This is Sara, and I remember the time 20 years ago when I got schooled by a psychoanalyst. It must have been the fall, because I was supremely agitated that I was having to write, design, and send holiday cards out to a huge list of people all by myself, without the help of my fiancé. If you know me, you know that cards were a staple of my winter growing up, with cards from my parents' friends stapled onto long felt ribbons hanging down each doorway, surrounding us with love and smiling faces for weeks on end. The therapist asked if I could just not do them, if it was annoying me so much, and my instant fury was revealed: Are you kidding? I have to send these cards out, it's the nice thing to do!! Cut to the point, and it's this - nice according to who? Nice for whom? Certainly not nice for me if I were going to be resentful and pissy about it. I came to terms with the fact that I actually just really enjoyed writing and sending cards out to people who warmed my heart that year, and that my partner wasn't a nice person for not agreeing to send these cards out with me. But it leads us to ask this. What do we mean by niceness - and what, more importantly, is its not-as-related-as-it-seems and so much more important character trait of kindness? How can understanding this difference and leaning into kindness help us be better people? What to listen for: How a medically trained doctor got into a “touchy-feely” thing like kindness The shockingly tremendous impact that kindness has on our individual health and our societal wellbeing What's the difference between niceness vs kindness? Ways to begin practicing more kindness About our guest: Kelli Harding, MD, MPH, is dedicated to creating a kinder and healthier world for all. An expert in mental health, medicine, and public health, she teaches at Columbia University's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons (VP&S) in New York City and is a diplomate of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, also boarded in the sub-specialty of consultation-liaison psychiatry or psychosomatic (mind-body) medicine. Known for making complex scientific research understandable to general audiences, she's the author of the critically acclaimed book The Rabbit Effect: Live Longer, Happier, and Healthier with the Groundbreaking Science of Kindness. Dr. Harding has appeared on Today, Good Morning America, BBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Prevention, LA Times, Oprah Magazine, Parents, Medscape, Sesame Street Workshop, and The World Economic Forum. Additionally, she has spoken at global events at the United Nations and World Happiness Summits and served on the Boards of Organizations such as the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) and social media platform Nextdoor. Dr. Harding lives in New York City with her husband and three sons—an eleventh-grader, a ninth-grader, and a sixth-grader, and beloved rescue pup, Athena. Her next book, Different, co-authored with Sara Blanchard, will be out in Fall 2026. Website kellihardingmd.com LinkedIn Kelli Harding MD MPH Instagram @kellihardingmd

Lured Up Podcast 351Live Streamed on - 6/25/25Publish Date - 6/27/27This week Ken is joined by Jamal Harvey of the Wayspotters Podcast! Jamal sits in for Adam and joins the fray to dive into the last week of Pokémon GO action. We kick things off with a gameplay recap, touching on Yamper's Paw Prints, Jangmo-o Community Day, and the start of Ancients Recovered. All of this action is coming just a week before GO Fest Global, which calls for Trainers to really put a lot of gameplay and potential spending on the table.As we gear up for Global we cover additional details on the Ultra Unlocks, as July content is just around the corner. While Niantic has shared their July Content update, there is still plenty of content left in June. Global Challenges and Ultra Unlocks make their return for Global, and we have dates in July for events that can be boosted if we meet the criteria. With Trainer's 100% track record of completing the Global Challenges, we are confident that we will see all three tiers of Ultra Unlocks impact future events.Thanks to Niantic, we are giving away GO Fest: Global tickets across our social media channels. Make sure you check out LuredUp.com for links to everywhere you can enter! There are a few bits of miscellaneous news to cover this week as we peek into the July Content Update. Quaxly has been picked as the January Community Day Pokémon. Europe follows Japan's lead and is hosting their own stamp rally, as Americans patiently wait their turn to take part in this cool new feature. A wild story has rocked the Wayfarer World as gameboards near a few different Marine bases have been wiped clean. With adjacent towns that have completely built gameboards being impacted, we are hoping that this isn't something that continues. We speculate on what can be the cause, we have a quick one-liner from Niantic in the forums, pretty much telling us that there is nothing they can do, and that Trainers should move on from their concerns. We all know however, that Wayfinders aren't the type to not jump head first down the rabbit hole.Yamper's Paw PrintsAncients RecoveredCommunity Day: Jangmo-oGO Fest GlobalUltra UnlocksAdventure EffectsGlobal Ticket GiveawayCommunity Ambassador Video9th Anniversary EventJuly Content UpdateCommunity Day: QuaxlyStamp RallyJacksonville, NCLuredUp@PokemonProfessor.com Voicemail and SMS: 732-835-8639 Use code FULLHEAL at https://tgacards.com/ for 10% off your order!Connect with us on multiple platforms! https://linktr.ee/PokemonProfessorNetwork HostsKen PescatoreAdam TuttleWriter and ProducerKen PescatoreExecutive Producer XanderShow music provided by GameChops and licensed through Creative Commons▾ FOLLOW GAMECHOPS ▾http://instagram.com/GameChopshttp://twitter.com/GameChopshttp://soundcloud.com/GameChopshttp://facebook.com/GameChopshttp://youtube.com/GameChopshttp://www.gamechops.comIntro MusicLake Verity (Drum & Bass Remix) TetracaseGameChops - Ultraballhttp://gamechops.com/ultraball/https://soundcloud.com/tetracase https://soundcloud.com/MegaFlare0Break MusicNational ParkMikel & GameChopsGameChops - Poké & Chillhttp://smarturl.it/pokechillhttps://twitter.com/mikel_beatsOutro MusicVast Poni CanyonCG5 & GlitchxCity (Future Bass Remix)GameChops - Ultraballhttp://gamechops.com/ultraball/ http://soundcloud.com/cg5-beatshttps://soundcloud.com/glitchxcityPokémon And All Respective Names are Trademark and © of Nintendo 1996-2025 Pokémon GO is Trademark and © of Niantic, Inc.Lured Up and the Pokémon Professor Network are not affiliated with Niantic Inc., The Pokémon Company, Game Freak or Nintendo.#pokemon #pokemongo #podcast

In this electric and occasionally uncomfortable conversation, Stephen Minix—VP of Community at UpMetrics—lays bare the myth that collaboration simply “happens” in the nonprofit sector. His assertion is sharp: “If I can cut the check, I can set the terms.” This statement cuts to the core of a sector that talks community but often operates in silos defined by funding power dynamics and compliance culture.What emerges in this conversation is a compelling argument for a wholesale reframe of how nonprofits and funders work together. Collaboration, Stephen insists, isn't a mood or a moment—it's a skill set that demands communication, clarity, and most of all, pre-work. Too often, organizations show up to collaborate without knowing what they're actually prepared to give up, or what success even looks like in shared terms. “You can't play social impact ping-pong by yourself,” he notes. “You need a partner to hit it back.”But this episode goes even deeper. Stephen challenges the performative elements of both philanthropy and nonprofit operations—conferences, reports, retreats—suggesting they often mask the hard reality: without time, trust, and aligned incentives, collaboration is nothing more than theater.He offers practical alternatives. Funders should meet nonprofits in their spaces. Trust-based philanthropy, he says, doesn't mean abandoning data—it means letting the nonprofit define what success looks like and equipping them with the tools to track and tell their story. It's not about validation. It's about learning.Perhaps most powerfully, Stephen reframes trust as a proxy for risk tolerance. Real trust means relinquishing control—something many funders still find difficult. “We don't wait till the end of the year to decide if our kids can read,” he says. “So why do we wait to evaluate nonprofit impact in annual reports?”This episode doesn't offer easy answers—but it does offer a framework for harder, more authentic conversations. It's a must-watch for anyone tired of sugarcoated collaboration and ready to commit to real change.#TheNonprofitShow #TrustBasedPhilanthropy #CollaborativeLeadership Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Summary In this episode of the Pain Exam Podcast, Dr. David Rosenblum provides a comprehensive review of herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), focusing on pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment options. Dr. Rosenblum explains that postherpetic neuralgia affects approximately 25% of patients with acute herpes zoster, causing debilitating unilateral chronic pain in one or more dermatomes. He discusses the three phases of herpes zoster: acute (up to 30 days), subacute (up to 3 months), and postherpetic neuralgia (pain continuing beyond 3 months). Dr. Rosenblum identifies risk factors for developing PHN, including older age, female sex, immunosuppression, prodromal pain, severe rash, and greater acute pain severity. He details the pathophysiology involving peripheral and central sensitization, and explains different phenotypes of PHN that can guide treatment approaches. For treatment, Dr. Rosenblum reviews various options including antiviral medications (which should be started within 72 hours of onset), corticosteroids, opioids, antidepressants (particularly tricyclics and SNRIs), antiepileptics (gabapentin and pregabalin), topical agents (lidocaine and capsaicin), and interventional procedures such as epidural injections and pulsed radiofrequency. He emphasizes that prevention through vaccination with Shingrix is highly effective, with 97% effectiveness in preventing herpes zoster in patients 50-69 years old and 89% effectiveness in those over 70. Dr. Rosenblum mentions that he's currently treating a patient with trigeminal postherpetic neuralgia and is considering a topical sphenopalatine ganglion block as a minimally invasive intervention before attempting more invasive procedures. Chapters Introduction to the Pain Exam Podcast and Topic Overview Dr. David Rosenblum introduces the Pain Exam Podcast, mentioning that it covers painful disorders, alternative treatments, and practice management. He explains that this episode focuses on herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia as board preparation for fellows starting their programs, with ABA boards coming up in September. Dr. Rosenblum notes that he's not only preparing listeners for boards but also seeking the latest information to help treat his own patients with this notoriously difficult disease. Upcoming Conferences and Educational Opportunities Dr. Rosenblum announces several upcoming conferences including Aspen in July, Pain Week in September, and events with NYSIP and the Latin American Pain Society. He mentions he'll be teaching ultrasound and regenerative medicine at these events. Dr. Rosenblum invites listeners to sign up at nrappain.org to access a community discussing regenerative medicine, ultrasound-guided pain medicine, regional anesthesia, and board preparation. He also offers ultrasound training in New York and elsewhere, with upcoming sessions in Manhattan on July 12th and October 4th, plus private shadowing opportunities. Overview of Postherpetic Neuralgia Dr. Rosenblum defines postherpetic neuralgia as typically a unilateral chronic pain in one or more dermatomes after acute herpes zoster infection. He states that the incidence of acute herpes zoster ranges between 3-5 patients per thousand person-years, and one in four patients with acute herpes zoster-related pain will transition into postherpetic neuralgia. Dr. Rosenblum emphasizes that while this condition won't kill patients, it can be extremely debilitating and significantly reduce quality of life. Treatment Options Overview Dr. Rosenblum reviews treatment options according to the WHO pain ladder, including tricyclics like nortriptyline and antiepileptic drugs such as gabapentin. He explains that if pain is not significantly reduced, interventional treatments like epidural injections with local anesthetics and corticosteroids or pulsed radiofrequency of the dorsal root ganglion are options. For postherpetic neuralgia specifically, Dr. Rosenblum notes that preferred treatments include transdermal capsaicin, lidocaine, or oral drugs such as antidepressants or antiepileptics. Phases of Herpes Zoster and Definitions Dr. Rosenblum outlines the three phases during herpes zoster reactivation: acute herpes zoster-related pain (lasting maximum 30 days), subacute herpes zoster-related pain (pain after healing of vesicles but disappearing within 3 months), and postherpetic neuralgia (typically defined as pain continuing after 3 months). He mentions that acute herpes zoster pain often begins with prodromal pain starting a few days before the appearance of the rash. Incidence and Risk Factors Dr. Rosenblum states that the incidence of herpes zoster ranges between 3-5 patients per 1,000 person-years, with approximately 5-30% of cases leading to postherpetic neuralgia. He identifies risk factors including older age, female sex, immunosuppression, prodromal pain, severe rash, and greater acute pain severity. Dr. Rosenblum describes the clinical manifestations as a mosaic of somatosensory symptoms including burning, deep aching pain, tingling, itching, stabbing, often associated with tactile and cold allodynia. Impact on Quality of Life Dr. Rosenblum emphasizes that postherpetic neuralgia can be debilitating, impacting both physical and emotional functioning and causing decreased quality of life. He notes that it leads to fatigue, insomnia, depression, anorexia, anxiety, and emotional distress. Dr. Rosenblum stresses the importance of exploring methods for prevention of postherpetic neuralgia and optimizing pain treatment for both subacute herpes zoster-related pain and postherpetic neuralgia. Literature Review and Pathophysiology Dr. Rosenblum mentions that he's discussing a literature review from 2024 that updates previous practical guidelines published in 2011. He explains the pathophysiology of postherpetic neuralgia, which involves sensitization of peripheral and sensory nerves from damage. Dr. Rosenblum describes how inflammatory mediators reduce the stimulus threshold of nociceptors and increase responsiveness, resulting in pathological spontaneous discharges, lower thresholds for thermal and mechanical stimuli, and hyperalgesia. Central Sensitization and Nerve Damage Dr. Rosenblum explains that central sensitization results from peripheral nociceptor hyperactivity leading to plastic changes in the central nervous system, involving amplification of pain signals and reduced inhibition. He describes how nerve damage in postherpetic neuralgia patients results from neuronal death due to severe inflammatory stimuli or secondary to neuronal swelling. Dr. Rosenblum notes that motor defects occur in 0.05% of patients with herpes zoster, observed as abdominal pseudohernias or motor weakness of limbs limited to the affected myotome. Different Phenotypes and Classification Dr. Rosenblum discusses different phenotypes of postherpetic neuralgia and how phenotyping can determine treatment. He explains that there are several ways to classify the phenotypes, with one categorizing patients into three subtypes: sensory loss (most common), thermal gain, and thermal loss with mechanical gain. Dr. Rosenblum describes the mechanistic categorization, including the irritable nociceptive phenotype characterized by preserved sensation, profound dynamic mechanical allodynia, reduced pressure pain threshold, and relief with local anesthetic infiltration. Deafferentation Phenotype Dr. Rosenblum explains that a deafferentation phenotype may arise from destruction of neurons by the virus in the dorsal root ganglion. This phenotype is characterized by sensory loss, including thermal and vibratory sensation without prominent thermal allodynia. He notes that mechanical allodynia can occur secondary to A-beta fibers activating spinothalamic pathways (known as phenotypic switches), along with pressure hyperalgesia and temporal summation suggesting central sensitization. Dr. Rosenblum mentions that in one study, this phenotype was present in 10.8% of individuals, and for those with deafferentation pain, gabapentinoids, antidepressants, and neuromodulatory therapies like repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation may be beneficial. Diagnosis and Physical Examination Dr. Rosenblum discusses the diagnosis of herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia, emphasizing the importance of physical examination. He explains that diagnosis is based on the rash, redness, papules, and vesicles in the painful dermatomes, with healing vesicles showing crust formation. Dr. Rosenblum notes that the rash is generally unilateral and does not cross the midline of the body. In postherpetic neuralgia patients, he mentions that scarring, hyper or hypopigmentation is often visible, with allodynia present in 45-75% of affected patients. Sensory Testing and Assessment Dr. Rosenblum explains that in patients with postherpetic neuralgia, a mosaic of somatosensory alterations can occur, manifesting as hyperalgesia, allodynia, and sensory loss. These can be quantified by quantitative sensory testing, which assesses somatosensory functions, dermal detection thresholds for perception of cold, warmth, and paradoxical heat sensations. He notes that testing can provide clues regarding underlying mechanisms of pain, impaired conditioned pain modulation, temporal summation suggesting central sensitization, and information about the type of nerve damage and surviving afferent neurons. Prevention Through Vaccination Dr. Rosenblum discusses prevention of acute herpes zoster through vaccination, noting that the risk increases with reduced immunity. He highlights studies evaluating Shingrix, a vaccine for herpes zoster, which showed 97% effectiveness in preventing herpes zoster in patients 50-69 years old with healthy immune systems and 89% effectiveness in patients over 70. Dr. Rosenblum states that Shingrix is 89-91% effective in preventing postherpetic neuralgia development in patients with healthy immune systems and 68-91% effective in those with weakened or underlying conditions. Treatment Objectives Dr. Rosenblum outlines the treatment objectives for herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia. For acute herpes zoster, objectives include relieving pain, reducing severity and duration of pain, accelerating recovery of epidermal defects, and preventing secondary infections. For postherpetic neuralgia, the objectives are pain alleviation and improved quality of life. Dr. Rosenblum lists available treatments including psychotherapy, opiates, antidepressants, antiepileptics, NMDA antagonists, topical agents, and interventional treatments such as epidurals, pulsed radiofrequency, nerve blocks, and spinal cord stimulation. Antiviral Medications Dr. Rosenblum emphasizes that antiviral drugs should be started within 72 hours of clinical onset, mentioning famciclovir, valacyclovir, and acyclovir. He notes there is no evidence for effectiveness after 72 hours in patients with uncomplicated herpes zoster. Dr. Rosenblum provides dosing information: for immunocompetent patients, famciclovir 500mg and valacyclovir 1000mg three times daily for seven days; for immunocompromised patients, famciclovir 1000mg three times daily for 10 days, while acyclovir should be given IV in the immunocompromised. Benefits of Antiviral Therapy Dr. Rosenblum explains that antiviral medication accelerates the disappearance of vesicles and crusts, promotes healing of skin lesions, and prevents new lesions from forming. By inhibiting viral replication, he notes that antiviral therapy likely reduces nerve damage, resulting in reduced incidence of postherpetic neuralgia, and should be started as soon as possible. Corticosteroids and Opioids Dr. Rosenblum discusses the use of corticosteroids, noting that when added to antiviral medications, they may reduce the severity of acute herpes zoster-related pain, though increased healing of skin lesions was not observed in one study. He mentions that a Cochrane review found oral corticosteroids ineffective in preventing postherpetic neuralgia. Regarding opioids, Dr. Rosenblum states they are commonly used alongside antivirals for controlling acute herpes zoster pain, with tramadol having a number needed to treat (NNT) of 4.7 and strong opioids having an NNT of 4.3 for 50% pain reduction. Methadone and Antidepressants Dr. Rosenblum discusses methadone as an NMDA receptor antagonist used in acute and chronic pain management, though he notes there are no randomized controlled trials determining its efficacy in acute herpes zoster pain or postherpetic neuralgia. He explains that methadone can modulate pain stimuli by inhibiting the uptake of norepinephrine and serotonin, resulting in decreased development of hyperalgesia and opioid tolerance, but has side effects including constipation, nausea, sedation, and QT prolongation that can trigger torsades de pointes. Dr. Rosenblum identifies antidepressants as first-line therapy for postherpetic neuralgia, including tricyclics and SNRIs, with tricyclics having an NNT of 3 and SNRIs an NNT of 6.4 for 50% pain reduction. Antiepileptics and Pharmacological Treatment Summary Dr. Rosenblum discusses antiepileptics like gabapentin and pregabalin for postherpetic neuralgia. He cites two trials measuring gabapentin's effect, concluding it was effective compared to placebo with a pooled NNT of 4.4, while pregabalin had an NNT of 4.9. Dr. Rosenblum summarizes that pharmacological treatment is well established for subacute herpes zoster pain, though new high-quality evidence has been lacking since the last update in 2011. Topical Agents Dr. Rosenblum discusses local anesthetic topical agents including lidocaine and capsaicin creams and patches. He notes that 8% capsaicin provided significant pain reduction during 2-8 weeks, while 5% lidocaine patches provided moderate pain relief after eight weeks of treatment. Dr. Rosenblum also mentions acute herpes zoster intracutaneous injections, citing a study where single intracutaneous injection with methylprednisolone combined with ropivacaine versus saline alone showed significant difference in VAS score at 1 and 4 weeks post-intervention favoring the intervention group. Intracutaneous Injections Dr. Rosenblum discusses the effect of repetitive intracutaneous injections with ropivacaine and methylprednisolone every 48 hours for one week. He cites a randomized control trial comparing antivirals plus analgesics to antivirals plus analgesics and repeat injections, finding the intervention group had significantly shorter duration of pain, lower VAS scores, and lower incidence of postherpetic neuralgia (6.4% vs 28% at 3 months). Dr. Rosenblum notes that a potential side effect of cutaneous methylprednisolone injection is fat atrophy, though this wasn't reported in the study. Summary of Local Anesthetics Dr. Rosenblum summarizes that there are no new studies reporting the efficacy of capsaicin 8% for postherpetic neuralgia, but it remains widely used in clinical practice and is approved in several countries. He notes that lidocaine patches can reduce pain intensity in patients with postherpetic neuralgia but may be more beneficial in patients with allodynia. Dr. Rosenblum adds that intracutaneous injections may be helpful for short periods, while repetitive injections with local anesthetics may reduce VAS scores for up to six months but can cause subcutaneous fat atrophy. Interventional Treatments: Epidural and Paravertebral Injections Dr. Rosenblum discusses interventional treatments, noting that previous guidelines found epidural injection with corticosteroids and local anesthetic as add-on therapy superior to standard care alone for up to one month in managing acute herpes zoster pain. He mentions a randomized controlled trial showing no difference between interlaminar and transforaminal epidural steroid injections for up to three months after the procedure. Dr. Rosenblum adds that previous guidelines reported high-quality evidence that paravertebral injections of corticosteroids or local anesthetic reduces pain in the active phase of herpes zoster. Comparative Studies on Injection Approaches Dr. Rosenblum discusses a trial comparing efficacy of repetitive paravertebral blocks with ropivacaine versus dexmedetomidine to prevent postherpetic neuralgia, which showed significantly lower incidence of zoster-related pain one month after therapy in the dexmedetomidine group, with effects still significant at three months. He also mentions a study comparing steroid injections administered via interlaminar versus transforaminal approaches, finding both groups had significantly lower VAS scores at 1 and 3 months follow-up compared to baseline, though this could align with the natural course of herpes zoster. Timing of Interventions and Continuous Epidural Blockade Dr. Rosenblum cites a retrospective study showing that transforaminal epidural injections administered for acute herpes zoster-related pain were associated with significantly shorter time to pain relief compared to those performed in the subacute phase. He also mentions a randomized controlled trial finding that continuous epidural blockade combined with opioids and gabapentin reduced NRS pain scores more than analgesic drug treatments alone during three-day follow-up, though both studies were low-quality. Interventions for Postherpetic Neuralgia Dr. Rosenblum discusses interventions specifically for postherpetic neuralgia, citing a small randomized controlled trial that demonstrated decreased NRS pain scores six months post-treatment for repeat versus single epidural steroid injections (15mg vs 5mg dexamethasone) administered over 24 days. The trial also found increased likelihood of complete remission during 6-month follow-up in the group receiving repeat epidural dexamethasone, though this was low-quality evidence. Summary of Epidural and Paravertebral Injections Dr. Rosenblum summarizes that epidural or paravertebral injections of local anesthetic and/or glucocorticoids could be considered in treating acute herpes zoster-related pain. For subacute postherpetic neuralgia pain, he notes low-quality evidence supporting epidural injections, while for postherpetic neuralgia, evidence supports continuous epidural infusion, though also of low quality. Dr. Rosenblum emphasizes that none of the included studies for postherpetic neuralgia investigating epidural or paravertebral injections resulted in decreased pain compared to standard therapy. Pulsed Radiofrequency (PRF) Evidence Dr. Rosenblum discusses pulsed radiofrequency (PRF), noting that previous guidelines indicated moderate quality evidence that PRF of the intercostal nerve reduces pain for 6 months in patients with postherpetic neuralgia, and very low-quality evidence that PRF to the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) reduces pain for 6 months. He mentions that multiple studies have been published since then assessing PRF efficacy. PRF Studies for Acute Herpes Zoster Dr. Rosenblum discusses a randomized controlled trial with 60 patients comparing high-voltage bipolar PRF of the cervical sympathetic chain versus sham, with treatment repeated after three days in both groups. He reports that VAS scores in the PRF group at each post-interventional point (1 day, 2 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months) were significantly lower than in the sham group, and at 3 months, the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia was 16.7% in the PRF group compared to 40% in the sham group. PRF for Trigeminal Neuralgia Dr. Rosenblum cites another randomized controlled trial evaluating high-voltage long-duration PRF of the Gasserian ganglion in 96 patients with subacute herpes-related trigeminal neuralgia, which found decreased VAS pain scores at all post-interventional time points (3, 7, 14 days and 1, 3, and 6 months) compared to the sham group. He also mentions a randomized comparative effectiveness study in 120 patients with subacute trigeminal herpes zoster, comparing a single application of high-voltage PRF to the Gasserian ganglion versus three cycles of conventional PRF treatment, finding significantly lower mean VAS pain scores for up to six months in the high-voltage PRF group. PRF Compared to Other Interventions Dr. Rosenblum discusses a randomized controlled trial comparing PRF to short-term spinal cord stimulation, which found decreased pain and improved 36-item short-form health survey scores in both groups at six months. He also mentions a randomized controlled trial in 72 patients where PRF of spinal nerves or peripheral branches of cranial nerves combined with five-day infusion of IV lidocaine resulted in greater pain reduction, less rescue analgesia, and reduced inflammatory cytokines at two months compared to PRF with saline infusions. Dr. Rosenblum notes a major limitation of this study was not accounting for the high natural recovery rate. Summary of PRF and Final Recommendations Dr. Rosenblum summarizes that PRF provides significant pain relief lasting over three months in patients with subacute herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia. He notes that since few studies have compared PRF versus sham, it's not possible to calculate an accurate number needed to treat. Dr. Rosenblum mentions there are no comparative studies comparing PRF to the intercostal nerves versus PRF of the DRG, but both preclinical and clinical studies suggest superiority of the DRG approach. He adds that evidence for spinal cord stimulation for postherpetic neuralgia is of low quality, and more research is needed given its invasive nature. Sympathetic Blocks and Conclusion Dr. Rosenblum notes there is low-quality evidence for using sympathetic blocks to treat acute herpes zoster-related pain, but no evidence for their use in postherpetic neuralgia. He mentions that risks of treatment with intrathecal methylprednisolone are unclear and therefore not recommended. Dr. Rosenblum concludes by praising the comprehensive article he's been discussing and mentions it provides insight for treating his patients, including a recent case of trigeminal postherpetic neuralgia. Personal Clinical Approach and Closing Dr. Rosenblum shares that he doesn't currently perform PRF in his practice, partly because it's not standard of care and not well reimbursed, creating barriers to implementation. However, he notes that PRF is a very safe procedure as it doesn't involve burning tissue. For his patient with trigeminal neuralgia pain, Dr. Rosenblum plans to try a topical sphenopalatine ganglion block as the least invasive intervention before considering injecting the trigeminal nerves at the foramen, in addition to pharmacotherapy. He concludes by thanking listeners, encouraging them to check the show notes and links, mentioning institutional memberships and shadowing opportunities, and asking listeners to rate and share the podcast.

Key Takeaways:Increased Agency and Responsibility: Boards are evolving to take on more agency and responsibility, often driven by a need to be the public face of the company, sign off on increasing disclosures, and develop compensation philosophies. This shift requires boards to embrace themselves as responsible and independent bodies capable of drawing informed conclusions and making decisions to sustain the organization. Long-term Strategic Interest: Boards must focus on long-term strategic interests to drive management's accountability for corporate strategy. They need to further be focused on resilience and prepare for future challenges, balancing short-term risks with long-term goals. Use of Technology and Driving Information Expectations: Embracing technology, such as online board portals, can assist in managing increasing information and improving efficiency. Compelling management to use tools, such as graphic dashboard reporting and targeted executive summaries, that support reporting can simplify complex data, making it easier for board members to understand and act on critical issues. Orientation and Human Interaction: Effective onboarding and orientation of new board members are crucial. This includes personal interaction with management and other board members to build familiarity and trust, which is essential for the board's effectiveness. • Interplay with Management: Encouraging more interaction beyond executive management can inform and enhance the board's ability to oversee and guide the company. This includes vetting information from various sources and bringing outside perspectives to internal discussions.

In an era marked by organizational strain and evolving workplace expectations, leadership must move beyond traditional fixes and embrace systemic transformation. Patrick Farran, PhD, MBA, co-founder of Ad Lucem Group, joins host Julia Patrick to dissect the true nature of burnout, succession, and sustainable engagement in nonprofit leadership.Patrick challenges the prevailing assumption that burnout stems solely from overwork. “The number one cause of burnout is not overwork—it's the loss of agency,” he explains, arguing that without autonomy, even meaningful work becomes draining. Rather than defaulting to micromanagement during times of stress, Patrick advocates for building cultures rooted in trust, purpose alignment, and shared responsibility.Drawing from decades of executive coaching and organizational consulting, Patrick offers a framework built on three pillars: personal legacy, building others, and systems thinking. His advice is clear—leaders must be deliberate about cultivating capability in others and embedding processes that outlast any individual. This approach not only fortifies the organization but reduces the high failure rate of executive transitions.He also introduces the concept of “job crafting,” citing research on hospital janitors who redefined their roles around meaning rather than task lists. This practice, when applied in nonprofit settings, can create clear pipelines for succession and foster resilience.Another key theme is the embrace of constructive conflict. Patrick quotes Adam Grant: “The absence of conflict is not harmony—it's apathy.” Healthy disagreement, he argues, is not a threat but a catalyst for innovation. Nonprofits should harness this energy to align purpose, improve communication, and prepare for inevitable turbulence.Finally, Patrick outlines how appreciative inquiry—a strength-based framework—can transform leadership conversations and shift organizations away from crisis reactivity. By examining moments of excellence, teams can uncover hidden systems of success and replicate them in difficult times.From strategic succession planning to reframing burnout and conflict, this episode is packed with research-backed guidance, timely analogies, and field-tested leadership philosophy. It's a must-watch for nonprofit leaders dealing with today's pressures.00:00:00 Welcome and Introduction to Patrick Farran 00:02:40 What Does Ad Lucem Group Do 00:05:20 Misconceptions About Burnout in Nonprofits 00:10:15 The Role of Agency and Trust in Staff Retention 00:15:40 How Leaders Unintentionally Cause Disengagement 00:21:10 Tools for Succession and Internal Growth 00:26:05 Job Crafting as a Path to Leadership 00:31:40 Constructive Conflict vs Apathy 00:36:50 Appreciative Inquiry and Strength-Based Leadership 00:41:10 Preparing for Turbulent Times Without Panic 00:45:20 About the New Book: The Intentional Executive #NonprofitLeadership #BurnoutRecovery #ExecutiveSuccessionFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show
