In this episode of the Behind the Knife Global Surgery Series, we take a closer look at the real-world complexity of global surgery partnerships between high-income institutions and partners in the Global South. Words like equity, bidirectionality, partnership, and decolonization are used often in global surgery—but what do they actually mean when funding, mobility, research access, publication opportunities, and institutional power are unequally distributed?Host Mike Mallah is joined by Dr. Hugo Stark from George Hospital in South Africa and Dr. Sydney Bertram from Emory for a candid discussion about the benefits and tensions of collaborations in an unequal world. Together, they explore how global surgery partnerships can create meaningful educational and clinical value, how good intentions can still reproduce unequal systems, and how surgeons can build partnerships that are locally useful, honest about power, and ultimately centered on better surgical care for patients.Hosts/Guests:- Mike M.

In today's episode, we spoke with Neil D. Gross, MD, FACS. Dr Gross is the medical director of Perioperative Surgical Services, section chief of Oropharynx Cancer, Surgery, and professor of head and neck surgery at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. In our exclusive interview, Dr Gross discussed the key biological and clinical distinctions between cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC), noting that although BCC is more indolent and less responsive to systemic therapies, including immunotherapy, CSCC carries a meaningful risk of nodal and distant metastases and has demonstrated robust responses to anti–PD-1 therapy, with approximately half of patients achieving a significant response.He emphasized the importance of early multidisciplinary evaluation, with resectability serving as a critical first branch point in treatment planning. For patients with unresectable or metastatic CSCC, anti–PD-1 therapy is now the established standard of care. For borderline resectable patients, such as those at risk for significant functional loss from surgery, upfront systemic therapy offers the potential to preserve function and achieve cure. For resectable, high-risk patients, Gross highlighted the role of adjuvant cemiplimab-rwlc (Libtayo) following surgery and radiation, based on data from the phase 3 C-POST trial (NCT03969004).The discussion also addressed toxicity considerations in elderly and immunocompromised patients, populations Gross described as particularly high risk and underserved. He noted that although anti–PD-1 therapies are generally well tolerated, serious toxicities remain possible, underscoring the importance of careful patient monitoring in both adjuvant and investigational neoadjuvant settings.Finally, Gross highlighted the actively accruing phase 3 NRG-HN014 trial (NCT06568172), a National Cancer Institute–sponsored cooperative group study open across the United States, Canada, and Australia, which is evaluating a neoadjuvant approach vs upfront surgery in patients with advanced resectable CSCC. He also noted that more mature data from C-POST, as well as long-term phase 2 neoadjuvant findings, are anticipated later this year. [CS1]https://faculty.mdanderson.org/profiles/neil_gross.html

Dr. Kim shares his own health crisis (a heart attack at age 33 caused by undiagnosed Bartonella and mold toxin exposure) and explains how mycotoxins like aflatoxin, ochratoxin, and gliotoxin damage cell membranes, disrupt bile flow, fuel biofilm formation, and contribute to neuroinflammation, mast cell activation, and parasitic susceptibility. The conversation dives deep into the science of cell danger response, phospholipid membrane repair, drainage pathway support, and why aggressive detox protocols can backfire without proper preparation. Dr. Whitfield connects these findings to his clinical work with breast implant illness patients, including PCR testing data showing biofilm formation on breast implants and its relationship to environmental toxin exposure. Topics covered include: How mold toxicity can mimic cardiac symptoms and trigger misdiagnosis The role of phospholipids, SPM-based fish oil, and essential fatty acids in repairing damaged cell membranes Why biofilms form and how they protect bacteria, mold, and heavy metals from the immune system The gut-liver-bile connection and enterohepatic recirculation of mycotoxins Nervous system regulation, mast cell activation, and why "safety" must come before aggressive detox Practical guidance on binders, glutathione precautions, sleep hygiene, and pre-surgical detox protocols—————————————————————————— Ready to take the next step?Book a Discovery Call → https://discovery.drrobertwhitfield.com (https://discovery.drrobertwhitfield.com/)Learn about the SHARP Method (Strategic Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program) → https://www.drrobertwhitfield.com/sharpJoin Dr. Rob's Circle (private community, 390+ members) → https://drrobscircle.com (https://drrobscircle.com/)——————————————————————————Dr. Robert Whitfield, MD, FACS is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Austin, Texas, specializing in breast implant illness (BII), explant surgery, and holistic surgical recovery.

About Bright Spots Ventures: Bright Spots Ventures exists to help healthcare organizations accelerate the adoption of what's actually working. Healthcare does not suffer from a lack of innovation. It suffers from slow adoption, fragmented learning, and limited trust between stakeholders. For example, one health plan or provider may solve a major operational or clinical challenge while others spend the next 5–10 years rediscovering the same answer. We close that gap by creating trusted environments where health plans, providers, and innovators can share practical strategies, operational lessons, and scalable models that drive measurable improvement. Through the Bright Spots in Healthcare podcast, leadership councils, executive roundtables, curated events, and strategic advisory work, we help organizations build credibility, strengthen strategic relationships, and accelerate the spread of proven ideas across healthcare.

Sustaining critical care delivery in today's healthcare environment requires more than resilience—it also calls for collective solutions to systemic challenges. In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, Past President Jose L. Pascual, MD, PhD, FRCS(C), FACS, FCCM, elaborates on the session presented during the 2026 Critical Care Congress, Critical Care Under Pressure: Sustaining the Workforce and Infrastructure Amid Rising Demands. Joined by host Marilyn Bulloch, PharmD, BCPS, FCCM, Dr. Pascual examines the complex forces reshaping critical care, from shrinking ICU capacity and hospital closures to persistent workforce shortages and shifting training pipelines. He highlights concerning trends such as reduced entry into certain critical care pathways, particularly anesthesiology. At the same time, he points to encouraging growth in other pathways, with increasing participation from clinicians in emergency medicine, neurology, and surgery. The conversation underscores disparities in access to care, particularly for rural and community hospitals. Dr. Pascual explores the tension between the regionalization of specialized care and the need to maintain equitable access across health systems, emphasizing the importance of thoughtful resource distribution and collaboration across institutions. Beyond workforce numbers, the evolution of leadership in critical care is also impactful, including the migration of experienced clinicians into administrative roles and the potential need for cyclical leadership models that maintain clinical engagement. Meeting these challenges requires innovation and cooperation. Dr. Pascual highlights advancements in education, particularly the expansion of simulation-based training, as critical tools for maintaining competency and improving team performance.

We're talking about Breast Implant Illness — BII. An estimated 400,000 women believe their implants are making them sick. Tens of thousands of adverse reports have been filed with the FDA. And with roughly 300,000 implant procedures performed every year in the US, this is a public health conversation we can no longer ignore. Women are reporting fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, hair loss, and autoimmune-like symptoms — often dismissed by doctors for years. The research is ongoing, but the FDA has added new warnings, and the conversation around patient safety and informed consent is finally gaining real traction Our guest, Sean Doherty, MD, FACS, is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Boston. Dr. Doherty is seeing an increasing number of patients seeking guidance on BII, including those considering implant removal or replacement. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. How breast implant illness (BII) is defined, and what has contributed to the growing awareness around it in recent years The most common symptoms in patients who are concerned about BII When a patient is concerned about possible breast implant illness, what the evaluation process looks like—from the first conversation through deciding next steps The risk factors or patient profiles that may make someone more susceptible to complications or symptoms associated with breast implants For patients who believe they may be experiencing BII, the options that are available to them How the field of plastic surgery has evolved in recent years to better prioritize patient safety, informed consent, and long-term outcomes when it comes to breast implants Is there such a thing as a safer implant or one designed for autoimmune patients? è You can learn about his services at: https://www.seandohertymd.com/ è You can find the links in the show notes at https://ronandlisa.com/podcast/. è Be sure to leave a review or rating – five stars are always appreciated.

What are the experts saying about thyroid cancer treatment in 2025? Maybe it's time to discuss deescalation of aggressive surgical care for lower risk thyroid cancers. We can accept that less surgery may be appropriate in select cases, including more thyroid lobectomies versus total thyroidectomies, consider less invasive approaches such as percutaneous ablation techniques, and utilize more observation with active surveillance. Early assessment of treatment may allow appropriate reduction in use of radioactive iodine ablation and more relaxed routine monitoring can reduce surveillance burden to patients and providers.
