Recorded live at SOMA 26Dr. Emily Johnston (Cascadia Mountain Institute) and SFC Ezequiel Mendoza (Arctic Dustoff, Fairbanks) deliver a hard-hitting, field-validated look at how standard tactical medical gear and medications actually perform—and fail—in true Arctic and extreme cold conditions. Drawing from cold-soak testing, simulated combat exercises, and real operational experience, they break down battery and fluid-warmer failures, rapid freezing of IV tubing and blood sets, medication storage realities, tourniquet performance, and the critical need for early frostbite interventions like ibuprofen and iloprost far forward. Practical fieldcraft solutions, insulation strategies, and clear calls for better-designed cold-weather medical systems are front and center.Key TakeawaysNo electronic or mechanical medical device (IV pumps, Buddy Lite warmers, etc.) can be trusted to operate unprotected in Arctic conditions—insulate everything, including fluids and tubing.Fluids and tubing freeze extremely quickly and become brittle; passive warming solutions using insulated containers + chemical heat packs can keep fluids viable for many hours even at –20°F to –30°F.Body heat (base-layer transport systems worn against the skin) is the only reliably consistent way to prevent medication freezing during multi-day cold operations; outer pockets, med boxes, and sling packs routinely fail.Current blood administration sets create major clotting and failure points in the cold; shorter, fully insulated, or redesigned kits are needed.Most common tourniquets performed adequately after freeze-thaw cycles; metal windlasses held up better than plastic ones under extreme cold.Reperfusion injury is the dominant mechanism of tissue loss in frostbite. Early NSAID (ibuprofen) loading and rapid iloprost administration dramatically improve outcomes, yet cold-chain and far-forward delivery of iloprost remain unsolved problems.Manufacturer claims about extreme-cold performance often do not match real-world Arctic testing. Independent field validation is essential before relying on any device or medication in these environments.Chapters00:00 – Introduction & Arctic strategic context04:45 – Operational realities: long evacuation times and limited cold-weather experience06:00 – Battery and device cold-soak testing (IV pump & Buddy Lite)09:20 – Functional testing: frozen pumps, ruptured warmer cartridges, and fluid output11:40 – Practical insulation and pre-warming techniques for fluids13:40 – Medication transport failures vs. base-layer body-heat solutions18:50 – Blood product challenges and call for redesigned cold-weather kits20:20 – Tourniquet performance after freeze-thaw cycles21:15 – Frostbite pathophysiology and the critical role of early ibuprofen + iloprost27:20 – Path forward: needed research, device redesign, and medication stability after freezing29:40 – Closing remarks and Q&A discussionFor more content, go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care⁠⁠⁠⁠

Efficacy and safety of pharmacological interventions for the treatment of cocaine use disorder: A systematic review and network meta-analysis Addiction Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is an increasingly widespread concern worldwide. Various pharmacological treatments have been investigated for CUD, but their efficacy remains unclear, and none have been licensed for treatment. This systematic review and network meta-analysis assessed the comparative effectiveness, safety, and acceptability of pharmacological interventions for the treatment of CUD and prevention of relapse. The authors found no convincing evidence for the effectiveness of any pharmacological treatments for cocaine use disorder.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

This week we're celebrating Australian Primary Principals Day – a chance to recognise the incredible work happening in primary schools across the country and the dedicated teachers, support staff and principals who make it possible. To mark the occasion, we sat down with Anthony Boys, Principal of Marist Catholic College, North Shore in Sydney, a co-educational kindergarten to year 12 school. Our conversation explores the vital role principals play in shaping school culture, supporting teachers and helping young people thrive. In this episode, Anthony shares his approach to instructional leadership, explains how distributed leadership works in practice at his school, and reflects on his involvement with the Menzies Leadership Foundation and the influence it has had on his own leadership journey. Host: Rebecca Vukovic Guest: Anthony Boys

We were promised that digital tools would shrink work weeks and boost efficiency—so why do our days feel busier and longer and our organisation's overheads higher?   We are joined, once again, by longtime friend of the Podcast, IT Specialist, Researcher and Digital Analyst Matthew Cowen to try to cut through the tech hype. In this conversation, we discuss:   *  the efficacy and usefulness of LLMs;   *  the link between technology, productivity and business, and whether technology has truly increased productivity;   *  the growing pushback against all things digital and the rise of the desire for physical things; and   *  whether data centres are the Achilles' heel of tech.   The episode, show notes and links to some of the things mentioned during the episode can be found on the ICT Pulse Podcast Page (www.ict-pulse.com/category/podcast/)       Enjoyed the episode?  Do rate the show and leave us a review!       Also, connect with us on: Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/ICTPulse/   Instagram –  https://www.instagram.com/ictpulse/   Twitter –  https://twitter.com/ICTPulse   LinkedIn –  https://www.linkedin.com/company/3745954/admin/   Join our mailing list: http://eepurl.com/qnUtj    Music credit: The Last Word (Oui Ma Chérie), by Andy Narrell Podcast editing support:  Mayra Bonilla Lopez   ---------------

Episode 145 – PVPs for Cats   Cats can be extremely fearful at the Veterinary Clinic and being able to administer medications such as gabapentin before vet visits has been absolutely game-changing for feline practice in the last 10 years or so.   Have a listen as I talk you through PVP options other than gabapentin, what doses I commonly use, and which situations I might use them in. I also talk about a very exciting presentation I listened to from the Veterinary Behaviour Symposium in Seattle this June, on the use of Sileoâ (dexmedetomidine OTM gel) in cats.   Here are the papers I reference in this episode: Van Haaften, K.A., Forsythe, L.R.E., Stelow, E.A. and Bain, M.J., 2017.

In this episode of RAPM Focus, Editor-in-Chief Brian Sites, MD, discusses the optimal analgesic approach for reducing postoperative pain following ambulatory hip arthroscopy with Laura Girón Arango, MD, Joanne Tan, MBBS (Hons), FRACP, and Sinéad Campbell, MB, BCh, BAO, FCAI. Their conversation follows the March 2026 publication of their original research paper, “Analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block for ambulatory hip arthroscopy: a randomized controlled double-blind trial.” Hip arthroscopy is an increasingly common outpatient surgical procedure where postoperative pain can be severe. Peripheral nerve blocks have been evaluated for analgesia following hip arthroscopy; however, there is no consensus on an optimal technique that provides effective local anesthetic-based postoperative analgesia without motor blockade. In this study, the investigators hypothesized that the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block would provide effective motor-sparing analgesia following ambulatory hip arthroscopy, randomizing 94 patients undergoing outpatient hip arthroscopy to receive either a preoperative pain block with 20ml of 0.5% ropivacaine or a sham procedure. Dr. Laura Girón Arango is a staff anesthesiologist at Toronto Western Hospital and Women's College Hospital, and an assistant professor at the University of Toronto. Her clinical and academic work focuses on regional anesthesia and point of care ultrasound. Her research has centered on motor-sparing regional anesthesia techniques for hip and knee surgery, including the PENG, iPACK, and adductor canal blocks. Additional areas of interest include perioperative diaphragm ultrasound assessment and the use of gastric ultrasound to evaluate aspiration risk, particularly in patients receiving GLP-1 receptor agonists. Through this work, she aims to advance perioperative safety, improve individualized pain management, and promote the integration of ultrasound into routine anesthetic practice.  Dr. Joanne Tan is a consultant anesthetist, regional anesthesia lead, and regional anesthesia fellowship supervisor at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Adelaide, Australia, and a clinical lecturer at the Adelaide University. She completed a regional anesthesia fellowship at the Toronto Western Hospital and University of Toronto, and neuroanesthesia and upper GI fellowships at the Royal Adelaide hospital. Her interests include regional anesthesia, POCUS, neuroanesthesia, quality improvement, medical education, and making memes.  Dr. Sinéad Campbell is a staff anesthesiologist at Toronto Western and Women's College Hospital in Toronto, and an assistant professor at the University of Toronto. Her clinical practice focuses on regional anesthesia and neuroanesthesia. Her research interests include regional anesthesia and perioperative cognitive impairment. She is actively involved in clinical education, with a focus on teaching ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia and practical perioperative decision-making to trainees. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

CardioNerds co-chairs Dr. Dinu Balanescu and Dr. Billy Joe Mullinax, along with FIT lead Dr. Shiavax Rao, discuss the evolving landscape of randomized controlled trials in pulmonary embolism with Dr. Jay Giri, interventional cardiologist, Associate Professor of Medicine, and Director of the Cardiovascular Catheterization Laboratories at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. This episode examines the historical evidence behind systemic thrombolysis, the emergence of catheter-directed therapies and mechanical thrombectomy, and the landmark RCTs – STORM-PE, PEERLESS, HI-PEITHO, and PEERLESS II – that are reshaping intermediate-risk PE management. The discussion highlights challenges in PE trial design, the critical importance of clinical deterioration as an endpoint, and why this era represents an unprecedented wave of evidence generation in PE. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Dr. Julia Marques Fernandes. Dr. Dinu Balanescu and Dr. Billy-Joe Mullinax are Co-chairs for the CardioNerds PE Series, developed in collaboration with the PERT Consortium.   Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.

Pearls: Systemic thrombolysis in intermediate-risk PE reduces hemodynamic decompensation but at the cost of ~1.5–2% intracranial hemorrhage risk – a near-zero net benefit that has driven the search for safer catheter-based alternatives. “Focus on clinical deterioration, not mortality” – Due to crossover design in contemporary PE RCTs, control-arm patients who decompensate are rescued with advanced therapies, biasing mortality toward the null. Clinical deterioration is the most informative endpoint to watch in HI-PEITHO, PRAGUE-26, and PEERLESS II. HI-PEITHO is the first large RCT to demonstrate that catheter-directed fibrinolysis plus anticoagulation significantly reduces the composite of PE-related death, cardiorespiratory decompensation, or PE recurrence versus anticoagulation alone (RR 0.39; 95% CI 0.20–0.77; P=0.005), with no intracranial hemorrhage in either arm. The four major upcoming/recently reported PE RCTs (HI-PEITHO, PRAGUE-26, PEERLESS II, PE-TRACT) enroll progressively different risk populations – from the most enriched (HI-PEITHO) to the most permissive (PE-TRACT, which includes intermediate-low risk patients) – enabling a nuanced understanding of which patients benefit most from intervention. PE device clearance follows a fundamentally different FDA pathway than structural heart devices (single-arm safety/efficacy studies vs. mandated RCTs), yet market forces and clinical need have ultimately driven industry and government to sponsor large-scale RCTs – a lesson in how evidence development can evolve organically alongside regulatory frameworks. Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Shiavax Rao. Question #1: What is the current evidence behind advanced PE therapies? Systemic thrombolysis: Sixteen RCTs over 40 years (1972–2014) enrolling nearly 2,000 patients have studied systemic thrombolysis in intermediate-risk PE. The landmark PEITHO trial (n=1,006) showed that tenecteplase reduced the composite of death or hemodynamic collapse (2.6% vs. 5.6%; P=0.015), driven primarily by reduced hemodynamic decompensation (1.6% vs. 5.0%; P=0.002). However, this came at the cost of increased major bleeding (6.3% vs. 1.5%; P

Are light runs (Zone 2 runs) better than heavier workouts? Sophie goes on a semi-manic tangent in her most enthusiastic episode yet to answer whether less intense exercise might actually help your fitness level, aerobic threshold and mitochondrial efficiency. Also, Chris tells a funny marathon story and a viewer question tries to fact-check to the fact checkers on whether walking and running burn the same amount of energy.   Become a supporter of our show today either on Patreon or through PayPal!

Send us Fan MailThe facelift internet loves a clean fight: SMAS vs deep plane, one “best” method, one winner. But what if that whole debate is a distraction from the only thing that actually predicts a great result: whether your surgeon can see how faces age in three dimensions and reverse it with intention? I sit down again with Dr. Ben Talei, Beverly Hills facial plastic surgeon, educator, and relentless anatomy nerd, to talk about what technique labels can't capture and why most studies miss the parts patients care about most. We dig into how surgeon “vision” shows up in real outcomes: jawline clarity, midface shape, eye area youthfulness, skin quality, and even how the smile moves after facial rejuvenation surgery. Ben breaks down the logic behind planes, fixation zones, tissue glide, and why “ligament release” has become an oversimplified story that can block real understanding. We also get practical about neck contour, parotid-related volume, and why small three-dimensional corrections can beat big two-dimensional pulls when you're chasing natural, durable change. From there, we go wider: pricing outrage and why elective cosmetic surgery behaves like a luxury market, the ethics of “profiting from insecurity,” and how social media and AI filters are driving unrealistic expectations for facelift results. We close with high-signal rapid fire on what's underrated (nanofat), what's overrated (biostimulators), why fillers can't “defy gravity,” and whether hyperbaric oxygen or light therapy actually helps healing. If you want a clearer way to think about facelift technique, facial aging, and what excellence looks like, this one is for you.
