This inaugural episode of the CardioNerds Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Series explores the evolution of acute PE care. Dr. Ibrahim Zahid, Dr. Dinu Balanescu, and Dr. Billy Joe Mullinax join guest expert Dr. Kenneth Rosenfield to discuss the shifting landscape of PE management. Pulmonary embolism (PE) remains a leading cause of cardiovascular mortality and a frequent diagnostic challenge, often masquerading as myocardial infarction or a benign illness. Over the past decade, PE care has evolved from anticoagulation-only strategies to nuanced, risk-stratified, multidisciplinary management. Modern approaches integrate hemodynamics, biomarkers, and advanced imaging to guide therapy, including catheter-directed interventions and large-bore thrombectomy. The Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT) model addresses historical gaps by coordinating rapid, multispecialty decision-making and standardizing care pathways. The PERT Consortium further advances PE care through education, research, and the world's largest PE registry, while fostering leadership and research opportunities for trainees. Despite advances, long-term outcomes and post-PE syndromes remain important areas for future investigation. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy intern, student doctor, Pace Wetstein.

Pearls PE is a “master masquerader”—maintain suspicion for atypical presentations like myocardial infarction, heart failure, flu, or anxiety. Multidisciplinary management mediated through pulmonary embolism response teams improves outcomes and standardizes care. Risk stratification integrates hemodynamics, biomarkers, and imaging. Advanced therapies have expanded beyond anticoagulation. Long‑term follow‑up and post‑PE syndrome need more research. Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Ibrahim Zahid. 1. How has the clinical approach to PE changed over the past decade? PE is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death and historically under‑recognized. Symptoms mimic MI, HF, asthma, syncope, and more.PE is a silent killer, and it should be recognized more as a cause of spontaneous cardiac arrest. Where life threatening disease like stroke which is owned by neurological specialists and MI is primarily managed by cardiac specialists, PE is an entity without a professional home. The PERT Consortium brings the specialties together for PE care. 2. Ten years ago, a 58-year-old patient with a large bilateral PE, RV dilation, and positive biomarkers might have been managed with anticoagulation and close observation alone. Today, with evolving—but still uneven—data on advanced therapies, PE care feels far more nuanced and highly dependent on where you practice. What are the major gaps in traditional PE management that clinicians should recognize, and what care pathways should they be aware of across different hospital systems? Care has shifted from anticoagulation‑only to multidisciplinary approaches like catheter directed thrombectomy. Risk‑based pathways and the use of CT angiogram has improved early recognition. Risk stratification tools must be used as tools for early recognition of intermediate risk PE. Untreated PE leads to chronic complications like chronic thromboembolic disease and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, which requires long term clinic follow up. 3. What is the role of risk stratification tools such as PeSI, sPeSI scores, cardiac biomarkers, and imaging findings in PE, and how do they guide treatment decisions in real world practice? Integrate vitals (blood pressure and heart rate), biomarkers (troponin, pro-BNP), RV/LV ratio assessment, acid‑base status, and scores. Tools include PESI, sPESI, BOVA, HESTIA, FAST, Geneva, NEWS, shock index. Vitals, lactate, acid-base status, and tools like NEWS or shock index track clinical evolution. PESI/sPESI estimate 30-day mortality and help identify low-risk patients who may be candidates for early discharge or outpatient therapy. Clinical judgment matters—scores don't fully capture clot burden, trajectory, or bleeding risk. 4. How was the pulmonary embolism response team created, and since its creation, what evidence or outcome data became available to support the PERT model? Originated after a sentinel case at MGH: A young, pregnant woman in her 30s, who collapsed at home, underwent thrombectomy, and had to be on ECMO for a few days. The case brought cardiology, cardiac surgeons and critical care physicians together for planning and improvement in her health, which was rewarding. Thereby, it was decided to bring specialties involved in PE care together to create a response team. The name of the team, Pulmonary Embolism Response Team (PERT), was coined by Richard Channick in the first meeting. Posters were set up all over the hospital to call a centralized line when an acute PE is recognized A meeting was held to present the concept of putting together a consortium, with development of action items and a PERT database. Enabled rapid multidisciplinary input using early teleconferencing tools. 5. Given concerns about having too many ‘cooks in the kitchen' during the initial PE call—especially with rotating teams—how can institutions reconcile workflow complexity with standardized pathways in a way that meaningfully supports and justifies the added burden on frontline clinicians? Every hospital's PERT is different, catering to their needs and workflow At least two disciplines are needed to make a PERTData is currently being collected to guide further on how the workflow can be standardized Most importantly, the team brings in resources that were not available prior to PERT formation. 6. What are the main goals of the PERT consortium, and how does it support clinicians and institutions involved? To improve care and improve outcomes for patients with PE Expand education, refine algorithms, standardize care with Centers of Excellence. Maintain the largest PE registry for research and outcomes improvement. 7. Beyond global networking, shared learning from successful systems, and the pathway toward Center of Excellence designation, what additional benefits can clinicians and health systems gain by participating in the PERT Consortium? The ability to learn from other systems, the ability to share experiences. Allow people to develop their professional careers like leadership experience, becoming a member of the trainee council Initiate projects and receive funding for your ideas 8. For trainees interested in pulmonary embolism care, how can a trainee be a champion at their institution? Does PERT provide assistance and how can they really contribute meaningfully even before becoming a fellow/attending? Medical students and residents interested in PE should reach out to the consortium and the consortium will hook you up with the correct mentors who can nurture you along. Listen to the podcasts. Participate with your local PERT team PERT wants involvement of people who are social media savvy to help spread the word on PE. Top three take-away points from this episode Acute PE care has advanced and multiple treatment modalities for acute PE including catheter directed therapy, large bore thrombectomy, are becoming standard of care. Multidisciplinary models like PERT improve coordination and outcomes.

In today's episode, we will look at the elements of a clinical examination and how we should put the information together to determine what is in the best interest of the patient.  This is not about choosing one method of diagnosis, but it is about compiling data into a complete clinical picture. 

Podcast Comment/QuestionAI is everywhere—but is it working for you?Many physicians view Artificial Intelligence as either a distant concept or a clinical tool. Few recognize its power as a personal career strategist.Whether you're exploring non-clinical options, polishing your resume, or mapping your next move, AI can be your most powerful ally—if you know how to use it.The secret? It's all in the prompt. Just as "garbage in, garbage out" applies to data, the quality of AI's career advice depends entirely on the specificity of your questions.In my latest article, I break down:Why all AI platforms are not created equalThe clinical analogy that explains effective promptingHow to use AI to diagnose your career options and build an action planAdvanced tactics for tailoring your resume to specific opportunitiesIf you're a physician contemplating a non-clinical path, you need to understand this tool. Others are using it to gain an edge. Don't get left behind.

Unconscious bias refers to attitudes and beliefs about certain people or groups of people that affect understanding, decisions, and actions. Early-semester nursing students are perfectly positioned to learn about unconscious bias and strategies to mitigate it. In the podcast and article, Dr. Natasha Morris shares a simple exercise she developed for students to highlight these biases. During a post-clinical conference, students are presented with a scenario where the world is ending, and a shelter can accommodate only 7 individuals to survive. After students make their selections, they critically examine their decision-making processes.

PainExam Podcast Show Notes Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation) for Pain Evidence, Mechanisms, and Clinical Applications Host: Dr. David Rosenblum Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM) or low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is an emerging non-invasive treatment modality increasingly used in pain medicine, rehabilitation, and regenerative medicine practices. In this episode of the PainExam Podcast, Dr. Rosenblum reviews the mechanisms, clinical evidence, indications, and safety considerations surrounding photobiomodulation therapy for pain. Red and near-infrared wavelengths stimulate mitochondrial activity, increase ATP production, reduce inflammatory mediators, and promote tissue healing. These physiologic effects may translate into analgesic benefits for a variety of musculoskeletal and neuropathic pain conditions. Clinical research suggests potential benefit in temporomandibular disorders, chronic neck pain, and inflammatory oral conditions, though results vary due to differences in dosing parameters and treatment protocols. Despite these limitations, PBM has a favorable safety profile and is increasingly being integrated into multimodal pain management strategies. Key Topics Covered • What is photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) • How red and near-infrared light interact with mitochondria • Mechanisms of analgesia and tissue repair • Evidence from clinical trials in TMD, neck pain, and oral inflammatory pain • The biphasic dose response (Arndt-Schulz law) • Safety profile and contraindications • How PBM may integrate with regenerative pain medicine Mechanism of Action Photobiomodulation works primarily through stimulation of mitochondrial chromophores, particularly cytochrome c oxidase. This leads to: • Increased ATP production • Modulation of inflammatory cytokines • Increased angiogenesis and tissue repair • Reduced oxidative stress These effects may improve pain, inflammation, and healing in certain musculoskeletal conditions.

Send a textDoes our fear of necrotizing enterocolitis do more harm than good? In this live episode from the Neo conference, Ben and Daphna sit down with Dr. Ariel Salas to challenge the "culture of fear" surrounding neonatal nutrition. Dr. Salas argues that while we obsess over ill-defined NEC risks, we may be sacrificing the proven benefits of early feeding on sepsis reduction. From the emotional weight of "wasted" breast milk to the "illusion of control" provided by strict protocols, this conversation urges neonatologists to move toward a family-centered, evidence-based approach that prioritizes human milk over clinical hesitation.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) has long been managed with repeated surgical debulking, sometimes requiring dozens of procedures over a lifetime. In this episode of BackTable, Dr. Aaron Friedman and guest host Dr. Stephen Schoeff discuss a major shift in care: immune-directed therapy targeting HPV 6 and 11. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Friedman reviews the recent FDA approval of the Precigen product PAPZIMEOS (August 2025), a therapeutic vaccine designed to stimulate HPV-specific T-cell responses. Clinical trial data show that about half of treated adults required no additional surgeries over the following year, with many responders maintaining durable benefit for years. The conversation also covers traditional management strategies, adjuvant therapies like bevacizumab, HPV vaccination, and the evolving algorithm for adult RRP care. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction02:13 - RRP Patient Types and Symptoms05:06 - Adult vs Juvenile Transmission10:46 - When to Escalate Treatment15:40 - Immunotherapy 18:55 - Trial Enrollment, Results and Dosing Rules26:17 - Durable Long Term Response30:47 - Who Should Get Treated32:34 - Logistics And Public Perception37:50 - Future Research And Prevention --- Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis Foundation Position Statement on the Management of Adults With RRPhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41543033/ Dr. Stephen Schoeffhttps://healthy.kaiserpermanente.org/washington/clinicians/stephen-schoeff-6848607 Dr. Aaron Friedman https://www.uchealth.com/en/provider-profiles/friedman-aaron-d-1609057587

In this episode, host Don Adeesha sits down with Drew Fine, U.S. general manager for the professional channel at Obagi Medical, to explore the shift from traditional lab studies to real-world clinical data. Drew explains why standard clinical trials are no longer enough and introduces the Aloha program, an initiative designed to gather practice-based evidence and give clinic owners a direct seat at the R&D table. Drew breaks down the strategy behind launching a new premium HA filler in a saturated market, emphasizing the power of integrating skincare with injectables to improve patient outcomes and increase average ticket sizes. He challenges the traditional, transactional vendor relationship, advocating for transparent partnerships that eliminate complicated contracts, volume-based inventory handcuffs, and fluctuating costs. Finally, Drew details how to operationalize clinical wellness as a powerful retention engine rather than relying on short-term discount wars. Drawing from his leadership experience at Allergan, Galderma, and Obagi, he reveals the single non-negotiable operational trait shared by the top one percent of scaling practices: an exceptional workplace culture where teams do excellent work, have fun, and continuously learn.  

If you've ever found yourself making excuses for someone who never once made them for you, this episode is exactly where you need to be.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/dr-stephanie-kriesbergIf you've ever walked away from a relationship wondering how you lost yourself along the way, this episode is for you. Dr. Stephanie Kriesberg, clinical psychologist and one of the only therapists in New England certified in the "Will I Ever Be Good Enough?" model, joined us to talk about narcissism, hypnotherapy and what healing actually looks like in practice.First things first — not all narcissists look the same. Dr. Kriesberg breaks down the two main types: the grandiose narcissist who dominates every room and needs constant admiration, and the covert narcissist who's quieter but just as skilled at getting other people to orbit around their needs. Both types share the same core: a lack of empathy, no real self-awareness and an expectation that the world exists to regulate their emotions. As Dr. Kriesberg puts it, a narcissist is essentially a child in an adult's body.So why do so many smart, capable people end up in these relationships? Because narcissists can be magnetic. They shower you with attention early on, make you feel chosen and needed — and by the time the dynamic shifts, you're already in deep. Dr. Kriesberg also addresses one of the most common misconceptions people carry: the belief that love, patience or the right circumstances will change things. They usually don't.We also talked about what not to do. Trying to explain yourself endlessly, hoping that if you just say it the right way they'll finally get it? That burden is not yours to carry. Instead, Dr. Kriesberg encourages people to hold onto their own sense of self, practice assertiveness and listen to their gut — especially those early red flags that are easy to rationalize away but hard to ignore once you know what they mean.And then there's hypnotherapy. This is where the conversation gets really interesting. Clinical hypnotherapy has nothing to do with stage shows or clucking like a chicken. It's a focused, relaxed state that helps people access their imagination and memory in a more intentional way. Dr. Kriesberg uses it with clients recovering from difficult relationships to help them reconnect with who they were before the relationship chipped away at them — recalling moments of confidence, competence and clarity, and bringing those back into the present. It's not a standalone fix, but woven into a broader therapy approach, it can be genuinely powerful.Dr. Kriesberg also makes the case that the most important factor in therapy isn't the model or the method — it's the relationship with your therapist. If it's not clicking, find someone else. The ball is in your court.This was a real, grounded conversation about patterns that are easier to spot in hindsight and harder to escape in the moment. Give it a listen.

How does your brain actually detect smell and taste? And why does the MCAT care so much about the difference between flavor and taste?In this Jack Westin MCAT Podcast episode, Mike and Molly break down everything you need to know about olfaction and gustation for the MCAT. Building on our previous episode about GPCR signaling, we walk through how smell and taste both rely on chemoreceptors, why they use different signaling pathways, and how they combine to create your perception of flavor.In this episode, you'll learn:

This podcast explores the science, policy, and clinical reasoning behind updated pediatric immunization schedules.

Send a textWhat are we actually compressing during neonatal CPR? This week on The Incubator Podcast, Ben and Daphna dive into a provocative echocardiography study out of Edmonton showing that standard chest compressions in newborns likely target the right heart and great vessels — not the left ventricle. A small sample size, but a finding that anyone who ultrasounds hearts all day will instantly recognize.Daphna presents a retrospective multicenter study from Nationwide Children's on antibiotic duration for Gram-negative bloodstream infections in the NICU. Short course (≤8 days) showed no treatment failures — while 14% of infants in the long duration group developed a multi-drug resistant organism infection. Eight days versus ten: does the difference matter? The data says yes.Ben reviews a randomized controlled trial from UAB on early vitamin D supplementation in extremely preterm infants fed human milk. Eight hundred units daily for the first two weeks appears safe and effective at achieving vitamin D sufficiency — but did it move the needle on BPD? And is that even the right question to ask?Daphna brings a QI paper from Levine Children's on universal social determinants of health screening across nine pediatric divisions, achieving 92% compliance and connecting thousands of families to resources through findhelp.org. A reminder that the tools are already there — we just have to use them.The episode wraps with Ben, Daphna, and Eli discussing Colorado's landmark paid NICU leave law — the first in the nation to require employers to provide up to 12 weeks of paid leave for parents with a baby in the NICU. What does the evidence say, and how do we advocate for this in our own states?Science, equity, and advocacy — all in one episode.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Welcome to PsychEd, the psychiatry podcast for medical learners, by medical learners. This is our second book club episode centered around the novel Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health by Thomas Insel, MD.This book is a part memoir / part manifesto written by one of our generation's most important leaders in neuroscience and psychiatry, Dr. Thomas Insel. Dr. Insel served as the director of the NIMH for 13 years from 2002-2015. Healing is replete with his reflections on personal and clinical experiences as well as epidemiological data, research, and policies related to mental health. Dr. Insel argues that medicine's failure to significantly reduce the mortality and morbidity of psychiatric illnesses is less due to a lack of scientific progress, and more a result of poor implementation of existing interventions that are already well supported by the evidence.Guest: Dr. Thomas InselHosts: Dr. Gaurav Sharma - Staff psychiatrist working in Nunavut, CanadaDr. Kate Braithwaite - Family doctor from South AfricaAhmad Khan - MS4 at Western UniversityDr. Sophie Gregoire-Mitha - PGY1 Psychiatry resident in ManitobaAudio editing: Dr. Gaurav SharmaEpisode Evaluation: Dr. Angad SinghOur discussion is divided into 3 main sections:(2:48): Main themes from the book(15:58): Clinical application of strategies discussed in the book(41:30): Reflections on the book in the current Psychiatric landscapeFor more PsychEd, follow us on Instagram (@psyched.podcast), Facebook (PsychEd Podcast), X (@psychedpodcast), and Bluesky (@psychedpodcast.bsky.social‬).

What does it mean to use the Enneagram in therapy responsibly? In Part 1 of this two-part conversation on Typology, Anthony Skinner and I lay the groundwork for therapists, counselors, and coaches who want to responsibly integrate the Enneagram into clinical practice with wisdom and care.  Together, we unpack what the Enneagram is—and what it isn't—in the therapy room. It's not a diagnosis. It's not a substitute for evidence-based modalities. And it should never flatten complexity or bypass deeper trauma work. I also share practical wisdom from decades of work as a therapist, priest, and Enneagram teacher, offering guidance for using the Enneagram in a way that increases compassion rather than contempt, flexibility rather than rigidity, and insight rather than shame.  At its best, the Enneagram helps us see people not as problems to solve, but as stories shaped by fear, longing, and adaptation. Used wisely, it becomes a powerful reflective tool that deepens emotional intelligence, strengthens therapeutic relationships, and supports real transformation. When the Enneagram is used well, it doesn't replace therapy. It deepens it.
