In this episode, the CardioNerds (Dr. Natalie Tapaskar, Dr. Jenna Skowronski, and Dr. Shazli Khan) discuss the process of heart transplantation from the initial donor selection to the time a patient is discharged with Dr. Dave Kaczorowski and Dr. Jason Katz. We dissect a case where we understand criteria for donor selection, the differences between DBD and DCD organ donors, the choice of vasoactive agents in the post-operative period, complications such as cardiac tamponade, and the choice of immunosuppression in the immediate post-operative period. Most importantly, we highlight the importance of multi-disciplinary teams in the care of transplant patients. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Dr. Julia Marques Fernandes.

Pearls When thinking about donor selection, you need to consider how much physiologic stress your recipient can tolerate, and this may guide your selection of “higher risk” or “lower risk” donors.   The use of DCD donors has increased the potential donor pool and shortened waitlist times with very similar perioperative outcomes to DBD transplantation.  Post-operative critical care management rests on a fundamental principle to apply as much inotropic/vasoactive therapy as needed to achieve some reasonable physiologic hemostasis, and then getting “the heck out of the way!” There are no standard regimens as practices vary across centers, but rest on providing adequate RV support, maintaining AV synchrony, and early resuscitation.   The RV is fickle and doesn't take a joke too well. RV dysfunction post-transplant is important to watch for, and it can be transient or require aggressive support. Don't miss assessing for cardiac tamponade which can require surgical evacuation- “where there's space, that space can be filled with fluid.”   Induction immunosuppression post-transplant varies across centers, but some considerations for use may include (1) high sensitization of the patient, (2) high risk immunologic donor-recipient matching, and (3) recipient renal dysfunction to provide a calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) sparing regimen long term.  Management of heart transplant patients is a multi-disciplinary effort that requires coordination amongst heart failure/transplant cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anesthesiologists, pathology/immunologists and a slew of ancillary services. Without a dynamic and collaborative team, successful cardiac transplantation could not be possible.  Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Natalie Tapaskar  What are the basic components of donor heart selection? In practicality, it can be a very inexact science, but we use some basic selection criteria such as: (1) size matching (2) ischemic time (3) donor graft function (4) immunologic compatibility (5) age of the potential donor and recipient (6) severity of illness of the recipient (7) regional variation in donor availability When thinking about accepting older donors (>50 years old), we ideally would screen for donor coronary disease and try to keep ischemic times as short as possible. We may accept an older donor for a recipient who is highly sensitized, which leaves a smaller potential donor pool. There is no clear consensus on size matching, but the predicted heart mass is most used. We are generally more comfortable oversizing than under-sizing donor hearts. Serial echocardiography is important in potential donors as initially reduced ejection fractions can improve on repeat testing, and these organs should not be disregarded automatically. For recipients who are more surgically complex, (i.e. multiple prior sternotomies or complex anatomy), it's probably preferable to avoid older donors with some graft dysfunction and favor donors with shorter ischemic times. What is the difference between DBD and DCD? DBD is donation after brain death- these donors meet criteria for brain death. Uniform Determination of Death Act 1980: the death of an individual is The irreversible cessation of circulatory and respiratory functions or The irreversible cessation of all functions of the entire brain, including those of the brain stem DCD is donation after circulatory death- donation of the heart after confirming that circulatory function has irreversibly ceased. Only donors in category 3 of the Maastricht Classification of DCD donors are considered for DCD donations: anticipated circulatory arrest (planned withdrawal of life-support treatment). DCD hearts can be procured via direct procurement or normothermic regional perfusion (NRP). The basic difference is the way the hearts are assessed, either on an external circuit or in the donor body. For the most complex recipient, DCD may not be utilized at some centers due to concern for higher rates of delayed graft function, but this is center specific and data is still evolving. What are some features surgeons consider when procuring the donor heart? Visual assessment of the donor heart is key in DBD or NRP cases. LV function may be hard to assess, but visually the RV can be inspected. Palpation of the coronary arteries is important to assess any calcifications or abnormalities. Ventricular arrhythmias at the time of procurement may be concerning. Key considerations in the procurement process: (1) Ensuring the heart remains decompressed at all times and doesn't become distended (2) adequate cardioplegia delivery (3) aorta is cross-clamped properly all the way across the vessel (4) avoiding injury to adjacent structures during procurement What hemodynamic parameters should we monitor and what vasoactive agents are used peri-heart transplant? There is no consensus regarding vasoactive agent use post-transplant and practice varies across institutions. Some commonly seen regimens may include: (1) AAI pacing around 110 bpm to support RV function and preserve AV synchrony (2) inotropic agents such as epinephrine and dobutamine to support RV function (3) pulmonary vasodilators such as inhaled nitric oxide to optimize RV afterload Early post-transplant patients tend to have low cardiac filling pressures and require preload monitoring and resuscitation initially. Slow weaning of inotropes as the patient shows signs of stable graft function and hemodynamics. RV dysfunction may manifest as elevated central venous pressure with low cardiac index or hypotension with reducing urine output. Optimize inotropic support, volume status, metabolic status (acidosis and hypoxia), afterload (pulmonary hypertension), and assess for cardiac tamponade. Tamponade requires urgent take-back to the operating room to evacuate material. Refractory RV failure requires mechanical circulatory support, with early consideration of VA-ECMO. Isolated RV MCS may be used in the right clinical context. Why do pericardial effusions/cardiac tamponade happen after transplant? They are not uncommon after transplant and can be due to: Inherent size differences between the donor and recipient (i.e. if the donor heart is much smaller than the recipient's original heart) Bleeding from suture lines and anastomoses, pacing wires, and cannulation sites Depending on the hemodynamic stability of the patient and the location of the effusion, these effusions may require urgent return to the OR for drainage/clot evacuation via reopening the sternotomy, mini thoracotomy, and possible pericardial windows. What are the basics of immunosuppression post-transplant? Induction immunosuppression is variably used and is center-specific. Considerations for using induction therapy may include: (1) high sensitization of the patient (2) younger patients or multiparous women with theoretically more robust immune systems (3) crossing of recipient antibodies with donor antigens (3) renal function to provide a CNI sparing regimen long term Some considerations for avoiding induction may include: (1) older age of the recipient (2) underlying comorbid conditions such as infections or frailty of the recipient What are expected activity restrictions post-transplant? Sternal precautions are important to maintain sternal wire integrity. Generally avoiding lifting >10 pounds in the first 4-12 weeks, no driving usually in the first 4 weeks, monitoring for signs and symptoms of wound infections, and optimizing nutrition and physical activity. Cardiac rehabilitation is incredibly important as soon as feasible. References Kharawala A , Nagraj S , Seo J , et al.

The Darwin-Wallace framework stands tall, but there are places where the seams show, where life presses back with its own kind of intention. Scott Turner guides us through those overlooked corners, tracing the ideas that slipped between theory and experience. We find organisms not as passive machines, but as players in a deeper, older rhythm. And in that recognition, the story of evolution widens into something more awake, more alive.PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-here00:00 Go! 00:09:00 Evolution's Philosophical Foundations 00:12:00 Linnaeus and Early Taxonomy 00:18:00 Idealism vs. Darwinian Thought 00:23:27 Ideological Divide in Evolutionary Theory 00:25:03 Early Evolutionary Inquiry and Natural Theology 00:29:00 Darwin's Voyage and Observations 00:33:57 Intelligence, Purpose, and Evolution 00:37:30 Geological and Evolutionary Gradualism vs. Catastrophism 00:41:40 Darwin & Wallace: Collaboration and Legacy 00:46:34 Mutationism vs. Natural Selection 00:49:44 Reconciling Mutationism and Darwinism 00:53:00 The Eclipse of Darwinism and Rediscovery of Mendel 00:56:14 Evolution, Loss of Purpose and Agency 01:00:30 Darwin's Pangenesis Theory 01:09:06 Biology, Culture, and Evolution 01:11:07 Evolutionary Theories and Future Directions #history, #consciousness, #evolution, #criticalthinking,#physicspodcast, #philosophypodcast MERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

In this uplifting episode, hosts Beth Glassman and Cathy Gildenhorn sit down with Leanna Scaglione, a powerhouse rare disease advocate and marathon runner living with NF2-Related Schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN), formerly known as neurofibromatosis type 2. Diagnosed at just 16 years old, Leanna's life changed dramatically when tumors were discovered in her nervous system, a hallmark of NF2-SWN. Many would have slowed down. Instead, Leanna sped up. Today, she has: Completed multiple marathons, including Berlin and New York City Participated in clinical trials Become an advocate and 2025 Ambassador for the Children's Tumor Foundation Set her sights on becoming the first person with NF2 to complete all 7 Abbott World Marathon Majors Her message is powerful: a diagnosis doesn't define the finish line. In This Episode, We Discuss: What NF2-SWN is and how it impacts the nervous system The emotional toll of receiving a life-altering diagnosis as a teenager Losing a dream — and finding a new one Running marathons through surgeries, treatments, and uncertainty How advocacy and visibility can change the rare disease landscape Building a life rooted in resilience, purpose, and possibility About Our Guest: Leanna Scaglione is 34 years old living with NF2-Related Schwannomatosis (NF2-SWN). Ever since being diagnosed at 16 years old, she has refused to live defined by her diagnosis. From relearning to walk, participating in immunotherapy drug trials, and going through numerous surgeries she has defied the odds against her. Most recently she has undergone surgery to remove her right acoustic neuroma. She continues to live her best life as an endurance runner, sharing her story and experiences living with NF2 in hopes to spread awareness, motivate her community and rally for a cure.

Pearls The current iteration of heart allocation listing is based on priority, with status 1 being the highest priority.  The are multiple donor and recipient characteristics to consider when listing a patient for heart transplantation and accepting a heart offer.  Desensitization is an option for patients who need heart transplantation but are highly sensitized.  Protocols vary by center.  Acceptance of DCD hearts is one of many efforts to expand the donor pool   Notes Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Rachel Goodman  Once a patient is determined to be a candidate for heart transplantation, how is priority determined?  The current iteration of heart listing statuses was implemented in 2018.  Priority is determined by acuity, with higher statuses indicating higher acuity and given higher priority.  Status 1 is the highest priority status, and Status 7 is inactive patients. (1,2)  What criteria should be considered in organ selection when listing a patient for heart transplant?  Once it is determined that a patient will be listed for heart transplantation, there are certain criteria that should be assessed.  These factors may impact pre-transplant care and/or donor matching (3).  (1) PVR  (2) Height/weight   (3) Milage listing criteria  (4) Blood typing/cPRA/HLA typing  What is desensitization and why would it be considered?  Desensitization is an attempt to reduce or remove anti-HLA antibodies in the recipient.  It is done to increase the donor pool.  In general, desensitization is reserved for patients who are highly sensitized.  Desensitization protocols vary by transplant center, and some may opt against it.  When considering desensitization, it is important to note two key things: first, there is no promise that it will work, and second desensitization involves the use of immunosuppressive agents, thereby putting patients at increased risk of infection and cytopenia. (4)  Can you explain DCD and DBD transplant?  DBD: donor that have met the requirements for legal definition of brain death.   DCD: donors that have not met the legal definition of brain death but have been determined to have circulatory death.  Because the brain death criteria have not been met, organ recovery can only take place once death is confirmed based on cessation of circulatory and respiratory function. Life support is only withdrawn following declaration of circulatory death—once the heart has stopped beating and spontaneous respirations have stopped.

Where is God present—and how do believers describe it? In this thoughtful and poetic episode, Polish theologian Dr. Elżbieta Łazarewicz-Wyrzykowska joins Dru Johnson to reflect on theology, trauma, and spiritual presence. From her childhood in Warsaw—where bullet holes and tanks marked the legacy of war—to her academic path through Hebrew Bible, literary theory, and empirical psychology, Elżbieta has never stopped asking difficult questions. They discuss her research into the Book of Amos using the philosophical insights of Mikhail Bakhtin, seeing God as the “author” of Israel and disobedience as a form of anti-creation. They also explore her current interdisciplinary work in the psychology of religion: “We tried to measure where people locate God's presence. Eucharist was the one thing people named first.” She reflects on the tension between empirical categories and theological meaning: “God is present in special objects” didn't resonate. But “God is present in the Eucharist”? That made sense. “I still wanted to be faithful to what the community told me.” This episode is a masterclass in humility, scholarship, and the quiet brilliance of a scholar working at the intersection of Scripture, philosophy, trauma, and pastoral care.

What if your concrete mix could cut a data center's power bill by 15%? In this episode of the Concrete Logic Podcast, host Seth Tandett talks with Frank Stankunas Sr., Frank Stankunas Jr., and James Cordeiro from Silverback Concrete about a concept most engineers haven't thought about—thermal resistivity in concrete. They explain how low rho concrete helps data centers shed heat faster, take pressure off the grid, and extend the life of buried electrical infrastructure. You'll hear how they're testing mixes that hit rho values in the 20s, why quality control is everything, and why engineers need to stop “copying and pasting” specs from old jobs. By the end, you'll see why thermal resistivity may be the next big efficiency play in the world's fastest-growing utility - data. What You'll Learn • What thermal resistivity (rho) actually measures in concrete. • How low rho concrete reduces power bills and protects the grid. • Why inconsistent mixes can cause “thermal runaway” in cables. • How soil type and aggregate selection affect heat dissipation. • What testing and verification look like for low rho concrete. • Why some engineers are still unaware of rho's importance. • How Silverback's “Game Changer” mix is redefining performance. • What collaboration between engineers and contractors could unlock next.

In Part Two of my conversation, with Professor Jeremy Jamieson we explore the fascinating dynamics of stress and resilience, specifically emphasising the roles parents can play in helping their children grow up resilient and strong. We discuss the importance of fostering a positive relationship with stress and understanding the biological and psychological factors that play into this often misunderstood aspect of life. What You'll Learn: Understanding Stress: Discover how stress functions as a natural response and how it can be beneficial rather than detrimental. Challenge vs. Threat Mindsets: Learn why perceiving stress as a challenge rather than a threat can completely alter the physiological response. Parenting Techniques for Resilience: Get insights into how parents can prepare their children for life's challenges by encouraging them to tackle difficult situations head-on. Key Takeaways: Stress is Not the Enemy: Stress, when approached properly, can be a tool for growth and resilience rather than a harmful force. It’s about perception and management. Parents as Guides, Not Rescuers: Instead of removing obstacles for your children, teach them to navigate these challenges. Encourage them to be proactive and resilient. Develop a Toolbox for Stress Management: Different situations require different responses—having a flexible approach to managing stress is crucial. The Role of Physiology in Stress: Understanding and managing physiological responses through activities such as regular exercise, sleep hygiene, and possibly cold immersion sessions can help in dealing with stress effectively. Importance of a Healthy Lifestyle: Adequate sleep, nutrition, and limiting technology use can have profound impacts on mental health, influencing stress levels and resilience capacity.

Check out his awesome work!Visit our Patreon page to unlock exclusive Bayesian swag ;)Takeaways:Bayesian mindset in psychology: Why priors, model checking, and full uncertainty reporting make findings more honest and useful.Intermittent fasting & cognition: A Bayesian meta-analysis suggests effects are context- and age-dependent – and often small but meaningful.Framing matters: The way we frame dietary advice (focus, flexibility, timing) can shape adherence and perceived cognitive benefits.From cravings to choices: Appetite, craving, stress, and mood interact to influence eating and cognitive performance throughout the day.Define before you measure: Clear definitions (and DAGs to encode assumptions) reduce ambiguity and guide better study design.DAGs for causal thinking: Directed acyclic graphs help separate hypotheses from data pipelines and make causal claims auditable.Small effects, big implications: Well-estimated “small” effects can scale to public-health relevance when decisions repeat daily.Teaching by modeling: Helping students write models (not just run them) builds statistical thinking and scientific literacy.Bridging lab and life: Balancing careful experiments with real-world measurement is key to actionable health-psychology insights.Trust through transparency: Openly communicating assumptions, uncertainty, and limitations strengthens scientific credibility.Chapters:10:35 The Struggles of Bayesian Statistics in Psychology22:30 Exploring Appetite and Cognitive Performance29:45 Research Methodology and Causal Inference36:36 Understanding Cravings and Definitions39:02 Intermittent Fasting and Cognitive Performance42:57 Practical Recommendations for Intermittent Fasting49:40 Balancing Experimental Psychology and Statistical Modeling55:00 Pressing Questions in Health Psychology01:04:50 Future Directions in ResearchThank you to my Patrons for...

For patients with ischemic priapism, time to treatment can mean the difference between recovery and long-term dysfunction. In this episode, Dr. Maia VanDyke (UT Southwestern Medical Center) joins host Dr. Juan Andino (UCLA Health) for a high-yield discussion on managing this urologic emergency, from early recognition to advanced surgical options.---SYNPOSISTogether, they cover diagnosis, patient demographics, and traditional versus advanced interventions, with special attention to the role of penoscrotal decompression in prolonged ischemic priapism. The conversation highlights surgical techniques, postoperative care strategies, and patient counseling, including the hard but essential discussions about long-term erectile dysfunction risk. Drs. Andino and VanDyke also emphasize the importance of collaboration, encouraging general urologists to adopt these approaches while leaning on colleagues and centers of excellence for complex cases.---TIMESTAMPS00:00 - Introduction02:18 - Understanding Priapism07:52 - Diagnosis and Initial Management16:51 - Advanced Management and Surgical Interventions28:21 - Patient Retention Challenges29:59 - Surgical Planning and Techniques37:29 - Post-Operative Care and Patient Rehabilitation44:13 - Future Directions in Research and Treatment51:28 - The Role of General Urology---RESOURCESDr. David Ralph article on use of MRI in management of priapismhttps://doi.org/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2010.09368.xDr. Tom Lue article on corporal aspirationhttps://doi.org/10.1038/nrurol.2009.50Arthur “Bud” Burnett article on corporal tunnelinghttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.juro.2012.08.245Allen “Al” Morey article on penoscrotal decompression erectile function outcomeshttps://doi.org/10.1111/bju.15127Survey on current management practices of ischemic priapismhttps://doi.org/10.1038/s41443-019-0120-4Risk factors, diagnosis, and long-term erectile dysfunction outcomes in priapismhttps://doi.org/10.1038/s41443-025-01076-9Video Journal of Sexual Medicine (VJSM) on Penoscrotal decompression: A better method for priapism managementhttps://www.vjsm.info/videos/all/penoscrotal-decompression-a-better-method-for-priapism-managementSurgical Management of Ischemic Priapism: what are the New Options? https://doi.org/10.1590/S1677-5538.IBJU.2024.0497The Impact of Immediate Salvage Surgery on Corporeal Length Preservationhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.juro.2018.01.082
