Transcript:Hello! This is Pastor Don of the Christ Redeemer Church of Hanover, NH. Welcome to a special edition of The Kingdom Perspective. Christ Redeemer has a strategic opportunity before us. We are now the first new church approved for a building in this Ivy League town in over 60 years! This has not come without challenge and difficulty. For over 20 years we sifted through dozens of properties trying to find something suitable for our growing congregation. Every time, we were constrained by something, legal or otherwise. Then God surprised us by giving us a spacious 9-acre parcel of land, strategically located right between the Ivy League institutions of Dartmouth College and Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. Sadly though, our attempt for zoning approval on this property led us into a seven-year legal struggle, but this culminated in a landmark victory at the New Hampshire Supreme Court. The court unanimously affirmed our right to build, giving us the green light to establish a permanent presence for Christ! Now, our pressing need is for construction funds. The seven-year legal delay was, not only expensive, but also burdened us with increased building costs. Therefore, we are seeking partners to help us actualize this dream. Would you join us by supporting this effort and spreading the word about his historic opportunity? Our story is one of God's faithfulness and perseverance, and our future holds untold potential for global influence. Please visit christredeemerchurch.org/flourish. Thanks! And God bless! “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.  “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.  “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.  “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”~Matthew 5:9-16 (ESV)

On this week's episode, we welcome Dr. Kimberley Johnson - a psychologist who works with clients with a range of maternal and reproductive health concerns, including PMADs, perinatal trauma and loss, infertility, and life-impacting gynecological conditions. Her research is primarily centered on childbirth-related pelvic floor injuries and conditions and intersections with mental health. In this episode, we talk about chronic pain and how it intersects with mental health and specifically in this community with perinatal trauma. Your pain is real  and valid and as Dr. Johnson shares, pain being “all in your head” is actually true, but not because you're making it up. Pain originates in our brain, so our key to working with chronic pain might just be there as well. On this episode, you will hear:- intersection of chronic pain and birth trauma- understanding the biopsychosocial model- the impact of birth injuries- Kimberley's personal journey with chronic pain- reframing pain: from danger to sensory experiences- role of fear in pain perception- redefining relationships with pain- role of natural pathways in pain management- building confidence in managing pain- pain reprocessing therapy- interconnectedness of pain and psychological wellbeingYou can find Dr. Kimberley on Instagram at @wildmatrescence or email her at drkimberleyjohnson@gmail.com!Resources:The Pain Reprocessing Therapy WorkbookGuest Bio:Kimberley Johnson completed her doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Utah, predoctoral clinical internship at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, and is now an NIH-funded postdoctoral fellow at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center with complementary research and clinical interests.

Knowing I needed to find a cardiologist in my home community post surgery, left me a little disappointed to leave the confines of Stanford's outstanding care. After two years it seemed a good idea to reach out to see who might be the "lucky" doctor to get a patient like me. I'm pleased to say that the gentleman I was fortunate to be introduced to turned out to be very knowledgable about our condition and we had a very nice first consultation. Meeting Dr. Diwakar Lingam was a breath of fresh air as you're going to hear in this episode. His expertise offered reassurance, reminding me what a crucial role a well-informed cardiologist plays. This episode unfolds my first encounter with Dr. Lingam, a cardiologist who not only understood the complexities of our condition but also embraced the opportunity to share insights with our listeners. With his guidance, we explore what patients should seek in their healthcare providers, especially when navigating the oft-overlooked terrain of myocardial bridges. You'll hear me explain my personal medical narrative, from the initial bewildering diagnosis to the life-changing care I received at Stanford. Myocardial bridges are not just a medical anomaly but involve genetic factors and precise surgical interventions like unroofing surgery, which we dissect in our first discussion. Dr. Lingam understood the value of proper diagnosis, the role of advanced imaging techniques, and the often-missed symptoms that can complicate the path to treatment. This is a call to action for the cardiology community to bolster awareness and refine diagnostic approaches. Not many doctors would feel comfortable with a new patient, walking in with a recording device and asking to record the conversation in that very first meeting. Dr. Lingam was and I applaud him for his acceptance as this very simple gesture alone may allow this episode to be shared with other cardiologists who may not be as astute and aware of the need to treat a diagnosed MB patient differently. You can reach out to Dr. Lingam or share his contact information with a cardiologist you may want to connect with him at Roseville Cardiology Group. BIO Diwakar Lingam, M. D. graduated from Siddhartha Medical College, NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada, India in 1994. He completed his residency at State University of New York (SUNY) Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, NY where he served as a Chief Resident of Internal Medicine. He completed his fellowship in Cardiovascular Disease from Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, New Hampshire. Dr. Lingam strongly believes in solid patient education to improve patient compliance with treatment and better health outcomes. He strives hard to help patients understand clearly the rationale behind all the tests, treatment choices and medications prescribed. He focuses his patient education on lifestyle changes and the value of diet and exercise in the management of many cardiac and medical issues of the patient. Dr. Lingam's clinical interests are preventive cardiology, cardiac imaging, and cardio-oncology. He loves to help patients with cancer treatment-related cardiac issues and patients interested in preventing cardiac and vascular problems. He lives in Folsom with his wife and two children. During his free time, he enjoys biking, playing chess, and spending time with family. (00:11) New Cardiologist Discusses Myocardial Bridges Meeting a new cardiologist after myocardial bridge surgery, discussing the importance of informed and empathetic care in cardiology. (04:51) Myocardial Bridges Myocardial bridges, unroofing surgery, genetic nature, accurate diagnosis, specialized care, radiation exposure, contrast use, diabetic patients, continued research. (17:30) Follow-Up Consultation on Treatment Plan Specialized centers, robotic surgery, statins, and follow-up care are important in treating cardiac conditions.

In this special episode, RAPM Focus takes a break from its usual format of discussing specific research projects to discuss instead how research in health care is increasingly vital yet often hindered by escalating costs and time constraints. Editor-in-Chief Brian Sites, MD, discusses these challenges with Alexander (Xan) Abess, MD, and Jonathan Weed, MD. Traditional, large scale, randomized controlled trials are resource intensive, making them challenging for clinicians to conduct. As a result, innovative approaches to engage in knowledge acquisition are becoming paramount. Creating a scholastic environment within the anesthesia department not only fosters a culture of continuous learning, but also becomes essential for attracting and retaining talent. Dr. Abess is an anesthesiologist at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and assistant professor of anesthesiology and perioperative medicine at Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth. He has previously served as the vice chair of quality and safety, department of anesthesiology and perioperative medicine, and is actively involved with the Multi-Center Perioperative Outcomes Group (MPOG). He is the founder and Director of IDEA Lab (Innovation, Development, and Entrepreneurship in Anesthesiology). Xan has a wide range of clinical experience (private practice, academic medicine, military medicine) and medical device development experience, having previously started his own medical device company. He understands well the challenges of medical innovation and truly enjoys helping others achieve their development goals while also attempting to improve the quality of health care delivery and simultaneously addressing our broader economic and workforce challenges. Dr. Weed is a clinical assistant professor of anesthesiology at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. He is a graduate of Tulane Medical School and completed his anesthesiology residency at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, followed by a fellowship at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in regional anesthesia. He spent several years as a residency program director at Tulane Medical Center before returning to Tulane Medical Center in 2021. His most recent interests relate to the use of the electronic health record to improve clinical workflow in research within the department. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

"The intersection of medicine, business and courageous creativity is where I've spent most of my career" Wendy Dean MD     In S5 E9 I am delighted to introduce another "heavy hitter" in healthcare thought leadership and transformational practice, Wendy Dean MD, president and co-founder of Moral Injury of Healthcare. Dr Dean is an alum of Smith College and the University of Massachusetts Medical School. She trained in surgery and psychiatry at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center. After practicing for a decade, Wendy worked for the US Army, where she managed regenerative medicine research funding and guided strategy for a $70M investment in the emerging field of hand and face transplants. In that position, and as a senior executive at a large nonprofit in Washington, D.C., she worked closely with both the civilian and military medical communities, and many government agencies--BARDA, NIH, WHOSTP, NASA, DARPA--to develop novel strategies to restore form, function and appearance to ill and injured service members. She remains part of those communities as a board member and prize judge.          In describing her mission she says,"My focus now is on finding innovative ways to make medicine better for both patients and physicians through my own non-profit and by helping new talent and new ventures realize their big ideas."               Farming, fencing, photography, and riding big, opinionated horses keeps me focused outside of work.               In this conversation Wendy discusses the concept and definition of moral injury in medicine, how it is distinct but can co-exist with burnout, the implication of this for medical systems and organisations and the evolution of her own thinking and practice in this area since the publication of the OpEd she co-authored in 2018 "Clinicians aren't burning out they are suffering from moral injury". We discuss her book "If I Betray these Words" from idea to fruition and the challenges and opportunities of elevating clinical voices through story. The major part of this conversation is directed towards transformational leadership and practice in the modern day "business" of healthcare. Who is doing it well and what is working well? Wendy's commitment to mission and purpose and willingness to challenge her own and our collective thinking and practice permeates this entire episode. Thank you for energising me and for all the work that you do to move us forward towards a brighter future for healthcare.

BUFFALO, NY- August 14, 2024 – A new #editorial was #published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science), Volume 16, Issue 14 on July 17, 2024, entitled, “Recalibrate concepts of epigenetic aging clocks in human health.” As detailed in the opening of this editorial, DNA methylation-based epigenetic clocks are used as biomarkers of biological age in human health. Multiple epigenetic clocks have rapidly emerged in the past decade by modeling DNA methylation changes with age in large cohorts, primarily using peripheral blood samples. Despite efforts to understand the functional implications of features used to estimate biological age, the underlying mechanisms of these clocks remain poorly understood, leading to potential misinterpretations of their associations with health outcomes. Researchers Ze Zhang, Brock C. Christensen, and Lucas A. Salas from the Divisions of Population Sciences and Medical Oncology, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, the Department of Epidemiology, Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth College, Dartmouth Cancer Center, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, and the Department of Molecular and Systems Biology, Geisel School of Medicine, Dartmouth College explored the association of 12 immune cell types with epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) in both healthy and diseased populations. Their work sheds light on the complex interplay between immune cell composition and epigenetic aging, utilizing high-resolution methylation cytometry in blood samples. “In this editorial, we aim to address the key implications of our study on epigenetic aging clocks in human health from a broader perspective. While epigenetic clocks are widely hyped as aging biomarkers today, it's essential to recalibrate some fundamental concepts in this field.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.206027 Corresponding author - Lucas A.

The journal aims to promote 1) treatment of age-related diseases by slowing down aging, 2) validation of anti-aging drugs by treating age-related diseases, and 3) prevention of cancer by inhibiting aging.

She also found that she loved teaching, and today is a professor of medicine and a professor of medical education as well as co-director of On Doctoring at Dartmouth Geisel, Vice Chair of Clinical Affairs at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, . Aand most importantly for our conversation today, aAssociate dDean of aAdmissions at Geisel.  Dr. Pinto-Powell, welcome to Admissions Straight Talk. [2:08] Thank you. Can you give us an overview of the MD program at Geisel, focusing on its more distinctive elements? [2:17] I think one of the things I'd start off by saying is that Geisel is a small school, relatively. We have 92 students, 90 MD students, two MD/ PhD students, and this is the largest we've ever been. We were a much smaller school, 65 students, until fairly recently, about a decade and a half to two decades ago, and then have grown to 92. I mentioned that because I think that's one of its distinctive elements. It's small enough that in some ways, I would say, we are the “Cheers” of schools where everybody knows your name and everybody's glad you came. And if you ask any of our students or staff or administrators, what is their favorite thing, they will say the sense of community, the sense of feeling like people know you. Our students don't graduate without personally knowing more than 10-15 faculty, have been to their homes, watched their dogs or animals and things like that. I think that makes it just a wonderful place to learn to be a doctor. Sounds like a very close-knit community. [3:35] I believe so. On the website, it mentioned several times that the medical school has a real determination to graduate what they called “the complete physician.” What does that mean, “the complete physician,” and does it tie into the community that you were just talking about? [3:41] It does. It absolutely does. I'm really glad you asked the question because that is our tagline. My silly joke usually is, well, I don't know any medical school in this country or any other that's trying to graduate the incomplete physician. What we mean at Geisel when we talk about the complete physician is somebody who's totally grounded in the foundational science. I think that first point is really relevant and important today. I think we all know that most medical schools have a pass/fail pre-clinical curriculum to stimulate collegi...

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Dr. Lauren Prescott to discuss the impact of transfusions on outcomes in ovarian cancer. Dr. Prescott received her undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and went on study at the National Institutes of Health for two years. She then completed medical school at Georgetown University, residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, and fellowship in Gynecologic Oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center. She has been at Vanderbilt University since 2017. Dr. Prescott's research interests include measuring and evaluating surgical and oncologic outcomes and improving the quality of health care delivery through implementation of evidence-based medicine. Dr. Prescott leads the Vanderbilt Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Program for patients undergoing gynecologic surgery. Highlights: - Perioperative blood transfusions in ovarian cancer is common with 53% of patients in our study having received a transfusion - Blood transfusions were not associated with negative impact on progression-free survival or overall survival - However, blood transfusions were associated with increased peri-operative morbidity without improvements in quality of life

Key highlights: The art and science of personalized cancer treatment. What are tumor boards, how do they work, and why are they important for cancer treatment decision-making? Team-based oncology care delivery, understanding patient preferences, and providing appropriate care. The business of oncology and how reimbursement influences patient care decisions. About our guest:  Dr. Gabriel A. Brooks is an oncologist in Lebanon, New Hampshire and is affiliated with multiple hospitals in the area, including Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center and White River Junction Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He received his medical degree from Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and has been in practice for 11-20 years. Key Moments: At 16 mins and 0 seconds: About team-based care in cancer. “Nothing I do for my patients happens in a vaccum. There are questions about radiation, radiology or pathology…the cases we bring to tumor board are the cases where we have questions. It maybe for a patient with a new diagnosis or a patient I've had for years and the situation has changed and there is a new question. I could send the patient to another specialist but it's not the same as four specialists in one room looking at a single case.” At 30 mins and 05 seconds: Tumor board vis-a-vis guidelines. “The NCCN guidelines are very influential documents that say what the evidence is in that cancer type. They are not proscriptive. There are lots of areas that are highly subjective in patient care. It's also true that they are a US organization and refer to drugs available in the US. Tumor board addresses the issues where guidelines are not detailed enough, or where more subjective discrimination is required.” At 32 mins and 50 seconds: Guidelines drive most situations. “95% of the time, or rather 99% of the time…most of the things that I do are consistent with the NCCN guidelines. Once is a while there is situations where the guidelines don't apply.” At 39 mins and 12 seconds: Decision making in cancer. “The idea that you can make this decision today that is going to specify every step along the way for the rest of the year for most of our patients is not realistic.” At 41 mins and 13 seconds: Honesty in difficult conversations. “I think it is very important for me to be truthful to my patients and tell them that my goal is to help you live longer and help you, but maybe not to cure you. …It's not my job to tell my patients what the future holds, because we really don't know.” 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.

Chris Maggiolo is Deputy Executive Director of the Black River Innovation Campus(BRIC) We spoke with Chris this spring. We first met Chris and Executive Director Trevor Barlow during an event at the BRIC Campus in November of 2021.  Host Scott M. Graves was most impressed with the live/work amenities being developed in the idyllic Vermont community of Springfield, a town along the banks of the Connecticut River opposite New Hampshire. Don't let the rural visage fool you: Springfield was strategically selected because of its proximity to a broadband hub, a project of the Vermont Telephone Co. and Center for Rural Development.  It is also strategically located close by Dartmouth College and the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center.  Springfield was a center of innovation in the 19th and early 20th century.  A place where the design and manufacture of precision machining kept much of the United States' cogs churning.  BRIC is sure to lead the way in helping Springfield and its region into a 21st century resurgence.  A resurgence more strategic, more diverse and more resilient. Chris's rich background lead to some interesting pathways in our discussion.  In addition to his perspective on innovation we also spoke of the importance that cultural phenomena play in building a successful sense of place and of worth. Find out more about Chris and BRIC staff We hope you come away with concrete ideas you can bring to your own incubator or accelerator projects.  Enjoy!

For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/hilary-crowley   Highlights from today's episode include: Hilary Crowley 10:56 To be honest, and to show honesty, and honesty beyond the point where you're trying to make yourself sound smarter than you are or more knowledgeable or you want to hold the authority in the room. Well, when you're on is sometimes you have to say beautiful things like "I don't know". Groundbreaking words, like" let's look into it."  Hilary Crowley 15:29 As I'm listening to clarity, boundaries, balance, it certainly keeps all of the noise of what is my relationship to you. Are you approving of me? Are you all the ego stuff? It's like, well, it doesn't really matter, if you approve of me, or I know where I stand with you unconditionally. It also carries forth with integrity. Afterwards, that integrity would be another word because I'm an energy worker. Hilary Crowley But intuition for me is the body is always healing itself. And sometimes it needs help because sometimes we don't have to do it alone. So, intuition is in me listening inward to the inner intelligence of the person who's decided to share this in the room with me   About Hilary Crowley Hilary Crowley is the author of The Power of Energy Medicine: Your Natural Prescription for Resilient Health; Skyhorse/Simon & Schuster 2021. She discovered her interest in the healing arts as the grandchild of three doctors.

Core purpose/passion : To continue doing what I'm doing. To get the message to the healthcare world, that if we can take back the instinctive connection between patient and health provider, that energy of care, sharing, and the love of the healing arts, this would revolutionize the conversation around how we heal and how the healthcare system can restore the heart and soul of itself.  Website | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter  | LinkedIn  |   About Dr. M (Manon Bolliger), ND: Dr. Manon is a Naturopathic Doctor, the Founder of Bowen College, an International Speaker, she did a TEDx talk "Your Body is Smarter Than You Think.

Hazard [11:55] Episode #97“I just think true reform of the national healthcare system should involve education, research, and practice. Not just, you know, with your taxes, you're going to pay for your gall bladder operation. It's more complicated than that. ” – Rowland G. Hazard [23:01] Episode #97“I was hit over the head by how ignorant I was about how to take care of people who had back pain. So for almost a year, I dedicated Thursday nights. I stayed up every Thursday night, reading everything I could get my hands on about back pain.” – Rowland G. Hazard [24:00] Episode #97“There's a huge variety of treatments out there for back pain. There are many belief systems underneath those that pass as science, but the science is actually pretty thin.” – Rowland G. Hazard [27:06] Episode #97“If I go back to doing all the things I did before, there is a fear of getting much worse. The pain itself is not terrible, it's manageable. Just you sharing that actually is good to know. It at least helps me process it in my head and recognize what choice is happening implicitly” Syd Finkelstein– [37:20] Episode #97“You gotta have passion, and you have to work hard. You can be fearless, but if you can't listen, you can drive really hard down the wrong road quickly.” – Rowland G. Hazard [46:25] Episode #97“In my own practice, I rarely talked to people about opioids, even though I was seeing ‘the worst of the worst of the chronic pain patients'.” – Rowland G. Hazard [59:48] Episode #97“90% of people who have an acute episode of back pain get better, almost no matter what you do.” – Rowland G.
