We dive into the New World Screwworm, what it is, how we manage it and what it could do to the U.S. cattle industry. Plus we have the latest news, markets and so much more on this all new episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show. . Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Season 5, EPISODE 220 New World Screwworm: What Is It & What Could It Do To The Cattle Industry Beware! New World Screwworm In Cattle New World Screwworm: What you Need to Know On November 22, 2024, the Chief Veterinary Officer of Mexico informed the United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of a confirmed case of New World screwworm (NWS, Cochliomyia hominivorax). This alarming detection poses a serious threat to livestock and wildlife in North America. Here's what you need to know about this devastating pest and its implications. What Is New World Screwworm? New World screwworm is a highly destructive pest that affects livestock, other warm-blooded animals, and occasionally humans. NWS larvae infest animals through open wounds or mucous membranes, feeding on living tissue rather than dead tissue or carrion. If left untreated, infestations can be fatal. Key Facts About New World Screwworm: NWS is endemic to Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and parts of South America. It has been moving northward since 2023, spreading from Panama to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and now Mexico. U.S. Measures to Prevent NWS Spread To protect livestock and wildlife in the United States, APHIS is taking immediate action: Import Restrictions: Livestock imports, including equines, from Mexico are temporarily restricted. Horses originating from or residing in Mexico within 60 days prior to export will need to comply with stringent import protocols. Established Protocols: Pre-export treatment and examination. Treatment and examination upon arrival. A 7-day quarantine in an approved permanent import facility. These protocols follow the guidelines outlined in eCFR 9 CFR 93.308 and VSG 13424.1. Why Awareness Matters Illegally imported equines and stray animals crossing the border could introduce NWS into the United States. It is crucial for those handling livestock and pets to be vigilant. Signs of Screwworm Infestation: Draining or enlarging wounds. Signs of discomfort such as head shaking or irritated behavior. Presence of screwworm larvae (maggots) or eggs. Screwworm eggs are creamy-white and often found near the edges of wounds. Infestations commonly occur in: Navels of newborn animals. Nasal or eye openings. Genitalia and branding or dehorning wounds. What to Do If You Suspect Screwworm If you notice signs of infestation: Immediately contact your local accredited veterinarian, state animal health official, or APHIS veterinarian. Regularly inspect your pets and livestock, especially if they have wounds or show signs of discomfort. Conclusion The detection of New World screwworm in Mexico underscores the importance of vigilance in safeguarding livestock and wildlife. By adhering to import restrictions and monitoring animals closely, we can help prevent the spread of this devastating pest. Cattle & Agriculture Industry News Scientists Turn To AI To Reduce Cow Methane Researchers are considering using generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) protocols in order to develop new solutions to reduce methane emissions from cows. A team of scientists at USDA's Agricultural Research Service Livestock Nutrient Management Research Unit and the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the Iowa State University are using AI to sift through large computational models to develop new approaches to managing the methane emissions. The current focus involves the discovery of a group of compound molecules that can inhibit methane production in the largest of a cow's four stomach compartments. One effective molecule has been proven to reduce enteric methane production by up to 98%. AI also may fast-forward the laboratory research process and possibly address the potential costs of launching additional research, according to the scientists.

Okay, so I'll just say right at the top that my guest today is NOT a parenting expert. He is, however, a neurodivergent researcher, educator, author, and thinker who has some fascinating things to share about helping our kids energize their brains, spark ideas, and ignite action. Dr. Jeff Karp was that young kid who struggled greatly in school because of his learning disabilities, but when a tutor during the summer after second grade asked him this question – how did you think about that? – everything for him changed. He began to be more self-reflective. By thinking about thinking and how he approached learning, he was able to explore and create tools and systems to help him reach his goals both in school and in daily life. Jeff is still thinking about thinking today, and shares his ideas in his fascinating book, LIT: Life Ignition Tools: Use Nature's Playbook to Energize Your Brain, Spark Ideas, and Ignite Action. After I read his book, I wanted to bring him on the show because he embodies so much of what we talk about here at Tilt – encouraging our kids to understand how their brain works, get curious about their own strengths and gifts, and figure out ways to “hack themselves” so they can design lives that allow them to play to those strengths. As a child, Jeff developed ways to navigate school and life that were based on his curiosity, passion, creativity, and connection to nature. Over the years, he's evolved his approaches into LIT (Life Ignition Tools) and wrote this book to share them with the rest of the world. About Dr. Jeff Karp Dr. Jeff Karp holds the Distinguished Chair at Brigham and Women's Hospital and is a Professor at Harvard Medical School and MIT. He is an elected fellow of the National Academy of Inventors, Royal Society of Chemistry, American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, Biomedical Engineering Society, and the Canadian Academy of Engineering. Specializing in bioinspired medical innovation, Dr. Karp leads a research lab focused on harnessing lessons from nature. He has published over 165 peer-reviewed papers with more than 34,000 citations and has delivered nearly 400 invited lectures. He holds over 100 patents, and his lab's technologies have led to the formation of thirteen companies. His notable innovations include a tissue glue for sealing holes in a beating heart, targeted therapies for osteoarthritis and Crohn's disease, smart needles, a nasal spray that neutralizes pathogens, and immunotherapy approaches for cancer. Dr. Karp is also dedicated to mentoring the next generation of bioengineers. He has received multiple mentoring awards, and 30 of his trainees have secured faculty positions. Things you'll learn How self-reflection and “thinking about thinking” can lead to transformative experiences and strategies for learning and focus What LIT (life ignition tools) is and how they can be used to support positive shifts and movement How being intentional in your actions and reawakening your senses can deepen your experiences What the LEB (low energy brain) dimmer switch is and how it helps regulate energy levels Why being aware of “bothered awareness” can become a motivator How practicing cycling through your senses helps one connect more deeply with the world and tap into your powerful biology Resources mentioned Dr. Jeff Karp's author website Dr. Jeff Karp's KarpLab website LIT: Life Ignition Tools: Use Nature's Playbook to Energize Your Brain, Spark Ideas, and Ignite Action by Dr. Jeff Karp Jeff's TEDx Talk Insight Outside: Harnessing Nature's Secrets Jeff's TEDx Talk: Turning Failure into Success: 3 principles of Radical Simplicity Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard by Chip and Dan Heath Brian Stevenson / Equal Justice Initiative Transcendental Meditation Learn more about your ad choices.

Purdue University researchers have developed a biosensor technology aimed at revolutionizing food safety in agriculture. This innovation stems from a collaboration with the Center for Produce Safety, which sought to create a rapid, user-friendly risk assessment tool for growers of fresh produce, including leafy greens. "Current tests used in the field are slow, lab-based, and require trained personnel," explains Mohit Verma, associate professor in the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering and one of the researchers on the project. "Our goal was to provide growers with a quick and easy-to-use tool that offers rapid, reliable results." The solution lies in biosensors, which detect biological molecules and provide easily readable outputs. The technology employs Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP), a method similar to PCR but simpler as it operates at a single temperature. This makes it feasible for field use, allowing tests to be conducted in basic settings like water baths. *Photo Courtesy of Purdue UniversitySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do we take a huge chronic disease burden like Lyme disease or long COVID or even long flu and make it so personal that we simply can't ignore it anymore? That's today's big question and my guest is Dr. Mikki Tal, an immunoengineer and a principal scientist at MIT.Dr. Tal leads the Tal Research Group within the Department of Biological Engineering, and also serves as the Associate Scientific Director of the Center for Gynepathology Research. Mikki is working to identify the connections between infections and chronic diseases.I've written a bit recently about the lessons we finally need to learn about post viral and bacterial health issues, the societal and medicinal and health and economic issues and improving our baseline of wellness and community health, so that we don't suffer from those quite as much.These things are very real, we've known about them for a very long time and the compounding effects of chronic diseases are just going to continue add up the longer we ignore them, and we gaslight people. There has never really been a better time for Mikki's work, or for this wonderfully inspiring and personal conversation.-----------Have feedback or questions?

Dr Paul Malchesky, with a Master's degree in Chemistry and a Doctorate in Engineering, has been working with apheresis since the 1970's. This is a blood filtration or ‘cleaning' therapy we offer at Neuroveda Health as plasmapheresis (also called plasma exchange, PLEX and TPE (total or therapeutic plasma exchange)). There's been a lot of recent excitement regarding treatment of Long-COVID and as a ‘biohack' for longevity, but the truth is that it's been nearly half a century since the FDA approved this therapy for auto-immune and neurodegenerative conditions. The technology has come a long way and Dr Malchesky has been there the whole time. Of note, Ayurveda, the traditional medical system of India, also recognizes the value of detox and blood cleansing, making plasmapheresis a type of ‘rakta moksha'. This is a modern tool with ancient roots, our favorite kind of therapy. Today, we get into the history and mechanics to describe what this therapy is doing and how broad it's use can be. We discuss: · 3:30 What is apheresis? · 4:19 What is the history of apheresis? · 11:56 What is in blood? What are the components of blood? · 13.20 About anti-coagulation · 15:53 Ayurvedic use of blood cleansing called ‘rakta moksa' · 18:06 Dr Malchesky's personal history with apheresis starting with 1972; Reporting up to 40 diseases treated by 1981. · 24:40 Comparison of dialysis vs plasmapheresis filtration · 29:00 Late 70's/ early 80's, efforts to identify the specific proteins associated with certain diseases; findings and curiosity about cryoproteins- precipitates triggered by cold. · 36:57 Treatment to remove high cholesterol to prevent atherosclerosis. · 40:29 Description of the last 15 years of apheresis: applications & guidelines have really diversified by geography (centripetal in US & German; membrane for Japan), technology and disease state · 42:58 Safety of this procedure · 43:52 Difficulties with this procedure are most typically associated with venous access and sometimes blood pressure changes and/or anti-coagulant use · 44:40 Recognition that the macromolecules produced as ‘toxic' can present in every silo of medicine: oncology, rheumatology, neurology, and therefore, also make sense to use these treatments for longevity & anti-aging · 49:43 In studying the toxins removed, it's evident that these toxins removed impair cellular function, so removal can allow cells to perform more of their regular functions. · 51:08 The goal at Neuroveda Health is that plasmapheresis is part of a larger medical and wellness program to renovate the health from the ground up. · 51:38 Discussion of Lp(a). · 53:24 Designing clinical trials using historical experience of the questions and initial clinical trial endeavors with rheumatoid arthritis patients BIO: Dr. Paul Malchesky holds a B.S. Degree in Chemistry from St. Francis University, M.S. degrees in Chemistry from Case Western Reserve University and in Chemical Engineering from Cleveland State University and a Doctorate in Engineering from Cleveland State University. He is President of the International Center for Artificial Organs and Transplantation (ICAOT) and consults for the chemical and medical industries.

Women in menopause get a lot of nutrition and fitness advice. Some of it is sound. Some less so. Quite a bit of it is downright predatory. That is why the best nutrition and fitness advice for menopausal women is often not about grams of protein or hours of exercise, but rather a hard look at our own attitudes and beliefs about how we eat (or don't eat) and move our bodies. What narratives form our nutrition and fitness foundations? Are they even true? This week we dig deep into those narratives–and how to change them–with Meredith Root, co-founder of Tactic Functional Nutrition and Tactic Functional Fitness, both of which are grounded in empathy and behavioral change.Meredith Root has a B.S. in Biological Engineering and 6 years experience in biopharmacetutical process development. She is an active member of the Canadian and American Society for Nutrition and contributing writer for The Morning Chalk Up. She has been a nutrition coach since 2015 and along with her partner, Alex Parker, founded Tactic Functional Nutrition in 2018. Tactic now employees a team of 10 coaches and works with people from all over the globe on health and habits. Together, Meredith and Alex run Tactic's Instagram page which has garnered over 210k followers as well as their podcast, Afternoon Snack, which allows them to amplify their messaging even further. Fundamentally, the Tactic methodology is one that emphasizes consistency with basic nutrition and fitness principles that compound over time; communicated in a way that inspires trust, confidence, and self-determination. Their new business, Tactic Functional Fitness aims to bring uncommonly good fitness to common people.
