“It wasn't a profession, it was a way of life,” observes internationally respected psychiatrist Dr. Nasser Loza, reflecting on a century-long family legacy in mental health care that began when his grandfather founded The Behman Hospital in Cairo. In this candid Raise the Line conversation with host Michael Carrese, Dr. Loza traces the transformation of psychiatry he's witnessed in his long career as increases in classifications, payment bureaucracy, reliance on pharmaceuticals, and technological disruption have each left their mark. The cumulative costs associated with these changes have, he laments, pushed care out of reach for many and hindered the human connection that is key to the discipline. He describes his prescription for countering these trends as a focus on effective and modest aims. “Rather than saying, come and see me in therapy for five years and I will make a better person out of you, I think focusing on symptom-targeted help is going to be what is needed.”  In this wide-ranging interview, you'll also learn about progress on advancing the rights of mental health patients and lowering stigmas, how to manage the rise of online therapy and use of AI chatbots, and the importance of empathy and transparency in mental health counseling. Don't miss this valuable perspective on a critically important dimension of healthcare that's informed by decades of experience as a clinician, government official and global advocate. Mentioned in this episode:The Behman HospitalMaadi Psychology Center If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Seven underrated survival tools that make life easier and safer when things don't go as planned. The post 7 Survival Tools You Probably Overlooked appeared first on Mind4Survival.

“When I was in medical school, no one had even heard of mitochondrial disease. Today, every student who graduates here knows what it is and has seen a patient with it,” says Dr. Mary Kay Koenig, director of the Center for the Treatment of Pediatric Neurodegenerative Disease at UTHealth Houston McGovern Medical School. That remarkable change in awareness has been accompanied by advances in genetic sequencing, the development of clinical guidelines, and the emergence of potential treatments in some forms of mitochondrial disease. In fact, Dr. Koenig's multidisciplinary team at UTHealth's Mitochondrial Center of Excellence has been a key player in clinical trials that may yield the first FDA-approved treatments for it. As you'll learn in this Year of the Zebra conversation with host Michael Carrese, her work in neurodegenerative diseases also includes tuberous sclerosis, where advanced therapies have replaced the need for repeated surgeries, and Leigh Syndrome, which has seen improvements in diagnoses and supportive therapies leading to better quality of life for patients.  Tune in as Dr. Koenig reflects on an era of progress in the space, the rewards of balancing research, teaching and patient care, and the need for more clinicians to center listening, humility and honesty in their approach to caring for rare disease patients and their  families.Mentioned in this episode:Mitochondrial Center of ExcellenceCenter for the Treatment of Pediatric Neurodegenerative Disease If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

“Giving learners options gives them a better learning experience. It's more holistic and more comprehensive,” says Sean Moloney, CEO and founder of EmbodyXR, an extended reality platform focused on the use of immersive technologies in medical education. In this eye-opening Raise the Line conversation, Moloney explains how AI-powered extended reality (XR) --which integrates augmented, virtual, and simulation-based environments -- allows learners to interact with patients, explore multiple diagnostic choices, and experience varied outcomes based on their decisions. The result, he notes, is not only stronger engagement in learning, but a measurable improvement in understanding. Despite these gains, Moloney is quick to point out that he sees these technologies as complements to traditional training, not substitutes for it. “We'll never replace in-person teaching,” he says, “but we can make learners even better.” Beyond training future clinicians, the EmbodyXR platform is also offering new modes of patient and caregiver education, such as augmented reality guidance for using medical devices at home. Join host Lindsey Smith as she explores how EmbodyXR achieves and maintains clinical accuracy, the connectivity it offers between headsets, personal computers and mobile devices, and other capabilities that are shaping the future of how healthcare professionals and patients will learn. Mentioned in this episode:EmbodyXR If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Non c'è nulla di nascosto che non sarà svelato, né di segreto che non sarà conosciuto. Quindi ciò che avrete detto nelle tenebre sarà udito in piena luce, e ciò che avrete detto all'orecchio nelle stanze più interne sarà annunciato dalle terrazze.Dico a voi, amici miei: non abbiate paura di quelli che uccidono il corpo e dopo questo non possono fare più nulla. Vi mostrerò invece di chi dovete aver paura: temete colui che, dopo aver ucciso, ha il potere di gettare nella Geènna. Sì, ve lo dico, temete costui.Cinque passeri non si vendono forse per due soldi? Eppure nemmeno uno di essi è dimenticato davanti a Dio. Anche i capelli del vostro capo sono tutti contati. Non abbiate paura: valete più di molti passeri!».Parola del Signore.

Why has America struggled so much to effectively manage the opioid use crisis? One of the answers, as you'll learn in this eye-opening episode of Raise the Line, is rooted in laws and attitudes from the early 20th century that removed addiction from the realm of medicine and defined it as a moral failing.  “The federal Harrison Act of 1914 forbade any physician from prescribing opioids to people with addiction, so it became more the purview of law enforcement or behavioral health or religion,” says Dr. Melody Glenn, who regularly confronts the consequences of this history during shifts in the emergency department at Banner-University Medical Center in Tucson, Arizona. And as Glenn explains to host Caleb Furnas, the resulting stigma associated with addiction has extended to the treatments for it as well, especially methadone, despite its effectiveness. Drawing on her dual expertise in emergency and addiction medicine, Glenn dispels misconceptions that medication-assisted treatment merely replaces one addiction with another, and emphasizes that harm reduction is critical to saving lives. Her desire to break prevailing stigmas led her to discover the story of Dr. Marie Nyswander, who pioneered methadone maintenance therapy in the 1960s and is featured in Dr. Glenn's new book, Mother of Methadone: A Doctor's Quest, a Forgotten History, and a Modern-Day Crisis. You'll leave this instructive interview understanding the roots of our flawed approach to addiction treatment, meeting an overlooked pioneer in the field, and admiring a devoted and compassionate physician who is following in her footsteps.  Mentioned in this episode:Banner-University Medical CenterMother of Methadone book If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Queste invece erano le cose da fare, senza trascurare quelle. Guai a voi, farisei, che amate i primi posti nelle sinagoghe e i saluti sulle piazze.

“We don't view a person with chronic pain as someone who has a chronic illness and the effect of that is we can't follow patients continuously over prolonged periods of time,” says Dr. Jacob Hascalovici, a neurologist and pain specialist based in New York City.  In co-founding Bliss Health, Dr. Jacob, as he is known, has set out to create a continuous care model for chronic pain treatment that matches the approach taken for patients with diabetes or high blood pressure. The Bliss Health formula includes an initial meeting with a physician that produces a care plan; remote therapeutic monitoring on an ongoing basis; and a monthly meeting with a nurse to review data and determine next steps, including additional appointments with physicians as needed.  All of this occurs via a digital platform which provides a welcome option for patients with mobility issues and can fill gaps in access to specialists, especially in rural areas. Dr. Jacob is also hoping to make chronic pain patents feel respected, which is not always the case in their encounters with the healthcare system. “Because pain is not something that can be seen or measured, oftentimes patients feel marginalized, dismissed and disempowered by providers.” Join Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith for a valuable conversation that also touches on policy changes that could strengthen telemedicine, and has details on the first non-opioid based pain medication to receive FDA approval in over 20 years.Mentioned in this episode:Bliss Health If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Altri poi, per metterlo alla prova, gli domandavano un segno dal cielo.Egli, conoscendo le loro intenzioni, disse: «Ogni regno diviso in se stesso va in rovina e una casa cade sull'altra. Ora, se anche Satana è diviso in se stesso, come potrà stare in piedi il suo regno? Voi dite che io scaccio i demòni per mezzo di Beelzebùl. Ma se io scaccio i demòni per mezzo di Beelzebùl, i vostri figli per mezzo di chi li scacciano? Per questo saranno loro i vostri giudici. Se invece io scaccio i demòni con il dito di Dio, allora è giunto a voi il regno di Dio.Quando un uomo forte, bene armato, fa la guardia al suo palazzo, ciò che possiede è al sicuro. Ma se arriva uno più forte di lui e lo vince, gli strappa via le armi nelle quali confidava e ne spartisce il bottino.Chi non è con me, è contro di me, e chi non raccoglie con me, disperde.Quando lo spirito impuro esce dall'uomo, si aggira per luoghi deserti cercando sollievo e, non trovandone, dice: "Ritornerò nella mia casa, da cui sono uscito". Venuto, la trova spazzata e adorna. Allora va, prende altri sette spiriti peggiori di lui, vi entrano e vi prendono dimora. E l'ultima condizione di quell'uomo diventa peggiore della prima».Parola del Signore.

In recent months, public health advocates in the United States have raised concerns about proposed changes to vaccine policy, cuts to food assistance programs, rollbacks of environmental protections and reductions in public health staffing. Chief among them has been Dr. Georges Benjamin who, as executive director of the American Public Health Association (APHA) since 2002, has led national efforts to create a healthier America. Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith recently sat down with Dr. Benjamin to understand more about the current state of public health and explore the path forward, and learned that a top priority for APHA is battling the misinformation that Dr. Benjamin believes is fueling support for many of these changes. “The challenge we have right now is that as a society, we've gone into our little corners and live in our own ecosystems. More people are getting their information from a single source and they're not validating that information to make sure that it's true.” Tune into this thoughtful and timely conversation to hear Dr. Benjamin's advice for curbing the spread of misinformation, how APHA is trying to help people understand the value of public health initiatives, and what the U.S. can learn from other countries about improving public health. Mentioned in this episode:American Public Health Association If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

- Premi il tasto PLAY per ascoltare la catechesi del giorno e condividi con altri se vuoi -+ Dal Vangelo secondo Luca +Gesù si trovava in un luogo a pregare; quando ebbe finito, uno dei suoi discepoli gli disse: «Signore, insegnaci a pregare, come anche Giovanni ha insegnato ai suoi discepoli».Ed egli disse loro: «Quando pregate, dite:Padre,sia santificato il tuo nome,venga il tuo regno;dacci ogni giorno il nostro pane quotidiano,e perdona a noi i nostri peccati,anche noi infatti perdoniamo a ogni nostro debitore,e non abbandonarci alla tentazione».Parola del Signore.

- Premi il tasto PLAY per ascoltare la catechesi del giorno e condividi con altri se vuoi -+ Dal Vangelo secondo Luca +In quel tempo, un dottore della Legge si alzò per mettere alla prova Gesù e chiese: «Maestro, che cosa devo fare per ereditare la vita eterna?». Gesù gli disse: «Che cosa sta scritto nella Legge? Come leggi?». Costui rispose: «Amerai il Signore tuo Dio con tutto il tuo cuore, con tutta la tua anima, con tutta la tua forza e con tutta la tua mente, e il tuo prossimo come te stesso». Gli disse: «Hai risposto bene; fa' questo e vivrai».Ma quello, volendo giustificarsi, disse a Gesù: «E chi è mio prossimo?». Gesù riprese: «Un uomo scendeva da Gerusalemme a Gèrico e cadde nelle mani dei briganti, che gli portarono via tutto, lo percossero a sangue e se ne andarono, lasciandolo mezzo morto. Per caso, un sacerdote scendeva per quella medesima strada e, quando lo vide, passò oltre. Anche un levìta, giunto in quel luogo, vide e passò oltre. Invece un Samaritano, che era in viaggio, passandogli accanto, vide e ne ebbe compassione. Gli si fece vicino, gli fasciò le ferite, versandovi olio e vino; poi lo caricò sulla sua cavalcatura, lo portò in un albergo e si prese cura di lui. Il giorno seguente, tirò fuori due denari e li diede all'albergatore, dicendo: "Abbi cura di lui; ciò che spenderai in più, te lo pagherò al mio ritorno". Chi di questi tre ti sembra sia stato prossimo di colui che è caduto nelle mani dei briganti?». Quello rispose: «Chi ha avuto compassione di lui». Gesù gli disse: «Va' e anche tu fa' così».Parola del Signore.

“Probably the most exciting thing I've seen in gene therapy over the last ten years is we now have a lot of tools for selective delivery, which will hopefully make treatments more safe and a lot more successful,” says Dr. Jessica Duis, a geneticist and pediatrician focused on the management of individuals with complex, rare disorders. Dr. Duis, who has worked on several gene therapies that are now approved or progressing through the accelerated approval pathway, is currently VP of Clinical Development at GondolaBio, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapeutics for genetic diseases. As you'll learn in this Year of the Zebra episode with host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Duis is encouraged by other recent advances in genetic technology as well, and thinks momentum will grow as breakthrough treatments emerge. “I think we're hopefully going to continue to see companies that are working in rare disease be more successful and really drive how regulators think about making decisions in terms of bringing treatments to patients. I think we're at the tip of the iceberg in terms of the future of truly transformational therapies.”  This wide ranging conversation also explores Dr. Duis' team approach to patient care, her work on clinical endpoints, the importance of patient communities, and her book series, Rare Siblings Stories.Mentioned in this episode:GondolaBioRareDiseaseDocElsevier Healthcare Hub on Rare DiseasesRare Sibling Stories If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.
