CardioNerds (Dr. Colin Blumenthal, Dr. Kelly Arps, and Dr. Natalie Marrero) discuss anti-arrhythmic drugs in the management of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter with electrophysiologist Dr. Andrew Epstein. We discuss two major classes of anti-arrhythmic drugs, class IC and class III, as well as digoxin. Dr. Epstein explains their mechanisms of action, indications and specific patient populations in which they would be particularly helpful, efficacy, adverse side effects, contraindications, and key drug-drug interactions. We also elaborate on defining clinical trials and their clinical implications. Given the large burden of atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter in our patient population and the high prevalence of anti-arrhythmic drug use, this episode is sure to be applicable to many practicing physicians and trainees.

Pearls Anti-arrhythmic drugs should not be thought of as an alternative to ablation but, instead, should be considered an adjunct to catheter ablation. Class IC anti-arrhythmic drugs, flecainide and propafenone, are highly efficacious for acute cardioversion and a great option for patients with infrequent episodes of AF who do not have a history of ischemic heart disease. Class III anti-arrhythmic drugs like ibutilide, sotalol, and dofetilide, are highly effective for acute conversion; however, they require hospitalization for close monitoring during initiation and dose titration given the risk of prolonged QT. Amiodarone should not be used as a first line agent given its toxicities, prolonged half-life, large volume of distribution, and drug-drug interactions. Dr. Epstein notes that, “All drugs are poisons with a few beneficial side effects,” when highlighting the many adverse side effects of anti-arrhythmic drugs, particularly amiodarone, and the importance of balancing their benefit in rhythm control with their side effect profile. Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Natalie Marrero. What are the Class IC anti-arrhythmic drugs and what indications exist for their use? Class IC anti-arrhythmic drugs are anti-arrhythmic drugs that work by blocking sodium channels and, thereby, prolonging depolarizing. Class IC anti-arrhythmic drugs include flecainide and propafenone. Class IC anti-arrhythmic drugs are good agents to use in patients that have infrequent episodes of AF and do not want daily dosing as these agents can be used by patients when they feel palpitations and desire acute conversion back to sinus rhythm (“pill in the pocket” approach). What are the adverse consequences and/or contraindications to using a class IC agent? Class IC anti-arrhythmic agents are contraindicated in patients with a history of ischemic heart disease based on increased mortality associated with their use in these patients in the CAST trial. Given the results of the CAST trial, providers should screen annually for ischemia via a functional stress test in patients on these drugs at risk for coronary disease. These drugs can increase 1:1 conduction of atrial flutter and, therefore, require concomitant use of a beta blocker. These agents are generally well-tolerated without any organ toxicities; however, they can precipitate heart failure in patients with cardiomyopathies, cause sinus node depression, and unmask genetic arrythmias such as a Brugada pattern. What are the class III agents and what are indications for their use? Class III agents are drugs that block the potassium channel, prolonging the QT, and include Ibutilide, Sotalol, and Dofetilide. Class III agents can be considered in patients with or without a history of ischemic heart disease that desire effective acute chemical cardioversion and are willing to go to the hospital for close monitoring during dose initiation and titration. Other specific circumstances in which one can use these agents, specifically Ibutilide, are in patients with recurrent atrial fibrillation and Wolf Parkinson White (due to slowed conduction via the accessory pathway). What are the adverse consequences and/or contraindications to using a class III agent? Ibutilide, Sotalol, and Dofetilide prolong the QT and increase the risk of torsade de pointes, which is why they require ECG monitoring in-patient during drug initiation and dose titration. These agents are generally well-tolerated. Sotalol should be avoided or used cautiously in patients with left ventricular dysfunction, while dofetilide can be used and has dose-response beneficial effects in patients with left ventricular dysfunction. Both sotalol and dofetilide are renally cleared with specific creatinine clearance cutoffs (CrCl < 20 for dofetilide and CrCl
In this video we cover the different types of heart block as well as heart block ECG interpretation, including 1st degree, 2nd degree which has two types- Mobitz 1 or Wenckebach and Mobitz 2, as well as 3rd degree heart block also known as complete heart block. We also look at causes, symptoms and treatment options for each type of heart block.

In this episode of the Prehospital Care Podcast, we explore a compelling personal medical narrative by Dr Sarah Spelsberg titled “The Not Really an Asthma Attack.” The story centres on a challenging case encountered in a remote island emergency department and highlights the complexity of clinical decision-making when patients do not present in textbook fashion. Dr Spelsberg recounts the case of a 41-year-old man who arrived in severe respiratory distress, initially appearing to be suffering from a life-threatening asthma exacerbation. Standard treatment was commenced, and early investigations, including an ECG and chest X-ray, were undertaken, yet the patient failed to improve as expected.As the clinical picture evolved, it became clear that the initial diagnosis did not fully explain the patient's condition. Further assessment raised concern for a more serious and potentially life-threatening pathology, with features suggesting pericarditis, possibly in the context of a recent viral illness. The narrative captures the difficulty of managing a complex, non-classical presentation in a resource-limited setting, where access to specialist support is constrained, and decisions carry significant risk.Recognising the limits of local capability and the need for specialist input, the team made the critical decision to arrange a medevac transfer to the mainland for cardiology review. Sarah reflects on the case as a powerful reminder of diagnostic humility, the importance of reassessing assumptions when a patient's trajectory does not fit expectations, and the professional responsibility to continue expanding one's medical knowledge. The story resonates strongly with pre-hospital and emergency clinicians, underscoring the realities of uncertainty, vigilance, and adaptive clinical reasoning in high-stakes care.

(2025). Prehospital fibrinolysis in high-risk pulmonary embolism – Observational data on clinical picture and outcome. Prehospital Emergency Care, 29(7), 1–8. https://doi.org/10.1080/10903127.2025.2582671 Recordatorio rápido: embolia pulmonar de alto riesgo Definición sencilla: EP de alto riesgo / masiva → se manifiesta como shock obstructivo o paro cardiaco. Fisiopatología en pocas palabras: Trombo grande en circulación pulmonar → aumento de poscarga del ventrículo derecho → falla del VD → colapso hemodinámico. Por qué es tan letal: Deterioro muy rápido, ventana terapéutica corta. Frecuentemente se presenta como paro fuera del hospital. Conectar con ACLS: La EP masiva está dentro de las "T" (tromboembolismo) en las causas reversibles del paro. Las guías ACLS contemplan el uso de trombolíticos cuando se sospecha fuertemente EP como causa del paro. ¿Cómo se ve clínicamente un paciente con EP de alto riesgo? Disnea súbita, dolor torácico, síncope, hipotensión, antecedentes de riesgo trombótico. Resumen del estudio de Harjola et al. Objetivo principal del estudio Explorar supervivencia y complicaciones hemorrágicas del uso de trombolíticos prehospitalarios para embolia pulmonar de alto riesgo. Diseño Datos de EMS del área metropolitana de Helsinki + hospital universitario. Periodo aproximado: 2007–2019. Inclusión: Pacientes con EP de alto riesgo sospechada clínicamente. Tratados con fibrinolisis intravenosa prehospitalaria. Diagnóstico de EP confirmado posteriormente por imagen o autopsia. Grupo comparador: Pacientes con EP de alto riesgo que no recibieron fibrinólisis prehospitalaria. Resultados clave Total de pacientes con EP de alto riesgo: 60. Grupo con trombolíticos prehospitalarios para embolia pulmonar: n = 23. 44% mujeres. Edad media: alrededor de 57 años. 74% se presentaron en paro cardiaco. 26% en shock obstructivo. Mortalidad: Mortalidad prehospitalaria aproximada: 35%. Mortalidad intrahospitalaria: alrededor de 27% de los que llegaron vivos. Mortalidad total combinada: cerca de 52%. Todas las muertes en este grupo fueron en pacientes que llegaron en paro cardiaco. Complicaciones: 2 pacientes con sangrado mayor. Ningún sangrado fatal. Supervivencia a 12 meses: Los pacientes trombolizados que salieron vivos del hospital seguían vivos a los 12 meses. Grupo sin trombolisis prehospitalaria: n = 37. Más añosos (edad media cercana a 72 años). Mayor proporción de paro cardiaco. Mortalidad a 12 meses más alta (≈ 76%, tendencia, p alrededor de 0.06). Comentario para desarrollar: Es un estudio observacional, con n pequeño, no podemos concluir causalidad, pero sí hay "señales" interesantes de posible beneficio. ¿Qué nos dice realmente este estudio? Mensajes principales La EP de alto riesgo fuera del hospital tiene una mortalidad muy alta aun con intervenciones agresivas. En este contexto crítico, los trombolíticos prehospitalarios para embolia pulmonar: Parecen relativamente seguros (pocas hemorragias mayores, ninguna fatal). Podrían ofrecer un beneficio en supervivencia, especialmente en pacientes seleccionados. Limitaciones para mencionar Serie de casos; no es ensayo aleatorizado. Número pequeño de pacientes trombolizados. Posible sesgo de selección: Pacientes más jóvenes y potencialmente con menos comorbilidades recibieron trombólisis. No responde preguntas como: Detalle exacto del protocolo. Diferencias entre equipos. Tiempos exactos desde el colapso hasta la trombólisis. Idea clave: No es un "permiso" para trombolizar a todo el mundo, pero sí una invitación seria a considerar que, en EP de alto riesgo, la inacción también tiene un costo muy alto. El reto práctico: decidir trombolisis en el campo Barreras en la vida real Diagnóstico presuntivo sin imagen: Dependemos de clínica, antecedentes, ECG, quizás eco focal. Miedo al sangrado: Especialmente hemorragia intracraneal. Falta de protocolos claros: Muchos sistemas de EMS no contemplan todavía trombolíticos prehospitalarios para embolia pulmonar. Falta de entrenamiento específico: No todos se sienten cómodos con indicaciones, contraindicaciones, dosis. Cómo ayuda ACLS aquí ACLS bien aprendido: Te obliga a pensar en H y T, no solo en adrenalina y ciclos. Te muestra dónde se colocan los trombolíticos prehospitalarios para embolia pulmonar dentro del algoritmo. Te entrena para liderar un equipo y tomar decisiones bajo presión. Conectar con los cursos de ECCtrainings: En nuestros ACLS discutimos escenarios de paro por EP masiva. Practicamos cómo tomar la decisión de administrar o no trombolítico. Simulamos la comunicación con el hospital receptor después de trombólisis. Caso clínico narrado Propuesta de caso Varón de 48 años. Disnea súbita, dolor torácico, antecedente de inmovilidad o TVP reciente. Hipotenso, taquicárdico, saturación baja, signos de shock. En la ambulancia entra en PEA. El equipo evalúa H y T → EP masiva muy probable. Protocolo local permite trombolíticos prehospitalarios para embolia pulmonar: Se administra el medicamento durante la RCP. Después de varios ciclos recupera pulso. Llega vivo al hospital, se confirma EP por imagen y sobrevive. Puntos a resaltar Valor de: reconocer el patrón clínico, tener protocolos, estar entrenado en ACLS. Conectar con la serie de Helsinki: "Son justamente este tipo de pacientes los que aparecen en la serie: altísimo riesgo, pero con posibilidad real de supervivencia si somos agresivos." Cómo prepararte tú y tu sistema Pasos sugeridos para líderes, educadores y clínicos de EMS Revisar la evidencia Usar este estudio como punto de partida para la discusión sobre trombolíticos prehospitalarios para embolia pulmonar. Evaluar la realidad local ¿Disponibilidad del medicamento? ¿Quién puede prescribir y administrar? ¿Qué soporte hospitalario hay (UCI, hemodinamia, ECMO)? Desarrollar protocolos claros Criterios de inclusión y exclusión. Algoritmo que integre ACLS y trombólisis. Entrenamiento formal No basta con escribir el protocolo; hay que entrenarlo en simulación. Cursos ACLS con escenarios específicos de EP. Simulaciones y revisión de casos Simulacros periódicos con roles definidos. Morbimortalidad / debriefing de casos reales o simulados.

I needed a self-meter, so I spoke with my neighbor, who introduced me to her friend claiming to work at ECG. I gave him 2,500 cedis to help me get one, but I have yet to hear from him.
Increasing tariffs is unnecessary. The focus should be on tracking down those who steal electricity and owe the ECG, instead of burdening honest consumers. - Eugene Osei Tutu.
My Story Talk 33 Life after Mattersey (3) India Our last trip beyond Europe during the years following our departure from Mattersey was to India in 2010. Like my first trip to Ethiopia in 2005, this came about through Arto Hamalainen, the Overseas Missions Director for the Pentecostal churches in Finland. One of their missionaries had asked him to recommend someone who would come and teach about the Holy Spirit and Arto suggested me. The Finns said that they would cover my airfare and, as Eileen had never visited India, I was happy to pay for her. Our destination was Machilipatnam on the eastern coast of India, stopping briefly to minister at Mumbai before flying home. However, as several of our former Mattersey students were from India, we decided that we'd like to visit them as well, if at all possible. So I contacted Lawrence Arumanayagam in Coimbatore and Victor Palla in Palakonda and they were keen to have us come. So an itinerary was arranged for us to arrive at each place on a Monday and then stay for six days before moving on the following Sunday evening or Monday. I made it clear that it was important for me to abide by the Sabbath principle of resting one day in seven. Apart from that, they could arrange as much ministry as they liked during our stay with them. However, it turned out that they were all so keen to make the most of our visit that they organised ministry for all six days and counted on us travelling on to the next place on the day we were supposed to be resting! So the itinerary turned out as follows: Friday 19th February – travel to London Heathrow Saturday 20th – depart Heathrow Sunday 21st – arrive Mumbai at 1a.m. (local time) – attend church in Mumbai and preach in the evening Monday 22nd – fly to Machilipatnam Tuesday to Sunday – ministry in Machilipatnam Sunday 28th – evening, fly to Hyderabad (staying overnight at the airport) Monday March 1st – travel on to Palakonda Tuesday to Sunday – ministry in Palakonda Monday 8th – travel to Coimbatore via Chennai and Bangalore Tuesday to Sunday – ministry in Coimbatore Monday 15th – travel on to Mumbai Tuesday-Wednesday – ministry in Mumbai Thursday 18th March – fly home. I have taken space to include this itinerary to show how busy our schedule was and to indicate what was probably the reason for the health challenges I subsequently faced and which I will describe later. But first let me briefly mention some of the highlights of the trip. Machilipatnam Although we were already tired from our long journey to Mumbai we needed to be up by 4.50 on Monday morning to catch the 6.50 flight to Bangalore where we changed planes and flew on to Vijayawada where we were met by Pauli, our Finnish host. We were so grateful for the comfortable taxi he had hired to take us on to Machilipatnam. Pauli and his wife accommodated us throughout our stay in a comfortable room in their home and fed us well. From Tuesday to Friday I was teaching every morning and afternoon and developed a sore throat, partly due, I suspect, to the dry heat. However, on the Saturday there was no meeting until the evening, and we were taken to visit some of the local villages and a vast beach where people were in the sea dressed in their everyday clothes. This was a very poor area which had been badly affected by the Tsunami a few years earlier. We were also interested to visit the Hyny Bible College, named after the first missionary from Finland, 'Mother' Hyny. Once again I am grateful to Eileen's journal which brings back happy memories of the Sunday morning meeting: For the first half of church children from orphanages sit on the floor. They come for Sunday School and then stay for the meeting. They are so still and well behaved. They have Bibles and some take notes. They gave us garlands again… After a quick lunch we were back in a taxi again speeding our way to Vijayawada airport. Our stay had been brief and very busy, but despite our tiredness we were grateful for the opportunity the Lord had given us to visit these wonderful people and to share his word with them. Palakonda Palakonda is also on the east coast of India, but further north. The quickest way to get there was to fly inland to Hyderabad in central India and then northeast to Visakhapatnam. This would require an overnight stop at Hyderabad airport where fortunately a comfortable bedroom was available at a very reasonable price. At Visakhapatnam we were greeted by Victor Palla and one of his associate pastors. Victor was one of our former students having taken both our undergraduate and MA courses. He knew Bob Hyde well as they had both been at Mattersey together and our church in Brixham was supporting Victor and the thirty churches he had planted in the Palakonda area after leaving college. The taxi journey on to Palakonda took a further three hours and we were grateful for the large ensuite airconditioned bedroom Victor and Lydia provided for us throughout our stay. The hospitality was lavish and the food both plentiful and excellent. It's so difficult not to eat too much when people are so generous. There was only one problem. Palakonda is famous for its malaria carrying mosquitos and both of us were bitten while we were there despite Victor's efforts to zap the invaders with an amazing racquet powered by batteries that electrocuted them. However, thanks to prayer and the antimalarial tablets we were taking, neither of us contracted the dreaded disease. During the course of the week we ministered in numerous meetings in Palakonda and the surrounding villages. In one of them we were told how the church had started with a family becoming Christians. The rest of the villagers worshipped a tree. The Christian family wanted to cut it down but were afraid of the people. Then Christians from another village came and after praying cut the tree down. The villagers expected something bad to happen to these Christians, but when nothing of the kind happened, they all became Christians. But the highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the day we left at 10am for a meeting with ten churches in the beautiful hills surrounding Palakonda. We travelled by Jeep on extremely bumpy roads at an average speed of 10mph passing through villages that hadn't changed for centuries. We finally arrived at a village where a large banner with our names on it welcomed us. Leaving the Jeep there we were led up a rocky, dusty path to the church where some 400 people were sitting outside it on the ground under a leafy shelter. We sat on chairs with our backs to the church building and the girls came and washed Eileen's feet and we were both given beautiful garlands to wear. The meeting started with lots of singing followed by prayer, after which I preached. This was followed by a meal where the people sat in rows on the ground and were served with a rice dish on disposable plates made from sown leaves. In her journal Eileen commented: The whole time was special. Amazing atmosphere. And the same day, after returning to Palakonda for a short rest, we were driven to a village after dark where 200 had gathered for another meeting where, after a firework display, I was asked to preach again. We returned to Palakonda extremely tired, but very happy. It was very much the same the entire week and by the time we moved on to Coimbatore I was beginning to feel the need of a good rest. But what a privilege it had been to have fellowship with Victor and Lydia and to share the word of God with so many wonderful people in the Palakonda area whose way of life is very different from ours but with whom we have so much in common. Coimbatore After a busy week in Palakonda, the following Monday we flew on to Coimbatore via Chennai (formerly Madras) to be greeted by Lawrence and Getzi Arumanayagam and were made very welcome in their lovely modern apartment. On the Tuesday we were straight into teaching sessions both morning and afternoon in their beautiful church. I was pleased to see that the congregation was much larger than it had been when I had visited them in 1986. The teaching sessions continued on the Wednesday. They started well until something happened that I had never experienced before. In the middle of preaching I suddenly began to feel unwell. Eileen, who was sitting on the front row, said afterwards that she thought I was going to have a stroke or a heart attack. I asked if I could sit down for a moment and the people, suspecting that I was suffering from dehydration, kindly brought me some fluids and chocolate. After a few minutes I was feeling a bit better and was able to resume preaching although I remained seated to do so. Looking back on it, I'm sure that it was because of overwork and the extreme heat. I hadn't had a rest day since we left England and India was even hotter than usual that year. But the experience had seriously affected my confidence. The next day, realising that I needed a rest, Lawrence and Getzi decided to take us for an overnight stay in Ooty where the temperature is a few degrees lower because of its altitude. Eileen said it felt almost cold at times, but I was so grateful for it. We had a delightful two days there and I began to feel better. We took the opportunity to visit the Livsey Children's Home built in memory of Helga Mosey. Helga had come to our youth camp in the New Forest back in the seventies and was one of the passengers on Pan Am flight 103 destroyed by a bomb while flying over the Scottish town of Lockerbie in 1988. Her parents John and Lisa were well known to us, and the home had been built from part of the proceeds of the compensation they had received. The trip to Ooty did us good and I thought that I had got over whatever it was that had caused the problem on Wednesday. However, on Saturday morning I was feeling so unwell that I was unable to attend a graduation service where I was expected to preach. Instead, Lawrence phoned a Christian doctor at the hospital who arranged an immediate appointment for me. They took my blood pressure and gave me an ECG and some tablets for vertigo, but could find nothing wrong with me. Encouraged by the news, on Sunday I was feeling somewhat better and managed to preach three times, at 6.30am in Zion Church where Lawrence's father was the pastor, at 9.30am in Bethel City Cathedral led by Pastor David Prakasam, another of our former students, and again in the afternoon at the students' graduation where Eileen and I presented their certificates. Mumbai On Monday we flew back to Mumbai where the temperature was five degrees hotter than usual. Our hosts were Yukka and Lily, Finnish missionaries who, hearing that I was to visit India, had asked if we could fit in a couple of days of seminars before we returned to England. We were accommodated in a comfortable hotel room, but once again I began to feel unwell and ate very little breakfast. I was beginning to feel I just wanted to get home to England, but the flight wasn't until Thursday. However, when Biju Thampi, another of our former Mattersey students, called me and asked if he and his wife, Secu, could take us to lunch, we were keen to see him and we agreed to go. They arrived at 12 and before lunch took us to see a little of what they were doing for some of the many homeless children of the area. There were dozens of children on a piece of wasteland in the shadow of a viaduct where people regularly dumped their rubbish. Biju's ministry involved sending buses to these children where they provide them with a meal and give them a basic education. He told us moving stories of how they had been able to help these children and of miracles that had happened among them, and we decided to hand over all our remaining rupees to him as a small contribution to this vital work. By contrast, immediately afterwards they took us to a high-class hotel not far from the rubbish dump where we were treated to a delightful lunch. After what we had seen we almost felt guilty eating it. Our time with Biju and Secu had been all too brief, but as I was scheduled to teach in the afternoon, we had to say goodbye. Yukka had hired the Catholic Centre and arranged seminars for us from 3.30 to 5.00, and 5.30-7.00 that day with two further sessions scheduled for the Wednesday starting at 9.30. People had travelled great distances to be there to hear me talk about the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Unfortunately it was extremely hot and there was no air conditioning in the building and I soon began to feel unwell again. Realising I had a problem, during the break Yukka arranged for me to sit in his car with its air conditioner on and I was able to continue teaching for the first part of the next session. But sadly I had to finish 30 minutes earlier than planned and they rushed me back to the hotel and sent for a doctor who told me that there was nothing seriously wrong with me and that it was all probably due to the heat. Although that was reassuringly good to hear, it did not, of course, solve the immediate problem. The first session was at 9.30 and the temperature was no cooler and I was unable to complete the seminars. I apologised profusely and the people were very understanding despite their disappointment. They promised that if we ever came again they would be sure to hire an air-conditioned building. The next day we flew back to England, disappointed that a wonderful trip had finished as it had but intensely relieved to be going home where, hopefully, I would soon be back to normal. But I was soon to discover that my recovery would take far longer than expected. There would be new challenges to face for both of us. But that will be the subject of our next talk.

This week Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys we celebrate the amazing, record-breaking, Singaporean distance running star, Soh Rui Yong, who made history at the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon 2025 by clinching both the national half-marathon and marathon titles in back-to-back races. On December 6, Soh took the half-marathon crown in 1:14:58, and just a day later, he returned to the Padang to win the marathon in 2:46:23—his sixth consecutive national marathon title. The feat was far from easy. Soh recalls the toll of running over 63km in 24 hours, battling disrupted sleep and depleted energy levels. “I’m never doing that again,” he admitted after edging out compatriot Aaron Tan by just four seconds. Yet despite the exhaustion, Soh remains optimistic as he looks ahead to the SEA Games in Thailand, even as he faces uncertainty following an “abnormal” ECG result. We explore what this double victory means for his career, his resilience in the face of challenges, and his ambitions for the 10,000m gold medal and beyond.

🧭 REBEL Rundown 📝 Introduction Welcome to the Rebel Core Content Blog, where we delve into crucial knowledge for emergency medicine. Today, we share insightful tips from PEM specialist Dr. Elise Perelman, shedding light on respiratory challenges in infants, toddlers, and young children during the viral season. Understanding that most cases involve typical viruses, we aim to equip you with diagnostic pearls to identify more serious pathologies. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 🔍 Recognizing Respiratory Patterns Pearl #1: Look at Your PatientBegin exams from the doorway. Observing patterns such as accessory muscle usage can reveal a patient’s respiratory effort. Specify whether the work of breathing occurs during inspiration, expiration, or both. Inspiratory work indicates difficulty getting air in, while expiratory work suggests trouble pushing air out. Silent tachypnea may point to other issues, like acidemia or pneumothorax. 🩺 Localizing Sounds for Accurate Diagnosis Pearl #2: Localize the SoundBreathing noises signal varied respiratory issues. Stridor, often heard on inspiration, results from obstructions above the thoracic inlet. Conversely, wheezing, generally linked to exhalation, indicates obstructions in the lower airways. Watch for signs like ‘silent chest’—a dangerous, severe obstruction, and distinguish grunting as a bodily mechanism to prevent alveolar collapse. Correctly identifying the sound assists in determining the appropriate intervention. 💉 Tailoring Treatment for Effective Results Once a sound is localized, treatments vary. We explore Soder from nasal congestion, typically needing supportive care and suctioning. Stridor from conditions like croup is eased with interventions to reduce airway swelling, such as steroids or inhaled epinephrine. Conversely, wheezing in infants is often due to bronchiolitis—not bronchospasms—and over-treatment is to be avoided. Supportive measures including suction, hydration, and oxygen are preferred unless improvement warrants bronchodilators. 🌬️ Intervening with Severe Asthma In severe cases of asthma or bronchiolitis, where standard at-home treatments fail, immediate adjunct therapies like intramuscular epinephrine become essential. Administering this quickly can alleviate obstruction when inhalants aren’t effective due to low air movement. 🦓 Navigating the Zebras of Respiratory Cases When recognizing Zebras—uncommon cases overshadowed by routine diagnoses—remain vigilant for histories or presentations that don’t conform. Conditions like pneumonia, bacterial tracheitis, and even myocarditis may mimic more common issues. 📌 Conclusion As attending physicians, our role extends beyond conventional treatment—it’s about discerning the atypical from the typical. Dr. Perelman urges continual reassessment, emphasizing reliance on observational skills as much as technological aid. Keeping keen on respiratory nuances ensures we catch those outlier cases, paving the way for adept medical care despite the overwhelming prevalence of viral infections.Stay tuned for more pearls and insights in our future posts, as Dr. Perelman shares further strategies for effective pediatric emergency care.

Transformative Leadership Conversations with Winnie da Silva
“We are not meant to force ourselves into monochromatic, one-tone grinds that look and feel the same every single day.” - Winnie da SilvaHigh-performing leaders love a good challenge, so here's one: can you actually sit still without feeling guilty? Most of us can't, and there's a reason for that. Pushing through isn't always strength, but sometimes the moment you slip into self-neglect without even noticing. In this episode, I wrap up our month-long series on “excellence without exhaustion” by taking a deeper look at how awareness, rhythm, and tiny experiments can shift the entire way we lead. I also share a personal conversation with my daughter that completely reframed how I think about rest… and honestly, it stopped me in my tracks.You'll hear me discuss:How my daughter's off-hand comment revealed a deeply ingrained family belief that “doing” equals worthWhy rest can't just be about recovering so you can work harder againThe difference between pushing through as a strength and pushing through as a liabilityThe subtle early signals our bodies give us when stress is building and why catching them mattersWhat natural biological rhythms look like and how they can guide smarter, more sustainable performanceHow forcing our bodies to match our calendars erodes creativity, wisdom, and compassionWhy tiny experiments (not big overhauls) create real and lasting changeThe simple nighttime practice I use to stop rumination in its tracksHow revitalization becomes an act of humility and even a spiritual resetQuestions you can start using today to notice your patterns, shift your rhythm, and build rest back into your leadershipWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | YouTube | Email - winnie@winnifred.orgLearn More About SapiensOverview of Sapiens - A short video introduction to Sapiens and their mission to help people in intense jobs manage stress and sustain performance.Video: The Diagnostics Journey - See what it's like to go through the full Sapiens Stress & Resilience Diagnostic and Human Performance Journey.Sneak Peek: Sapiens Workshop - Get a behind-the-scenes look at a real Sapiens workshop with a CFO team.Mentioned StudiesImpact of long exhales on down-regulating the nervous system and improving moodImpact of microbiome composition on social decision makingThe connection between stress and empathyLink between empathy and inflammationSpecial Offer for ListenersJan-Philipp Martini, founder and CEO of Sapiens, is offering Transformative Leadership Conversations listeners a 20% discount on the Sapiens Stress & Resilience Diagnostic and Habit-Change Program, valid through the end of 2025.It's a four-month journey that begins with a comprehensive at-home diagnostic — including stress-hormone and cortisol analysis, ECG monitoring, and recovery analytics — followed by three months of expert-guided habit coaching and monthly progress tracking.Whether stress has already started to take a toll — on your body, your work, or your relationships — or you're simply curious about how your body responds under pressure, this program can help you understand what's happening beneath the surface and make small, data-informed changes that build lasting performance and wellbeing.If you'd like to learn more or see if this program is right for you, you can book a free 15-minute discovery call with a member of the Sapiens team using this link:????

Transformative Leadership Conversations with Winnie da Silva
"Chronic stress is anti-correlated with all the things you want to have as a leader. It's anti-correlated with empathy, it's anti-correlated with creativity, and it's anti-correlated with complex decision making.” - Jan-Philipp Martini“If you can get more insight into what drives you, you can handle yourself — and your leadership — much better.” – Martin RedigoloStress has a funny way of showing up long before we notice it - our bodies feel it first, and our calendars catch up later.In this episode, I bring Martin Redigolo and Sapiens founder Jan-Philipp Martini together so we can connect the dots between the science, the story, and the real human experience of leading under pressure. Martin actually went through the full Sapiens Stress & Resilience Diagnostic, and he shares what the process was like, what surprised him, and how the results shifted the way he understands himself as a leader.And because Jan-Philipp is with us too, we dig into the “why” behind the data - how stress shows up in the body, what most leaders overlook, and how small, realistic habit shifts can make a huge difference in how you feel and how you perform.This conversation pulls the whole series together in a way that's super grounded, practical, and honestly… eye-opening.You'll hear me discuss:How Martin's diagnostic unfolded and the parts of the process that were surprisingly simple (and surprisingly revealing)The moments when the data challenged what he thought he knew about his own stressHow the ECG and cortisol analysis make invisible stress completely visibleThe three core questions the Sapiens report answers for every leaderThe subtle patterns in your day that can drive fatigue or restlessness without you realizing itWhy it matters to work with your biology before trying to change your mindsetHow chronic stress quietly undermines things like empathy, creativity, and decision-makingThe shifts Martin is making now - at work and at home - because of what he learneda few habit changes that are simple, doable, and grounded in real sciencewhat sustainable leadership actually looks like when you're aiming for excellence without exhaustionResourcesJan Philipp Martini on Sapiens | LinkedInMartin Redigolo on Web | LinkedInBook a 15-minute free demo consultation - LinkResearch: How We Measure Stress Using Body Data and Self-Assessments: Read hereWinnie da Silva on LinkedIn | On the Web | Substack | YouTube | Email - winnie@winnifred.orgLearn More About SapiensOverview of SapiensA short video introduction to Sapiens and their mission to help people in intense jobs manage stress and sustain performance.Video: The Diagnostics JourneySee what it's like to go through the full Sapiens Stress & Resilience Diagnostic and Human Performance Journey.Sneak Peek: Sapiens WorkshopGet a behind-the-scenes look at a real Sapiens workshop with a CFO team.Mentioned StudiesImpact of long exhales on down-regulating the nervous system and improving moodImpact of microbiome composition on social decision makingThe connection between stress and empathyLink between empathy and inflammationSpecial Offer for ListenersJan-Philipp Martini, founder and CEO of Sapiens, is offering Transformative Leadership Conversations listeners a 20% discount on the Sapiens Stress & Resilience Diagnostic and Habit-Change Program, valid through the end of 2025.
Dr. Sunil Gupta highlighted several key aspects of diabetes management, emphasizing the importance of balance, awareness, and regular monitoring. He explained that both glucose and fructose are simple carbohydrates, but glucose has a glycemic index of 100, while fructose is slightly lower. Eating sweets or sugary foods leads to a rapid spike in blood sugar, so it is better to avoid fruit juices and consume whole fruits instead, as their fiber helps reduce the glycemic load and glycemic index. People with controlled diabetes should choose low-sugar fruits such as apple, jamun (black plum), and papaya, while high-sugar fruits like mango, chikoo, pineapple should be taken in limited quantities—around 50 grams or two slices. Including protein and complex carbohydrates in meals helps slow sugar absorption and prevents nighttime low sugar (hypoglycemia). Dr. Gupta further explained that swelling in the body can be due to kidney problems, heart failure, liver disease (such as Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease), or certain diabetes medications; in such cases, both salt and water intake should be limited. He stressed that about 70% of diabetic patients die from heart attacks or brain strokes, making regular heart check-ups is essential even if the ECG appears normal. Because diabetes weakens immunity, infections occur more easily, and wounds heal slowly; hence, maintaining blood sugar control is vital. To prevent hypoglycemia, one should eat something every three to four hours. Finally, he advised that diabetes screening should be done at least once a year—or earlier if symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, or frequent urination appear.

The QT interval is a vital part of ECG interpretation, reflecting the heart's electrical recovery after each beat. When prolonged, it can set the stage for torsades de pointes. Understanding how to measure and correct the QT interval, identify high-risk medications, and act quickly when TdP occurs is essential for every clinician. This guide walks you through the physiology, interpretation, common causes, and emergency management of QTc prolongation to keep your patients safe.

What if the wisdom you seek exists outside the limits of your own mind? What if communication with non-physical entities is not just lore, but a fundamental human capacity now being rigorously tested by science?Welcome to Beyond the Veil, the podcast that dives deep into the most enduring mysteries of consciousness: channeling and mediumship.Channeling, broadly defined, is the communication of information to or through a physically embodied human being, from a source that is said to exist on some other level or dimension of reality than the physical as we know it, and that is not from the normal mind (or self) of the channel. This capacity stretches back thousands of years to the practices of shamans in aboriginal cultures and includes figures identified as channels such as Moses, Muhammad, Merlin, Nostradamus, and Emanuel Swedenborg. Even the roots of all the world's great religions contain channeling phenomena.Today, the scientific community is taking up the challenge using rigorous controlled methods. Researchers employ proxy sitters and apply stringent blinding protocols—including double, triple, and even quintuple-blind conditions—to eliminate all conventional explanations, such as rater bias, fraud, or cold reading, when evaluating anomalous information.The findings are compelling. Controlled studies using blinded evaluations have demonstrated statistically significant results indicating Anomalous Information Reception (AIR). In one study focusing on readings provided by mediums, the results were highly significant, yielding a z score of -3.89 (p < 0.0001).However, the question of how this anomalous information is received remains fiercely debated. Is accurate knowledge proof of the survival of consciousness—meaning the personality of the deceased persists beyond death? Or is it evidence for Super-Psi, suggesting the medium is tapping into a non-local psychic reservoir, a universal mind or group consciousness? Since the theoretical limits of living psychic ability are currently unknown, distinguishing between survival and Super-Psi is incredibly difficult. Adding to the complexity are the physiological realities. Research comparing trance and non-trance states generally finds no substantive differences in EEG, ECG, or galvanic skin response (GSR). However, voice analysis reveals marked changes, including significantly slower speech pace and lower valence (a measure of positive vs. negative attitude) during the channeling state. Psychologically, channelers often score higher on paranormal belief and experience and sensitivity, yet their scores for dissociative or psychotic symptoms remain below clinical cutoffs.

On this week's show we look at some 1960s and 1970s TV shows that received their series finally in a movie at least ten years after going off the air. We also take a look at five home automation trends for this year and beyond. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: MTV is Shutting Down Its Last Music Channels, Marking the End of an Era Taylor Swift Eras Tour docuseries, concert film head to Disney+ Apple TV+ Is Getting Rid Of The Plus 47 Years Ago: Rescue from Gilligan's Island Makes TV History On October 14, 1978, television history was made with the premiere of Rescue from Gilligan's Island, the first-ever TV series adapted into a made-for-TV movie. Airing 47 years ago today, this film brought back the beloved cast of the iconic 1960s sitcom Gilligan's Island, reuniting fans with the stranded castaways for a nostalgic adventure. The movie picked up where the series left off, following the bumbling Gilligan and his fellow survivors as they finally escaped their tropical island—only to face new comedic challenges adjusting to modern life. Starring the original cast, including Bob Denver as Gilligan and Alan Hale Jr. as the Skipper, the film captured the charm and humor that made the show a cultural staple. This groundbreaking adaptation paved the way for future TV-to-movie transitions, proving that beloved series could find new life on the small screen. Rescue from Gilligan's Island remains a milestone in TV history, reminding us of the enduring appeal of these lovable castaways. Here are a few other series that got a series finale years after it's TV run ended: Star Trek (ended in 1969) - Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) – Relaunched the crew on a new mission, effectively serving as a big-screen continuation and soft finale to the original era's story. Get Smart (ended 1970) - The Nude Bomb (1980) – Maxwell Smart returns for a solo mission against a mad bomber, providing a comedic capstone to his career. The Munsters (ended 1966) - Munsters' Revenge (1981 TV movie) – The family thwarts a crime ring, reuniting the original cast for a proper send-off. The Adams Family (ended 1966) - Halloween with the New Addams Family (1977 TV movie) – A reunion special where Gomez and Morticia host a haunted party, offering light-hearted closure. Five Smart Home Trends for 2025 and Beyond According to the National Association of Home Builders, two-thirds of consumers desire a connected home. Smart home technology is increasingly impacting property value while homes without such features may soon be worth less. At the annual CEDIA smart home technology expo in Denver, professionals like Kyle Steele, president of Global Wave Integration, and interior designer Toni Sabatino emphasized the importance of staying updated on smart home innovations. They both highlight insights from CEDIA and recent research, offering ideas for your smart home. Today we take a look at the five trends they see for 2025 and beyond. Increasing Seamless IntegrationFor the aesthetics committee, Smart home tech is evolving to blend invisibly into home aesthetics, with slimmer designs, refined finishes, and hidden features in shading, lighting, audio, and furnishings. This shift turns gadgets into design elements, like concealed speakers or artful LED walls, prioritizing user experience over visibility. But underneath it all, seamless integration will enable devices from various brands, such as lights, thermostats, cameras, and voice assistants, to work together as a unified system. This allows unified control via a single app or voice command, intuitive automation based on triggers and a smooth user experience with minimal setup, no delays, and reliable performance. New devices will integrate easily, and a robust network like Wi-Fi 6 supports the ecosystem, enabling complex routines regardless of device brands. Partnering ExpandsCollaborations between tech integrators and designers are growing to make solutions more accessible, especially for non-tech-savvy users like older homeowners. Designers act as bridges, explaining privacy-focused systems, while expos highlight products for storage, entertainment, and monitoring to enhance client value. Wellness TrendingHealth and wellness features are becoming mainstream, including circadian lighting, air/water purification, biophilic elements, and acoustic treatments. These systems promote energy-efficient, livable spaces aligned with natural rhythms, which may be a selling point for those focused on healthier home environments. Products such as smart scales, sleep analyzers, and blood pressure monitors will seamlessly integrate with home automation platforms enabling automations like adjusting room lighting based on sleep patterns detected by sleep sensors or dimming lights if weight trends indicate fatigue. Similarly, on-demand ECG readings through their mobile app can connect to the automation system to send notifications to family members, doctors and in extreme cases to first responders creating a proactive smart home that responds to vital health data in real time. SecuritySecurity remains a top priority, driving demand for video doorbells, whole-house systems, and cybersecurity measures amid hacking risks. Industry reports project strong growth in global smart home security, urging professionals to educate homeowners on secure setups like strong passwords. Multi-TaskingProducts now multitask across needs like security, comfort, entertainment, and energy savings like smart shading for automated vacation modes or TVs that double as art displays like Samsung's The Frame. Emerging "smart surfaces," such as charging countertops, reflect this versatile, lifestyle-fitting approach.

Is your smartwatch just a fun gadget, or a serious medical device? In this episode, Jonathan Wolf is joined by Dr. Malcolm Findlay, a leading consultant cardiologist, to explore the powerful health data available on your wrist. They decode the most misunderstood metric, Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and reveal how your wearable can provide clinical-grade insights into your heart's health. Dr. Findlay explains the counter-intuitive science behind HRV — why more ‘wobble' in your heartbeat is a sign of good health — and breaks down the two opposing nervous systems that control it. He shares the latest on how these devices can accurately detect serious conditions like atrial fibrillation and why he, as a cardiologist, trusts the ECG function on a consumer smartwatch to make diagnoses. For listeners who track their own data, this episode is a practical guide to what your numbers actually mean. Dr. Findlay explains how to interpret your personal HRV trends, what constitutes a significant change, and when you should use the ECG feature. He also debunks common myths about heart rate zones, revealing the level of exercise intensity that truly benefits your long-term health. The episode concludes with an empowering look at how this technology is shifting control into our own hands. Can a simple alert from your watch really help prevent a catastrophic event like a stroke? Discover which metrics matter most and how to use them to guide your wellness journey.
