Italy's government is balancing NATO's demands for increased military spending against rising energy costs.

Guest: Anatol Lieven. European leaders are divided over initiating direct negotiations with Russia as the war remains stuck on the ground.

Guest: Anatol Lieven. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is emerging as a formidable potential successor to Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

After former satanist Jordan Nettleton quit psychedelics and entered rehab, he expected peace. Instead, while completely sober, the darkness intensified: paranormal activity, sleep paralysis, demonic attacks, and a terrifying out-of-body experience.

Last month the Positive Action Group held a meeting to discuss our failing policies on dealing with drugs. They invited speakers from the Transform Drug Policy Foundation and Anyone's Child and I spoke to them for this evening's Agenda. Our drugs enforcement regime has the same effect as pruning a bush according to our speakers, merely encouraging growth in other areas, so is it time for a radical rethink? Criminalising drug use appears to be doing little to discourage use of recreational drugs so should the Isle of Man consider a more radical approach which could save lives?

Being locked up in prison is hard - but often the real test comes when you're released. In part 2 of this discussion, Tahlia Isaac takes Gary inside the raw reality of life in a women's maximum-security facility: 22-hour lockdowns, mothers crying for children they can't reach, Aboriginal matriarchs ripped from their communities, and women imprisoned for nothing more than driving without a licence. Then comes the moment when the doors swing open…to no money, support, or protection. Tahlia argues that the system doesn't need fixing, it needs to be completely torn down and rebuilt, which is exactly what she’s trying to do now through her charity Project:herSELF.

Thousands upon thousands of lightly-dressed partiers will descend on the Las Vegas Motor Speedway this weekend for EDC. But as they head to a weekend of debauchery and – for many, substance use – some revelers are opting to take advantage of free Naloxone (also known as Narcan), which can quickly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose. The drug has existed for decades, but only recently became the linchpin in nationwide efforts to staunch the opioid epidemic. So what changed? Host Jesse Merrick sits down with Leah Shepherd, executive director of the nonprofit Victoria's Voice, to discuss what EDC-goers can tell us about how regular people are helping end the opioid crisis.  Learn more about the sponsors of this Wednesday, May 13th episode: The Neon Museum Zen Leaf Want to get in touch?

Bill Bennett, also known as “Billy the Biker,” joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his unbelievable story of living over 50 years in the outlaw biker world. After being drafted during the Vietnam era, Bill's life took a wild turn, leading him down a path of crime, addiction, and eventually prison. In this episode, he opens up about what it was really like being a 1% biker, the violence and chaos he experienced, and how he survived decades of living on the edge. From battling addiction and doing time behind bars to cheating death multiple times—including life-threatening medical emergencies—Bill breaks down the moments that should have ended his life but didn't. Now a survivor and founder of a nonprofit helping veterans, he reflects on the lessons learned and how he turned everything around. _____________________________________________ #BikerLife #OnePercenter #PrisonStories #TrueCrime #ExCon #AddictionRecovery #SurvivalStory #LockedInPodcast _____________________________________________ Buy Bill's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Cheatin-Reaper-Lessons-Ive-Learned/dp/B0CTRWG8JP _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Billy the Biker's Introduction 01:16 Early Life in Queens and Levittown 03:32 Childhood Trouble and Cub Scout Stories 05:19 Family Life and Early Rebellion 07:01 Drugs, High School, and Wild Youth 09:02 First Arrests and Teenage Chaos 11:00 Drafted Into the Army 13:11 Military Life, Drug Use, and Near Misses 15:20 Drug Dealing and Black Panthers 17:40 Scams, Smuggling, and Surviving the Army 20:03 Near-Death Experience & Out-of-Body Encounter 22:00 Discharge, Family Illness, and Fleeing the Military 24:13 AWOL Adventures, Shoplifting, and Chasing Home 27:00 Turning Self In, More Jail Time, and Old Friends 32:04 Prison Life, Retribution, and Survival 36:05 Post-Prison Struggles, More Crime, and Near Fatal Overdose 40:00 Rebuilding Life, Selling Coke, and Bar Tales 44:16 Freebase Craziness and Brushes With Death 48:21 Family Losses and Reflections on Death 51:19 Survivor's Guilt and Love 54:17 Revenge, Redemption, and Nonprofit Work 57:44 Beating Up Bad Guys and Collections 01:02:00 Life as a Biker, Clubs, and Hustles 01:07:45 Quitting Drugs and Turning a Corner 01:13:13 Wild Biker Stories and Barroom Tales 01:17:40 Final Reflections, Regrets, and Lessons Learned _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Opioid detections in workplaces are rising sharply. Workplace testing firm the Drug Detection Agency says detections of opioids like morphine and fentanyl has increased by more than a third in the past year. In Taranaki, it's recording almost five times as many opioids as the previous year. Chief Executive Glenn Dobson told Mike Hosking the stats will vary in comparison to wastewater, but they're certainly a reflection of a subset of society. He says anecdotally, they're hearing a softening attitude around some drug taking. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Zepbound are prescribed for weight loss, diabetes, and blood-sugar management. But as more people use them, patients are reporting a decrease in cravings for drugs and alcohol. Researchers are now investigating whether GLP-1s might be effective for treating alcohol and drug addiction.  How much do we know? What are the risks?

You would think that when a city councillor - who has long been identified as profoundly sympathetic to the "harm reduction" ideology and the plight of the homeless and drug addicts - announces she opposes the provincial plan to open a supervised consumption site in her ward, it would be BIG news. It's been over a week, but Winnipeg broadcasters haven't told the public yet. And that's the focus of Episode 15.Part 1- A recap of the reasons cited by Point Douglas councillor Vivian Santos for deciding the NDP's election promise of a drug user facility "meeting users where they are at" would overwhelm the North Logan neighborhood she represents, and a review of our coverage in the Winnipeg Sun and on the TGCTS podcast. We broke the news, and for some reason local newsrooms receiving large federal wage and operating subsidies didn't deem it newsworthy. 10.45- What are the chances that in a city with four television newsrooms, and a couple of radio stations still offering reporting, not one of them told the public that Coun. Santos was standing against Premier Wab Kinew, Addictions Minister Bernadette Smith, and the left-wing social agencies she usually courts? Marty Gold juxtaposes the cone of silence about the tide turning against the safe consumption site with CBC reporting on a Siloam Mission event where the media was deliberately not invited by the embattled CEO, Sonia Prevost-Derbecker. When the legacy media gets frozen out on something, that's news. When a city council chair goes nose to nose and head to head with the Minister who is also the area MLA, it isn't deemed important enough to even mention. Hear what concerned citizens can do about that.19.55 Part 2- Odds and ends, including:- Not a single newsroom raised a red flag about Sheila North saying she'll continue to be a consultant to the Winnipeg Police Service despite being elected chief of her home reserve. She admits her job is to advocate for her stakeholders, and real journalists know that means the Police Board will have to consider whether there's a potential conflict of interest.- The lack of curiosity about North's comments lead to a discussion of the bias that local and national media have towards colleagues who move into active political careers.- Marty tells the story of when he first met Scott Oake, now headed to retirement from sports broadcasting. CBC itself couldn't get the facts accurate about Oake's start in Winnipeg, but we remember.******Our column last week in the Sun did what no other mediaoutlet in the entire country did- look into the radical views and opinions of Canada's new Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Joss Reimer. Feds hiring of Joss Reimer as top doc nothing to cheer aboutWe go where other reporters do not, challenging convenientnarratives about public officials and holding them accountable.

Episode 215: Meth-associated HFrEF.   Abishak and Zat (medical students) explain the cardiotoxic effect of methamphetamine and the diagnosis and treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Dr. Arreaza adds insight into the reversibility of meth-associated HFrEF.   Written by Abishak Govindarajan, MSIV and Zat Akbar Shaw. American University of the Caribbean. Edits and comments by Hector Arreaza, MD. Welcome Dr. Arreaza: Welcome to Rio Bravo qWeek. My name is Hector Arreaza, family physician, faculty and associate program director of the Clinica Sierra Vista/Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program. Today we will explore heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, a high-yield and clinically relevant topic in medicine. We will discuss the role of methamphetamine use in the development of HFrEF. This is a pressing issue because about 0.8% of the population 12 and older in the US reported using methamphetamine within the past 12 months in 2024 (National Survey on Drug Use and Health, NSDUH), that's about ≈2.4 million people!We are joined by two aspiring physicians who will help explore this topic. By the way, we will refer to methamphetamine in this episode as “meth”. [Abishak and Akbar introduce themselves] Abishak: [Introduce yourself] The role of meth in HFrEF Dr. Arreaza: Meth is a growing problem in many places, including Bakersfield, where we live. Meth is also known as Meth Crystal, Poor man's cocaine, Ice, Glass, Crank, Speed, Chalk, and Tina. How does meth contribute to the development of HFrEF? Abishak: So, first, let's understand how methamphetamine works. It has a chemical structure similar to dopamine and norepinephrine, and it gets taken up through the neuron transporter proteins. Once it enters the synaptic vesicles (storage sacs for neurotransmitters), it displaces and forces the release of large amounts of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin into the synapse (the space between neurons). Additionally, meth blocks the reuptake of those neurotransmitters into the neuron, ensuring they remain in the synapse for a prolonged period. All this causes a downstream effect of increased sympathetic pathways in the body. Diagnosis Dr. Arreaza: The diagnosis starts with collecting a good history and performing a complete physical exam, and then we confirm with an echocardiogram.  Abishak: Yes, diagnosis requires both symptoms consistent with heart failure and objective evidence of reduced ejection fraction. Echocardiography is the primary diagnostic tool. We also measure BNP. In certain cases, cardiac MRI is used to evaluate myocardial fibrosis and exclude infiltrative or inflammatory etiologies. Coronary angiography may be performed if ischemic disease is suspected.Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy Dr. Arreaza: GDMT Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy started around 1987 when ACE inhibitors were proven to improve mortality in patients with heart failure. Then, during the following decades, many medications have been added to GDMT. Until around 2019–2022 we came out with the main 4 groups of medications that we know as GDMT. Let's talk about GDMT. Akbar: There are four core pillars in GDMT. First, an angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitor, such as sacubitril with valsartan (Entresto), is preferred over ACE inhibitors when tolerated. This medication reduces mortality and heart failure hospitalizations. Second, evidence-based beta blockers including carvedilol, metoprolol succinate, or bisoprolol are used to reduce sympathetic overactivity and improve ventricular remodeling. Third, mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists such as spironolactone or eplerenone reduce fibrosis and improve survival. The Fourth pillar is SGLT2 inhibitors such as dapagliflozin or empagliflozin, which provide significant reductions in heart failure hospitalizations and cardiovascular mortality, regardless of diabetes status. Abishak: Other main parts of the treatment are diuretics, which are used for symptom control but do not reduce long-term mortality. Dr. Arreaza: As a recap: The current 4 pillars of GDMT are: ARNI/ACEi + β-blocker + MRA + SGLT2i)  Beta Blocker Considerations Dr. Arreaza: Sometimes we may be concerned about using beta blockers in active meth users. What did you read about it? Abishak: Historically, there was concern about unopposed alpha stimulation. However, in chronic heart failure, beta blockers remain essential. Carvedilol is often favored because it provides both alpha and beta blockade. Careful titration and close monitoring are critical.Reversibility and Remodeling Dr. Arreaza: Regarding meth-associated HFrEF, we have good news for meth users. Tell us about how reversible this condition is.  Akbar: It can be reversible. One of the most important aspects of this condition is that significant reverse remodeling may occur if the patient stops methamphetamine use and adheres to medical therapy. The Left ventricular ejection fraction can improve substantially and, in some cases, normalize. On the other end of the spectrum, continued meth use may lead to progressive fibrosis, ventricular dilation, and potentially irreversible damage, leading to death.Complications of meth-associated HFrEF Abishak: These patients are at increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, left ventricular thrombus formation, and progressive pulmonary hypertension. If the ejection fraction remains below 35 percent after at least three months of optimized therapy, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (known as ICD) placement should be considered for primary prevention.Addiction Treatment as Core Therapy Dr. Arreaza: It sounds like GDMT cannot be done without talking about meth use disorder treatment. Akbar: Absolutely. Treating the myocardium without addressing the substance use disorder is ineffective. Primary care providers can be trained to manage addictions, but if resources are available, you can place a referral to addiction medicine, psychiatric support, behavioral therapy, and social support services. This is an essential part of the treatment. Sustained abstinence is the single most powerful predictor of recovery.Prognosis Abishak: Prognosis is highly dependent on abstinence. Patients who stop using methamphetamine often experience meaningful improvement in EF and even return to normal.  Dr. Arreaza: Yes, the key factor is complete abstinence, plus standard heart failure treatment. If the damage is mostly functional and inflammatory, recovery is possible. If there is extensive fibrosis (scar) recovery is less likely. Observational studies have shown that patients with meth-associated cardiomyopathy who stop using meth have significant improvement in EF over 3–12 months, fewer hospitalizations, and lower mortality. Akbar: Absolutely. Not all meth-associated cardiomyopathy behaves the same way. The extent of fibrosis determines recovery potential. Cardiac MRI with late gadolinium enhancement can help us estimate scar burden. Patients with minimal fibrosis often have better improvement with abstinence and medical therapy. Dr. Arreaza: So, MRI can actually help us determine the prognosis. Abishak: Yes, very much so. If MRI shows extensive fibrosis, the likelihood of full EF recovery is lower. That information helps us counsel patients more accurately. Akbar: Another key issue is right ventricular involvement. Methamphetamine can affect both ventricles. When the right ventricle fails, patients may develop severe peripheral edema, ascites, and hepatic congestion. Right ventricular dysfunction also worsens prognosis significantly. Dr. Arreaza: And pulmonary hypertension can also worsen the whole picture.  Akbar: That's correct. Meth is associated with pulmonary arterial hypertension independently of left-sided heart failure. In some patients, you may see a combined picture of both pulmonary vascular disease and right ventricular dysfunction. That can make management more complicated because pulmonary pressures may remain elevated even after EF improves. Dr. Arreaza: Tells us about the role of BNP in monitoring these patients.  Abishak: Serial BNP levels can help track response to therapy. Additionally, troponin may be elevated at times in meth users due to myocardial injury. Monitoring renal function is critical because many heart failure medications affect kidney function and potassium levels. Akbar:Other lifestyle modifications include sodium restriction, regular follow-ups, vaccination, and avoidance of other cardiotoxic substances such as alcohol or cocaine. Sleep disorders, especially OSA, should be evaluated because untreated OSA worsens heart failure outcomes. Dr. Arreaza: WhatIs there any role for wearable devices or remote monitoring? Abishak: Yes, increasingly so. Remote weight monitoring, blood pressure tracking, and symptom reporting can reduce hospitalization. In select patients, implantable hemodynamic monitors may help detect rising filling pressures before symptoms occur. Dr. Arreaza: It was a great discussion. Thank you, Abishak and Akbar for bringing all that valuable information to us. Let's wrap it up.

Spirituality and Harmful or Hazardous Alcohol and Other Drug Use  JAMA Psychiatry This meta-analysis of 55 rigorous studies on spirituality and harmful or hazardous drug use (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, or illicit drugs) examined the association between spiritual exposures and related drug use outcomes.  It documented a significant protective association of 13% related to both prevention and recovery. The risk reduction, which extended across all 4 drug categories, reached 18% for individuals with greater than weekly religious service attendance.  These results have implications for clinicians and communities regarding future strategies to address harmful or hazardous alcohol or other drug use.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

New workplace testing results reveal cocaine detections have sharply risen across the country. The Drug Detection Agency's results for the three months to December show cocaine was present in 3.7% of positive tests – more than double the amount from last quarter. Bay of Plenty, Auckland West, and Waikato were identified as the regions with the sharpest rises. Chief Executive Glenn Dobson told Mike Hosking that New Zealand already has a strong use base of methamphetamine, and now they're starting to see a real increase in cocaine usage, which is a real concern for them.

Ep. 80 - Joining me is Jim Dudley, host of Police1's acclaimed podcast Policing Matters. Jim was with the San Francisco Police Department for 32 years, rising to the rank of Deputy Chief. He takes us back to policing in San Francisco in the 1980s and walks through how the profession — and crime itself — evolved over the decades, from the crack epidemic to today's open drug use and reforms impacting law enforcement like reducing felony charges to misdemeanors. He reflects on his time as an Investigator in the Bureau of Inspectors, working cases ranging from burglary and property crimes to domestic violence, assaults, and serious violent offenses.Jim also speaks candidly about the critical incident in which he used deadly force to save his own life and his partner's during a struggle with an armed suspect. We discuss the reality of being investigated after a fatal use-of-force incident, the emotional toll that follows, and how that experience shaped his leadership style when supporting officers navigating their own critical incidents.Since retiring in 2013, Jim has continued serving the profession as the host of Policing Matters and as a criminal justice instructor at San Francisco State University, where he has taught for 14 years. We touch on a topic of particular interest to me and that is the impact criminal justice professors can have on framing the national narrative on policing. Thank you, Jim.I also want to thank the listeners who I mention in the episode: @Luv fitness pal and @Emandagat01left very kind words in their five-star reviews on Apple podcasts.
