Podcasts about Hartford Hospital

Continuing on our recent canine theme, we visit Hartford Hospital in CT and see what Rover is up to.

Dr. Raj Parikh from Hartford Hospital discusses the development of the PH-ILD Detection tool, a screening tool designed to help detect pulmonary hypertension (PH) in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) at an early stage. Early detection is critical, as there is often a significant delay in diagnosis of PH in ILD patients, leading to worsened outcomes. This Special Edition episode is sponsored by Liquidia.

Maternal health refers to the health of women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period. Even though important progress has been made in the last two decades in this area, we still have a lot of work to do. The World Health Organization says about 287,000 women died during and following pregnancy and childbirth in 2020. To help us understand the things that need to be done in order to bring these numbers down, Nicole sought out Dr. Daileann Hemmings. She is a doctoral prepared perinatal nurse with a focus in the Community/Public Health sector, with over 20 years of nursing experience specializing in perinatal health at some of the country's top hospitals, such as Yale New Haven Hospital and Johns Hopkins. Right now, Daileann serves as the Program Director of Maternal Health Equity at Hartford Hospital in which she works to address health disparities that impact mortality & morbidity. Nicole and Daileann share in a very candid and open conversation about how we can better support mothers -- especially those of color, some of the inequities that individuals of color experience, the initiatives she has helped implement to address the issues, and the preventability of maternal deaths. You will walk away from this episode with not only more knowledge on this topic, but a greater understanding of what you can do to help other support other moms experiencing such inequality when it comes to their maternal health.-----------------------------------SHOW NOTES:Host: Nicole Nalepa | @NicoleNalepaTVGuest: Daileann Hemmings

He has published over 500 peer reviewed journal articles, was a past President of the American College of sports medicine (ACSM) and was a impressively fast marathon runner. This is the third of a series of podcast episodes on sport cardiology (See Professor Benjamin Levine and Associate Professor Andre La Gerche's episodes). We covered a lot of ground. There is a greater prevalence of atrial fibrillation in athletes (is it due to larger hearts?). We discussed possible reasons why coronary artery calcium/calcification is higher in athletes. He recommends 8000 steps done vigorously per day. Exercise is very important for your health. What exercise to do depends on your goals and health status. See time stamps further much more.

 David Holdridge served in the Vietnam War in 1969 as an infantry platoon leader outside of Chu Lai. He was wounded and spent 18 months getting repaired at various hospitals in the United States, culminating with operations at Hartford Hospital in Connecticut where neurosurgeon Dr. Benjamin Whitcomb freed David from his trauma. Subsequently, he spent 40 years working with humanitarian organizations amidst populations suffering from war, exploitation, and impoverishment, including assignments in West Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. From 2010 to 2012, he directed an advocacy effort in Washington DC, which argued for significant transformation of the current systems and approaches of American assistance abroad. Currently, he commutes from Beirut, Lebanon to his farm in Vermont, USA managed by his wife, Annie. His daughter Hank was born in Beirut, his son Alex in Tunis. His current book The Water Above is oiut and available. It follows his first book The Avant Garde of Western Civ, which won Prize Americana in 2017.  The picture is of David and his wife Annie in Beka'a Valley, Lebanon. Annie's pregnant with their daughter, Hank.

An enduring paradox of urban public health is that many communities around hospitals are economically distressed and, counterintuitively, medically underserved. In The City and the Hospital two sociologists, Jonathan R. Wynn and Berkeley Franz, and a political scientist, Daniel Skinner, track the multiple causes of this problem and offer policy solutions. Focusing on three urban hospitals—Connecticut's Hartford Hospital, the flagship of the Hartford Healthcare system; the Cleveland Clinic, which coordinates with other providers for routine care while its main campus provides specialty care; and the University of Colorado Hospital, a rare example of an urban institution that relocated to a new community—the authors analyze the complicated relationship between a hospital and its neighborhoods. On the one hand, hospitals anchor the communities that surround them, often staying in a neighborhood for decades. Hospitals also craft strategies to engage with the surrounding community, many of those focused on buying locally and hiring staff from their surrounding area. On the other hand, hospitals will often only provide care to the neighboring community through emergency departments, reserving advanced medical care and long-term treatment for those who can pay a premium for it. In addition, the authors show, hospitals frequently buy neighborhood real estate and advocate for development programs that drive gentrification and displacement. To understand how urban healthcare institutions work with their communities, the authors address power, history, race, and urbanity as much as the workings of the medical industry. These varied initiatives and effects mean that understanding urban hospitals requires seeing them in a new light—not only as medical centers but as complicated urban forces. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is a Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. He is the author of The Social Construction of a Cultural Spectacle: Floatzilla (Lexington Books, 2023) and Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest: Reconstructing the Mississippi River (Lexington Books, 2022). His general area of study is about the construction of identity and place. He is currently conducting research for his next project that looks at nightlife and the emotional labor that is performed by bouncers at bars and nightclubs. To learn more about Michael O.

State and US Government Shock, Police Officer Almost Killed. In an unexpected assault that transpired in Connecticut, Jill Kidik, a devoted officer with the Hartford Police Department, experienced a life-altering incident. Answering a disturbance call on May 17, 2018, in a downtown Hartford apartment, Officer Kidik found herself the target of a violent attack. The assailant, a resident of the apartment, left her unconscious after multiple stabbings in the neck and other parts of her torso. Alone during this distressing call, Officer Kidik was fortunate to have two courageous maintenance workers intervene, risking their lives to pull the attacker away and prevent further harm. The swift response from numerous members of the Hartford Police Department, alongside emergency personnel, played a vital role in ensuring Officer Kidik reached Hartford Hospital just in time. State and US Government Shock, Police Officer Almost Killed. After undergoing extensive surgery, Officer Kidik, though in stable but critical condition, encountered substantial challenges. A tracheotomy became imperative due to a stab through her trachea, leaving her unable to breathe independently. Despite these hurdles, Officer Kidik's unwavering determination fueled her recovery, enabling her to return home a mere 9 days later. This is Jill's second appearance on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. In her the first episode, she talks more about the attack, it includes audio of the dispatcher and back up officers, and her immediate life after, prior to her retirement. You can listen to a special episode of that podcast interview here. State and US Government Shock, Police Officer Almost Killed. The ramifications of this brutal attack proved enduring, resulting in permanent physical impairments and subsequent retirement from the Hartford Police Department for Officer Kidik. In her account, Jill Kidik sheds light on the intricacies of her recovery journey, addressing the impact of both state and federal government policies that have added further complexities. State and US Goverment Shock, Police Officer Almost Killed. Beyond the physical injuries, Officer Kidik talks about the profound emotional and mental toll exacted by this trauma, affecting not only herself but also her family. Her narrative underscores the intertwined struggles of navigating both the psychiatric and legal aspects of recovery, revealing the intricate web of challenges confronted by survivors of such harrowing incidents.

We don't deserve dogs! Humanities best friend is truly, the dog. Today we delve into the story of Rover, a dog so loyal, he wouldn't leave the hospital where his master entered. History is populated with tales of dogs and their allegiance to their human families through life and sometimes well into death.

Stabbed and Her Throat Was Slit, Police Officer Survived. Special Digitally Remastered Episode. Retired Police Officer Tells Her Story. Hartford Police Officer Jill Kidik was stabbed multiple times, her throat and trachea were slit and one of her tear ducts was ripped out during a sudden and totally unexpected assault. It was a routine call for service that left her in a fight for her life. She talks about the attack, her near death experience, the physical and emotional recovery and her valiant efforts to try to return to serve the citizens. On May 17, 2018, Officer Jill Kidik responded to a disturbance call in a downtown Hartford apartment. Little did she know, this routine call would thrust her into a life-threatening situation. While alone on the call, Officer Kidik was violently attacked by a resident. She was knocked unconscious and subjected to a series of brutal stabbings, primarily targeting her neck and torso. The situation was dire. In a courageous display of humanity, two maintenance workers, aware of the imminent danger, rushed to Officer Kidik's aid. They put their own lives on the line to wrest the assailant away from her, displaying remarkable bravery in the face of danger. The call for help reverberated throughout the Hartford Police Department, and countless members swiftly converged on the scene. With the invaluable assistance of several emergency response personnel, Officer Kidik was transported to Hartford Hospital with only minutes to spare. In 2019, Jill Kidik made the difficult decision to retire from her role in the Hartford Police Department. Her retirement was not by choice but a result of the injuries she sustained during her harrowing ordeal in 2018. She continues to grapple with daily pain and enduring limitations as a result of those injuries.

Addressing bias in health-care provision is difficult because the professionals are extremely defensive when confronted with the reality of bias. In this episode of In/Equality, host Debra Thompson speaks with psychiatrist and researcher Javeed Sukhera of the Institute of Living in Hartford, CT, and the Hartford Hospital about his research and teaching on implicit bias. Health-care providers, like all people, have implicit biases that affect the treatment they provide. This conversation explores what these biases are and how they can be dealt with. How does changing implicit bias at the individual level connect to structural changes? Can one inform the other? How much can mandatory training do to root out bias? And how do these issues fit into our already overworked and understaffed health-care system?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized the marketing of three new e-cigarette products in 2021, marking the first authorization of its kind by the FDA. Concurrently, the FDA ordered hundreds of products off the market – such as a vape holder shaped like a Gameboy that kids could potentially hide from parents, and a “sunset sherbet” flavored vape liquid, which retailers continue to sell, according to a new investigation by STAT News. The Federal Trade Commission's first-ever e-cigarette report links “an unprecedented” increase in e-cigarette use among youth with the rise in flavored products. “The data show that this increase coincided with dramatic spikes in the market share of flavored products, higher concentrations of nicotine, and an industry attempt to evade a ban on free sampling,” said Samuel Levine, Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. Beyond regulation, what role do taxes have in the habits of consumers? A new Yale study found that increasing taxes on e-cigarettes led to a decline in youth and young adults' rate of daily vaping; but it led to an increase in cigarette use. The tobacco taxation in Connecticut is $4.35 cents per pack of cigarettes. The state also taxes e-cigarettes at $0.40 per milliliter. This hour on Where We Live, we hear from the co-author of the Yale study on e-cigarette taxation and the policy implications, and from a youth and adolescent psychiatrist on the best ways to help patients cease smoking. We also look into social pressures, trends, and the influence of marketing and advertising in driving youth and young adults toward e-cigarettes. GUESTS: Ruth Canovi: Director of Advocacy, American Lung Association (Connecticut); and Chair, MATCH Coalition. Michael Pesko: Health economist and Associate Professor of Economics, Georgia State University; Co-author of a July, 2022 study titled “Young adult responses to taxes on  cigarettes and electronic nicotine delivery systems,” in the journal Addiction. Dr. Javeed Sukhera: Chair of Psychiatry at the Institute of Living and Chief of the Department of Psychiatry at Hartford Hospital.

In our Guest's Own Words: My name is Dr. Monika Juszczyk I am originally from Poland. I graduated from the Academy of Medicine in Wroclaw, Poland. Subsequently, I emigrated to the United States to pursue my dreams here. I left Poland with 1 backpack during the flood of the century. Since my degree was not recognized here and we study medicine in Polish I had to start from the beginning. I volunteered and did observerships at Allegheny Valley Hospital in Natrona Heights, PA plus other hospitals in Pittsburgh, PA. I joined Kaplan Center in Pittsburgh where I studied medicine with doctors from all over the world. All of us had to re-do our medical school in English; then take 3 required exams USMLE 1,2,3, a practical exam that was offered in Philadelphia, and English TOEFL. During this time I volunteered in church, watched children, study English on my own, and exercise regularly. After passing the required exams I applied for an Internal Medicine residency and was offered of match position in the St. Elizabeth hospital, Youngstown, OH which is part of NEOMED - Northeast Ohio Medical University. During residency, I stayed actively involved in research, especially in cardiovascular diseases and the processes of chronic inflammation. My interest lies in the early detection of chronic inflammatory processes, prevention, and treatment. Resuming health = flourishing physically, emotionally, and mentally within the internal and external environment. To stay mentally fit and balanced I prayed and went to church regularly, often daily. After graduating from IM residency I was accepted for a preventive cardiology fellowship in Hartford Hospital part of UCONN- University of Connecticut. My mentor was Paul D Thompson, MD, a cardiologist, and avid athlete who worked before in Pittsburgh. I worked in the lipidology, sports cardiology, and preventive cardiology department. Our research involved statins induced myopathy ( myalgia, muscle aches, myositis/ inflammation of the muscles) I worked closely not only with a team of cardiologists but also with exercise physiologists, geneticists, the research department of the University of Massachusetts, geneticists, as well as with psychologists During this time I publish a paper on statin myopathy, prevention, and treatment Listen & Watch on CTR Media Network https://www.ctrmedianetwork.com/show/the-tina-ramsay-show-podcast/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thetinaramsayshow/message

You made it! After all of the hard work over the last 4 years in pharmacy school, residency applications, and interviews, you've made it. You're just months away from graduating with your Doctorate. I hope you know that that is a huge milestone in itself. Now, you're ready to start your post-graduate training, hoping to match with your first choice. But through this process and throughout your career, you'll be presented with different opportunities - they may be for what you've envisioned for yourself professionally, or for something entirely different, new, and exciting. Perhaps you've matched with your first choice in Phase 1, a new opportunity in Phase 2, or you didn't match at all. And it may seem like this first step in your career is make it or break it, but rest assured, that is not the case.For one pharmacist, this process gave her a chance to pursue a path that was different from what she originally envisioned, but has resulted in an amazing opportunity that she never would have encountered.Dr. Madeline Acquilano was a top student at her school of pharmacy. She felt she did everything she needed to land her top residency program. When she didn't match in Phase 1, she was surprised and upset. She's now a Clinical Pharmacist at Hartford Hospital where she truly enjoys her job.Whether you're a pharmacy student or pharmacist know that rejection is redirection! It may lead you to a residency you didn't apply to before, a job you didn't know existed, or down a career path you hadn't fully explored. Dr. Madeline Acquilano  from The Luxe Pharmacist reminds you that there isn't a single path to success and through it all, you'll find what's meant for you!
