Good afternoon, IASP Members! As we start shifting into summer planning mode, I'm excited to share the latest episode of the IASP Advocacy Podcast: “Top Ten Hidden Nuggets from the 2025 Legislative Session: What Principals Need to Know Now.”

Health care executive and patient advocate Aja Best discusses her article, "How early CKD diagnosis can save lives: a transplant survivor's journey." She shares her harrowing personal experience with a delayed diagnosis of IgA nephropathy during pregnancy, which led to a challenging path through dialysis and ultimately to a life-saving kidney transplant. Aja highlights the often-silent progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD), a growing global health crisis, and points to critical gaps in the health care system that prevent timely intervention. The conversation explores the importance of early screening, proactive and coordinated care, the potential of technology and predictive analytics to improve patient outcomes, and the power of patient advocacy. Aja passionately calls for systemic changes and greater awareness to ensure others don't face the same missed opportunities she did. The key takeaway is: Early CKD detection through routine screening and a more integrated, patient-centered health care approach can significantly alter disease progression, improve lives, and reduce the burden of this widespread condition.

This episode we are looking at the early years of the official reign of Naka no Oe, aka Tenji Tenno, including the building of a brand new capital on the shores of Lake Biwa. For more information, see: https://sengokudaimyo.com/podcast/episode-126 Rough Transcript Welcome to Sengoku Daimyo's Chronicles of Japan.  My name is Joshua and this is episode 126:  New Beginnings The local farmers couldn't help but talk.  There was so much construction, but it wasn't entirely clear what was being built.  The land between the mountains and the lake had been neatly groomed fields, but now that the government workmen had moved in, all of those fields were being cleared.  This new construction was much larger than anything that people had seen before.  Rocks were coming in from far flung quarries, and local kilns were being set up to create tiles, while woodcutters were sent into the forests to bring logs to the site. There were various stories about what was going on—a new provincial government office, or perhaps a new temple, but perhaps the most outlandish was that this was going to be some kind of royal palace.  The sovereign himself was taking in interest in this little slice of Afumi, and he was going to abandon the Home Territories of Yamato and bring his entire court to the shores of Lake Biwa. What a far-fetched story!  …Wasn't it? Last episode we recapped a lot of the history of Prince Naka no Oe and how he had come to this point: the Isshi Incident, the Taika reforms, as well as the reigns of his uncle, Prince Karu, aka Koutoku Tennou, and his mother, Takara Hime, aka Saimei Tennou.  With Takara Hime's death, Naka no Oe was now – finally, as he might have thought -- running things officially.  He had prosecuted the war in Baekje, and with that loss, he had turned his focus back to the archipelago.  He now had refugees to settle, and defenses to set up.  And then there were the embassies that would be coming, in an apparent attempt to normalize relations post-conflict.  That could only go so far, however, given that Tang and Silla had simply turned their war efforts against Goguryeo.  So one imagines that any diplomatic discussions were held with the understanding that the international order was still in flux. And so we arrive in the 8th month of 665, as some of the first defensive castles were being erected.  That same month, Tamna—the kingdom on the modern island of Jeju—sent ambassadors to the Yamato court.  The diplomatic ties between Yamato and Tamna were a relatively recent occurrence, but with Baekje gone, one wonders if Yamato wasn't feeling out a new alliance on the continent.  That said, Tamna does not appear to have been a major player on the international stage.    They had been a tributary of Baekje, and may have even been one of the last holdouts of the proto-Japonic language for a long time.  Indeed, a 15th century Joseon history records a foundation myth of Tamna that emphasizes close early ties with the Japanese archipelago. The following month saw another visit by Tang ambassadors, only a year after Guo Wucong had come to the court.  Guo Wucong had been wined and dined, and things seem to have gone well, as this time he returned, but he wasn't the one leading the embassy this time.  That honor went to Liu Degao, sub-prefect of Yizhou, among his many titles.  Yizhou is the same location where the previous missions from Yamato to the Tang court had made landfall.  Presumably, Liu Degao would have had experience with the embassies that passed through Yizhou, so he seems a logical choice to be sent over to the archipelago. This seems like an escalation, with a more titled ambassador leading the party. It is possible that the Tang were trying to not only reset their relationship with Yamato, but also attempt to woo them to their side.  The Tang likely knew that if they defeated Goguryeo, then they would have another problem to work out:  The alliance with Silla.  At the moment both Tang and Silla were in a partnership of convenience, but the Tang empire didn't get where it was by just giving up territory. And Silla was, itself, ambitious.  It would be in the Tang dynasty's best interest to have Yamato on its side in case Silla became a problem.  At the very least, the Tang court could have just been trying to make sure that Yamato would stay out of any continental entanglements, such as by supporting Goguryeo. Within the Yamato court, it is unclear which way, exactly, they were leaning at this point.  The court was clearly building defensive positions—fortresses and more.  At the same time, there were likely those who welcomed any return to stable relations with the Tang.  After all, there were still Wa in Chang'an and elsewhere, and there was still a hunger in the archipelago for the books and other goods that the Silk Road could provide.  On the other hand, they may have felt more at home with Goguryeo, or even Silla.  The bonds with the Korean peninsula were older and likely stronger.  And, as long as the Tang Empire was busy with other states, then perhaps they would be too preoccupied to attack Yamato. Liu Degao and his entourage had arrived at Tsushima on the 28th day of the 7th month.  They would have been put up there for a time, and entertained.  If this embassy followed later conventions, they would have likely pulled into a harbor, like the one near Kofunakoshi.  This is a narrow spot between the two parts of Tsushima, where we know that in the 9th century, ships from the Tang empire would stop, register goods and people, and likely have them transferred to Japanese ships.  All of the checking and cataloging would happen  at nearby Bairinji temple. Even if they didn't have to transport everything to another ship, it is likely that they would held at Tsushima for a while for security purposes.  Tsushima was ideal, both for its distance, halfway between the Korean peninsula and the Japanese archipelago, but also for its shape, with numerous places that ships could sit at anchor in secluded bays away from any weather or rough seas that could otherwise cause problems. We don't know exactly what the Tang embassy's stay was like, but we know that they were at Tsushima for roughly two months, which was probably the time it took to get a message to the Yamato court and back.  We know how long it was because we learn that it is on the 20th day of the 9th month that they finally made landfall at Tsukushi, or Kyushu, and two days later they forwarded a letter-case to the Yamato court. Two months later, we know they were at the court, as there was a banquet held for Liu Degao on the 13th day of the 11th month, and then a month after that, Liu Degao and the rest of the mission were presented gifts, after which they left and returned to the Tang court.  We are also told that Mori no Kimi no Ohoishi, along with Sakahibe no Muraji no Iwashiki and Kimi no Kishi no Harima all went to the Tang court that same month, no doubt traveling with Degao and Wucong. On the first month of the following year, Neungnu of Goguryeo was sent to the Yamato court to offer tribute.  On the same day, the 11th day of the first month, Tamna also sent someone identified as Prince Siyeo to offer presents.  Immediately, I'm wondering about the way that this is presented.  Both of these states – Goguryeo and Tamna - were allies of the former Baekje kingdom.  I have to wonder how the Goguryeo ships made their way—did they come down the western side of the peninsula, through the Bohai sea, and thus past possible Tang patrols between their peninsular and continental territories, or did they head through the East Sea, aka the Japan Sea, where they would have to pass by the coast of Silla, whom they were also not on great terms with?  The fact that both missions are mentioned at the same time suggests that maybe the Goguryeo embassy sailed down to Tamna, on Jeju Island, and then the two groups made their way over to Yamato together from there. Other things about this entry to note is that the Chroniclers use different terms for these visits to the Yamato court.  Goguryeo uses a term that Aston translates as “offering tribute” while Tamna uses a different term indicating that they were “offering presents”.  This may be as simple as the difference in the various relationships between the polities, as viewed by the Chroniclers.  After all, there was a long relationship between Yamato and Goguryeo, which was considered one of the three Han, or Samhan.  Whether true or not, I could certainly see the Chroniclers feeling that Goguryeo was in a subordinate relationship with Yamato.  Tamna, on the other hand, was a more recent addition to the Yamato diplomatic sphere.  As such, it would be understandable, to me if the Chroniclers still saw it as a more independent entity. It also may hint at different messages being communicated.  As far as we can tell, Tamna wasn't under direct threat by the Tang empire—though they may have been feeling a little bit of heat, given the fall of Baekje and the Tang empire's new outpost on the peninsula.  Goguryeo, however, was under more direct threat, and had been in conflict with the Tang for years.  On top of that, based on what we can tell, it seems that Yeong Gaesomun, the despot who had been ruling Goguryeo and helping it defend against the Tang, had just passed away.  It may have been that the Goguryeo court was seeking support against Tang and Silla, as they were in a moment of instability, themselves.  As such, “Tribute” might indicate that they were more formally petitioning Yamato for support. Goguryeo envoy Neungnu left about 5 months later, on the 4th day of the 6th month but then another envoy, this time Minister Eulsyang Oemchu, arrived a little more than four months later.  Much like with the Tang, this feels like Goguryeo was upping the ante, sending higher ranking officials to negotiate with Yamato.  That lends some credence to the theory that there was something of a bidding war going on for Yamato's involvement in international affairs.  For Yamato, however, it would seem that getting involved in continental affairs was hardly something they were itching to do.  Instead, they continued their moves to fortify. In local events, we know that on the 11th day of the 10th month of 665, while the Liu Degao delegation was still in Yamato, there was a great “review”, by which they seem to mean a sutra reading, at Uji.  It is unclear just where this was held, as I haven't found reference to any particular temple.  However, it does indicate that there was activity in the area. Uji is probably most popular, today, for its role as a setting in the Tale of Genji.  There indeed numerous reminders there of the Heian period, including the hall of Ujigami Shrine, and the famous Hou-ou-do, or Phoenix Hall, of the Byoudouin. In 1053, Fujiwara Yorimichi inherited the villa from his father, Fujiwara Michinaga, and he converted it into a Pure Land temple.  Michinaga is thought to have been one of the people on whom Murasaki Shikibu based the character of the Shining Prince, Hikaru Genji.  That's all too late for this moment in the Chronicles, of course., but we do have earlier references to Uji as a place, as well as in various names.  It seems to have been part of the territory of the Hata, who controlled much of the area of modern Kyoto and environs.  There is a temple, Houjouin, also known as Hashidera, which claims to date back to the 7th century, and may have been the site of the above-mentioned sutra reading in 665.  According to the Temple's own legend, it was built around 604, when Hata no Kawakatsu built the famous Uji bridge, or Hashi, on the orders of Prince Umayado, aka Shotoku Taishi.  Other sources give the date as 646.  The temple was rebuilt in the 13th century, and as far as I can tell, nothing remains of the original temple, but it is possible that it was the site of this review. The next non-Diplomatic record of the Chronicles is from the 3rd month in 666.  The Crown Prince went to the house of Saheki no Komaro no Muraji, paying a sympathy call as Saheki appears to have passed away after having been gravely ill.  Saheki no Komaro no Muraji was one of those who had helped Naka no Oe in the Isshi Incident.  He had been introduced to the plot by Nakatomi no Kamatari, and then critical in the literal execution at the court.  He later led forces against Furubito no Oe, assuming that “Sahekibe no Komaro” is the same as “Saheki no Muraji no Komaro”.  There is also a relative, possibly his son, Takunaha, who was one of the Yamato court's overseas envoys.  Thus, one can understand that he had some importance to the Royal family, and we can probably assume that he had been involved in much more.  The Crown Prince, we are told, lamented him on account of his loyal service from the very beginning. One of the confusing things in this part of the Chronicle is the term “Crown Prince”.  It doesn't help that the Chroniclers were pulling from different records, and sometimes using anachronistic titles for individuals.  Naka no Oe had been known as the Crown Prince since the time of Takara Hime, whether he actually was or not.  Now he was in charge of the government, but it isn't clear that he had been formally invested as tennou.  More than that, there is mention of an investiture in either 667 or 668, several years after his quote-unquote “reign” had begun.  This makes some sense.  After all, when Takara Hime passed away, there was a foreign war to prosecute, and that probably took a fair bit of resources.  Plus, Naka no Oe had been running things for a while before that, or so we are told.  It would make sense if things just kept on going as they had been, and they held the actual investiture when they got around to it. We also know that he was busy with building projects: not just for the defense of the archipelago, but even a new capital and a new palace.  We'll talk about it a bit more, later, but suffice it to say that he may have been taking his time and gathering everything together. All of this makes the Chronicles themselves somewhat confusing.  They throw around the terms “Crown Prince” and “Sovereign”—well, “Sumera no Mikoto”—almost interchangeably.  Meanwhile, they've also stated that the Crown Prince was Prince Ohoama, Naka no Oe's younger brother. Based on my read of things, I believe we can distinguish between the two by whether or not it specifically calls them out as just “Crown Prince”, or “Crown Prince, younger brother to the sovereign”.  The latter is clearly Prince Ohoama, and the first is most likely Naka no Oe.  After all, in this instance, why would Prince Ohoama be the one so struck by the death of Saheki no Muraji?  Based on the story the Chronicles have told us, wouldn't it make more sense that it was Naka no Oe lamenting the death of one who had helped put him on the throne, rather than sending his brother? So keep that in mind as we go through the narrative.  I'll try to point out whom I believe they are speaking about, at least until we reach the point where Naka no Oe actually is invested. Getting back to the Chronicles, in the 7th month of the year 666, some four months after the illness and death of Saheki no Komaro no Muraji, another disaster struck—this time a natural disaster.  Great floods were reported—how widespread we aren't told.  This is often a problem in a land with many mountains that often gets large rains.  It is especially problematic when much of your agriculture is based on being just at or below the level of the rivers and streams so that it can be flooded on purpose.  We are told that the government remitted the land-taxes and commuted taxes that year, likely as a form of disaster relief to those affected by the flooding. In 666, we are also told a story that actually links this reign to the previous.  We are told that a monk, named Chiyu, gave the sovereign something called a south-pointing chariot.  I'll talk about what this was in another episode.  What's important here is to note that there was a previous entry in the era attributed to Saimei Tennou, aka Takara Hime, where a monk named Chiyu, or something similar, using different characters, also created a south-pointing chariot.  Likewise, we are later told in this reign how Naka no Oe installed a clepsydra, a water clock.  This is also mentioned in the previous reign.  It is possible that these reference completely different accounts.  Or they could be connected in some way. The south-pointing chariot is probably not something that we'll have evidence of, as it would have been mobile and probably deteriorated over time.  However, the water clock would have been a fixed installation with some clear architectural remnants, and indeed we think we know where at least one was built in Asuka.  Both of the water clock entries say that it was the “first” time, so make of that what you will. Also in 666, we see that some 2000 people of Baekje were settled in the East, possibly meaning the Kanto region, though this could be anywhere between modern Nagoya out to the far eastern edge of Honshu.  They were maintained at the government expense for three years, after which they were expected to have built new lives for themselves. In later periods, there is much to be said about “Men of the East”.  There are those that point to this region as being the origin point of many of the warrior traditions that would arise and become the military samurai.  Some of the weapons and fighting styles, especially some of the horse-riding archery seems to point to continental influences that made their way to the Kanto region and beyond.  One has to consider just how much did they bring with them and how did it grow, often beyond the view of the court and the court chronicles.  For now, though, it seems to have largely been a form of a refugee program, since the Baekje no longer had a kingdom to return to. Finally, we have an omen.  In the winter of 666, the rats of the capital, in Asuka, headed north to Afumi.  As with previous entries about rats departing a capital for a direction, this is again meant as an omen.  It probably didn't happen.  But it does foreshadow an account in the following year, when, on the 19th day of the 3rd month, the capital, surprise-surprise, moved to Afumi. And perhaps I shouldn't be flippant.  It was a surprise to have the capital move to Afumi.  There are accounts of legendary sovereigns that had their palace outside of the Nara Basin or Kawachi area, but at this point Yamato had been really building up those areas.  So why would they suddenly relocate to Afumi, of all places? Well, probably because of the same thing that had been driving the rest of their large-scale building projects during this period—from the Water Castle protecting the Dazai to the various Baekje style fortresses from Tsushima down to the Nara Basin.  Afumi was a naturally defensive position.  And in such an uncertain time, having a well-defended capital must have seen like a very good idea.  In fact, though they didn't formally change the capital until the 3rd month of 667, they probably had started work on it as soon as they got back from the loss at Hakusukinoe. As far as locations go, it wasn't necessarily a bad choice.  There were still routes to the port at Naniwa, which could still house various delegations when they arrived.  There were also routes to the east, leading to Owari and the rest of central and eastern Honshu, as well as mountain passes to get to the Japan Sea.  The area where the new palace was located was in the district of Ohotsu.  Ohotsu means something like “Big Port” and I don't know if it was already a major port along the banks of Lake Biwa or if that was a name that came from having the capital there.  Ohotsu was a long-inhabited area, even well before the 660's, and an important site for trade.  In the southern end of modern Ohotsu city is Ishiyama-dera, the stone mountain temple, it which was built in the 8th century, but in front of the temple are the remains of the largest freshwater shellmound in Asia.  As you may recall from some of our earliest episodes talking about the prehistoric period in the Japanese archipelago, shell mounds are typically evidence of ancient settlements, remnants of dump sites where they could throw their detritus.  This probably included a lot more than just shells, but shells, bones, and sometimes things like pottery sherds, would remain.  And while much of the wood and waste of the period would have disintegrated over time, shells do not.    These shell mounds accordingly provide important insight into the lives of people back in that day, and the size can also help us understand things about how large a settlement might have been or how long it was there.  The sheer size of the shellmound at Ishiyama-dera likely indicates that the region had been settled for many centuries prior to the 600's. In addition to the shellmound, and more closely related to the current times we are discussing, is evidence of a rock quarry found at the temple site and showing evidence of techniques familiar to people of the 6th to 8th centuries. You see, Ishiyama is a source of a particular white stone called wollastonite.  The quarry sits below the main hall of the temple, and so it probably would not have been quarried after the hall was built, which was in the 700s, so the site is believed to have been active before that.  From the composition of the stone and the markings on the remnants, we can see similarities to stones in the base of one of the buildings at Kawaradera, in Asuka, which we've talked about before and which was one of the pre-eminent temples of its day.  So this demonstrates a link between the region and the court even before the construction of the new Ohotsu palace. Speaking of the palace, we've known of its exact position since 1974,  when archeologists found evidence of the foundation of a large complex in a residential district in Nishikori.  While some initially suggested it was an old temple, further evidence makes it pretty clear that it was the dairi, or inner sanctum, of a palace.  This is very much in the same mould as the Toyosaki Palace in Naniwa and the various palaces in Asuka from around the same period.  In front of the dairi would have been the actual government buildings, but that area has not been excavated. That brings up another question: was this a full-on capital city, Ohotsu-kyo, or just a palace, the Ohotsu-no-miya?  So far we have only found the palace, But since the area is fairly built up, it may take time to find more, assuming it hasn't been destroyed by previous urban development in the area.  There are some hints that there was more: while there were already at a couple of temples that had been built by the mid-7th century, we see several temples built in ways that not only borrow features from important Asuka temples, like the layout of Kawaradera, but they also match the alignment of the Otsu palace ruins, hinting that they were built at the same time.  For example, there is are the ruins of an abandoned temple in Shiga-Minami – actually once thought to have been the Otsu palace. There was also Soufukuji, a temple in the mountains nearby meant to protect the Northwest from malign influences, likely based on continental geomantic concepts, part of what we might today think of as Feng Shui. This same kind of protective temple building is what we see in later capital cities. Of course, we know that this would not be a permanent capital for the nation of Yamato or of Japan—we aren't that far off from the Nara period, and then, a century later, the capital at Heian-kyo.  But that couldn't have been known at the time.  There was no way to know how long tensions with the continent would last, and it was just as possible that people at the time expected this to be a permanent move.  Its preeminence lasted, too: we do have evidence that even centuries later, the region was still known as an ancient “capital”. No matter what Naka no Oe's intentions were in moving the capital to Afumi, however, it didn't exactly go over well.  It was apparently quite unpopular—so unpopular that the move was mocked in song of the time.  That said, Naka no Oe's mind was made up, and the move took place regardless.     Before moving the capital, however, there was still business to attend to.  Takara Hime and Princess Hashibito were reinterred together in the Misasagi on Wochi Hill.  We are told that men of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla all mourned along the processional route.  The Crown Prince—I'm assuming Naka no Oe, this time given his connection to both of these women—apparently had started the work on a stone sarcophagus.  By this was probably meant the actual stone vault of the tomb, rather than just the coffin, which was also likely made of stone.  This was in Kuramaki, in Takatori, in the Takaichi District of the Nara Basin. Three months after the move to the new capital, the district of Kadono, in the west of modern Kyoto, presented to the sovereign a white swallow—an omen of some sort. The following month, on the 11th day of the 7th month, Tamna sent another embassy, led by a Minister known as Cheonma, with presents for Yamato.  This may have been the first envoy to actually visit the new Ohotsu capital, but certainly not the last. Cheonma stuck around for a few months.  In the intercalary 11th month, which is to say the extra 11th month of 667, inserted to keep the lunar and solar calendars at least partially aligned, Cheonma and his companions were presented with brocade and other cloth, as well as axes, sickles, and swords, presumably to take home to Tamna. While Cheonma was at the court, there was apparently another bit of diplomatic ping-pong going on.  Liu Jenyuan, the Tang general in charge of Baekje, sent Szema Facong and others to escort Sakahibe no Iwashiki and those with him to the Dazai in Tsukushi.  They didn't stay long, though—we are told they arrived on the 9th day of the 11th month and left only 4 days later, on the 13th day of the same.  When they left, however, they, themselves, were given escorts of Yuki no Muraji no Hakatoko—the same one whose memoirs we relied on for that previous trip to the Tang court—as well as Kaso no Omi no Moroshi.  So I guess they were escorting the escorts?  At what point does it end?  Hakatoko and others made it back about three months later, on the 23rd day of the first month of 668, and reported on their own escort mission.  That suggests that they didn't escort them that far.  They may have just seen them back to the Korean peninsula and that was it. Hakatoko's escort mission did mean that he missed a rather important event—the Crown Prince assuming the dignity.  That is to say, Naka no Oe finally took the title of sovereign.  A note in the text suggests that there were other sources that said it was the third month of the previous year—the same time that the Otsu capital was built.  Four days later they held a banquet in the palace for all of the court ministers. A little over a month later, his wife, Yamato bime, was appointed queen.  We are then told of his other wives and consorts. To be clear, Naka no Oe had been collecting consorts for ages.  So let's talk about a few of them. To start with there was Yamatobime, the Yamato Princess, daughter of none other than Naka no Oe's half-brother, Prince Furubito no Oe, his former rival to the throne. Then there was Wochi no Iratsume, aka Princess Miyatsuko, the daughter of Soga no Kurayamada no Ishikawa Maro.  She had a son, Prince Takeru, who died in 651 at the age of 8.  That suggests that she and Naka no Oe had been together since at least 643, two years before the Isshi Incident.  Another one of her daughters, Princess Uno, would go on to marry Naka no Oe's younger brother, Prince Ohoama, the new Crown Prince. Wochi no Iratsume seems to have died of grief in 649, after her father and much of her family were destroyed on the orders of her husband, Naka no Oe.  We are told that Naka no Oe also married Wochi no Iratsume's younger sister as well, Mehi no Iratsume.  She had two daughters, Princess Minabe and Princess Abe.  At this point Abe was only about 7 or 8 years old, herself, but she would eventually be married to Prince Kusakabe, the son of Prince Ohoama and Princess Uno, whom we just mentioned. Naka no Oe also had two other consorts.  Tachibana no Iratsume was the daughter of Abe no Kurahashi no Maro no Oho-omi—he was the first Sadaijin, or Minister of the Left, at the start of the Taika reforms, immediately following the Isshi Incident.  And then there was Hitachi no Iratsume, the daughter of Soga no Akaye. Soga no Akaye is an interesting figure.  You may recall the name from Episode 118.  Soga no Akaye was the acting minister in charge in Yamato when Prince Arima tried to start up a revolt against Takara Hime.  It was in his house where Prince Arima laid out his plan, but a broken armrest convinced Soga no Akaye to turn against the conspirators and turn them in.  And so it is interesting to hear that his daughter was married to Naka no Oe. We are also told of four “palace women” that Naka no Oe is said to have had children with.  The implication seems to be that these were women at the palace but they were not formally recognized with the same status as that of the formal consorts and, of course, the queen, his primary wife.  This fits in with at least one theory I've seen that Naka no Oe was something of a ladies' man.  It seems he got around even more than Murasaki Shikibu's fictional “Shining Prince”, Hikaru Genji.  We are told that there were at least 14 children among the nine official wives—and one has to consider that they were unlikely to record many of the women whom he may have slept with that he didn't also have children with.  And there is a theory that one of those not mentioned, may have been his own sister, full blooded sister.  Specifically, his sister Princess Hashibito, who was married to none other than Naka no Oe's uncle, Prince Karu, aka Jomei Tennou. To be clear:  we have no clear evidence that they were anything other than close siblings, but as you may recall how we mentioned back in Episode 114 that there was something that caused a falling out between Prince Karu and Naka no Oe, such that Naka no Oe disobeyed the sovereign's direct order in moving himself and the royal family back to Asuka.  That meant Naka no Oe, his wives, his mother, AND his sister, Princess—now Queen—Hashibito.  So, yeah, he absconded with Prince Karu's wife who was Naka no Oe's full-blooded sister.  And, as we've noted before, ancient Yamato's concept of incest was pretty narrow.  It was only if you had the same mother that you were considered full siblings—even if the father were someone else.  I suspect that this is related to the matrilineal nature of succession as well, which is why it was so important to insist that the ancient sovereigns had a direct lineal connection to the royal line through their mother as much as through their father. So if Naka no Oe and his sister were having any kind of relationship that was considered wrong or scandalous, then that could also help explain why he didn't take the throne sooner, and why it passed over to his mother.  But now, both Takara Hime and Hashibito were quite literally dead and buried, and Naka no Oe had ascended to the throne. Of the so-called “Palace Women” that  are listed as being likewise married to—or at least in a relationship with—Naka no Oe, I'd like to focus on one:  Iga no Uneme no Yakako.  For one, she is specifically mentioned as an uneme—one of the women sent to the court specifically to serve in the palace.  But her parentage isn't further illuminated other than the name “Iga” which is probably a locative, possibly referring to the area of Iga. This is also interesting because we are also told that she gave birth to a son named Prince Iga, also known as Prince Ohotomo.  Despite his mother's apparently unremarkable status, Prince Ohotomo seems to have been quite the apple of his father's eye.  He was born in 648, so in 668 he was about 20 years old, meaning that around this time he was probably just coming into his own at court.  He was married to his cousin, Princess Touchi, daughter of his uncle, Crown Prince Ohoama.  He was also married to Mimotoji, who appears to have been a daughter of Nakatomi no Kamatari, meaning that he was pretty well connected. But we'll get into that in a future episode.  For now, I think we'll leave it here: with the move of the capital to Ohotsu and the formal ascension of Naka no Oe to the throne. We'll talk about what that might mean in the future.  Until then, thank you once again for listening and for all of your support.

“A groom can't necessarily win you a medal, but they can certainly lose you one.” These are the words of our guest today: Lucy Katan, founder of both the British and International Grooms Associations.And that quote says it all — grooms are absolutely essential in the day-to-day running of a stable. Having worked as a groom myself, I know firsthand how demanding, yet deeply rewarding, this job can be. Grooms are often the horse's closest companion, ensuring their wellbeing no matter the weather, the season, or the pressure of competition. They are the quiet force behind the scenes that helps riders shine. In short: what would we do without them?Yet despite their importance, this role has long remained invisible — leading to precarious work conditions and lack of recognition. That began to change when Lucy decided to speak up in 2007, determined to give a voice to those who had none.Thanks to her efforts, and her vision of a more respectful and professional equestrian world, thousands of grooms have now joined the British Grooms Association — and since 2022, the International Grooms Association has been growing steadily too.In this interview, Lucy shares the behind-the-scenes story of how these landmark organizations came to be, the challenges she's faced along the way, her advice for grooms and stables alike, and her mission to create safer, fairer working environments — all with warmth, insight and contagious energy.As always, if you enjoy this episode, feel free to leave a rating, a comment, or share it with your friends.

In this episode, we highlight vitamin D₃ in gastrointestinal health, with a focus on intestinal barrier function and the gut-immune axis. We discuss how vitamin D is metabolized into its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and how 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D can support the intestinal mucosa, while highlighting the intestinal epithelium and immune cells in the lamina propria. Through this, we further detail the role of regulatory T cells in supporting immune balance and modulating immune function.Topics:1. Introduction - Highlighting intestinal barrier function and the gut-immune axis with a focus on vitamin D₃ 2. Vitamin D Synthesis and Metabolism - Skin and 7-dehydrocholesterol; dietary intake.- Transported through the bloodstream bound to vitamin D binding protein.- First hydroxylation in the liver to form 25-hydroxyvitamin D₃ (25(OH)D₃).- Testing.- Second hydroxylation in the kidney to form the active 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D₃ (1,25(OH)₂D₃).- Local activation also occurs. 3. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy - The intestinal epithelium forms a selectively permeable monolayer that interfaces with the gut lumen.- Covered by a mucus layer: mucins, antimicrobial peptides, secretory IgA.- Mucus layer provides physical and biochemical protection.- Tight junction proteins and paracellular permeability.- Molecules crossing the epithelium. - Disruption of tight junctions, immune cell exposure to luminal contents.- The lamina propria and Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT). - Maintaining tolerance while defending against pathogens.  4. Vitamin D's Role in Barrier Support and Immune Modulation - 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃, tight junction integrity, immune regulation, and more.- Regulatory T Cells (Tregs) and immune balance.   5. Vitamin D₂ and D₃- D₃ (cholecalciferol) is more biologically effective and binds DBP more strongly.  6. Vitamin D Levels - Levels observed in autoimmune conditions, IBS, and more.- Symptoms.- Insufficient and excessive levels of vitamin D can be detrimental.- Multi-system.  7. Conclusion - Multifactorial: Numerous factors regulate vitamin D levels.- Gastrointestinal health root cause approach.Thanks for tuning in!Get Chloe's Book Today!

122: In today's episode, we are going to talk about preparing the gut for probiotics. A lot of people don't realize that we have to prepare and strengthen the gut before it's ready for probiotics, which I talk about a lot in my new book The Herbal Dog. Strengthening the glycocalyx and IGA builds a resistant gut barrier before introducing probiotics. This is especially true in sensitive or immune compromised individuals. Strengthening these allows for commensal bacteria, which is good bacteria, can actually stick to the gut wall. Tune in to learn how natural remedies can help strengthen your dog's gut, making it the perfect environment for probiotics to thrive and support their overall health.

It's time for The Truth!Today, Sam and Dougie are looking at Alexander Isak, who is hot property right now after another stellar campaign with Newcastle United, which culminated in him firing them to Carabao Cup glory at Wembley on Sunday against Liverpool. Newcastle are absolutely adamant that their Swedish superstar is going nowhere - and so they should be - but that hasn't stopped the rumour mill going into overdrive about clubs interested in prying him away from Tyneside this summer. So we dig into the numbers, take a look at Newcastle's financial position, examine the words of the people in the know about their business model, and try to work out whether this is bluster or something more concrete. We also explore possible destinations for if Newcastle decided that they were going to cash in on their most profitable asset, talking about how Isak would fit at both Liverpool and Arsenal - who are both reported to be very interested - and some alternate options on the continent as well. So, will Alexander Isak continue to spearhead the Geordie renaissance as they work their way up the table? Or will his value, a big offer, and a desire to build out the squad mean that he will be playing football elsewhere next year? Well, The Truth is somewhere in the middle...

“When we think about sustainable living, it's not just about electricity. Energy encompasses more than electricity. As we advocate for sustainability and net zero, let's not forget the heating and cooling of our homes, businesses, and industries - geothermal is a direct resource for that.” Dr. Marit Brommer on Electric Ladies Podcast Drilling for geothermal energy - the heat beneath our feet - promises to be one of the most sustainable sources of energy and a game changer for the clean energy transition. One of the biggest opportunities lies right here in the U.S., where we have the largest installed capacity for geothermal electricity generation. Reflecting the tremendous potential of this energy source, $31 million in funding was announced for geothermal energy projects in late-2024, subject to evolving federal funding guidelines.  Listen to Dr. Marit Brommer, CEO of the International Geothermal Association (IGA) and a geologist and expert in geothermal energy. Prior to joining the IGA, she was an exploration and production technologist at Shell and Total Energy.   You'll hear about: What geothermal energy is, its applications, and its potential to be a significant player in the transition to a net-zero emissions economy.  Role of the International Geothermal Association in guiding the proper management of geothermal energy projects.  Effective policies to support geothermal development are essential to overcome the initial financial and technical risks.  Why the connection between geothermal energy and lithium production is an interesting proposition for the sector.  Plus, career advice about claiming your space.  "Get your voice heard, claim your seat at that table and understand that you don't take no for an answer. No man has ever asked me how to land his next job, get to the next career point, or do something professionally - but women do.   “The point is, we women are ultimately raised to be nice. There's nothing wrong with being nice, but in your professional life, it's equally important to stand up, know your worth, not shy away from that, claim your seat, prepare, and network.” Dr. Marit Brommer on Electric Ladies Podcast Read Joan's Forbes piece on New IRA Funding Available For Geothermal Energy - Learning From Iceland and more articles here.  You'll also like:  Jennifer Granholm, 16th U.S. Secretary of Energy, on how the clean energy transition is driving record-breaking economic growth across the country.

IgA nephropathy is a rare autoimmune kidney disease that can lead to the loss of kidney function. Though a number of treatment options exist today, none address the root cause of the disease and instead seek to manage symptoms, slow progression, or prevent complications. Vera Therapeutics' experimental fusion protein atacicept, in a phase 2B study, showed the ability to provide long-term kidney function stabilization. We spoke to Marshall Fordyce, founder and CEO of Vera Therapeutics, about IgA nephropathy, atacicept, and its potential in other B cell-mediated diseases.

Episode 184: Multiple Myeloma BasicsSub-Interns and future Drs. Di Tran and Jessica Avila explain the symptoms, work up and treatment of multiple myeloma. Written by Di Tran, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine; Xiyuan Yang, MSIV, American University of the Caribbean. Comments by Jessica Avila, MSIV, American University of the Caribbean. Edits by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Di: Hi everyone, this is Di Tran, 4th year medical student from Ross university.  It's a pleasure to be back.  To be honest, this project is a part of teamwork of two medical students, myself and another 4th year, her name is XiYuan.  She came from the AUC. Unfortunately, due to personal matters she was unable to make it to the recording today which makes me feel really sad. Jessica: My name is Jessica Avila, MSIV, American University of the Caribbean.Di: The topic we will present today is Multiple Myeloma. Multiple myeloma is typically a rare disease and it's actually a type of blood cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow.Jessica: Let's start with a case: A 66-year-old male comes to his family doctor for an annual health checkup. He is not in any acute distress but he reports that he has been feeling tired and weaker than usual for the last 3 months. He also noticed that he tends to bruise easily. He has a history of arthritis and chronic joint pain, but he thinks his back pain has gotten worse in the last couple of months. Upon checking his lab values, his family doctor found that he has a calcium level of 10.8 and a creatinine level of 1.2, which has increased from his baseline. Given all that information, what do you think his family doctor is suspecting? And what kind of tests she can order for further evaluation?Di: Those symptoms sound awfully familiar – are we talking about the CRAB? You know, the diagnostic criteria for Multiple Myeloma.Jessica: Exactly! Those are called “myeloma-defining events.” Do you remember what those are?Di: CRAB criteria comes in 4 flavors.  It's HYPERCALCEMIA with >1mg/dL, RENAL INSUFFICIENCY with serum creatinine >2mg/dL, ANEMIA with hemoglobin value 10% plasma cells, PLUS any one or more of the CRAB features, we can make the official diagnosis of multiple myeloma. Di:  Before we go deeper, let's back up a little bit and do a little background.  So, what do we know about the immunoglobulins, also known as antibodies? Back from years of studying from medical school, we know that the plasma cells are the ones that producing the antibodies that help fight infections.  There  are various kinds that come with various functions.  Each antibody is made up of 2 heavy chains and 2 light chains.  For heavy chains, we have A, D, E, G, M and for light chains we have Kappa and Lambda.Jessica: Usually, the 5 possible types of immunoglobulins for heavy chains would be written as IgG, IgA, IgD, IgE, and IgM.  And the most common type in the bloodstream is nonetheless the IgG. Di: What is multiple myeloma? In myeloma, all the abnormal plasma cells make the same type of antibody, the monoclonal antibody.  The cause of myeloma is unknown, but there are lots of studies and evidence that show a number of potential etiologies, including viral, genetic, and exposure to toxic chemicals, especially the Agent Orange, which is a chemical used as herbicide and defoliant. It was used as a chemical warfare by the U.S. military during the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1971.Jessica: We need to order some specific blood tests to see if there is elevated monoclonal proteins in the blood or urine. So, to begin with we'll need to take a very thorough history and physical exam. Next, we'll do labs, such as CBC, basic metabolic panel, calcium, serum beta-2 microglobulin, LDH, total protein, and some not so common tests: serum protein electrophoresis (SPEP), immunofixation of blood or urine (IFE), quantitative immunoglobulins (QIg), serum free light chain assay, and serum heavy/light chain ratio assay.If any of the results is abnormal, we should consider referring our patient to an oncologist.Di: Interesting! I read that Multiple Myeloma symptoms vary in different patients.  In fact, about 10-20% of patients with newly diagnosed myeloma do not have any symptoms at all.   Otherwise, classic symptomatic presentations are weakness, fatigue, increased bruising under the skin, reduced urine output, weakened bones that is likely prone to fractures, etc. And if multiple myeloma is highly suspected, a Bone Marrow biopsy should be done with testing for flow cytometry and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH). Actually, if any of the “Biomarkers of malignancy (SLIM)” is met we can also diagnose multiple myeloma even without the CRAB criteria. Jessica: The diagnosis is made if one or more of the following is found: >= 60% of clonal plasma cells on bone marrow biopsy, > 1 lytic bone lesion on MRI that is at least 5mm in size, or a biopsy confirmed plasmacytoma. Di: Imaging comes in at the final step especially if we able to find one or more sites of osteolytic bone destruction > 5mm on an MRI scan.Jessica: What if the bone marrow biopsy returns > 10% of monoclonal plasma cells, but our patient doesn't have either the CRAB or the Biomarker criteria? Di: That's actually a very good question, since Multiple Myeloma is part of a spectrum of plasma cell disorders. That's when smoldering myeloma comes into play. It is a precursor of active multiple myeloma. Smoldering myeloma is further categorized as high-risk or low-risk based on specific criteria.A less severe form is called Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance, or simply MGUS, with < 10% bone marrow involvement. Those are diagnoses we give once we rule out actual multiple myeloma, which are defined by the amount of M-protein in the serum.Jessica:  When to get started on treatment? Multiple Myeloma is on a spectrum of plasma cells proliferative disorders, starting from MGUS to Smoldering Myeloma, to Multiple Myeloma and to  Plasma Cell Leukemia.  Close supervision/active watching is enough for MGUS and low risk Smoldering Myeloma. But once it has progressed to high-risk smoldering myeloma or to active Multiple Myeloma, chemotherapy is usually required. Some situations may require emergent treatment to improve renal function, reduce hypercalcemia, and to prevent potential infections.Di: As of 2024, treatment of Multiple Myeloma comprises the Standard-of-Care approved by the FDA. In fact, the quadruple therapy is a combination of 4 different class of drugs that include a monoclonal antibody, a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory drug, and a steroid. Jessica: They are Darzalex (daratumumab), Velcade (bortezomib), Revlimid (lenalidomide) and dexamethasone.  Other treatment plans for Multiple Myeloma include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy (for plasmacytomas) and stem cell transplants. The patient will also be on prophylaxis acyclovir and Bactrim while on chemotherapy. Sometimes anticoagulants are also considered because the chemo increases the risk of venous thromboembolic events.Di: Although the disease is incurable, but with the advancing of novel therapies and clinical trials patients with multiple myeloma are able to live longer.  Problem is the majority of patients diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma are older adults (>65), the risk of falling is adding to multiple complications of the disease itself, such as bone density loss, pain, neurological compromises, distress and weakness.  Palliative care may come in help at any point in time throughout the course of treatment but is most often needed at the very end of the course. Jessica, can you give us a conclusion for this episode?Jessica: Multiple Myeloma may not be the most common cancer, but we have to be aware of the symptoms and keep it in our differential diagnosis for patients with bone pain, easy bruising, persistent severe headaches, unexplained renal dysfunction, and remember the CRAB: HyperCalcemia, Renal impairment, Anemia and Bone lesions.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.
