H2S gets the Hollywood treatment, and let's just say reality has some thoughts. The crew tears into how *Landman* portrays one of the oilfield's most dangerous hazards, separating legit risks from TV-level exaggeration based on real-world experience. Along the way, the conversation veers into iconic Billy Bob Thornton one-liners, unhinged family drama, and the kind of business chaos that makes the show wildly entertaining, even when it stretches the truth.

Bruno Donatini, gastro-entérologue, expert en mycothérapie et formateur en médecine intégrative, revient pour la troisième fois dans un épisode hors-série de Vlan. À chaque échange, Bruno nous livre avec clarté et passion les fondements d'une médecine de précision, à la croisée des savoirs traditionnels et de la science contemporaine. Dans cet épisode plus court que d'habitude, nous avons souhaité aller droit au but : comprendre les quatre grandes typologies de microbiote intestinal et savoir comment les rééquilibrer rapidement.J'ai voulu qu'on simplifie au maximum l'approche, sans perdre la richesse du contenu. Nous passons donc en revue les quatre grands entérotypes : le microbiote appauvri (souvent lié au mode de vie moderne), la flore hydrogène (trop de sucres, souvent chez les jeunes), la flore méthanogène (constipation, transit lent) et la flore de type Prévotella (la plus délétère, avec des risques inflammatoires et tumoraux).Bruno nous guide pas à pas dans l'identification des symptômes (gaz, ballonnements, fatigue, problèmes buccaux…) et les solutions concrètes à mettre en œuvre : ajustements alimentaires ciblés, usage subtil de champignons médicinaux, huiles essentielles bien dosées, drainage du foie, voire stimulation du nerf vague. Il nous rappelle aussi que notre microbiote n'est pas figé, et que nous avons le pouvoir d'agir, à condition d'avoir les bonnes clés.Ce qui m'a frappé, encore une fois, c'est la précision de son approche et sa volonté de redonner aux patients la capacité d'être acteurs de leur santé.

Megan chats with Karissa Parrish from Ginger Snaps Baking Affairs about the three powerful blogging strategies she's embracing in 2025 that are moving the needle in her business. Karissa is the food photographer and recipe developer behind the dessert blog, Ginger Snap's Baking Affairs. She started her food blog in early 2020 with the number one goal of providing fellow home bakers with the confidence they need to bake up homemade and tasty desserts in their own kitchens. What started out as a hobby and needing a creative outlet outside of work and every day life has turned into a thriving and continually growing 5 figure business that allows her to stay at home with her son while still working on the blog. In this episode, you'll learn how narrowing your focus, updating existing content, and implementing a smart interlinking strategy can lead to increased traffic and a more aligned blogging business. Key points discussed include: - Content clustering is a powerful strategy: Karissa is narrowing her recipe categories to a handful of focused clusters like cupcakes, cakes, and frostings, helping her increase traffic and efficiency. - Updating old content is non-negotiable: Instead of letting older posts sit stagnant, Karissa revamps them with user-first formatting, stronger H2s, and keyword enhancements. - Interlinking strengthens your blog's structure: Smart interlinking throughout posts (not just at the end!) boosts SEO and helps readers find more value on your site. - Work smarter, not harder: Karissa now creates less new content and focuses more time on refreshing older posts, which is yielding better results in less time. - Let data and joy guide your niche decisions: She recommends blending Google Search Console insights with what genuinely excites you to decide what to focus on. - Build your authority through storytelling: Karissa adds personal background and expertise into blog posts and links back to her About page to build trust and relevance. - Mindset matters just as much as strategy: She reminds us that improving a little each day—even if that means taking a break—is key to long-term blogging success.

“Visibility in the age of AI isn't just about ranking anymore—it's about being understood, trusted, and retrievable by the machines your buyers now rely on. These engines extract only the most relevant chunks of content to answer the query. And if your message isn't structured clearly or consistent across channels, you risk being invisible.” That's a quote from David Kirkdorffer and a sneak peek at today's episode.Hi there, I'm Kerry Curran, B2B Revenue Growth Executive Advisor, Industry Analyst, and host of Revenue Boost: A Marketing Podcast. Every episode, I sit down with top experts to bring you actionable strategies that drive real results. If you're serious about growth, hit subscribe to stay ahead of your competition.In The New SEO Frontier: How Marketers Can Win Visibility in the Age of AI, I sit down with David Kirkdorffer. He's a B2B marketing strategist and generative SEO expert. We break down how your content, website, and messaging must evolve to be visible in LLM-powered search. We explore what's changed, what still works, and what's next—so your brand stays front and center no matter which AI engine your buyer turns to.Be sure to stay to the end, where David shares why team alignment across content, SEO, PR, and partnerships is your best defense—and greatest opportunity—in an AI-first future. Let's go.Kerry Curran, RBMA (00:01.422)So, welcome, David. Please introduce yourself and share your background and expertise.David Kirkdorffer (00:07.466)Hi, Kerry, and thank you so much for bringing me on the show. My background: I am a B2B marketer. I've been doing B2B marketing for—let's say—30-plus years. I have focused most of my career on generating leads for sales teams, and that is still my focus, though the way that is done nowadays has certainly changed.I've worked mostly in technology companies, selling technology to technology departments—so IT tech for IT tech consumers. Over the years, that has gone from enterprise accounts, as technologies became more democratized, down to medium-sized businesses and small businesses.So that's briefly about me.Kerry Curran, RBMA (01:00.214)Excellent. David, I know you have been deep into the research around what I'll introduce as the evolution of SEO. Tell me: What are you hearing? What triggered your interest in diving into gaining visibility for brands within the GPTs and other AI engines?David Kirkdorffer (01:25.994)Right. OK, that's a great question. Given my background of trying to get information into buyers' hands—being buyer-centric—a number of years ago I focused on what we might call buyer enablement and the buyer experience: the buyer being successful in finding the information they're looking for on our website. I realized that a lot of the great information buyers want sits behind a gate where you have to speak to a sales rep.The idea I was working with—and many people, of course, not just me—was, “Can we get this information onto our website so that when buyers come, they can find what they need and say, ‘This looks like a good fit'?” Along come these LLMs, and now all of a sudden I'm thinking, “How do I AI-enable training? How do I make sure the AIs have the information that answers buyer questions?”In a way, AI LLM tools are a disintermediating force separating my buyer from my answer. They're turning to the ChatGPTs, the Geminis, the Perplexities, the Claudes, the Copilots, and various other tools—some specialized for particular domains. Our challenge is to make sure our answers are read, understood, and correctly represented within these LLMs so that, when a buyer goes there for an answer, our brand is visible.It's much more effective for a buyer to ask questions with ChatGPT, and you might ask the same question to four or five tools just to validate, because they all have different information sets, models, crawlers, and licensing agreements. Therefore, you may have high visibility in one and low visibility in another. Training data differs; retrieval data differs; the models themselves differ—so they have different “brains,” just like different people. That's what brought me into this: trying to be customer-centric and helping my salespeople so that, when buyers do find information, our brand is there.Kerry Curran, RBMA (04:27.744)That's excellent, David, and it's such a hot topic. I don't think I can go through a few hours of my day without it coming up. I know you've been evangelizing it a lot, which I'm sure generates many questions. What are the main questions people ask you about this capability and opportunity?David Kirkdorffer (04:51.442)Everyone wants to know, “What am I supposed to do? How is this different—is it different?” Two main lines of inquiry emerge. One comes from senior marketing leaders—the CMO or someone at a higher level—who wants to understand what they and their teams can do holistically. The other is very tactical: people approach it from their domain expertise—website, SEO, content—and ask, “What do I do within my lane that makes an impact?”The truth is, it's a bit of both. In my view, it's a holistic problem to solve. You can operate in just one tactical lane—website, SEO, or content—and it will have an impact. When you combine them, the impact is amplified, and it should also involve your PR, partner, and demand-gen teams; their work can help or hurt how your brand is recognized and surfaces in answers. So those two lanes—holistic and tactical—intertwine, and where you start depends on team size and resources.Kerry Curran, RBMA (06:48.354)If the main question is “How do I do this?” what do you think people should be asking first? What's the right starting point?David Kirkdorffer (07:01.140)I think you need a big-picture view of how this is different and what drives it—how GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) actually differs from SEO. It even has many acronyms: generative engine optimization, AI optimization, LLM optimization, and more.Kerry Curran, RBMA (07:38.732)Based on your work, which term do you prefer?David Kirkdorffer (07:44.744)I like “generative engine optimization.” Unfortunately, “GEO” means other things in other domains, which is part of the problem—both technically and from a brand standpoint. When we use shortcuts like acronyms, we know what they mean; the LLM doesn't. It could interpret “MRO,” for example, as any of 50 different things until you spell it out first.Kerry Curran, RBMA (08:24.150)Earlier you said it starts with a mindset. What mindset should people adopt to lean into improving their strategies here?David Kirkdorffer (08:46.292)At the highest level, LLMs and GEO replace the short keyword query box with a large window where users add lots of context. Through vectorization—turning language into math—the LLM finds little chunks of information, the “needles,” rather than presenting a haystack of links. It compares those chunks, validates them against other sources, and synthesizes an answer.We often don't know or care where the answer came from, as long as it's accurate. But that means the LLM isn't reading your whole page; it's reading segments. So this isn't just a technical SEO challenge—it's about the words themselves: how we phrase them, how we make them easy to understand, and how we avoid letting brand personality cloud clarity.Because of “chunking,” answers often come from two or three sentences—maybe 200–300 words—not entire pages. So we need to optimize those chunks.Kerry Curran, RBMA (13:06.506)Before we dive deeper into tactics, explain how these platforms differ from Google's traditional search engines and why that demands a different strategy.David Kirkdorffer (13:41.514)Think of GEO as standing on the shoulders of SEO. If your SEO is weak, the shoulders aren't strong. Some say, “This is just a new kind of SEO,” and there's truth in that. Others think, “We just need to do good marketing,” and that's also true. But with GEO, some shortcuts we've taken—like heavy JavaScript or hidden tab content—now have new impacts because LLMs don't execute JavaScript or click tabs.For example, if your page uses tabs for five benefits, the LLM sees only the first one; it can't click the others. It forces us to reevaluate design choices, because GEO cares about different things.Kerry Curran, RBMA (16:11.054)So SEO is shifting from technical crawlability to a content-first approach—almost back to the early days of SEO. When you talk about chunking content, best practices seem to be resurfacing. What should we consider when writing content now?David Kirkdorffer (17:34.914)The best practice is simply doing what we've always known: write clearly for the reader. LLMs struggle with poetic or highly stylized language; they understand literal, structured information. Our challenge is to provide that clarity without becoming too dry. In the future, LLMs may understand nuance better, but for now, literal clarity wins.Kerry Curran, RBMA (21:09.686)There's still a technical aspect—different from technical SEO a few years ago—like tagging. Why is that more important than ever?David Kirkdorffer (21:09.686)We have semantic tags—H1, H2, H3, etc.—but many treat them as visual elements. You might find an H6 above an H2 because it looks good, but that confuses the LLM. Ideally, one H1 states what the page is about, multiple H2s mark subtopics, H3s detail components, and so on. When that hierarchy is broken, the LLM can't map ideas correctly, and your content may be excluded from answers.Kerry Curran, RBMA (25:57.034)Old is new again: off-site SEO also matters. Why is consistency off-site so critical, and what should brands do?David Kirkdorffer (25:57.034)B2B marketers want their message on as many authoritative sites as possible. A small brand's site may have little traffic, so its signal is weak. Getting listed in directories or partner sites amplifies that signal. In the old days, “brand police” ensured consistent boilerplates—25-, 50-, 100-word descriptions—so customers weren't confused. LLMs work the same way: if they see the same wording consistently, they trust it. When every team tweaks the message, it creates variations that confuse the model, so consistency is key.Kerry Curran, RBMA (30:33.718)This has been super valuable. For listeners who know they need to start right away, what's the most important first step?David Kirkdorffer (30:59.392)First, learn how these systems work. You don't need deep technical knowledge, but understand the impact. If you're in a specific lane—SEO, content, web—still learn the bigger picture so your choices align with the new reality. Then triage: audit where you'll work first based on team size and resources.Gather the whole team—web, SEO, content, PR, demand gen—so everyone hears one story and understands how their actions affect each other. Agencies should know what they can and can't do and set expectations. After learning and auditing, remember this is ongoing, like SEO has always been.Finally, be present where your customers go. Different LLMs rely on different data sources—Reddit, Wikipedia, licensed content—and those arrangements change. Go where your customers already spend time.Kerry Curran, RBMA (36:06.339)Excellent. For folks who want to learn more or bring you in to help their team, how can they reach you?David Kirkdorffer (36:42.518)The best way is through LinkedIn.

The missed opportunity was in the firing of a worker in 2017 for calling an ambulance in response to an H2S gas poisoning at GC-30 in the North Kuwait Asset. Instead, he could have been listened to for stating that people are punished for speaking up about safety issues. NBTC, Amec Foster Wheeler, Petrofac and the Kuwait Oil Company could then have changed their safety practices.

L'art de reconnaître la réduction dans le vin ------------------------ Vous ouvrez une belle bouteille, et … une odeur désagréable s'échappe de votre verre. Allumette, œuf pourri, chou cuit ou même caoutchouc brûlé ? Il s'agit vraisemblablement de réduction. Voilà ce que vous devez retenir à ce sujet ! Qu'est-ce que la réduction ? Pour simplifier, elle survient souvent lorsque le vin est dans un milieu fermé, comme pendant l'élevage ou en bouteille. Ce phénomène crée des arômes particuliers, qui résultent de la combinaison de l'absence d'oxygène et de la présence de composés soufrés. Quels arômes reconnaître ? Au 1ers stades : Allumette, ...(Composé responsable : le dioxyde de soufre, ou SO2) Par la suite: Œuf pourri, chou, caoutchouc brûlé, marais.( Composé responsable : le sulfure d'hydrogène ou H2S, voire mercaptan). Que faire face à un vin réduit ? Faites tourner le vin dans le verre pour l'oxygéner. Utilisez une carafe large pour aérer encore plus le vin. Cette oxygénation peut constituer une solution, si la réduction n'est pas assimilée à un défaut. Au-dessus d'un certain seuil, il n'y a malheureusement rien à faire, et le vin n'aura d'autre destin que de finir dans l'évier Tout cela, je vous en parle en détail dans cette leçon vidéo "Voilà comment reconnaître la RÉDUCTION dans le vin", à retrouver sur ma chaine : A bientôt !

Sintana Energy CEO Robert Bose recently spoke with Steve Darling from Proactive to provide an update on the company's second exploration campaign in Namibia's Orange Basin. The campaign is focused on Blocks 2813A and 2814B, governed by Petroleum Exploration License 83 (PEL 83), which is operated by Galp Energia. Sintana indirectly holds a 49% interest in Custos Energy, which maintains a 10% working interest in PEL 83, alongside NAMCOR's 10% stake. The PEL 83 Joint Venture recently announced a significant milestone: the successful drilling and logging of the Mopane-2A well (Well #4), which spud on December 2. The exploration revealed hydrocarbons in two reservoirs: a gas-condensate column in AVO-3, characterized by thin net pay within its sweet spot, and a light oil column in AVO-4. Bose highlighted the reservoirs' promising characteristics, including high-quality sands with excellent porosity, permeability, pressure, and fluid properties. Additionally, the reservoirs exhibited minimal CO2 content and no H2S or water contacts, further underscoring their quality. The data collected from Mopane-2A is now under analysis to deepen the understanding of the Mopane complex and evaluate its commercial viability. Meanwhile, the drillship has relocated to the Mopane-3X exploration well (Well #5) site, where drilling is set to target two stacked prospects, AVO-10 and AVO-13. Spudding for this well is scheduled for early January. This progress reflects Sintana Energy's commitment to advancing its exploration initiatives in one of the world's most promising emerging hydrocarbon basins. #proactiveinvestors #sintanaenergyinc #tsxv #sei #otcqb #seusf #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews #OilExploration #Namibia #OrangeBasin #EnergySector #PEL83 #RobertBose #GalpEnergia #Chevron #QatarEnergy #EnergyNews #ProactiveInvestors #2025EnergyTrends #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Send us a message with this link, we would love to hear from you. Standard message rates may apply.This episode explores the science behind flatulence odor and introduces a simple, over-the-counter remedy: Pepto-Bismol. The episode explains that the unpleasant odor associated with flatulence is primarily caused by hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gas produced in the colon during the breakdown of food. Pepto-Bismol, or bismuth subsalicylate, works by binding to hydrogen sulfide in the colon and reducing the amount of gas released. The episode highlights a study published in Gastroenterology which found that bismuth subsalicylate significantly reduced H2S release in human fecal samples. Participants in the study experienced a greater than 95% reduction in fecal H2S release after taking Pepto-Bismol for 3-7 days. The episode also emphasizes the importance of consulting a doctor before using Pepto-Bismol, especially for those with medical conditions or taking other medications.Support the showProduction and Content: Edward Delesky, MD & Nicole Aruffo, RNArtwork: Olivia Pawlowski

This post was cross-posted by the Forum team with the permission of the author. The author may not see or respond to comments on this post. Greetings from Shrimp Welfare Project! Our team is excited to announce the launch of our new webpage dedicated to the Humane Slaughter Initiative! This initiative aims to revolutionise the way shrimps are stunned prior to slaughter and pave the way for the future of ethical shrimp production. Learn more about this new page below. In a newly published article on our website highlighting the urgency of responsible pond management, findings revealed alarmingly toxic hydrogen sulphide levels in shrimp ponds in India's Serepalem village, prompting a successful sludge removal intervention that significantly improved conditions - underscoring the imperative of sustainable practices for shrimp welfare and farm productivity. Tamar Stelling wrote a piece for De Correspondent in the Netherlands, highlighting our corporate engagement work with a focus on electrical stunning. It is a mix of in-depth shrimp welfare discussion, some recognition where it is due (e.g. Albert Heijn), and a lot of fun! Have a great week! Léa | SWP Communications Lead The Humane Slaughter Initiative webpage SWP is thrilled to announce the launch of our Humane Slaughter Initiative webpage! What's the initiative about? Until the end of 2025, SWP is providing ~24 shrimp producers with free electrical stunners on the condition they use it to stun a minimum of 1,500-2,000 metric tons of shrimp per year. The goal is to accelerate industry adoption of this more humane stunning method ahead of expected buyer demands and regulations. Why is it impactful? Scientific literature establishes shrimp sentience. In addition, consumer demand for higher welfare standards is increasing globally. Electrical stunning is also recognised as the most humane pre-slaughter method currently available for shrimps. It renders shrimp unconscious faster and more effectively than ice slurry immersion or asphyxia. Leading retailers like M&S and John Lewis Partnership have already committed to using electrical stunning, setting the stage for industry-wide adoption. What will you find on the page? This page serves as your go-to resource for our initiative, offering an in-depth overview, a breakdown of how Ace Aquatec and Optimar equipment function, and a summary of the eligibility requirements. Any questions? Our FAQ section may have your answers. Ready to apply? Fill out the application form you will find on the page. Tackling Hydrogen Sulphide levels in shrimp farms In a recently published article, Shrimp Welfare Project conducted a crucial study in the village of Serepalem, Andhra Pradesh, India, which found alarming findings of toxic levels of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) in all 38 tested ponds. This poses a severe respiratory toxin for shrimps. As an intervention, SWP facilitated sludge removal in a pond with 10 years of build-up, leading to a significant drop in H2S from hazardous to near-threshold levels. This small but impactful study underscores the importance of regular pond maintenance through cost-effective sludge removal to improve shrimp welfare and farm productivity. Moving forward, SWP plans to expand this sustainable intervention to other neglected areas.

Hepatic Hydrogen Sulfide Levels are Reduced in Mouse Model of Progeria

A new research paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 15, Issue 12, entitled, “Hepatic hydrogen sulfide levels are reduced in mouse model of Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.” Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare human disease characterized by accelerated biological aging. Current treatments are limited, and most patients die before 15 years of age. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important gaseous signaling molecule that is central to multiple cellular homeostasis mechanisms. Dysregulation of tissue H2S levels is thought to contribute to an aging phenotype in many tissues across animal models. Whether H2S is altered in HGPS is unknown. In a new study, researchers Stephen E. Wilkie, Diana E. Marcu, Roderick N. Carter, Nicholas M. Morton, Susana Gonzalo, and Colin Selman from the University of Glasgow, University of Edinburgh, Saint Louis University, and Karolinska Institute investigated hepatic H2S production capacity and transcript, protein and enzymatic activity of proteins that regulate hepatic H2S production and disposal in a mouse model of HGPS (G609G mice, mutated Lmna gene equivalent to a causative mutation in HGPS patients). “This study was designed and undertaken due to the lack of understanding in the mechanistic targets of known treatments against HGPS and considering the positive association between H2S and longevity in model organisms.” Here, the researchers employed the HGPS mouse model G609G to test the hypothesis that, in contrast to anti-aging increases in H2S production, the accelerated aging typical of progeroid mice is associated with reduced hepatic H2S production. G609G mice were maintained on either regular chow (RC) or high fat diet (HFD). HFD has been previously shown to significantly extend lifespan of G609G mice, and compared to wild type (WT) mice maintained on RC. RC-fed G609G mice had significantly reduced hepatic H2S production capacity relative to WT mice, with a compensatory elevation in mRNA transcripts associated with several H2S production enzymes, including cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE). H2S levels and CSE protein were partially rescued in HFD fed G609G mice. The data acquired here confirmed some aspects of the relevance of H2S in HGPS but raises more questions about the specific mechanisms at play. “Regardless, the work presented here addresses an area of research that remains critically understudied and provides new evidence that the accelerated ageing phenotype observed in HGPS may be partially explained by a reduction in hepatic H2S levels.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.204835 Corresponding authors - Colin Selman - colin.selman@glasgow.ac.uk, and Stephen E.

Bâtonnage This is a technique used by winemakers, where the lees (yeast cells) are stirred into solution. Nano proteins are the biggest benefit of Bâtonnage They release into the cider providing a perception of sweetness and body with out the sugar Need at least 9 months to a year to get the nano proteins There are short term benefits. Yeast produces less carbon dioxide and bubbles. They slow down after the first primary ferment. Fermentation may have stopped but there is still sugar left. Lees absorb off aromas, except for H2S rotting egg smell. Bâtonnage helps to maintain a reductive state. Full reduction - rotting smell is a type of reduction. Which helps protect the cider from oxidization and protect the flavor components.

Google's very own Martin Splitt joined me on the SEJ Show to share his thoughts and opinions on various technical SEO topics, such as Semantic HTML, Google Search Console, indexing, and client-side rendering. Explore how to leverage these powerful tools to improve your website's SEO. Prefer to watch the video? Register here: http://bit.ly/3YQxzG7  I would say make sure that you are focusing on the content quality and that you are focusing on delivering value to your users. Those have been, will always be, and are the most important things. Everything else should follow from that. –Martin Splitt Suppose you are fine-tuning technical details or your website's structure or markup. In that case, you are likely missing out on the more significant opportunities of asking yourself what people need from your website. –Martin Splitt This question keeps coming up. This is not the first time and will not be the last time this question will come up and continue to be asked. I don't know why everyone thinks about who, what value, or who. It's about structure. I can't emphasize this enough, if you choose to have H1s as your top-level structure of the content, that's fine. It just means that the top level of the content is structured along the H1s. –Martin Splitt   [00:00] - About Martin [02:47] - Why Semantic SEO is important. [04:22] - Is there anything that can be done within Semantic HTML to better communicate with Google? [06:02] - Should schema markup information match what's in the document? [08:24] - What parts of Semantic search does Google need the most help with? [09:19] - What is Martin's opinion on header tags? [14:22] - Is the responsibility of implementing Semantic HTML on the SEO or the developer? [16:19] - How accessible is Semantic HTML within a WordPress, or Gutenberg-style  environment?  [19:58] - How compatible is Semantic HTML with WCAG? [21:08] - What is the relationship of Semantic HTML to the overall concept of the Semantic web RDF, etc.? [25:04] - Can the wrong thumbnails be rectified utilizing Semantic HTML? [28:42] - Is there another type of schema markup that can still refer to the organization and use IDs on article pages? [32:10] - Can adding schema markup to show the product category hierarchy and modifying HTML help Google understand the relationship between the product and its category? [33:49] - Is preserving header hierarchy more critical than which header you use? [36:36] - Is it bad practice to display different content on pages to returning users versus new users? [40:08] - What are the best practices for error handling with SPAs? [45:31] - What is the best way to deal with search query parameters being indexed in Google?  [48:02] - Should you be worried about product pages not being included within the XML site map? [50:26] - How does Google prioritize headers? [56:00] - How important is it for developers and SEOs to start implementing Semantic HTML now? [57:31] - What should SEO & developers be focusing on?   If you understand that it's a 404, you have two options because two things can happen that you don't want to happen. One is an error page that gets indexed and appears in search results where it shouldn't. The other thing is that you are creating 404s in the search console and probably muddling with your data. –Martin Splitt If you have one H1 and nothing else under it except for H2s and then content H2 and then content H2, that doesn't change anything. That means you structured your content differently. You didn't structure it better. You didn't structure it worse. You just structured it differently. –Martin Splitt   For more content like this, subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/searchenginejournal  Are you looking to keep up with current and effective digital marketing today?

1. YouTube #golivetogether Feature Update - YouTube has announced that it's opening up its ‘Go Live Together (#golivetogether)' option to more users from next week, which will provide more creative considerations for your live-streams in the app.Go Live Together enables you to invite another YouTube user to your stream, with the video then displayed in vertical split-screen, providing new engagement and interaction options during a YouTube live broadcast. That could open up new opportunities for brands to run live interviews or internal spotlight sessions on their YouTube channel, while also facilitating Q and A sessions and other options to build engagement among your YouTube community. Hosts will be able to rotate the guest on their live-stream, but only one guest at a time will be able to take part in the broadcast.YouTube will also allow pre-roll, mid-roll, and post-roll ads on Go Live Together streams, which will be attributed to the host channel of the broadcast. YouTube says that all channels with at least 50 subscribers will soon be able to launch Live Together streams, with the roll-out beginning next week – though YouTube does note that it may take a few weeks to become available to all users.2. Instagram Subscriptions - Launched as a limited test back in January, subscriptions on Instagram are now available to all eligible US creators. Subscriptions allow creators to offer exclusive content in exchange for a recurring monthly payment from their followers. To see if you're eligible for Instagram Subscriptions, open the Instagram app and go to your professional dashboard. If you're eligible, you'll see an option to set up subscriptions for your account. With this feature activated, you can start posting subscriber-only: Live Streams  Stories  Badges  Posts  Reels  Group chats  Broadcast channels You can promote subscriptions in your Instagram stories with a dedicated sticker. When users tap on the sticker, they're taken to the subscription page. In addition to exclusive content, subscribers also get a special badge next to their name when commenting on posts.3. Facebook Professional Profile Is Now Available To All Users - Facebook's professional profile mode is now available to users worldwide, allowing everyone to showcase their skills and abilities. Facebook's “Professional Mode” is a profile setting that removes the need to create a Facebook Page to get your content in front of a larger audience. Also, you can now earn money from your Reels, or by enabling ads before, during, and after longer videos. Lastly, you can allow your fans to increase their support for you with a monthly subscription and share subscriber-only content. To learn more about Professional profile, click here.4. New UET Tag Dashboard In Microsoft Clarity - Understanding both user behavior and customer journey is crucial for successful marketing. To empower you with richer insights in a seamless experience, Microsoft launched Microsoft Clarity offering insights for Microsoft Advertising on Oct 18, 2021.  In hindsight, this is something I should have covered in Episode#79 and now regret skipping over the launch announcement.Anyways, Microsoft Clarity helps you better understand post-click user behavior and engagement on your landing pages because it's powered by the Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag that you place across your website. Now there's also a new UET tag dashboard which can help you monitor tag data and fix any issues that arise. This is a one-stop shop for all things UET, including real-time insights into the data that gets sent via UET tags and troubleshooting action recommendations.5. Microsoft Rolls Out Import Tool For Google Ads Performance Max - To simplify duplicating your efforts across platforms when using Google Ad's Performance Max campaigns, Microsoft Advertising has rolled out an update in their Google Import tool that allows advertisers to duplicate their Google Ads Performance Max campaigns.  Currently they only support Performance Max campaigns that use a Merchant center and will import the campaigns as Smart Shopping Campaigns and Local Inventory Ads. They have also started a pilot solution for importing your other Performance Max campaigns that aren't using the Merchant Center, starting with an experience that will import these campaigns as Search campaigns and create Dynamic Search Ads (DSA).Click here to learn more about on how to import your Performance Max campaigns in to Microsoft.6. Microsoft Ads Expands Availability Of ‘Similar Audiences' - If you're looking to expand your reach and find new potential customers, Similar Audiences automatically find new customers for you by looking for people who are similar to those in your remarketing lists. These audiences are generated automatically by Microsoft Advertising once you have a remarketing list in place. Similar Audiences can be used in the US and Canada, and the great news is that they're now generally available in more markets 7. Similar Audiences Is Going Away In Google Ads - Starting May 1, 2023, Google Ads will no longer generate similar audiences (also referred to as “similar segments”) for targeting and reporting. If you have active campaigns with similar segments, those will remain with your campaigns until August 1, 2023. After August 1, similar segments will be removed from all ad groups and campaigns. You'll continue to have access to historical reporting for similar segments from past campaigns. According to Google, In place of similar segments, different campaign types will offer different solutions to help you leverage your first-party data, reach the right audience, and improve campaign performance so that you can optimize directly for your business goals.If you have been using similar segments on Display, Discovery, or Video Action campaigns, and haven't yet turned on optimized targeting, you should turn on optimized targeting to reach additional relevant and expanded audiences and optimize for your conversion goals.If you have been using similar segments on Awareness and Reach video or Consideration video campaigns, you should include your first-party data segments in your ad groups, and turn on audience expansion to reach people similar to those in your first-party data.If you have been using similar segments on Search or Shopping campaigns and are not using Smart Bidding, you should use Smart Bidding with your campaigns. If you're using Smart Bidding already, or running Performance Max campaigns, you don't need to take any action, since Performance Max campaigns automatically leverage signals from your first-party data.8. Google Introduces New Search Labels For Coupons & Promos - According to a recent survey by Google, among Americans planning to shop for the holidays, 43% are planning to look for deals and sales more than last year. And Google is a central part of the shopping experience for US customers. On average, 60% say they've used Google properties for shopping in the past two days. To help searchers find the items they want at the best available prices, Google is updating shopping search results with new labels highlighting coupons and promotions and the ability to compare prices from multiple retailers.The promotion badge in search results on items that offer a discount using a coupon code, such as “15% off with coupon code HOLIDAYS.” Furthermore, a new coupon clipping feature lets searchers save promo codes for when they're ready to buy. This is similar to what Bing already has in-place for a while. A new deal comparison tool in Google search results makes it easier to view deals across retailers. For example, if you search for “women's puffer coat,” Google will display a side-by-side comparison of available deals in the SERPs.Lastly, Google's price insights feature is coming to search results to help shoppers make more informed buying decisions. Price insights allow you to see prices across merchants and whether the price is low or high based on historical values.If you are looking to tap into all the good things mentioned above then you need to make sure you are using structured data and Google Merchant Center. And don't forget you can always see how your deals are performing and review your business' promotions as well through Google Merchant Center. 9. Google: Search Console Verified Sites Do Not Get Crawled More - Google's John Mueller was asked if sites that are verified with Google Search Console get crawled more often or at a higher priority. The answer is no, "crawling is independent of Search Console," John said.Yes, you can use the URL Inspection tool to manually push URLs to be crawled faster but that is on a URL by URL basis and must be done mostly manually. Otherwise, just having a Search Console account won't lead to expedited crawling.10. Google: Don't Rely Only On Backlinks For Rankings - Backlinks (also known as “inbound links”, “incoming links” or “one way links”) are links from one website to a page on another website. Google and other major search engines consider backlinks “votes” for a specific page. Pages with a high number of backlinks tend to have high organic search engine rankings. And back in March 2016 during a Q&A session, Google's Andrey Lipattsev revealed that backlinks, content and RankBrain are the top three ranking signals in Google's search algorithm. Now Google's John Mueller says that in the future he can see a Google Search ranking algorithm where links are not as important in the overall algorithm as they are today. He also hinted that links are not weighted as much as they were in the history of the Google ranking algorithm. Here is what he had to say when asked about backlinks:“Well, it's something where I imagine, over time, the weight on the links. At some point, will drop off a little bit as we can't figure out a little bit better how the content fits in within the context of the whole web. And to some extent, links will always be something that we care about because we have to find pages somehow. It's like how do you find a page on the web without some reference to it? But my guess is over time, it won't be such a big factor as sometimes it is today. I think already, that's something that's been changing quite a bit”This is a similar message to what Google's head of search spam, Matt Cutts, said in a 2014 video that backlinks, over time, will become a little less important.My advice is that focus on writing better content and do not just rely on backlinks or else you will be in for a big surprise down the road.11. Google: Header Fonts Size Is Irrelevant For SEO - Google's John Mueller was asked "would google deem huge heading font size as a sign of "overdoing it", thus lower quality?" He said that the size of your header tags, i.e. H1s, H2s, etc, does not matter for SEO or ranking purposes. John said it might matter for users and conversions but for SEO, nope. Another SEO myth busted.12. Google: Stop Focusing On Writing Content Solely Based On Search Volume - Google's John Mueller said that if you make your content creation decisions based off of keyword search volume lists, then those pieces of content will be mediocre, at best. What John is saying is that if you are looking for content ideas and use base them on a list of keywords that show high search volume, then the content likely won't be good enough to rank well in Google Search. In short, write content that you can write something awesome about, and do not force your writing based on what people are searching for - especially if you don't know the topic super well.John added, "seeing a list like that as a target for content makes me worry that you're not going to get a lot out of your work, or that your work is going to be quite superficial." He said "I'd look for topics that match your expertise & passion. Where can you contribute that isn't already covered by lots of others, and do so in ways that provide something new & useful? Don't focus on keywords & "search volume" lists like this, they'll lead you into mediocracy."In my opinion, writing content solely on keyword volume is ridiculous. You should be writing your content on what your product, subject, or the market needs are and make it superior to your competitors.Also, if you peruse the Search Essentials document, you will find that Google advices you to: "Use words that people would use to look for your content, and place those words in prominent locations on the page, such as the title and main heading of a page, and other descriptive locations such as alt text and link text." To an untrained eye, it may come across as an implicit advice that you need to write content using keyword lists or research. However, what this means is that instead of creating content on those highly searched keywords, make content about topics you are an expert in and then sprinkle those highly searched keywords.Great Educational and Informative content -- not keywords -- always wins.13. Google: Your Website Doesn't Need 200k+Words To Be Authoritative - A Twitter user @natmiletic claimed that "You need around 200,000 words on your website to be considered authoritative by Google." John replied, "I don't know who made up that 200,000-word number, it's definitely not from Google."I'm including the screenshots just in case the user deletes his tweets.Remember that in 2019, John said word count is not a ranking factor and in 2018 John said word count is not indicative of quality. Google won't penalize you for short articles and Google said short articles can rank well and then again in 2014 said short articles are not low quality. Google has been recently advocating to avoid fluff . In addition, word count is not a sign of thin or how helpful content is or is not. In fact, Google even removed the reference to word count in the Search Console document recently.This goes to show that how much crap & myth is out there. Aren't you glad that you follow the #TWiMshow?

This episode also features an interview with the 2022 BCBS Outstanding Early Career Investigator Award finalists, Dr Hisayuki Hashimoto, Dr Matthew DeBerge and Dr Anja Karlstadt.   Article highlights:   Nguyen, et al. miR-223 in Atherosclerosis.   Choi, et al. Mechanism for Piezo1-Mediated Lymphatic Sprouting   Kamtchum-Tatuene, et al.  Plasma Interleukin-6 and High-Risk Carotid Plaques   Li, et al. 3-MST Modulates BCAA Catabolism in HFrEF   Cindy St. Hilaire:        Hi, and welcome to Discover CircRes, the podcast of the American Heart Association's journal, Circulation Research. I'm your host, Dr Cindy St. Hilaire, from the Vascular Medicine Institute at the University of Pittsburgh. And today I'm going to be highlighting articles from our June 24th, July 8th and July 22nd issues of Circulation Research. I'm also going to have a chat with the finalists for the 2022 BCBS Outstanding Early Career Investigator Award, Dr Hisayuki Hashimoto, Dr Matthew DeBerge and Dr Anja Karlstadt.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        The first article I want to share is from our June 24th issue and is titled, miR-223 Exerts Translational Control of Proatherogenic Genes in Macrophages. The first authors are My-Anh Nguyen and Huy-Dung Hoang, and the corresponding author is Katey Rayner and they're from the University of Ottawa. A combination of cholesterol accumulation in the blood vessels and subsequent chronic inflammation that's derived from this accumulation drive the progression of atherosclerosis. Unfortunately, current standard medications tackle just one of these factors, the cholesterol. And this might explain why many patients on such drugs still have vascular plaques. In considering treatments that work on both aspects of the disease, meaning lipid accumulation and inflammation, this group investigated the micro RNA 223 or miR-223, which is a small regulatory RNA that has been shown to suppress expression of genes involved in both cholesterol uptake and inflammatory pathways in both liver and immune cells.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        The team showed that mouse macrophages deficient in miR-223, exhibited increased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduced cholesterol efflux compared with control cells. Overexpression of miR-223 had the opposite effects. Furthermore, atherosclerosis prone mice, whose hematopoietic cells lacked miR-223, had worse atherosclerosis with larger plaques and higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines than to control animals with normal levels of miR-223. These findings highlight miR-223's dual prompt, antiatherogenic action, which could be leveraged for future therapies.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        The second article I want to share is from our July 8th issue of Circulation Research and is titled, Piezo1-Regulated Mechanotransduction Controls Flow-Activated Lymph Expansion. The first author is Dongwon Choi and the corresponding author is Young-Kwon Hong, and they're from UCLA.   As well as being super highways for immune cells, lymph vessels are drainage channels that help maintain fluid homeostasis in the tissues. This network of branching tubes grows as fluids begin to flow in the developing embryo. This fluid flow induces calcium influx into the lymphatic endothelial cells, which in turn promotes proliferation and migration of these cells, leading to the sprouting of lymph tubules. But how do LECs, the lymphatic endothelial cells, detect fluid flow in the first place? Piezo1 is a flow and mechanosensing protein known for its role in blood vessel development and certain mutations in Piezo1 cause abnormal lymphatic growth in humans.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        This script found that Piezo1 is expressed in the embryonic mouse LECs and that the suppression of Piezo1 inhibits both flow activated calcium entry via the channel ORAI1, as well as downstream target gene activation. Overexpression of Piezo1, by contrast, induced the target genes. The team went on to show that mice lacking either Piezo1 or ORAI1 had lymphatic sprouting defects and that pharmacological activation of Piezo1 in mice enhanced lymphogenesis and prevented edema after tail surgery. Together, the results confirmed Piezo1's role in flow dependent lymphatic growth and suggest it might be a target for treating lymphedema.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        The third article I want to share is also from our July 8th issue and is titled, Interleukin-6 Predicts Carotid Plaque Severity, Vulnerability and Progression. The first and corresponding author of this study is Joseph Kamtchum-Tatuene from University of Alberta.   Excessive plasma cholesterol and systemic inflammation are contributing factors in atherosclerosis. While traditional remedies have been aimed at lowering patient's lipid levels, drugs that tackle inflammation are now under investigation, including those that suppress Interleukin-6, which is an inflammatory cytokine implicated in the disease. Focusing on carotid artery disease, this group conducted a prospective study to determine whether IL-6 levels correlated with disease severity. 4,334 individuals were enrolled in the cardiovascular health study cohort. They had their blood drawn and ultrasounds taken at the start of the study and five years later. This group found IL-6 was robustly correlated with and predicted plaque severity independent of other cardiovascular risk factors. This study also determined that an IL-6 blood plasma level of 2.0 picograms/mls, identified individuals with the highest likelihood of plaque, vulnerability and progression. This threshold value could be used to select patients who might benefit from novel IL-6 lowering medications.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        The last article I want to share is from our July 22nd issue of Circulation Research and is titled, Mitochondrial H2S Regulates BCAA Catabolism in Heart Failure. The first author is Zhen Li, and the corresponding author is David Lefer from Louisiana State University. Hydrogen sulfide, or H2S, is a compound that exerts mitochondrial specific actions that include the preservation of oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondrial biogenesis and ATP synthesis, as well as inhibiting cell death. 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase, or 3-MST, is a mitochondrial H2S producing enzyme, whose functions in cardiovascular disease are not fully understood.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        This group investigated the global effects of 3-MST deficiency in the setting of pressure overload induced heart failure. They found that 3-MST was significantly reduced in the myocardium of patients with heart failure, compared with non failing controls. 3-MST knockout mice exhibited increased accumulation of branch chain amino acids in the myocardium, which was associated with reduced myocardial respiration and ATP synthesis, exacerbated cardiac and vascular dysfunction, and worsened exercise performance, following transverse aortic constriction. Restoring myocardial branched-chain amino acid catabolism, or administration of a potent H2S donor, ameliorated the detrimental effects of 3-MST deficiency and heart failure with reduced injection fraction. These data suggest that 3-MST derived mitochondrial H2S, may play a regulatory role in branch chain amino acid catabolism, and mediate critical cardiovascular protection in heart failure.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        Today, I'm really excited to have our guests, who are the finalists for the BCVS Outstanding Early Career Investigator Awards. Welcome everyone.   Hisayuki Hashimoto:   Thank you.   Anja Karlstaedt:          Hi.   Hisayuki Hashimoto:   Hi.   Matthew DeBerge:      Hello. Thank you.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        So the finalists who are with me today are Dr Hisayuki Hashimoto from Keio University School of Medicine in Tokyo, Japan, Dr Matthew Deberge from Northwestern University in Chicago and Dr Anja Karlstaedt from Cedar Sinai Medical Center in LA. Thank you again. Congratulations. And I'm really excited to talk about your science.   Hisayuki Hashimoto:   Thank you. Yes. Thanks, first of all for this opportunity to join this really exciting group and to talk about myself and ourselves. I am Hisayuki Hashimoto, I'm from Tokyo, Japan. I actually learned my English... I went to an American school in a country called Zaire in Africa and also Paris, France because my father was a diplomat and I learned English there. After coming back to Japan, I went to medical school. During my first year of rotation, I was really interested in cardiology, so I decided to take a specialized course for cardiology. Then I got interested in basic science, so I took a PhD course, and that's what brought me to this cardiology cardiovascular research field.   Matthew DeBerge:      So I'm currently a research assistant professor at Northwestern University. I'm actually from the Chicagoland area, so I'm really excited to welcome you all to my hometown for the BCVS meeting.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        Oh, that's right. And AHA is also there too this year. So you'll see a lot of everybody.   Matthew DeBerge:      I guess I get the home field advantage, so to speak. So, I grew up here, I did my undergrad here, and then went out in the east coast, Dartmouth College in New Hampshire for my PhD training. And actually, I was a viral immunologist by training, so I did T cells. When I was looking for a postdoctoral position, I was looking for a little bit of something different and came across Dr Edward Thorpe's lab at Northwestern university, where the interest and the focus is macrophages in tissue repair after MI. So, got into the macrophages in the heart and have really enjoyed the studies here and have arisen as a research assistant professor now within the Thorpe lab. Now we're looking to transition my own independent trajectory. Kind of now looking beyond just the heart and focusing how cardiovascular disease affects other organs, including the brain. That's kind of where I'm starting to go now. Next is looking at the cardiovascular crosstalk with brain and how this influences neuroinflammation.   Anja Karlstaedt:          I am like Hisayuki, I'm also a medical doctor. I did my medical training and my PhD in Berlin at the Charité University Medicine in Berlin, which is a medical faculty from Humboldt University and Freie University. II got really interested in mathematical modeling of complex biological systems. And so I started doing my PhD around cardiac metabolism and that was a purely core and computationally based PhD. And while I was doing this, I got really hooked into metabolism. I wanted to do my own experiments to further advance the model, but also to study more in crosstalk cardiac metabolism. I joined Dr Heinrich Taegteyer lab at the University of Texas in the Texas Medical Center, and stayed there for a couple of years. And while I was discovering some of the very first interactions between leukemia cells and the heart, I decided I cannot stop. I cannot go back just after a year. I need to continue this project and need to get funding. And so after an AHA fellowship and NIHK99, I am now here at Cedars Sinai, an assistant professor in cardiology and also with a cross appointment at the cancer center and basically living the dream of doing translational research and working in cardio-oncology.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        Great. So, Dr Hashimoto, the title of your submission is, Cardiac Reprogramming Inducer ZNF281 is Indispensable for Heart Development by Interacting with Key Cardiac Transcriptional Factors. This is obviously focused on reprogramming, but why do we care about cardiac reprogramming and what exactly did you find about this inducer ZNF281?   Hisayuki Hashimoto:   Thank you for the question. So, I mean, as I said, I'm a cardiologist and I was always interested in working heart regeneration. At first, I was working with pluripotent stem cells derived cardiomyocyte, but then I changed my field during my postdoc into directly programming by making cardiomyocyte-like cells from fiberblast. But after working in that field, I kind of found that it was a very interesting field that we do artificially make a cardiomyocyte-like cell. But when I dissected the enhanced landscape, epigenetic analysis showed that there are very strong commonalities between cardiac reprogramming and heart development. So I thought that, hey, maybe we can use this as a tool to discover new networks of heart development. And the strength is that cardiac reprogramming in vitro assay hardly opens in vivo assay, so it's really time consuming. But using dark programming, we can save a lot of time and money to study the cardiac transitional networks. And we found this DNF281 from an unbiased screen, out of 1000 human open reading frames. And we found that this gene was a very strong cardiac reprogramming inducer, but there was no study reporting about any functioning heart development. We decided to study this gene in heart development, and we found out that it is an essential gene in heart development and we were kind of able to discover a new network in heart development.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        And you actually used, I think it was three different CRE drivers? Was that correct to study?   Hisayuki Hashimoto:   Ah, yes. Yeah.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        How did you pick those different drivers and what, I guess, cell population or progenitor cell population did those drivers target?   Hisayuki Hashimoto:   So I decided to use a mesodermal Cre-driver, which is a Mesp1Cre and a cardiac precursor Cre-driver, which is the Nkx2-5 Cre and the cardiomyocyte Cre, which is the Myh6-Cre. So three differentiation stages during heart development, and we found out that actually, DNF281 is an essential factor during mesodermal to cardiac precursor differentiation state. We're still trying to dig into the molecular mechanism, but at that stage, if the DNF281 is not there, we are not able to make up the heart.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        That is so interesting. Did you look at any of the strains that survived anyway? Did you look at any phenotypes that might present in adulthood? Is there anything where the various strains might have survived, but then there's a kind of longer-term disease implicating phenotype that's observed.   Hisayuki Hashimoto:   Well, thank you for the question. Actually, the mesodermal Cre-driver knocking out the DNF281 in that stage is embryonic lethal, and it does make different congenital heart disease. And they cannot survive until after embryonic day 14.5. The later stage Nkx2-5 Cre and Myh6-Cre, interestingly, they do survive after birth. And then in adult stage, I did also look into the tissues, but the heart is functioning normally. I haven't stressed them, but they develop and they're alive after one year. It looks like there's really no like phenotype at like the homeostatic status.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        Interesting. So it's kind of like, once they get over that developmental hump, they're okay.   Hisayuki Hashimoto:   Exactly. That might also give us an answer. What kind of network is important for cardiac reprogramming?   Cindy St. Hilaire:        So what are you going to do next?   Hisayuki Hashimoto:   Thank you. I'm actually trying to dig into the transitional network of what kind of cardiac transitional network the ZNF281 is interacting with, so that maybe I can find a new answer to any etiology of congenital heart disease, because even from a single gene, different mutation, different variants arise different phenotypes in congenital heart disease. Maybe if I find a new interaction with any key cardiac transitional factors, maybe I could find a new etiology of congenital heart disease phenotype.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        That would be wonderful. Well, best of luck with that. Congratulations on an excellent study. Hisayuki Hashimoto:   Thank you.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        Dr DeBerge, your study was titled, Unbiased Discovery of Allograft Inflammatory Factor-1 as a New and Critical Immuno Metabolic Regulatory Node During Cardiac Injury. Congrats on this very cool study. You were really kind of focused on macrophages in myocardial infarction. And macrophages, they're a Jeckel Hyde kind of cell, right? They're good. They're bad. They can be both, almost at the same time, sometimes it seems like. So why were you interested in macrophages particularly in myocardial infarction, and what did you discover about this allograft inflammatory factor-1, or AIF1 protein?   Matthew DeBerge:      Thank you. That's the great question. You really kind of alluded to why we're interested in macrophages in the heart after tissue repair. I mean, they really are the central mediators at both pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory responses after myocardial infarction. Decades of research before this have shown that inflammation has increased acutely after MI and has also increased in heart failure patients, which really has led to the development of clinical efforts to target inflammatory mediators after MI. Now, unfortunately, the results to target inflammation after MI, thus far, have been modest or disappointing, I guess, at worst, in the respect that broadly targeting macrophage function, again, hasn't achieved results. Again, because these cells have both pro and anti-inflammatory functions and targeting specific mediators has been somewhat effective, but really hasn't achieved the results we want to see.   Matthew DeBerge:      I think what we've learned is that the key, I guess, the targeting macrophage after MI, is really to target their specific function. And this led us to sort of pursue novel proteins that are mediating macrophage factor function after MI. To accomplish this, we similarly performed an unbiased screen collecting peri-infarct tissue from a patient that was undergoing heart transplantation for end stage heart failure and had suffered an MI years previously. And this led to the discovery of allograft inflammatory factor-1, or AIF1, specifically within cardiac macrophages compared to other cardiac cell clusters from our specimen. And following up with this with post-mortem specimens after acute MI to show that AIF1 was specifically increased in macrophages after MI and then subsequently then testing causality with both murine model of permanent inclusion MI, as well as in vitro studies using bone marrow drive macrophages to dig deeper mechanistically, we found that AIF1 was crucial in regulating inflammatory programing macrophages, which ultimately culminated in worse in cardiac repair after MI.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        That's really interesting. And I love how you start with the human and then figure out what the heck it's doing in the human. And one of the things you ended up doing in the mouse was knocking out this protein AIF1, specifically in macrophage cells or cells that make the macrophage lineage. But is this factor in other cells? I was reading, it can be intracellular, it can be secreted. Are there perhaps other things that are also going on outside of the macrophage?   Matthew DeBerge:      It's a great question. First, I guess in terms of specificity, within the hematopoietic compartment, previous studies, as well as publicly available databases, have shown that AIF1 is really predominantly expressed within macrophages. We were able to leverage bone marrow chimera mice to isolate this defect to the deficiency to macrophages. But you do bring up a great point that other studies have shown that AIF1 may be expressed in other radio-resistant cell populations. I mean, such as cardiomyocytes or other treatable cells within the heart. We can't completely rule out a role for AIF1 and other cell populations. I can tell you that we did do the whole body knockout complementary to our bone marrow hematopoetic deficient knockouts, and saw that deficiency of AIF1 within the whole animal, recapitulate the effects we saw within the AIF1 deficiency within hematopoietic department.   Matthew DeBerge:      It was encouraging to us that, again, the overall role of AIF1 is pro-inflammatory after MI.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        I mean, I know it's early days, but is there a hint of any translational potential of these findings or of this protein?   Matthew DeBerge:      Yeah, I think so. To answer your question, we were fortunate enough to be able to partner with Ionis that develops these anti-sensible nucleotides so that we could specifically target AIF1 after the acute phase during MI. We saw that utilizing these anti-sensible nucleotides to deplete AIF1, again, within the whole mouse, that we were able to reduce inflammation, reduce in heart size and preserve stock function. I think there really is, hopefully a therapeutic opportunity here. And again, with it being, perhaps macrophage specific is, even much more important as we think about targeting the specific function of these cells within the heart.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        Very cool stuff. Dr Karlstaedt, the title of your submission is, ATP Dependent Citrate Lyase Drives Metabolic Remodeling in the Heart During Cancer. So this I found was really interesting because you were talking about, the two major killers in the world, right? Cardiovascular disease and cancer, and you're just going to tackle both of them, which I love. So obviously this is built on a lot of prior observations about the effects of cancer on cardiac metabolic remodeling. Can you maybe just tell us a little bit about what is that link that was there and what was known before you started?   Anja Karlstaedt:          Yeah. Happy to take that question. I think it's a very important one and I'm not sure if I will have a comprehensive answer to this, because like I mentioned at the beginning, cardio-oncology is a very new field. And the reason why we are starting to be more aware of cancer patients and their specific cardiovascular problems is because the cancer field has done such a great job of developing all these new therapeutics. And we have far more options of treating patients with various different types of cancers in particular, also leukemias, but also solid tumors. And what has that led to is an understanding that patients survive the tumors, but then 10, 20 years later, are dying of cardiovascular diseases. Those are particular cardiomyopathies and congestive heart failure patients. What we are trying, or what my lab is trying to do, is understanding what is driving this remodeling. And is there a way that we can develop therapies that can basically, at the beginning of the therapy, protect the heart so that this remodeling does not happen, or it is not as severe.   Anja Karlstaedt:          Also, identifying patients that are at risk, because not every tumor is created equally and tumors are very heterogeneous, even within the same group. To get to your question, what we found is, in collaboration actually with a group at Baylor College of Medicine, Peggy Goodell's group, who is primarily working on myeloid malignancies, is that certain types of leukemias are associated with cardiomyopathies. And so when they were focusing on the understanding drivers of leukemia, they noticed that the hearts of these animals in their murine models are enlarged on and actually developing cardiomyopathies. And I joined this project just very early on during my postdoc, which was very fortunate and I feel very lucky of having met them. What my lab is now studying here at Cedars is how basically those physiological stress and mutations coming from the tumors are leading to metabolic dysregulation in the heart and then eventually disease.   Anja Karlstaedt:          And we really think that metabolism is at the center of those disease progressions and also, because it's at the center, it should be part of the solution. We can use it as a way to identify patients that are at risk, but also potentially develop new therapies. And what was really striking for us is that when we knock down ACLY that in a willdtype heart where the mouse doesn't have any tumor disease, ACLY actually is critically important for energy substrate metabolism, which seems counterintuitive, because it's far away from the mitochondria, it's not part of directly ADP provision. It's not part of the Kreb cycle. But what we found is that when we knock it out using a CRISPR-Cas9 model, it leads to cardiomyopathy and critically disrupts energy substrate metabolism. And that is not necessarily the case when the mouse has leukemia or has a colorectal cancer, which upregulated in the beginning, this enzyme expression. And so we have now developed models that show us that this could be potentially also therapeutic target to disrupt the adverse remodeling by the tumor.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        That is so interesting. So one of the things I was thinking about too is we know that, I mean, your study is showing that, the tumor itself is causing cardiac remodeling, but we also know therapies, right? Radiation, chemotherapy, probably some immune modulatory compounds. Those probably do similar, maybe not exactly similar, but they also cause, adverse cardiac remodeling. Do you have any insights as to what is same and what is different between tumor driven and therapy driven adverse remodeling?   Anja Karlstaedt:          So we do not know a lot yet. It's still an open question about all the different types of chemotherapeutics, how they are leading to cardio toxicities. But what we know, at least from the classic anti-cyclic treatments, is right now at the core, the knowledge is that this is primarily disrupting cardiac mitochondrial function. And through that again, impairing energy provision and the interaction, again, with the immune system is fairly unknown, but we know through studies from Kathryn Moore and some very interesting work by Rimson is that myocardial infarction itself can lead to an increase in risk for tumor progression. And what they have shown as independent of each other, is that the activation of the immune system in itself can lead to an acceleration of both diseases, both the cardiac remodeling, and then also the tumor disease. We don't fully understand which drivers are involved, but we do know that a lot of the cardiomyopathies on cardiotoxicities that are chemotherapeutically driven, all have also metabolic component.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        Nice. Thank you. When I prepare for these interviews, I obviously read the abstracts for the papers, but I found myself also Googling other things after I read each of your abstracts. It was a rabbit hole of science, which was really exciting.                               I now want to transition to kind of a career angle. You all are obviously quite successful, scientifically, at the bench, right? But now you are pivoting to a kind of completely opposite slash new job, right? That of, independent researcher. I would love to hear from each of you, if there was any interesting challenge that you kind of overcame that you grew from, or if there was any bit of advice that you wish you knew ahead of time or anything like that, that some of our trainee listeners and actually frankly, faculty who can pass that information onto their trainees, can benefit from.   Anja Karlstaedt:          I think the biggest challenge for me in transitioning was actually the pandemic. Because I don't know how it was for Hisa and Matt, but trying to establish a lab, but also applying for faculty position during a major global pandemic, is challenging is not quite something that I expected that would happen. And so I think saying that and looking more conceptually and philosophically at this as, you can prepare as much as you want, but then when life just kicks in and things happen, they do happen. And I think the best is to prepare as much as you can. And then simply go with the flow. Sometimes one of my mentors, Dave Nikon, mentioned that to me when I was applying for faculty positions, it's sometimes good to just go with the flow. And as a metabolism person, I absolutely agree. And there are some things that you can do as a junior investigator.   Anja Karlstaedt:          We need to have a good network. So just very important to have good mentors. I was blessed with have those mentors, Peggy Goodell's one of them, Heinrich Taegtmeyer was another. And now with this study that we are publishing, Jim Martin and Dave Nikon were incredible. Without them, this study wouldn't have been possible and I would not be here at Cedars.   Anja Karlstaedt:          You need to reach out to other people because those mentors have the experience. They have been through some of this before. Even if they have never had a major event, like COVID-19 in their life before, because none of us had before, they had other experiences and you can rely on them and they set you then up for overcoming these challenges. And the other thing I would say, is put yourself out there, go and talk to as many people as possible or set conferences, present a poster, not only talks. Don't be disappointed if you don't get a talk, posters are really great to build this network and find other people that you probably wouldn't have encountered and apply for funding. Just again, put yourself out there and try to get the funding for your research. Even if it's small foundations, it builds up over time and it is a good practice to then write those more competitive grants.     Cindy St. Hilaire:        Dr Hashimoto, would you like to go next?   Hisayuki Hashimoto:   Just my advice is that, could be like a culture of difference, but in east Asia, like in Japan, we were taught to, do not disturb people, don't interrupt people and help people. But I realized that I wasn't really good at asking for help. After I am still not like fully independent, but I do have my own group and I have to do grant writing. I still work at the bench and then have to teach grad students, doing everything myself. I just realized it's just impossible. I didn't have time. I need like 48 hours a day. Otherwise, you won't finish it. I just realized that I wasn't really good at asking for help. So my advice would be, don't hesitate to ask for help. It's not a shame. You can't do everything by just yourself. I think, even from the postdoc, even from grad school, I think, ask for help and then get used to that. And then of course, help others. And that is the way I think to probably not get overwhelmed and not stress yourself. Science should be something fun. And if you don't ask for help and if you don't help someone, I think you are losing the chance of getting some fun part from the science.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        That's great advice. I really like that, especially because I find at least, I started my lab seven years ago now. And I remember the first couple months/year, it was extremely hard to let go, right? Like I taught my new people how to do the primary cell culture we needed, but I was terrified of them doing it wrong or wasting money or making too many mistakes. But you realize, you got to learn to trust people. Like you said, you got to learn to ask for help. And sometimes that help is letting them do it. And you doing, you're being paid now to write grants and papers. That's a big brain, you're not paid to do the smaller things. That's really great advice. I like that. Thank you. Dr DeBerge, how about you?   Matthew DeBerge:      So I guess towards a bit of life advice, I think two obvious things is one, be kind, science is hard enough as it is. So I think we should try to lift each other up and not knock each other down. And along those lines as the others have alluded to as well, one of the mantras we sort of adapted on the lab, is a rising tide raises all ships, this idea that we can work together to elevate each other's science and really, again, collaborate.   Towards the career side of things I'll just touch on, because I guess one thing I'll add, there's more than one path, I guess, to achieving your goals. I've been fortunate enough to have an NIH post-doctoral fellowship and had an AHA career development award, but I'm not a K99 recipient. Oftentimes, I think this is the golden ticket to getting the faculty job, so I'm trying to, I guess, buck trend, I just submitted an RO1. So fingers crossed that leads to some opportunity.   Even beyond academia, I'm not certain how much everyone here is involved in science Twitter, it's really become a thing over the last couple years, but I think, kind of the elephant in the room is that academia, it's really hard on the trainees nowadays to have a living wage, to go through this. I mean, I'm really excited to see my, fellow finalists here are starting their own groups and stuff, but for many, that's not the reality for many, it's just not financially feasible. So I think, kind of keeping in mind that there's many, many alternative careers, whether it's industry, whether it's consulting, science writing, etcetera, going back to what Dr Hash says, find what you love and really pursue that with passion.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        I think it's something only, I don't know, five to 10% of people go into or rather stay in academia. And that means, 90 to 95% of our trainees, we need to prepare them for other opportunities, which I think is exciting, because it means it can expand our network for those of us in academia.   Anja Karlstaedt:          I think right now it's even worse because it's about 2% of old postdocs that are actually staying and becoming independent researchers, independent or tenure track or research track. And I think I second, as what Matt said, because I play cello. I do music as a hobby and people always ask me if I'm a musician. And at the beginning I felt like, no, of course not. I'm not like Yoyo Ma. I'm just playing, it's a hobby. And then I, that got me thinking. I was like, no, of course you are because there's so many different types. And what we need to understand is that scientists, like you are always a scientist. It doesn't matter if you are working at Pfizer or if you are working at a small undergrad institution and you're teaching those next generation scientists, you are still scientist and we all need those different types of scientists because otherwise, if everybody is just a soloist, you are never going to listen to symphony. You need those different people and what we need to normalize beyond having those different career paths, is also that people are staying in academia and becoming those really incredible resources for the institutions and labs, quite frankly, of being able to retain those technologies and techniques within an institution. And I think that's something to also look forward to, that even if you're not the PI necessarily, you're the one who is driving those projects. And I hope to pass this on at some point also to my trainees that they can be a scientist, even if they're not running a lab and they become an Institute director and that's also critically important.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        There's lots of ways to do science. Thank you all so much for joining me today. Either waking up at 5:00 AM or staying up past midnight, I think it is now in Japan or close to it. So Matt and I kind of made it out okay. It's like 8:00 or 9:00 AM.   Matthew DeBerge:      Thank you.   Hisayuki Hashimoto:   My apologies for this time zone difference.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        I'm very glad to make it work. Congratulations to all of you, your presentations. I forget which day of the week they are on at BCVS, but we are looking forward to the oral presentations of these and congratulations to all of you. You are amazing scientists and I know I'm really looking forward to seeing your future work so best of luck.   Matthew DeBerge:      Thank you.   Hisayuki Hashimoto:   Thank you.   Anja Karlstaedt:          Thank you so much.   Cindy St. Hilaire:        That's it for the highlights from the June 24th, July 8th and July 22nd issues of Circulation Research.

We're taking a trip back to high school chemistry in this episode! The chemical compound H2S, better known as the gaseous chemical Hydrogen Sulfide--the one that puts off a "rotten eggs" smell, is found in many natural environment settings. However, did you know that Hydrogen Sulfide is produced in small amounts in our bodies? This over-looked compound has a variety of important physiological effects, especially as we age. Dr. Chris Hine has been studying these benefits and how H2S may actually help stave off Glioblastoma (GBM)! Both Dr.'s Hine and Lathia have been hard at work at the Lerner Research Institute at Cleveland Clinic finding out-of-the-box ways to better treat or help prevent brain cancers such as GBM. In this episode, we take a deeper look into their work. Season Presenting Sponsor: Gamma Tile (GT Medical Technologies)   Episode Sponsors: OncoSynergy, Inc. & Highmark BCBS of WNY

 So, before we get started today, I wanted to let you know that I'm currently off on annual leave, one of my goals this year was to take more time off – well, to basically time off, rather than working through until Christmas!  And so, the episode you're hearing today is a replay of a past episode. As it's IBS Awareness Month, and because so many of us with endo have IBS, I wanted to share with you my most foundational, actionable and informative episodes on endo belly, IBS and SIBO – so every week you'll get two episodes on this theme, to help raise awareness and to provide you with some actions. Now because these episodes are old, I may not refer to some of the resources I provide on the endo belly, so I wanted to remind you of the services I provide. So, to start with, I have plenty of other episodes on the endo belly, I have a course called The Endo Belly Course which is specifically for anyone with endo who really struggles with IBS, endo belly or SIBO (here's the waitlist; I work with 1 to 1 clients; especially those with endo belly or SIBO, and I have lots and lots of articles on Endometriosis News and Endometriosis Net about these topics. And of course, I also   have my Instagram account, which is chock full of SIBO and endo belly info, for those of you wanting to learn more. Lastly, if you feel you need a little extra support, I am currently running a free Endo Belly Challenge. The challenge ends on April 18th, but if you sign up before May 2nd, you'll still be able to access all of the challenge, and catch up – and for anyone who takes part, you'll be invited to a private, free Q&A call with me at the start of May, where you'll get to ask me all your endo belly questions. Okay, so without further ado, let's get to the episode: It's finally here! The long awaited episode on how to test for SIBO. Many of you have been contacting me to ask how to get tested or whether you can test at home, so here's my episode discussing all the ins and outs. Here's a breakdown of some of the key points in the episode: Hydrogen and methane type SIBO can be detected through a SIBO breath test. You can order at-home kits. In my experience, most GPs won't/can't order SIBO breath tests and aren't familiar with it, though GI doctors may be able to and SIBO specialist doctors certainly can. A SIBO breath test involves drinking a solution of glucose or lactulose and breathing into a test tube for 2-3 hours. The substrate will feed the bacteria, which will create fermentation, and the gas is then collected in the test tube and measured in the lab in parts per million. Tests can be either 2 hours with 8 test tubes or 3 hours with 10 test tubes. 2 hours runs the risk of missing SIBO in a person with slow gut motility, so for that reason, I prefer to go with a 3 hour test. Some specialists prefer testing with glucose, others lactulose. I like to use lactulose as glucose is absorbed in the first 1-3 feet of the small intestine and the small intestine is on average 22 ft long! So if the SIBO is further down, a glucose test can miss it entirely. A prep diet and overnight fast is required before taking the test. This is a low to no carb diet of meat, fish, eggs, black tea or coffee. There are some allowances for vegans, vegetarians or diabetics. If a patient ate too many carbs, or did the prep test incorrectly it would skew the test results and the test would need to be redone. The North American breath testing consensus states that a positive for hydrogen would be a rise of 20 ppm or more (parts per million) from the baseline (the breath before drinking the solution) in the first 90 minutes. A positive for methane would be 10ppm or more in the whole 180 minutes, including the baseline. Dr Allison Siebecker, who I trained with, has a slightly different diagnostic range after years and years of working with SIBO clients and consulting with other SIBO specialists. A positive hydrogen for her would be 20ppm in the first 120 minutes, with no rise needed as long as the baseline isn't the highest number. Methane is 10 within 180 but if constipation was present, the methane would be positive if the reading was 3-9ppm. Though hydrogen sulfide SIBO cannot be detected with this test, some H2S patients have a flat line pattern that indicates the presence of H2S. This would be a result of 6ppm or less for hydrogen and 3ppm or less for methane. An elevated baseline (so not 0) is normal for methane. In the USA, lactulose requires a prescription so you would need to find a doctor who could help you order it.

In this episode, I talked with Mohamed Sorour, a student from the EAEAT, the Egyptian Academy For Engineering And Advanced Technology which is affiliated to the Ministry of Military Production of Egypt. We chatted about Geopolitics, the importance of the Oil & Gas Industry in Egypt and the Middle East, the discovery of the Zohr Field and its relevance in the new Natural Gas trend as well as how is life as an engineer in such arab states. We also discussed two processes, the Amine Gas Treating, which is used to "sweeten" or remove impurities of H2S in natural gas as well as the TEG Dehydration used also in Natural Gas Treating. I really enjoyed this one, since it is now a student in a not so conventional private university but a university affiliated to the Military Ministry as well as covering some theoretical concepts and HYSYS Simulations.

Understanding the Dangers of Hydrogen Sulfide Gas. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas is produced as a result of the microbial breakdown of organic materials in the absence of oxygen. It can be found in tanks, vaults, voids, and other confined spaces at industrial facilities including power plants. Besides being flammable and corrosive, H2S is also colorless and toxic, even in relatively low concentrations, so it is extremely hazardous to workers. In fact, it is the second-most-common cause of workplace inhalation fatalities behind carbon monoxide. H2S is noticeable initially by its rotten egg smell, but the gas can deaden senses making it difficult for workers to detect without a gas monitor. Veriforce CEO Colby Lane and Chris Detillier, senior safety analyst with Veriforce, were guests on The POWER Podcast. Veriforce is a leading provider of software and services that enhance workforce and community safety. Among its offerings is a training course called H2S Clear, which provides students with life-saving information while meeting the compliance requirements of ANSI/ASSP standards. “It's extremely toxic. As little as 700 parts per million can cause someone to immediately collapse, and they can die from it,” Detillier said. “So, it is very important to have a good training program in place.” Lane explained that Veriforce's training model essentially credentials and accredits instructors. Then, those instructors provide the training to actual workers. Detillier said he's received a lot of positive feedback every time he's taught a “train-the-trainer” class for H2S Clear. “We've had guys that have been in the industry for years—some of them who have previously been through H2S training—and after class would tell me how much that they learned from the class and appreciate the content that we have in there.”
