Introducing Liver Lineup: Updates & Unfiltered Insights — an exciting new podcast delivering timely, candid perspectives on the most pressing topics in the fast-moving world of hepatology. Created by Nancy Reau, MD, and Kimberly Brown, MD, and hosted by HCPLive, this series dives into the cutting edge of liver disease research, clinical care, and real-world practice. Intended for hepatologists, gastroenterologists, and other clinicians managing liver disease, Liver Lineup will unpack the latest research, debate emerging controversies, and spotlight developments that could shape — or sharpen — day-to-day practice, all with unfiltered perspective and clarity. Brown is division chief of gastroenterology and hepatology and the Associate Medical Director of the Henry Ford Hospital Transplant Institute at Henry Ford Hospital. She is also a Professor of Medicine at Wayne State University Reau is a professor of internal medicine, the Richard B. Capps Chair of Hepatology, Associate Director of Solid Organ Transplantation, and the section chief of Hepatology at Rush University Medical Center. In the inaugural episode, Brown and Reau introduce the mission behind Liver Lineup and share why they created the podcast. Driven by a shared commitment to education, clinical excellence, and elevating the conversation around liver disease, the hosts describe their hope to offer practicing clinicians a clear, concise, and engaging way to keep up with the latest news and innovations in hepatology. They aim to highlight data that's not only new, but meaningful — spotlighting developments that can improve patient care today and shape best practices tomorrow. Together, the Brown and Reau set the stage for what's to come: expert commentary on major liver meetings including Digestive Disease Week, European Association for the Study of the Liver Congress, The Liver Meeting from the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, and the American College of Gastroenterology Annual Meeting; coverage of key topics like MASLD, liver cancer, viral hepatitis, and transplant; and conversations with colleagues across the hepatology spectrum. From debates over practice-changing data to discussions on care pathways and diagnostics, Liver Lineup aims to keep clinicians informed, engaged, and ready to translate insight into impact. Looking ahead, Brown and Reau preview upcoming episodes covering major hepatology updates from Digestive Disease Week 2025 and European Association for the Study of the Liver Congress 2025 — with more to follow throughout the year.

On this week's Access Hour, we bring you the fourth pilot of a new program here on Forward Radio, Sacrifice Zones, hosted by Stretch. Tune in for an update to Dr. Lina Yassine's report a few weeks ago on the Access Hour. Lina is a Louisville endocrinologist who just returned from Jordan, where she was born. The title of her presentation is "No One, Nowhere, Is Safe In Gaza." Following the interview, Stretch sits down with fellow programmer Bob Cline to discuss the situation in Gaza and how it relates to inequities right here in the U.S. We all live in a Sacrifice Zone, separated only by how well insulated we are in settler colonial projects. Dr. Lina Yassine is a Palestinian who was born as a refugee in Jordan. She obtained her medical degree from the University of Jordan Medical school in Amman. She later on completed an internal Medicine residency and an Endocrinology fellowship at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. She is currently practicing Endocrinology in Louisville, Kentucky, and is sometimes referred to as the sugar doctor.

June 26, 2024 ~ Ferndale resident Ken Miller was the recipient of the state's first beating-heart transplant, with the help of Henry Ford Health cardiac thoracic and transplant surgeon Dr. Kyle Miletic. Guy, Lloyd, and Jamie talk with Miller and Dr. Miletic about the developments with transplants, and the incredible breakthroughs at Henry Ford Hospital.

On this week's program, your host, Justin Mog, is thrilled to introduce you to our newest volunteer programmer here at Forward Radio, Deanna Rushing (aka “Stretch”). Deanna is the host of a new show called “Sacrifice Zones.” As she points out, we all live in a Sacrifice Zone, separated only by how well insulated we are in settler colonial projects. 

Stretch has already produced two excellent pilot programs for her new show. After we recorded our conversation, Deanna realized she made two factual errors and would like to correct the record: In fact, JCPS spent $17 million on the Evolv weapons detection systems (she said $7 million), and the Doctrine of Discovery was issued in the late 1400's (not the late 1500's, as she said). Deanna's first pilot is a conversation about the situation in Palestine with Dr. Lina Yassine, a Palestinian who was born as a refugee in Jordan. She obtained her medical degree from the University of Jordan Medical school in Amman. She later on completed an internal Medicine residency and an Endocrinology fellowship at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. She is currently practicing Endocrinology in Louisville, Kentucky. Sometimes referred to as the sugar doctor. Listen at https://soundcloud.com/wfmp-forward-radio/access-hour-sacrifice-zones-pilot-episode-1-dr-lina-yassine-6-19-24 On the second pilot, premiering on Forward Radio later this week, Stretch interviews Noelle Tennis-Gulden about the Doctrine of Discovery and how it continues to influence the settler colonial mindset today. Listen at https://soundcloud.com/wfmp-forward-radio/access-hour-sacrifice-zones-pilot-2-noelle-tennis-gulden-doctrine-of-discovery-6-26-24 As always, our feature is followed by your community action calendar for the week, so get your calendars out and get ready to take action for sustainability NOW! Sustainability Now! is hosted by Dr. Justin Mog and airs on Forward Radio, 106.5fm, WFMP-LP Louisville, every Monday at 6pm and repeats Tuesdays at 12am and 10am.

The Girls get help from friends with the new business.By 2soon2no – Listen to the ► Podcast at Steamy Stories. The three cabin Cat was delivered on the first of June, and Cujo set about upgrading most of the systems right away. The water maker and ice maker were two of the more important elements. Their clients wanted to feel fresh, and drink cold liquor. Little things like navionics and weather trackers were also importantThey could not schedule cruises until they had a good timeline on repairs, so Java was keeping tabs on all of the new components, even using her government contacts to make sure everything cleared customs. Of course her position in the Ministry of Tourism made it critical that all import taxes be paid."Cujo says the motors are good and the fuel system is sufficient for now, but he will be installing a second tank, so we can motor as often as we need to, and we don't have the electronics yet for the satellite positioning and weather information." Java finished reading the report to Pam and Sharon."We have not scheduled any charters, but I'll bet that we can inspire a few trusty clients to make a sudden trip, perhaps next week." Java had already been thinking about who to call, that might be available."Let's get out there and take some pictures, then see who wants to come out and play," Java wickedly suggested.The decision was made to buddy boat with the Pearl, and bring Java and Cujo to test the systems for the next three days, then they would give the boat back to our little shipyard, to complete the retrofit."We also have a chance to get a Trimaran," Marny informed the girls. "It was made in the Baltic's, and sailed halfway around the world, before it found a hidden reef near Utila Honduras."I think we can put an air bladder in the damaged side, and tow it to our yard, with the Flipper. They cannibalized one of the motors to repair the other, but it's nothing that I can't fix or replace," Cujo insisted. "I will need Marko and two others. It's over 260 miles, as the crow flies, so it will take us about 4 days to get there, 2 days to secure everything, and probably a week to get it home.""We can help," Sharon insisted. "We are here for four weeks," she reminded them."You two have clients to deal with, and you have all the talent that anyone will ask for, when it comes to meeting their needs," Marny wisely counseled. "We have more cousins than you can count, and they are all seasoned sailors, happy to do a week's work for a hundred dollars!"The logic was inescapable, so the girls lowered their sites, to playing sex games and drinking sun-downers.The damaged but fairly new vessel was purchased for one third of its original price, and they had a budget for repairs that would put them all-in at less than $140,000 American. The entire investment that Pam and Sharon brought with them was needed just for the purchase, so getting back to work was even more important."We can call Carol and get some more money," Sharon suggested."We just need one more investor," Pam cried.They put in the call, only to be shocked at the answer."Why not get Shylo to invest, she is considering some property down there anyway," Carol counseled her two favorite clients."She has that much already?" Pam wondered, "She's a good stripper, but she ain't that much better than us, Is she?""Don't go looking for a money machine," Carol cautioned, "Shylo inherited a lot of money when her parents died, 10 years ago, she has had control over the fortune since she turned 21, and hasn't touched a penny of it since then.""She is not as good as you two for saving, cause it isn't necessary," Carol concluded. "I'll let her know, and I'm sure that she will call you either way, but until then, I can free up some of your money, but you have to pay it back before the tax period ends, or it will cost you dearly ladies, it won't be the worst thing that ever happened, but let's try not to give the Gov any more of your hard earned money than you must.The new addition to the fleet was ready for it's shakedown cruise. A small ceremony was performed to rename the boat, and it was a solemn occasion to the Belize sailing community.The dock was lined with ribbons and flowers were hung on every pilling. The women and men of the village brought out their best fish, lobster and crab dishes, while the ship owner supplied the booze. There were so many able musicians that there was never a need to hire one when free food and booze and the joy of life itself was all the payment they needed.The local brewery donated a keg, but Pam and Sharon bought two, to help cover their costs. They were gracious enough to supply the delivery and the foreman worked as the bartender, as all of their employees came out too. A case of Russian vodka and Mexican Tequila was supplemented by some local backyard still, that had proven itself to not make you blind."How do you get the whole town to come out with only 4 hours notice Marny!?" Pam wondered, loudly."There are about ten things you can say in Belize that will be automatic grounds for a party," she began, "Marriage, Baby, Christening, Birthday, Anniversary, New Home or Business, New Boat,... I think you get the picture. They love to party, and they are good at it!"They named the new boat the Opal, as a nod to the Pearl, which was the boat that started it all.The bottle was smashed, though they did not lose any champagne or spread glass shards everywhere, even in Belize it was done 'virtually' now.Music filled the air, and dancing broke out everywhere you looked. Sharon and Pam got to dance and party with each other, instead of dancing for someone else. Soon they snuck off to their cabin, but the noise was not going to be an issue. They wanted privacy, but the outside noise helped to cover the inside noise that they made!The two sleek Cat's sailed with the morning tide... Well, that was a fantasy! They actually took all day to get their passengers and crews.First off, one drunken cousin was too drunk to drive. His wife had to pick up the passengers, and her English was so spotty that no one knew if they were being delivered for ransom, or sailing, but they didn't have far to go, so all ended well.The big surprise was Shylo, and her companion Ken Miser. Ken was Shylo's favorite used car salesman. She called him that, although he owned 6 dealerships in the State of New Jersey, and Shylo didn't own a car!"Epic!" Ken cried. "This business is worth it's weight in gold!" he proclaimed. "If they start to advertise this at the Gingerbread House or their other clubs, you won't be able to get a spot, I sincerely must insist that you raise your prices, so I can keep this place a personal secret," he moaned."Wouldn't this be a lovely bonus for you to offer to your salesperson of the month, Ken? Maybe you should grab a dozen spots before you leave, I bet they will give you a volume discount," Shylo suggested."Well, you have me for four days ladies, convince me!" Ken was creeping up on 40, and he only had one ex wife to support, but Shylo really liked him. He was good with people, and he was actually well respected for the one thing he insisted that all of his people exhibited, honesty. Yes, as ridiculous as it sounded, Ken refused to push garbage onto people, so he gave his cars a full year of warranty, and no one was ever disappointed. As a result, his business was thriving. He had hundreds of people that would shop no where else, and that list grew every day."All hands to the fore deck for inspection," Java announced in a Captainly tone.Shylo, Ken, Sharon, Pam and Cujo gathered around the trampoline pads in the front of the cat, and waited for further instructions."Strip for inspection and sunscreen application!" Java commanded."She is bossier than my ex," Ken whined, but the bouncy boobs soon calmed his soul."My god man, you had better keep that away from Shylo," Ken gasped as he saw Cujo's swelling cock for the first time."I only share my husband's cock with women that I love Ken, so don't worry," Java explained.The three ladies applied lube with no regard to conservatism. In ten minutes, Ken and Cujo were so oiled up, you could fry them in a pan.Of course, the application process always results in extra touching and kissing, but the oil was edible, so there were no complaints.Ken kept himself in reasonable shape by being on the move 16 to 20 hours a day. Even when he would take his best salespeople to the Gingerbread House, he would be dancing with the ladies the whole time. He didn't waste time on smoking either, claiming it just wastes too much time!The one vice he did have, was sex. He liked to enjoy the ladies, and that could be expensive."Are you ladies sure that you are willing participants?" Ken asked, "You know I refuse to pay for sex, Shylo," Ken insisted."You paid for dinner last night Ken, and didn't you have a splendid evening," she asked, with an exaggerated lick of her lips."And didn't you pay for my flight to Belize? Isn't that 'paying for it', Ken?""Oh, no, the difference is, that you would have paid your own way, but I'm a Gentleman, and so I paid. But the point is, that I didn't 'have' to pay!" Ken proudly maintained his position."You make me so fucking hot when you talk that way," Shylo said, as she dropped to her knees and pulled Ken's 6 inches into her hungry mouth."Fucking strippers!" Java cried, "can you wait 'till we clear the channel Shylo!"Short of using a fire hose on them, there was little anyone could do, but a couple of guys on the Pearl caught sight of them, so the audience grew on the starboard side of the sister vessel.As the last person crossed the center-line of the boat, the change became enough to shift the sail to Jibe. Marny was forced to steer into the Opal, briefly, as she released the mainsail.Java saw the potential disaster, and she was forced to drop sail as she turned to starboard herself.The Opal slowly floated past the Pearl, as Ken moaned in orgasm, the eight members of the Pearl whistled and applauded all along the starboard rail, while Shylo finished the job.Java contained herself. As the Captain, she should have been angry, but she knew that Shylo had probably just guaranteed their suck-sess!Ken Miser was prepared to pay big time, to be assured of 12 weeks over the next year, and that was just what they needed to keep their business moving into this big expansion. In the back of her mind, she was thinking about how many other businesses would give them a 'retainer' to reserve their spots, as rewards for job performance.They arrived at their first anchorage before the sun set. This was the closest spot that they ever used, so there was never any firewood for a good shore party, but a lot of water-play was usually a big part of the first day.After Shylo's performance, the Pearl had a lot of cabin action, as the nurses got to know their customers a little better.When everything was all set, Marny jumped in her dinghy and paddled it over to the Opal."They may be a while, so let's get some food started," Marny ordered. "You know the rules ladies!""The customer cums first," they squealed!Even Ken helped with the prep. With all the ladies in the galley, that is where he wanted to be too. He tried to be useful, by standing behind Shylo as he reached around and swirled her nipples with his moistened index fingers."Shylo, should we excuse you two for a bit?" Marny asked, when some moans started to escape Shylo's lips."If Ken needs to go to his cabin, I will accompany him. What do you say Ken?" Shylo asked, with only a slight quiver to her words.Java was getting pretty worked up herself, just watching those fingers slowly circle those gorgeous nipples!"I'm fine for now, just ignore me," Ken proposed, but his fingers never stopped, as he shifted to explore Pam's mam's. His stiff cock was now tapping against Pam's pussy as he lightly twerked her nibs Pam was still wearing her trunks, but the tapping still had a noticeable effect on her."This is like a dream come true Java, I've been paying a lot of money over the last two years just to look at these beautiful girls, and now I get to touch them!" Ken was in his glory.Sharon was stationed at the BBQ when his roaming hands and free dick started helping her out, from behind."Oh, we are going to fuck you up after dinner, mister," Sharon shouted, as she dripped down her leg."Are those Nurses going to be working on their Patients much longer? I'm famished!" Ken whaled.Marny had to paddle back to the Pearl to get any movement. They would be just as hungry, maybe more-so after their stiff cocks softened, and there was extra blood to rush to their guts, looking for energy.Two stragglers were forced to swim, but it was no more than 50 yards, and they could make use of the paddle boards if they wanted.The slabs of Mahi Mahi had a special marinade that the flesh soaked in for 24 hours before cooking, but they boiled over in the tinfoil on the BBQ and the odor was inescapable, such that the stomachs forced everyone to forget their sex drive for an hour, and get fuel.Dinner flowed right into drinks, and Cujo pulled out his guitar to add entertainment. The Nurses paired up with the clients that they shared a cabin with, and enjoyed whispers, or cuddles, until they would get shuttled back to their cabins to get more physical comfort before a great night of sleep.Ken was trans-like, as he lay next to Shylo, but that was quickly brought to a halt, when Sharon and Pam descended on him."We are going to punish you for teasing us this afternoon, mister," Sharon's face was stern, and her hands on her hips suggested that this was going to be torturous."Give it your best shot Girlfriend," Ken challenged, but he was surprised by the attack.Shylo rolled onto one arm, while Pam grabbed the other and Sharon pushed herself onto his modest pecker."Oh dear, please don't hurt me," Ken mock shouted, as Java, Marny and Cujo gathered around to watch.Sharon did not have to jump for long, but she milked him with her talented pussy, then she removed the condom and went down on him with passion."Oh, Not that!" Ken pleaded, but not too loudly.Sharon worked her magic, and five minutes later she had some wood and she traded places with Pam.Pam used her mouth and hand, to make sure that Ken was ready, then she pushed her own puss onto Ken's happy pecker."Please, I don't think I can take any more," Ken cried, then winked for Cujo.This time he lasted twelve minutes.Shylo was third, and it took Pam fifteen minutes of gentle persuasion before she could hand her a re-stiffened cock.Shylo pushe

On this week's Access Hour, we bring you the first pilot of a new program here on Forward Radio, Sacrifice Zones, hosted by Stretch.

If you're someone who values your skin's health, but loves soaking up the sun's warmth, then UPF clothing might just be what you need! UPF stands for ‘ultraviolet protective factor,' and it's a rating system designed for fabrics and clothing, much like SPF (sun protection factor) is for sunscreen. As a dermatologist, I can't stress enough the importance of sun protection. Over the years, I've seen countless cases of skin damage that could have been prevented with proper UV protection. That's why I'm such a huge advocate for UPF clothing. It simplifies sun protection and makes it accessible for everyone! Tune in to this week's podcast episode with Dr. Virginia Reeder, where we discuss why sun protection matters, whether sunscreen alone is sufficient, and how to determine if your clothing offers adequate sun protection! Key Takeaways: UPF clothing provides superior sun protection compared to regular clothing. The UPF rating system indicates the level of sun protection provided by clothing. Wearing long sleeves and pants in the summer can be comfortable and beneficial for sun protection. There has been a cultural shift towards tanning, but it is important to prioritize sun protection.

In this episode, host Dr. Jacob Fleming and Dr. Jason Cox interview musculoskeletal radiologist Dr. Jon Jacobson about the current uses and future role of musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Stryker Interventional Spine https://www.strykerivs.com --- SHOW NOTES To begin, Dr. Jacobson provides insight into his professional journey, from training at Henry Ford Hospital to his current practice at Lenox Hill in New York City. He reflects on the formative period of his career spent under the mentorship of Dr. Marnix Van Holsbeeck, who played a key role in his training over MSK ultrasound. Dr. Jacobson also discusses his specific areas of interest, in particular, microvascular imaging, especially in the context of assessing blood flow following the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. He underscores the need for further research and exploration on this topic. Next, Dr. Jacobson explores the significance of MSK ultrasound education across various specialties, emphasizing the mutual learning that takes place across different specialties. Dr. Jacobson has led an annual MSK ultrasound course in San Diego for nearly two decades. He believes that MSK ultrasound has the potential to be scaled up to a level comparable to MSK imaging with CT and MRI. He emphasizes the important role that a skilled technologist plays in this process. He advocates for investing in training efficient and experienced technologists. This includes designating a lead technologist with expertise who can train other newer technologists. Dr. Jacobson further addresses ultrasound-guided interventions such as joint, bursa, and tendon sheath injections. The conversation also delves into the different paradigms of interventional radiology, which can sometimes be viewed as the provision of a clinical service versus the performance of order-based procedures. Finally, Dr. Jacobson elaborates on his collaboration with a nonprofit organization called Imaging the World. Their primary mission centers around ultrasound in Uganda, with a particular emphasis on advancing shoulder ultrasound capabilities in remote and underserved areas, both in terms of diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Jacobson provides training to physical therapists and technologists in ultrasound procedures and ultrasound-guided injections. The next phase of these nonprofit's efforts is directed towards underserved rural communities in North America. --- RESOURCES Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Education https://www.jacobsonmskus.com/

Adult education is undergoing a radical transformation as adult learners are no longer an afterthought. Traditional classrooms are almost obsolete and flexible, online programs tailored to individual needs are replacing them. This shift in teaching methods is not just about convenience—it has real-world implications. This is noted in a study conducted by the Department of Education citing that adults without a high school diploma were more likely to earn significantly less over their lifetime than those who do.Can adult learners, regardless of background, have the opportunity and resources to continue their education and achieve their goals?For the second segment of “Supporting Adult Learning in a DisruptEd World,” host Ron J. Stefanski chatted with Vicki Greene, CEO of the GED Testing Service, and Dr. Howard Liebman, CEO and Superintendent of Schools at Smart Horizons Career Online Education.

So I always kind of throw the question right back at the host and say, you tell me what organ you want and I'll tell you what it happens. Where are the big ones? I mean, we always think about the brain. We think the brain about in a medical sense, in a psychological sense. When we talk about having being sleep deprived or not getting good quality and quantity sleep, it adds things to depression. It adds to things like anxiety. It's going to be a risk factor for things like stroke. So it's horrible when we talk about the heart needless to say that when we talk about that poor quality and quantity sleep, yes, you're going to be at a higher risk for things like coronary artery disease, things like heart failure, things like arrhythmias. And the way I kind of summarize it is that at nighttime, what happens to our blood pressure and our heart rate? Well, they tend to take a break. They tend to dip down a little bit so they could take the stress off the heart. It's beating so hard during the day, but when you have poor sleep at night, you're never giving your body a chance to rest, especially if you have undiagnosed sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea that affects 30 million people in t...

Can we predict who will develop PTSD? Our guest, Dr. Greg Mahr, studies patients with acute trauma, and he discovered that their dreams in the days and weeks after their injury suggest who will recover fully and who will be mired in PTSD months later. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a condition that occurs after trauma marked by intense nightmares and increased risk of suicide, but only about 30% of those traumatized go on to develop PTSD. In Dr. Mahr's acute trauma center in Detroit, he interviews victims of car accidents and assaults and asks about their dreams in the days immediately after the trauma and finds that experiences of helplessness in their dreams and during their trauma correlate with the development of PTSD. After the traumatic event, nightmares tend to replicate the event exactly, but changes soon develop in those who recover in which the person finds some agency and the dreams eventually start to have happier endings. This mimics the process of IRT, Image Rehearsal Therapy, in which people can deliberately change their nightmares by imagining new versions of the troubling dreams. Dr. Mahr speculates that one of the purposes of dreaming is to encourage us to talk about our traumas and that they help us develop a narrative about the event. We take a question from Amy about how to bring up the topic of nightmares with a doctor and end by talking about post-traumatic growth and the idea that dreams are messages from ourselves. BIO: Greg Mahr MD is a psychiatrist, a teacher and a writer. He is director of Consultation Liaison Psychiatry at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and is on faculty at the Wayne State University School of Medicine. Dream work and Jungian depth psychology have been long standing passions for Greg, and at over 5000 dreams, he has one of the most extensive collection of personal dreams in the world.

Is Stress Or Food The Greater Contributor To Heart Disease? Dr. Heather Shenkman • http://www. drheathershenkman.com• Book – The Vegan Heart Doctor's Guide #HeatherShenkman#Vegan #HeartDoctor #ReversingHeartDisease Dr. Heather Shenkman is an author of her book The Vegan Heart Doctor's Guide to reversing heart disease, losing weight, and reclaiming your life. Finally, the Whole-Hearted Approach to Treating Cardiac Disease That You ve Been Waiting For If you suffer from heart disease, you are all too familiar with the standard treatment plan of pills, doctor s appointments, and tests. But interventional cardiologist Heather Shenkman, MD, says what happens inside medical offices and hospitals is only a tiny part of what it really takes to heal heart disease. Most conventional doctors barely mention lifestyle. And yet, what you eat and how much you move are central to attaining optimal health. Dr. Shenkman says a plant-based diet, plenty of exercise, and a whole-hearted approach to living make up the best prescription of all. And in The Vegan Heart Doctor s Guide to Reversing Heart Disease, Losing Weight, and Reclaiming Your Life, she lays out a simple, manageable protocol for transitioning to a vegan diet and safely leaving your former, sedentary self in the dust. Yet Dr. Shenkman doesn t just talk the talk; she walks the walk. Interspersed throughout the book s advice, she tells her own remarkable story of how as an adult she became an impressive endurance athlete fueled entirely by a plant-based diet. In an age when healthy living is no longer optional, Dr. Shenkman s message could not be more timely or inspiring. When you read this book, you ll realize heart disease does not mean your life is over. In fact, you can let your diagnosis motivate you to make the needed changes that free you up to finally fully live. Dr Shenkman is a interventional cardiologist in practice in Tarzana, California. Originally from the Detroit area, she attended medical school at Albany Medical College and completed her internal medicine residency training at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. She completed her cardiology fellowship training at the University of Rochester in Rochester, New York, and her interventional cardiology fellowship training at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts. While she performs complex angioplasties to open up clogged coronary arteries, she prefers to help her patients reduce their risk of heart disease through not only medication, but also a healthy lifestyle, including a plant-based diet and regular exercise. Dr. Shenkman has followed a plant-based diet since 2005. She is an avid athlete, having completed over 100 events of various distances, from sprint triathlons to Ironman distance triathlons, marathons and ultramarathons, and several 100-mile century cycling events. Dr. Shenkman is a strong believer in a plant-based diet for heart health, as numerous studies have demonstrated its benefits in the prevention and even reversal of coronary artery disease. A plant-based diet has fueled her athletic success, and she encourages her patients toward this diet for their own health as well. Currently she serves on the Board of Directors for the California chapter of the American College of Cardiology, representing cardiologists in the San Fernando Valley. To Contact Dr Heather Shenkman  drheathershenkman.com Disclaimer:Medical and Health information changes constantly.

A sweeping community development sponsored by Henry Ford Health, Tom Gores and the Detroit Pistons, and Michigan State University intends to invest $2.5 billion over the next decade to turn Detroit's New Center neighborhood into a vibrant, walkable community with state-of-the-art residential, commercial, retail, recreational and health care components.The development will be anchored by a reimagined Henry Ford Health academic healthcare campus, the highlight of which is a major expansion of Henry Ford Hospital including a brand new one-million-square-foot plus facility and patient tower. It also includes a new, cutting-edge medical research facility for Henry Ford Health + Michigan State University Health Sciences, part of Henry Ford Health's 30-year partnership with Michigan State University.Michigan State University's Executive Vice President for Health Sciences Dr. Norman J. Beauchamp Jr. joins me to talk about MSU's partnership with Henry Ford Health. He also updates the evolution of the Sustainable Health theme of MSU Strategic Plan 2030, for which he is the executive sponsor.Conversation highlights:(1:35) – “What's wonderful about it is the first thing this creates is this world-class destination for healthcare where you have fully integrated the very best in care with all the strengths and discovery that you find at a place like Michigan State.”(4:54) – “We're going to go directly at earlier detection of cancer, treatment when it's responsive, and access to the very best care.”(6:03) – “What will define our effort is bringing these clinical trials to all communities and also to overcome some of the barriers to communities of color in terms of access to participation in clinical trials. By bringing in people of all backgrounds into these clinical trials you then discover you will be able to help people of all backgrounds.”(7:13) – “There are moments in the history of a university where there's a transformation. In coming together with Henry Ford, and particularly the work we're going to do in Southeast Michigan, Michigan State will be seen as one of the leaders in the transformation of lives and the future of healthcare for Southeast Michigan. And Michigan State forevermore will be seen as a leader in healthcare.”(10:38) – “The goal of (the sustainable health theme of MSU Strategic Plan 2030) is to enhance the quality of life for people everywhere by comprehensively leveraging the expertise and research activities that improve health and systems, and to do that by bringing together the strengths together across the campus.”(16:00) – “What brought Henry Ford into this partnership with MSU was the realization of the breadth of our strengths. What we now have to do as part of our strategic plan is to mobilize the entire university.”(17:18) – “We want to identify Michigan State as the place to go as a student if you want to improve human health. And because of our depth and breadth, you can choose so many different ways to get there.”(18:10) – “This strategic plan builds bridges, not moats, and it connects us. Because this is an institution that has been built around collaboration, these bridges become superhighways really quickly.”Listen to “MSU Today with Russ White” on the radio and through Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your shows.

Sulfur containing AA generate H2SO4. Only 50-100 mEq of acid produced from these sources. - Cleared by the kidneys - Law of Mass Action - Velocity of reaction proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants - Goes through mass action formula for water - Concludes that water has H of 155 nanoM/L, more than the 40 in plasma - Says you can do the same mass experiment for every acid in the body - Can do it also for bases but he is not going to. - Acids and Bases can be strong or weak - Strong acids completely dissociate - Weak acids not so much - H2PO4 is only 80% dissociated - Weak acids are the principle buffers in the body - Then he goes through how H is measured in the blood and it becomes clear why pH is a logical way to measure. - Then there is a lot of math - HH equation - Derives it - Then uses it to look at phos. Very interesting application - Buffers - Goes tot he phosphate well again. Amazing math describing how powerful buffers can be - Big picture the closer the pKa is to the starting pH the better buffer, i.e. it can absorb lots of OH or H without appreciably changing pH - HCO3 CO2 system - H2CO3 to H + HCO3 has a PKA of 2.72 but then lots of Math and the bicarb buffer system has a pKa of 6.1 - But the real power of the bicarb buffer is that it is not a sealed system. The ability to ventilate and keep CO2 constant increases the buffering efficiency by 11 fold and the ability to lower the CO2 below normal increases 18 fold. - Isohydric principle - There is only one hydrogen ion concentration and since that is a critical part of the buffer equation, all buffer eq are linked and you can understand all of them by understanding one of them. So we just can look at bicarb and understand the totality of acid base. - Bicarb is the most important buffer because - High concentration in plasma - Ability for CO2 to ventilate - Other buffers include - Bone - Bone is more than just inorganic reaction - Live bone releases more calcium in response to an acid load than dead bone - More effect with metabolic acidosis than respiratory acidosis - Hgb - Phosphate - Protein

Ever wonder what doctors say about their patients when they think no one can hear? Dr. Rana Awdish doesn't have to wonder - as a patient, she overheard a lot of distressing things. Her experience led her to change how medical providers speak about - and to - their patients, spreading compassion through communication (which we know is a mission dear to my heart). Listen in to hear Dr. Awdish's take on the pressure on healthcare workers, too.    “I've come to know that people call you a hero when they're going to force you to betray yourself, and that that is a signal that you are being sent into a situation that will not leave you whole.” - Dr. Rana Awdish   In this episode we cover:    The “two educations” of Dr. Awdish - med school and a life threatening illness Why miscommunication is such a dangerous medical practice The well-intentioned, but wrong approach of trying to help people survive a violation of their values and their beliefs by reminding them of their strengths Being present is only the first step - validation is where the real healing begins Why compassionate communication helps doctors - maybe even more than it helps patients  The very cool CLEAR program - it uses trained actors to help doctors and medical providers learn how to connect with patients going through some of the hardest times of their lives Content note: mention of life threatening illness, pregnancy loss, and the medical industry.   Notable quotes:  “The work is to grow a heart that can hold all of it, even now. Even this.” - Dr. Rana Awdish   “The best medicine in the world doesn't work on the wrong story - so you better know your patient's story.” - Dr. Rana Awdish, citing Jay Baruch's work in narrative medicine About our guest:   Dr. Rana Awdish is a critical care physician operating on the front lines during COVID-19 at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, MI. Her own serious illness in 2008 has informed her belief in the power of compassion, sacred listening, and community. As medical director of the Care Experience for the Henry Ford Healthcare System, she is training staff to practice empathy in critical care.
