With the increasing volume, sophistication, and intensity of cyber-attacks, hospitals need a paradigm shift to keep from being overwhelmed. Information security teams are constantly being asked to master these challenges while simultaneously reducing costs. Even without factoring in budget constraints, hiring enough staff qualified cybersecurity defenders is nearly impossible. This talk will present code dark – a novel approach to expanding the ranks of cybersecurity first responders and the other force-multipliers implemented by Children's National Hospital.

Mental health diagnoses are still considered “taboo” among a large portion of the African American community, so many children and adults remain untreated for mental illnesses that hold people back from living their best lives! That's why in this episode we take a closer look at the benefits of mental health therapy and common reasons why the prospect of receiving a diagnosis causes some to shy away from prioritizing mental health therapy altogether.   We flow through this conversation with Dr. Andrea Boudreaux.   She is a committed healthcare executive, medical psychologist and currently serves as Executive Director for Children's School Services, a subsidiary of Children's National Hospital where she oversees 200 school-based clinics, addresses the needs, and improves health outcomes and access for 90,000 children across the District of Columbia.    Providing access to quality academic experiences is only one amazing part of helping children reach their full potential. Another essential component is helping children, and the communities that raise them, prioritize mental health. Poor mental health can make it extremely difficult to apply academic and life knowledge. Tune in and learn ways to help children reach their fullest potential, as well as tips for navigating health systems as a person of color.    Resources mentioned in this episode: Children's National Hospital https://childrensnational.org/  National Alliance on Mental Illness https://www.nami.org/Home  The Association of Black Psychologists Inc.https://abpsi.org/    If you listen to this show on Apple Podcasts, please rate us and leave a review.

The world of cardiac electrophysiology can be daunting, so we suggest that you listen to this insightful conversation with the experts. Deputy Editor Dr. Zamaneh Kassiri (University of Alberta) interviews authors Dr. Crystal Ripplinger (University of California Davis), Dr. Nikki Posnack (The George Washington University and Children's National Hospital), Dr. Alexey Glukhov (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Dr. Matthew Kay (The George Washington University), Dr. Carol Ann Remme (Amsterdam University Medical Centers), and Dr. Alex Quinn (Dalhousie University) about their comprehensive new guidelines for assessment of cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmias in small animals. This thorough guidelines article by Ripplinger et al. covers many common electrophysiology approaches used in the field at the tissue level, whole heart level, and in vivo measurements. In addition, the authors dive into what parameters investigators may want to measure, providing helpful and clear guidance on how to calculate such parameters and what those parameters might mean in terms of electrophysiology remodeling and arrhythmia propensity. Both senior investigators and trainees will find these guidelines approachable and useful. Listen and learn from the experts.   Crystal M. Ripplinger, Alexey V. Glukhov, Matthew W. Kay, Bastiaan J.

This week we review a recent report from the team at Children's National Hospital in Washington, DC on their experience with the hybrid approach to high risk infants with ductal-dependent systemic circulation. Some patients get ductal stents and others not. How is this decision made? How difficult was it to change the approach of a center that had a reputation for excellence with a more 'traditional/Norwood/Stage I palliative' approach? Are there theoretical advantages to this approach for even 'low risk' patients? We speak with the senior author of this report, Dr. Can Yerebakan who is Associate Professor of Surgery at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. doi: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2021.11.103

Today we're joined by Seth Dillon, CEO of the Babylon Bee, to talk censorship, social media, and satire. We discuss his excellent defense of the pro-life stance during his recent appearance on "The Joe Rogan Experience." Then, we talk about Libs of TikTok's ban from Twitter last week after the account posted a recording of Children's National Hospital openly admitting to performing hysterectomies on minors. Libs of TikTok has been accused of "spreading misinformation" for merely reposting liberal content. We talk about why leftists are so quick to lie to get their way and how to push back against this double standard in reporting. We discuss the Google Play store taking Truth Social down to monitor safety guidelines and why Big Tech companies ultimately won't allow true free speech platforms. Then, we talk about the role of satire and comedy in society, why satirists have a moral responsibility in their work, and how we should respond to those who use outrage as a tool to bludgeon others into submission. --- Today's Sponsors: Genucel — go to genucel.com/ALLIE and use code "ALLIE" at checkout for a special discount.

The transgender movement is “a social contagion,” says Chris Elston, also known as "Billboard Chris."Elston has drawn international attention for his work to defend children against gender identity ideology. Wearing billboards on his front and back that say things like “Children cannot consent to puberty blockers,” He travels throughout Canada and the U.S. having conversations on sidewalks and street corners with men and women about the harms of the transgender movement. “I do see this as a cult that has permeated our entire society,” Elston says. “The biggest indicator of that might be how they [detransitioners] are treated when they decide to detransition, because they're given tons of love when they declare that they're trans, but the moment they declare they're not, they're cut off from their community, just like any cult.” Elston joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to explain why he's dedicating his time to educating society on the harms of gender identity ideology. He also discusses reports that Boston Children's Hospital and Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. are performing hysterectomies on minors. Enjoy the show!

Today we're discussing Biden's student loan debt plan and the progressive Christian argument about its morality. Many of these professing Christians have made the argument that the government "forgiving" student loan debt is akin to Jesus paying for our sins, but is this a fair comparison? We explain why it's not and give the biblical evidence to prove it. Then, last week, Libs of TikTok released audio from a phone call in which Children's National Hospital admitted to performing "gender-affirming" hysterectomies on minors 16 years old and younger. We discuss the backlash from mainstream media and her ban from Twitter in the aftermath. Then, we'll react to Lizzo's VMA acceptance speech, in which she claimed to be part of the "oppressed." --- Today's Sponsors: My Patriot Supply specializes in long-term emergency food storage.
