Pathophysiology/etiology Carotid artery disease is primarily driven by atherosclerotic plaque deposition. Risk factors: hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, and advanced age. Nonatherosclerotic etiologies: fibromuscular dysplasia, carotid dissection, vasculitic disease, carotid webs, and trauma. When the endothelium is damaged, monocytes migrate to the site and differentiate into macrophages that take up oxidized LDL particles to become foam cells. Meanwhile, an inflammatory response occurs where activated platelets release thromboxane A2, platelet derived growth factor, and inflammatory cytokines that promote further platelet aggregation and vascular inflammation. Smooth muscle cells migrate and proliferate, forming the structural framework of the atheroma. Within the lesion, necrotic debris and lipid accumulate, creating a vulnerable plaque. Plaque rupture exposes this material to the bloodstream, serving as a nidus for thrombus formation which can lead to ischemic events. Carotid bifurcation is particularly prone to plaque formation due to turbulent blood flow. Embolization of plaque from this area can result in TIA or ischemic stroke. 2. Presentation Patients are often asymptomatic and stenosis is incidentally found on imaging. Symptomatic patients present with neurologic symptoms including unilateral motor and sensory loss, aphasia (difficulty finding words), dysarthria (difficulty speaking), amaurosis fugax (temporary monocular vision loss due to embolus to the ophthalmic artery), transient ischemic attacks Physical exam findings may be notable for auscultation of a carotid bruit. Patients may also have evidence of retinal artery embolization on fundoscopic examination (Hollenhorst plaque) or asymptomatic cerebral infarction. 3. Diagnosis USPTF recommends against screening for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. In patients with no risk factors, SVS recommends against screening for asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. However, they do recommend screening for asymptomatic clinically significant carotid bifurcation in certain groups of patients with multiple risk factors. These risk factors include patients with clinically significant peripheral vascular disease, patients 65 and older with history of CAD, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, and patients prior to coronary artery bypass. Relevant findings on physical exam or imaging findings may warrant screening, but screening is not recommended for the presence of neck bruit alone without other risk factors, as this finding has a low sensitivity and specificity for detecting clinically significant carotid artery stenosis. Carotid duplex ultrasound: first-line imaging modality for both screening and initial evaluation of stenosis, noninvasive, low-cost CTA: rapid, high-resolution, three-dimensional imaging of vascular anatomy, risk of contrast and radiation exposure MRA: high-quality, three-dimensional imaging without radiation or contrast, expensive with longer acquisition time, can overestimate stenosis in severe disease DSA/angiography: gold standard, expensive, invasive, not generally recommended for routine diagnostic evaluation or screening 4. Classification Carotid artery stenosis is classified by degree of luminal narrowing. NASCET method: standard in current practice. Compares the minimal residual lumen at the point of greatest stenosis to the diameter of the normal distal internal carotid artery. Classification of stenosis: Mild: 70 bpm, and ACT >250 seconds to optimize cerebral perfusion and minimize thrombotic risk. Clamp the carotid artery just proximal to the arterial sheath to establish active flow reversal. Flow controller settings: Low setting High setting Flow-stop button: allows for temporary cessation of flow (used when we inject contrast). Confirm flow reversal via two different ways: The first way is to stop flow to the venous return sheath with the stopcock, clearing the line with hep saline injection, and then opening the stopcock and seeing the blood returning to the controller in a reverse fashion. The second way is to perform an angiogram with a small amount of contrast injection while holding the flow-stop button. Using the angio we want to make sure that contrast is flowing retrograde in the cervical ICA thereby confirming flow reversal. Carotid artery stenting, balloon angioplasty, and completion angiogram At this point, a standard carotid angioplasty and stenting procedure is performed. ENROUTE transcarotid Neuroprotection System device: inner diameter of 8F and an outer diameter of 10F Has its own carotid artery stent system but is also compatible with all FDA-approved carotid stents. Final angiogram is performed to confirm stent position, vessel patency, and absence of complications including vasospasm at the distal end of the stent and filling defects from protrusion of atheromatous material through the stent Cessation of flow reversal and sheath removal Allow the flow reversal to run for a few minutes after the final balloon angioplasty to clear any debris. Antegrade flow is restored by releasing the carotid clamp and closing the stopcocks on the neuroprotection system. The patient is auto-transfused the blood from the flow line back to the venous system. As the arterial access system is removed and the puncture site is closed with the U-stitch. IV protamine is administered to reverse the heparin. Standard closure is performed at the incision site. Meanwhile, hemostasis is achieved after removal of the femoral vein sheath with brief manual compression. Postop care/complications Postop care All patients after a TCAR should be monitored in the ICU setting for 24 hours, as an embolic stroke, hypotension with or without bradycardia, or hypertension can occur. Should a TIA or stroke be observed, a carotid duplex scan and CT angiogram should be immediately obtained to assess the stent site and the presence of an embolic or thrombotic filling defect, dissection, or occlusion. Dual antiplatelet therapy: continue for 45 days to 12 months Aspirin and statin therapy: continued indefinitely Surveillance duplex imaging: 4 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months, and annually thereafter. Postop complications Hematoma Stroke Myocardial infarction Cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome Sudden and excessive increase in cerebral blood flow to previously hypoperfused brain tissue is met with vasculature that cannot constrict appropriately from chronic vasodilation Leads to breakthrough hyperperfusion. This results in cerebral edema, intracerebral hemorrhage, and neurological symptoms. Cranial nerve injury Hypoglossal nerve (CN XII) injury: ipsilateral tongue deviation. It is the most commonly injured cranial nerve. Vagus nerve (CN X) injury: hoarseness and possible vocal cord paralysis. Glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX) injury: soft palate dysfunction. Recurrent laryngeal nerve injury: voice hoarseness and inability to cough as it innervates all of the voice box muscles except for the cricothyroid muscle Marginal mandibular nerve injury: ipsilateral lip droop, injury is rare in TCAR. Stent restenosis Pseudoaneurysm Access site infection
A former Clare hurling captain has called for the GAA to urgently clamp down on head-high challenges to ensure player safety. It comes in the wake of Clare's 0-29 to 0-16 win over Dublin in the All Ireland Hurling Quarter Final. The result was marred by a serious injury suffered by David Reidy late in the second half. Tommy Guilfoyle says tackling a player in the act of picking up the ball needs to be outlawed.
Dublin City Council has suggested limiting access to the Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) to people with are registered with a domestic waste collection company contract as a means of dealing with “opportunistic” bin scavenging.The Council also suggest that with the DRS, there had been “no significant difference” in total street sweepings collected in the city.Janet Horner is a Councilor for Dublin North Inner City and Cathaoirleach for The Green Party. She joined Shane and Ciara to discuss the current issues the Deposit Return Scheme is bringing to the city.

In this no-fluff, high-stakes episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis sits down with Patrick Liebel - trauma/ICU surgeon to tackle the injury that makes every medic's stomach drop: penetrating abdominal trauma.When the golden hour stretches into days, evacuation is delayed, and your patient's belly is a black box of bleeding, contamination, and impending sepsis, what do you actually do? Patrick delivers hard-earned, practical wisdom on hemorrhage control, evisceration management, permissive hypotension, antibiotics, nutrition, peritonitis, and abdominal compartment syndrome — all tailored for the austere, resource-limited prolonged field care environment.If you carry a medic bag and might one day face a guy with his guts hanging out and no surgeon in sight, this episode is required listening. Real talk, real decisions, real consequences.Key Takeaways (Actionable Gold for Every Medic):Mesenteric torsion = widespread ischemia → never spin the bowel for hemorrhage control. Clamp or ligate targeted vessels instead.Clamping is fine in the heat of the moment — revise to ligation later when safe. Remember: every vessel has two ends.Eviscerated bowel is happier inside the abdomen. Tuck it back if you can (keep it wet, protect it). Only widen the defect if ischemia is imminent and you're in a controlled setting.Solid organ (liver/spleen) bleeding → permissive hypotension is your only friend. Titrate to mental status + palpable radial pulse. Track trends, not single numbers.Assume hollow viscus injury until proven otherwise. Hit it hard and early with antibiotics (Ceftriaxone + Flagyl is the practical winner most teams actually carry).Nutrition: If they're hungry, stable, soft abdomen, and no peritonitis after 1–2 days → feed them. Start slow, listen to the patient.Peritonitis = bad news. You've done everything possible with antibiotics and resuscitation — now you're buying time for definitive surgery.Abdominal compartment syndrome is rare with whole blood resuscitation but lethal if it develops. Watch for progressive distension + organ dysfunction (urine output drop + respiratory failure).Document everything. Trends in vitals, urine output, mental status, and abdominal exam are your lifeline in PFC.Chapters:00:00 – 01:30 Welcome & Patrick Liebel Introduction01:30 – 08:00 Hemorrhage Control: Clamping, Ligating, and Why You Should Never Spin the Bowel08:00 – 14:30 Evisceration Management — Tuck It, Widen It, or Leave It?14:30 – 25:00 Solid Organ Injuries & Permissive Hypotension in PFC25:00 – 35:00 Prolonged Critical Care Monitoring, Urine Output, and Trend Analysis35:00 – 42:00 Contamination Control, Antibiotics, and Hollow Viscus Injuries42:00 – 49:00 Nutrition, Ileus, and When to Feed49:00 – 57:00 Peritonitis, Sepsis, and Abdominal Compartment Syndrome57:00 – End Final Pearls, Nursing Care, and Closing ThoughtsFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care

Silage isn't just a crop, it's a high value asset, and the clamp you store it in can quietly decide how much of it you actually get to feed. We sit down with Jeremy Perkins from SiloStop Agri to talk through what good silage pit design looks like in 2026, from the first site visit to the details that protect forage quality for months. If you're expanding, switching systems, or simply running out of space, this conversation helps you think clearly about layout, access for modern machinery, and how to future proof capacity without creating an unmanageable feed face.We get practical about the rules as well. We break down SAFO regulations in England and what inspectors are looking for around silage effluent and leachate containment, then compare that with Welsh COPR requirements, including why tarmac floors can be preferred and how features like inspection chambers support compliance. Along the way we discuss earth-bank options, vertical wall systems, drainage falls, and why planning permission and build timelines matter more than most of us want to admit when second cut is looming.We also zoom into the small stuff that makes a big difference: oxygen barrier film, sidewall film, safer clamp handrails, and cleaner weighting options that replace the misery of tyres. The takeaway is simple: invest once, do it properly, and treat homegrown forage like the foundation of margin and efficiency it really is. This was recorded in March 2026, and all information was correct at the time of recording.Subscribe, share the episode with a mate who's rebuilding a clamp, and leave us a review so more UK dairy farmers can find the show.Send us Fan MailFor more information about our podcast visit www.chewinthecud.com/podcast or follow us on Instagram @chewinthecudpodcast.

Are torque specs really telling you the full story?In this EPARTRADE Race Industry Now technical webinar, Shannon Strother (P1 Manufacturing) and Chuck Lynch (AERA – Automotive Engine Rebuilders Association) break down the real relationship between torque input, clamp load, and friction in high-performance racing engines.Most engine builders rely on torque as a measurement, but the reality is far more complex. Up to 90% of applied torque is lost to friction, meaning the actual clamp load can vary significantly depending on lubrication, coatings, and surface conditions.This deep dive covers:Why torque is only an indirect indicator of clamp loadHow friction impacts fastener performance and reliabilityThe role of coatings and lubrication in consistencyTorque vs tension: understanding what really mattersAdvanced methods like torque-angle and direct bolt measurementHow improper clamp load leads to engine failuresIf you are building, tuning, or engineering racing engines, this is critical knowledge that directly impacts performance, durability, and repeatability.Featuring:Shannon Strother, Director of Future Technology, P1 ManufacturingChuck Lynch, Vice President of Technical Service, AERAHosted by Brad Gillie (SiriusXM, Ch. 90 Late Shift)Presented by ARP, Inc., PEAK, Fifth Third Bank Motorsports, Ferrea Racing Components, Crower, CTech Manufacturing, & Race-Fan.#TorqueWrench #ClampLoad #EngineBuilding #RacingEngines #Fasteners #MotorsportsEngineering #EngineTech #PerformanceEngineering #AERA #P1Manufacturing

When the scale stops moving, the instinct is to restrict more, exercise harder, and white-knuckle your way through it. I get why this is a common reaction, but it's not what your body actually needs to break through.In this episode, I explain why the answer to a plateau is almost never "do more and eat less." It's usually something far more holistic, and a whole lot kinder. So instead of clamping down harder, I'll walk you through five overlooked strategies that get things moving again, without making you miserable in the process.ReferencesSign up for my Summer Reset series with Amanda Sabicer here.A four-month guided recalibration for your metabolism, nervous system, and daily rhythmHow to Get a Good Night's Sleep with Janet WhalenGet the free podcast roadmap for The Obesity GuideSubscribe to my Youtube channelAll of the information on this podcast is for general informational purposes only.

tools part 2 The 10 Tools That Solve 90% of Problems (Part 2) | Episode 603 Picking Up Where We Left Off In the last episode, we talked about the first five tools that handle the majority of repairs around the house. Today, we're finishing that list with five more tools that, together, will solve about 90% of the problems the average homeowner runs into. Once you go past this list, you start getting into specialty tools. Those are the tools you might only use once every few years. When that happens, you don't necessarily need to buy them new. One trick is checking places like Facebook Marketplace. A lot of people buy a tool for one specific project, use it once, and then sell it afterward. If you catch it at the right time, you can often buy it cheaper, use it for your project, and sell it again when you're done. You basically rented the tool for twenty or thirty bucks. But the tools in today's episode are the ones you should actually own. A Good Claw Hammer If you somehow don't own a hammer yet, go fix that immediately. Your first hammer should just be a standard claw hammer. Nothing fancy. You don't need some crazy expensive framing hammer or specialty tool. A basic claw hammer will do almost everything you need it to do around the house. My general rule when buying tools is simple: skip the absolute cheapest one in the store. There's always some garbage version that's barely usable. Instead, look at the next cheapest option. That's usually the sweet spot between price and quality. Eventually, you'll probably add a rubber mallet to your toolbox as well. They're cheap and they're incredibly useful when you need to move or tap something into place without destroying it. Flooring, trim, or anything delicate benefits from that softer impact. Tape Measure You absolutely need a tape measure. You'll use it constantly. Cutting wood, fitting furniture, installing shelves, measuring rooms before you buy materials—this tool comes out all the time. The real trick is learning how to actually read it well. Fractions matter, and if you're working with someone else you need to be able to communicate the measurement correctly. Saying something like “eight and three lines” will get you laughed out of a job site. Also avoid gimmicky tape measures. Some of them try to cram in extra markings, metric conversions, or weird features that make the tape harder to read. A simple, clear tape measure with easy-to-see markings is all you really need. Level (and Square) A level is another tool that gets used far more than people expect. Hanging pictures, installing shelves, mounting TVs, building furniture—if something needs to be straight, you need a level. A three or four foot level works great for most homeowners. It also doubles as a straight edge when marking cuts. One trick I've used for years is using my level as a saw guide. Clamp it down along your cut line and run your circular saw against it. It works surprisingly well and saves you from buying specialized guides. Alongside a level, you'll eventually want a square too. That's the triangle-shaped tool carpenters use to make sure cuts and corners are perfectly 90 degrees. If you do enough projects you'll probably end up owning several different types. But starting out, one level and one square will cover a lot of ground. Headlamp This is one of the most underrated tools you can own. A headlamp lets you see exactly what you're doing while keeping both hands free. That's huge when you're working under a sink, inside an engine bay, or anywhere that doesn't have great lighting. Sure, you can hold a flashlight in your mouth or make a kid stand there holding it while you yell at them to point it in the right spot. Or you can just wear a headlamp and solve the problem. Magnetic flashlights and lanterns are also fantastic. Stick them under a car hood or onto a metal surface and suddenly your whole workspace is lit up. Step Ladder The last tool on the list is a step ladder. And yes, you need one. If you don't have a ladder, eventually you will do something stupid. You'll stack buckets. You'll climb onto chairs. You'll balance on random things that were never meant to hold your weight. Most of us have done it at least once. Having a proper step ladder eliminates all that nonsense and makes life easier. Whether you're reaching storage, fixing something overhead, or grabbing gear off a high shelf, you'll use it far more often than you expect. Building Your Core Tool Kit Between this episode and the previous one, you now have ten tools that solve the majority of problems around the house. You don't need a giant workshop or thousands of dollars worth of gear to be capable. A small set of practical tools—and the willingness to learn how to use them—goes a long way. Preparedness isn't just about food storage or bug-out bags. Being able to fix your own stuff, repair your home, and solve problems without calling someone else every time is a huge part of real self-reliance. This has been James from SurvivalPunk.com.

Pero, ¿no es Alicia en el País de las Maravillas un isekai? ¿Y el Mago de Oz? ¿Y John Carter o Planet Hulk? Junto a David "Batto" y FAEH de Ramen para dos, hablamos del origen de premisas en el cómic. Desde las novelas ligeras japonesas que inspiraron exitazos como Re:Zero Aquella vez que me convertí en un slime o Alice in Borderland pero también mangas que fueron precursores como Luchadoras de leyenda de Clamp o Fushigi yuugi de Yuu Watase hasta reencarnaciones en máquinas de vending o en Yamcha o mangas protagonizados por Putin. En el cómic de superhéroes tenemos desde aventureros como Adam Strange, Warlord o la Princesa Ametista, Gwenpool rompiendo la cuarta pared marvelita o Stan Lee interactuando con sus propios personajes. Dentro del mercado independiente americano desde la cafre I hate fairyland a la rolera Die, pasando por el Den de Corben. Hasta tenemos ejemplos de cómic español: Haxtur, Fernández, Rumas o Taxus. ¿Cuál son tus favoritos? ¿Formas parte de la policía de los isekai?

Logramos completar la RE: seña de este popular manga del colectivo CLAMP antes de fin de año, con nuestra invitada difícil de coordinar, Vicka. Publicado entre marzo de 1995 y abril de 1996, el segundo volumen de Magic Knight Rayearth encuentra a las heroínas titulares volviendo al mundo mágico de Cefiro para defenderlo de la invasión de otras tierras místicas similares, pero muy distintas. Las comparaciones son odiosas, pero no podemos evitar sopesarlo contra el volumen original, y quizá, con otras obras del género manga/shojo/magical princess. Con música de Locomía. y Huntrix (Ejae/Nuna/Ami). Próximo programa: Star Wars Stories / Star Wars: Visions Vol. 3.

Individuation isn’t about becoming better. It’s about becoming whole. At 75, neurologist Oliver Sacks finally integrated the parts of himself he’d kept hidden—his sexuality, his need for love, his domestic life (who knew he kept a library of Jung's work). Bill Hayes talks intimately about Sacks’s late-life transformation which exemplifies Jung’s crucial insight: growth isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about integrating what you’ve exiled. The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship in nonfiction, Bill Hayes is a frequent contributor to the New York Times and the author of seven books, including Sleep Demons; Five Quarts; The Anatomist; Insomniac City; and How We Live Now: Scenes from the Pandemic. His writing has also appeared in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Review of Books, the New York Times “T” Style Magazine, BuzzFeed, and The Guardian. His most recent book, SWEAT: A History of Exercise, a narrative nonfiction look at exercise from antiquity to the present, is available now wherever books are sold. Hayes is also a photographer, with credits including The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, and the New York Times. His portraits of his partner, the late Oliver Sacks, appear in the volume of Dr. Sacks's suite of final essays Gratitude. A collection of his street photography, How New York Breaks Your Heart, was published in 2018 by Bloomsbury. His photographs are available for sale as limited edition prints exclusively by CLAMP art gallery in New York City. Books by Bill Hayes: Patricia Martin, MFA, is the host of Jung in the World. A noted cultural analyst, she applies Jungian theory to her work as a researcher and writer. Author of three books, her work has been featured in the New York Times, Harvard Business Review, Huffington Post, and USA Today. She holds an MFA in writing and literature from Bennington College and an MA in cultural studies at the University College, Dublin (honors). In 2018, she completed the Jungian Studies Program at the C. G. Jung Institute Chicago where she is a professional affiliate. A scholar in residence at the Chicago Public Library, for the last decade she's been studying the digital culture and its impact on the individuation process. Patricia travels the world giving talks and workshops based on her findings and has a private consulting practice in Chicago. Be informed of new programs and content by joining our mailing list!

June 26, 2025 - Michael Peck and Dr. Christina Clamp to discuss the 2nd Volume of "Humanity@Work&life-Global Diffusion of the Mondragon Cooperative Ecosystem Experience.” Michael Peck co-founded 1worker1vote in 2014, alongside ten advisory board members, to build on the 2009 United Steelworkers/Mondragon Collaboration MOU and the 2012 Union-Coop Model. He currently serves as the organization's Executive Director. In early 2015, 1worker1vote was incorporated as a New York 501(c)(3) by CUNY Law School's Community Economic Development Clinic. Drawing inspiration from Mondragon's 70-year cooperative ecosystem, 1worker1vote is leading the “Good Trouble Capitalism” and “Generation Union” campaigns under its 2025 initiative. These efforts promote global Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) principles, community enterprise development, authentic sustainability metrics, predistributive financing, and cooperative-mutualist housing best practices. Central to its mission is advancing hybrid worker ownership and workplace democracy through union-coop models. Current collaborations include: The Coalition for Affordable, Cooperative-Mutualist Housing (NY project) ASETT (Mondragon-inspired SSE think-and-do tank) UNRISD and ASETT on Sustainable Development Performance Indicators The Mutualist Society American Sustainable Business Network Coop Cincy NewsSocial Coop (UK) Worx Printing (union-coop) Blue-Green Alliance Humanity@Work&Life publications Dr. Christina Clamp is heralded for her diverse work grounded in the values of civil rights, social justice and an inclusive economy. She is best known for her research on Mondragon, the world's largest worker cooperative. The results of her deep interviews with Mondragon managers and founders continue to inform human resource strategies for worker co-ops worldwide. Her extensive list of publications includes, most recently, a collection of 30 essays highlighting the story of Mondragon and its ongoing influence in the U.S. UK, Korea and Germany, Humanity@ Work & Life, coedited with Michael Peck. For more than 40 years Professor Clamp taught college courses on cooperatives and led a master's program in community economic development at Southern New Hampshire University. As an activist professor, Chris expected her students to be engaged with community groups, particularly those that support existing and developing co-ops. Her work crosses sectors in cooperative development: from cutting-edge research on worker and shared-services cooperatives to training generations of cooperators to building and connecting cooperatives to broader movements for community economic development and the social solidarity economy, Chris is a steadfast champion of cooperatives. Chris serves on the boards of the Local Enterprise Assistance Fund (LEAF), The ICA Group, and The Fund for Jobs Worth Owning. “Humanity@Work&life - Global Diffusion of the Mondragon Cooperative Ecosystem Experience 2nd Edition” , published by Oak Tree Press, frames a collective labor of earned merit, vision and determination by 36 contributors in six countries, three continents, proving how solidarity, innovation, and conviction forge sustaining local and global social economy practice on behalf of the greater common good.

But what if the founder-to-CEO shift wasn't about doing different things?What if it was about fundamentally seeing your role differently?In today's episode, I'm joined by Jennifer Clamp, a founder coach who specialises in supporting founders through the founder-to-CEO transition. Jennifer works within the Founder Coaches Network, helping founders reinvent their role and stay ahead of their organisation's growth through personal development.Together we unpack:How micro-behaviours can completely undermine your attempts to delegateThe shift from valuing "doing" to valuing "being" as a leaderWhy mindset changes are more powerful than behavioural changesHow to discover your unique version of being a CEO
