Podcasts about Cowden

How do you tell whether a zebra is male or female?The male doesn't' talk about their #raredisease.This can be hard on them. There have been very few places for them to gather to take care of their #mentalhealth. David Hogan set out to change this when the COVID pandemic threatened to isolate us all even more. David is affected by Cowden's syndrome, and his mother had the condition as well. When she died, he felt the full weight of rare disease on his own mental wellbeing. He noticed that there were many places for women to gather, but it was not a great place for men to show their vulnerabilities. We needed something different. David took action and started inviting men in the rare disease community into conversation. Those conversations have now become the Men's Rare Wellness Forum, a monthly opportunity for the male zebras to take care of themselves and each other. All men in the rare community – patients, Dads, brothers, caregivers, and providers – are invited. You can learn more about the Men's Rare Wellness Forum by reaching out to David at mensrarediseasemh@gmail.com or searching “@mensrarediseasemh” on Instagram or David Hogan on LinkedIn

Janice Cowden, retired nurse and patient advocate, shares her remarkable triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) story. Five years following successful treatment for stage one breast cancer in 2011, Janice was diagnosed with a stage 4 metastatic TNBC recurrence. As of today she has 8 years of no evidence of disease (NED) under her belt. She shares how she stumbled upon the cancer community that inspired her to become the advocate she is today and the uncertainty that comes with NED. She also shares how she copes with losing friends in the cancer community through her patient advocacy work. We also have a rapid fire Q&A where she answers questions surrounding various medical terminologies, diagnoses, and more to keep you in the loop. NOTE: There is one clarification from the rapid fire Q&A session. The definition of disease free survival (DFS) is the time from random assignment (used in clinical trials and research studies to assign participants to different groups) to cancer recurrence or death from any cause (Gutman SI, Piper M, Grant MD, et al. 2013).Key Highlights:1. Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is stage four breast cancer that has spread to distant sites in the body.2. Finding events and communities centered around cancer not only supports cancer patients emotionally and socially, but can also serve as informational hubs. Being proactive in learning about your diagnosis, whether it's through community and/or research on your own time, can help you feel confident with the choices you make. 3. While finding a community of other cancer patients can help, unfortunately this disease means that you will lose friends you make in these settings. It doesn't necessarily get easier, but finding an outlet to cope with such losses is vital to your wellbeing.About our guest:Diagnosed with Stage IV triple negative breast cancer in 2016, five years after an early-stage breast cancer diagnosis, Janice launched into patient advocacy following training through Living Beyond Breast Cancer's (LBBC) Hear My Voice Outreach program in 2017. As a peer-to-peer support and research patient advocate, Janice is passionate about supporting others with metastatic breast cancer, in addition to continually furthering her scientific knowledge base of this disease, treatments, and clinical trials, which she acquires through attending scientific breast cancer conferences and webinars. Janice is involved with several patient-founded and led organizations including PCDI, GRASP, and Project Life MBC. As a trained peer support volunteer, she is founder of an international online peer support group for patients newly diagnosed with MBC. She serves on the Board of Directors for METAvivor Research and Support Inc., and is an Advisory Board member for Project Life MBC. She is an individual member of the Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance. When she's not busy with advocacy work, Janice enjoys traveling, reading, outdoor activities, and spending time with family, including her husband, two adult children and three grandchildren.Disclaimer: This podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

CancerNetwork®, in collaboration with the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT)®, hosted a Twitter/X Space during the 2025 Tandem Meetings. The live conversation featured Rahul Banerjee, MD, FACP, of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, and Shernan Holtan, MD, of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. Together, they shared expert commentary on new data in CAR T-cell therapy and hematopoietic cell transplantation.With insights drawn from posters, oral abstracts, and late-breaking presentations, the session unpacked both clinical takeaways and implications for patient care.Highlights included:LBA1 – Ide-cel + lenalidomide maintenance post-transplant in MM patients“This merges two worlds,” said Banerjee. “Not a tandem in the classic sense, but a transplant followed by CAR T.”[Garfall et al., Abstract LBA-1]Abstract 50 – Real-world CAR T use in early relapsed/refractory LBCLHoltan noted, “In this cohort, no statistical survival difference was seen between second- and third-line therapy, though the curves suggest a trend.”[Rojek et al., Abstract 50]Poster 340 – CAR T targeting CD83 in breast cancerBanerjee speculated on future innovations: “If we could deliver these locally, without systemic effects, that would be a game changer.”[Betts et al., Poster 340]Poster 317 – IEC-colitis in cilta-cel-treated patientsBanerjee reflected, “We assumed steroids would help, like with GVHD. But outcomes didn't align.”[Chang Lim et al., Poster 317]Poster 572 – Driving restrictions post-CAR TBanerjee advocated for updated policy: “Patients often can't regain full independence until driving is restored—this restriction lacks strong evidence.”[Banerjee et al., Poster 572]Presentation 58 – Physical function tests to predict ICANS and mortality“These simple tools helped flag patients unlikely to benefit from CAR T,” said Holtan. “This could refine patient selection.”[Herr et al., Presentation 58]Poster 618 – HCT outcomes for MDS patients by age groupHoltan expressed optimism: “We need conditioning regimens that are effective yet gentler—especially for older patients.”[Duarte et al., Poster 618]Presentation 39 – Immune suppression trends post-HCT (18,000+ patients)Looking ahead, Holtan predicted a shift in GVHD care: “In 10 years, steroids may no longer be our go-to.”[Pidala et al., Presentation 39]Poster 516 – Patient experiences with chronic GVHD via social media listeningHoltan emphasized the human element: “We must prioritize mental health, community support, and advocacy alongside clinical treatment.”[Cowden et al., Poster 516]The discussion emphasized not only the clinical relevance of each study but also broader themes—improving quality of life, adjusting standards of care based on real-world findings, and advancing innovation through thoughtful, patient-centered research.References:Garfall AL, et al.

A Day Inside Lori Vallow Daybell's Trial: The Photos, the Bullets, and the Warnings “You have a habit of adding things to witness answers, and when you do that, it's a form of testifying,” Judge Beresky told Lori Vallow Daybell in the final moments of the day, as court wrapped after a marathon of cross-examinations, autopsy details, and crime scene photos. By the time court adjourned at 4:34 p.m., Lori had spent hours at the podium cross-examining Chandler Police Detective Daniel Coons, trying to challenge the state's version of how Charles Vallow was shot and killed. It was her chance to unravel details about bullet trajectories, the positioning of shell casings, and whether her brother Alex Cox could've plausibly been where he claimed when the shots were fired. Coons held firm: the bullet trajectories were consistent with Charles being shot while lying on the floor, one bullet embedding in a baseboard. The shells? Just inches from the wall. And the gun, a .45 caliber semiautomatic, ejected to the right—not left, like Lori suggested might have mattered. At one point, Lori veered into the realm of firearms training, asking if center mass is what police are taught to aim for. Coons confirmed, yes—it's about stopping the threat. Then she asked if novice shooters are taught the same. He said no. It was a brief window into the angle she seemed to be aiming for, though the judge regularly reminded her to keep her own commentary out of the questioning. Photos of the home were admitted—over a hundred of them. Exterior shots. The front door. A Reebok hat on the floor. Blood pooling around Charles' body. A bat nearby. Projectiles in baseboards. Bullet casings marked with yellow placards. And in one particularly dramatic moment, a chunk of flooring was presented in court. It had been cut out to preserve a mark that investigators said was made by a bullet passing through Charles' body. Lori objected to some of the photos being admitted but was mostly overruled. The judge said the images helped the jury visualize the scene. She used some of the same photos in her cross, trying to push back on Coons' conclusions, asking if divots in walls or trajectories could have occurred differently, if maybe the shooter wasn't where Coons said. He stood his ground. Earlier in the day, Chandler Fire Captain Kent Keller testified about Charles' condition when medics arrived. Lividity and skin modeling were already setting in. His pupils were fixed. No electrical activity in the heart. CPR was initiated but quickly deemed futile. According to Keller, there was no indication anyone had attempted life-saving efforts before the fire crew arrived. The positioning of Charles' body, the small pool of blood, and the condition of his skin all suggested death had occurred some time before. Lori pressed Keller hard on the science of lividity and modeling. Could it happen in just a few minutes? Would medication change how the body looked? She floated the idea that maybe CPR had been done, just not effectively. Keller, and another paramedic named Cowden, said they saw no signs of it. In fact, they testified that effective CPR would've caused more bleeding—blood would've been forced out by the compressions. There just wasn't any, aside from the pooling underneath. At one point, Cowden described performing CPR while another EMT prepared the heart monitor. He said Charles was found with a baseball bat and ball cap nearby, but no one else was in the room. The house was otherwise empty, aside from officers clearing it. His account was backed up by Keller, who described the scene as calm, with the main objective being to assess, perform CPR, and confirm the lack of vital signs. Throughout the day, Lori tried to walk the line between playing defense attorney and defendant. She questioned procedure, timing, blood patterns, CPR protocols, and scene diagrams. But the judge frequently reminded her about courtroom boundaries. When she asked whether someone had spoken to the media, the judge called for a sidebar. When she objected to Coons' expert testimony, the judge ruled against her but gave her space to cross-examine thoroughly. As court neared the end, a small issue arose: subpoenas had been sent by the defense to detectives, but without contact info. The judge told Lori to have her investigator handle it. Also, she was reminded to flag any photo exhibits she needed by the following morning. With that, court adjourned.  #LoriVallow #CharlesVallow #CrimeScene #TrueCrimeCourtroom Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

With that, court adjourned.  #LoriVallow #CharlesVallow #CrimeScene #TrueCrimeCourtroom Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Breaking Down Lori Vallow Daybell's Delusional Role As Her Own Attorney A Dead Man, a Doomsday Plan, and 47 Minutes of Silence Charles Vallow was shot twice inside a house he paid for. He lay dead on the floor for 47 minutes before anyone bothered to call 911. And now, the woman once married to him—Lori Vallow Daybell—is on trial for conspiring to make that happen. This isn't Idaho. It's Maricopa County, Arizona. But the woman at the center of the story is the same: convicted murderer, former beauty queen, five-time wife, and self-proclaimed spiritual warrior who believed people could become “zombies” possessed by evil spirits. In this trial, Lori isn't just the defendant—she's also her own attorney. Representing herself, cross-examining witnesses, and objecting to testimony as she fights charges that she orchestrated the murder of her estranged husband in 2019. According to prosecutors, Lori conspired with her brother, Alex Cox, to kill Charles so she could cash in on a $1 million life insurance policy and clear the way to marry Chad Daybell—an LDS fiction author and her apocalyptic soulmate. They say this wasn't spontaneous. It was a plan rooted in delusion and tied up in scripture. Days before the shooting, Lori texted Alex: “It's all coming to a head this week. I will be like Nephi, I am told, and so will you.” In LDS scripture, Nephi is known for killing a man because God commanded it. On the morning of July 11, 2019, Charles texted Lori's other brother, Adam, with a warning: “They're planning something.” Adam replied, “Absolutely.” Charles showed up at Lori's Chandler home to pick up their son, JJ. He never made it out alive. The first shot went through his chest and pierced his heart. He fell. Then, according to testimony and forensic evidence, a second shot was fired from above, traveling downward into the floor, where the bullet lodged in a baseboard across the room. Maricopa County firefighter Scott Cowden testified that when he arrived, Charles was already cold. No pulse, no breath, no attempt at CPR. Cowden, who teaches CPR for a living, said he knew right away no one had tried to save Charles. When he started compressions, he felt the telltale crunch of an untouched chest cavity. It's the grim equivalent of walking into a house and smelling smoke—you just know. What Cowden didn't see? Blood. Aside from the pooling around Charles's body, there was nothing. No trail down the hall. No mess in the kitchen. No bloody towels, napkins, or paper—despite Alex's claim that he'd been holding his bleeding head. Cowden said the paper towel Alex had was mostly clean. He also noticed Alex didn't look injured. Didn't act it either. He described him as calm, nonchalant. Sunglasses still perched on his head, perfectly balanced and unbothered—odd for someone who supposedly just wrestled with a former semi-pro baseball player. Then there's the silence. Lori left the house with JJ and Tylee, taking Charles's rental car. She went to Burger King, then Walgreens, then dropped JJ off at school. She spoke with Alex twice while out. Still, neither of them called for help until 47 minutes had passed. Lori told officers she fled the scene in fear. That Charles had come at her with a bat. That Alex had to step in. But investigators say the entire story was staged. In court, prosecutors pointed to Lori's motive: Charles had secretly changed the beneficiary on his life insurance policy months earlier. Lori was out. His sister, Kay Woodcock, was in. After Charles's death, Lori called the insurance company—and only then learned she wasn't getting the money. She texted Chad Daybell: “He changed it in March. It was probably Ned before we got rid of him.” “Ned” was the name she gave the evil spirit she believed had overtaken Charles. Witnesses will testify that Lori claimed Charles was possessed and needed to be “cast out.” That she led a group of women in a spiritual exorcism. That she talked about drugging Charles with JJ's crushed pills. That Alex openly said he wanted Charles dead. One witness, Christina, said Lori brushed off her concerns by saying she was joking. A month later, Charles was dead. Now Lori sits in the courtroom—wearing a navy suit, flipping through notes, calling witnesses, and sparring with the prosecution. When firefighter Cowden testified that no CPR had been given, she pressed him. Asked whether cracking the sternum was guaranteed. Asked about blood patterns. Asked about technique. But Cowden didn't budge. He said everything he saw—everything he didn't see—told him no one had tried to save Charles. Another firefighter, Captain Kent Keller, backed him up. He described the scene as eerily tidy. Charles's body was in the middle of an empty room. No overturned furniture. No signs of chaos. Just a bat, a ball cap, and a dead man on the floor. Keller told the jury it looked like Charles had been dead for some time before they got there. Lividity and modeling had already set in. Blood had pooled beneath him. His pupils were fixed. And the detail that stuck with Keller? That everything about the room—the setup, the silence, the strange calm—just felt off. #LoriVallowDaybell #CharlesVallow #DoomsdayMom #TrueCrimePodcast Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

September 1st 1974. Richard and Belinda Cowden set off with their children for a Labor Day weekend camping trip. By the end of the second day, their campsite lies eerily abandoned.

On the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, 1974, the Cowden family, which consisted of Richard Cowden, 28, Belinda, 22, David, 5, and Melissa, 5 months, made a spontaneous decision to go camping at one of their favorite spots, Carbury Creek, 40 miles to the Southwest from where they lived in White City, Oregon. They packed the truck then stopped off at the General Store in Copper, Oregon to visit Belinda's mother, Ruth Grayson. Ruth offered to have the family over for lunch the next day, Sunday. The family agreed and set off.But when the next night rolled around and Ruth still hadn't heard from her daughter and her family, she made the mile drive to go look for them. What she found was concerning. Melissa's diaper bag and fishing poles were next to some trees. Richard's wallet and watch were on the ground, along with Belinda's cigarettes. And some milk and water had been left out on a picnic table. There was no sign of the Cowden family.A search began that same day and lasted for months. Until finally, half a year later, the family's bodies were discovered near and inside an old mining cave. But who would do such a thing? And what sort of depraved killer would have wanted a young, innocent family dead?Show Notes:https://www.imdb.com/title/tt22138532/https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6372106-but-i-trusted-you-and-other-true-cases

Gardeners—and their parched yards—are looking forward to the rain this weekend. We brought in our resident gardening expert Meg Cowden to share some wisdom, like when to reseed your patchy lawn and how to maximize a small garden space.Cowden is the author of the book “Plant Grow Harvest Repeat " and founder of the website Seed to Fork and the gardening advice group — Modern Garden Guild.

Even though it's only the first week of March, gardeners across the state are seeing plants of all varieties sprouting. Who better to explain this odd gardening season than our resident Minnesota master gardener, Meg Cowden. Cowden talked with Minnesota Now host Cathy Wurzer. The following is a transcription of the audio heard using the player above, lightly edited for clarityFruit tree buds are swelling out there. I mean, that's like two months early. They don't start to swell usually until early April. These kinds of things are out of our control. Perennials are responding to the temperatures that are obviously warmer and the end the daylight. So things are gonna start waking up, but the good thing is that if we moderate a little and don't go totally crazy, these trees might hold steady.They have started responding, but if our temperatures come back even a little bit, they'll hold. My soil is still freezing. I mean, I checked it this morning, and like, my garlic isn't up, although I know it's up in the city for a lot of gardeners. So it partly depends on your site. But yes, we might have no fruit this year, that could be a reality. I thought about that. If we get a really hard freeze in April — fruit trees can take some frost, you'd be surprised like, depending on the stage of the buds to temperatures, even down to 20 isn't going to be 100 percent kill, it might not even be a 50 percent kill. So that's why I'm saying we have to find a way to kind of take each week as it comes and really see how the season unfolds. I don't consider it a wash by any means.What should we do? Are these poor little perennials toasted this point?If temperatures are gonna get really cold, you could cover them. I'm letting things ride. I'm more curious, what's going to happen to them? Might some of them die? I don't think so. And like, even if we had buds that have like, leaved out a little, those buds might die, but the plant is still alive and the plant has resources to push out new leaves. So even if you get a little bit of leaf damage, I mean, we'd have to be going into like the teens or single digits, I think for things that have leaved out already to really have damage that's going to make us all really fret. I tend to think we're going to be okay. I don't think there's going to be a lot more snow because we have all this ground cover and now we've got the sun and the sun's warming the ground, it's the opposite of last winter. Last winter I was not expecting an early spring because of so much snow cover. I think we're hitting that tipping point where it's going to be hard to get snow.The cold hardy crops, could you maybe experiment and take advantage of this early spring?This is an emphatic yes. We have a new cold frame in our garden that my husband built last year and I started sowing things in it about four weeks ago. And you know, the sun doesn't come back until February, so things aren't really growing until later in February. But they germinated in about three weeks, and that was kind of my optimal ideal time I'd like to have seen them germinate. So I've got arugula that has germinated, head lettuce that germinated and radishes that have germinated. Now, you'd want to check your soil temperatures. I'm a big believer in using your soil temperatures. You want your soils about an inch below to be at least 45 degrees, I use a meat thermometer, nothing fancy. Don't buy an extra gadget, you don't need it. But let your soil temperatures be your guide. I also have sowed some onions outside under one of my low tunnels, but I also sowed some just in a garden bed. So I want to see when each of those will germinate. This is a great opportunity. We have an opportunity here to kind of rethink how we're going to garden and I encourage people to reach for spinach, arugula, kohlrabi and cabbages could maybe work and yes, carrots, maybe like a little warmer peas, mustard greens, salad, turnips, radishes — all kinds of great things.Some of those things you don't really see in the grocery store, right? Maybe they don't travel as well or they're as popular. So there's a great opportunity to kind of explore your palate and play with a little patch of earth right now.You wouldn't recommend doing some cleaning early spring cleaning in the garden?I heard a bee, barely saw it. I saw a few insects over the weekend. It's the temperatures, they're coming out of dormancy. I know. it makes me a little worried, like what the heck are they going to eat? I don't know. Even though we're in early spring, I would still wait until sometime in April to do that. I typically don't cut mine down until sometime in May.

In 1974, the Cowden family disappeared on a camping trip in Oregon and eventually their bodies were found. It quickly became evident that they were murder victims. But who killed the Cowden family and why? Despite a strong suspect in the case, it remains unsolved 50 years later. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the Cowden family murders. One man on the mind of authorities as a possible suspect was Dwain Lee Little, an Oregon resident, though he had spent some of those years at the Oregon State Penitentiary. Dide Dwain Little murder the Cowden family or was it someone else? You can help support the show at patreon.com/criminology An Emash Digital production Learn more about your ad choices.

Little Part 2: “She Rode Alone”Last week, I told you the story of the Cowden Family and how Richard, Belinda, David, and Melissa seemed to have vanished while camping near Carberry Creek Road over the Labor Day weekend of 1974. Over 7 months later, their skeletal remains were discovered- Belinda and the children in a cave- Richard, tied to a tree. With very little to go on, police began looking into local men who would have, not only known the area well but could have been capable of such a monstrous act. It was when they read Dwain Lee Little's name on the list of recently paroled prisoners the hair on their neck stood up and they felt they might have found the first person of interest. Today, I'll be telling you about the crimes Dwain committed that landed him in prison, how he came to be released so early, and the harm he was able to commit as a free man. Was he the killer of the Cowden family? Only Dwain and the Cowdens know.For photos and sources for today's episode, check out the Murder in the Rain Episode Blog. Episode Host: Alisha HollandIf you'd like more episodes of Murder in the Rain, Patreon members at the $5/mo+ level, gain access to exclusive episodes, ad-free episodes, bonus content, and more.Follow us on:Instagram https://www.instagram.com/murderintherain/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/mintherain/ Twitter  https://twitter.com/murderintherain TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@em_murderintherain Website https://www.murderintherain.com/ Email murderintherain@gmail.comOur Sponsors:* Check out Factor 75 and use my code rain50 for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/murder-in-the-rain/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
