The ultimate goal of the church is not missions - it is worship. While God-exalting mission must be rooted in worship, God-honouring worship must be born out of mission. As the church, we are called to align our purposes with God's redemptive mission. Let's declare He reigns as we worship, pray and give.

Dr Jones: This is Dr Lyell Jones, Editor-in-Chief of Continuum Lifelong Learning in Neurology. Today, I'm interviewing Dr Kathy Chuang, who has recently authored an article on symptomatic management of myelopathy in the latest issue of Continuum, on spinal cord disorders. Dr. Chuang is a neurologist and physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist at Mass General, where she serves as Co-Director of the MGH Paralysis Program and Chief of the Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Program. Dr Chuang, welcome, and thank you for joining us today. Would you introduce yourself to our listeners? Dr Chuang: Hi, my name is Kathy Chuang. As you said, I'm a neurologist at Mass General Hospital specializing in neuromuscular medicine, also physiatry, physical medicine, and rehab. And I'm glad to be here. Dr Jones: Thank you for joining us. Basically, if we want to know more about managing spinal cord disorders, we have come to the right person, right? Dr Chuang: I try to do my best with all patients - yep. Dr Jones: For our listeners who are new to Continuum, Continuum is a journal dedicated to helping clinicians deliver the highest quality neurologic care to their patients, and we do this with high-quality and current clinical reviews. For our long-time Continuum Audio listeners, you'll notice a few different things with our latest issue and series of author interviews. For many years, Continuum Audio has been a great way to learn about our Continuum articles. Starting with our issue on spinal cord disorders (this issue), I'm happy to announce that our Continuum Audio interviews will now be available to all on your favorite open podcast platform, with some exciting new content in our interviews. Dr. Chuang, your article is absolutely full of extremely helpful and clinically relevant recommendations for the treatment of myelopathy, regardless of the cause. If there were one single most important practice-changing recommendation that you'd like our listeners to take away, what would that be? Dr Chuang: I think the most important thing to take away is that spinal cord injury of any type spans so many organ systems, it is good to get people - or multidisciplinary care - involved early on. There's eighteen model systems for spinal cord injuries scattered across the US. Those can be great avenues of resources for patients and for practitioners, for people around. Physical medicine and rehab specialists (our physiatrists or spinal cord injury specialists) can be very useful. And then, also for each individual organ system, there are specialists involved. And so, having that multidisciplinary care is probably the most important thing for a patient that's suffering from myelopathy because every patient is different and coordinating that care is so important to them. Dr Jones: So, teamwork is probably the most important thing, and I think most of our listeners who have taken care of patients with spinal cord disorders realize that that's really key. Your article - it leads off with such a great review of one of the big problems with myelopathy, which is spasticity management. From a medication perspective, I think many of us struggle with the balance between controlling the spasticity and some of the side effects of those medications, like sedation. How do you walk that fine line, Dr. Chuang? Dr Chuang: Spasticity management, like everything else, is patient directed. It depends on what the patient is most complaining of. If a patient has spasticity but they're not actually having any complaints from it, we don't need to treat, because of fear of side effects. I tend to try to use focal procedures (like botulinum toxin injections) earlier on, in order to try and spare side effects of antispasticity medications. Use of other conservative therapies, like bracing, stretching, is very essential. Another thing to consider is that dantrolene doesn't usually have side effects - cognitive side effects, at least - and actually can be monitored pretty closely for hepatotoxicity, which is its major side effect. Other possibilities are the baclofen pumps, which can be very useful in patients with spinal cord injury because their spasticity is often more in their lower limbs than in their upper limbs. By using multimodality approaches, we can definitely limit the amount of cognitive side effects of medications. Dr Jones: That's fantastic. Do you start with that multimodal at the beginning, or do you step into it with one, then the other, then the other? Dr Chuang: I usually start off with a low-dose baclofen because they usually have generalized tone - first, in order to see if they have cognitive side effects with it and if so, at what dose. Also, so that insurers have a trial of some medication before we proceed to something as expensive as botulinum toxin injection. But yes, if there's significant focal spasticity, especially, I try to bring in botulinum toxin injections as early as possible, just because of the possibility of minimizing the effect. Dr Jones: That's a great point - that you can start these from multiple angles and start them early. And great point about dantrolene - I think the hepatotoxicity makes many of us nervous. But it's a key point there - that it can spare some of the cognitive side effects. Dr Chuang: Yes, and actually, it can be monitored pretty closely. As long as a patient has access to labs, we can check liver function tests weekly or every two weeks until you're on a stable dose, and after that, only at intervals. And it can be weaned off just as quickly. Dr Jones: Fantastic. Another issue that you cover really nicely in the article, that I think is an underrecognized complication of spinal cord diseases - neuropathic pain. What's your approach to that problem, Dr. Chuang? Dr Chuang: Neuropathic pain is very, very tough to treat a lot of times. I usually give the chance of gabapentin, pregabalin, and duloxetine early, just to see if we can start managing their pain early and to try to prevent potentiation of pain. But I also tend to try to get pain management specialists on early, and also keep in mind that there can be other causes of pain other than just the actual spinal cord injury itself. Because of deafferentation and reafferentation, patients may think of neuropathic pain, and it could be something as simple as appendicitis. If there's a change in pain, there always needs to be a workup for acute causes. Again, multidisciplinary treatment, especially with pain specialists, can be really helpful. Dr Jones: Great point about thinking of other causes, including appendicitis or the musculoskeletal things that I'm sure can be pain generators in this pain population, right? Dr Chuang: Yeah, it's very common. Patients can often fracture themselves just with a simple transfer and that can cause a huge flare-up of pain. So, not all pain should be just dismissed as being neuropathic or just from the spinal cord injury itself. Dr Jones: Great point - thank you. Another topic that you cover - that I think is mystifying to many of us - is the neurogenic bladder problems that occur in patients with myelopathy. You talk about the different types - how do you tell them apart? Dr Chuang: It's hard to tell them apart from a patient perspective because a patient will just say that they have difficulty with urination. With a spastic bladder or detrusor sphincter dyssynergia, oftentimes, patients will complain of a short stream and having to force things out. And with an atonic bladder or flaccid bladder, they have difficulty initiating a stream. What can be useful are postvoid residuals - where, if a patient is in the hospital, or if you have access to an ultrasound, or if they see a urologist - after they void, you measure the amount of urine left in their bladder. You can see whether it's a smaller amount, which is suggestive of a spastic bladder, versus a large amount, or an atonic or flaccid bladder. The standard procedure that's done to measure these are also urodynamic studies that are done, oftentimes, by urologists, where they can actually measure pressure volumes and oftentimes get EMG recordings of the actual bladder - the sphincters. Dr Jones: Perfect. When you do those postvoid residuals (easiest done with ultrasound), what's the general cutoff you use to say - that's a small amount that might be suggestive of a spastic bladder? Dr Chuang: I would say, probably less than a hundred. And then, if it was flaccid, more than five hundred. If there's in between, it may fall into either category. Dr Jones: Got it. When you think about neurogenic bladder, what are the treatment options? How do they vary between the different types that patients may have? Dr Chuang: If you have an atonic or flaccid bladder, the main possibilities for patients just are, oftentimes, Credé maneuvers (or pressure on the bladder) in order to try and help with the bladder to squeeze urine out. But a lot of times they need clean intermittent catheterization or maybe placement of a suprapubic catheter long term. For patients who have a spastic bladder or detrusor sphincter dyssynergia, we can use anticholinergic medications, like bethanechol, tolterodine - those medications - in order to try to relax the sphincter a little bit and then allow the urine to pass through. You can also have BOTOX injections to these sphincters of the bladder as well, which can be useful to relax them so that they can allow the urine to pass through. But a lot of times, a mainstay of treatment is intermittent catheterization, also for patients with severe detrusor sphincter dyssynergia, so that we can maintain small bladder volumes and not develop hydronephrosis, urinary tract infections, and complications of holding urine in the bladder. Dr Jones: Thanks for that, Dr. Chuang. Another part of your article that I thought was really fascinating, and probably will cover some new ground for our readers and listeners, is the use of nerve transfers or surgical treatment of weakness, basically. Tell us about that and how it's used in patients with myelopathy. Dr Chuang: For patients with myelopathy, it's used often in the upper extremities. If a patient has voluntary control of either elbow flexion or elbow extension (usually, elbow flexion), you can oftentimes have the ability to transfer nerves into the finger flexors and allow voluntary hand closure. If there's supination or wrist extension, you can oftentimes allow transfers of branches of the nerve - for example, from the supinator, or from the branch to the extensor carpi radialis brevis, into the finger extensor - so that, over a period of nine to twelve months, we'll be able to slowly regrow the nerve back in and allow the denervated muscle to become reinnervated with a voluntary controlled muscle and then restore voluntary finger extension, which can be extremely beneficial - just being able to voluntarily open and close their hands. Dr Jones: Right. And it sounds like the goal is really that functional use of grip and use of the upper limb. Not really so much for transfers, I imagine - is that not so much the goal? Dr Chuang: If there's less than antigravity strength of elbow extension and reasonable external rotation strength, you may be able to get elbow extension strong enough antigravity, and at that point a patient may be able to transfer independently - with a lot of training. Dr Jones: Wow, that's fantastic - thank you. There's lots of therapeutic options, really, for many of these complications, which I think is an important point for our readers and our listeners to take home. When you look into the future, Dr. Chuang, what do you see on the horizon as the next generation of care for patients with spinal cord disorders? Dr Chuang: I see a huge, expanding field, both of therapeutics - there are stem cell trials all over the world; there are neurorestorative hormones that are being tried. I'm very excited about the advent of robotics, with motors being basically shrunk down to the size of millimeters, and exoskeletons becoming lighter and lighter. I suspect that, long term, we'll be able to have robotic exoskeletons to be able to help patients walk and move their limbs normally. I know there are clinical trials right now involving orthoses that are controlled with brain interfaces that will hopefully help restore function in patients who need it. Dr Jones: It sounds like science fiction, but a lot of that technology exists now, right? Dr Chuang: Yes, it does. We definitely have prototypes of multigear hands with multiple directions. Now, the problem is trying to find the way to control these motors and to control these robotic hands and legs. Dr Jones: Caring for patients with myelopathy I imagine can be challenging, but I imagine it can also be quite rewarding. Tell us, Dr. Chuang, what drew you to this work specifically, and what do you find most exciting about it? Dr Chuang: I want to help people move better. I'm a physiatrist by training, and our job as physiatrist is to try to get people back to their activities of daily living as soon as possible; to try to remove any barriers to becoming active, independent people in their society. And so, I think that spinal patients that suffer from myelopathies or other spinal cord injuries have a lot of potential in the amount of activities that they can do and the way that they can contribute. I've seen patients who have been paralyzed and unable to move their hands at all develop tenodesis scripts, initially in order to just pick up things and then later obtain voluntary control of opening and closing their fingers. And it's huge in terms of what they can do in their everyday lives. Just being able to see that is just really rewarding. And even being able to help patients navigate society around them is just a hugely rewarding experience. Dr Jones: I imagine that must be really fantastic to see folks regain those milestones. Dr Chuang: Yes. Dr Jones: It's pretty unusual for someone to have done a neurology and a physiatry residency. So, between me and you and all of our listeners, which residency was better? Dr Chuang: Wouldn't trade one without the other. Probably wouldn't have done the one without the other, either! Dr Jones: What a great, diplomatic answer. Okay, good. Dr Chuang: It's true. Dr Jones: Yeah. You avoided offending all the neurologists and physiatrists out there. And really fascinating discussion, Dr. Chuang. It's an outstanding article.

A true pioneer in computer graphics.

Part of what I love about getting to create a podcast like this is sharing conversations I've had with some of these extraordinary people that you just never hear about otherwise or never get to meet. They're working behind the scenes, inventing new technologies that become part of our lives. And they're out of the spotlight. I've been lucky enough to get to know Richard Chuang, who's with us today, because we both served as board members at the University of Silicon Valley, where he is still a trustee. Richard is a pioneer in computer graphics. He's been there since the beginning, since the moment we turned pixels into images on a computer screen and turned those images into animations. What has later become, everything you see coming out of Hollywood now. He's a real pioneer in computer graphics, having built some of the animation systems at PDI, 30 years ago, that ultimately became DreamWorks Animation, where the pioneering feature films animated on computers. Ants, Shrek, those kinds of things were first done. Look, Richard, it makes me want to cry. How humble he is, the wisdom he has in this conversation. He's sharing so much with us and, going back to, the seventies when he first learned about computers. there's some computer history in here. His encounters with Steve Jobs over the years, in both working in animation with computers, his experience with, some of the other pioneers in the, in the industry. Richard doesn't take credit personally for anything, but the truth is he's behind a lot of these things that change the world, and I'm so thrilled to be able to share him with all of you guys. Recorded June 20, 2018 at the University of Silicon Valley.

According to the NPA's Seventh Special Corps, patrols will be conducted in the park during the breeding season of Cardisoma carnifex, which occurs annually from July to August. 內政部警政署（NPA）於星期五宣布，警察正在實施措施，以防範在台南市台江國家公園對陸蟹的非法捕捉，希望能保護這些甲殼類動物的繁殖。根據警政署保安警察第七總隊的聲明，將在該公園進行巡邏，因為兇狠圓軸蟹（Cardisoma carnifex），台灣最大的陸蟹物種，每年七月到八月之間的繁殖季即將到來。 During these two months, female land crabs transport their eggs from the windbreak near Chengxi Menghuan Pond to the beach after sunset, where they are laid in the water. The Seventh Special Corps emphasized that this journey poses potential dangers to the crabs, including being run over by vehicles or caught and consumed by individuals. To mitigate these risks, the Corps will regulate traffic on the road along Cingcaolun Bank, ensuring the safety of the land crabs during the nighttime. 在這兩個月裡，母陸蟹在日落後從城西夢幻湖附近的遮風帶搬運著牠們的卵到海灘上，並放入水中。第七總隊強調這段旅程對陸蟹來說存在潛在的危險，包括被車輛撞到或被人類捕捉並食用。為了減少這些風險，總隊將規範青草崙堤防道路上的交通，確保夜間陸蟹的安全。 According to the Seventh Special Corps, individuals who capture and hunt land crabs within national parks may face penalties of up to NT$1,000 for violating the National Park Act. If substantial harm is caused, offenders can be detained or sentenced to a maximum of one year in prison. In response to these regulations, two local volunteers dedicated to protecting land crabs expressed their disappointment on social media regarding the lack of ecological conservation awareness among some people. 根據第七總隊的說法，在國家公園內捕捉和狩獵陸蟹的人可能會面臨高達新台幣1,000元的罰款，違反了《國家公園法》。如果造成重大損害，違規者可能會被拘留或判處最高一年的監禁。作為對這些法規的回應，兩位致力於保護陸蟹的當地志願者在社交媒體上表達了對某些人缺乏生態保育意識的失望。 Sharing his experience on Facebook, Chuang Chih-hsun, along with his brother Chuang Chih-shan, encountered two migrant workers who had captured over 100 land crabs to share with their acquaintances while returning from their duty of monitoring land crabs. The Chuang brothers had been safeguarding land crabs outside the park along the Yanshui River, where the crabs are not legally protected, unlike within the park. Chuang Chih-hsun expressed his distress, as he and his brother have spent more than a decade dedicated to land crab conservation under their parents' guidance. Despite this disheartening encounter, the brothers remain committed to their cause. 莊智巽在臉書上分享了他和他的兄弟莊智善的經歷，他們在監護陸蟹的任務結束後，在返回途中遇到了兩名外籍勞工，他們捕捉了100多隻陸蟹打算與朋友分享。莊家兄弟一直在鹽水溪沿岸的公園外保護陸蟹，因為這些地區的陸蟹並沒有受到法律的保護，不像公園內的陸蟹。莊智巽表達了他的痛苦，因為他和他的兄弟在父母的指導下致力於保護陸蟹已經超過十年。儘管遭遇了這令人沮喪的事情，兄弟們仍然堅守自己的想法。 The local agriculture bureau acknowledges the limitations of their authority in preventing the catching of land crabs outside national parks, as they are not protected in those areas. However, they aim to persuade individuals through education and ethical appeals to refrain from capturing land crabs. The joint efforts of the police, dedicated volunteers like the Chuang brothers, and public awareness initiatives can contribute to the conservation of land crabs and their habitats, preserving the biodiversity and ecological balance of the national park. 當地農業局承認他們在阻止國家公園以外的地區捕捉陸蟹方面的權限有限，因為這些地區的陸蟹並沒有受到保護。然而，他們希望通過教育和道德呼籲說服個人不要捕捉陸蟹。警方以及莊家兄弟這樣的志願者和公眾意識倡議的共同努力有助於保護陸蟹及其棲息地，維護國家公園的生物多樣性和生態平衡。 Reference article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/taiwan/archives/2023/07/09/2003802920

Talk on Questions of PhilosophySecond Reading - 00:22Discussion - 24:55Footnotes:27) 00:34Ai Ssu-chti (c. 1910–66) was, at the time of his death, Vice-President of the Higher Party School. He was one of the Party's leading philosophical spokesmen, who had translated works on dialectical materialism from the Russian, and written many books and articles which aimed to make Marxism accessible to the masses. On 1 November 1964 he published an article in People's Daily attacking Yang Hsien-chen, the ‘bourgeois' philosopher Mao refers to earlier in this talk in connection with the principle of ‘two combining into one'.28) 03:54The metaphor of ‘dissecting a sparrow' is an applied theory and a work method to acquire knowledge and sum up experiences. Instead of attempting to generalize about a vast number of repetitions of a phenomenon, this work method advocates the in-depth analysis, thorough study and investigation of a prototype, and a summing-up experience through such analysis. The slogan is derived from the common saying, ‘while a sparrow is small, it contains all the vital organs'. Here, Mao makes the point that, in the broader international context, China as a whole is a microcosm of the problems of revolution in the world today.29) 05:27Leng Tzu-hsing discourses on the mansion of the Duke of Jung-kuo in chapter 2 of The Story of the Stone. The ‘Talisman for Officials' was a list of the rich and influential families in the area which the former novice from the Bottle-Gourd Temple said every official should carry in order to avoid offending them and thereby wrecking his career.30) 06:33For Comrade Mao's criticisms on this matter see ‘Letter Concerning the Dream of the Red Chamber' (Selected Works, vol. V, pp. 150–51), ‘On Criticising Longloumeng yuanjia' (Selected Works, vol. V, pp. 293–94). For Mao's criticism of Yü P'ing-po see ‘Letter Concerning the Study of the Dream of the Red Chamber', 16 October 1954, Selected Works, vol. V. Wang K'un-lun was Vice-Mayor of Peking in the 1950s.31) 06:36Ho Ch'i-fang (1911—), a lyric poet and powerful figure in the literary world, had defended Yü P'ing-po up to a point at the time of the campaign against him in 1954, saying that Yü was wrong in his interpretation of the Dream of the Red Chamber, but politically loyal. He himself came under attack at the time of the Great Leap Forward.32) 06:41Wu Shih-ch'ang's work on this subject has been translated into English: On ‘The Red Chamber Dream', Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1961.33) 07:01Mao's statement here concords with the views of Lu Hsün.34) 07:55The figures Mao gives here, as he shifts to the present and calls to mind the final showdown with the Kuomintang, are those at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War rather than those at the beginning of the renewed civil war in 1946, when the People's Liberation Army had grown to at least half a million men.35) 09:28In January 1949, General Fu Tso-i, commanding the nationalist garrison in Peiping (as it was then called), surrendered the city without a fight to avoid useless destruction. He subsequently became Minister of Water Conservancy in the Peking government.36) 11:05The legendary Emperor Shen Nung is said to have taught the art of agriculture in the third millennium BC, and in particular to have discovered the medicinal properties of plants.37) 14:30The Lung Shan and Yang Shao cultures, located respectively in northeastern and north-western China, were the two most remarkable cultures of the neolithic period. As Mao indicates, they are particularly noted for their pottery.38) 16:18The book called the Chuang-tzu, which was probably composed only in part by the man of the same name who lived in the second half of the fourth century BC, is not only one of the classic texts of Taoism (with the Lao-tzu and the Book of Changes), but one of the greatest literary masterpieces in the history of China.39) 22:23Sakata Shiyouchi, a Japanese physicist from the University of Nagoya, holds that ‘elementary particles are a single, material, differentiated and limitless category which make up the natural order'. An article by him expounding these views was published in Red Flag in June 1965.40) 22:55Mao is apparently referring to a collection of essays published by Jen Chi-yü in 1963, and reprinted in 1973: Han Tang fo-chiao ssu-hsiang lun chi (Collected Essays on Buddhist Thought in the Han and T'ang Dynasties). In these studies, he quotes from Lenin at considerable length regarding dialectics.41) 23:06T'ang Yung-t'ung (1892–1964), whom Jen Chi-yü acknowledges as his teacher, was the leading historian of Buddhism, who had written on Chinese Buddhism under the Han, Wei, Chin, and Northern and Southern dynasties, on the history of Indian thought, etc. He was Dean of the Humanities at Peking University from 1948 until he fell ill in 1954.42) 23:24Under the influence of Ch'an Buddhism (better known under its Japanese name of Zen), Chinese philosophers of the Sung and Ming dynasties, of whom Chu Hsi (1130–1200) is the most famous, developed a synthesis between Confucianism and Buddhism in which a central role is played by the concept li (principle or reason), commonly known as Neo-Confucianism. For a Chinese view of the relations between these schools basically similar to Mao's, see Hou Wai-lu, A Short History of Chinese Philosophy, Peking, Foreign Languages Press, 1959, pp. 33–51. For an interpretation by a Western specialist, see H. G. Creel, Chinese Thought from Confucius to Mao Zedong, Chicago, University of Chicago Press, and London, Eyre & Spottiswoode, 1953, Ch. 10.43) 24:06Han Yü and Liu Tsung-yüan. Han Yü sought to recreate the simplicity of the classical period, while avoiding excessive archaism. The slogan about ‘learning from their ideas' quoted by Mao refers to this aim of seeking inspiration from the ancient Confucian sages, while avoiding outmoded forms of expression. He adopted a critical attitude towards Buddhism, but nonetheless borrowed some ideas from it. Liu Tsung-yüan, whom Mao calls here by his literary name of Liu Tzu-hou, was a close friend of Han Yü.44) 24:17Liu Tsung-yüan's essay T'ien Tui (Heaven Answers) undertook to answer the questions about the origin and nature of the universe raised by Ch'ü Yüan in his poem T'ien Wen (Heaven Asks). The latter is translated under the title ‘The Riddles' in Li Sao and Other Poems of Chu Yuan. It is, as Mao says, suggestive but extremely obscure.

On today's Raise the Line episode, you'll have a unique opportunity to hear the collective voice of healthcare providers all over the world who shared their needs, hopes and concerns with Elsevier in its first-ever Clinician of the Future Global Report.  Elsevier and its partner, Ipsos, engaged nearly 3,000 clinicians from 111 countries to reveal current pain points, predictions for the future, and how the industry can build a roadmap to future-proof healthcare. Join host Shiv Gaglani as he explores the fascinating findings with his Elsevier colleagues Dr. Tate Erlinger and Dr. Ian Chuang. “One of the key pieces of feedback from participants was, ‘I see the potential, I just need support. I need better training and education and skills development to align where healthcare is going,'” said Dr. Chuang, Chief Medical Officer of Global Health. “I would look at this report as a call to action,” said Dr. Erlinger, Vice-President of Clinical Analytics. There are some alarming numbers in here, but healthcare has always responded. We just need to be diligent and look for and test solutions across a broad range of concerns.” What will healthcare look like in ten years and how can we prepare clinicians for that future? Tune into this revealing conversation to learn the answers drawn from a landmark report that will shift the current conversation about global healthcare from problems to solutions.See the report here: https://www.elsevier.com/connect/clinician-of-the-future

An interview with Dr. Linus Chuang from Danbury Hospital and Norwalk Hospital, Nuvance Health in Connecticut and New York, co-chair on “Management and Care of Patients with Invasive Cervical Cancer: ASCO Resource-Stratified Guideline Rapid Recommendation Update.” Dr. Chuang discusses the updated recommendation on the use of pembrolizumab in patients with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical carcinoma, based on the results from the KEYNOTE-826 study. For more information, visit, www.asco.org/resource-stratified-guidelines. Transcript BRITTANY HARVEY: Hello, and welcome to the ASCO Guidelines podcast series brought to you by the ASCO Podcast Network, a collection of nine programs covering a range of educational and scientific content and offering enriching insight into the world of cancer care. You can find all the shows, including this one, at asco.org/podcasts. My name is Brittany Harvey, and today I'm interviewing Dr. Linus Chuang from Danbury Hospital in Norwalk Hospital, Nuvance Health, in Connecticut and New York, Co-Chair on "Management and Care of Patients with Invasive Cervical Cancer-- ASCO Resource-Stratified Guideline Rapid Recommendation Update." Thank you for being here, Dr. Chuang. LINUS CHUANG: Thank you for having me. BRITTANY HARVEY: First, I'd like to note that ASCO takes great care in the development of its guidelines and ensuring that the ASCO conflict of interest policy is followed for each guideline. The full conflict of interest information for this guideline is available online with a publication in the Journal of Clinical Oncology Global Oncology. Dr. Chuang, do you have any relevant disclosures that are directly related to this guideline topic? LINUS CHUANG: No, Brittany. BRITTANY HARVEY: Thank you. Then talking about the content of this publication, so what prompted this rapid update to the "Management and Care of Patients with Invasive Cervical Cancer-- ASCO Resource-Stratified Clinical Practice Guideline," last published in 2016? LINUS CHUANG: ASCO Rapid Recommendations Updates highlight revisions to ASCO guideline recommendations on "Management and Care of Women with Invasive Cervical Cancer, the ASCO Resource-Stratified Clinical Practice Guideline" that was published in September of 2016. We revised the guidelines to reflect new and practice-changing data on the use of pembrolizumab combination therapy in patients with metastatic, recurrent, or persistent cervical cancer in enhanced and maximal settings. BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. Then based off this new data for the pembrolizumab combination therapy, what are the updated recommendations from the guideline panel? LINUS CHUANG: Based on this recently published report about the KEYNOTE-826 study, the checkpoint inhibitor pembrolizumab alongside standard chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab as first-line therapy significantly improved the overall and progression-free survival in patients with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic PD-L1 expressing cervical cancer. BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. Thank you for providing that recommendation. So what should clinicians know as they implement these recommendations, and for which settings do these recommendations apply? LINUS CHUANG: This trial included 617 patients, pembrolizumab 200 milligrams delivered intravenously every three weeks in combination with standard chemotherapy and with or without bevacizumab for up to 35 cycles. It's worth emphasizing based on the following study results the median progression-free survival was 2.2 months longer in the pembrolizumab group that have a PD-L1 combined positive score of 1 or more. And the progression-free survival at 12 months was also longer by 20% in the pembrolizumab group when compared to the placebo group. The overall survival rate at 12 and 24 months were higher in the pembrolizumab group-- 75% and 53% respectively-- compared with the placebo cohort-- 63% and 41% respectively. According to the study, the most common adverse reactions, which occur in more than one in five patients in the pembrolizumab group, are anemia, neutropenia, alopecia, and peripheral neuropathy. Based on this data our rapid communication recommended this regimen be used in the enhanced and maximal settings where the pembrolizumab is available. BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. Thank you for reviewing that data in the context of this recommendation. So how will these guideline recommendations impact patients? LINUS CHUANG: So pembrolizumab with the standard chemotherapy with or without bevacizumab demonstrated improvement in the progression-free and overall survival much longer than those without the pembrolizumab group. And this has emerged as a front-line therapy for the group of patients that have persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer with PD-L1 expression cervical cancer. BRITTANY HARVEY: OK, thank you. And then finally, what emerging evidence is the panel anticipating regarding treatment of invasive cervical cancer? LINUS CHUANG: This is an exciting time. Exploration of other PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors, monotherapy, or as part of combination therapy for cervical cancer will expand the management of patients with recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer that progressed after platinum-based chemotherapy. It is also important to explore the ability of pembrolizumab with chemoradiation with or without concurrent and maintenance pembrolizumab to improve outcomes for patients with high-risk locally advanced cervical cancer. BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. That's very exciting to see that evidence coming to fruition. So I want to thank you so much for your work to rapidly update this guideline and for your time tonight, Dr. Chuang. LINUS CHUANG: Thank you for having me today.

“The search for identity is something I think everyone goes through in their lives. It's a constantly evolving answer. I think all of us can relate to the sense of belonging and what is home. Us being so far away from our families…Alicia Vikander's scene was memorable to me. One of the rare times I cried while operating the camera.” –Ante Cheng“There's not really many stories about people who look like me in Australia, so I was just making films. How do I be invisible in a way and transcend whatever I'm shooting? It wasn't until I came to the U.S…it was the first time I had to think about me being Asian and my experiences and how does that relate to what we're telling in this film.” –Matthew ChuangAnte Cheng and Matthew Chuang are collaborating cinematographers on the 2021 dramatic release Blue Bayou, directed by Justin Chon.

Rita Chuang is a chemistry graduate from UC Berkeley now serving as Project Lead at a Japanese biotech company called Spiber Inc. Spiber was founded in 2007 with the goal of replicating spider silk and its superior mechanical properties by fermenting fibrous silk proteins in microorganisms instead of farming silkworms or spiders. Rita is now working in frontiers development at Spiber on some of their highly innovative projects to do with Spiber's Brewed Protein™ product. She talks to us about the realistic challenges faced when engineering microbes to produce fibrous proteins for textiles, Spiber's partners such as fashion designer Yuima Nakazato, and the wide range of materials that Spiber can replicate beyond silk using their fermentation and spinning processes.Website: https://www.spiber.inc/en/

The Phenomenology philosophy is a school of philosophy that originated in the 20th century. With Edmund Husserl Phenomenology was born but it was the phenomenology Heidegger innovated that reoriented the course of European philosophy. The Phenomenology of Husserl and Heidegger (whose respective philosophies are called Transcendental Phenomenology and Existential Phenomenology) does not seek after external objective truth—as philosophy and science generally do—phenomenology strives for subjective truth—in Husserl's case it is an attempt to make a subjective science of consciousness. Husserl developed a method for attaining this truth which involves reducing away the noise so as to isolate the essence of a phenomenon. Heidegger parted from Husserl saying that phenomenology could not be a science with knowledge because the meaning of a phenomenon is context-dependent. Heidegger moves from Husserl's epistemological project to an ontological program. There is a growing scholarship looking at the connection between phenomenology and eastern philosophy. It is even said that Heidgger was influenced in his conception of Dasein as being-in-the-world through a German commentator on Taoist philosopher Chuang-tzu. _________________⭐ Support the channel (thank you!)▶ Patreon: patreon.com/thelivingphilosophy▶ Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/thelivingphilosophy _________________
