When Dr. Jadah Johnson first met Nora Scott, she thought she was going to die. The woman from High River, Alberta was a patient at the psychiatric unit where the young psychiatrist worked. Four years earlier, Nora had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She recovered, but had now relapsed. Her family described all the expected symptoms: depression, mania, psychosis. But the diagnosis didn't sit right with Dr. Johnson because Nora had other non-psychiatric symptoms too. The psychiatrist believed Nora had a rare autoimmune condition attacking her brain that was mimicking a mental disorder. Dr. Johnson's colleagues told her repeatedly that she was wrong, but she wouldn't let it go. In the end, she was right. In this documentary, CBC producer John Chipman visits an Alberta family whose life was turned upside down by a rare medical condition that's challenging psychiatrists the world over.
For this bonus episode, we invite the orderers to hear a lightly-edited recording of Jason Pack appearing on our sister pod, KeenOn America, where Andrew and Jason discuss Jason's belief that there was a genuine cover-up by Anglo-American media and the US and UK governments of the Jeffrey Epstein case—not orchestrated by the CIA, but by prosecutors who didn't want to go after powerful people, journalists who didn't want to go against an oligarch who could sue them for libel, and a system where orders of magnitudes too much wealth has accrued to too narrow a sliver of global elites. So despite being anti-conspiratorial, Jason concludes that the cover up and the conspiracy were real.

What if speech challenges, jaw pain, mouth breathing, or even poor sleep weren't just isolated issues — but nervous system signals? In this week's episode, I sit down with Denise Lowe, Speech Language Pathologist, to explore the powerful connection between oral function, nervous system regulation, and whole-body health. We unpack: • What myofunctional therapy actually is • Why tongue posture, swallowing patterns, and breathing matter more than you think • The hidden signs parents often miss in their children • How jaw tension, clenching, and grinding connect to stress physiology • What Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) is — and how it helps regulate subconscious stress patterns • Why addressing both structure and nervous system function changes outcomes This conversation goes far beyond articulation. We talk about sleep quality, TMD, chronic tension, airway development, communication struggles, and the emotional patterns that can quietly drive physical symptoms. If you or your child experience mouth breathing, speech delays, clenching, jaw pain, chronic tension, or sleep disruption — this episode will open your eyes to a deeper root-cause lens. Because healing isn't just mechanical. It's neurological. It's emotional. And it's functional. Podcast Offer Denise is offering a $99 initial Neuro Emotional Technique session when you mention this podcast. Offer valid through March 28th, 2026. If you have been curious about nervous system work but didn't know where to begin — this is a beautiful entry point. March 23: 10-Day Blood Sugar Reset And if this episode sparked curiosity about the nervous system's role in metabolism, inflammation, or stress — my 10-Day Blood Sugar Reset kicks off March 23rd.

This episode features a powerful conversation with neurosurgeon Dr. Lee Warren about trauma, faith, and the science of hope. Drawing from his experience serving in Iraq, battling PTSD, and losing his teenage son, Dr. Warren shares how we can't always control what happens to us—but we can influence how we experience it. Through the lens of his book, The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery, he explains the neuroscience of neuroplasticity and how changing our thoughts can literally reshape our brains. Together, they explore how parents can help kids build agency, resilience, and real capability by teaching them to challenge their thoughts, pause before reacting, and grow stronger through hardship.

For much of the time Mark Brown lived with BDD, he looked as if he was functioning from the outside. But inside he was living under what he calls "a dome of shame and disgust". Now, after lots of hard work and therapy, he says he's much more present in his life and his old life with BDD feels like a distant memory.
"They are fundamentally bound at the hip, because the Trump age is a conspiratorial age and a backlash against global wealth inequality... Epstein facilitated the rise of Trump." — Jason PackLate last year, Disorder podcast host Jason Pack came on the show and predicted that Mark Carney would be the "orderer" of 2025 and Jeffrey Epstein would be 2026's "disorderer-in-chief". Pack was uncannily right. Although, as he admits, such prescience gives him no pleasure.Pack is no conspiracist. He thought QAnon was a hoax; he saw the antisemitism baked into its bizarre theories. But he's come to believe there was a genuine cover-up of the Jeffrey Epstein case—not orchestrated by the CIA, but by prosecutors who didn't want to go after powerful people, journalists comfortably ensconced in Epstein's world, and a system where too much wealth has accrued to too narrow a sliver of global elites.What haunts him most is what the emails reveal about how the world actually works. Favors exchanged for favors in a network of infinite back-scratching. Noam Chomsky (!) and Leon Black busy trading intros for access to Epstein's underworld. The emails reveal completely amoral elites, Pack says, nihilists without even the pretense of moral scruples.Trump and Epstein, Pack argues, are bound at the hip—not because Trump is guilty of Epstein's crimes, but because both are products of the same angry backlash against global wealth inequality and the collapse of institutional trust. Trump is, in Pack's memorable phrase, "a legal Epstein"—someone who gets things done through connections, who can appear the most elite Wall Street type to bankers and the most common man to coal miners. The evil genius of doppelgängerism. For Pack, the Epstein files may be a tremor before the big one—AI or crypto could bring the real 1789 style earthquake—but they've already destroyed something of priceless value: the illusion that elites are working on the behalf of the people. Five Takeaways● The Cover-Up Wasn't a Conspiracy—It Was the System: Cases sat on prosecutors' desks in Florida in 2003 and weren't filed. Journalists were tipped off in the early 2000s and didn't run with it. Pack isn't alleging CIA orchestration—just that too much wealth and power had accrued to too narrow a tranche of global elites, and they were able to cow journalists and prosecutors into silence.● Trump and Epstein Are Bound at the Hip: Both are products of the same backlash against global wealth inequality and the collapse of trust since the end of the Cold War. The irony: Trump is himself a member of the elite who benefited from these networks, but his political appeal lies in his promise to dismantle them.● "Order" vs. the Law of the Jungle: The world Epstein built wasn't ordered in any traditional sense—it was the logic of the jungle, based on blackmail and compromat. Russian intelligence running a financial sex trafficking influence scheme at the heart of the Anglo-American establishment. When they needed a service, they got the service.● The Collapse of Social Trust: Pack contrasts our "low-trust" Anglo-American society with Scandinavian models where people still believe institutions work on their behalf. The Epstein files reveal completely amoral elites who believed in nothing—no religion, no moral code—and had no compunction about harming young women or stealing pensioners' money.● A Tremor Before the Big One: Epstein won't bring down neoliberal capitalism. But AI making five families wealthier than the rest of the world combined could. Or crypto going to zero and 300,000 people realizing their life savings are gone. The true significance of the Epstein files is that they've stripped away the illusion that the system works on our behalf.

This week I'm bringing back an important conversation from the archives. Dr. Valerie discovered Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD) and created the only science-backed system for helping women achieve their ultimate success, happiness, and fulfillment by healing the collective, inherited trauma of oppression. She is also the author of Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women's Happiness and Fulfillment. I met Dr. Valerie at an event late last year. I serendipitously sat at her table and as she was talking about her work and her book, I was enamored. In fact, I invited her onto the podcast on the spot. Her work is important, interesting, and backed by science. When it comes to the patriarchy, as women, there is a deeper issue going on then the blame game. We are not going to heal by pointing fingers. My conversation with Dr. Valerie is just one step of many that will help move women towards healing from the patriarchy. In this episode you'll hear: How Dr. Valerie discovered PSD and how her search began with asking the question, “What is wrong with me?” Oppression is traumatic and it is deep in our DNA Patriarchy does not equal men and men do not equal patriarchy, patriarchy is a system that has been oppressive and disempowering to women PSD is the invisible inner barrier to women's happiness and fulfillment and trauma defenses: mind, body, and action Some of the symptoms or circumstances of PSD (and yes, we all have it) Dr. Valerie's message to men and how to bring them into the conversation and still take care of ourselves Resources mentioned in this episode: Devotion program Andrea's Substack, How Very Human of You Sign up for my emails Instagram reel about men and shame Dr. Valerie Rein's websiteDr. Valerie's 3 Minute Re-Power ToolDr. Valerie on InstagramBook: Patriarchy Stress Disorder: The Invisible Inner Barrier to Women's Happiness and Fulfillment Dr. Valerie Rein has discovered Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD) and created the only science-backed system for helping women achieve their ultimate success, happiness, and fulfillment by healing the collective, inherited trauma of oppression.

Midlife is being redefined at a moment when women are questioning outdated narratives around aging, productivity, and worth. As healthcare gaps widen and cultural messaging pushes anti-aging at all costs, many women are left wondering whether what they're experiencing is a breakdown or a breakthrough. In this episode, Kara Duffy sits down with Dr. Heidi Lescanec, Naturopathic Doctor and creator of the Pink Zones, to explore why menopause is not a crisis, but a recalibration - biologically, emotionally, and culturally. Heidi shares insights from her 20+ years in women's hormone health and her global research into communities where women thrive as they age with vitality and reverence. Together, they unpack the nervous system's role in longevity, the rewiring of the female brain during perimenopause, the research gaps in women's healthcare, and why middle-aged women are emerging as a powerful cultural and political force. This conversation examines what it means to move beyond symptom management, reclaim creative vitality, and redesign systems that honor women at every stage of life, not just their youth. The Powerful Ladies podcast, hosted by business coach and strategist Kara Duffy features candid conversations with entrepreneurs, creatives, athletes, chefs, writers, scientists, and more. Every Wednesday, new episodes explore what it means to lead with purpose, create with intention, and define success on your own terms.

Neurologic complications of hematologic disorders are frequently encountered in clinical practice and can involve both the central and peripheral nervous systems. Early recognition and appropriate management in collaboration with a hematologist are essential to reduce morbidity and mortality. In this episode, Kait Nevel, MD, speaks with Lauren Patrick, MD, and Mark Terrelonge, MD, MPH, authors of the article "Neurologic Complications of Hematologic Disorders" in the Continuum® February 2026 Neurology of Systemic Disease issue. Dr. Nevel is a Continuum® Audio interviewer and a neurologist and neuro-oncologist at Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, Indiana. Dr. Patrick is an assistant professor of neurology at the University of California, San Francisco, in San Francisco, California. Dr. Terrelonge is an associate professor of neurology at the University of California, San Francisco, in San Francisco, California.

These are terms often used by patients and caregivers to describe some of the hematologic disorders that can lead to neurological diseases such as stroke. So, when should we consider a hematologic disorder as a potential cause for neurological conditions, such as stroke or neuropathy. Today I have the opportunity to interview Drs Lauren Patrick and Mark Terrelonge to learn more about neurologic complications of hematologic disorders in their recent article in Continuum. Dr Jones: This is Dr Lyell Jones, editor-in-chief of Continuum. Thank you for listening to Continuum Audio. Be sure to visit the links in the episode notes for information about earning CME, subscribing to the journal, and exclusive access to interviews not featured on the podcast. Dr Nevel: Hello, this is Dr Kate Nevel. Today I'm interviewing Drs Lauren Patrick and Mark Terrelonge about their article on neurologic complications of hematologic disorders. This article appears in the February 2026 Continuum issue on neurology of systemic disease. Welcome to the podcast, and please introduce yourself to the audience. Dr Patrick: Thank you for having us. We're both thrilled to be here. I'm Lauren Patrick, a vascular neurologist and assistant professor at the University of California, San Francisco, and program director for the Vascular Neurology Fellowship here. Dr Terrelonge: And I'm Mark Terrelonge, I'm an associate professor of neurology and neuromuscular medicine here at UCSF and one of the associate program directors for the adult neurology residency. Nice to meet you. Dr Nevel: Nice to meet you both. Really looking forward to getting into your article and learning more. So, to kind of kick us off, I always like to ask what do you think is the most important takeaway from your article for the practicing neurologist? And maybe since there are two of you and I suspect you covered slightly different aspects of this article, maybe you could give us two most important takeaways. Dr Patrick: Sure. I think the biggest takeaway is to keep hematologic disorders on the differential when evaluating patients with neurologic symptoms. Conditions like sickle cell disease, myeloproliferative neoplasms, or plasma cell dyscrasias and paraproteinemia can cause strokes or peripheral neuropathies, and many have specific and targetable treatments. The early recognition and collaboration with our hematology colleagues can truly change patient outcomes, whether that's by initiating cytoreductive therapy, managing thrombocytopenia, or optimizing antithrombotic therapy. Dr Nevel: Great. So, this is a really big and diverse topic. As always, I'm going to urge our listeners to read the article because there is a lot of really good stuff in your article that we just don't have time to get into during this interview today. But you cover a lot of different hematological disorders and how they can cause neurological complications. One of the major neurological complications of hematological disorders is cerebral vascular events. So, I'm hoping, Warren, that you can walk us through a little bit. When should we consider workup of potential hematologic disorder as a cause when we see a patient with ischemic stroke, because certainly not all patients with ischemic stroke should be getting a broad hematological disorder work up. So how can we kind of identify early on that there might be something else at play? Dr Patrick: Absolutely, great question. So, in many cases, the underlying hematologic disorder is already known, such as sickle cell disease or polycythemia vera. But sometimes stroke is the initial presentation or manifestation of the disease. So red flags can include young age, recurrent cryptogenic strokes or thrombosis, and unusual locations like the cerebral venous system. Laboratory clues such as unexplained erythrocytosis, thrombocytosis, thrombocytopenia, or hemolytic anemia should raise suspicion for an occult hematologic disorder. In the setting of acute illness, immune-mediated or heparin-induced thrombocytopenia or thrombotic microangiopathies should be suspected in patients that have hemorrhagic and or thrombotic complications, particularly when relevant lab disturbances are present. Acquired thrombophilia such as anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome should be considered in young patients with autoimmune disease, prior venous or arterial thrombotic complications, or pregnancy morbidity. Now, these are rare causes overall, but they're important to catch because the management can differ dramatically from our typical stroke care. Dr Nevel: Great. And what are some of the most common inherited or acquired thrombophilias and when should we be sending these labs? Dr Patrick: The hematologic causes really account for small minority of arterial strokes approximately one to two percent, but among those, sickle cell disease, anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome and the myeloproliferative neoplasms are the most common. Timing of testing is key. So, the genetic thrombophilia panels can be drawn at presentation, but lab values such as protein C, protein S, and antithrombin levels may be falsely low during acute thrombosis, so they're often repeated weeks later. Similarly, for anti-phospholipid antibody testing that should be done at presentation and when positive, confirmed at twelve weeks, since transient positivity can occur with affections or acute events. So, in patients that are already anticoagulated for anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome, testing becomes particularly tricky, especially with lupus anticoagulant assays. Some results need to be interpreted carefully or repeated when feasible. The main message is to collaborate early with our hematology colleagues to guide the timing and interpretation of these studies. Dr Nevel: Yeah, wonderful. Thank you. I'll ask some similar questions about neuropathy. So when should we consider an underlying hematologic disorder as being the cause for someone's neuropathy? Dr Terrelonge: So, luckily for a neurologist, then serum protein electrophoresis or an SPEP is already a part of the first pass evaluation for even the most common neuropathies we see, technically already considered every time we do an evaluation. However, we do know that most neuropathies progress very slowly and don't really lead to significant limitations in patient activities of daily living. And for those, the initial workup step, you may not need to do any additional search for any hematologic diseases after that first step. Within patients who start to have more unusual features with their neuropathy, including a rapid progression, early proximal weakness, significant and extremely painful neuropathies, significant ataxia, or new tremor or anything that's kind of outside of the garden variety neuropathy, then you should start to think about a hematologic cause. Additionally, if a patient already has a known hematologic malignancy or process before their neuropathy, there should be some form of assessment to see through exam or electrodiagnostically if the two are correlated. I do have to add one caveat, though, and that's just because someone has a hematologic malignancy or a paraprotein seen in their blood, their neuropathy and the neurologic syndrome don't necessarily have to be causally related. So, we have to do some additional testing to determine if the patient's presentation of the paraprotein are actually linked. Dr Nevel: Can you walk us through a little bit how we determine if they're associated or just coincidental? Dr Terrelonge: Yeah. So, for some of the proteins, there's a specific phenotype that will come with the specific protein. For example, an anti MAG proteinopathies or MAG standing for a myelin associated glycoprotein, it usually leads to a distal sensor and motor polyneuropathy where the most distal portions of nerves are affected. So, in that case, people might notice that they have numbness and weakness in their toes and their fingers, and it doesn't follow that typical length dependent pattern. So, in that case, if you have the anti mag neuropathy and the electrodiagnostic signature of an anti mag neuropathy along with the symptoms, you're more likely to think that the two are related then if not. Dr Nevel: Great. Thank you. And I was hoping you could speak a little bit more about amyloidosis just because I think that that's one that can be really tricky to diagnose. And I see patients, you know, have sometimes more drawn out evaluations or see multiple providers before a diagnosis is reached. So, can you speak a little bit more to how we diagnose amyloidosis in relationship to neuropathy or other neurological conditions and when we should push for more invasive testing like a nerve biopsy? Dr Terrelonge: So, amyloidosis certainly is a tricky diagnosis. I've been tricked by it and I think most of my neuromuscular colleagues have probably been tricked by it at least once. It's a hard diagnosis to make is it usually requires a pretty high index of suspicion, and also requires a tissue diagnosis to cinch. There're some patients who will come in with a prior history of amyloidosis and they're a little bit easier to figure out if the neuropathy is related. Maybe it's started in their heart or their kidney first and then you can just see if the type of amyloid they have usually deposits in nerve, and that may be enough. But if there's any diagnostic uncertainty, you could go forward with tissue biopsy. But it's patients in which the neuropathy is the first symptom that amyloidosis can be especially tricky to diagnose. It's a primarily light chain disease. So, if you do only an SPEP as a part of your initial neuropathy evaluation, you could miss it. But usually, the patients will have either a severely painful neuropathy, early autonomic dysfunction, or really prominent bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome. So, if they have any of those, usually we'll add in an amyloid workup as a part of that of the rest of the workup, which would include both light chain evaluations to see if there's any increase in Lambda or Kappa light chains and then also biopsy. Biopsy can be of the skin or fat pad first, which have reasonable sensitivity for picking up disease, but they're not necessarily a hundred percent. So if the suspicion remains high in those cases, a nerve biopsy should be considered. And the reason why this is important is that the chemotherapeutic agents that we have now can actually help arrest a lot of these diseases and stop further organ involvement. So, if you think about it, it is important to keep pushing and looking until you find it. Dr Nevel: Thank you so much for that. And a follow up question to that, once patients are started on appropriate therapy, the diagnosis is made, chemotherapy is started, what's the typical clinical course that you see in terms of their neuropathy? Do you ever see improvement or is it arrest of worsening? Dr Terrelonge: Usually for amyloid, there is an arrest of disease, but in some patients, they could have some improvement, not necessarily a dramatic improvement, but some patients could see some reversal of symptoms. That may not necessarily be because nerves injured nerves are regrowing, but because of reorganization of nerves to muscle, they could have some strength increases or at least less pain. Dr Nevel: Yeah, thank you. So, when should we involve a hematologist in aiding in the evaluation of patients we suspect may have an underlying hematological disorder? You guys really outlined very nicely in your article some of the laboratory workup or other workup like you just talked about with amyloidosis. But at what point in that workup should we reach out to our hematology colleagues? Dr Patrick: I would say almost always. So, these disorders are inherently multi-system and benefit from early co-management. In acute sickle cell stroke, for example, hematology helps direct emergent exchange transfusion. For myeloproliferative disorders they guide cyto reduction and long term antithrombotic strategy. And for antibody mediated or plasma cell disorders, hematology determines disease specific therapies. So, neurology may help with identifying the presentation, but the definitive management is almost always shared with our hematology colleagues. Dr Nevel: And as you both have mentioned that a lot of times in these cases, their hematologic disorder may be already known before they present with their neurological symptoms. So, I imagine obviously in those cases that a hematologist hopefully is already heavily involved in their care. What do you think is the most difficult aspect of identifying and diagnosing patients with neurologic illness as having an underlying hematological disorder? Dr Patrick: The hardest part is maintaining a high index of suspicion, especially since hematologic causes account for a very small minority of arterial strokes. Most strokes are from traditional vascular risk factors like you mentioned, or cardio embolism, so it's easy to stop diagnostic evaluation after standard studies have been performed. An example of a challenging case is a patient that's young, they've had recurrent cryptogenic stroke, and they could have antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, but it can be easy to miss if their antibody titers are borderline or if they're already anticoagulated, which would complicate retesting. So, it's about balancing the urge to over-test with recognizing the few cases where identifying A hematologic cause truly changes that management. Dr Terrelonge: And then on the neuropathy side, probably the hardest part is deciding what's causal and what's coincidence. Monoclonal gammopathy of unknown significance, or MGUS, is really common in older adults, so not every M-spike on an SPEP explains a neuropathy. And even sometimes there's times when the neurologic picture will develop a little bit faster than the hematologic one. So, it's hard to put the two together. Dr Nevel: Yeah. What's the most rewarding aspect of taking care of patients with complications from their hematologic disorders? Dr Patrick: It's deeply rewarding when a targeted diagnosis leads to a tangible improvement in that patient's care. For example, identifying A cryptogenic stroke is being due to myeloproliferative neoplasm or an inherited thrombophilia allows us to move from empiric treatment to possible disease specific strategy. It's really gratifying to give patients that clarity, to give them a diagnosis and in some cases prevent future events. Dr Terrelonge: Agreed. And even on the neuropathy side, almost all of the neuropathies that are hematologically related are treatable. So, it's so satisfying whenever you have a patient with say an anti-MAG neuropathy or Waldenström can start the patient on therapy, and you can see someone who's been having a progressive decline to stability and in those cases sometimes even significant recovery. Dr Nevel: Yeah, absolutely. Very rewarding when you can identify the problem and make it better. That's what it's all about. So, what are the future areas of research in this area? What do we still need to learn? Dr Patrick: There's still a lot to learn. I think we need better data on the safety of acute reperfusion therapy and antithrombotic agents, particularly in patients that are at dual risk for bleeding and thrombosis. Other examples, secondary prevention strategies and anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome. What's the best target INR? Do you add aspirin to warfarin or not? All of that is often left up to expert opinion. What's the best management for adults with sickle cell stroke? There are many open questions there. A lot of the protocols that we have in place for sickle cell patients that are adults as derived from pediatric literature and there's vast potential in terms of disease modifying therapies, especially in the fields of sickle cell disease and amyloidosis. And we'll need to reassess how those treatments may change neurologic outcomes. Dr Terrelonge: I think on the neuropathy side that having some form of new biomarkers to help us clearly know of the neuropathy and that hematologic illness are associated would be very helpful. On the treatment side, a lot of this is really being driven by the hematology space, but new therapies that treat hematologic plasma cell disorders, including some of the new BTK inhibitor, may be incorporated relatively soon into the algorithm for how we treat many of our patients. I'm excited to see what's to come from this. Dr Nevel: Wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us today. I know I've certainly learned a lot by reading your article and through our discussion today. Highly encourage our listeners to read your wonderful article, which is a very thorough review of hematologic disorders and neurological complications. Again, today I've been interviewing Dr Lauren Patrick and Dr Mark Terrelonge on their article Neurologic Complications of Hematologic Disorders, which appears in the February 2026 Continuum issue on Neurology of Systemic Disease. Please be sure to check out Continuum Audio episodes from this and other issues. And as always, thank you so much to our listeners for joining today, and thank you so much to Lauren and Mark. Dr Terrelonge: Yeah, thank you so much for having us. Dr Patrick: Thank you so much for having us and for highlighting this topic. We hope the issue encourages clinicians to think broadly about hematologic causes of neurologic disease and to continue collaborating closely with our hematology colleagues. It's a complex but very fascinating intersection for both of our fields. Dr Monteith: This is Dr Teshamae Monteith, associate editor of Continuum Audio.

Here at Disorder, we love solutions, so much so that we're going to be putting even more solutions into our episodes, by trying to zoom out from developments in the news to potential solutions. This week we start our treatment of news items and then zooming out to solutions with the arrest of former Prince Andrew, the latest from the Epstein files, and the inaugural meeting of Trump's Board of Peace. In this episode, Jane and Jason are brimming with ideas, including: how to better police the role of British elites when they play the role of Butlers to the world of dark money and act as useful idiots in reputation laundering; how we could possibly learn from the Olympic spirit to create our very own Mega Ordering ‘diplomatic Olympics'; why Europe needs to step up and play the Ordering role; and how they – and other democracies globally – could set up their own ‘diplomatic board of peace' to counter Trump's largely farcical iteration.

Emergency Department–Initiated Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder JAMA Network This multicenter randomized study examined if 7-day extended-release injectable buprenorphine compared with sublingual buprenorphine to improve treatment engagement at 7 days. It included 1,994 adult patients presenting to the emergency department with untreated opioid use disorder and a Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) score of 4 or higher. In treatment at 7 days, 40.5% were in the extended-release group and 38.5% were in the sublingual buprenorphine group, demonstrating no significant difference between groups. The study concluded that a 7-day extended-release injectable preparation of buprenorphine does not improve treatment engagement.

Irish SMEs may be unknowingly breaching GDPR and failing to meet Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) record-keeping requirements due to widespread gaps in how HR documents are stored, accessed, and governed. That is, according to new findings published from the Irish SME HR Report, by Ireland's leading people management platform, HRLocker. The report, based on responses from professionals working on HR in organisations employing 20–249 people, reveals that document disorder has become one of the most significant, yet preventable, compliance risks facing Irish businesses. Two-thirds breach GDPR due to insecure HR data storage Under Articles 5 and 32 of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), employers must ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and security of employees' personal data. Yet 66 per cent of SMEs continue to store HR documents in insecure systems, including general cloud folders (32 per cent), local hard drives (11 per cent), paper files (11 per cent) and email threads (9 per cent). The Data Protection Commission has already investigated SMEs for similar failures. In a recently published case, an employer mishandled sensitive employment information during a data breach, prompting an official complaint and regulatory intervention. The DPC found that the organisation had not implemented adequate safeguards to protect employee data, providing a clear example of the real?world consequences of poor HR document governance. Under GDPR, failures of this kind can result in administrative fines of up to €10 million or 2 per cent of global turnover, as well as compensation claims from affected employees. More than half failing to comply with data protection regulations The report highlights that 59 per cent of SMEs lack accurate, formal version control, risking breaches of GDPR Article 5(1)(d), which requires organisations to maintain accurate and up?to?date employee records. Further, 56 per cent do not have a current retention policy for HR data, despite the GDPR storage limitation principle and obligations under the Data Protection Act 2018. Mid-sized SMEs (50–99 employees) are the least compliant, with over one-third (39 per cent) lacking any retention policy at all. Without version control or retention schedules, SMEs cannot demonstrate compliance during WRC inspections or GDPR investigations, leaving them exposed to enforcement action, compensation claims, and costly remediation work. More than one in three risks undermining accountability requirements There is a clear lack of auditability in the sector, with 26 per cent of SMEs reporting that they do not maintain an audit trail for HR document access and changes. A further 27 per cent are unsure whether one exists, meaning more than one in three lack robust processes. This lack and uncertainty place organisations at risk of breaching GDPR Articles 24 and 30, which require employers to demonstrate accountability and maintain clear records of processing activities. In the event of a data-access request, breach investigation, or WRC inspection, the absence of an audit trail can lead to immediate compliance failure. Non-compliance carries real financial and operational consequences Governance gaps fuelled by document disorder also undermine compliance with core Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) record-keeping obligations, including requirements to maintain accurate, accessible, and up-to-date records on: Working hours Annual leave and public holidays Contracts and terms of employment Payroll and remuneration Disciplinary and grievance procedures Under the Workplace Relations Act 2023, missing audit trails, outdated files, or scattered storage systems can result in fixed-payment notices of up to €2,000 per offence, in addition to compensation awards to employees and orders to rectify records at the employer's expense. These costs come on top of business disruption during follow-up inspections and reputational damage that undermines employee trust. A preven...

Pelvic floor disorders are common, but many people hesitate to talk about symptoms like leakage, pressure or prolapse. The pelvic floor supports key organs, and when it weakens, problems can develop. In this episode, Varuna Raizada, MD, a urogynecologist at Scripps Clinic, explains what the pelvic floor does, common disorders and who's at risk. Dr. Raizada discusses diagnosis, treatment options — including physical therapy, estrogen cream and surgery — plus lifestyle changes, at-home exercises and when it's time to see a doctor.
The Language of Play - Kids that Listen, Speech Therapy, Language Development, Early Intervention
Hey Friends~ This episode is part 2 of the series “When Communication is Hard.” Today we're talking about childhood apraxia of speech and other motor speech disorders—what they are, and why speech can be so effort-filled for some kids. If your child knows what they want to say but can't consistently get the words out, this episode will help you understand what's really going on beneath the surface. We'll also talk about why “just practice” often backfires and what kinds of support actually help at home. I am glad you are here, your child will be, too! Always cheering you on!

This is the second in our two-part series shining a light on Epstein survivors and their real-life stories. In this episode, Mark Lobel is joined by civil rights attorney Lisa Bloom, who represents many of Epstein's victims. Bloom reveals how she has recently been approached by new potential clients in the wake of the recent release of yet more documents from the Epstein Files. She calls Epstein “one of the most prolific sexual predators the world has ever seen”. She discusses why the American Justice system has not helped the powerless achieve justice against the rich and powerful. She explains how this needs to be fixed. As Mark and Lisa Order the Disorder, she outlines what justice would look like for the Epstein victims and how we as a world can improve how we acheive justice for victims of grooming and sexual abuse. Lisa proposes the concrete step of advocating for a blanket ban on the statute of limitations for sexual abuse.

Beyond the Pearls: Cases for Med School, Residency and Beyond (An InsideTheBoards Podcast)
Today's Case A 28-year-old female presents to an outpatient psychiatry clinic with a 1-month history of anxiety attacks. She has a past history of major depressive disorder (MDD) and is taking a low dose sero- tonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI). During the panic attacks she experiences severe anxiety with the following symptoms: lightheadedness, accelerated heart rate, chest pain, short- ness of breath, and nausea. The symptoms last between 2 and 20 minutes. She cannot identify any triggers for the panic attacks. She has been worrying about when the next panic attack will occur, and the symptoms are affecting her ability to function. She was previously effectively treated with venlafaxine and until now had experienced infrequent panic attacks. Today's Reader Ryan O'Connell is a junior biology major at Loyola Marymount University. About Dr. Raj Dr Raj is a quadruple board certified physician and associate professor at the University of Southern California.

Does a mental health diagnosis explain why you are suffering, or does it just give your suffering a name?In this episode, I challenge the traditional way we look at mental health labels. While a diagnosis (like depression, anxiety, or ADHD) can be a helpful shorthand for professionals, it often becomes a trap for the person receiving it—convincing them they are "broken" rather than adapting to their life context.To illustrate this, I share the story of two hypothetical clients: Penny and Milton. Both come to therapy with the exact same heavy symptoms.Penny receives a diagnosis, is told she has a disorder to manage forever, and leaves feeling defective.Milton is met with a nervous system perspective, learns his feelings make sense based on his history, and is given the tools to actually heal.Join me as we explore why your diagnosis is a description, not a life sentence. We'll discuss how to shift from "fighting a disorder" to building safety in your nervous system, so you can stop merely managing symptoms and start getting unstuck.In this episode, you will learn:Why a diagnosis in the DSM describes what is happening but rarely explains why.The critical difference between the "Disorder Model" vs. the "Nervous System Model."How to stop rejecting your feelings and start building safety (the "Milton" approach).Why your symptoms are likely a normal response to an abnormal situation.
This winter has been incredibly cold in New York City. With long days spent inside and with the sun going down early, many might be struggling with Seasonal Affective Disorder, also known as seasonal depression. Dr. Paul Desan, associate professor of psychiatry at the Yale School of Medicine, gives listeners a better understanding of how Seasonal Affective Disorder works and tips for how to combat it.Stock graphic via iStock / Getty Images Plus
Hey Elon are you listening? And King Charles and former Prince Andrew, what about you? We want actions, not words. Order isn't gonna magically appear, powerful people need to help bring it about. This episode has tips for how the most powerful could use their wealth and power to try to Order the Disorder. As the implications of the Epstein scandal grows ever larger and the whole affair presents terrifying perspectives from which to view our geopolitics over of the last two decades, we here at Disorder, would like to spend real time focusing on survivors, rather than just paying them lip service. Hence, we have two shows this week focusing on their stories. In today's episode, Mark Lobel talks to Asian-American artist Rina Oh about how she was groomed and drawn into Epstein's network - and how he used grooming tactics to manipulate countless young women. She is writing a book in which she will soon ‘reveal all' about the man she describes as a “raging paedophile”. Rina is incredibly brave to be speaking out and we applaud her and are honoured to be platforming her. To finish the episode, as Mark and Rina Order the Disorder, Rina talks about what must happen next for justice to be done for hundreds of victims – specifically she describes how law enforcement should go after what's left of his network.

"Trauma Isn't a Disorder, It's a Repairable Injury | Dr. Eugene Lipov." What if trauma isn't a disorder at all, but an injury your body never healed from? For decades, we've been told PTSD is psychological, permanent, and something to "manage." That framing may be the very thing keeping millions trapped. . In this episode, I sit down with physician-neuroscientist Dr. Eugene Lipov, the man who quietly disrupted the mental-health establishment by demonstrating something deeply unsettling and deeply hopeful at the same time: . Trauma is not a character flaw. It's a biological filing error. . When the brain loses its ability to distinguish between what happened and what is happening, the nervous system gets locked into a false present-moment reality. That's not pathology. That's an injury. . And injuries can heal. In this conversation, we explore: Why PTSD may be a misdiagnosis, and why Dr. Lipov argues it should be renamed Post-Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI) What actually happens in the brain during extreme trauma, and why logic cannot override it The role of the amygdala, hippocampus, and norepinephrine in "frozen" traumatic memory Why talk therapy often fails when the nervous system is stuck in threat How the Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) interrupts trauma at the biological level Why trauma is frequently misidentified as anxiety, personality, burnout, or temperament How untreated trauma is passed down through families via behavior and epigenetics Why labeling trauma as a "disorder" quietly reinforces shame and hopelessness The difference between coping with trauma and ending it This is not a comfort conversation. It is a precision conversation. If you believe leadership, performance, and clarity begin in the mind, this episode will challenge you. If you understand that biology precedes belief, this episode may finally explain what you've been living with. About My Guest Dr. Eugene Lipov is a physician, neuroscientist, and global pioneer in the treatment of trauma-related symptoms. In 2006, he introduced the use of the Stellate Ganglion Block as a direct intervention into the nervous system for trauma survivors. . His work reframes PTSD as a treatable biological injury, not a lifelong psychological sentence. Dr. Lipov is also the author of The God Shot: Healing Trauma's Legacy, which explores the science, stories, and clinical implications of this approach.
