This episode of EM Pulse dives into one of the most stressful scenarios in the ED: the febrile infant in the first month of life. Traditionally, a fever in this age group has meant an automatic “full septic workup,” including the dreaded lumbar puncture (LP). But times are changing. We sit down with experts Dr. Nate Kuppermann and Dr. Brett Burstein to discuss a landmark JAMA study that suggests we might finally be able to safely skip the LP in many of our tiniest patients. The Study: A Game Changer for Neonates Our discussion centers on a massive international pooled study evaluating the PECARN Febrile Infant Rule specifically in infants aged 0–28 days. While previous guidelines were conservative due to a lack of data for this specific age bracket, this study provides the evidence we've been waiting for. The Cohort: A large pool of infants across multiple countries. The Findings: The PECARN rule demonstrated an exceptionally high negative predictive value for invasive bacterial infections. The Big Win: The rule missed zero cases of bacterial meningitis. Defining the Danger: SBI vs. IBI The experts break down why we are shifting our terminology and our clinical focus. Serious Bacterial Infection (SBI)  Historically, this was a “catch-all” term including Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs), bacteremia, and meningitis. However, UTIs are generally more common, easily identified via urinalysis, and typically less life-threatening than the other two. Invasive Bacterial Infection (IBI)  This term refers specifically to bacteremia and bacterial meningitis. These are the “high-stakes” infections the PECARN rule is designed to rule out. Dr. Kuppermann notes that we should ideally view bacteremia and meningitis as distinct entities, as the clinical implications of a missed meningitis case are far more severe. The HSV Elephant in the Room One of the primary reasons clinicians hesitate to skip an LP in a neonate is the fear of missing Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infection. Low Baseline Risk: While the overall risk of HSV in a febrile infant is low, the risk of “isolated” HSV (meningitis without other signs or symptoms) is even rarer. Screening Tools: Most infants with HSV appear clinically ill. Clinicians can also use ALT (liver function) testing as a secondary screen – transaminase elevation is a common marker for systemic HSV. Clinical Judgment: If the baby is well-appearing, has no maternal history of HSV, no vesicles, and no seizures, the risk of missing HSV by skipping the LP is exceptionally low. Practical Application: Shared Decision-Making This isn’t just about the numbers—it’s about the parents. “Families don’t mind their babies being admitted… They do not want the lumbar puncture. It is the single most anxiety-provoking aspect of care.” — Dr. Brett Burstein The PECARN “Low-Risk” Criteria:  (Remember, this rule applies only to infants who are not ill-appearing.) Urinalysis: Negative Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC): ≤ 4,000/mm³ Procalcitonin (PCT): ≤ 0.5 ng/mL The Bottom Line: If an infant is well-appearing and meets these criteria, physicians can have a nuanced conversation with parents about the risks and benefits of forgoing the LP, while still admitting the child for observation (often without empiric antibiotics) while cultures brew. Key Takeaways The “Well-Appearing” Filter: If an infant looks ill, the rule does not apply. These patients require a full workup, including an LP, regardless of lab results. Meticulous Physical Exam: Assess for a strong suck, normal muscle tone, brisk capillary refill, and any rashes or vesicles. History is Key: Always ask about maternal GBS/HSV status, pregnancy or birth complications, prematurity, sick contacts, and any changes in feeding, stooling or activity. Procalcitonin: PCT is the superior inflammatory marker for this rule. If your facility only offers traditional markers like CRP, the PECARN negative predictive value cannot be strictly applied. In the words of Dr. Kuppermann: “If you don’t have it, for God’s sakes, just get it! ALT to Screen for HSV: While not part of the official PECARN rule, our experts suggest that significantly elevated liver enzymes should raise suspicion for systemic HSV. Observe, Don’t Discharge: Being “low risk” does not mean the infant goes home. All infants ≤ 28 days still require admission for 24-hour observation and blood/urine cultures.

In their fourth episode, the BTK Surgical Endoscopy team delves into the endoscopic management of the dreaded and unexpected. They review how to take care of high-risk surgical complications and introduce the use of a number of endoscopic tools including suturing, stent placement, clips, and the EndoVac. Following a review of a variety of endoscopic techniques, they present case-based scenarios that allow the listeners to understand the application of the endoscopic interventions in everyday practice. Becoming facile with endoscopic interventions may give surgeons the ability to nonoperatively take care of the most complex patients. Hosts:-  Dr. Sullivan “Sully” Ayuso, Minimally Invasive Surgeon, Dell Medical School, University of Texas at Austin (Austin, TX), @SAyusoMD (Twitter)- Dr. H.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 423 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this engaging conversation, Peter Boulden and Craig discuss the challenges associates face in dental practices, the importance of mentorship, and the impact of economic factors on dentistry. They reflect on the legacy of Dr. Bruce Baird, explore the future of AI in dentistry, and emphasize the need for effective communication and same-day dentistry to enhance productivity. The discussion also touches on overcoming money mindset issues and the necessity of strategic planning for dental practices. TAKEAWAYS Associates need to be proactive in seeking same-day dentistry opportunities. Effective communication and visual aids can significantly improve patient acceptance of treatment plans. Money mindset issues can hinder associates' productivity and decision-making. Mentorship is crucial for the growth and success of new associates in dental practices. Understanding economic trends can help dentists navigate their practices more effectively. Same-day dentistry can be a game changer for practice growth. Associates should not diagnose based on patients' perceived financial situations. Utilizing technology in consultations can enhance patient understanding and trust. Creating a supportive environment for associates fosters their development and confidence. Dentists should focus on long-term goals and strategic planning for their practices.

Then, Dr. Kay shared her favorite poem about “Women's Talk”.What do you think: Do you think there is value to “gossip” or “women's talk”? Relatedly, what do you think about the main actors of Heated Rivalry not disclosing their sexual identities?

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 422 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this episode of the Bulletproof Dental Practice Podcast, Craig Spodak and Peter Boulden discuss the significance of the New Year as a time for reflection and goal setting. They emphasize the importance of strategic planning in dentistry, highlighting how the urgent often overshadows the important tasks that lead to growth. The conversation explores the allure of production over strategic thinking, the cost of never stepping back from clinical work, and the necessity of creating a sustainable practice. They also touch on the value of team consensus and the impact of the Bulletproof Summit as a transformative experience for dental professionals. TAKEAWAYS New Year's is a time for reflection and goal setting. Writing down goals provides a snapshot of past aspirations. The urgent often crowds out the important in dentistry. Dentists often prioritize being busy over being productive. Strategic time must be protected, not just found. The cost of never stepping back can be detrimental. Creating a sustainable practice requires strategic planning. Team consensus can drive motivation and ownership. The Bulletproof Summit offers transformative experiences for dental teams. If nothing changes, nothing changes.

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 419 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden and Dr. Craig Spodak DESCRIPTION In this conversation, Peter Boulden and Craig discuss the essential skills and mindset required for dental entrepreneurs. They emphasize the importance of projecting confidence, understanding business metrics, and becoming a multiplier in leadership roles. The discussion also touches on the concept of clarity in goals and the distinction between signal and noise in the entrepreneurial journey. The speakers share insights from their experiences and provide actionable advice for dental professionals looking to thrive in their practices. TAKEAWAYS A dental entrepreneur has a vision beyond clinical work. Not everyone is suited to be a dental entrepreneur. Projecting confidence is crucial for effective leadership. Understanding your numbers is essential for business success. Sales can solve many business problems, but clarity is key. Becoming a multiplier enhances team performance and satisfaction. The lost decade refers to a lack of clarity in goals and direction. Signal versus noise is important in focusing on what drives growth. Regularly reviewing financial metrics can lead to better decision-making. Creating a business that runs without you is the ultimate goal.  CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to Dental Entrepreneurship 02:12 Defining the Dental Entrepreneur 04:03 The Importance of Confidence in Leadership 08:30 Understanding Your Numbers 12:47 The Role of a Multiplier in Business 18:14 The Lost Decade of Learning 24:48 Signal vs. Noise in Entrepreneurship 30:47 Outro REFERENCES Bulletproof Summit Bulletproof Mastermind

Veterinary teams everywhere are feeling the strain of rising no-show appointments, especially during the hectic holiday season. This episode examines why veterinary clients are ghosting more frequently and what that means for clinic schedules, revenue, and staff morale. Hosts Dr. Ernie Ward and Becky Mossor, MPA, RVT, walk through the real drivers behind no-show appointments, including financial stress, price shopping, long wait times, and the comfort some clients feel in canceling silently rather than calling the clinic. What makes this conversation useful is its practicality. The episode covers the pros and cons of appointment deposits, how to identify chronic no-show patterns, and when to adjust scheduling habits. You'll also hear how technology can reduce missed appointments, from “safe exit” text confirmations to automated pre-visit questionnaires, and why these small tools often change client behavior in a meaningful way. For teams balancing compassion with realistic clinic operations, this episode offers a grounded look at how to protect time, maintain revenue, and reduce frustration without creating unnecessary barriers for clients. It's an honest, solutions-focused discussion aimed at helping veterinary professionals manage one of the industry's quieter but most persistent challenges. #veterinaryviewfinder #veterinarypodcast #vetmed #vetteam #vetlife #veterinarian #vettech #vetclinic #veterinarypractice #clientcommunication #noappointment #noshowrate #veterinarymanagement #clinicworkflow #holidayseasonvet #vetstaffsupport #veterinarybusiness #practiceowner #petcareprofessionals #veterinaryissues #ghostingclients #appointmentmanagement #vetreceptionists #veterinaryleaders #vettechlife

From college dorms to quiet suburbs, fentanyl's reach no longer fits a stereotype. This week on Pathology with Dr. Priya, a Zone 7 series, Sheryl McCollum and Dr. Priya Banerjee confront the reality of a Providence College house party that nearly claimed seven young lives.

Content Warning: This episode discusses eating disorders, starvation, and medical neglect. Listener discretion is advised. This week on Pathology with Dr. Priya, a Zone 7 series, Sheryl McCollum and Dr. Priya Banerjee look at some of the most painful and complex ways a body can fail, from starvation and radiation exposure to delayed deaths that can take years to claim a life. Dr. Priya Breaks down the science of how the body deteriorates during starvation, explains why children in famine zones appear bloated, and discusses both abuse and eating disorder cases that show the psychological and biological devastation of prolonged deprivation. They also explore radiation-linked illnesses, the hidden risks of environmental exposure, and what happens when a wound or poisoning leads to death years later.

A photograph can provide documentation but can’t tell the whole story. This week on Pathology with Dr. Priya, a Zone 7 series, Dr. Priya Banerjee joins Sheryl McCollum to share why revisiting a cold-case scene, sometimes decades later, can completely shift an investigation. When she traveled for hours to inspect an identical car tied to a cold case, she discovered details impossible to see on paper. They talk about how vehicles can become part of the forensic story, why the setting itself matters, and how today’s technology can clarify what investigators once assumed. From seat position to power locks, their conversation highlights what’s lost when professionals rely only on reports and what’s gained when they return to the scene. Highlights • (0:00) Sheryl welcome listeners and introduces the topic: why visiting a scene is essential in cold-case investigations • (1:00) Dr. Priya describers visiting a cold-case scene and inspecting an identical car for accuracy • (2:15) The car as a crime scene: how transport vehicles create multiple evidence locations • (3:30) How changing car technology, from manual locks to sensors, alters forensic interpretation • (5:00) What revisitng a scene reveals that photos and reports cannot • (10:00) Revisiting old neighborhoods and the effects of time, urban change, and memory on case context • (12:00) Dr. Priya’s methodical process for documenting and photographing scene and how that strengthens her courtroom testimony • (13:15) Returning submerged and long-missing vehicles and bringing families long-awaited closure • (14:30) Dr. Priya on method, teamwork, and why working cold cases feels like giving back • (20:45) Revisiting old files with fresh eyes: how old photos, modern technology, and tools like Othram and NamUs can finally move cold cases forward About the Hosts Dr. Priya Banerjee is a board-certified forensic pathologist with extensive experience in death investigation, clinical forensics, and courtroom testimony.
