In this Part 2 of the Alloutcoach podcast episode focused on phage therapy to fight infections and antimicrobial resistance, I spoke to the Chief Physician at the globally leading center of excellence of an alternative, effective treatment approach to antibiotics, Dr. Dea Nizharadze at the Eliava Phage Therapy Center (EPTC) based in Tbilisi, Georgia. She explains the basic principles of phage treatments, its unique qualities, advantages and real-world clinical examples of methods and types of patients and infections this personalized therapy specifically targets. 0:00 Episode Introduction 1:42 Why the Republic of Georgia is a global leader in phage therapy 2:39 How phage therapy works in bacterial infections?Eliava Phage Therapy Center (EPTC) was founded in 1923 by Professor George Eliava who had collaborated with Felix D'Herelle, who had discovered phages, and while most other countries turned to antibiotics only, it is the only institution in the world that has continued to research bacteriophages without a pause of even one day since its inception and therefore collected the greatest research and real-world clinical experience with phages. 5:34 How do phages work to eradicate or stop further growth of bacteria? Phages are biological "weapons" against bacteria, namely viruses that target specific microbes only, without destroying the "good" bacteria or microbiota. They are naturally occurring substances and have no safety concerns. In some patients with antimicrobial resistance phage therapy enables improvement in sensitivity. 10:42 Synergistic effect of phage combination therapy with antibiotics 11:58 Phage Therapy Doisng and Success Factors 15:14 Length of phage treatmentIn chronic infections phage therapy may divided into 3 stages and last 15-20 days, and varies by nature and severity of disease. Patient treatment includes days off therapy, or holidays, however, bacterial analysis is continued and patient condition is monitored throughout the entire course of treatment. Success of therapy is indicated when bacterial titers and virulence decrease or bacteria are eradicated. Patient's objective and subjective signs and symptoms often vary throughout response to therapy. 16:42 Phage Product Variability and Market Availability How do we ensure educating patients to access the correct, most appropriate therapy for their infections 17:35 Multi-disciplinary personalized team care and telemedicine 19:53 Steps for patients outside of Georgia to access phage therapy via telemedicine? 24:04 Affordability and access to phage treatments 25:23 How to contact Eliava Phage Therapy Center

In this special episode I spoke with an international guest from my native country, Republic of Georgia, and global ambassador of a critical alternative solution against tough chronic infections and antimicrobial resistance on behalf of a global center of excellence in bacteriophage therapy, discovered over 100 years ago. My guest, Davit Sturua, Doctor of Business Administration, Public Health and Medical Tourism expert, is the director of the Eliava Phage Therapy Center, a global leader in real-world, clinical, research, and commercial experience with naturally occurring bacteriophage treatments. He discusses the Georgian center's 100-year old history and evolution, its extensive experience treating patients across 84 countries, explains the current global public health problem, and provides an update along with rationale on the recent growth in clinical studies investigating phage therapy across the globe in this part 1 of 2 episodes on this topic. Watch this episode with English subtitles to learn about how you, your friends, family, healthcare payers and experts, healthcare providers, patients and their loved ones can consider alternative options via telemedicine or in person to treat chronic, tough bacterial infections or prevent antimicrobial resistance. Stay tuned for the next episode (part 2) on this topic with my guest Dr. Dea Nizharadze, Chief Physician at the Eliava Phage Therapy Center, who delves deeper into the typical course of treatment, patient journey, and various scientific attributes of phage treatments. 0:00 Introduction 0:08 Introduction in English 2:19 Special Guest Mr. Davit Sturua, Director of Eliava Phage Therapy Center Introduction in English 4:34 Episode Introduction in Georgian (English subtitles) 4:53 Overview of Part 1: Overview of 100-year history of Eliava Phage Therapy Center, its advances, growth, current goals and Part 2: Scientific Rationale for phage treatment, appropriate patients, typical course of treatment, and access to care for patients worldwide 5:54 Davit's personal inspiration and history at the Eliava Center 10:27 How is EPTC raising awareness about phage therapy outside of Georgia? The center has treated patients from 84 different countries in 2023 alone. The majority of patients internationally who obtain care from EPTC suffer from various antibiotic-resistant or chronic infections. 12:20 5 million patients die from antimicrobial resistantce every year - underestimation, with tens of millions of deaths projected by 2050 13:04 Future Scientific and Commercial goals of Eliava Center to expand globally, standardize phage production to meet GMP standards, conduct randomized clinical studies and secure access for patients worldwide 15:23 Challenges in scaling phage production and quality standardization. Georgia is currently a global leader in commercial production of bacterial phage treatments. While only a few years ago there were only a handful of clinical studies conducted globally, currently there are over 50 clinical studies in 2023-2024 alone over the past year being conducted in the United States alone. Similarly, other European countries, particularly Great Britain are also actively pursuing and advancing clinical research in bacteriophage therapies. Government and research funding in phage treatment is therefore continuing to grow rapidly. 18:33 Final Greetings - Conclusion of Part 1. Invitation to partner across Europe and the U.S. with the Eliava Phage Therapy Center

Podcast Description: In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Drs. Christhardt Köhler and Achim Schneider to discuss radical vaginal trachelectomy. Prof. Christhardt Köhler is a highly accomplished gynecologist and obstetrician specializing in oncological gynecology. He is the Chief Physician of the Department of Gynecology at Asklepios Hospital Altona Hamburg and has won the Briker Award and the Robert B. Hunt Endowed Award. Dr. Kohler is a member of several professional associations, including the German Society for Gynecology and Obstetrics. His expertise is recognized worldwide, and he is listed in the FOCUS top list of physicians for gynecological operations and tumors. He has 1381 scientific publications focusing on spinal muscular atrophy, cervical cancer, and innovative gynecological surgery approaches. Achim Schneider, born on September 17, 1950, in Augsburg, is a distinguished German gynecologist and obstetrician. He earned his doctorate in 1975 and has since made significant contributions to the field, including pioneering new laparoscopic surgical techniques in gynecological oncology in Germany. Schneider held prestigious professorships at the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena and the Charité in Berlin. He has focused on the diagnosis and treatment of genital neoplasms, HPV-associated ano-genital neoplasms, and fertility-preserving surgery for cervical cancer patients. Currently, he heads the dysplasia consultation at the Medical Care Center in Berlin, continuing his impactful work in minimally invasive procedures and cancer prevention. Highlights: Radical vaginal trachelectomy is a fertility-preserving treatment for early cervical cancer, but large studies on its outcomes are lacking. In a study of 471 patients (median age 33), 62% sought pregnancy with a 73% success rate, and 46% experienced pre-term delivery; recurrences occurred in 3.4% of cases, with a 2.1% mortality rate. The study confirms the oncologic safety of the procedure and suggests that high pre-term delivery rates may be due to cervical volume loss, providing a benchmark for future surgical modifications

The carbon footprint of healthcare has been estimated to be 4 to 5% of the worldwide total. To put this number into perspective, if “healthcare” was a country, it would be the fifth largest emitter in the world, coming in just behind China, the United States, India, and Russia. Today we face pressing global issues like climate change and an energy crisis, that impact our health and wellbeing. It becomes crucial then, that the healthcare industry not only takes responsibility for health, but also actively works towards reducing the impact of the environment on people's health – especially by reducing emissions and consumption of resources.In this episode, Shikha Pillai, Global Head of Sustainability at Siemens Healthineers, is joined by Dr. Elmar Merkle, Head of the Department of Radiology and Chief Physician for Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at the University Hospital Basel in Switzerland; as well as Dr. Christopher Hess, Chair of the Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging at the University of California San Francisco; and Dr. Clemens Juettner, Chief Sustainability Officer at Sana Kliniken in Munich. These experts in radiology and sustainability are talking about what the sector is doing to implement consumption-reducing measures that can lead to not only operational efficiency, but also contribute significantly to our sustainable future.What You'll Learn in This Episode: • For hospitals around the globe, the perpetual “idling” state of imagining machines contributes to the huge carbon footprint of radiology departments. • On a global average, one hospital bed consumes the same amount of energy as four family homes annually. • Major strides have been made toward more energy efficient imaging machines, but the most pressing issue is encouraging their use by the medical community. • The production and delivery of imaging equipment can have massive environmental repercussions. • It's not just carbon footprint that can be reduced by greener radiology practices: cost is also a crucial factor.Connect with Shikha Pillai· LinkedInConnect with Clemens Juettner· LinkedInConnect with Christopher Hess· LinkedInConnect with Elmar Merkle· LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

This week, we continue our Nashville Health Care Council Sessions series with an episode focused on the industry's stepwise progression to value-based care (VBC). The shift to value is something that everyone across the healthcare continuum supports in principle, but achieving it is a massive economic and technological undertaking. Ingrained structural challenges have made the transition slower than hoped. Onstage at Sessions, speakers talked about how the unsustainability of our current healthcare spend is forcing the issue. That, combined with creative new models from entrepreneurs and national organizations, are helping to finally make an accelerated transition to value feasible for providers, payers, patients and every stakeholder in between.    We spoke with Dr. Wyatt Decker, Executive Vice President and Chief Physician for Value Based Care and Innovation at UnitedHealth Group, and Rob Allen, CEO of Intermountain Health, about the innovations that will be necessary to streamline VBC, as well as their respective philosophies about long-term health in a volume-based world.   Key Points:   VBC is only possible at scale if everyone works together. The most formidable roadblock to value is its operational complexity, requiring every stakeholder to rethink how they administer and measure the success of their services.   The shift to value poses incredible business opportunities for entrepreneurs. From the need for better clinical data tracking to changes in risk sharing to disjointed communication between payers and providers, there is a lot of space to fill for specialized start-ups. Per Dr. Decker: “We work with entrepreneurs of all sizes in terms of their business who have solutions.”  Achieving VBC hinges on better systems for understanding patients' needs. Large providers and payers will rely more heavily on personal relationships with individuals to ensure the clinical understanding necessary to set and achieve health metrics.   Data is top down and bottom up. While VBC is tailored to the individual, it can only be achieved through a clear understanding of community and population-level data. Data collection and analysis have finally reached a point where the resulting information can be used effectively to drive population health.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Transcript:Hello! This is Pastor Don of Christ Redeemer Church. Welcome to The Kingdom Perspective! Though ancient Christians practiced the strictest sexual ethic of their day, they were anything but judgmental towards those ravaged by the effects of sexual sin. The followers of Jesus were distinguished by the grace they extended to those exploited by the sexual confusion and callousness of Roman culture. The church was seen as a place of healing. Not a trophy case for saints, but a hospital for sinners! Now, why was this the case? Well, classical Christianity teaches us that sin is not just bad things we do. Rather, it is a deep dysfunction that causes destruction in both soul and society. When we participate in sexual sin, it tears at the very fabric of human nature. When someone commits sin against us, it's as if they are pulling on a thread in our soul's fabric, causing us to unravel. Anyone who has been the victim of such sin can testify to its lasting negative impact. Now, arguably, the ancient world was not much different than our own, rife with both perpetrators and victims of sexual sin—people whose lives were unraveling. Into that world came the radically restorative message of Jesus. Jesus's main mission was not to condemn, but to mend and heal that which sin had destroyed—to make us whole. It is for this reason that the church became a place of healing. This was true not only because of the healthy sexual ethic it practiced (truth), but also because it so welcomed the victims of a bad sexual ethic (grace). It didn't require wholeness; it created it. The church was a hospital and like its Chief Physician (the Lord Jesus), it was full of both grace and truth. Something to think about from The Kingdom Perspective. …but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground. But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”~ John 8:1-11 (ESV) Some sources to consider: The Rise of Christianity: A Sociologist Reconsiders History by Rodney Stark (Princeton University Press 2020). The Patient Ferment of the Early Church: The Improbably Rise of Christianity in the Roman Empire by Alan Kreider (Baker Academic 2016).

A deep, inspiring, and often challenging study of the Lord Jesus Christ's miracles and parables. Men who were led by the hand or groped their way along the wall to reach Jesus were touched by his finger and went home without a guide, rejoicing that Jesus Christ had opened their eyes. Jesus is still able to perform such miracles. And, with the power of the Holy Spirit, his Word will be expounded and we'll watch for the signs to follow, expecting to see them at once. Why shouldn't those who read this be blessed with the light of heaven? This is my heart's inmost desire. I can't put fine words together. I've never studied speech. In fact, my heart loathes the very thought of intentionally speaking with fine words when souls are in danger of eternal separation from God. No, I work to speak straight to your hearts and consciences, and if there is anyone with faith to receive, God will bless them with fresh revelation. - Charles H. Spurgeon In this fourth volume, Charles H. Spurgeon expounds in marvelous detail on the following miracles: • Jesus tells Simon to cast his net on the other side of the boat and he obeys. (Luke 5:4-5) • Jesus heals the centurion's servant and marveled because of the centurion's great faith. (Matthew 8:7-10; Luke 7:4-8) • Jesus casts an unclean spirit out of a man, and all are amazed at His authority. (Mark 1:21-28) • Jesus heals the persistent Gentile woman's daughter and compliments her remarkable faith. (Matthew 15:24-28)

The Physician's Work for Souls Every medical practitioner may through faith in Christ have in his possession a cure of the highest value, a remedy for the sin-sick soul. The physician who is converted and sanctified through the truth is registered in heaven as a laborer together with God, a follower of Jesus Christ. Through the sanctification of the truth God gives to physicians and nurses wisdom and skill in treating the sick, and this work is opening the fast-closed door to many hearts. Men and women are led to understand the truth which is needed to save the soul as well as the body. This is an element that gives character to the work for this time. The medical missionary work is as the right arm to the third angel's message which must be proclaimed to a fallen world; and physicians, managers, and workers in any line, in acting faithfully their part, are doing the work of the message. Thus the sound of the truth will go forth to every nation and kindred and tongue and people. In this work the heavenly angels bear a part. They awaken spiritual joy and melody in the hearts of those who have been freed from suffering, and thanksgiving to God arises from the lips of many who have received the precious truth. Every physician in our ranks should be a Christian. Only those physicians who are genuine Bible Christians can discharge aright the high duties of their profession. The physician who understands the responsibility and accountability of his position will feel the necessity of Christ's presence with him in his work for those for whom such a sacrifice has been made. He will subordinate everything to the higher interests which concern the life that may be saved unto life eternal. He will do all in his power to save both the body and the soul. He -230- will try to do the very work that Christ would do were He in his place. The physician who loves Christ and the souls for whom Christ died will seek earnestly to bring into the sickroom a leaf from the tree of life. He will try to break the bread of life to the sufferer. Notwithstanding the obstacles and difficulties to be met, this is the solemn, sacred work of the medical profession. True missionary work is that in which the Saviour's work is best represented, His methods most closely copied, His glory best promoted. Missionary work that falls short of this standard is recorded in heaven as defective. It is weighed in the balances of the sanctuary and found wanting. Physicians should seek to direct the minds of their patients to Christ, the Physician of soul and body. That which physicians can only attempt to do, Christ accomplishes. The human agent strives to prolong life. Christ is life itself. He who passed through death to destroy him that had the power of death is the Source of all vitality. There is balm in Gilead, and a Physician there. Christ endured an agonizing death under the most humiliating circumstances that we might have life. He gave up His precious life that He might vanquish death. But He rose from the tomb, and the myriads of angels who came to behold Him take up the life He had laid down heard His words of triumphant joy as He stood above Joseph's rent sepulcher proclaiming: "I am the resurrection, and the life." The question, "If a man die, shall he live again?" has been answered. By bearing the penalty of sin, by going down into the grave, Christ has brightened the tomb for all who die in faith. God in human form has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. In dying, Christ secured eternal life for all who believe in -231- Him. In dying, He condemned the originator of sin and disloyalty to suffer the penalty of sin--eternal death. The possessor and giver of eternal life, Christ was the only one who could conquer death. He is our Redeemer; and blessed is every physician who is in a true sense of the word a missionary, a savior of souls for whom Christ gave His life. Such a physician learns day by day from the Great Physician how to watch and work for the saving of the souls and bodies of men and women. The Saviour is present in the sickroom, in the operating room; and His power for His name's glory accomplishes great things. The physician can do a noble work if he is connected with the Great Physician. To the relatives of the sick, whose hearts are full of sympathy for the sufferer, he may find opportunity to speak the words of life; and he can soothe and uplift the mind of the sufferer by leading him to look to the One who can save to the uttermost all who come to Him for salvation. When the Spirit of God works on the mind of the afflicted one, leading him to inquire for truth, let the physician work for the precious soul as Christ would work for it. Do not urge upon him any special doctrine, but point him to Jesus as the sin-pardoning Saviour. Angels of God will impress the mind. Some will refuse to be illuminated by the light which God would let shine into the chambers of the mind and into the soul-temple; but many will respond to the light, and from these minds deception and error in its various forms will be swept away. Every opportunity of working as Christ worked should be carefully improved. The physician should talk of the works of healing wrought by Christ, of His tenderness and love. He should believe that Jesus is his companion, -232- close by his side. "We are laborers together with God." 1 Corinthians 3:9. Never should the physician neglect to direct the minds of his patients to Christ, the Chief Physician. If he has the Saviour abiding in his own heart, his thoughts will ever be directed to the Healer of soul and body. He will lead the minds of sufferers to Him who can restore, who when on earth restored the sick to health and healed the soul as well as the body, saying: "Son, thy sins be forgiven thee." Mark 2:5. Never should familiarity with suffering cause the physician to become careless or unsympathetic. In cases of dangerous illness the afflicted one feels that he is at the mercy of the physician. He looks to that physician as his only earthly hope, and the physician should ever point the trembling soul to One who is greater than himself, even the Son of God, who gave His life to save him from death, who pities the sufferer, and who by His divine power will give skill and wisdom to all who ask Him. When the patient knows not how his case will turn, is the time for the physician to impress the mind. He should not do this with a desire to distinguish himself, but that he may point the soul to Christ as a personal Saviour. If the life is spared, there is a soul for that physician to watch for. The patient feels that the physician is the very life of his life. And to what purpose should this great confidence be employed? Always to win a soul to Christ and magnify the power of God. When the crisis has passed and success is apparent, be the patient a believer or an unbeliever, let a few moments be spent with him in prayer. Give expression to your thankfulness for the life that has been spared. The physician who follows such a course carries his patient to the One upon whom he is dependent for life. Words of gratitude may flow from the patient to the physician, for through God he has bound this life up with his own; -233- but let the praise and thanksgiving be given to God as to One who is present though invisible. On the sickbed Christ is often accepted and confessed; and this will be done oftener in the future than it has been in the past, for a quick work will the Lord do in our world. Words of wisdom are to be on the lips of the physician, and Christ will water the seed sown, causing it to bring forth fruit unto eternal life. We lose the most precious opportunities by neglecting to speak a word in season. Too often a precious talent that ought to produce a thousandfold is left unused. If the golden privilege is not watched for, it will pass. Something was allowed to prevent the physician from doing his appointed work as a minister of righteousness. There are none too many godly physicians to minister in their profession. There is much work to be done, and ministers and doctors are to work in perfect union. Luke, the writer of the Gospel that bears his name, is called "the beloved physician," and those who do a work similar to that which he did are living out the gospel. Countless are the opportunities of the physician for warning the impenitent, cheering the disconsolate and hopeless, and prescribing for the health of mind and body. As he thus instructs the people in the principles of true temperance, and as a guardian of souls gives advice to those who are mentally and physically diseased, the physician is acting his part in the great work of making ready a people prepared for the Lord. This is what medical missionary work is to accomplish in its relation to the third angel's message. Ministers and physicians are to work harmoniously with earnestness to save souls that are becoming entangled in Satan's snares. They are to point men and women to Jesus, their righteousness, their strength, and the health of their countenance. Continually they are to watch for -234- souls. There are those who are struggling with strong temptations, in danger of being overcome in the fight with satanic agencies. Will you pass these by without offering them assistance? If you see a soul in need of help, engage in conversation with him even though you do not know him. Pray with him. Point him to Jesus. This work belongs just as surely to the doctor as to the minister. By public and private effort the physician should seek to win souls to Christ. In all our enterprises and in all our institutions God is to be acknowledged as the Master Worker. The physicians are to stand as His representatives. The medical fraternity have made many reforms, and they are still to advance. Those who hold the lives of human beings in their hands should be educated, refined, sanctified. Then will the Lord work through them in mighty power to glorify His name. Christ's work for the paralytic is an illustration of the way we are to work. Through his friends this man had heard of Jesus and requested to be brought into the presence of the mighty Healer. The Saviour knew that the paralytic had been tortured by the suggestions of the priests that because of his sins God had cast him off. Therefore His first work was to give him peace of mind. "Son," He said, "thy sins be forgiven thee." This assurance filled his heart with peace and joy. But some who were present began to murmur, saying in their hearts, "Who can forgive sins but God only?" Then that they might know that the Son of man had power to forgive sins, Christ said to the sick man: "Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house." This shows how the Saviour bound together the work of preaching the truth and healing the sick. -235- Unity in our Work As the medical missionary work becomes more extended, there will be a temptation to make it independent of our conferences. But it has been presented to me that this plan is not right. The different lines of our work are but parts of one great whole. They have one center. In Colossians we read: "The body is of Christ. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God." Colossians 2:17-19. Our work in all its lines is to demonstrate the influence of the cross. The work of God in the plan of salvation is not to be done in any disjointed way. It is not to operate at random. The plan that provided the influence of the cross provided also the methods of its diffusion. This method is simple in its principles and comprehensive in its plain, distinct lines. Part is connected with part in perfect order and relation. God has brought His people together in church capacity in order that they may reveal to the world the wisdom of Him who formed this organization. He knew what plans to outline for the efficiency and success of His people. Adherence to these plans will enable them to testify of the divine authorship of God's great plan for the restoration of the world. Those who take part in God's work are to be led and guided by Him. Every human ambition is to be merged in Christ, who is the head over all the institutions that God has established. He knows how to set in operation and keep in operation His own agencies. He knows that -236- the cross must occupy the central place because it is the means of man's atonement and because of the influence it exerts on every part of the divine government. The Lord Jesus, who has been through all the history of our world, understands the methods that should be invested with power over human minds. He knows the importance of every agency and understands how the varied agencies should be related one to another. "None of us liveth to himself." Romans 14:7. This is a law of God in heaven and on earth. God is the great center. From Him all life proceeds. To Him all service, homage, and allegiance belong. For all created beings there is the one great principle of life--dependence upon and co-operation with God. The relationship existing in the pure family of God in heaven was to exist in the family of God on earth. Under God, Adam was to stand at the head of the earthly family to maintain the principles of the heavenly family. This would have brought peace and happiness. But the law that none "liveth to himself" Satan was determined to oppose. He desired to live for self. He sought to make himself a center of influence. It was this that incited rebellion in heaven, and it was man's acceptance of this principle that brought sin on earth. When Adam sinned, man broke away from the heaven-ordained center. A demon became the central power in the world. Where God's throne should have been, Satan had placed his throne. The world laid its homage, as a willing offering, at the feet of the enemy. Who could bring in the principles ordained by God in His rule and government to counterwork the plans of Satan and bring the world back to its loyalty? God said: I will send My Son. "God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." -237- John 3:16. This is the remedy for sin. Christ says: "Where Satan has set his throne, there shall stand My cross. Satan shall be cast out, and I will be lifted up to draw all men unto Me. I will become the center of the redeemed world. The Lord God shall be exalted. Those who are now controlled by human ambition, human passions, shall become workers for Me. Evil influences have conspired to counterwork all good. They have confederated to make men think it righteous to oppose the law of Jehovah. But My army shall meet in conflict with the satanic force. My Spirit shall combine with every heavenly agency to oppose them. I will engage every sanctified human agency in the universe. None of My agencies are to be absent. I have work for all who love Me, employment for every soul who will work under My direction. The activity of Satan's army, the danger that surrounds the human soul, calls for the energies of every worker. But no compulsion shall be exercised. Man's depravity is to be met by the love, the patience, the long-suffering of God. My work shall be to save those who are under Satan's rule." Through Christ, God works to bring man back to his first relation to his Creator and to correct the disorganizing influences brought in by Satan. Christ alone stood unpolluted in a world of selfishness, where men would destroy a friend or a brother in order to accomplish a scheme put into their hands by Satan. Christ came to our world, clothing His divinity with humanity, that humanity might touch humanity and divinity grasp divinity. Amid the din of selfishness He could say to men: Return to your center--God. He Himself made it possible for man to do this by carrying out in this world the principles of heaven. In humanity He lived the law of God. To men in every nation, every country, every clime, He will impart heaven's choicest gifts if they -238- will accept God as their Creator and Christ as their Redeemer. Christ alone can do this. His gospel in the hearts and hands of His followers is the power which is to accomplish this great work. "O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God!" By Himself becoming subject to Satan's misrepresentations, Christ made it possible for the work of redemption to be accomplished. Thus was Satan to show himself to be the cause of disloyalty in God's universe. Thus was to be forever settled the great controversy between Christ and Satan. Satan strengthens the destructive tendencies of man's nature. He brings in envy, jealousy, selfishness, covetousness, emulation, and strife for the highest place. Evil agencies act their part through the devising of Satan. Thus the enemy's plans, with their destructive tendencies, have been brought into the church. Christ comes with His own redeeming influence, proposing through the agency of His Spirit to impart His efficiency to men, and to employ them as His instrumentalities, laborers together with Him in seeking to draw the world back to its loyalty. Men are bound in fellowship, in dependence, to one another. By the golden links of the chain of love they are to be bound fast to the throne of God. This can be done only by Christ's imparting to finite man the attributes which man would ever have possessed had he remained loyal and true to God. Those who, through an intelligent understanding of the Scriptures, view the cross aright, those who truly believe in Jesus, have a sure foundation for their faith. They have that faith which works by love and purifies the soul from all its hereditary and cultivated imperfections. Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 6 pp. 229-238

Born in Portugal, Dr. Roderigo Lopez fled to England in the 16th century as a Jewish refugee. His family was Jewish, forced to convert to Catholicism, and when he arrived in England he joined the Church of England to become Protestant while still practicing Jewish rituals at home. Serving at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in 1576, Lopez rose through the ranks as a doctor until he was the Chief Physician there. He served as doctor to some of England's most notable dignitaries including Sir Francis Walsingham, Robert Dudley, the Earl of Leicester, Robert Devereaux, the Earl of Essex, and even Queen Elizabeth herself. These highly prestigious professional connections were  a boon for Dr. Lopez' medical career, but the danger of these connections led to Dr. Lopez being entangled with spies and ultimately to his execution on grounds of plotting an assasination against Queen Elizabeth. The scandal of Dr. Lopez' trial in 1594 happened while Shakespeare was in London, and the cultural anti-semitism of 16th century England that played a role in Lopez' conviction is echoed in some of the references to Jews we find in Shakespeare's plays. Here today to tell us the story of Roderigo Lopez and his part in the life of William Shakespeare is our guest, Susan Abernethy.

Our prayer focus this morning was John’s teaching about Jesus Christ in order to convince us that Jesus is the Christ; our Messiah, the One Who fulfilled All of God’s Precious Promises and Wonderful Benefits to not only Israel, but for us as well. John taught also that Jesus Christ is the Son of God come in the flesh. To be the Son of Man. And that by us believing what he is teaching anyone can obtain eternal life as we read in John 1:12: kjv. So John helps us see and believe that we may go forth believing that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing we might have life through Jesus Christ Name amen. What name? I’m the Bread of Life; I’m the Light of the World; I’m the Door of Sheep; I’m Good Shepherd; I’m the Resurrection and the Life; I’m the Way, the Truth, and the Life; I’m the True Vine. Anyone who believe on Me as the Scripture has said, though he being dead, yet shall he live. Yes, and I’m the Son of Man as I’m the Son of God that you might believe. In My Resurrection Power! Yes, I’m your Divine Teacher that you might believe. I’m the Only Wise God your Savior. Yes, I’m your Greatest Soul-Winner because I love souls. Therefore, I love soul and come to earth to win soul by drawing them with my love and kindness that you might believe that I’m that I’m and I do what I decree and promise. Yes, when it comes to all manner of Healing, I’m your Great and Chief Physician. And I make every bitter experience sweet that you might believe in Me! I will bend with My love and compassion over you and anyone else to heal you. And over all who are suffering at the pools of this world’s pain, infirmity, sickness, disease, injury, affliction, and the places of the ill that you might believe that I’m Who that I say that I’m and believe? I’m available to show all of creation My Divine Power by the instantaneous cure of an hopeless world without Me. I will forgive their sins and heal their land! If they turn from their wicked ways now says the Lord! Also that you might believe on Jesus Christ and receive Eternal Salvation through Him according John 20:30-31 kjv. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pastor-lester-hayes/message

COVID-19:  Troponin, Abx, Chloroquine, X-rays, Rationing Tests, Public Health Responsibilities Rob Orman MD and Rick Pescatore DO   In this episode I speak with Dr. Rick Pescatore, Chief Physician for Preparedness for the state of Delaware and a front-line emergency physician.  While the general topic is the COVID-19 pandemic, specific issues discussed include: triage decisions, X-rays, troponin, what to do when there’s limited testing ability, antibiotics, chloroquine, viable strategies for managing homeless populations, and more.  Let’s go.   We’re in this strange time of limited testing capacity (due to insufficient swabs, testing kits, universal transport media, lab equipment, etc.)  with an exploding infection. If you are working in an area where COVID is rampant and you can only test a select population, what is the highest yield?    When you have a dearth of tests, they need to be rationed.   Patients who come in in respiratory distress and with obvious upper and lower respiratory illness need to be assumed to have COVID until proven otherwise. The decision has to move away from identifying who is at risk for deterioration or for having the disease and needs to move toward identifying who is at risk for infecting others. This is a constantly evolving process and recommendations will change.  But FOR NOW, when tests are limited, Rick recommends we use those tests to mitigate disease spread.  DO NOT TEST:  the asymptomatic or the mildly symptomatic. DO TEST:  hospitalized patients with respiratory illness, symptomatic people who are likely to put others at risk (health care workers, mass transit drivers, law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMS providers.  As emergency physicians, it’s incumbent upon us to not forget about our differential diagnosis.  We don’t want to focus so much on COVID that we miss pulmonary emboli and other life-threatening causes of respiratory distress.   Are there specific symptoms that can identify who is more likely to deteriorate?  The only sign or symptom that seems to have any discriminatory capability for severe disease is a patient complaint of shortness of breath.   Other risk possible factors:  males, elderly, diabetics.   Tent management Who should get a chest x-ray?    Have a low threshold for CXR in those with chest pain, SOB, severe cough, rhonchi, and/or rales.  We must remember, however, that the Chinese data showed that the overwhelming majority of patients had radiographic findings whether or not they had severe disease.   When should we send patients to the ED for further testing (CBC, ECG, troponin, other labs) and advanced treatment?   Lacking evidence to guide us, we rely on our gestalt to separate the sick from the not sick. If there’s any concern about myocarditis, ED evaluation is mandatory. Pneumonia severity scoring tools can be helpful to guide disposition.   Should we give antibiotics to the “not so sick” patient with infiltrate(s) on x-ray?   Yes. Azithromycin is the antibiotic of choice due to its antibacterial and immunomodulatory properties.   What about hydroxychloroquine or chloroquine?   There is limited but justifiable data showing that implementation of one of these agents may be effective at stopping viral replication. Dosing recommendations are all over the map, but many suggest a 400 mg loading dose followed by 2oo mg bid for the duration of the illness. Studies in California are looking at hydroxychloroquine for prophylaxis for providers.  These drugs have few side effects and are not at this time a limited resource.  Both azithro and chloroquine are QTc prolonging   Once a patient is triaged from the tent to the ED, what is the inflection point for admission to the hospital and what work-up should be initiated?   Many who are identified to be sick enough to come into the ED are going to require hospitalization. Labs should include:  CBC, BMP, troponin, CRP, and procalcitonin.  Troponin elevation has been found more common in non-survivors and those with critical illness CRP is one of several inflammatory markers that, when elevated, can indicate cytokine storm. This subset of patients has a prognosis of severe disease with different avenues of treatment. Procalcitonin has been used in China to help determine when antibiotics can be stopped.   What should be the disposition for homeless patients with suspected COVID who do not meet admission criteria based on their clinical severity?   These patients are going to need assistance from the public health infrastructure of the state or region. There will need to be structures (tents, buildings, etc.) dedicated to house these patients. The general public will soon recognize what we have known for ages:  the social safety net of the ED and of the hospital cannot continue to weather the strain of the social service failures that are prevalent throughout the nation.   Troponin in COVID ACC Update on Troponin and BNP March 18 Link ACC Cardiologist’s Perspective Treating COVID in China Link   Chen C, Chen C, Yan JT, Zhou N, Zhao JP, Wang DW.

“Inhale fresh, life-giving oxygen… exhale toxic, dead carbon dioxide,” said my yoga teacher. I've heard some variation of this hundreds of times in classes. Oxygen is good, carbon dioxide is bad. In with the good, out with the bad. Right?  As it turns out, this kindergarten understanding of breathing physiology is wrong. Most of us could really benefit from more CO2 because it opens up your air passageways, relaxes smooth muscle tissues, and allows for greater absorption of oxygen. Lack of CO2 actually leads to a lack of oxygen. Confused yet? Don't worry, you're not alone.  On this week's show, we'll set the record straight and help you understand why slow breathing boosts CO2, and why that's a good thing.  Listen & Learn:   The CO2 paradox: why you need carbon dioxide to actually absorb oxygen Why 4-6 liters of air per minute is what we need but most people breathe 2x that much  How over-breathing reduces (not increases) oxygen levels Why over-breathing and mouth breathing is associated with dozens of neurological disorders and diseases  How to slow down your breath  Links & Resources:  Artour's Site ABOUT OUR GUEST  Dr. Artour Rahkimov has been teaching the Buteyko method and breath retraining to thousands of students for more than 17 years.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be a model healthcare system?  In this interview, Dr. Mark Briesacher provides us with profound insight into how Intermountain Healthcare consistently maintains its position at the forefront of clinical outcomes, improvement & innovation.  Mark informs us that the organization's original charge was to create “a Model Healthcare System.” What you'll discover in this interview is how he and his colleagues have taken that charge to heart.One manifestation of that charge is the "Clinical Reorganization” being deployed to create a consumer-oriented, community-based model of healthcare.  Dr. Briesacher describes a two-part construct - a highly innovative community division focused on long-term health, prevention & wellness; and an acute, episodic-care division composed of specialty surgical/medical centers-of-excellence.  Mark discusses the unique contributions of each, and also emphasizes the synergistic intersection between them - which leads to optimal decisions about appropriateness of care as well as world class health outcomes. Another example of creating 'a Model Healthcare System’ is the innovative insurance product called ‘SelectHealth Share’ - an offering of Intermountain’s embedded SelectHealth Plan. This product creates explicit shared accountability between the Employers/Employees (customer), the SelectHealth Plan & Intermountain Healthcare providers.  All of this contributes to what Mark refers to as a “community” of health.  A third illustration of creating 'a Model Healthcare System" is the consumer-oriented, digitally-powered, transformational patient experience that Intermountain Healthcare is building - which, as Mark points out,  “… all starts with the digital front door that removes as much friction as possible.” Toward the end of our interview, Mark shares a number of heartwarming and inspiring stories from his upbringing.  Please don't miss this! These snapshots provide us with an understanding of how and why his personal values are so highly aligned with Intermountain’s long-standing culture of excellence, integrity and community service.Mark is, without question, a highly capable and humble servant leader; and Intermountain Healthcare is the quintessential 'learning organization'.  Dr. Briesacher and his colleagues are brilliantly carrying out their charge to create 'a Model Healthcare System’.  There are numerous lessons and learnings to be gleaned & emulated from their example!As always I hope you get as much out of this interview as I have!Zeev Neuwirth, MD

In this episode of Creating a New Healthcare, Dr. Zeev Neuwirth interviews Stuart Levine - one of the most experienced & accomplished physician executives in the realm of value-based care.  Dr. Levine has been deeply engaged in providing comprehensive care under global capitation for decades.  He brings a clarity and practical wisdom to the complex topic of clinical care & cost stewardship; as well as a deep sense of professional responsibility to high quality, safe & effective patient-centered care.  He describes a managed care environment that is both practical and personalized.  He also describes a healthcare construct that is rewarding and sustainable for physicians & other providers of medical care.  In this in-depth interview, Stuart outlines ‘the six pillars of care’ - a time-tested and proven model for population-based, value-based care.  Stuart places a tremendously high premium on spending more upfront & supporting a relationship-based approach to patient care - which he has proven saves both lives & money.  He advocates for a human-centered care that is fiscally responsible.  The picture that Stuart paints provides us with hope for a better future in healthcare.

An ancient Egyptian hieroglyph at Saqqara declared Merit-Ptah as “the Chief Physician.” 4700 years after her achievement, we ask: How are women in science faring? It is a well-documented phenomenon that for all STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) subjects, the gender gap widens in the progression from undergraduate study, through graduate and post-doctoral work, up through academic appointment.… read more »
