Staying up on the latest evidence in neuro rehab? This interview is for you!  Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS interviewed Dr. Timothy Faw, a neuroscientist and physical therapist about his research path - where he's been and where it's going. Tim discusses the work his labs have done in a few areas including the plasticity of gray matter and myelin and the implications on motor learning and movement in spinal cord injury. He also discusses tactics on eccentric gait training - that are basically the opposite of what we think of as high intensity - and how they are impacting outcomes. More recently his work has led him to study genetic factors in neurologic recovery including the markers for better or worse outcomes and drug trials. And to ensure listeners leave the conversation with action items, he'll provide his takeaways and clinical pearls that you can start incorporating immediately. Tim emphasizes that rehabilitation is about more than just intensity—it's about creating meaningful, challenging, and novel movement experiences that engage the brain's adaptive capabilities. Clinicians and students interested in cutting-edge neuro rehab approaches can contact Dr. Faw at tfaw@som.umaryland.edu for more information.

Dr Charlie Andrews talks to Dr John Leeds. John Leeds is a Consultant Pancreaticobiliary Physician and Endoscopist based at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle and an Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer based in the Population Health Sciences Institute at Newcastle University. He is involved in research in pancreaticobiliary disorders including benign and malignant conditions as well as outcomes from therapeutic/advanced endoscopy.John is a member of the British Society of Gastroenterology and Pancreatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland. He serves on the endoscopy and Pancreas committees for BSG and is the website lead for PSGBI.He is also a founder member of the BSG Pancreas Clinical Research Group which is coordinating research for the society.Key Learnings from this episode:Challenges in Early Detection of Pancreatic Cancer • Pancreatic cancer is often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to the deep location of the pancreas and the lack of early symptoms. • Tumors in the body and tail of the pancreas can grow significantly before causing symptoms, often invading major arteries or veins, making them inoperable. • Tumors in the head of the pancreas may present earlier due to bile duct obstruction, leading to jaundice, but even these are often detected late. Early Symptoms and Red Flags • Early symptoms are vague or absent, making early diagnosis difficult. • Possible early indicators include: • Weight loss (often a sign of advanced disease). • New-onset diabetes, particularly in individuals with a normal BMI or without typical risk factors for type 2 diabetes. • Jaundice, which is a significant red flag and often indicates a serious underlying condition. • Classic signs like painless jaundice and Courvoisier's sign (palpable gallbladder) are important but not always present. Limitations of Current Screening Methods • There is no reliable biomarker or screening test for pancreatic cancer: • CA19-9 is not suitable as a screening tool due to its lack of specificity (elevated in other conditions). • Imaging techniques like CT scans or MRIs are used but have limitations, including incidental findings that may lead to unnecessary anxiety (“scanxiety”) and over-investigation. • Screening is currently limited to high-risk groups, such as those with familial pancreatic cancer syndromes or hereditary pancreatitis. High-Risk Groups for Screening • Familial pancreatic cancer accounts for less than 10% of cases. Criteria for screening include: • Multiple family members with pancreatic cancer, especially diagnosed under age 50–60. • Genetic syndromes like BRCA mutations, familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), and Peutz-Jeghers syndrome. • Hereditary pancreatitis patients have an increased risk but are harder to screen due to pre-existing pancreatic abnormalities. Emerging Research and Future Directions • Studies are exploring potential biomarkers, such as microbiome signatures in the pancreas, which might help identify high-risk individuals in the future. • Trials like the EuroPAC study focus on surveillance protocols for high-risk individuals using imaging techniques like MRI or endoscopic ultrasound. • Research into new-onset diabetes as a potential marker for pancreatic cancer is ongoing but currently has a low yield due to the high prevalence of type 2 diabetes unrelated to malignancy. Considerations for Screening and Surveillance • Screening should be carefully targeted to avoid over-diagnosis and unnecessary investigations. • The psychological impact of screening (e.g., anxiety from incidental findings) must be considered. • Smoking cessation is emphasized as smoking is a significant risk factor for pancreatic cancer. Advances in Treatment Approaches • PET-CT scans are increasingly used to detect systemic disease that might not be evident on standard CT scans. • Neoadjuvant treatments (therapy before surgery) are being...

The last episode in our series with agricultural communicator, Dr. Cara Lawson, talks about how people navigate risk. Where do they go for information when faced with a crisis? And how do they know those resources are reliable? Cara, an assistant professor in the Department of Agricultural Communication, Education, and Leadership, studies the science behind the process of assessing information and how much time it takes to find vital answers. Knowing where people typically find and process important information helps communicators craft messages for sharing widely.

Demographic data – like age, gender, and location – are easy to quantify in a survey. But feelings, thoughts, attitudes? Social scientists use measurements to assess values, perceptions, and other non-tangible factors in surveys. Dr. Cara Lawson with the Department of Agricultural Communication, Education, and Leadership at Ohio State developed a new measurement for her national survey to test public perception of the farmer's role in climate risk.

How do perceive climate risk? It may depend on where you live and what values you hold dear. Agricultural communicator Dr. Cara Lawson launched a national survey to learn more about how Americans feel about climate risks. She hopes to learn how personal values, type of community, and region where we live may impact those perceptions. Lawson, an assistant professor in the Department of Agricultural Communication, Education, and Leadership, was awarded funding for her research project from the new AgTech Innovation Hub, a collaboration between CFAES and Nationwide.

Academic Research   Researchers Use GPT-4 To Generate Feedback on Scientific Manuscripts https://hai.stanford.edu/news/researchers-use-gpt-4-generate-feedback-scientific-manuscripts https://arxiv.org/abs/2310.01783 Two episodes ago I shared the news that for some major scientific publications, it's okay to write papers with ChatGPT, but not to review them. But… Combining a large language model and open-source peer-reviewed scientific papers, researchers at Stanford built a tool they hope can help other researchers polish and strengthen their drafts. Scientific research has a peer problem. There simply aren't enough qualified peer reviewers to review all the studies. This is a particular challenge for young researchers and those at less well-known institutions who often lack access to experienced mentors who can provide timely feedback. Moreover, many scientific studies get “desk rejected” — summarily denied without peer review. James Zou, and his research colleagues, were able to test using GPT-4 against human reviews 4,800 real Nature + ICLR papers. It found AI reviewers overlap with human ones as much as humans overlap with each other, plus, 57% of authors find them helpful and 83% said it beats at least one of their real human reviewers.     Academic Writing with GPT-3.5 (ChatGPT): Reflections on Practices, Efficacy and Transparency https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3616961.3616992 Oz Buruk, from Tampere University in Finland, published a paper giving some really solid advice (and sharing his prompts) for getting ChatGPT to help with academic writing. He uncovered 6 roles: Chunk Stylist Bullet-to-Paragraph Talk Textualizer Research Buddy Polisher Rephraser He includes examples of the results, and the prompts he used for it. Handy for people who want to use ChatGPT to help them with their writing, without having to resort to trickery     Considerations for Adapting Higher Education Technology Course for AI Large Language Models: A Critical Review of the Impact of ChatGPT https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/machine-learning-with-applications/articles-in-press This is a journal pre-proof from the Elsevier journal "Machine Learning with Applications", and takes a look at how ChatGPT might impact assessment in higher education. Unfortunately it's an example of how academic publishing can't keep up with the rate of technology change, because the four academics from University of Prince Mugrin who wrote this submitted it on 31 May, and it's been accepted into the Journal in November - and guess what? Almost everything in the paper has changed. They spent 13 of the 24 pages detailing exactly which assessment questions ChatGPT 3 got right or wrong - but when I re-tested it on some sample questions, it got nearly all correct. They then tested AI Detectors - and hey, we both know that's since changed again, with the advice that none work. And finally they checked to see if 15 top universities had AI policies. It's interesting research, but tbh would have been much, much more useful in May than it is now. And that's a warning about some of the research we're seeing. You need to really check carefully about whether the conclusions are still valid - eg if they don't tell you what version of OpenAI's models they've tested, then the conclusions may not be worth much. It's a bit like the logic we apply to students "They've not mastered it…yet"     A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) Analysis of ChatGPT in the Medical Literature: Concise Review https://www.jmir.org/2023/1/e49368/ They looked at 160 papers published on PubMed in the first 3 months of ChatGPT up to the end of March 2023 - and the paper was written in May 2023, and only just published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research. I'm pretty sure that many of the results are out of date - for example, it specifically lists unsuitable uses for ChatGPT including "writing scientific papers with references, composing resumes, or writing speeches", and that's definitely no longer the case.     Emerging Research and Policy Themes on Academic Integrity in the Age of Chat GPT and Generative AI https://ajue.uitm.edu.my/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/12-Maria.pdf This paper, from a group of researchers in the Philippines, was written in August. The paper referenced 37 papers, and then looked at the AI policies of the 20 top QS Rankings universities, especially around academic integrity & AI. All of this helped the researchers create a 3E Model - Enforcing academic integrity, Educating faculty and students about the responsible use of AI, and Encouraging the exploration of AI's potential in academia.   Can ChatGPT solve a Linguistics Exam? https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/2311/2311.02499.pdf If you're keeping track of the exams that ChatGPT can pass, then add to it linguistics exams, as these researchers from the universities of Zurich & Dortmund, came  to the conclusion that, yes, chatgpt can pass the exams, and said "Overall, ChatGPT reaches human-level competence and         performance without any specific training for the task and has performed similarly to the student cohort of that year on a first-year linguistics exam" (Bonus points for testing its understanding of a text about Luke Skywalker and unmapped galaxies)   And, I've left the most important research paper to last: Math Education with Large Language Models: Peril or Promise? https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4641653 Researchers at University of Toronto and Microsoft Research have published a paper that is the first large scale, pre-registered controlled experiment using GPT-4, and that looks at Maths education. It basically studied the use of Large Language Models as personal tutors. In the experiment's learning phase, they gave participants practice problems and manipulated two key factors in a between-participants design: first, whether they were required to attempt a problem before or after seeing the correct answer, and second, whether participants were shown only the answer or were also exposed to an LLM-generated explanation of the answer. Then they test participants on new test questions to assess how well they had learned the underlying concepts. Overall they found that LLM-based explanations positively impacted learning relative to seeing only correct answers. The benefits were largest for those who attempted problems on their own first before consulting LLM explanations, but surprisingly this trend held even for those participants who were exposed to LLM explanations before attempting to solve practice problems on their own. People said they learn more when they were given explanations, and thought the subsequent test was easier They tried it using standard GPT-4 and got a 1-3 standard deviation improvement; and using a customised GPT got a 1 1/2 - 4 standard deviation improvement. In the tests, that was basically the difference between getting a 50% score and a 75% score. And the really nice bonus in the paper is that they shared the prompt's they used to customise the LLM This is the one paper out of everything I've read in the last two months that I'd recommend everybody listening to read.       News on Gen AI in Education   About 1 in 5 U.S. teens who've heard of ChatGPT have used it for schoolwork https://policycommons.net/artifacts/8245911/about-1-in-5-us/9162789/ Some research from the Pew Research Center in America says 13% of all US teens have used it in their schoolwork - a quarter of all 11th and 12th graders, dropping to 12% of 7th and 8th graders. This is American data, but pretty sure it's the case everywhere.     UK government has published 2 research reports this week. Their Generative AI call for evidence had over 560  responses from all around the education system and is informing UK future policy design. https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/generative-artificial-intelligence-in-education-call-for-evidence     One data point right at the end of the report was that 78% of people said they, or their institution, used generative AI in an educational setting   Two-thirds of respondents reported a positive result or impact from using genAI. Of the rest, they were divided between 'too early to tell', a bit of +positive and a bit of negative, and some negative - mainly around cheating by students and low-quality outputs.   GenAI is being used by educators for creating personalized teaching resources and assisting in lesson planning and administrative tasks. One Director of teaching and learning said "[It] makes lesson planning quick with lots of great ideas for teaching and learning" Teachers report GenAI as a time-saver and an enhancer of teaching effectiveness, with benefits also extending to student engagement and inclusivity. One high school principal said "Massive positive impacts already. It marked coursework that would typically take 8-13 hours in 30 minutes (and gave feedback to students). " Predominant uses include automating marking, providing feedback, and supporting students with special needs and English as an additional language.   The goal for more teachers is to free up more time for high-impact instruction.     Respondents reported five broad challenges that they had experienced in adopting GenAI: • User knowledge and skills - this was the major thing - people feeling the need for more help to use GenAI effectively • Performance of tools - including making stuff up • Workplace awareness and attitudes • Data protection adherence • Managing student use • Access   However, the report also highlight common worries - mainly around AI's tendency to generate false or unreliable information. For History, English and language teachers especially, this could be problematic when AI is used for assessment and grading   There are three case studies at the end of the report - a college using it for online formative assessment with real-time feedback; a high school using it for creating differentiated lesson resources; and a group of 57 schools using it in their learning management system.   The Technology in Schools survey The UK government also did The Technology in Schools survey which gives them information about how schools in England specifically are set up for using technology and will help them make policy to level the playing field on use of tech in education which also brings up equity when using new tech like GenAI. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/technology-in-schools-survey-report-2022-to-2023 This is actually a lot of very technical stuff about computer infrastructure but the interesting table I saw was Figure 2.7, which asked teachers which sources they most valued when choosing which technology to use. And the list, in order of preference was: Other teachers Other schools Research bodies Leading practitioners (the edu-influencers?) Leadership In-house evaluations Social media Education sector publications/websites Network, IT or Business Managers Their Academy Strust   My take is that the thing that really matters is what other teachers think - but they don't find out from social media, magazines or websites   And only 1 in 5 schools have an evaluation plan for monitoring effectiveness of technology.       Australian uni students are warming to ChatGPT. But they want more clarity on how to use it https://theconversation.com/australian-uni-students-are-warming-to-chatgpt-but-they-want-more-clarity-on-how-to-use-it-218429 And in Australia, two researchers - Jemma Skeat from Deakin Uni and Natasha Ziebell from Melbourne Uni published some feedback from surveys of university students and academics, and found in the period June-November this year, 82% of students were using generative AI, with 25% using it in the context of university learning, and 28% using it for assessments. One third of first semester student agreed generative AI would help them learn, but by the time they got to second semester, that had jumped to two thirds There's a real divide that shows up between students and academics. In the first semester 2023, 63% of students said they understood its limitations - like hallucinations  and 88% by semester two. But in academics, it was just 14% in semester one, and barely more - 16% - in semester two   22% of students consider using genAI in assessment as cheating now, compared to 72% in the first semester of this year!! But both academics and students wanted clarify on the rules - this is a theme I've seen across lots of research, and heard from students The Semester one report is published here: https://education.unimelb.edu.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0010/4677040/Generative-AI-research-report-Ziebell-Skeat.pdf     Published 20 minutes before we recorded the podcast, so more to come in a future episode:   The AI framework for Australian schools was released this morning. https://www.education.gov.au/schooling/announcements/australian-framework-generative-artificial-intelligence-ai-schools The Framework supports all people connected with school education including school leaders, teachers, support staff, service providers, parents, guardians, students and policy makers. The Framework is based on 6 guiding principles: Teaching and Learning  Human and Social Wellbeing Transparency Fairness Accountability Privacy, Security and Safety The Framework will be implemented from Term 1 2024. Trials consistent with these 6 guiding principles are already underway across jurisdictions. A key concern for Education Ministers is ensuring the protection of student privacy. As part of implementing the Framework, Ministers have committed $1 million for Education Services Australia to update existing privacy and security principles to ensure students and others using generative AI technology in schools have their privacy and data protected. The Framework was developed by the National AI in Schools Taskforce, with representatives from the Commonwealth, all jurisdictions, school sectors, and all national education agencies - Educational Services Australia (ESA), Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA), Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (AITSL), and Australian Education Research Organisation (AERO).

Research isn't always planned. But when a community needs quick answers in a crisis, research and data can help inform decision making. Using Haley Shoemaker's Ohio State University Extension connection to the community and research facilities at the Food, Science, and Technology Department in the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences, Haley and researcher Jeff Hattey developed a protocol to sample plant tissue after a train derailment in East Palestine. To get the complete results from the Ohio Emergency Management Agency, visit https://ema.ohio.gov/media-publications/east-palestine-derailment-info/testing-results.

Every spring, lawn mowing season begins. But what if you could do LESS work and still have a great looking lawn? That's what Drs. Dom Petrella and Ed Nangle want to find out. The pair, from Ohio State ATI and the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science, teamed up with the Ohio Department of Agriculture to test fertilizer recommendations for home lawns. They hope to save homeowners time and money. Establishing a new lawn? Visit ohioline.osu.edu for fact sheet HYG-4027 from Ed Nangle and co-authors.

Golf course turf management is a delicate balance between environmental factors, turfgrass varieties, nutrients, and pest management. Dr. Ed Nangle shares his latest research project focusing on recommended nitrogen rates for new turfgrass cultivars popping up at newly renovated golf courses. And Dr. Dom Petrella explains how undergrads get hands-on experience in turfgrass research at Ohio State. Both specialize in turfgrass science with the Department of Crop Science and Ohio State ATI.

Testing turfgrass cultivars for shade tolerance traditionally involves screens. But grass grows in a wide range of shade conditions in home lawns, golf courses, and stadiums. Dr. Dom Petrella from the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science and Ohio State ATI explains how he'd like to optimize testing methods with gels to create cultivars more suited to their actual growing environment. And colleague Dr. Ed Nangle chimes in for our Dream Big segment.

Invasive pest, the spotted lanternfly (SLF), has been reported in four Ohio counties and 14 U.S. states. The brightly colored red and grey leafhopper poses an economic threat to Ohio's specialty crop producers. Entomologist Dr. Ashley Leach's new research project detects SLF in the environment using biomonitoring, a process that tests for DNA left behind by the destructive pest. Early detection of the SLF could help producers better prepare and possibly reduce the damaging effects of SLF. Visit stopslf.org to learn how to stop the SLF.

Long standing Integrated Pest Management strategies are getting a makeover. Specialty crop entomologist Dr. Ashley Leach is validating those practices to find out what's still working and what might need a tweak to protect pollinators. In the project with Dr. Reed Johnson, from the Department of Entomology, they've discovered some off target outcomes from reduced pesticide use. And Ashley dreams big that ugly produce from the grocery store finds a place in your fridge.

People use probiotics to improve gut health and boost their ability to fight off disease. It's the same with poultry. Producers add probiotics to feed. But how exactly does it work? That's what Dr. Lisa Bielke, associate professor in the Department of Animal Sciences, hopes to find out. Her current project focuses on the processes in the microbiome that lead to healthier birds and could help reduced antibiotic usage in the poultry industry.

We all have our favorites foods, but what makes us like some foods more than others? It's all about taste and liking. Professor of flavor chemistry in the Department of Food Science and Technology, Dr. Devin Peterson, explains what goes into making healthy foods taste better. It's more than you think! We talk about his latest research project to change the flavor profile of typically bitter American hazelnuts to help producers compete in the market.

Professor Melanie Plourde, a full professor at the Université de Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada, found a disconnect in the important role of omega-3 for the brain. So she dived deep into this, filling in the gaps with her research program around two themes: (1) to understand how omega-3s are transferred from the blood to the brain, (2) to maximize omega-3s transport to the brain. In this episode, she joins Corinna Bellizzi to take us to the emerging research world of omega-3 as it relates to brain health. Professor Melanie investigates further by sharing how much of the foods we consume, and the nutrition we get from omega-3 can impact later expressions of health challenges. She then shares how we can supplement it to our diet and offers us a look into her recent research on how lipids traveling in the blood are transported to our brain. Key takeaways from this episode:- How omega-3s affect brain health- How nutrition impacts later expressions of health issues- The different genome types in relation to diseases- How people can augment their diet on a daily basis Guest Social Links:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/m%C3%A9lanie-plourde-949a1636/Research Article: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0955286322002492?fbclid=IwAR1tnRpHEWsbZEwtWatSZK0EK8Q2NatYO3mZSSuuHWN-cP2bDkcyAzG4W34#!

In this interview we will examine the emerging research priorities within pre-hospital care from the perspective of priority and importance. I will be speaking with Sarah McLaughlin – a senior research fellow with affiliations with Essex & Herts Air Ambulance (EHAAT) and Anglia Ruskin University. I will also be speaking with Lisa Ramage, Lisa is a PHEM trainee in the East of England and the chair of PHOTON. PHOTON is a group of non-consultant grade, pre-hospital, doctors with an ambition to expand the quality and reach of research within pre-hospital care. In this conversation we are going to examine a national Delphi study which is defining the national research priorities within pre-hospital care in the contemporary climate. We will also: Examine what is a Delphi study Why is it an important time for empirical research and audit at the moment within pre-hospital care Sarah's EHAAT Delphi study as an analogue of the national PHOTON study The process of a Delphi study in terms of rounds and refinement of the questions. How does it achieve consensus? What are the advantages to a Delphi study? Ethical approval (the panel and process) Topics that have emerged from the process Why is it important to study end points that don't always involve mortality (look at 30 day outcome, CPC neurological outcome, discharge data, and patient centred outcomes) How does this inform national strategic direction and focus Final thoughts from Sarah and Lisa & take-home messages.

Medicine should improve people's health. Yet, Western medicine focuses on symptoms, often disregarding how our bodies function as a system. Over the years, there is an emerging trend of leveraging functional medicine to tackle this very problem by using a more holistic approach. Did you know that the approach of functional medicine is not new? In fact, Chinese medicine works similarly. Functional medicine is not only about integrating these two medicinal disciplines, but it's also creating a new standard for healthcare. Stem cell therapy is found to be effective for so many conditions, from autoimmune diseases to neurological problems. With increasing research on the treatment, stem cell therapy continues to show potential positive results for more health conditions. It also has powerful anti-ageing properties.    In this episode, stem cell therapy pioneer Dr Joy Kong joins us to share her experience in the medical industry and why she focused on stem cell therapy. She shares its numerous benefits and how people can use it based on their conditions. Our health functions as an overall system. It's no longer enough to depend on the Western approach of treating symptoms — we need to get to the root problems.   If you want to learn more about fighting ageing and diseases through stem cell therapy, then this episode is for you! Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Discover what stem cell therapy is and how it can treat various conditions.  Understand the importance of treating root problems rather than symptoms.  Learn how to leverage stem cell therapy depending on your goals.

Are All MSCs Created Equal? from Dr Joy Kong American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy THEA Center for Regenerative Medicine Tiger of Beijing: The Inspirational Memoir of a Fierce Regenerative Medicine Physician by Dr Joy Kong The Web That Has No Weaver: Understanding Chinese Medicine by Ted Kaptchuk Connect with Dr Joy: Uplyft Center | Chara Biologics | LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube Episode Highlights [02:53] Dr Joy's Background Dr Joy moved from China to the US at 20 years old. She wrote a book detailing her 3-year journey of getting into the US and adapting to the culture. Growing up in a Chinese family, Dr Joy was used to both Western and Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine looks at the human body as a system and complex web. This is what Western medicine lacks. When trying to integrate Chinese and Western medicine together, Dr Joy ran into the problem of different languages. Then, she discovered the emerging field of functional and anti-ageing medicine, which also treats the body as a system. [09:44] Healthcare as We Know It Needs to Change Despite having the biggest spending per capita on healthcare, America remains rampant with obesity and chronic diseases.  Over time, people began accepting Chinese medicine practices like acupuncture.  It's the same thing with stem cell therapy. Its benefits are now more widely understood. [13:51] What Is Stem Cell Therapy?  All our tissues contain stem cells, and it's only until they form organs that they create specialised cells. The gold standard used in stem cell therapy is mesenchymal stem cells because of its more general function. Mesenchymal stem cells modulate the environment they're in. Listen to the full episode to hear Dr Joy's explanation of how these stem cells create a coordinating effect. Stem cell therapy can produce incredible results and transform people's lives. [20:42] Are All Mesenchymal Stem Cells Equal? Dr Joy uses birth tissue-derived stem cells from healthy births.  In her research, she found that birth tissue-derived stem cells are better than those derived from bone marrow and fat.   Birth tissue-derived stem cells are more potent because they're primitive, active, have more anti-inflammatory capabilities, and can shift your immune system.  All embryonic and adult stem cells have the potential to cause tumour formation and promote existing cancer.  However, birth tissue-derived stem cells don't have this potential and can also detect cancer. [28:17] How to Use Stem Cell Therapy Utilising stem cell therapy depends on your goals. For example, if you're an athlete who injured your ligaments or tendon, the therapy involves a direct injection on the injury. Older adults with chronic inflammatory conditions will need a systemic approach to regenerate the whole body. Dr Joy uses both IV injections and direct injections to the knee for patients with osteoarthritis. The therapy is so potent that it can help change the internal environment of your body. Inflammation can actually make stem cells work better. You don't need to wait to get your inflammation levels down before getting the therapy. [35:09] Benefits of Stem Cell Therapy Dr Joy observed that stem cell therapy can help people with various kinds of systemic conditions.  Even if you inject the stem cells in one area, they will eventually get into the bloodstream and become systemic.  For patients with a significant illness, Dr Joy recommends getting at least 2-3 sessions. Meanwhile, Dr Joy recommends a session every 3-6 months to address anti-ageing concerns. [38:53] Getting to Where She Is Dr Joy got into medicine because she wanted to make a difference in people's lives. She worked in psychiatry before, and while the medicine helped patients, they did not address root causes. Stem cells are currently the most holistic treatment available. It's not injecting molecules — it's injecting intelligence. She loves learning different disciplines, and she realised how all the organs have common themes. [43:11] Functional Medicine Will Become the Standard  Functional medicine will someday become the standard approach in medicine because it addresses root causes and not just symptoms. It's a grassroots movement because it's people and patients who will advocate for it, rather than doctors.  More people are realising that conventional medicine is no longer enough. [45:40] Emerging Research in Stem Cell Therapy  There's now more research on stem cell therapy. Currently, most of it focuses on autoimmune diseases.  There's also research on diabetes, neurological conditions, stroke, injuries, inflammatory diseases, autism, and addiction, among others. In addition, it can increase lifespan by about 30% and regenerate your brain, eyes, and more. Listen to the full episode to hear more about stem cell research! [50:38] What Happens as We Age?  We run out of stem cells as we age because of inflammation. We also keep using them throughout life. Thus, it's not recommended to keep activating your own stem cells.  When we're born, one in 10,000 cells is a mesenchymal stem cell. By our 40s, this drops to one in 400,000, then one in 2 million by our 80s.  Stem cells are the engine for regeneration. Stem cell therapy is becoming more accessible worldwide. [54:41] Should We Bank Our Children's Cells?  Dr Joy shares that it is useful to bank your own child's cells. But using other people's cells is also okay.  When we put stem cells into our bodies, they will be activated and eventually die off.  If you're trying to bank your child's cells for your own use, the tissue bank may not release it for you.  Stem cell therapy is going to advance so that you probably don't even need to bank your child's cells. 7 Powerful Quotes ‘There's no prejudice. It just all about, “Okay, for this, this Chinese medicine work much better. And for this problem, okay, let's do this Western medicine. That works much better than the Chinese medicine.”' ‘The Western medicine doesn't yet have a system to understand how you put all these relationships together. That's where it's lacking. And that's where I wanted to borrow some of the wisdom from Eastern medicine, where you can look at the body from a system point of view.' ‘I think hope is really important. There's so many conditions where traditional doctors just said, “There's no more we can do.” And then they come to do stem cells, and they get incredible results. So we are transforming people's lives.' ‘The younger stem cells from birth tissue have much better capability of detecting that cancer, so it can tell the cancer to die.' ‘There has been evidence that high inflammation actually make the stem cell work better. Basically, the inflammation of the body sends signals, so they make the cells more active. It's a double edged sword.' ‘No, I'm not the boss. I'm just really driven and really want to understand. I think it's intellectual curiosity and it's passion because I went into medicine to really make a difference for people's lives.' ‘I call stem cells the engine for regeneration, and everything else we're doing, like the hyperbaric, like the nutritional therapy, light therapy, all these things are the fuel. Eventually, it fills the body, but it also fills the engine. The engine needs all these important factors, but you still need the engine. If you don't have that engine, you're not going anywhere.'

Our products undergo extensive scientific studies, including human clinical trials, and we conduct strict quality controls and quality assurance reviews at all stages. We also believe that the purity of our raw materials is just as vital in producing our superior formulas. Karallief is deeply motivated by our mission to do good and contribute positively to healthcare in society, which is why it is so important to us to raise scientific and quality standards in the herbal industry.

Biopesticides sound like a fantastic idea—made from natural materials, target specific pests and biological processes, better for the environment. So why aren't more producers using them on farms? New research from Dr. Guil Signorini, an assistant professor in the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science, aims to survey professional agricultural producers, consultants, crop advisors, and Extension educators to find out why biopesticides aren't more widely implemented.

A challenging start for newborn male dairy calves, including transportation and mixing with unfamiliar animals, can drive higher antibiotic use. Could better communication with livestock buyers help inform farmers' calf care practices? That's one idea. A new project with Dr. Jessica Pempek, associate professor in the Department of Animal Science, and PI Dr. Greg Habing, with The Ohio State College of Veterinary Medicine, hopes to show producers the benefits of improved newborn calf care before they're sold.

It's been two years since the COVID pandemic reached the U.S. How have practices like wearing masks and social distancing evolved? Hopkins researcher Dominick Shattuck tells us about a global survey of Facebook users that collects data about pandemic precautions and vaccine hesitancy. The aim is to improve the effectiveness of public-health messages. Check out the COVID Behaviors Dashboard here. Then, University of Maryland cardiologist Dr. Scott Jerome describes the connection between COVID and cardiac problems, like a racing or skipping heartbeat--and what should prompt a visit to the doctor.  Read more about cardiac problems after COVID here: Nature, "Heart-disease risk soars after COVID — even with a mild case" Science, "COVID-19 takes serious toll on heart health—a full year after recovery" See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we are very excited to share an amazing and hope-inspiring conversation with all of our listeners! We are joined by Dr. Leila Wood and Dr. Jeff Temple from The University of Texas Medical Branch Center for Violence Prevention to talk about the latest research on domestic violence and how this can help us all make meaningful progress in improving people's lives! We get into some of the impactful findings that Leila and Jeff have been working with, as well as some of the academic work on the horizon, as we situate the most notable developments in prevention strategies and practices for children, emerging adults, and adults too. Leila and Jeff unpack the important idea of a broader prism of prevention, noting the various prongs of economic and structural actions that can make a difference in homes. We also hear about how opening the lens through which we view preventative action can have immediate effects and underlines the importance of accessible research. The conversation touches on the five goals of prevention, a hugely important framework that deserves its own episode entirely! So, to hear it all, be sure to listen in with us and our great guests! Please note that this episode carries a trigger warning, as we refer to child abuse, intimate partner violence, and sexual assault.
