We discuss the evaluation of and treatment options for acute back pain. Hosts: Benjamin Friedman, MD Brian Gilberti, MD https://media.blubrry.com/coreem/content.blubrry.com/coreem/Acute_Back_Pain.mp3 Download Leave a Comment Tags: Musculoskeletal, Orthopaedics Show Notes **Please fill out this quick survey to help us develop additional resources for our listeners: Core EM Survey** Clinical Evaluation: Primary Goal: Distinguish benign musculoskeletal pain from serious pathology. Red Flags: Look for indicators of spinal infection, spinal bleed, or space-occupying lesions (e.g., tumors, large herniated discs). Assessment: A thorough history and neurological exam (strength testing, gait) is essential. Additional Tools: Use bedside ultrasound for post-void residual assessment in suspected cauda equina syndrome Imaging Guidelines: Routine Imaging: Generally not indicated for young, healthy patients without red flags. ACEP Recommendations: Avoid lumbar X-rays in patients under 50 without risk factors, as they do not change management and may increase costs and ED time. Advanced Imaging: Reserve MRI for patients with red flags, neurological deficits, or suspected cauda equina syndrome; CRP may be a part of your calculus when evaluating for infectious causes of back pain Treatment Options: Evidence-Based First-Line: NSAIDs offer modest benefit.

We discuss migraines with one of the authorities in the field. Hosts: Benjamin Friedman, MD of Montefiore Brian Gilberti, MD https://media.blubrry.com/coreem/content.blubrry.com/coreem/Migraines.mp3 Download Leave a Comment Tags: Neurology Show Notes Initial Approach to Diagnosing Migraines: Differentiating between primary headaches (migraine, tension-type, cluster) and secondary causes (e.g., subarachnoid hemorrhage). The importance of patient history and reevaluation after initial treatment. Recognizing the unique presentation of cluster headaches and their management implications. Effective Acute Migraine Treatments: First-line treatments including anti-dopaminergic medications like metoclopramide (Reglan) and prochlorperazine (Compazine), and parenteral NSAIDs like ketorolac (Toradol). The limited role of triptans in the ED due to side effects and less efficacy compared to anti-dopaminergics. The use of nerve blocks (greater occipital nerve block and sphenopalatine ganglion block) as effective treatments without systemic side effects. Treatments to Avoid or Use with Caution: Diphenhydramine (Benadryl): Studies show it does not prevent akathisia from anti-dopaminergics nor improve migraine outcomes. IV Fluids: Routine use is not supported unless the patient shows signs of dehydration. Magnesium: Conflicting evidence with some studies showing no benefit or even harm. Managing Refractory Migraines: Second-line treatments including additional doses of metoclopramide combined with NSAIDs or dihydroergotamine (DHE). Considering opioids as a last resort when other treatments fail.

“We will continue to support Ukraine on its irreversible path to NATO membership”. It was this statement by NATO members at a recent summit in Washington that sent shockwaves through the foreign policy community and elicited strong reactions from both sides of this foreign policy debate. Those in favour argue that bringing Ukraine into NATO would solidify the West's long-term commitment to Ukraine's security, force Putin's hand to end this war, and deter Russia from invading Ukraine in the future. Critics argue that admitting Ukraine to NATO would be a huge mistake. The US and its allies would be signalling a commitment to fight Russia should they invade Ukraine again which would lead to a showdown between the world's two leading nuclear powers. And allowing Ukraine to join the alliance only at the conclusion of this war will motivate Putin continue the war indefinitely, the prospect from which Ukraine will never recover. Arguing in favour of the resolution is John Herbst, a former US ambassador to Ukraine and the Senior Director of the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Center. Arguing against the resolution is Benjamin Friedman, the policy director at Defense Policies, a foreign policy think tank.

Benjamin Friedman, policy director at Defense Priorities, argues that the United States should immediately begin withdrawing military forces from Europe to set the stage for European defense autonomy. He discusses the history of NATO, how it's strategic purposes have evolved over time, what NATO costs America, defensibility problems with some Eastern European members, institutional inertia, differing threat assessments of Russia, and burden-sharing vs burden-dropping, among other topics.

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Benjamin Friedman who, over a 20+ year career has navigated the perilous waters of startup finance and operations, riding the bumpy waves of startup growth and guiding his companies through successful M&A transactions, equity raises, and debt financing.To cap it all, Benjamin is a firm advocate for values such as collaboration, optimism, and open communication, and has consistently strived to connect company goals, team initiatives, and individual performance in his roles. KEY TAKEAWAYS At graduate school I'd studied nonprofit management and worked at a nonprofit for a few years and found it was very process driven, we kept talking about what to do but never actually trying things. I'm much more results oriented, so I moved into an e-commerce company which doubled every year and it was an amazing ride. I became addicted to the startup journey. A lot of startups have a unique journey, every founder is an individual, but there are some common themes. Successful startups have founders that are clear on who they are and what they're trying to accomplish. That might seem easy, but it's actually very hard work to regularly check in with yourself. The other application is around vision and values; those will remain constant even as the business pivots, evolves, changes and challenges occurring. The final piece is feedback loops, successful founders are constantly seeking advice from advisors, investors, other founders and their team, they're constantly seeking feedback – they may not act on it every time – new ideas and how to get things done. Align outcomes, results and activities. A lot of people get worked up by working really hard and spending a lot of time and effort but activity alone won't generate the outcomes that you're looking for, you have to see what results are coming from that activity and then you have to see if those are affecting the outcomes that you desire. Are you looking at it through industry metrics, internal metrics? You need to be constantly running experiments to see if ‘x' improves your quality, your efficiency for you or your customers. You have to constantly evaluate your process but aligning your activity results and outcomes is really critical. Bringing in fractional experts can do a number of things; they can help you look holistically across the business and make connections between different functions, how do sales, marketing, finance and product all connect and what are the ways to optimise them collaboratively to grow your business. How have things been done in the past and how can they be applied to your business in order to grow as fast as possible? Cost and risk are considerations as well, by looking at fractional resources you're mitigating both; you pay people who come in much less than someone doing the job full-time, especially if you don't know how they're going to work and how they'll fit with your team. BEST MOMENTS‘Being open to other people's opinions is going to make you stronger on your journey.'‘It's very important to balance strategy and implementation.'‘We often think about productivity as running fast, but if you're not sure of what direction you want to be running, it doesn't matter how fast you're going, you're going to be heading in the wrong direction.'‘Unsuccessful founders keep doing the same thing their customer needs, successful ones ask “what is it you need now?” and they'll provide that.'

Most people don't think of economics as having a religious basis, and may question whether religion affects people's views of economic issues. But in his recent book, 'Religion and the Rise of Capitalism,' our guest on EconoFact Chats this week, Professor Benjamin Friedman of Harvard University, discusses the influence of religion on economics, including how the ideas of the Social Gospel and the Gospel of Wealth played a role in the development of American economic thinking in the late 19th century, how religious thinking influenced people's views of economic policy in the 20th century, and how that influence continues to the present day. Professor Friedman is the William Joseph Maier Professor of Political Economy at Harvard University. He has authored over 170 scholarly articles, and written or edited a dozen books, including The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth.

Am Dienstag geben Gesundheitsminister Alain Berset und BAG-Direktorin Anne Levy die Krankenkassenprämien fürs kommende Jahr bekannt. Klar ist: die Prämien werden deutlich höher ausfallen als in diesem Jahr, denn die Reserven der Krankenkassen können derzeit nicht weiter abgebaut werden. Weitere Themen: Am Sonntag finden in Italien Wahlen statt. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist hoch, dass Giorgia Meloni von der rechten Partei Fratelli d'Italia neue Regierungschefin wird. Aufgewachsen ist Meloni im ehemaligen römischen Arbeiterviertel Garbatella, das eine lange linke Geschichte hat. Was hält man dort von der Politikerin? Diese Woche haben gleich reihenweise Notenbanken ihre Leitzinsen kräftig erhöht, um die Inflation zu bremsen. Kritiker monieren, der Schritt sei zu spät erfolgt. Was sagt Benjamin Friedman dazu, der die Geldpolitik bereits seit 50 Jahren an der Harvard-Universität erforscht?

Benjamin Friedman is an economist and the author of The Moral Consequences of Economic Growth (2005) and Religion and the Rise of Capitalism (2021). He joins Cardiff to revisit the ideas in Moral Consequences, one of Cardiff's favorite economics books, which argues that sustained economic growth not only leads to higher living standards but also can make a society more virtuous. They also talk about all that's happened in the time since the book was published, the events that confirm or complicate its arguments, and the relationship between economic growth and issues like inequality, social mobility, and the environment.Finally, Ben shares with Cardiff the main themes in Religion and the Rise of Capitalism—and why our thinking about the economy remains influenced by religious schisms that date all the way back to the 16th and 17th centuries.

In business, planning must happen during constant change and crises. Concentrating on strategy is incredibly difficult while extinguishing fires. However, strategy is crucial. Nothing else matters if you're missing a critical market trend or failing to stay ahead of the curve. Benjamin Friedman joins our host, Diane Helbig, to discuss ideas. We've been through an awful lot over the past 5 years. Uncertainty, change, challenge. And yet, so many have found success, even in the face of challenge. Those companies have established effective planning processes. Learn more about Benjamin at Helbig Enterprises. #businessplanning #strategy #smallbusiness #benjaminfriedman

Professor Friedman describes his upbringing in Louisville, Kentucky, including the influences of his father and the family business as well as a special English teacher's contributions to his ability to write well.

Check the website here: http://enlites.com/ Dr. Benjamin M. Friedman is the William Joseph Maier Professor of Political Economy, and formerly Chairman of the Department of Economics, at Harvard University. He joined the Harvard faculty in 1972. Dr Friedman's newest book is Religion and the Rise of Capitalism – a fundamental reassessment of the foundations of current-day economics, showing how religious thinking has shaped economic thinking ever since the beginnings of modern Western economics and how this influence continues to be relevant today especially in the United States. In this episode, we focus on Religion and the Rise of Capitalism. We get first into a bit of the early history of economics. We focus a lot on David Hume and Adam Smith, and also in how economic thinking changed after them. We talk about some of the most influential schools of thinking in economics during the 19th and 20th centuries. We discuss the political influence of the evangelical protestants in the US. We also talk about the relationship between capitalism and political ideology, like liberalism and conservatism. Finally, we discuss if there is any contradiction between the promotion of cooperation by religion, and the competitive nature of capitalism, and if we would have ever have modern Western economic thinking without Protestantism. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: KARIN LIETZCKE, ANN BLANCHETTE, PER HELGE LARSEN, LAU GUERREIRO, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, HERBERT GINTIS, RUTGER VOS, RICARDO VLADIMIRO, CRAIG HEALY, OLAF ALEX, PHILIP KURIAN, JONATHAN VISSER, JAKOB KLINKBY, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, PAULINA BARREN, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ARTHUR KOH, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, SUSAN PINKER, THOMAS TRUMBLE, PABLO SANTURBANO, SIMON COLUMBUS, PHIL KAVANAGH, JORGE ESPINHA, CORY CLARK, MARK BLYTH, ROBERTO INGUANZO, MIKKEL STORMYR, ERIC NEURMANN, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, BERNARD HUGUENEY, ALEXANDER DANNBAUER, OMARI HICKSON, FERGAL CUSSEN, YEVHEN BODRENKO, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, DON ROSS, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, OZLEM BULUT, NATHAN NGUYEN, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, J.W., JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, IDAN SOLON, ROMAIN ROCH, DMITRY GRIGORYEV, TOM ROTH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, AL ORTIZ, NELLEKE BAK, KATHRINE AND PATRICK TOBIN, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, NICK GOLDEN, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, AND EDWARD HALL!

Is Bitcoin a revolutionary currency or a speculative bubble about to pop? Depends on whom you ask! From cryptocurrencies to total return swaps to hedge fund short-sellers, the financial markets can appear a minefield loaded with dangerous bets and outright scams. In this episode, Harvard economist Benjamin Friedman discusses whether we should be worried about Bitcoin's wild gyrations, and whether it is possible to see the next crash before it hits.

Is American capitalism broken? The 2020 presidential campaign, in the midst of an economy-shattering pandemic, reignited the debate over whether our version of capitalism needs some socialism to survive. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders offered a full-throated defense of democratic socialism, for instance, while his opponents on the Republican side warned against tilting too far to the left. Harvard economist Benjamin Friedman, author of 'Religion and the Rise of Capitalism,' joins the podcast for a nuanced discussion about these competing economic systems.

World renowned Harvard economist Dr. Benjamin Friedman joins 'The Head and the Heart' to talk about the role that faith has had on the rise and growth of capitalism. Professor Friedman discusses how religious beliefs from past centuries influences our economic systems of today; and explores such topics as why economic growth matters, and why lower income Americans vote against their own self interest.
