The journey between hospital departments can be the most dangerous part of a patient's perioperative experience. This eye-opening episode dives deep into the hidden risks of intra-hospital patient transport. We examine the current literature on transport safety with particular focus on the challenges faced by anesthesia professionals. The data is sobering — between 4-9% of transported patients require medical intervention due to transport-related complications. With increasing production pressure, decreased support personnel, and rising patient acuity, we ask the critical question: are we transporting patients safely?We break down transport-related adverse events into essential categories: respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, and equipment-related. The 2023 I-TOUCH study provides valuable insights, showing cardiac events, respiratory complications, neurologic issues, and equipment problems as the most common challenges during transport. We explore how patient factors (age, illness severity, ventilation requirements) and system factors (transport duration, communication gaps, staff experience) contribute to these risks.Beyond patient safety, we discuss the often-overlooked physical risks to anesthesia professionals themselves, who report high rates of work-related musculoskeletal injuries from maneuvering heavy transport equipment while managing patient care. The good news? Evidence-based guidelines exist to mitigate these risks. Join us next week as we continue this crucial conversation with practical recommendations from the American College of Critical Care Medicine and the Society of Critical Care Medicine for safer perioperative patient transport.Have you experienced challenges during patient transport?

Groong Week in Review - June 1, 2025In this episode of Groong's Week in Review, recorded on June 2, 2025, guest Benyamin Poghosyan joins hosts Hovik Manucharyan and Asbed Bedrossian to unpack a tense and volatile week in both regional and domestic politics. The conversation opens with rising tensions in the Ukraine war, as drone strikes reach deep into Russia, Germany lifts missile restrictions, and Trump labels Putin “crazy,” all while Iran nuclear talks remain frozen under hardline U.S. demands. The focus then shifts to the South Caucasus, where Turkish FM Hakan Fidan met Lavrov in Moscow to push the “3+3” platform and floated Istanbul as a summit venue for global powers. Meanwhile, Erdogan, Aliyev, and Pakistan's PM Sharif staged a PR spectacle in Lachin to inaugurate a third airport in occupied Artsakh, signaling strategic realignments. Back in Armenia, the Pashinyans launched harsh verbal attacks on the Armenian Church just as Baku's Grand Mufti claimed Etchmiadzin as Azerbaijani land, prompting questions of tacit coordination. The episode also revisits the impeachment debate versus opposition planning for the 2026 elections, probing whether security and corruption can drive real political traction. Finally, the hosts spotlight the rise of regime-aligned oligarch Narek Nalbandyan, whose sweetheart deals, state-enabled asset grabs, and government-backed expansion raise serious concerns about the erosion of anti-corruption values in Armenia today.TopicsStatus of Ukraine and US-Iran CrisesHakan Fidan in MoscowErdogan, Aliyev, Sharif in LachinAzerbaijan and Pashinyan Attack the Armenian ChurchImpeachment vs. ElectionsThe Kitchen SinkGuest: Benyamin PoghosyanHostsHovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 442 | Recorded: June 2, 2025SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/442VIDEO: https://youtu.be/oo_B7xhOVlMSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

Développer les infrastructures dans les corridors sud de la RDC, notamment celui de Lobito et de Banana, le sujet était au centre des discussions lors du salon du développement des villes et des corridors, Expo Béton, qui réunissait une centaine d'acteurs des secteurs public et privé à Lubumbashi. Parmi les leviers importants de ces projets figurent les infrastructures routières. Mais la RDC peine à mobiliser les ressources pour financer leur réhabilitation. Sur le tracé du corridor de Lobito, se déplacer par la route de Kolwezi à la frontière avec l'Angola, est un parcours du combattant. « Pour parcourir les 440 km, ça peut prendre 15 à 20 jours, voire un mois !, témoigne Donat Tshimboj, transporteur des marchandises sur ce tronçon. Les camions se renversent avec leurs marchandises. La plupart des transporteurs ont décidé de retirer leurs camions de la circulation. »Cette situation n'est pas unique. La RDC a un réseau routier de 156 000 km dont près de 4 000 km seulement sont asphaltés. Le salon du développement des villes et des corridors à Lubumbashi a recommandé l'investissement dans ce domaine. « Nous avons entendu des appels urgents sur des partenariats publics-privés pour accélérer les investissements dans les infrastructures stratégiques », rappelle Jean Bamanisa, directeur d'Expo Béton.Déficit du Fonds national d'entretien routierMais du côté du secteur public, le Fonds national d'entretien routier (Foner), l'organisme chargé de la mobilisation des ressources financières, connaît un déficit criant. Ses recettes proviennent à 95% de la redevance sur la mise en consommation des produits pétroliers. Alors qu'il a besoin d'au moins 950 millions de dollars par an pour l'entretien des routes, le Foner ne mobilise que 156 millions de dollars à cause de la fraude. « Un premier niveau de fraude se manifeste lorsque certains produits n'arrivent dans les entrepôts, explique Pierre Bundoki, le directeur général du Foner. S'ils n'arrivent dans les entrepôts, on ne peut pas percevoir [la redevance]. Le deuxième niveau de la fraude, c'est au moment de la sortie des entrepôts, tout n'est pas renseigné. À titre illustratif, en 2024, le Foner devait percevoir 458 millions de dollars, il n'a encaissé que 164 millions de dollars. »À lire aussiRDC: trous énormes, boue... la route entre Goma et Masisi, un cauchemar pour les conducteursModèle tanzanien de financement ?Pour l'heure, la RDC reste le maillon faible de ces corridors faute de capitaux. Pour relever le défi, la Tanzanie a proposé à la RDC son modèle de mobilisation locale des ressources financières. « En Tanzanie, il y a eu les Samia Bonds, détaille Patient Mwenze, le directeur adjoint de la CRDB (Cooperative Rural Development Bank), une banque commerciale tanzanienne installée en RDC depuis 2023. C'est une levée des fonds qui a été faite, où la CRDB a permis à la population de souscrire à ses obligations. En l'espace de trois mois, ça a permis de lever 125 millions de dollars qui sont allés dans la construction des infrastructures. »La RDC espère qu'avec les partenaires privés, elle pourra exploiter tous les corridors sud.À lire aussiLes routes en Afrique: un frein au développement?

In 2005, while visiting the gift shop at the downtown Los Angeles MOCA museum, I came upon a blank journal with a cover fashioned from a salvaged vinyl album by The Allman Brothers. It had the pink Capricorn label. As a lover of vinyl I grabbed it, and decided to begin a journal. It's been ten years, and I've been keeping this diary and transcribing my dreams ever since. Dreams, ideas for songs, and a chronicle of my family and interior life. I always intended to go back and see if there was some sense of something to be made out of it, and this is the first attempt at that.I hope you find it interesting. Bill Mesnik, 2025“The Interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind. “ (Sigmund Freud)“In contrast to the subjectivism of the conscious mind the unconscious is objective, manifesting itself mainly in the form of contrary feelings, fantasies, emotions, impulses and dreams, none of which one makes oneself but which come upon one objectively.” (Carl Jung)"Myths are public dreams; dreams are private myths. By finding your own dream and following it through, it will lead you to the myth-world in which you live. But just as in dream, the subject and object, though they seem to be separate, are really the same." (Joseph Campbell)“One day it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams.” (Salvador Dali)
India's biodiversity hotspots are under growing threat from linear infrastructure—highways, railways, canals, and transmission lines that fragment habitats and disrupt wildlife corridors. In this thought-provoking episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we dive into the world of landscape ecology and wildlife conservation with two leading conservationists, Sheetal Kolhe and Milind Pariwakam, co-founders of the Landscape Research and Conservation Foundation (LRCF).With extensive experience at institutions like the Wildlife Trust of India and Wildlife Conservation Trust, Sheetal and Milind share powerful insights into the hidden cost of development on India's wildlife. From tiger movement barriers to roadkill data gaps, this episode explores real-world conservation strategies and the power of citizen science to drive change.
Central Asia is one of those regions that isn't getting a lot of attention these days, as it's not a major player in the escalating U.S.-China trade war. But that may soon change as both major powers look to the region to source energy, critical minerals, and build new logistics corridors. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spent a few days in the Kazakh capital Almaty meeting with his five Central Asian counterparts to plan an upcoming leaders summit that will take place in June. Meantime, the Uzbek government this month confirmed an ambitious critical minerals deal with the United States, highlighting the region's growing strategic importance. Yunis Sharifli, CGSP's non-resident fellow for Central Asia, joins Eric from Ankara, Turkey to discuss why this renewed attention on Central Asia will also propel the development of ambitious new transport routes linking Asia and Europe.

In this episode of Glowing Older, host Nancy Griffin interviews Paul Nagle, Executive Director of Stonewall Community Development Corporation. They discuss the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ seniors, including discrimination in housing and the need for innovative community-driven solutions. Paul shares his personal journey as a survivor of AIDS and his activism in creating supportive housing and care systems for LGBTQ older adults. The conversation highlights the importance of resilience, community, and advocacy in addressing the needs of this marginalized population as traditional long-term care systems face collapse.About Paul Paul has over 30 years in both nonprofit administration and LGBTQ+ activism and currently serves as the Founding Executive Director of Stonewall Community Development Corporation (Stonewall CDC) since 2015. Before joining Stonewall CDC, Paul was the Executive Director of Cultural Strategies Initiative Inc. (CSI), a program of Demos, established with a major grant from the Rockefeller Cultural Innovation Fund. The mission of this project was to strengthen art's central role in civic life, to enhance cultural, community, and environmental sustainability. Before that, as Director of Communications & Cultural Policy for NYC Councilmember Alan Gerson (2002-2010), Paul organized the hard-hit cultural community in District 1 and engaged them in crafting strategies to help preserve and revitalize the arts in Lower Manhattan in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. His community-generated plan, Campuses & Corridors, served as the blueprint for a partnership between the Mayor, the Council Speaker and the Councilmember that was very successful in providing targeted capital and programmatic investments to restore the sector and convince the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation to grant $70 million to small to mid-sized arts organizations. Paul earned both of his degrees from the Gallatin School at New York University, graduating summa cum laudefrom the bachelor's program. He earned his masters' degree at age 49 in 2007. An abridged version of his master's thesis, Room for Creativity – the Role of Artists' Live/work Space in the New Economy, was published in The International Journal of the Arts in Society.Key Takeaways Stonewall Community Development Corporation focuses on housing and care for LGBTQ older adults. The organization has successfully placed over 1,400 families in permanent housing.Discrimination against LGBTQ individuals in housing isprevalent and often overlooked. Community generated systems of care are essential for LGBTQ seniors.The traditional long-term care system is collapsing due to outdated policies and low wages. Building networks of care is crucial for community resilience.

Late last night, the House Budget Committee approved GOP leadership's voluminous one-bill budget plan — a giant step toward fulfilling President Donald Trump's policy agenda, but one that sets them up for collision with the Senate GOP's two-bill approach. But launching it out of committee may have been the easy part. Where do things go from here? POLITICO Capitol bureau chief and “Corridors” columnist Rachael Bade joins Playbook deputy editor Zack Stanton to walk through it all. Plus, the Trump administration axes thousands of government employees, and the Justice Department sees major resignations after ordering prosecutors to drop bribery charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Neither a documentary on the films of David Lynch nor a film about the man we knew as David Lynch. But an account of a young man who through circumstance and single-minded drive, would find himself in and construct just the sort of environment that could form a David Lynch. Directors Olivia Neergaard-Holm, Jon Nguyen, and Rick Barnes put the camera on a man making art and a microphone on a man looking back at his early life.

On this week's edition of the Talking Michigan Transportation podcast, a conversation with Art Green, manager of the Grand Rapids Transportation Service Center, about some federal grants announced recently for his area.But first, Green talks about his experience with extreme winter events in Grand Rapids, like this week's lake-effect snow and extended sub-zero temperatures. Much of the focus in questions to transportation agencies on social media channels focuses on salt and a lack of understanding about how it loses effectiveness in very cold temperatures.Green explains how the department maximizes its salt use and mixes in other mitigation efforts.A $25 million grant will help rebuild the vital East Beltline Avenue bridge at the junction with I-196 and I-96 east of Grand Rapids. Green explains that the new bridge will feature nonmotorized connections for trails to the north and south of the interchange. It will also ease congestion on some of the ramps.He also talks about a grant to support planning for better connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists between the east and west sides of US-131 just north of downtown Grand Rapids.

This week, we're featuring two interviews concerning prison conditions in North Carolina. First up, you'll hear from Elizabeth Simpson of Emancipate NC, one of the signatories to a public letter to this state's department of corrections calling for the release of hundreds of prisoners in North Carolina. This comes in response to over-crowding and understaffing of prisons following the emergency transfer of 2,000 prisoners from prisons in the western part of the state effected by Hurricane Helene. [00:01:15 - 00:18:50] Then, Mona Evans of Benevolence Farm, a post-release residence and re-entry program in North Carolina for people coming out of the women's prisons talks about their programs, re-entry and some of the realities faced inside womens prisons in this state. [00:20:04 - 01:04:40] In this conversation I mentioned Victoria Law's latest book, Corridors of Contagion: How the Pandemic Exposed the Cruelties of Incarceration (Haymarket Books). You can find our 2013 interview with her about her 2nd edition of Resistance Behind Bars: The Struggles of Incarcerated Women at this link. Other projects Mona mentioned include: Arise Collective re-entry program DownhomeNC engages in a number of progressive causes in this state, including the bail fund that Benevolence Farms is currently running. You can find our 2020 interview with them here. . ... . .. Featured Track: Women on the Inside by Sistas In The Pit from The We That Sets Us Free: Building A World Without Prisons
