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

Chris Boyer and Reed Smith bring in two people who worked the problem from the inside. Chris Hemphill of Modular Feedback, who builds AI for a living, and Heather Nairn, a healthcare economist who reads this as an access problem first. The reflex across the industry is to point AI at the mess. Standardize the data, set some agents loose, let the model sort it out. Hemphill and Nairn tested that reflex against a plain deterministic workflow on exactly this job. The workflow won on accuracy, on speed and on cost. Their point is not that AI is useless here. It is that the most useful skill in this work is knowing when not to reach for it. The deeper problem is structural. Provider data is a commodity. Every payer and every health system chases the same handful of fields, guards its copy as proprietary, and rebuilds the same record in parallel. Every cycle spent on that is a cycle not spent on the access work that moves outcomes. Transportation, care coordination, the patient in crisis who just needs a number that connects.

In December, AFP published a fact-check about me by name. Last month, CTV turned that fact-check into a segment called Deception Decoded, using clips from my appearance on The Blendr Report.Neither outlet contacted me before publishing. Not once.In this episode, I do what they didn't: go through their claims line by line. What I actually said, what they say I said, and what their own reporting confirms — including that Canada leads the world in organ donation after assisted death and that more than 16,000 Canadians underwent MAID in 2024 alone.I also examine why Health Canada — the government agency responsible for overseeing the program — was presented as the primary authority for evaluating questions and concerns about MAID. And why that matters as Canada moves toward expanding eligibility to individuals experiencing mental health conditions in 2027.My invitation remains open to both AFP and CTV: come on the show and have the conversation you never offered me.Sources• AFP Fact Check (December 10, 2025)• CTV Deception Decoded (May 11, 2026)• Health Canada Annual Report on Medical Assistance in Dying (2024)• Bill C-62 and MAID Expansion Timeline• Original Blendr Report Appearance (Full Unedited Episode)Chapters0:00 — They Built a Segment Around Me and Never Called1:30 — What Actually Happened4:00 — What I Said vs. What They Say I Said7:00 — What Their Own Article Admits10:30 — When the Government Grades Its Own Program14:00 — What's Coming in 2027 and Why It Matters17:00 — My Open InvitationBuy me a coffee! - https://buymeacoffee.com/kelsisherenLet's connect!Rumble - https://rumble.com/user/TheKelsiSherenPerspectiveInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/thekelsisherenperspective?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw%3D%3DX: https://x.com/KelsisherenSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenSUPPORT OUR PEOPLE - - - - - - - - - - - -MasterPeace - 10% off with code KELSI - https://www.MasterPeace.Health/KelsiKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin - 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://www.brassandunity.com

We have spent years pulling friction out of healthcare. That work is right and it should keep going. This week Reed Smith and Chris Boyer come at it from the other side and ask what the friction that remains is trying to tell us. The frame comes from Jon Acuff, who argues that the size of the inconvenience a person will tolerate points to what they actually value. Aim that at patients and the data gets more honest than any survey. A patient who drives forty minutes past three closer hospitals for a specific surgeon is showing you a commitment you could never manufacture. A patient who hits a wall of hold music and no-shows rather than fight through it is showing you something too. The first is loyalty. The second is a system breaking in a way the industry keeps logging as patient disengagement. One thing complicates the read. Tolerance only counts as a signal when the patient had a choice. The drive past closer options can be a referral lock, a narrow network, a single in-network plan or rural geography with no second door. Read that patient as loyal and you let an access failure pass as a win. Then Reed and Chris flip the lens onto the organization. The initiatives that survive a budget cycle or a leadership change tend to be the ones where someone absorbed real organizational pain on purpose. Most good ideas in healthcare don't fail because they were wrong. They stall because the inconvenience of doing them outran the conviction behind them. In this episode, Chris and Reed cover: Why a patient's tolerance for friction reads more honestly than a satisfaction score The line between the friction tax you impose and the friction patients accept on purpose When loyalty is really a captured patient with no alternative The four inconveniences that quietly kill good initiatives inside a health system How to score an initiative's inconvenience against the commitment behind it If purpose shows up in what you're willing to put up with, your roadmap already knows which bets you believe in.

The U.S. administration has claimed yet another peace deal with Iran. So far Trump ended the war about 27 times. ATrump presented a peace deal to iran in which Iran is expected to sign. Conflicts in reports say that Iran accepted the deal, it was finalized, yet we see other reports that a "framework" towards peace has been signed, but the details have yet to finalize. They give it 60 days. Haven't see seen this before?On the other hand some charge Trump as being The Antichrist. Since he sits in position to make deals and CONFIRM agreements and peace treaties, they think he is the Antichrist to make those deals. Yet we have seen peace treaties attempted in the past. Just that some hate Trump and want a villian.Either way the arise of Antichrist falls into the Pretribulation Rapture dispensation doctrine, which has been proven false. I explain it in this episode.

Join Bryan Hayes, Jeff O'Neill and Jamie McLennan for Hour 1 on OverDrive! The guys kick things off with discussing the Toronto Maple Leafs trading Joseph Woll to the Philadelphia Flyers, and whether this was a good decision for the Leafs. They then discuss whether the Leafs defence core looks stronger following the move, if Matthew Knies should be on the trading block, and what the goaltending depth chart looks like in Toronto. Philadelphia Flyers General Manager Daniel Briere joins the show to discuss the Flyers move to acquire Joseph Woll and Simon Benoit, if he believes there will be a lot of movement in the league now that the Cup has been awarded, how the Flyers evaluate goaltending and why they had their eye on Woll, and what he expects out of Matvei Michkov next season. The guys wrap the hour up with Confirm or Deny.

David Abiker reçoit Michèle Benbunan, directrice général du pôle presse d'LVMH, et Maurice Lévy, président d'honneur de Publicis, pour discuter des temps forts de la prochaine édition de VivaTech, le plus grand rendez-vous européen dédié à l'innovation et aux startups.Les deux invités commencent par confirmer la présence surprise de Jeff Bezos, le fondateur d'Amazon et propriétaire du Washington Post, qui viendra s'exprimer sur scène aux côtés du PDG de Blue Origin et d'un astronaute. Cette participation de la part de l'un des hommes les plus influents de la tech mondiale est un véritable coup de maître pour les organisateurs de VivaTech, qui peuvent déjà se targuer d'avoir accueilli des pointures comme Mark Zuckerberg, Satya Nadella ou encore Elon Musk par le passé.Michèle Benbunan explique ensuite en quoi la couverture médiatique de l'événement par son groupe de presse, qui rassemble Les Échos, Le Parisien et Radio Classique, est essentielle. Selon elle, la presse est désormais intimement liée à la technologie, travaillant avec des plateformes et de l'intelligence artificielle. Couvrir VivaTech permet donc à son groupe de rester à la pointe de l'innovation et de rendre compte de l'évolution de l'économie et du monde des affaires de demain.Maurice Lévy, quant à lui, se montre résolument optimiste concernant les perspectives offertes par l'intelligence artificielle, malgré les craintes exprimées sur les destructions d'emplois qu'elle pourrait engendrer. Il estime que les progrès de l'IA se feront de manière progressive, nécessitant une véritable transformation en profondeur des entreprises pour en tirer le meilleur parti. Il promet d'ailleurs que VivaTech sera l'occasion de découvrir de nombreuses démonstrations et innovations dans ce domaine.Les deux invités abordent également la question de la taxation des géants du numérique, les GAFA, un sujet qui fait régulièrement débat. Michèle Benbunan souligne que la presse subit de plein fouet les conséquences de l'hégémonie de ces plateformes, qui absorbent les contenus sans pour autant rémunérer correctement les médias. Elle estime donc que cette taxation est nécessaire pour défendre un secteur fondamental pour la démocratie.Enfin, Maurice Lévy dresse un aperçu alléchant de ce qui attend les visiteurs de cette édition anniversaire de VivaTech, avec notamment la présence du Premier ministre indien Narendra Modi, qui viendra présenter les avancées de son pays dans le domaine de l'intelligence artificielle. Une édition qui s'annonce donc riche en innovations et en personnalités de premier plan.Hébergé par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

This week on Purple Political Breakdown Ohio Edition, Radell Lewis follows the money and the power across Ohio politics and keeps circling one question: who is Ohio's government actually working for? Radell opens with the biggest and newest story, the FBI search of the Cleveland offices of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, a progressive group that registers voters, and why the timing and the target deserve a hard, skeptical look. He revisits the FirstEnergy corruption scandal as the real, provable Ohio fraud story, then breaks down a busy week at the Statehouse: the two voter ID measures (Senate Joint Resolution 10, the constitutional amendment headed for the November ballot, and House Bill 472, the absentee photo ID copy requirement now sitting on the governor's desk), the data center tax break that lawmakers promised to end and then quietly kept, the Medicaid anti-fraud bill, and the 3.7 billion dollar capital budget. Then it is the races. The Senate fight between Sherrod Brown and Jon Husted, including the dueling Epstein attack ads and what is actually true about the Wexner donations, Husted's vote on Trump's anti-weaponization fund, and the latest polling that pushed Cook Political Report to move the seat to toss-up. The governor's race between Amy Acton and Vivek Ramaswamy, where Radell digs into Ramaswamy's tax plan, the independent cost estimates, and his own financial disclosure. And a full District Watch on Ohio's 4th and 5th, where Radell lays out exactly what Jim Jordan and Bob Latta stand for and what their challengers, Joshua Kolasinski and Brian Shaver, are offering instead. County of the Week is Butler County. Radell shares who he is voting for and why, makes the case for showing up even in deep red districts, and keeps it where he always does: political solutions without political bias, building a better Ohio on the way to a better America.

You don't need more productivity. You need more focus.By definition, cleaning your house is productive.But who cares if you're being productive on the wrong things?Jeff Bezos has said that he gets paid to make about three good decisions a day. That's it.He simply knows what matters and ignores everything else.When you learn new things, you have to apply them.Here's the trick: if you work or learn for just half an hour, then rest, then work for another half hour, you are much more productive. And once the work is done, you need to actually enjoy your free time. Otherwise, you won't stay productive for long.The best productivity advice I've ever gotten can be summed up in two words: do less.Do less of the stuff that doesn't matter so you can focus on the one to three things that actually do.Why you feel busy but still stuckJames Clear explains the difference between motion and action.Motion = planning and learning.Action = what actually produces a result.Both are necessary, but here's the catch:Why do we stay stuck in motion?Because it protects us. It gives us a feeling of pseudo-productivity that feels much more comfortable than risking failure.Next time you feel stuck, ask yourself: Is this motion or action?Less Time = More OutputWhen we set a clear deadline, we stop procrastinating.And after working, we also need to set aside time to enjoy ourselves. Otherwise, our inner child will rebel and we'll procrastinate even more.You're not unproductive because you don't have enough time.You're unproductive because you have too much of it.Pay attention to when you feel most productive and creative.Everyone has a 2- to 3-hour window each day when they are roughly three times sharper than at any other time.Find your window and protect it.What if you get interrupted?Here's a simple rule to become four times more productive:If something takes less than two minutes, do it now.Wash the dish. Reply to the text. Pay the bill. Confirm the plans.Every small task you put off adds invisible weight to your brain. By 2 p.m., you're mentally exhausted without having done anything that really matters.I enjoy doing the small things because it gives my unconscious mind space to work out the bigger solutions.Now, the flip side.A researcher at UC Irvine found that every interruption costs you about 23 minutes to refocus. That's because your brain bounces to two other tasks before returning to the original one.Check your phone a few times during a deep work session, and you've lost hours just trying to get back to where you were.So, run your errands on one day instead of three. Check email twice a day instead of all day. And do what I do: film all my videos on the same day to save over an hour of setup time per session.Group the small stuff and protect the deep stuff.How to be creative: Be empty firstIf you're not feeling creative, brainstorm until you're empty.I never force myself to be creative under pressure—it never works.I feel most creative in the morning and at night.In the morning, my mind is fresh and empty.At night, I let myself think through all the random, "stupid" stuff, and by the end, I feel empty again.Here's a one-liner to beat your inner perfectionist into submission:Done is better than perfect, because perfect never gets done.Do the hard thing firstWhen you tackle the hardest task first, everything else feels easy.The rest of the day could be chaos, and it wouldn't bother me, because the thing that actually mattered is already done.And if I can't figure out the hard thing, I do the easy things instead. While I'm busy with the small stuff, my unconscious mind keeps working on the bigger challenges.If you only did one thing today…One question changed everything for me:If this was the only thing I did today, what would make it feel like a win?Your "one thing" is probably whatever you're most likely to avoid. You know exactly what it is. You've likely been thinking about it while reading this.Do it this week and feel the relief.My Video: You Can Do More in 2 Hours Than You Can in One Week… https://youtu.be/7zPU68B52DwMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/You-Can-Do-More-in-2-Hours-Than-You-Can-in-One-Week.mp3

Hiring and keeping an associate sounds simple until the interview process, compensation questions, and culture-fit issues start to derail everything. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt brings on Cassie Tallon, an operations expert and founder of The Fractional Match, to explain why most dental practices fail when hiring associates and what to do differently. You'll learn how to evaluate fit beyond clinical skills, how to set compensation expectations with transparency, why paying on collections matters, and how to prepare your practice so an associate can actually succeed and stay. Listen to Episode 1058 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:Decide whether you want an associate purely for production or someone you will develop into a leader and potential legacy successor.Use a recruitment service instead of posting a job yourself without understanding today's compensation models and contract pitfalls.Evaluate relational and empathetic patient-care philosophy early, not just clinical procedure capability.Confirm the associate is coachable and willing to be led during onboarding, not just eager to produce immediately.Start onboarding with financial clarity—how the P&L works and how pay is calculated—to prevent distrust and turnover.Pay associates on collections to tie compensation to real revenue and reinforce documentation, billing, and follow-through habits.Fix patient mix, services, and marketing before hiring an associate instead of expecting the associate to solve a broken model.Snippets:00:00 Hiring Associates Is Hard01:06 Meet Cassie Tallon03:41 Associate or Partner Choice05:30 Recruiting Landscape Today06:56 Fit Over Clinical Skills10:40 Pay Models That Work12:35 Equity and Autonomy14:31 Fix Patient Mix First19:10 Develop Associates Skills22:00 Retention and Transparency24:02 Work Life Satisfaction27:47 XChange Soft Skills Talk30:01 Final Advice and Wrap UpGuest Bio/Guest Resources:Cassie Tallon is a dental operations leader with 20 years of experience spanning multi-doctor practices and DSOs, including supporting growth and operational efficiency across multiple locations.

Hey Heal Squad! Guess What?!! It's Maria's Birthday! And for a special treat - she's got so many fun travel, lifestyle, beauty, and wellness hacks in this week's What Worked This Week (just in time for summer!) Maria is sharing the small but powerful shifts that are helping her stay organized, simplify her routines, and create more peace in her everyday life. First up: a travel hack she swears by that could completely change the way you fly. Maria explains why buying an extra seat—or even an entire row—might be worth considering for your nervous system, especially when traveling with kids, recovering from an injury, or simply wanting a little more space and peace. Below, we have the exact steps to a “Third Seat of Peace" strategy. We also dive into one of the easiest health upgrades you can make today: swapping out synthetic fabrics for natural ones, starting with your underwear. Think about it: the clothes closest to your body matter most. Maria shares her favorite organic brands and why she's become much more mindful about everyday chemical exposure. Plus, she's revealing the clean beauty products she's currently loving, why she's moved away from heavy makeup, and the surprising lesson she learned after challenging herself to wear less.But the biggest takeaway from this episode isn't about travel, fashion, or beauty…it's about simplifying. Maria opens up about how streamlining her routines and eliminating unnecessary decisions has given her more time for the things she values most: her family, her health, movement, nature, and being present! Step-by-Step Extra Seat Travel Hack To properly book an extra seat and prevent it from being reassigned Book the extra seat under the same reservation as your ticket.• The seat should be ticketed as an "Extra Seat" (often labeled EXST) Make sure the airline has linked the extra seat to your reservation before travel Confirm the reservation before your flight to ensure the seat remains assigned to you.

The FBI built its case against Timothy Hudson on DNA evidence, surveillance footage, cellphone data, and a cabin timeline aboard the Carnival Horizon. DNA recovered from Anna Kepner's body points to her stepbrother with a probability prosecutors called 120 sextillion to one. The injuries Anna sustained were severe enough to rupture both eardrums. Her body was found hidden under the bed in the stateroom she shared with Hudson and another teen.The prosecution's timeline is meticulous. Anna was last captured on surveillance entering the room at 7:38 p.m. She was never seen leaving. Hudson was in the cabin during the critical window. His movements afterward, captured on the ship's cameras, showed him walking past the room without stopping to check what was happening — even as crew members discovered what had been hidden inside.But the evidence has a gap that could prove decisive. Every DNA sample recovered links to what allegedly occurred before Anna's death — not to the act prosecutors say ended her life. Under oath, the FBI's lead case agent was asked whether anyone collected DNA from the bruising on Anna's neck, where she allegedly suffered the mechanical asphyxia that was ruled her cause of death. He said he wasn't sure. The agent leading the entire investigation couldn't account for whether the most critical piece of evidence was ever collected.Complicating matters, Anna had a prior consensual encounter with another minor on the cruise. That individual was tested and excluded — but the defense will leverage that encounter to challenge the prosecution's DNA narrative.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke join Tony Brueski to examine how this evidence gap changes the calculus at trial and what it means for the prosecution's case.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

This microcast episode focuses on recognizing signs that aging parents need help and how to approach caregiving with respect and sensitivity. It offers practical tips for observing changes, maintaining independence, and planning supportive care.Aging Parents: Signs They Need Help & What To DoRecognizing when aging parents need help is usually aboutpatterns of small changes over time.

https://jo.my/jld2xuExit Routes, Drills, and Emergency LightingEmergencies don't send calendar invites.A fire won't wait until everyone remembers the exit route. A severe storm won't pause while someone checks the location of the assembly point. Power can drop. Alarms can sound. People can panic. Fast. Dangerous. Preventable.That's why emergency preparedness matters during National Safety Month. It's not about checking a box. It's about making sure every person in the facility knows where to go, what to do, and how to help others move safely when seconds matter.A strong Safety Culture doesn't wait for an emergency to expose weak spots. It finds them early. It trains them. It fixes them before they cause someone to get hurt.Here are a few tips to assist you with National Safety Month, Week 1, Emergency Preparedness: Review exit routes before they're needed. Walk the facility and confirm that exit paths are clear, marked, and easy to follow. Don't assume everyone knows the way out. New employees, visitors, contractors, and temporary workers may need extra direction. Confirm assembly point locations. Make sure each crew member knows where to report after leaving the facility. The assembly point should be far enough from danger, easy to find, and clear of traffic or emergency response areas. Run “No-Notice” fire and weather drills. Planned drills help, but surprise drills show what people really know. Watch how the crew responds. Look for confusion, blocked paths, missed headcounts, and slow reactions. Check emergency lighting. If the power goes out, emergency lights become the guide rope. Test them on a regular schedule. Replace weak batteries, damaged units, and lights that don't cover key walkways, stairs, exits, or work areas. Use every drill as a teaching moment. Don't shame people for mistakes. Fix the gaps. Talk through what happened. Update procedures when needed. A drill that reveals a problem is doing its job. As always, these are potential tips. Please be sure to follow the rules and regulations of your specific facility.Emergency preparedness works best before the smoke, sirens, wind, or darkness shows up. That's the whole point. You train on a normal day, so people can react on the worst day.This week, look at your facility with fresh eyes. Find the blocked exit. Check the weak light. Ask the employee who looks unsure. Then fix what needs fixing. Safety isn't paperwork. It's people going home because someone cared enough to prepare.Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips. Until we meet next time - have a great week, and STAY SAFE!

Employees and volunteers of public charities often participate in the political and democratic process in ways that connect to their organization's mission. While a 501(c)(3) cannot engage in partisan activity, individuals don't give up their First Amendment rights when they are staff, board members, or volunteers of a public charity. In our last episode, we talked about candidate appearances at charitable events. But what if the call is coming from inside the house? In this episode, we'll share some practical tips and best practices to help you engage in electoral work as an individual while keeping your organization safely within the rules to protect its tax-exempt status.   Attorneys for this episode  Victor Rivera  Quyen Tu  Sarah Efthymiou  Show notes  Basic rule: 501(c)(3) organizations are prohibited from participating in partisan political activity. This rule also applies to anyone acting on an official capacity on behalf of the c3. This means that (c)(3) leaders, staff, and volunteers may not use the facilities, equipment, personnel, or other c3 resources to provide support to or oppose a candidate or campaign. However, this prohibition does not apply to the activities of officers, directors, or employees of 501(c)(3)s who are acting in their individual capacity.  Best Practices: Election Activities of Individuals Associated with 501(c)(3)s  Know when you're on the clock. 501(c)(3) staff may work on political campaigns outside of work hours, or while using their available leave time. However, time for which a charity compensates a staff member is also the charity's resource and should not be used for supporting or opposing candidates. Even unpaid time off could be problematic if permitted to staff outside of standard personnel policy limits and preferentially allow them to volunteer on some campaigns and not others.  Don't use c3 resources for political purposes. A charity should not allow its assets or facilities to be used for individuals' personal campaign work (including obvious resources like letterhead, photocopiers, and telephones, as well as perhaps less obvious ones like distribution lists, postal mailing permits, and email accounts). And, since 501(c)(3)-sponsored events use the organization's reputation and goodwill, 501(c)(3) representatives cannot support or oppose candidates at events.  Adopt an election-season policy. 501(c)(3) organizations should make staff aware, in writing, of policies against using organizational resources for supporting or opposing candidates.  Make clear what hat you're wearing. Individuals should make it clear that they are speaking for themselves and not for the organization when participating in partisan activities off the charity's clock.  Best Practices: 501(c)(3) Employees Running for Office  In addition to supporting candidates, individuals who work for or serve as board members for 501(c)(3) organizations may wish to run for office themselves. In those situations, it is important for the 501(c)(3) associated with the candidate to avoid supporting or opposing the candidacy, as well as avoid giving the appearance of supporting or opposing the candidacy.  Avoid allowing 501(c)(3) resources to be used for campaign activities, including facilities and staff time.   If mentioning candidacy, do so for informational purposes only.  Confirm whether government grants place any restrictions on staff running for office.   If using a 501(c)(3)'s social media accounts, be careful about liking or sharing content from the candidate's account/campaign.  Resources   Rules of the Game: Guide to Election-Related Activities for 501(c)(3)s  Sample 501(c)(3) Organizational Policy for Election Season   501(c)(3) Employees Running for Office (Factsheet)  Election Activities of Individuals Associated with 501(c)(3)s   Board Members and Election Year Activities)  The Hatch Act of 1939: Frequently Asked Questions  8 Tips For Nonprofits with Employees Running for Public Office

Can you check the schedule? I just want to confirm our reservation. Make sure you bring your passport.Check, confirm, and make sure. These words seem pretty similar, right? They all involve checking information somehow. But sometimes it's easy to mix them up. Can you say, “Please confirm the weather?” Or, “I checked that my friend came to the party”? Or maybe, “Make sure the reservation”? Hmm… something sounds a little strange there.

Today we're digging into a topic you might not have considered before: the importance of clean financial data. We talk about numbers constantly—how to focus on them, why they matter, and what you should be looking at. But we haven't truly discussed why having clean information is the absolute backbone of successful decision-making in a product-based business. The Danger of Dirty Data I recently spoke with two clients who were using a financial analysis tool to guide their buying. The tool kept telling them to buy more, buy more. They followed the data, thinking they were being efficient, only to end up buried in inventory that didn't move. That wasn't a supply chain problem or a marketing problem—it was a data problem. Dirty data is dangerous because it doesn't come with a warning label; it looks like fact, but it's actually fiction dressed as finance. What Does Dirty Data Look Like? If you want to avoid making wrong decisions confidently, watch out for these five common red flags: Miscategorized Transactions: Expenses floating in no man's land or assigned to the wrong revenue streams. COGS vs. OPEX Confusion: When your inventory purchases are blurred with operating expenses, you can't see your true margin. Timing Errors: Recognizing revenue when cash hits rather than when it's earned (Cash vs. Accrual). Inventory Valuation Gaps: Your books say you have 800 units, but your warehouse only has 500. Un-netted Discounts: Refunds and chargebacks that aren't properly subtracted from your top-line revenue. The Three Cs of Clean Data To run a genius inventory system, your data must be: Consistent: Applying the same rules and categories every single month. Connected: Your POS, bank account, and accounting software should all tell the same story. Current: Books should be reconciled and in your hands by the 15th–20th of every month—not just at tax time! 8 Key Data Points You Need to Track I want you to look at your dashboard and ask: “Do I actually have this number, and can I trust it?” Gross Margin by SKU: Not just overall, but by category and brand. Inventory Valuation: Real-time wholesale and retail value. 12–13 Week Cash Flow: A forward-looking projection of your bank balance. Net Revenue: Gross sales minus returns, fees, and discounts. Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): What it actually costs to get a buyer through the door. Inventory Turn: How fast your product is moving by department. All-in Cost Per Unit: The landed cost including shipping and handling. Contribution Margin: Revenue minus all variable costs to see what truly goes toward profit. Your 3-Step Data Audit Don't just listen—take action today with these three simple steps: Step 1: Pull your P&L and go line-by-line. Ensure every expense is correctly categorized. Step 2: Confirm your bookkeeper is reconciling accounts monthly and delivering reports on time. Step 3: Check your POS. Ensure every SKU has an accurate cost associated with it. Final Thought: Stop treating your books like a tax document and start treating them like a GPS. Clean data leads to better decisions, which leads to stronger margins, which leads to cash.

In this episode of The Sports Docs Podcast, Dr. Ashley Bassett and Dr. Catherine Logan sit down LIVE from the Arthrex Team Physician Controversies with foot and ankle expert Dr. Ned Amendola to discuss the modern management of ankle syndesmosis injuries (“high ankle sprains”) in athletes. The conversation focuses on when surgery is indicated, the evolution from rigid screw fixation to dynamic stabilization with TightRope technology, surgical pearls, and accelerated return-to-sport strategies for high-demand athletes.HighlightsWhen Does a Syndesmosis Injury Need Surgery?Most isolated, stable syndesmosis injuries can be treated nonoperativelySurgery is indicated when there is:Mortise wideningInstability on stress imagingAssociated fibula fracturesSignificant ligament disruption (AITFL, PITFL, interosseous membrane)Key principle:Instability—not just diagnosis—drives surgical decision-makingThe Shift from Screws to Dynamic FixationTraditional screw fixation challenges:Screw breakage and looseningFrequent hardware removal surgeriesRestricted physiologic motionLonger non-weight-bearing periodsAdvantages of TightRope fixation:Dynamic stabilization with physiologic micromotionLower risk of malreductionFaster rehabilitationNo routine hardware removalKey insight:Dynamic fixation respects normal syndesmotic biomechanicsTightRope Surgical TechniqueCritical first step:Anatomic reduction of the fibula in the incisuraTechnique highlights:Confirm reduction on AP, mortise, and lateral imagingDrill 2–4 cm above joint line, parallel to plafondPass TightRope across all four corticesCarefully seat medial buttonTension laterally while maintaining reductionPearls:Clamp carefully to avoid malreductionAvoid posterior fibular translationEnsure proper button seating without soft tissue interpositionOne vs Two TightRopesOne construct may suffice for:Lower-demand athletesIsolated injuries without fractureTwo constructs favored for:High-energy injuriesAthletesFibula fracturesRotational instability or Maisonneuve injuriesKey principle:Persistent rotational instability drives the need for additional fixationOutcomes with Dynamic FixationBenefits seen clinically:Lower reoperation ratesLess stiffnessFaster functional progressionEarlier return to sportAthletes tolerate early motion and rehab particularly well with dynamic fixationThe TightRope PRO SystemImprovements include:Smaller drill tunnelsLower-profile buttonsLess soft tissue irritationControlled self-tensioning handlesKey insight:Modern implant design improves precision and preserves boneRehabilitation & Return to SportIsolated injuries:Early ROM within 1–2 weeksProgressive weight-bearing by 4 weeksRunning around 8–10 weeksCutting/pivoting at 10–12 weeksElite athletes may return as early as 6–8 weeks in select casesReturn-to-play criteria:No syndesmotic tendernessSymmetric dorsiflexionNegative stress testingFunctional cutting/acceleration testingPsychological confidence in the ankleKey TakeawaysSurgical treatment is based on instability and biomechanics, not simply imaging findingsDynamic fixation with TightRope technology has transformed syndesmosis management in athletesProper reduction technique remains the most important surgical factorModern fixation allows for earlier rehabilitation and faster return to playReturn-to-sport decisions should incorporate both functional and psychological readinessFeatured GuestDr. Ned Amendola – Duke University, President of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, Head Team Physician and Chief Medical Officer for Duke Athletics
