign clouds of Venus, particularly around 50 km altitude, where conditions are similar to Earth's surface. This idea, once fringe, is gaining acceptance due to intriguing chemistry and clues like the controversial detection of phosphine, a possible biosignature. Life may have migrated from a previously watery surface or arrived via panspermia.
The world of the paranormal, spanning millennia of human belief, is far more intricate and emotionally diverse than its current popular portrayal suggests. As we have explored, not every strange sound or unexplained shadow is a threat; in fact, the vast majority of reported spirit activity falls into the categories of benign human ghosts or neutral, energetic echoes of the past.

"If you decide never to rebalance, it's good to know there is ample evidence and authority to be confident about inaction, especially in taxable accounts." "My biggest investing mistakes were not selling hugely successful and over weighted positions which later reverted to more average values."

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 5, 2025 is: benign • bih-NYNE • adjective Benign describes something that does not cause harm or damage. In medical contexts it is used to describe something that does not threaten life or health (as in "a benign tumor"). Additional meanings include "mild and pleasant" (as in "benign weather conditions") and "showing kindness and gentleness" (as in "a benign outlook"). // The project required that we manage some inconvenient but ultimately benign conditions. See the entry > Examples: "'The era of innocent tourism—where it was seen as a benign and universally positive force—ended around 2015,' says Justin Francis, co-founder of Responsible Travel, a UK-based travel agency specialising in ethical tourism. 'In Europe and America, protests against overtourism are growing. People are realising their vacations can leave lasting impacts on others' homes.'" — Tarang Mohnot, BBC, 18 Feb. 2025 Did you know? Benign traces back to the Latin adjective benignus, which was formed from bene, meaning "well," and the verb gignere, "to beget"—that is, "to produce or create." Gignere is also the root of such English words as genius and germ, and even shares distant ancestry with kin. The meanings of benign range from describing an absence of danger or harm to that which shows kindness or is gracious or wholesome.
Pastors Lawson Harlow and Josh Howard discuss the important topic of Christians and their use of social media, like Facebook X, Instagram, Snapchat and more. Is social media benign, or is the something more sinister lurking beneath the surface? What should be the Christian ethic in this new age of the digital "public square"?
Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Amy: Hi Dr. Cabral. First, thank you for all you do for the health community! You are my most trusted source of information. I'd love to get your thoughts on a red patch under my right eye. I've suffered through it flaring up and going away over half of this year. My dermatologist has tried 2 creams and we recently did a skin allergy test. While this was helpful, nothing has made it actually get better. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is more gut related than contact allergen related. Do you have any thoughts on ways to go about finding this root cause? Thanks! Melissa: Hi! I just moved out of state and am in my mid 40s with menstrual irregularities. I'm feeling overwhelmed trying to find a new primary care and OBGYN that practices holistically with functional medicine therapies. How does one go about finding one. Or should I opt to doing a hormone therapy specialist? Anonymous: Hi Dr. C, For several mornings now Ive been having a weird, somewhat sour chemical taste in my mouth. I believe this is due to my chronic constipation as my morning bowel movements are often incomplete, and any subsequent movements I have after my first one will smell more strongly of this sour chemical taste I wake up with in my mouth. My urine will have this smell as well. It does not smell of feces, just sort of chemically. I also have lots of pain in the area right below the sternum and seems to be chronic, and only reduces with the more bowel movements I have. Im already taking many magnesium supplements, motility activators, tudca, and miralax but I still find myself in these situations quite often. My stomach will often make high pitch, squealing sounds as if its straining Lynne: Hello and thank you so much for all you do for all of us! I'm trying to understand why I tend to get benign growths such as lipomas. I also have a lump on my breast that has been there since I was 20. I am 52 and have gone through menopause and thought it would dissipate after the estrogen level dropped so dramatically. I also had hyperparathyroidism...another growth. Finally, I have a lymph node that feels like a tiny hard nodule on my neck (at the top near the ear). I have been taking proteolytic enzymes, am not overweight, exercise daily and eat a very clean diet. I would greatly appreciate any advice. Thank you! Sorry, I forgot to mention that I listened to previous HouseCalls and have tried all of those things: massage, rebounder, sauna, dry brushing, castor oil, detoxes, etc. I have been doing these for a number of years. Jill: Thanks for sharing your expertise and experience. I have a history of hyperlipidemia but through diet & lifestyle efforts have kept my cholesterol levels in check. Within the last few years, the levels have begun to climb and some of my inflammatory markers are worrisome. I am 53, post menopausal, and live an active lifestyle. I would like to avoid statins; however, I have been taking Icosapent Ethyl and Ezetimibe for the past 6 months and have seen a lowering of both my triglycerides and cholesterol to normal ranges again. My APOB is 139, LpA is 102 but my CT cardiac score is a zero. Where do I go from here? Is there any other testing I should consider to understand if need to continue on these medications, such as a CT angiogram?
