In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis and Kevin discuss the complexities of using narcotics in long-term care, particularly in a military or austere environment. They delve into the importance of understanding drug metabolites, context-sensitive half-times, and the implications for patient care. The conversation covers various anesthetic agents, their effects, and the clinical considerations necessary for effective pain management and sedation during and after surgical procedures.TakeawaysMetabolites of narcotics can significantly impact patient care.Fentanyl infusions can provide prolonged analgesia but require careful monitoring.Midazolam has a longer context-sensitive half-time compared to other anesthetics.Morphine's metabolite can lead to increased potency and potential overshooting.Dilaudid is preferred over morphine for its predictability in effects.Vecuronium's metabolite can cause prolonged neuromuscular blockade, especially in renal impairment.Ketamine can have unexpected, prolonged effects postoperatively.Timing of drug administration is crucial in prolonged field care scenarios.Patients with low urine output may require adjusted medication dosages.Understanding context-sensitive half-times is essential for effective anesthesia management.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Narcotics in Long-Term Care01:43 Understanding Metabolites and Context-Sensitive Half-Time05:02 Fentanyl Infusions and Prolonged Analgesia06:54 Comparing Anesthetic Agents: Midazolam, Ketamine, and Propofol10:11 Clinical Implications of Metabolites in Anesthesia13:27 Challenges with Ketamine and Other Narcotics16:03 Timing and Context-Sensitive Half-Time in Anesthesia20:39 Managing Post-Operative Pain and Sedation23:29 Key Takeaways on Metabolites and Infusion TimingFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care

– Kryzys opioidowy zabił setki tysięcy Amerykanów. Teraz administracja Trumpa chce odpowiedzieć siłą – relacjonuje korespondent Radia Wnet. U wybrzeży Wenezueli znajduje się amerykański lotniskowiec. Stany Zjednoczone są już w pełnej gotowości do dokonania powietrznych uderzeń na cele lądowe w Wenezueli– mówi korespondent Radia Wnet Tomasz Grzywaczewski. To element nowej amerykańskiej operacji przeciw kartelom narkotykowym.Południowa Włócznia uderzy a kartele?Sekretarz wojny Pete Hegseth ogłosił rozpoczęcie operacji „Południowa Włócznia”, której celem ma być walka z narkoterrorystami w całej Ameryce Łacińskiej. Grzywaczewski podkreśla, że do wybrzeży Wenezueli dotarła już grupa uderzeniowa lotniskowca USS Gerald Ford, a w regionie znajdują się amerykańskie okręty, łódź podwodna i samoloty F-35.Nie ma decyzji o bombardowaniach, ale zgromadzony potencjał wskazuje, że takie uderzenia są bardzo możliwe. Celem może być nie tylko infrastruktura karteli, ale także obalenie reżimu Nicolása Maduro– ocenia korespondent.Narkotykowi terroryściUSA uznały wcześniej kartele za organizacje terrorystyczne, co daje podstawy prawne do operacji wojskowych. Sam Maduro – jak przypomina Grzywaczewski – jest oskarżany o kierowanie „państwowym kartelem narkotykowym”. Stany Zjednoczone wyznaczyły nagrodę 50 mln dolarów za jego ujęcie.Korespondent wskazuje, że działania militarne są reakcją na katastrofalny kryzys opioidowy w USA.Fentanyl i inne opioidy doprowadziły do śmierci setek tysięcy Amerykanów. To kryzys, jakiego ten kraj nie widział– mówi.Kryzys opioidowy i Purdue PharmaPrzypomina też, że początkiem epidemii opioidowej była legalna działalność firmy Purdue Pharma, która masowo wprowadzała na rynek lek OxyContin jako „bezpieczny”, mimo gigantycznego potencjału uzależniającego.To był skandal niewyobrażalnej skali– dodaje.Według Grzywaczewskiego USA mogą w kolejnych dniach rozpocząć działania militarne nie tylko w Wenezueli, ale w całej Ameryce Południowej w ramach południowego dowództwa armii.
Inside the Village - A weekly podcast featuring newsmakers in Ontario
Send us a textIt's true what they say: records are meant to be broken.Over the summer, the Ontario Provincial Police announced the largest fentanyl seizure in the force's history: 38 kg, or more than 380,000 street doses of the lethal drug. The massive bust was the result of Project Golden, a multi-jurisdictional investigation that spanned 11 months and multiple communities.Today, the force announced an even bigger bust: 46 kg of fentanyl taken off the streets in Windsor, all part of an extensive investigation — Project Rotherham — that the OPP alleges is linked to organized crime.On tonight's episode of Closer Look, we revisit two previous interviews that shed light on how fentanyl is produced and trafficked across Ontario: one with OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique, the other with renowned organized crime expert and author Antonio Nicaso.Hosted by Village Media's Michael Friscolanti and Scott Sexsmith, and produced by Derek Turner, Closer Look is a new daily podcast that goes way beyond the headlines with insightful, in-depth conversations featuring our reporters and editors, leading experts, key stakeholders and big newsmakers.Fresh episodes drop every Monday to Friday at 7 p.m. right in your local news feed — and on the show's dedicated website: closerlookpodcast.ca.

Gear up, freedom fighters! In MG Show Season 7, Episode 216: "President Trump Interview Part 2; Karoline Leavitt Press Briefing," hosts @intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove (Jeff and Shannon) deliver unfiltered truth bombs defending FBI Director Kash Patel against "fake MAGA" smears from globalist puppets. Spotlighting Trump's groundbreaking China deal banning all 13 fentanyl precursors and 7 subsidiaries to dismantle the deadly cartel pipeline—securing our borders, crushing the invasion, and saving American lives under America First leadership. Dive into Trump's no-BS Fox News chat with Laura Ingraham: Economic triumphs like gas prices plummeting to record lows, Walmart's 25% cheaper Thanksgiving meals for hardworking families, his smart stance on H-1B visas for irreplaceable skilled talent (putting American workers first without selling out to Big Tech globalists), and his business-savvy White House renovations proving efficient, taxpayer-saving leadership. Karoline Leavitt's briefing exposes the 43-day Democrat-engineered government shutdown wrecking SNAP benefits and flights—demanding a clean CR bill to end the chaos and restore order. We dismantle misinformation campaigns, including baseless attacks on Patel's girlfriend Alexis Wilkins as a "Mossad plant," and debunk Democrat redactions in Epstein docs as desperate distractions from Trump's wins against the deep state. Battle-hardened info warriors bring primary sources, raw clips, and analysis exposing left-right media manipulation to divide the MAGA base. The Constitution is your weapon—truth is learned, never told. Stand with Trump against globalist sabotage and reclaim our Republic!

Over the last few days, the economic and trade agreements reached between China and the U.S. in Kuala Lumpur last month have started to take effect. The U.S. has removed the 10% so-called Fentanyl tariff and suspended, for one year, the 24% reciprocal tariffs on Chinese goods, and China has reciprocated by adjusting its tariff countermeasures. Both sides have also suspended port fees against each other for one year. Will the truce hold? Do we need to manage our expectations? How to keep things on the right track?
"The thing that people don't get about fentanyl is that almost no one seeks fentanyl ... most people who use drugs are avoiding fentanyl like the plague." NCITE Assistant Research Professor Alex Bruens, Ph.D., sits down with Jake Braun, member of the NCITE expert consortium and author of the new book, "Fentanyl: Fighting the Mass Poisoning of America and the Cartel Behind It." They discuss how the drug created a health crisis in the United States, the Mexican drug cartels (led by Sinaloa) developing the drug, the progress that has been made to combat its manufacture and dissemination, and what remains to be done to fight the health crisis. Braun is the executive director of the Cyber Policy Initiative at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy. He is also the CEO of Cambridge Global Advisors and served in the White House for over seven years in several capacities, including as the Acting Principal Deputy National Cyber Director and White House Liaison to the Department of Homeland Security. He holds an M.A. in both international relations and education and grew up in Omaha, NE. Inquiries regarding the book can be sent to jakebraun@uchicago.edu.

On October 30, US President Trump and China's leader Xi Jinping met in Busan, South Korea. It was their first face-to-face meeting in 6 years. There was a lot at stake in this meeting for the US and China, as well as for the rest of the world. In my view, the outcome is best described as a fragile truce. The path forward for US-China relations remains uncertain – greater stability and predictability is possible, but not assured. Intense competition across several domains, especially technology, is likely.Today's episode focuses on the Trump-Xi summit and the future of US-China relations, featuring Mr. Dennis Wilder. Dennis is a senior fellow for the Initiative for U.S.-China Dialogue on Global Issues at Georgetown University, where he previously served as the managing director, and assistant professor of the practice in Asian studies in the School of Foreign Service. He served on President George W. Bush's NSC first as director for China and then as senior director for Asian Affairs. He also had a distinguished career in the CIA, where he held many positions, the last of which was senior editor of the Presidential Daily Brief.

Seattle's EBT food stamp fraud ring is thriving, and surprise, surprise - nobody in city hall seems interested in stopping it. We're diving deep into undercover footage showing drug addicts openly trading SNAP benefits for fentanyl cash, turning taxpayer-funded assistance into a drug marketplace feeding ground. This isn't just fraud - it's a $100 billion system being gamed while people overdose daily and honest families struggle to put food on the table.The numbers don't lie: $10 billion in annual fraud, obesity rates hitting 40% in high-SNAP areas, and a revolving door of arrests with zero real consequences. Meanwhile, Seattle's "advocates" keep hoping things will magically improve without addressing the root cause - unchecked drug addiction and zero accountability.Is anyone shocked that giving addicts liquidity creates more chaos? When will we admit that enabling this cycle isn't compassion - it's complicity? What's it going to take for these blue cities to prioritize taxpayers over criminals?

Europa könnte das Heroin ausgehen. Die Taliban in Afghanistan gehen gegen den Anbau von Schlafmohn vor und bremsen so die Produktion. Was womöglich wie eine gute Nachricht klingt, hat einen Haken. Denn anstelle der ohnehin gefährlichen Droge, könnten noch unheimlichere Substanzen treten: synthetische Opioide. Marlene Erhart aus der STANDARD Wissenschaftsredaktion erklärt, wo die neuen Gefahren lauern und was dagegen getan werden muss.

(The Center Square) – President Donald Trump feels confident the flow of fentanyl from China will be curbed following a “great meeting” with Chinese President Xi Jinping in South Korea. The meeting prompted Trump to cut in half the tariffs the U.S. put on China due to the flow of the deadly drug. “I've agreed, as you know, I put a 20% tariff on China because of the fentanyl coming in, it's a big tariff, and based on [Xi's] statements today, I reduced it by 10%, so it's 10% instead of 20% effective immediately. I believe he's going to work very hard to stop the death that's coming in,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on his way back to Washington. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

TALK TO ME, TEXT ITA damp pink flyer that reportedly tests positive for fentanyl. A single guy holding a sign over the 101 to find a date. A backstage birthday cake launched like a prop. Three wildly different stories, one thread: how fear, spectacle, and attention shape what we believe and how we behave.We start with the Texas flyer report and pull apart the timing, the symptoms, and the gap between public fear and practical risk. The question isn't only whether paper can make you sick; it's how our minds link cause and effect when panic, headlines, and real safety concerns collide. We challenge assumptions, weigh plausibility, and talk about the line between caution and hype.Then we pivot to the overpass love stunt. Is it bold or just reckless branding? We get candid about dating fatigue, why apps feel stale to many, and how performance culture nudges people toward stunts instead of showing up in real life. The point isn't to shame anyone hunting for connection—it's to ask whether we've forgotten the slower, braver ways people actually meet.Finally, we break down the celebrity cake clip: the optics of waste, respect for crews, and why small gestures blow up when trust is thin. It's not just a dessert on the floor; it's a symbol that taps nerves about entitlement and labor. And to bring it back to something we all share, we close with a simple question that sparks community: what's your favorite cake?If this show made you think, tap follow, share it with a friend, and tell us your take—fear gone too far, dating gone weird, or celebrity gone careless?

From October 20-23, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party held its Fourth Plenum in Beijing, marking an important moment as the Party sets the direction for China's development for the next five years. The session adopted recommendations for the 15th Five-Year Plan, endorsing Xi Jinping's goals of high-quality development, scientific and technological self-reliance, and strengthening national security in response to rising global instabilities. The Central Committee also announced the replacement of 11 members, the highest personnel turnover since 2017 amid an ongoing anti-corruption purge in the military. To discuss the plenum's outcomes, we are joined by Jonathan Czin. Jonathan is a leading expert on Chinese politics and foreign policy. He holds the Michael H.

Our CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Mike Wilson discusses the outlook for stocks after the preliminary U.S.-China trade agreement and ahead of the Fed meeting and big tech earnings.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's CIO and Chief U.S. Equity Strategist. Today on the podcast I'll be discussing the remaining hurdles for equities after what appears to be a preliminary trade deal with China.It's Monday, October 27th at 11:30am in New York. So, let's get after it.Over the past few weeks, trade tensions between the U.S. and China escalated once again focused on rare earths and technology transfers with each country playing its strongest card. Over the weekend, it appears that we have at least a preliminary agreement to de-escalate these tensions which means avoiding prohibitively high tariffs that were scheduled to go on at the end of this month. While we don't have many details on what has been agreed to, it appears that critical rare earths will continue to ship to the U.S. while technology transfer restrictions by the U.S. to China will ease. Presumably, Fentanyl tariffs of 20 percent on China are likely to be part of any broader agreement between Presidents Trump and Xi, if they end up meeting at the upcoming Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.Given the sharp sell-off in stocks a few weeks ago on the news of trade tensions re-escalating, it's not surprising that stocks are rallying sharply this morning on news of a possible deal from last week's talks. Our attention now turns to the other big events this week. First, the Federal Reserve is meeting tomorrow and Wednesday to decide its next move on monetary policy. There is a broad consensus view that the Fed will cut another 25 basis points but there are very different views about how they will address its balance sheet run-off known as quantitative tightening, or QT. Based on my conversations, there is a growing consensus view for the Fed to announce the end of QT but uncertainty around the timing. Our house view is for the Fed to wait until the January meeting to make this official with an end of the program in February. Others believe the Fed could announce something as early as this week. That dispersion in expectations does create some room for disappointment from markets, especially given the recent increase in funding market spreads. More specifically, the widening in spreads suggests banking reserves may already be too low and restrictive for the pick-up in economic activity and capital spending that requires more liquidity. Second, earnings revision breadth has rolled over sharply the past few weeks. Most of this decline is due to normal seasonality and the fact that revisions breadth had reached unsustainably high levels since bottoming out in April. Therefore, a reset should be expected as we previewed over a month ago. Nevertheless, it needs to stabilize and push higher again for stocks to continue their advance in my view. Perhaps most importantly for the S&P 500 is the fact that all of the hyperscalers are reporting this week and will likely determine if revision breadth rebounds. It will also be important to see how those stocks react to what is likely to be continued aggressive guidance on AI capex plans. Since April, the hyperscaler stocks have rewarded higher guidance on spending. Should that change, we may see a different tone to how these companies discuss their spending plans. Bottom line, I remain bullish on my 12 month view for U.S. stocks based on what I believe will be better and broader growth in earnings next year. Nevertheless, the near term window remains a bit cloudy on trade, Fed policy shifts and earnings revisions breadth. Stay patient with new capital deployment and look to take advantage of downdrafts when they arise like a few weeks ago. Thanks for tuning in; I hope you found it informative and useful.

The Financial Flow: China's Role in Fentanyl Money Laundering Josh Birenbaum, Foundation for Defense of Democracies, with John Batchelor Birenbaum discusses China's deep involvement in the fentanyl crisis, supplying precursor chemicals and dominating money laundering for Mexican cartels. Chinese money laundering gangs convert cartel dollars into RMB via a triangle system, catering to Chinese nationals who need US dollars outside of China's capital controls. Birenbaum suggests tracking dollars moving within the US and requiring proof of source of wealth for large purchases to disrupt this finance loop.
Fentanyl Cash Laundering and the Role of Chinese Nationals. Josh Birenbaum (Foundation for Defense of Democracies) discusses with John Batchelor the challenge of laundering the enormous amounts of cash generated by fentanyl drug smugglers and drug lords. This multibillion-dollar process often utilizes Chinese nationals residing in the United States. Because of capital controls imposed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), diaspora populations use internet chat rooms and WeChat to find opportunities to access dollars. Drug cartels capitalize on this by giving the Chinese nationals money to spend lavishly, thus laundering the drug cash. While these individuals may know they are circumventing CCP controls, they usually do not know the illegal origin of the funds which ultimately finance the cartels.
