Aaron is an accomplished musician. He's gifted on a number of instruments and frequently educates us with his Gear Talk. As for Snowy...not so much. He's never so much as owned an instrument. But that's not to say he doesn't appreciate a good axe. Especially if it's a signature instrument played live by a fave artist. For instance, Micheal Schenker's Flying V. Or one of Lemmy's basses. How about one of the guitars Mantas used to record their classic debut? So this week Aaron has a laundry list of these special instruments to quiz Snowy on how much he'd pay to have these awesome artifacts hanging on the RAM office walls. Musically, we crank some new and used from Haemorrhage, Slaughter (Can), Spazz, Massacra, Medieval Steel, Iron Curtain, Armoured Angel, Stainless and introduce Quebec bashers Vortex in our "Indie Spotlight". This is the Ibanez Gem owned by Steve Tai that sparked this topic. Horns up!!
It concerns Maura Heffernan (OGorman), a native of Kilkee who lives in Templeglantine in County Limerick. Earlier this month, Maura set off on what should have been the trip of a lifetime: to visit her daughter in Canada. However, Maura's trip took a devastating turn after just six days, when she suffered a brain haemorrhage, from which, sadly, she will never recover. Maura's family are now doing their level best to get her home. To that end, they are instigated fundraising efforts to achieve that aim. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Stephen Curtin, Maura's son-in-law who is speaking on behalf of the family.

Subarachnoid haemorrhage is a diagnosis that can't be missed, but it is not a simple process to detect it. The first paper for discussion this month questions if a CT scan within 6 hours is sufficient for exclusion in patients with acute headache. Then there is a large-scale analysis of over 400 million ED visits in the USA, focussing in on the significant issue of self-harm in the homeless population. Next is a paper on a decision tool for suspected acute aortic syndrome, and to finish, a discussion on the change in ED culture around safety since the COVID pandemic. Read the issue highlights: December 2024 Primary Survey Articles discussed in this episode: Subarachnoid haemorrhage in the emergency department (SHED): a prospective, observational, multicentre cohort study Suicide and self-injury-related emergency department visits and homelessness among adults 25–64 years old from 2016 to 2021 in the USA Decision analytical modelling of strategies for investigating suspected acute aortic syndrome Culture of safety in an adult and paediatric emergency department before and after the COVID-19 pandemic The EMJ podcast is hosted by: Dr. Richard Body, EMJ Deputy Editor, University of Manchester, UK (@richardbody) Dr. Sarah Edwards, EMJ Social Media Editor, Leicester Royal Infirmary, UK (@drsarahedwards) You can subscribe to the EMJ podcast on all podcast platforms to get the latest podcast every month.

Got a young patient who just won't stop bleeding from their microchip site, vaccine site, or gingiva after deciduous tooth loss? There's a good chance they have a coagulopathy. We see two types of coagulopathy in practice - congenital and acquired - and it's those congenital ones we're discussing today. It's important we pick up on these as soon as possible in the patient's life, to prevent severe haemorrhage at the time of neutering or during other procedures. Identifying congenital coagulopathies starts with understanding what they are, and how they impact our patients - which is exactly what you'll be able to do after this episode. ---
Picture this: you're on the admit shift on a Tuesday morning, and your next patient is a 6-month-old Doberman for routine neutering. Is there anything you'd be particularly worried about before surgery? Is there anything you'd discuss with the client or any tests you'd speak to your vet about? Dobermans are a classic breed affected by von Willebrand's disease, which is a disease that sits somewhere between thrombocytopenia and coagulopathy. If they have it, bleeding is a very real risk. Thankfully, if we know beforehand, we can implement strategies to manage the patient's disease and prevent severe haemorrhage. That starts with understanding von Willebrand's disease and how it works, which is exactly what we're covering in this episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast. ---
In today's episode, Genevieve shares her first pregnancy and birth and details her postpartum joys and challenges. She embraced her ‘goddess energy' in her second trimester but by the third trimester, she really felt the physical limitations of carrying a big baby and only being quite small herself. Her waters broke at home and once she arrived at hospital she was hooked up to syntocinon which is when her contractions intensified so significantly that she requested an epidural. It was only once she'd been discharged and was reading her notes that she discovered she'd had an episiotomy and a postpartum haemorrhage and she talks about how this made her feel. ___________ If you're pregnant, we encourage you to start thinking about your birth recovery now. You need more support in the fourth trimester (the 12 weeks after birth) than you do in pregnancy which can be surprising to many new mothers. It's for this reason that Bare Mum began and now they offer a beautiful collection of practical and supportive products to assist your postpartum healing.

In this episode of the St Emlyn's podcast, Iain Beardsell is joined by Dan Horner, a consultant in Emergency Medicine and Neurocritical Care, and Tom Roberts, an Emergency Medicine Registrar and clinical lecturer, to discuss their recently published SHED study on subarachnoid haemorrhage in the Emergency Department (ED). This landmark study, published in the Emergency Medicine Journal, explores the safety of CT scans in diagnosing subarachnoid haemorrhage up to 24 hours after headache onset and evaluates the role of further investigations like a lumbar puncture. The study examines acute severe headache presentations in the ED and the diagnostic approach to ruling out subarachnoid haemorrhage, a critical and often feared diagnosis among emergency physicians. Conducted through the Trainee Emergency Research Network (TURN), the study included over 3,600 patients from 88 UK EDs with acute severe headaches reaching maximum intensity within one hour and no focal neurology. Data collection included CT scans, lumbar puncture results, and 28-day follow-up to identify missed cases of subarachnoid hemorrhage. Key findings from the study revealed a 6.5% prevalence of subarachnoid haemorrhage, with a significant number presenting within six hours of headache onset. The sensitivity of CT scans remained high beyond the traditional six-hour window, suggesting that CT alone could safely rule out subarachnoid haemorrhage up to 18 hours in many cases, potentially reducing the need for lumbar puncture. The risk of missing an aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage after a negative CT was found to be extremely low, around 1 in 1,000. These findings challenge the routine use of lumbar puncture in patients presenting beyond six hours if the CT scan is negative, potentially changing ED practice and reducing unnecessary invasive procedures. The discussion also emphasized the importance of shared decision-making and recognizing that diagnostic testing is about managing probabilities, not certainties. For clinicians, the episode highlights the need to expedite CT scans for patients with acute severe headaches, especially those presenting within 10 minutes of onset, as they are more likely to have significant pathology. Emergency physicians are encouraged to own the decision-making process for ruling out serious causes of headaches and not defer solely to 'specialists'. The SHED study supports extending the diagnostic window for CT scans in ruling out subarachnoid hemorrhage up to 18 hours, reducing the need for lumbar puncture in many cases. This data empowers emergency clinicians to make informed decisions, manage patient expectations, and streamline ED processes. For more information, listeners are encouraged to read the SHED Study in the Emergency Medicine Journal and explore the related blog post on the St Emlyn's website. Emergency clinicians are also invited to connect with TERN to get involved in future research opportunities. This episode provides valuable insights for clinicians in managing acute severe headaches, emphasizing a more nuanced approach to subarachnoid hemorrhage diagnosis and the importance of clinical decision-making in the ED.
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is a rare but devastating condition, marked by high global rates of fatality and long-term disability.

This week on the podcast we have Lauren and Dan. They share the shift in mindset they experienced when preparing for birth, through the ‘Transform Your Birth' course. Lauren really enjoyed her birth, largely due to the incredible team of midwives from the birth centre and her student midwife. With Dan well prepared and providing loving and practical support, she stayed completely in labour land and experienced that beautiful high after birth. She goes on to have a long pushing stage, a little problem getting the placenta out, and a post-partum haemorrhage, however with the wonderful team around her, she knew she was in the right place for them to manage this - and stayed completely calm through these challenges. A perfect example of great preparation, and a great team to manage whatever unfolds on the day.

In today's episode, we had the privilege of interviewing Deannah who shares her journey through three unique birth experiences. Deannah's first two births were within the MGP program, where she faced challenges such as unwanted interventions and unfamiliar midwives during the birth of her first baby. She discusses how she realised she suffered from postnatal depression (PND), postnatal anxiety (PNA), and postpartum rage (PPR)following her first birth. In her second pregnancy, Deannah took a proactive approach by researching and securing the support of a known midwife who respected her wishes for a hands-off approach during labour, despite experiencing a postpartum haemorrhage. Upon relocating to NSW, Deannah encountered limited options for care models due to her location, prompting her to carefully consider her choice of care provider, especially given her higher risk of postpartum haemorrhage. Ultimately, Deannah opted for a private midwife for her third birth, which took place at home. The skilled midwife's expertise proved invaluable as she effectively managed Deannah's postpartum haemorrhage in the comfort of her own home.

Haemorrhage, hypertensive disorders, and sepsis are responsible for more than half of maternal deaths worldwide. Further, it is estimated that for every death, there are 50 pregnant people with life-threatening morbidity from sepsis. Heartbreakingly, the incidence of puerperal sepsis has risen over the last decade, in some cases doubling, with increasing rates of severe sepsis contributing to mortality. Underlying this trend is increasing virulence of group A streptococcal (GAS) infection. This is suspected to be due to the predominance of emm1 and emm28 genotypes, which have higher associations with mortality, as well as increasing maternal risk factors for infection such as obesity and DM. PLUS, certain GAS antibiotic resistance is on the rise. Group A streptococcus infection remains an important contributor to pregnancy and puerperal morbidity and mortality. Early recognition, diagnosis and aggressive management are Important for favorable outcomes given the serious risk of sepsis and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome. In this episode, we will highlight this alarming rise of Group A strep in the peripartum period including the most recent 2021 International Society for Infectious Disease in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISIDOG) guidelines regarding GAS in pregnancy. Listen in for details.
Abi is Mum to 4 year old Bill, 2 year old Freya, and 8 week old Ida, living on their rural property 2.5 hours drive from the nearest hospital. Her first two births were medical affairs, involving epidurals, induction and a large postpartum haemorrhage. Her most recent birth, however, was a gentle water birth experience at home, an utterly ordinary, yet simultaneously extraordinary occasion. Abi shares with us the journey she went on to confidently prepare for a rural home birth, and the buzz of ordinary delights like climbing into bed together as a family after a wondrous birth at day break.

On this episode I discuss the modern scientific and practical approach to massive haemorrhage in trauma with Dr Justin Morgenstern
Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is common after major trauma, affecting up to two-thirds of patients with critical injuries. Post-trauma MODS is associated with a mortality of over 20% and poor long-term outcomes in those who survive. Current management is supportive, and there are no specific pharmacological agents that prevent organ dysfunction. The TOP-ART randomised clinical trial, a two-stage study, has tested firstly the safety and efficacy of the early artesunate administration on a cohort of severely injured and bleeding trauma patients and, secondly, the outcomes of artesunate administration on trauma patients at risk of developing MODS. Listen to Joanna Shepherd's interview in the following podcast to learn more about the study's results.

Major hemorrhage is life-threatening and can occur in a variety of clinical settings. A review paper in CMAJ, entitled "Nonsurgical management of major hemorrhage," advocates for the implementation of massive hemorrhage protocols across all types of hospitals to optimize patient care.Dr. Jeannie Callum, the article's lead author and the Director of Transfusion Medicine at Kingston's Health Sciences Centre speaks with Drs. Blair Bigham and Mojola Omole about her work standardizing massive hemorrhage protocols throughout Ontario. Dr. Callum shares the transformative moment that inspired her to develop a province-wide protocol, starting from the point of roadside patient care.She then details the critical need for precision in managing major hemorrhage, emphasizing a rapid response within the "golden hour." Dr. Callum outlines key components of care such as swift administration of tranexamic acid and the detection of coagulopathy. She then simplifies the main elements of a massive hemorrhage protocol into what she calls "the seven 'T's."In rural settings, Dr. Callum identifies the need for a simplified protocol due to constraints like smaller medical teams and a lack of comprehensive laboratory tests. Despite these challenges, she recommends innovative solutions like the immediate administration of tranexamic acid and encourages physicians to educate themselves about novel point-of-care testing technologies such as viscoelastic testing.Join us as we explore medical solutions that address the urgent need to change healthcare.

There comes a time in almost everyone's life when we will encounter trauma. Now, that trauma can be from getting punched in the face for the first time to being shamed to dealing with death. But what if your trauma left you in a coma for weeks on end leaving you barely able to remember how to do even the smallest thing? It can be a very lonely road back and my guest today is going to share his journey from that very place to help people reframe the obstacles in their lives. The events in our lives reveal to us just what we are made of. Our character in full display may be far different than the one we thought it would be. For some, this truth only compounds the issue while for others, it galvanizes them into forging a new stronger version of themselves. Well, today my guest has done just that. At 28, Daniel MacQueen was leading a healthy, active life. After an optometrist appointment to identify the cause of his persistent headaches was cut short, he was handed a sealed envelope and told to go directly to the hospital. What followed, was emergency brain surgery. On June 21, 2014, Dan's reality was shattered by a devastating brain haemorrhage. With no map to guide him on the gruelling path to recovery, Dan had to rely on his grit, perseverance, and resilience to relearn everything he once knew: how to walk, talk and even smile. In this episode: Dan's hero's quest. How Dan's experience has shaped who he is today. (2:20) How to turn down the suck. (6:17) When we can really gain control of our thinking, then our life changes.

2023.02.14 – 0775 – Vocal Fold Haemorrhage Continued talking may lead to ‘vocal nodules' on your folds, which are common with loud, tense, constant talkers. (Polyps are similar but usually occur after a single cough or shout, rather than long-term abuse, and happen when the folds haemorrhage.) Know your body. If your body is hurting (even a sore throat), stop. It's a sign that something is not ‘quite right'. Speaking when hoarse, or worse still, shouting to deliberately make yourself hoarse (yes, some people do this to achieve a lower voice), can be very dangerous in itself and can permanently damage your vocal folds.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: [BBC News] Postpartum haemorrhage: Niger halves blood-loss deaths at clinics, published by Sean Ericson on January 21, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. I'm not an expert in this area, but it would seem that this study is an encouraging development in a very important area. Over the research period in Niger, an estimated 1,417 fewer women died from bleeding after childbirth - known as postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) - than otherwise would have. It also prevented tens of thousands of other women from experiencing abnormally high blood loss. PPH now accounts for one in 10 of maternal deaths in Niger, whereas before the project began it accounted for more than three times that. Summary of the Lancet article about the study: Background Primary postpartum haemorrhage is the principal cause of birth-related maternal mortality in most settings and has remained persistently high in severely resource-constrained countries. We evaluate the impact of an intervention that aims to halve maternal mortality caused by primary postpartum haemorrhage within 2 years, nationwide in Niger. Methods In this 72-month longitudinal study, we analysed the effects of a primary postpartum haemorrhage intervention in hospitals and health centres in Niger, using data on maternal birth outcomes assessed and recorded by the facilities' health professionals and reported once per month at the national level. Reported data were monitored, compiled, and analysed by a non-governmental organisation collaborating with the Ministry of Health. All births in all health facilities in which births occurred, nationwide, were included, with no exclusion criteria. After a preintervention survey, brief training, and supplies distribution, Niger implemented a nationwide primary postpartum haemorrhage prevention and three-step treatment strategy using misoprostol, followed if needed by an intrauterine condom tamponade, and a non-inflatable anti-shock garment, with a specific set of organisational public health tools, aiming to reduce primary postpartum haemorrhage mortality. Findings Among 5 382 488 expected births, 2 254 885 (41·9%) occurred in health facilities, of which information was available on 1 380 779 births from Jan 1, 2015, to Dec 31, 2020, with reporting increasing considerably over time. Primary postpartum mortality decreased from 82 (32·16%; 95% CI 25·58–39·92) of 255 health facility maternal deaths in the 2013 preintervention survey to 146 (9·53%; 8·05–11·21) of 1532 deaths among 343 668 births in 2020. Primary postpartum haemorrhage incidence varied between 1900 (2·10%; 2·01–2·20) of 90 453 births and 4758 (1·47%; 1·43–1·52) of 322 859 births during 2015–20, an annual trend of 0·98 (95% CI 0·97–0·99; p

Much to the shock and chagrin on our audience, the stars have aligned here on Terminus to provide an episode of nearly exclusively death metal! Melodies? NO. Keyboards? NO. Satan? KIND OF BUT IT'S COMPLICATED. Before we get into the gruesome and guttural though, we have a small concession for the skinnier and more artistic listeners: that of the debut demo by Grave Chalice, an industrialized black metal project featuring Warg of Heretical Sect which takes a foundation of Grand Declaration of War and enhances it with modern technique- definitely a project to look out for. Ominous carrion winds blow in from the east announcing the arrival of Aparthiva Raktadhara's debut record. Notorious members of the Kolkata Inner Order, the band has taken a surprising move on this release by in large part leaving their warnoise roots for colder, more alienating death metal pastures. The root riffing style of Morbid Angel's most difficult moments is expanded upon with brutal death drum technique and utterly deranged song structures making for something that feels equally at home in 1992 as it does in 2046. No more spoilers- this is one of the best records of the year. On the flipside is the triumphant return of Holocausto Canibal, long-running Portuguese grindgore purveyors whose long absence (at least in terms of full-lengths) has done nothing to soften their bite. Continuing in the footsteps of artists like Haemorrhage, HC provide (human) meat and potatoes goresoaked deathgrind with a crusty hardcore edge that may be more relevant now than ever before. Gravity blasts good, lyrics about space bad- there's a reason this style has existed for almost 30 years. 0:00:00 - Intro/Grave Chalice - Demo MMXXII (Mercurial Gate) 0:17:54 - Aparthiva Raktadhara - Adyapeeth Maranasamhita (আদ্যাপীঠ মরণসংহিতা) (Iron Bonehead) 1:07:21 - Prosanctus Inferi - “Apex Jaws in Madrigal Posture” fr.

Nazih Assaad provides his expertise on the treatment of subarachoid haemorrhage. Treatment for aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) is an area that has had extensive research but not a great deal of success. Promising animal studies have not turned out as hoped in clinical trials and many questions remain unanswered. Nazih guides the listener through his approach on how to address the complicated presentation of SAH. Firstly, subarachnoid haemorrhages can be graded clinically and radiologically. Clinical grades provide useful prognostic information, with poorer grades less likely to do as well as more favourable grades, despite best medical and intervention management. Nazih mentions the Fisher Scale which is useful for predicting vasospasm and how he integrates both into practise. Nazih will guide you through the four elements in the management of established SAH. Moreover, these are the four areas he believes every clinician working in this space should consider with every patient presenting with a SAH. The first is the effect of the haemorrhage itself on the patient. The sudden rise of intracranial pressure secondary to aneurysm rupture leads to dramatic clinical signs. These includes loss of consciousness and seizure like activity. There are no known agents to reverse the effects of the initial insult. Secondly, managing the degree of hydrocephalus that most, if not all, patients will have if critical. Clinical hydrocephalus is treated with CSF drainage. Thirdly, the prevention of re-haemorrhage is important. In bygone eras, patients with aneurysmal SAH did not have immediate management of the bleed. This has changed. Finally, delayed cerebral ischaemia (usually relating to vasospasm) should be addressed. Gold standard of diagnosis is digital subtraction angiography, and following this, Nazih describes his aggressive management approach. Nazih takes the listener through what he considers the most critical aspects of managing a patient with an aneurysmal SAH. This talk explores diagnostic techniques, patient examination, surgical options, and other management considerations. He touches on the most recent guidelines and protocols around Australia and the world.
