Lincoln and Dante have put together a team that can break into the underground fortress at Alnwick, where Callista keeps a piece of her soul and uses it to channel magical energy from a hideous anemone polyp farm. Dante is on the run from both Callista and the powerful mage Vestinian. Vestinian hired Icepick to see if Dante is in Lumencia, and to kill him if he's there. Following a hunch, Icepick went to Cordis and confronted Dillon Cantrell, who brought Lincoln and Dante together for this objective. Is Icepick closing in? And if he is, how does it affect the Alnwick caper?

Dante Oganov is getting ready to make another run at Callista to take over her criminal holdings in Lumencia. Dante, with help from Lincoln's friend and former lawyer Dillon Cantrell, set up a bounty to test Lincoln. Lincoln had to defeat a swarm of lagrounes, water-based undead that attacked from beneath the Bendelson Bridge near downtown. Dante is on the run from Vestinian, who once tasked Dante to find Billy Middleton. Dante failed. Vestinian wants payback. He hired famed bounty hunter Icepick to find Dante. Icepick, and his familiar Herbie, a giant, diamond-plated tortoise known as a diamortuga, had an early run-in with Lincoln and Billy at the bridge just before Lincoln & co took out the lagrounes. Now, Lincoln has been summoned to Cordis for a talk with Juanita Socorro, the Clostator of the Bastion. Lincoln does not know what she wants, but he has no choice but to obey her summons. Billy is joining Lincoln on the trip. Together, they will visit the Clearinghaüs pawnshop and find Billy's signature weapon. Lincoln, of course, is unaware that Billy has been sneaking off to Cordis for magical training sessions with Morgan Stone, the former assistant of Kellius Droman and former protector of Droman's daughter, Delilah.

Working together, Lincoln, Billy, Magda, and Ariella learned that Teddy's lair is beneath a Big Nasty's restaurant in Cordis, close to the supernatural pawnshop known as “the Clearinghaus,” and also close to the Bastion's fortress headquarters. The Bastion has a magical interference zone around it, a zone that includes the Clearinghaus and Big Nasty's. This zone, affected by a persistent spell known as “mesh-buzz,” hides the detection of all meshwork within it. It also makes magic unpredictable — sometimes magic works fine, sometimes it produces unexpected results, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. Lincoln and Billy left for the Clearinghaus, where they planned to meet with rixators Sophia Franks and Lukas Franks, Lincoln's sister and brother, respectively, and with Kellius Droman and his assistant Morgan Stone.

Teddy Two-Fingers missed his shot at kidnapping Delilah Droman, who he wanted as his “foreman” in his malevolent nightmare-harvesting operation. Can he find a replacement candidate? Delilah's father, Kellius Droman, hired Lincoln as Delilah's bodyguard. When Kellius hunts Teddy Two-Fingers or trains Billy, Lincoln must stay at the Droman Mansion and protect young Delilah. Surprisingly, Lincoln and Delilah have hit it off. She trusts he can keep her safe, while he benefits from her optimism and youthful energy that he can't experience from his own child, Sam, who remains trapped on The Shelf — where Teddy put him. Billy's training with Kellius goes on at Kellius's facility, the “Nonagon,” in the mystical city of Cordis. Billy needs to find his “loom,” the structure upon which he can channel the powerful, innate magic that courses through his body.

When Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsed, seemingly lifeless, on Monday Night Football in January: the world stood still. But somewhere on Long Island, New York, one mother watched everything unfold knowingly, fully aware of what had happened to Hamlin. Because the cause of Hamlin's collapse was the same condition – Commotio Cordis – that had taken her son's life 23 years earlier. So today, Tisha Thompson shares the story of a decades-long mission that grew from that loss, which has saved hundreds of lives, including Damar Hamlin. Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to PICU Doc On Call, A Podcast Dedicated to Current and Aspiring Intensivists.I'm Pradip Kamat coming to you from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta/Emory University School of Medicine and I'm Rahul Damania, from Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital. We are two Pediatric ICU physicians passionate about all things MED-ED in the PICU. PICU Doc on Call focuses on interesting PICU cases & management in the acute care pediatric setting so let's get into our episode:Welcome to our Episode about a 14-year-old male who collapsed on the baseball field.Here's the case presented by Rahul:A 14-year-old male athlete was playing in a high school baseball tournament when he was hit in the chest with a pitched ball. The impact caused him to collapse on the field. Bystander CPR was begun given his unresponsiveness and emergency medical services were immediately called. The patient was transported to the hospital. Upon arrival, he was unresponsive and had no pulse. An electrocardiogram (ECG) showed ventricular fibrillation, and advanced cardiac life support was initiated. After several shocks and cardiac compressions, the patient regained a pulse and was transferred to the pediatric intensive care unit for further evaluation and management.To summarize key elements from this case, this patient has:Been struck by a high-velocity object in the chestSuffered a cardiac arrest, likely due to an arrhythmia from the blunt chest traumaThe presentation brings up a concern for Commotio Cordis, our topic of discussion today!We wanted to create this educational episode in light of the recent medical event experienced by the Buffalo Bill's safety Damar Hamlin. His blunt chest trauma, which led to cardiac arrest, has been postulated to be due to commotio cordis. At the date of this record, we are glad that Damar Hamlin is on the road to recovery.Absolutely, let's dive in more into this topic, Let's start with a short multiple-choice question:The 14-year-old described in our case suffered cardiac arrest after blunt chest trauma. Based on the working diagnosis of comottio cordis, what is the most likely EKG finding which may be seen in this patient?A. Ventricular fibrillationB. Ventricular tachycardiaC. Complete heart blockD. AsystoleThe correct answer is A. In a study published in JAMA (2002; 287(9):1142-1146) which used data from the US Commotio Cordis registry maintained by the Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation, reported that the most common arrhythmia out of the 128 confirmed cases, 82 of which had EKGs which could be analyzed was ventricular fibrillation. Three patients had Vtach, 3 had Bradyarrhythmia and 1 had complete heart block. Although 40 patients had asystole, this was unlikely to be the initial rhythm after impact. Interestingly, the majority of these rhythms were recorded at the scene.Rahul, What is the definition of Commotio...

Today we are talking about Damar Hamlin, commotio cordis and cardiac arrest, how it is relevant to baseball, and what if anything can be done to help prevent it.We recently witnessed the clip of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin collapsing after a collision with Bengals wide receiver in a NFL football game. People have speculated that Hamlin went into cardiac arrest from commotio cordis. Our understanding is that for commotio cordis to occur, the impact has to occur in the right place (right over the heart), at the right time in the heart's rhythm, by an object of a specific size. In this case, an opponent's shoulder. The treatment is immediately administering CPR, and using an AED (automated external defibrillator) until medical professionals arrive.The National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE)is an independent, non-profit organization that funded research to develop the world's first performance standard to protect against commotio cordis in 2018. The performance standard applies to the protectors worn in the sports of baseball and lacrosse. Today, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and NCAA require all catchers to wear protectors that meet the standard. Some of these products can include a traditional style chest protector but may also include compression shirts and coverings that are more suited for positional players or pitchers.

Prayers out to Damar Hamlin, his family and friends. Quick explanation of commotio cordis, defending Skip Bayless.
Congratulations, folks, you made it through another trip around the sun. Your prize for achieving this accomplishment? Another heaping dose of crazy in case your supply was running low. Sara Gonzales, BlazeTV host and Ron DeSantis fanatic, was in attendance at Ron DeSantis' inauguration in Florida. She fills us in on the festivities in the Sunshine State. The newly reelected governor of Florida appeared rather presidential, but does that mean he's running in 2024? We know Donald Trump is putting his name back in the race, but is it too late? Has Trump's moment passed him by? Damar Hamlin, a player for the Buffalo Bills, tragically collapsed on the field Monday, leading many to speculate what caused this otherwise healthy athlete's heart to suddenly stop. While everyone's praying for Hamlin to pull through, it's important that we're allowed to ask questions about what caused this horrifying incident. The powers that be would have you believe his heart stopping was the result of a hit to the chest, medically known as commotio cordis. Remember, he who controls the vocabulary ultimately controls the narrative. Today's Sponsors: Sign up today to save FIFTY PERCENT on your first subscription year!

One of the scariest scenes unfolded this past Monday night for the world to see. There was great excitement for this game, as two of the best teams in the NFL were competing head-to-head with playoff implications. A packed stadium and a buzz that only great teams can generate. Shortly after the game had started the unthinkable occurred… 24-year-old Damar Hamlin was injured on the field. Just a routine tackle. A play that you've seen numerous times in a game and one that you would never think twice about. As Hamlin stood up, he soon then collapsed back down and lay motionless on the field. Doctors rushed by his side, administered CPR, and 20 minutes later he was rushed to the hospital by ambulance. Dr. Grant Garcia wanted to share some information about what happened and explain what Commotio Cordis is: a trauma to your chest, a type of injury that is usually associated with Baseball, Lacrosse, Hockey, and combat sports. Dr. Garcia wants to let coaches and families know how to be prepared and recognize the difference between a common injury and a life-threatening one. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nyseasportstalk/support

Contributor: Travis Barlock, MD Educational Pearls: Gauge and length of catheter are determinants of flow rate Smaller gauges produce higher flow rate Longer catheters reduce flow rate Common IV gauges produce predictable rates of flow: 20 gauge = 60 cc/min 18 gauge = 105 cc/min 16 gauge = 220 cc/min Central lines typically have two 18 gauge and one 16 gauge lumen, both with long catheters, producing the following slower flow rates: 18 gauge = 26 cc /min 16 gauge = 55 cc/min Sheath Introducers, such as Cordis brand catheters, are wider and shorter than classic central lines. Flow rates are 150 cc/min, or 130 cc/min with pressure bag Maximal flow allows for one unit of blood to be delivered over one minute It is important to consider length and gauge of catheter when patients require fluids References Greene N, Bhananker S, Ramaiah R.

On today's show, we have a very special treat in the form of the Trail & Ultra Running Husband and Wife team of Abby and Cordis Hall. Abby has been lighting up the ultra scene with multiple finishes over the years at races like the North Face Endurance Challenge, Leadville Trail 100, and of course Ultra Trail du Mont-Blanc or UTMB - most recently with an impressive 3rd place podium finish. Cordis is no stranger to the ultra scene with impressive finishes at UTMB, TDS and most recently a 100K finish at Innsbruck Alpine Trailrun Festival. We get into their origins as runners and husband and wife by biting off massive challenges together - sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding, but always loving and supporting one another. I recorded this way back in February and the episode sat on the shelf since then, but with the relaunch, I wanted to share the conversation with all of you. So, if you're ready for the show, crank it up and let's go!
