In this edition of his Search for Meaning podcast, Stephen Wise Temple Senior Rabbi Yoshi Zweiback hosts Carol Mabeya, gynecologist Dr. Debbie Matityahu, and Ariela Zweiback of Beyond Fistula. During his sabbatical, Rabbi Yoshi spent two weeks in Eldoret, Kenya working with Beyond Fistula, a non-profit charity that aids women and girls in Africa who have recently undergone surgical repair for fistulas, helping them rebuild their lives through education and vocational skills training. It was a transformative experience for Rabbi Yoshi and his family, including Ariela.Beyond Fistula got its start during Dr. Matityahu's 10-month family trip around the world with her husband and two children in 2010. The Matityahus spent one of those months in Kenya, where they met and worked with Carol's husband, Dr. Hillary Mabeya, the founder and primary surgeon at Gynocare Women's and Fistula Hospital. At that hospital, Dr. Matityahu and her 12-year-old daughter Arielle found a cause.Obstetric fistulas are holes that occur when a woman undergoes a long and obstructed labor during childbirth. Though largely eradicated in the developed world, obstetric fistulas are still a devastating scourge for women in the world's poorest countries. Women laboring in huts in remote villages may push for days—rather than hours—on end with no anesthesia or medical support. The baby's head pinches and necroses the tissue between the vagina and the bladder, and sometimes the vagina and the rectum, destroying that tissue. The tissue erodes off, creating the fistula, which can lead to uncontrolled leakage of urine and feces. Many of the babies do not survive, and the women are left exhausted, incontinent, humiliated, and—all too often—ostracized by their community. "I remember one of the young girls that we operated on had such severe internal damage, that I, as a gynecologist who looks at this anatomy almost every day, could not identify what was left inside the pelvis," Dr. Matityahu said. "Everything had necrosed off. No bladder, no vagina, the colon was hanging open ... It was so devastating that I had no idea what I would have done next."Dr. Matityahu wanted to learn more about that women, and those like her. As she listened to their horrific stories of rape, starvation humiliation, and desperation, she felt like she had to do something. Three of the women she operated on had one desire after surgery: They wanted to go back to school. What started with Dr. Matityahu donating money to fund those three women's education grew into an organization that picks up where surgery leaves off. Not only does Beyond Fistula fight the trauma and stigma facing women who suffer from fistulas, but it provides hope and dignity, along with education, room and board, and vocational training on its property in Kenya. Originally set up with one house and a tailoring program for six young women, Beyond Fistula has evolved. They now offer counseling and courses in tailoring, hairdressing, literacy skills, computer skills, and business for women of all ages—from those in their teens and those who have lived with the fallout from fistulas for 50 years. Through partner Farming God's Way, Beyond Fistula even offers a farm skills training program, whose graduates not only leave with training, but a grant to start their own small farming business.

MedLink Neurology Podcast is delighted to feature selected episodes from BrainWaves, courtesy of James E Siegler MD, its originator and host. BrainWaves is an academic audio podcast whose mission is to educate medical providers through clinical cases and topical reviews in neurology, medicine, and the humanities, and episodes originally aired from 2016 to 2021.Originally released: April 16, 2020As my wife and I are raising our 9-month-old daughter, and she is eating more solid food, I can't help but think about how important it is for her to keep an open mind to new food groups. But being open-minded is not just a lesson for toddlers. I emphasize it every day on rounds when seeing patients for a "stroke consult" or a consult for "ICU delirium." If you reduce yourself to the same anchoring biases that you've grown accustomed to, you'll never entertain the possibility of other important and treatable conditions. Or tasty foods. This week on the BrainWaves Podcast, Dr. Brian Jankowitz (Cooper University Hospital Vascular Neurosurgeon) joins Jim in a discussion about a rare but treatable cause of myelopathy. A condition you won't want to miss.Produced by Brian Jankowitz and James E Siegler. Music courtesy of Kevin McLeod, Lee Rosevere, and Loyalty Freak Music. The opening theme was composed by Jimothy Dalton. Sound effects by Mike Koenig and Daniel Simion.

This episode is for all the women who have messaged me begging for a positive story about vaginal birth after a severe perineal tear. Here is all the inspiration (and information) you'll need! Diana shares her experience with a fourth-degree tear and details her shock when she was told that she had a recto-vaginal fistula. She admits that she did very little birth preparation and was happy to go with the flow but when it was time to birth her baby, she couldn't feel anything because of the epidural. Furthermore, her baby was born in one push. Diana's complications made for a physically and mentally challenging postpartum and motivated her to do things differently for her subsequent birth. Determined to embrace support and preparation, she worked closely with her doula and MGP midwife and had a physiological labour with perineal support that resulted in a small second-degree tear. ___________ Have you heard the news? My new book, The Complete Australian Guide to Pregnancy and Birth, is now available for purchase. This book covers everything you need as you journey through pregnancy and prepare for a positive birth experience. --> Get yours today. I hope you love it.

Dreams of Consciousness Podcast Episode 227 features an interview with Come To Grief. Come To Grief are one of the few bands to be interviewed on this podcast twice. The last time I had the New England quartet on was soon after the release of their first EP The Worst of Times, and prior to their split EP with Fistula. The whole band (vocalist/guitarist Jonathan Hebert, guitarist Terry Savastano, drummer Chuck Conlon, and new bassist Jon Morse) took time from their recent tour to catch me up on what they've been doing for the last five years, and how they kept busy during their Covid times. They also explained why it took this long to release their first album, When the World Dies, and what led them to record at GodCity Studios with "sound wizard" Kurt Ballou. My thanks to Jonathan, Terry, Chuck, and Jon for speaking with me, and to all of you for listening. Music In This Episode: "March of the Maggots" taken from the EP Pray for the End "Life's Curse" (featuring Jacob Bannon) "Devastation of Souls" "When the World Dies" taken from the album When the World Dies "Take Me In My Sleep" taken from the Come to Grief/Fistula split Thanks for listening!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for March 5, 2022 is: fester FESS-ter verb Fester means "to generate pus" or "to become worse as time passes." // Without treatment, the wound began to fester. // The resentment between the knights festered and led to a battle. See the entry > Examples: "And even though there are many people who claim to have the solutions, I seriously doubt these challenges will be solved. I predict they will continue to fester within all organizations." — Christopher Thompson, The New Hampshire Union Leader, 24 Jan. 2022 Did you know? Fester comes from Latin fistula, meaning "pipe" or "fistulous ulcer." Fistula, in English, refers to an abnormal passage leading from an abscess or hollow organ and permitting passage of fluids or secretions. The word's use as a verb meaning "to generate pus" influenced its use as a word implying a worsening state.
