In this episode of the ICHE Podcast, we explore the critical issue of blood culture contamination and the role of initial specimen diversion devices (ISDDs) in reducing false-positive results. Host Dr. David Calfee is joined by a distinguished panel of experts including: Dr. Maria Navas, Dr. Mark Rupp, Dr. Lucy Tompkins, and Dr. Francine Touzard Romo. The discussion begins with an overview of blood culture contamination—what it is, how it happens, and why it matters for patient care. Our experts examine the prevalence of contamination and its consequences, including unnecessary antibiotic use, prolonged hospital stays, and increased healthcare costs. The conversation then shifts studies recently published in ICHE on ISDDs—what they are, how they function, and whether they are an effective solution. Drs. Tompkins, Touzard Romo, and Navas share insights from their recent studies, followed by a discussion on the challenges of adherence in clinical settings. Dr. Rupp presents additional data to round out the discussion. At the conclusion of today's episode, each expert offers a practical tip for healthcare professionals considering ISDD implementation in their institutions.

On this episode of The ICHE Podcast, we dive into research priorities in healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial stewardship (AS) with experts Robin Jump, Jennie Kwon, Daniel Livorsi, Lona Mody, and Eli Perencevich. The discussion explores the importance of publishing research agendas to stimulate focused research, guide researchers in prioritizing critical topics, and inform funding decisions. By addressing these goals, the panel aims to align research efforts with pressing clinical challenges, foster innovation, and bridge gaps between research and implementation. The guests also discuss the structured methodologies used to draft these research agendas, detailing how key priorities were identified and refined to address the most urgent needs in the field. The panel reviews three recently published agendas in ICHE: A Call to Action: The SHEA Research Agenda to Combat Healthcare-Associated Infections, Research Agenda for Transmission Prevention within the Veterans Health Administration, 2024–2028, and Research Agenda for Antibiotic Stewardship within the Veterans Health Administration, 2024–2028. Key topics include addressing antimicrobial resistance, improving diagnostic tools, and tackling HAIs in vulnerable populations. The conversation further examines the applicability of findings from VA-specific agendas to non-VA healthcare settings, concluding that many insights are broadly relevant. Listeners will gain a clearer understanding of the research landscape and actionable ways to contribute to advancements in patient safety and healthcare quality.

In this episode of the ICHE podcast, we explore the theme of respiratory culturing appropriateness in pediatric patients, emphasizing diagnostic stewardship's role in optimizing patient outcomes. Host David Calfee, MD, MS and guest experts, Kathleen Chiotos, MD, MSCE and Edward Lyon, DO, MA, share insights on how stewardship practices can refine respiratory testing in pediatric intensive care units (PICUs), where evidence suggests these tests are often overused without clinical benefit. They examine challenges in implementing stewardship, including barriers like resistance to change and logistical issues, and discuss practical strategies to overcome these obstacles. The conversation highlights two recent studies published in ICHE: Dr. Lyon's work on repeat tracheal aspirate cultures in PICUs, which analyzes their frequency, resistance patterns, and impact on antimicrobial use, and Dr. Chiotos's study on a tracheal aspirate culture stewardship intervention, examining its effect in a tertiary PICU. Both authors discuss their studies' methodologies, findings, limitations, and implications for future practice. To wrap up, each expert offers actionable recommendations for healthcare professionals interested in improving respiratory culturing practices at their institutions, providing practical steps to enhance safety and care efficiency. Full versions of the articles discussed in this episode are available in the September issue of ICHE.

The first half of the Popol Vuh as we have it from the Kʾicheʾ colonial tradition is a quintessentially Kingless epic, as the story revolves around pre-human gods, successive generations of hero twins, who must defeat a series of aggrandizer figures, including the lords of death in the underworld, in order to bring about the dawning of the human age. Although the same basic story can be found in earlier art and hieroglyphic inscriptions which since the 1990s are being deciphered at an exhilarating pace, recent research has pointed out that this anti-accumulative tendency of the story may be somewhat unique to the Popol Vuh as we have it, which, it is hypothesised, may represent a retelling slanted toward anti-colonial resistance. While I agree that this may also be the case, I (based on my limited understanding as an ignorant outsider) think it might make even more sense to take this story, written down only some thirty years after first European contact, as faithfully reflecting older layers, though perhaps not of the somewhat exploitative and stratified Classic Maya (ca 250–950 CE) but rather of the socially creative, decentralized, and egalitarian Postclassic Maya (950–1539), which represents one of the great examples in world history of the deescalation of class struggle, when people came together to build the Kingless Generation.

In this edition of Illinois Family Spotlight, Monte Larrick interviews Kirk Smith, executive director of the Illinois Christian Home Educators (ICHE). Over the weekend of May 20th, ICHE hosted their annual homeschool conference at Olivet Nazarene University where families were not only encouraged to educate their children academically, but educate them spiritually. When asked about the difference between public school and home school, Smith replied that children in government education are being taught anti-Christian morals. "They are learning all these. . .ideologies that are not just unbiblical, they're anti-biblical. There's a big difference there. It's one thing to lack reverence, but it's another thing to be irreverent, and that's where our school system has gotten. It is blatantly anti God and enough is enough." There is so much we can do as Christians to protect and equip families to raise their kids in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and one of them is to promote home discipleship. "I would encourage pastors to talk about home discipleship. . .this is the time for the church to be the church; so many are running away from the battle rather than running to it, or they're embracing the enemy. If the church does not rise up, we are in bad straights here in America." To learn more, visit ICHE.org
