Our guest today is Steffan Blayney, the author of Health & Efficiency: Fatigue, the Science of Work, and the Making of the Working-Class Body. In Health & Efficiency, Blayney explores a new model of health that emerged in Britain between 1870 and 1939. Centered on the working body, organized around the concept of efficiency, and grounded in scientific understandings of human labor, scientists, politicians, and capitalists of the era believed that national economic productivity could be maximized by transforming the body of the worker into a machine. At the core of this approach was the conviction that worker productivity was intimately connected to worker health. Under this new "science of work," fatigue was seen as the ultimate pathology of the working-class body, reducing workers' capacity to perform continued physical or mental labor. As Steffan Blayney shows, the equation between health and efficiency did not go unchallenged. While biomedical and psychological experts sought to render the body measurable, governable, and intelligible, ordinary men and women found ways to resist the logics of productivity and efficiency imposed on them, and to articulate alternative perspectives on work, health, and the body. Steffan Blayney is a former Wellcome Trust Research Fellow at the University of Sheffield, where his work focused on the relations between health, the body, and society, and on histories of political activism in modern and contemporary Britain. He has taught at Birkbeck, Kent, and Sussex, was previously a member of the editorial team at History Workshop Online, and was a co-founder and organizer of History Acts - a radical history workshop and network connecting activists and historians. He also authored the book Long Live Southbank, which celebrates the history and culture of the Undercroft area of the South Bank - the oldest recognized and still existing skateboarding space in the world - and the community that has evolved there over the years. Today, he no longer works within the walls of academia; instead, he is out in the field as a labor organizer, utilizing his talents, knowledge, and expertise in his work with EQUITY, a performing arts and entertainment trade union based in London.

In this enlightening episode of The Patient From Hell podcast, Dr. Doug Blayney and host Samira Daswani dive deep into the key insights from the 2024 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium (SABCS). They explore four critical areas of breast cancer care: CDK4/6 inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), de-escalation strategies for ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), and the emerging role of artificial intelligence in cancer diagnostics. Throughout the conversation, a central theme emerges: the increasing ability to personalize cancer treatment, considering individual patient characteristics, biological markers, treatment options, and personal goals for quality and quantity of life. Key Highlights: 1. Biomarkers are becoming increasingly sophisticated, allowing for more precise and personalized treatment approaches across different breast cancer subtypes. 2. Patient choice and individual considerations are paramount, with treatment decisions now focusing on balancing potential survival benefits against quality of life impacts. 3. Emerging technologies like antibody-drug conjugates and artificial intelligence are revolutionizing breast cancer care by offering more nuanced, targeted diagnostic and treatment options. About our guest: Dr. Doug Blayney is an oncology physician who specializes in breast cancer and the Chief Medical Officer of Manta Cares. His research focuses on quality improvement in cancer care systems, new drug development, and patient experience improvement. At the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), he was founding Editor-in-Chief of its flagship practice journal, and as President, started the ASCO Quality Symposium and began planning for ASCO's CancerLinq. He was a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Growth Factor Guideline panel, and is a past member of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Oncology Drugs Advisory Committee and the NCCN Board of Directors. Key Moments: At 38 minutes: "There's a company now that has a gene expression panel that may predict, and it looks like it does predict, whether radiation treatment after standard treatment for DCIS is beneficial. So if this predicted biomarker of benefit for radiation pans out, and I think it probably will, that means that we can deescalate or personalize whether radiation treatment and its side effects are likely to be beneficial to that patient." At 45 minutes: "Quality of life, can that be answered by a nine question questionnaire? Well, maybe. If you can't get out of bed, your quality of life is because something hurts or if your arm doesn't work because they're so swollen, that's one extreme... What about 15 years playing that duet? What about three? It's those kind of subtleties that we need to take into account." At 49 minutes:"AI can interpret mammograms. The images from a mammogram 20 years ago, there were four, top, bottom, side, side, and maybe another oblique. And now there's 60 images from a mammogram. So that means that a radiologist, a human radiologist, whether it's next door or around the world, somebody needs to look at those. AI can help."

In this episode, Dr. Doug Blayney, oncologist, former President of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and the Chief Medical Officer of Manta Cares, discusses the latest advancements in breast cancer treatments presented at ASCO's 2024 Annual Meeting. He highlights the significant progress in antibody drug conjugates (ADCs), which are engineered to specifically target cancer cells, offering new hope in cancer treatment. The Manta Cares team also attended the ASCO conference, presenting an abstract for a personal treatment management tool designed to assist cancer patients and survivors (and their families!) in navigating their next steps – Manta Maps! For more information, visit our website here and join the list to request access to the digital platform this fall here. Key Highlights: 1. Advancements in breast cancer treatment were highlighted at the ASCO Annual Meeting this year, including alternatives to chemotherapy and the emergence of antibody drug conjugates (ADCs). 2. Checkpoint inhibitors help the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells by removing the "brakes" that prevent the immune system from targeting the cancer. 3. Personalized approaches to treatment based on patient age, co-morbidities, and cancer type, were highlighted, leading to more effective and tailored treatments. About our guest: Dr. Doug Blayney is an oncology physician who specializes in breast cancer. His research focuses on quality improvement in cancer care systems, new drug development, and patient experience improvement. At the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), he was founding Editor-in-Chief of its flagship practice journal, and as President, started the ASCO Quality Symposium and began planning for ASCO's CancerLinq. He was a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Growth Factor Guideline panel, and is a past member of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Oncology Drugs Advisory Committee and the NCCN Board of Directors. Dr. Blayney leads the Manta Cares Scientific Advisory Board as the Chief Medical Officer. Key Moments: At 1:05 "As a doctor who treats breast cancer, I thought it was important that we have a lot of alternatives to chemotherapy. So even though some of the studies were portrayed as negative because they didn't improve overall survival, I think pushing out the time a patient gets chemotherapy and its associated toxicities is a major advance.” At 21:14 "We need better assays to predict who's going to respond to these ADCs (Antibody Drug Conjugates). We're learning that they're here to stay and they're a great benefit to many with breast cancer and other cancers." At 35:20 “It's thought that you and people without known cancer, develop one or two cancers a day, small little bitty ones and our body's immune system recognizes that as foreign and eats them up and the cancer doesn't grow and proliferate. One of the ways cancer grows, especially in adults, is immune escape. So somehow the brakes are put on the immune system at some point when that cancer develops. The IO checkpoint inhibitors are thought to work by taking off those brakes.” Visit the Manta Cares website Disclaimer: This podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

In this episode I am joined by Cam Scorey. Cam owns and operates Hussln Auto Detailing out of Tatura in regional Victoria. After chatting back and forth for a long time with Cam via social media, it was great to be able to pay him a visit and record this episode face to face at his facility located on the busiest intersection in town. In this episode we got to hear about how Cam started out in detailing and how he went from working for a dealership to taking the leap and opening his own business and later on moving into a workshop of his own. We got to hear about Cam moving from Shepparton to Papua New Guinea when he was a week old where he would live for 5 years with armed security and what that was like trying to make friends. Then on to regional NSW in Blayney into his teen years before moving back home to regional Victoria. We also got to hear about how Cam moved to Perth for a girl he met online which ultimately led him to start detailing, and marry his wife before moving back to Victoria again. Cam has a really cool story and I'm glad that I had the opportunity to sit and talk with him for this episode.

E., Arlt, W., Lan, G., Blayney, M. L., Davidson, O., Barratt, C. L. R., Pacey, S., Narita, M. Abstract: Autophagy has been implicated in male fertility but its specific role in the post-testicular organs remains unclear. Here, we investigate this in mice expressing a doxycycline-inducible RNAi against Atg5 (Atg5i). Systemic autophagy inhibition in Atg5i mice resulted in the morphological and functional abrogation of the male accessory sex organs, leading to male subfertility. However, the testis was largely protected, likely due to the limited permeability of doxycycline through the blood-testis barrier. Interestingly, restoration of autophagy by doxycycline withdrawal in Atg5i mice led to substantial recovery of the phenotype in the accessory organs. This model offers a unique opportunity to dissect the pre- and post-testicular roles of autophagy, highlighting the non-autonomous impact of autophagy on male fertility.

Dr. Douglas Blayney, past ASCO president and oncologist, gives us his thoughts on some of the key scientific themes presented at the 2023 ASCO annual meeting. In the field of breast cancer, there are three key areas of interest Dr. Blayney discusses. First, there is growing attention towards the use of CDK 4/6 inhibitors in the treatment of hormone positive breast cancer. Second, the significance of somatic cell DNA testing is being recognized. This testing can inform treatment decisions at different stages of the disease and help identify when a change in treatment is necessary. Lastly, there is a focus on the emerging role of antibody drug conjugates, which can selectively kill cancer cells in a more targeted way. Samira and Dr. Blayney also discuss how patients learn from and use this new information in partnership with their physician. Key Highlights: What are CDK 4/6 inhibitors and why are they important? How can genetic testing inform cancer treatment plans? How do physicians and patients think about and integrate new scientific findings? About our guest: Dr. Doug Blayney is an oncology physician who specializes in breast cancer. His research focuses on quality improvement in cancer care systems, new drug development, and patient experience improvement. At the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), he was founding Editor-in-Chief of its flagship practice journal, and as President, started the ASCO Quality Symposium and began planning for ASCO's CancerLinq. He was a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Growth Factor Guideline panel, and is a past member of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Oncology Drugs Advisory Committee and the NCCN Board of Directors. Dr. Blayney leads the Manta Cares Scientific Advisory Board. Key Moments: 8 minutes: What is a CDK 4/6 inhibitor? “When that estrogen receptor growth pathway is shut down, the cell compensates, or many of the cancer cells compensate by this CDK 4/6 pathway. And it turns out that if you combine estrogen blockade with blockade of the CD46 pathway at various steps, you can have an augmented or more effective therapeutic approach.” 18 minutes: On the types of DNA and how they impact cancer treatment decisions: “There are two kinds of DNA. There's germline DNA, which is present in every cell in our body. Then there is somatic mutation, which happens to various cells. Whether it's in a breast cell or a lung lining cell or a colon lining cell, an accumulation of those mutations in the right spot can lead to a cancer.” 33 minutes: On thinking about decision making with new scientific advances: “Your listeners may remember that 20 or 30 years ago, randomized clinical trial looked at circulating tumor cells monitoring versus standard monitoring. And the circulating tumor cell DNA did not improve survival, probably because of the sensitivity of the test. Plus the treatments 20 or 30 years ago weren't as efficacious. There weren't as many of them. So if the cancer was growing, but you didn't have an effective treatment for it, so what? Looking at this now, the situation has changed. The test is probably more sensitive, and we have more treatments.” Visit the Manta Cares website Disclaimer: This podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

There is a lot of buzz around the annual ASCO meeting, which brings together 40,000 oncology professionals from around the world. But as a patient, what does that mean for us? Dr. Douglas Blayney, past ASCO president and oncologist gives us a behind the scenes understanding of the purpose, process and outcomes that are driven by the information shared at the ASCO annual meeting. He shares how different stakeholders in the oncology and healthcare ecosystem play a role at the meeting, and how the information is used to improve patient care and also drive innovation. Key Highlights: What brings 40,000 people to Chicago for the ASCO annual meeting? How does the scientific information presented at ASCO impact patients and the public? The importance of transparency and trust in presenting scientific findings. About our guest: Dr. Doug Blayney is an oncology physician who specializes in breast cancer. His research focuses on quality improvement in cancer care systems, new drug development, and patient experience improvement. At the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), he was founding Editor-in-Chief of its flagship practice journal, and as President, started the ASCO Quality Symposium and began planning for ASCO's CancerLinq. He was a founding member of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Growth Factor Guideline panel, and is a past member of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Oncology Drugs Advisory Committee and the NCCN Board of Directors. Dr. Blayney leads the Manta Cares Scientific Advisory Board. Key Moments: 9 minutes - On what's important about the ASCO annual meeting: “The ASCO annual meeting has a long tradition of having breakthrough therapies announced. Traditionally, on Sunday afternoon, the highest impact scientific findings are announced in the plenary session, which this year had four abstracts featured.” 27 minutes - On the importance of scientific meetings for clinicians and patients: “Most clinicians and oncologists want to do the best for our patients. Having said that, we can't be everywhere, and we can't know everything, so we do rely on other sources of information, maybe secondary or tertiary sources of information about what went on at the ASCO meeting and other scientific meetings.” 33 minutes - On the integrity of scientific data presented at ASCO: “ASCO is a largely volunteer professional society, with the exception of the elected officers, or actually the president and board chair, etc. So three or four elected officers and the journal editors are compensated, and all other ASCO activities are essentially donated by interested parties. And part of the American tradition, as de Tocqueville pointed out in the early 1800s, is that there's this large tradition of volunteerism in our society, which is great and very satisfying. And which ASCO takes advantage of and gives a very positive outlet for clinicians, doctors, and other advocates who want to volunteer to make the world better.

Royce Simmons is an Australian former NRL Player & Coach. During his playing career he represented the Penrith Panthers, NSW Blues and Australian Kangaroos. After he finished playing he moved into the coaching world and ended up coaching the Panthers, Hull FC, St Helens and later worked as an assistant coach to Tim Sheens at Wests Tigers. When Penrith Panthers' rugby league legend Royce Simmons disclosed in January 2022 that, at age 61, he had been diagnosed with dementia the previous year, many were in shock.Typically, the former Kangaroos hooker immediately set about not only exploring what he required to do to slow the dreaded condition's progress, his thoughts turned to assisting others who were affected by the disease – not just sufferers but their supporting families too.Within months, Royce's Big Walk (a registered charity foundation) as a reality and the support he has received by not just many VIPs of rugby league, but the Penrith district's community and beyond has been extraordinary.So, among other fund-raising initiatives for Royce's designated not-for-profit support organisation, Dementia Australia, Royce will walk – from May 17-26 – the 300km from his small hometown of Gooloogong (population less than 300) through Cowra, Carcoar, Blayney, Bathurst, Katoomba and across the Blue Mountains, arriving pre-match at Penrith's Bluebet Stadium the night the Panthers take on North Queensland Cowboys.Along the way there will be several sportsman's dinners or lunches, and a coaching clinic, to help raise funds for local rugby league on the route.You can support Royce's mission, Dementia Australia, junior rugby league and, in particular, the families who have or will go through what Royce himself is confronting, by donating or attending some of the functions from May 17-26.The tough-as-nails former Panthers skipper is tackling his Alzheimer's diagnosis just as he would any other opponent on the footy field – head on and with the benefit of his ‘team' and their supporters as his major priority.If you would like to donate and support Royce please visit the link below. https://www.memorywalk.com.au/event/royces-big-walk
I have been a fan of Jeff Black's songwriting for many years. He was born in Kansas City, Missouri and grew up in Liberty, Missouri. In the 1980's Black began performing at Blayney's, a blues club here in Kansas City where he also worked as a bouncer. Jeff began touring and eventually relocated to Nashville where he re-connected with Kansas City friend, Iris Dement lending some backing vocals on DeMent's 1992 debut album, Infamous Angel). Black's own first album, Birmingham Road, was recorded with the members of the band Wilco, minus lead singer, Jeff Tweedy. Those songs have been described as "fine portraits of American life without the sappiness or self-consciousness often attributed to the singer/songwriter genre.” Sam Bush has championed him with recording many of his songs including "Same Ol' River" and "King Of The World". Jeff co-wrote the title track to Sam's Grammy nominated album "Circles Around Me". His songs appear on recordings by Alison Krauss, Waylon Jennings, Jerry Douglas, Dierks Bently, John Oates, Blackhawk, Jo-el Sonnier and the soundtracks of "The Thing Called Love" The acclaimed PBS documentary "The Appalachians" and Sundance Film Festival's Grand Jury Prize Winner "Steel City". WUMB Boston listeners voted Black one of the top 100 Folk artists of the last 25 years. His intimate live shows provide a master class in songcraft appreciation, tempo and audience interaction. After a two year pandemic induced hiatus, I was finally able to welcome Jeff back into the KKFI studios for a sit down conversation and private mini concert in support of some recent Midwest gigs. We talked about music education, or the lack thereof, the pandemic, of course, collaboration, mentorship and the value (or not) of songwriting workshops. Enjoy this musical conversation and performance with the lyrical and very talented Jeff Black.
Brannockstown Baptist Church has a long and rich history. It was founded around 1870 by John La Touche, master of the Harristown estate (the La Touches were wealthy and influential aristocrats in France until the Huguenot expulsion). John La Touche became a Christian and was baptised by the well-known Rev. C. H. Spurgeon at the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. Wishing to share the good news of Jesus and call people to follow him, John gathered a small congregation, which in its infancy met in a cottage in the village. In 1882 a gothic chapel of limestone and red sandstone was erected, followed in due course by the manse next door. John La Touche taught and cared for the church family, and later made provisions for the continuation of the church following his death in 1904. This episode interviews the current pastor of Brannockstown, Richard Blayney, about the rich history of the church. Richard is married to Steph, and they have three children. He comes from Coleraine and went to Brannockstown following studies at the Irish Baptist College. A short presentation on the history of the church by Richard Blayney was also recorded on the occasion of the church's 150th anniversary for the Irish Baptist Historical Society and can be viewed at https://youtu.be/GU7pZ4Px0ec
