In episode 189 of The Just Checking In Podcast we checked in with Jennifer Jordan. Jennifer is a Freelance Digital PR Manager and lives with a female health condition called Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder(PMDD). PMDD is a rare form of Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) which causes a range of emotional and physical symptoms every month during the week or two before a woman's period. PMDD usually occurs during the luteal phase of a woman's menstrual cycle. In this episode we discuss Jennifer's childhood as an only child and how she navigated periods of loneliness in school. We also discuss abandonment and attachment issues she's had to deal with from growing up in a single-parent household and not knowing her biological father from birth. We finish by discussing body image issues and self-harm behaviours she experienced as a teenager and in her early 20's, the grief she experienced from losing her grandparents and a deep dive into her experience of PMDD.

Bestselling true crime writers Liza Rodman and Jennifer Jordan, authors of "The Babysitter: My Summers with a Serial Killer," join "Mind Over Murder" podcast hosts Bill Thomas and Kristin Dilley to discuss how we find the truth in true crime.

How do we find truth? Jumping off from a recent Op-Ed by Sarah Weinman in the New York Times, join us for a fascinating conversation.

Plenty of regions come to mind when talking about hop-growing regions: the Pacific Northwest, Hallertau, Lubin, etc. But what about regions that have come and gone, the former hop-growing regions? Jennifer Jordan is in the process of researching her new book and joins the show to share some of the stories she has uncovered. She is a professor of Sociology at The University of Wisconsin Milwaukee. She is the author of Edible Memory: The Lure of Heirloom Tomatoes and Other Forgotten Foods (University of Chicago Press, 2015) and Structures of Memory: Understanding Urban Change in Berlin and Beyond (Stanford University Press, 2006). Her current manuscript is titled Before Craft Beer: Lost Landscape of Forgotten Hops, which explores the boom and bust of hop growing in Wisconsin during the 1800s. She shares stories of the women who harvested the hops, what was involved in the hop bust, and other accounts from old diaries.

And today, I'm so honored to be joined by a therapist and a colleague, Jennifer Jordan. We talk a little bit about spiritual abuse and its impacts, so, uh, link in notes to get ahold of her bio and find out how you can hear more from her. Just so honored to have this conversation. Yeah. It's, it's really good to be with you. You know, I got, I got to know Jen a little bit. Do you prefer Jen or Jennifer?Okay. I got to know you a little bit through our, when we intersected at a training course at the Lander Center, and we were in the same group, and I was like, oh, I like that woman. Um, I loved your vulnerability, your skill as a facilitator. I trusted you, and then just who you emanated as a person. And so it feels really like an honor to get to talk with you in this space, like on a podcast. So thank you for coming.Jennifer (01:44):Yeah. I'm so glad to be here and like, echo everything you're saying, like it feels really fun and exciting and like, um, uh, an honor to get to have this conversation. Mm-hmm. , you know, outside of the context that I've known you previously, so.Danielle (02:00):Right. Um, you know, like, I don't know if you're familiar with my pod, with our podcast, but, um, Maggie is on a break right now, like doing grad school and doing other things. But a lot of what we've noticed since the pandemic and since we've started talking on the podcast is how much spiritual abuse has been highlighted. Of course, prior to even, I think that awareness was the me Too movement, and then just patriarchy just seems like dripping every, like in all the systems we operate in mm-hmm. . And so yeah. As a clinician, as a therapist, like, before we jump into that, just love to hear like, what are you doing, where are you located, and what are your passions around serving, uh, people?Jennifer (02:49):Yeah, so I'm in Mobile, Alabama, down in the south, um, working as a therapist.

But, um, really, really passionate. Um, my, my, my practice is called Reclamation Counseling. I feel super passionate about helping people to reclaim, um, what's been taken. Um, whether that's, um, their, their bodies, right, their voices, um, or just their stories have kind of been co-opted into a larger narrative, um, that, that removes their personhood and their individuality, um, and their culture. Um, I think that that's, that's my passion. I think it comes out in different ways, um, depending on the type of, uh, client that I'm working with. But, um, that's what I'm, that's what I'm about. And, and it's a major, it's a major thing for me. It's a big deal for me because that's been so much of my story. Um, and so, yeah, that, that's where I'm at. That's what I do. It's what I'm about.Danielle (04:02):I love that idea though. Like reclaiming, I think you said bodies and stories mm-hmm. . So when you think about that reclaiming process, like what do you see happening for clients or people you work with or maybe in your own life, if you can just speak to that a little bit.Jennifer (04:20):Yeah. So there's so much overlap there certainly, um, but overlap in terms of, um, like what I see happening with my clients and then what I see happening with myself. Um, but, you know, at the root, um, like naming the truth of the stories, the stories of both our personal individual lives within our families of origin, but then also, um, the larger narrative, like the stories of our ancestors, the stories of the culture that we come from, um, and, and as we piece together the truth of those stories, um, and, and, and the ways that, um, buying into, um, falsified stories, um, have cost us, um, that process of reclamation can begin. Um, and so, you know, you talk about spiritual abuse and patriarchy and pure culture and, um, and, and, you know, white supremacists, like all these things are so overlaid and so, um, so connected. But, um, so much of my process has been, um, like naming these multiple layers, these multiple layers of harm, um, that have like, been the building blocks on which my particular stories of harm have have been laid. And so, um, yeah, pulling the stories apart, naming the, naming the truth of the stories and then, um, like what, what has buying into, um, the, the, the false narrative of somebody else cost me? And what do I wanna take back as my own?Danielle (06:00):Hmm. Oh, when you think about that, like take back as your own and, and the intersection between, you know, you named a lot of layers. Yeah. Um, would you be able to speak a little more particularly to patriarchy and spiritual abuse?Jennifer (06:14):Yeah. So, um, you know, I, um, sharing some of my story, um, that, that's kind of the lens that I, I typically think through. Uh, I think we all do that, but, um, it's, it's what I'm most expert in, I guess. Um, uh, you know, if I think that this is true within many, um, evangelical circles, I think that being in the south, being raised in the deep south, um, in soybean fields on a farm, um, there's, there's an added layer to this, but, um, so much of what it means to be a good, good Christian girl, um, is to be, uh, what the, the system of patriarchy demands, um, of, of a female child. And, and so, um, you know, I learned at a very early age what was, what was, uh, most well received by the men, um, in my family, um, which was also kind of the spiritual context that I was raised in.Um, and so I, I became really expert at doing that. And in that lost a lot of my voice, uh, lost a lot of my body, um, and also like gained some things that I've had to lay down. Um, and so yeah, it, it's been, I mean, there's, so, I mean, even as I'm starting to kind of name the reality, right? I feel the weight of the layers and I feel the just memories coming back and, um, uh, just, just the reality that it's been, been a process of kind of crawling out of a hole. And, um, I think for many of us who have, who have had that experience of, um, like our, our, our position and existence as a female wedded within, um, patriarchal spiritual systems, um, and then you put like the, the intricacies of like how white supremacy connects into that. Um, it, it is like there are layers and layers and layers and layers and layers to kind of dig out of. And so, um, I feel that even as I'm starting to name some of those truths,Danielle (08:28):Right? And I hear in what you're saying that you're able to hold or talk about, like, yeah, I, I lost these things, and and maybe you can say exactly what, even if it's general, what you, what a person tends to lose in that group. Yeah. And then I also gained some things. Yeah.Jennifer (08:50):Yeah. So, you know, I i going to, going into what I lost, um, you know, there is a very, um, particular thing that happens to me even now as a, as a 35 year old adult, right? That I've, I've done so much work around and have fought to ground my body in the midst of, but there is something that happens when, um, a man who has positional or spiritual authority, um, speaks to me. And, um, it, it, I've described it as almost like a brainwashing, um, a Halloween out, um, a a robotic falling in line, um, and a pleasant expression. Um, and so, so in that, you know, there's the loss of, of my own response, um, my own, uh, choice to disagree or agree, um, my own emotion, um, because kind of having a big emotional response was not, not okay. Um, and also, um, just the, the reality of the truth that my body holds in those moments, um, it, it, there's no space for it.And so, yeah, learned from a very early age that that really needs to be set aside, which that in and of itself set me up for lots of other harm later down the road. Of course. Yeah. Um, but, but yeah, those are the things that it lost that I lost. But I think, you know, navigating what that gained me and my complicity within that, um, is, is a such a, like a concept that is so full of grief, um, and, and almost like it feels maddening to consider, but it, it, like we have to face it. Like I, as a southern white woman have to face that, right? Um, and so, um, it, it, it got me specialness, it got me preference and privilege mm-hmm. , um, it got me protection mm-hmm. , um, it got me, um, a voice even though it wasn't my own mm-hmm. . Um, I had, I had a space to exist where others didn't mm-hmm. , um, and it, it, and it got me the reputation of being, um, what I didn't wanna be and also what I wanted to be, which was, um, pure and preferred and desired. Um, and so there's a lot of complexity there, certainly, um, and a lot to grieve and, and much more to name, I'm sure. But those, those are some of the first thoughts I have.Danielle (11:31):It is kind of a miracle if anybody makes a 20 years of like, but when we got married, Luis, uh, came from Mexico on a fiance visa, and, um, he crossed, he was able to cross the border sooner than we thought because the visa came through so quickly, and then we had 90 days to get married. And so that 90 day window, we had scheduled our wedding for November, and I, it, we were out of the window for getting married. So the church wedding was in November. So he came up, we needed to get married, and the sooner we got married, then the sooner we could roll on the legal paperwork. Right. So we found a judge, the judge came to my parents' living room, and I remember telling him, like, and mind you, this is a guy not raised in purity culture, not raised in the strict evangelical setting. I was raised in telling him like, we can't have sex until we're married at the church because we're not married in front of God. And he's like, what? What do you mean? Like, ? Like, we're getting married. But I was like, no. Like, I'm convinced. So we got married in front of the judge, and I remember we got married, and I remember telling him like, I feel married. He's like, we're married.I had like kind of proclaimed my purity in a sense to friends and family, like, we're not gonna have sex until we're married at the church. Mm-hmm. , and I was praised for that. Mm-hmm. , like, we were admired for that. And I remember even one time my parents went outta town and Louis was living there, and I made him, I locked him out onto the front porch to like avoid the quote unquote appearance of evil.Wow. I just, as you know, 20 years came up. People are like, why do you have two wedding anniversaries? I'm like, actually, it's purity culture.Gosh. But I think of the status even I gained in my family, gained by me holding to some false narrative of what, what marriage actually meant mm-hmm. that somehow it wasn't in the sight of God because it was a judge. Mm-hmm. . And so I did gain access and privilege, and I think in the meantime, Luis was like, well, I really love this woman. Like, what are we doing? Yeah. I'm just gonna go along . But that, I mean, that story's been so present in my mind as you share, like, uh, they, I did hold a sense of pride in that time mm-hmm. mm-hmm. , look what I did like Yeah. Yeah. And was praised for it among friends and family, you know? Mm-hmm. . Mm-hmm.Jennifer (14:14):. Oh, yeah. Yes. I mean, look at how, yeah. And there's something of the, the holy struggle there too, right? That makes it even that much more admirable. Like, oh, we're, we're married, but we're not, actually, we're gonna, we're in a way, you know, there's, there's, yeah. That's complex. But yeah, I mean, I feel that, I feel that I feel, um,In a, in the, the system I was raised in, um, which was highly patriarchal, uh, my grandfather was Greek is Greek, um, but, but just high, high, highly patriarchal, um, kind of extended family system that I lived in the middle of. Um, and, and women had a few jobs, um, which was, you know, to safe in and cook good meals and, um, and, and don't have emotional outbursts. Um, and so in that, in that, that place, like I felt very invisible, right? And so to, to be really pure and really, um, good and what they needed me to be, um, felt like it got, it got some of the attention that I was so longing for. Um, so it's really, it's really quite a trap, um, to be in the middle ofOh, that's a great question. Um, and a complex question because I think the truth of the answer to that question is that I was really good. I was really good at being what everybody wanted me to be, um, really, really good at it. Um, and even in, in places where I wasn't so good at it, I was really good at hiding. Um, so I, I kept the appearance of, um, of, of, of what everybody wanted, um, and, and, uh, and it, it enabled me to survive, but also, um, caused my death in many ways. SoDanielle (16:24):Yeah. There's something about that type of survival where you have to kill off who God created you to be. Mm-hmm. that, and I'm not saying the survival is unholy, but what's required of us to survive in the system is an unholiness mm-hmm. in a system that's proclaiming Yes. This is the way to be more holy. Right?Jennifer (16:49):Yeah. Yeah. I mean it, I mean, try, I'm trying to put word more words around that, and it, I just feel kind of the madness of it, right? Like the madness of to exist here and belong here, I need to be a certain thing. Um, and yet to be that certain thing means that I, I have to forsake and kill off so much of, of like the truth of who I am, and so either I'm cast out or I'm, um, or I'm being a fraud to stay. Um, and so it, it's, it's a, it's a bind.Danielle (17:24):Mm-hmm. when you feel that bind, I think there's always, like, you know, as therapist, we like talk about, like, let's highlight the bind. Yeah. And sometimes I'm like, well, what good is that? Yeah. Thanks for intensifying it, but like, how the heck do we get out? Or how the heck is this made Right. Or redeemed? And just curious, like, where does your mind go? Not that you have the answer and need to have the answer, but how do you meander through that for yourself or for clients?Jennifer (17:55):Dude, I mean, I think the, the first thing that comes to mind is just, um, like being willing to feel the grief of, of the unspeakable bind that, that, that position is. Um, and, and I think the grief brings us softness, um, that enables us to, um, feel our hearts again, , if, if that makes sense. Because I, I think that there's so much hardness required, um, to exist in that bind. And so I think that grief brings us softness that then allows us to face the truth a bit more, a bit more realistically. And then I think that, that if we are in a system that requires that of us, um, like we have to, we have to make the hard choice to face our complicity, and we have to make the hard choice to, to, to crawl our way out of that. And I know in my experience, like that has not been pretty, and that has not been easy. Um, but I think that, I think that like we have a, we know we see the truth, like we have to do something with it.Yeah. Absolutely. I mean, I think hardening and I think like, um, just in existence, that that hollow is the, the best word to describe it, um, in existence, that that looks, looks pretty good, looks really good to people within the system. Um, but I think internally, um, like there, there are places within us that know that it's not, it's not real. It's not, it's not full, it's not authentic. Um, so yeah.Danielle (19:53):Yeah. I love that way. You talk about it like, first entering the grief, being willing to grieve both the ways we've been complicit in the ways we've been harmed and like that feeling. I think what I heard you say is what brings kind of that alignment mm-hmm. for our heart back online. Mm-hmm. , I just think it's like so crazy to me that in order to acquire belonging or acquire acceptance, we actually have to deny who God created us to be. Mm-hmm. .Jennifer (20:26):I agree. And it makes you question like, okay, if that's what's happening here right then, then what is, this is what's the good in this,Like, if, if we're all created uniquely in the image of God and, and the mission is that we would be more in alignment with that and be, be bringing God's kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven. Like if that's, if that's the goal and this, this system and structure, um, that is coded in spiritual candy, um, if you will, like, if it's requiring us to set aside those particularities to who we are, um, you know, I, you have to question like, Craig, what's the intent here? And I think the truth is a lot of the intent is like to hold power and supremacy. It's not to really do the, do the, the mission quote unquote mission of Jesus.Danielle (21:28):Right. Then I come to like, well, is that faith or religion or a cult or what's going on here? Because, because when I look back I'm like, well, well the, like, I can't deny what I read in the Bible. I can't deny what I felt Jesus. And yet I can say that where I was at was harming so many other people. Mm-hmm. , including myself., and how do I make sense of that? How do I make sense of learning about Jesus, learning about God learning, like, I'll just never forget, like around the whole abortion issue, the whole thing is like you're fearfully and wonderfully made mm-hmm. , and yet they don't want what God fearfully and wonderfully made once you're born and thinking and moving.So then I'm like, well, what, what? Like, what was I really was that Yeah.Jennifer (22:16):Yeah. I feel that intensely. And I think, um, I don't, you know, the question remains because it is, it is, you know, this I think for so many of us that are, that are pulling our way out of systems that have been harmful to us, right. Like these are, this is the place where I was introduced to the thing I most care about in my life. This is the place where I was introduced to the person of Jesus. And, and I don't know where I would be without that. And yet, um, to really be in alignment with Jesus, I have had to peel back all the other pieces of, of what else this system gave me. Right. The other messages. And so I hear you. I mean, I think it is just, it, it is a question. And I do think that there are, uh, I think that we can't, you know, we can't deny the, the pursuit of power mm-hmm. and comfort mm-hmm. and, and, and wanting to hold onto like black and white truth cuz it's comfortable and easy to stomach. Um,Danielle (23:30):Yeah. When you talk about reclaiming, I think for, for me, what I come back to is part of what I reclaimed is that Jesus showed up to me in a lot of spaces where he actually wasn't even welcome , but he introduced himself to meThrough almost a false narrative about him, but he, he showed up in himself, which is how I came to faith mm-hmm. and how I see my faith moving despite, despite the falsification of who he wasJennifer (24:04):Yeah. Which is so wild, like, and beautiful. Right. And, and just points to like his I amenity mm-hmm. that goes beyond these systems that, um, make him something other than he is. Um, but yeah. I love that. I love reclaiming, um, I love the way you said that, that in, in these systems where it was, you know, in fact wasn't very welcome like that in those places, he introduced himself to you. Mm-hmm. . I love that. And I feel that, feel that too. YouDanielle (24:44):Yeah. Sorry, I interrupted. Um, no, you're good. Jen. When you think about that reclaiming process then for, for your clients or for someone who's listening, being like, I actually can't leave the system, or Sure. You don't understand if I leave, I'm gonna lose my family. Mm-hmm. , you don't understand if I say anything about white supremacy or share anything about what I'm voting for, I might lose my entire community. Like when someone walks into your office in that situation, what, what do you do with that?Jennifer (25:18):Yeah, I mean, I, I I mean first thing is like validate because it's true. It probably is true. I mean, and, and, and I think that that reality points so strongly to the truth of the situation that that individual is in, right? The truth of that system, that there really is no space for individuality. Um, and, and that to begin to speak up or to begin to move out of that, um, can't have great cost. Um, I think that, that that's a truth that needs to be acknowledged. And, and, um, you know, I so acknowledging that, that that's a reality. Um, and I, I think with a lot of kindness, the question I would pose to that person would be, um, I don't know, I, I, you know, at at what, what's it, what, what is it costing you to, to, to, what is it costing you, um, to remain, right? Like, like cuz there is a big cost to leave. Like there is a huge cost, um, that, and you need support, you need resources, and you need, um, you know, people who, uh, can, can be with you in the grief of all that it will cost. Um, and I think just in the, the quiet like pondering of our own soul, we have to, we have to be willing to face what is it costing me of me to not do something? Um, and I think it begins with like very small Cause my experience was that like, it wasn't like being within a system, it wasn't just about the system, it was about the ways that I had been groomed mm-hmm. to not think, groomed, to not ask questions, groomed to not like Yeah. I mean, even ask a question, just say, Hey, like, why does this have to be this way?Mm-hmm. like, I, I like those things didn't even cross my mind. And so I think like, it, it, it, in truth, I think it has to begin very small, um, with the grounding of your body, the telling of the stories and safe spaces so that there can be an increment of change toward, um, toward peeling back those layers of grooming Right. To where you can't ask a question and, and, and, and do the work to hold your own. Um, and trust that a series of those little moments of reclaiming your own voice and your own body and your own opinion and your own sense of who Jesus is, um, can accumulate and you, you doing what you need to do, whether that's leaving or whether that's staying and trying to be a voice for good, a voice for change. So that, that's kind of a framework that I think through.Danielle (28:17):Yeah. I like the way you put that. Like, it, like, I think a lot of us think like change is going to be like, suddenly I just like tear the building down mm-hmm. or burn all the books that were, you know, like cult like . I think often the longest change is so incremental, which makes it so painful.But more sustainable, I think. Mm-hmm. it doesn't mean you don't lose what you were fearful you lose in the end. Sure. You still may lose all of those things, but you do gain a lot by through incremental change. Mm-hmm.Jennifer (28:53): certainly. Yeah. I mean, I think, yeah, you gain the, the beauty of who you are apart from that and, and, and you gain the, the feeling of, um, like I am being true to my own knowing, my own sense of right and wrong, my own, um, you know, my own spirituality. Um, and, and you know, I think it, it always is such a motivator for, for us as parents, um, to when we, when we know that what we're doing will have generational implications, right? It's like there is the potential for so much loss, even in the incremental changes that can't be denied, but to have a generational forward, like a, a forward facing view of what might be gained beyond my generation, should I be willing to take these incremental steps that, that could lead to major loss? Like is, is a worthwhile, worthwhile gain, um, just to give my kids a different chance, you know, just to give them like, like the beginning of a different narrative.So my website is reclamation counseling.net. Um, and I'm also on Instagram, um, building a presence there. It's at Reclamation Counseling llc. Um, so those are probably the two best, best places to find me. Um, but yeah, I'd love to connect and, um, I really, I feel so passionate, like you wanna come along alongside people who are asking them really hard questions and, and doing the really hard work of incremental change, um, within their stories that can lead to bigger waves of change outside of them. So yeah.Danielle (30:55):I wonder what you would tell someone who can't even pick up the phone or send an email or an Instagram message. Like, what, what do you tell that person that isn't up to doing that part of the labor? Like, what's your word forJennifer (31:09):Them? Oh man, that question like, brings tears to my eyes because, um, that just feels like very, like I remember those days mm-hmm. . Um, and I, I would say stay curious. Like, just stay curious, keep reading. Um, know that if you're not there yet, that's okay. And yet, like listen, listen to and honor that voice inside of you that's like wanting something more for yourself and wanting something more for your kids. Even like, don't, don't deny that there's time, there's space. Um, but keep, even if it's a little step of listening to another podcast or picking up a book or, um, you know, like asking the questions in a journal cuz you don't have anybody you can talk to about 'em. Like stay with that, that voice inside of you and stay curious.Danielle (32:04):Yeah. Well just thank you so much for your wisdom. So there's three questions that we usually wrap up with. It's what are you reading, what are you listening to, and who, or what's inspiring you?Jennifer (32:16):Okay. So, um, I'm reading The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron. Yeah. So trying to recover some practices of creativity and, um, it's been very disruptive and good for my life. Um, so yeah, I'm reading that, um, listening to Part from, you know, podcast. Uh, music wise, I've been listening to three things depending on who's in the car with me. Um, the Hamilton soundtrack, um, zombies, three soundtrack or, um, the new Taylors Swift album. So those are the three things that have been playing for me recently. And then, um, what's the last question? Are you inspired by Yeah. Who are you inspired by? Oh, man. Gosh, so many people, um, faith who are like, who are still speaking up and who have the courage to continue to be that prophet voice in the wilderness, like in the face of such violence, um, and, and, and dishonesty, um, from so many, um, other people of faith. Um, so I, I feel very inspired by those voices. So, and you're included in that, Danielle. Oh, thanks man. Appreciate your voice. Yeah. I'm inspired by this conversation, so we gotta do this again. Yeah, I would love that. I would love that. Yeah. Yeah.

This week we are revisiting the Tony Costa case. Tony Costa, also known as “The Cape Cod Casanova”, “The Cape Cod Vampire” and even “Chop Chop” was a man of many hobbies ranging from taxidermy, to carpentry, to necrophilia and murder. He was charged for the murder of 4 but suspected of up to 8.MISSING - Shaniece Harris was born February 2, 1986 and was last seen in Rock Hill, New York, in Sullivan County on May 29, 2017, she was visiting a friends house and has not been heard from since. Shaneice is described as a female of color, with brown eyes and brown hair, approximately 260 lbs and 5 foot 8. Harris has a tattoo on her right hand, the top of her hand, that reads “Sparkz” with a z at the end, and a tattoo on her left arm of hands folded in prayer that reads “Rest in Peace.” She was known to frequent areas in Middletown and Monticello, New York. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest in this case. Anyone with information about Shaniece Harris, or what may have happened to her, is asked to call the FBI New York Office at (212) 384-1000.

Today I am chatting with Brian Sharbono, he won this inaugural Monroe Cross Trail 50 Miler this year as he preps for the Umstead 100. He has a handful of great runs at races such as winning the 2021 Pine Mountain 19 Miler and the Pine Mountain 46 Miler in 2019. He's done the Sweat, Swat, n Swear and took a victory at the River to Sea 6 Hour. At the 2021 Leadville 100, he ran a time of 23:42:12 to have a Top 50 finish. So last weekend, that last weekend of January the Monroe Cross Trail 50 Miler took place in its inaugural event! Diane Romero-Lopez knocked it out of the park with this one. Now, it's a paved point-to-point 50 miler that starts in Volusia County, starting from Rotary Park in Edgewater, Florida and going 50 miles to the finish line at Central 28 Beer Company in DeBary, Florida. Brian Sharbono took the victory this year with a time of 6:13:19 as he preps for the Umstead 100. Marc Burget took that 2nd overall with a time of 6:31:26! Luis Gomez, who placed second at Long Haul this year came in 3rd with a time of 7:28:59. The women's race was a close finish!! The first woman came in 4th overall, Joanne Fisher, she ran a time of 8:11:41. She was shortly followed by 5th place overall, and of course your second place woman… Jennifer Jordan with a time of 8:11:53. Shirley Olson was your third woman and 9thoverall with a time of 9:10:51!
As the entire world works to contain the spread of the coronavirus, the role of effective leadership has been brought into razor sharp focus. What people need now are leaders with empathy, compassion and an ability to show support, skills that women leaders tend to exhibit more than men. While it may take a global pandemic to finally acknowledge the unique talents and capabilities women leaders offer, companies shouldn't wait until there is a crisis to afford women an opportunity to lead. It's a trend we've seen before. The 2008 financial crisis was a result of irresponsible risk taking that ultimately came down to leadership and organizational priorities. Research examining risk-taking behavior finds that men are more prone to taking higher risks. Increased collective risk-taking behavior contributed to the crisis, which was an outcome of male-dominated workplaces that valued individual achievement and competition rather than collective well-being. Subsequent research found that women tend to adopt a more relational approach to leadership, which is more effective in a crisis compared to the more traditional command-and-control style of leadership typically adopted by men. Overall, women leaders adopt a relational style when leading through a crisis, which is highly effective as they focus on building trust, alleviating fears and managing the crisis at hand. Joining us on today's podcast is Professor Jennifer Jordan, a social psychologist and Professor of Leadership and Organizational Behaviour at IMD. Jennifer explains the evolution of good leadership and what each of us can do to prepare for the new world of work.

This week's episode features special Guest Host Victoria Delgado, as she interviews author Qiang Zhang and Greg (who was the editorialist and handling editor) as they discuss the article "Towards Replacing Late Gadolinium Enhancement with Artificial Intelligence Virtual Native Enhancement for Gadolinium-Free Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Tissue Characterization in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy." Dr. Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the Journal and its editors. We're your cohost. I'm Dr. Carolyn Lam, associate editor from the National Heart Center and Duke National University of Singapore. Dr. Greg Hundley: And I'm Dr. Greg Hundley, director of the Pauley Heart Center at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. And Carolyn, this week's feature actually is a magnetic resonance imaging paper, which you know, of course, I'm very fond of. And these authors have come up with a new methodology to get information equivalent to a late gadolinium-enhanced exam without administering gadolinium. But before we get to that feature discussion, how about we start in with some of the other articles in this issue? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Yep. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, how about if I go first? So Carolyn, the first paper I'm going to discuss is from Dr. Paul Welsh from the University of Glasgow, and it pertains to abdominal aortic aneurysms, which you know can occur in patients who are ineligible for routine ultrasound screening. A simple abdominal aortic aneurysm risk score was derived and compared to current guidelines used for ultrasound screening of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Dr. Greg Hundley: And so, this study comes to us from the UK Biobank, and they examined participants without previous, and let's just abbreviate this as AAA or AAA. So without previous AAA, we're split into a derivation cohort of 401,820 individuals, and a validation cohort of 83,000 individuals. An incident AAA was defined as a first hospital, inpatient diagnosis of AAA, death from AAA, or a AAA-related surgical procedure. And, of course, they used multivariable Cox models to develop the derivation cohort, and then apply that to the validation cohort. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow, Greg, that is a large number of people, the power of the UK Biobank, huh? So, what did they find? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right. So, Carolyn, components of the AAA risk score were age, stratified by smoking status, weight, stratified by smoking status, any hypertensive and cholesterol-lowering medication use, height, diastolic blood pressure, baseline cardiovascular disease, and then diabetes. Dr. Greg Hundley: So, Carolyn, in the validation cohort, over 10 years of follow-up, the C index, for the model for the USPSTF guidelines, was 0.705, whereas, the C index of the risk score as a continuous variable was 0.856. And in the validation cohort, the USPSTF model yielded a sensitivity of 63%, and a specificity of 71%. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Okay, Greg, but what's a take-home message? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. So the take-home message is that in an asymptomatic general population, a risk score based on patient age, height, weight, and a medical history may improve identification of asymptomatic patients at risk for clinical events from AAA. And also, these results highlight that further development and validation of risk scores to detect asymptomatic AAA are needed. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow, and that was a great summary with a lot more data in the article, huh? Let's refer the readers to it. But for my paper, it highlights the key role of histidine triad nucleotide-binding protein 1, or HINT 1, in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy. Dr. Greg Hundley: Wow. Carolyn, so tell me a little bit more about HINT 1. Dr. Carolyn Lam: I thought you may ask. HINT 1 is a highly-conserved 14 kilodalton protein that belongs to the histidine triad super family. It was previously shown to play a role in diverse neuropsychiatric diseases. Loss of HINT 1 increased susceptibility to carcinogenesis in mice, suggesting, as well, a tumor suppressor role. So recently, HINT 1 has emerged as a tumor suppressor with multiple molecular mechanisms, involving regulation of apoptosis, gene transcription, and cell cycle control. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Now, with that as a background, today's paper from co-corresponding authors Drs. Ji, Xie and Han, from Nanjing Medical University, used animal models and cell models of hypertrophic growth, and found that HINT 1 deficiency aggravated overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis and deteriorated cardiac dysfunction in mice, whereas, cardiac-specific HINT 1 over-expression attenuated cardiac hypertrophy, and rescued cardiac dysfunction. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Furthermore, the more the authors uncovered Homeobox A5, or Hox A5, as a HINT 1 target gene, which contributed to hypertrophy through activating the TGF beta signal pathway. Combined, these findings demonstrate HINT 1 may be a prognostic biomarker, and this may establish a foundation for future investigation of its potential as a therapeutic target for cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. Greg Hundley: Great, Carolyn. So, we get a hint for future cardiac hypertrophy. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Hahaha. Dr. Greg Hundley: Couldn't resist. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Bravo. Dr. Greg Hundley: Couldn't resist. So, Carolyn, my next paper comes to us from Dr. Mark Gladwin from the University of Pittsburgh. And, as you know, many patients with one of your faves, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction have metabolic syndrome and develop exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension. Now, increases in pulmonary vascular resistance, in patients with HFpEF portend a poor prognosis. This phenotype is referred to as combined pre- and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension. Dr. Greg Hundley: And therapeutic trials of exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension, and pre- and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension, have been disappointing, suggesting the need for strategies that target upstream mechanisms of the disease. And so, this work reports novel rat exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension models and mechanisms of pulmonary vascular dysfunction, centered around the transcriptional repression of the soluble guanylate cyclase enzyme in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Ooh, so much of this is of interest to me, from HFpEF to soluble guanylate cyclase. Ah, all right, so what did they find, Greg? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. So, in the HFpEF and in the pre- and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension models, metabolic syndrome contributed to pulmonary vascular dysfunction and exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension through enhanced reactive oxygen species and MIR193B expression, which downregulates NFYA-dependent soluble guanylate cyclase beta-1 expression, and adenovirus mediated NFYA over-expression and SGLT-2 inhibition restored NFYA soluble guanylate cyclase beta-1 cyclic GMP signaling, and ameliorated exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension. Dr. Greg Hundley: So Carolyn, after all of that, these results uncover a molecular explanation for the unsolved clinical associations linking metabolic syndrome with exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension in patients with pre- and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension, as well as HFpEF. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow. That is super, Greg. Thanks. Now, other articles in today's issue include a research letter by Dr. Schunkert on identification of a functional PDE5A variant at the chromosome 4q27 coronary artery disease locus in an extended myocardial infarction family. Dr. Carolyn Lam: There is a policy front paper by Dr. Lackey on applying decision analysis to inform FDA's benefit risk assessment of ticagrelor for primary prevention of myocardial infarction or stroke, based on the THEMIS trial. There's an exchange of letters between Drs. Olson and Reiffel regarding the article emulating randomized controlled trials with non-randomized real-world evidence studies, the first results of the RCT Duplicate Initiative. Dr. Greg Hundley: Great. Carolyn. Well, I've got two other papers. There's an ECG challenge from Professor Macherey entitled, Wide QRS complex bradycardia in a hemodynamically unstable young woman. And then, finally, one of our nice perspective pieces from Dr. Armstrong entitled, Extending the product label for ticagrelor: Looking under the FDA hood. Well, Carolyn, now we're going to learn a little bit more about that non-contrast method of MRI to get, maybe, the equivalent to late gadolinium enhancement in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Dr. Carolyn Lam: And all by AI. Very, very cool. All right, let's go. Dr. Victoria Delgado: Hello, I'm Victoria Delgado, associate editor of Circulation, and working at the University Medical Center, and I have the privilege to welcome Dr. Zhang from the University of Oxford, division of cardiovascular medicine, and first author of the article published in Circulation, which presents a new technology that has the potential to change our clinical practice, and how do we assess myocardial tissue characteristics, particularly fibrosis with cardiac magnetic resonance. Dr. Victoria Delgado: With us, we have also Dr. Greg Hundley from VCU Pauley Heart Center, associate editor of Circulation, and host of Circulation on the Run and editorialist of this article. And Greg has handled this article in the review process and guided Dr. Zhang and coworkers to finally get a very impactful, in my opinion, and novel paper that has the potential to change clinical practice. He will help us to put in perspective the main message of this article. But first, Dr. Zhang, why don't you tell us briefly, what is this new technology for myocardial tissue characterization with cardiovascular magnetic resonance, and why did you develop it? Dr. Qiang Zhang: Well, first, I want to say thank you very much for the invitation. Well, as we know, CMR late-gadolinium enhancement, or LGE, has been the imaging gold standard for micro tissue catheterization. However, LGE requires the injection of a contrast agent, which prolongs the scan, increase the cost, and is cautioned in some patient groups. It is therefore desirable to develop a contrast-free technique to replace LGE. A native or pre-contrast CMR such as cine imaging, T1-mapping and the T2-mapping are alternative means for myocardial tissue characterization without the need for contrast. Dr. Qiang Zhang: And notably, T1-mapping can detect a wider range of pathology, but its clinical application is hindered by confounding factors and a lack of clear interpretation. So we thought that since MRI is inherently multimodal and multiparametric, with different modalities reflecting complimentary information about micro tissue, therefore can we use the ones of an AI method to combine the enhanced pre-contrast and modalities to produce a virtual LGE image without the need for contrast, and this leads to our concept of CMR virtual native enhancement. Dr. Victoria Delgado: Excellent. And in which population did you evaluate this technology? Why did you choose? So, can you tell us a little bit the characteristics of the population where you choose to assess the performance of this new technology? Dr. Qiang Zhang: Yes, so we validated this concept first on the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients using the image data from HCMR study, which is a larger multinational study. We trained the new network models on about 2,700 images, and then we tested independently on 124 patient materials. Dr. Victoria Delgado: And what were the results? Can you summarize them for us to understand what you found, how you evaluated the performance of this new technology compared to classical late gadolinium enhancement? Dr. Qiang Zhang: Yeah. So, we found that first, the VNE image had significantly better image quality than the traditional LGE, and the secondly, the VNE revealed characteristic HCM lesions in hypertrophic segment and added the anterior and the inferior right ventricular insertion point, and those VNE lesions were in high visual spatial agreement with the lesions detected by LGE. And thirdly, VNE correlated strongly with LGE in quantifying hyperintensity, micro lesions, but also more subtle intermediate-intensity lesions as often observed in the HCM patients. Dr. Victoria Delgado: Exciting. And now I would like to turn to Greg. You are a renowned expert on CMR. What did this article attract you? What were the main findings that you found interesting in this article? Dr. Greg Hundley: Yes. Thank you so much, Victoria. And just first, before I get started, I wanted to thank Zhang for sending us this work, and his entire team really spanning several institutions around the globe. Victoria, I want to thank you for leading this discussion. And Victoria, we work as a team looking at imaging, and what's very impressive is this caught multiple of us on the imaging team, but also the editorial board. So want to thank you Victoria. And then, finally, I want to thank Dr. Charlotte Manisty and Jennifer Jordan who helped with the editorial. Dr. Greg Hundley: So, just to take a little bit of a step back in the year 2000, Dr. Ray Kim, Dr. Bob Bono, Dr. Bob Judd at Northwestern University, in Chicago, administered gadolinium contrast. It's an extra cellular agent and they were examining myocardial perfusion, and then they noticed if they took images 10 or so minutes after that administration, they appreciated this late enhancement of the myocardial tissue that was associated with two things, one myocardial injury, and then, also, scar formation. Dr. Greg Hundley: And for the last 21 years, that technique has been very valuable in assessing infarct size in those with ischemic cardiomyopathy, and then also recognizing extracellular fibrosis or forms of myocardial injury in a variety of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy processes. And one of those is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. And so, Zhang and his group have been working on a technique that did not utilize gadolinium anymore. And they based this on, really, had two important features. Dr. Greg Hundley: One is, some examination of the T1 relaxation that's available when you acquire magnetic resonance images, and then also applying artificial intelligence to analysis of these images. Those two factors allowed this investigative team to produce images that are very similar to what we appreciate with gadolinium enhancement in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. And why is that significant? So administration of gadolinium, we think about two things, again, that are an issue with that. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, one, we've got to give the contrast agent, and some patients are not well-suited. If you have renal dysfunction, you can develop nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, a scleroderma-like syndrome when the gadolinium is not cleared, and it's stays in your body a long time. The other thing we tend to worry about much more recently was accumulation of gadolinium in the brain stem. We don't know that that has an adverse effect, but we're certainly aware of it. Dr. Greg Hundley: And finally, I guess there is a third point. There are a few patients, one in 20 to 40,000 that have allergic reactions. So, for all those patients that really can't get gadolinium, this is another potential opportunity moving forward. The second point is time. So during an MRI scan time, or process, we administer the gadolinium. And remember what I said, we've got to wait about 10 minutes to then collect these images. Well, if you can have a technique where you don't have to administer gadolinium, you get the same administration and you don't have to wait that 10 minutes, we might be able to save a large amount of time. And you say, well, 10 minutes, what does that mean? Dr. Greg Hundley: But if you're doing many patients during the day, that really could equate to a big time-savings. So what attracted us to this article? A technical innovation that perhaps may obviate the need for the administration of gadolinium in many cases, and here in these patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, I think the images were quite stunning in that they appreciated the extent of the fibrosis and scar in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to the same degree, and maybe even with higher image quality than we had in the gadolinium-enhanced comparitors. Dr. Victoria Delgado: Yeah. I agree with all those comments, indeed. For these 20 years, there have been other developments, in terms of assessing diffuse fibrosis with T1-mapping techniques after administration of gadolinium, but also before administration of gadolinium. And this technology Dr. Zhang and co-workers have shown actually reduces the time of acquisition because you only need 15 minutes to acquire the cine images and the T1 images. And the analysis is not very long in terms of post-processing, because it's also very short. As seen the paper was indicated. Dr. Victoria Delgado: And as you said, the administration of gadolinium enhancement is not free of potential risks. And in these patients, for example, we have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that can undergo repetitive evaluations during follow-up. The use of this imaging technique can help to reduce the exposure to gadolinium enhancement. Dr. Victoria Delgado: Now, the question for you, Qiang, will be, what are the next steps for you and your team to further develop this technique, to further convince the community to implement this technique in clinical practice, and that can have an impact in our management of these patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or with other patients on whom we also evaluate the presence of myocardial fibrosis? Dr. Qiang Zhang: Thank you, Victoria. And thank you Greg, for the very insightful comments. So we think that the immediate future work would be to validate the VNE HCMR study clinical outcomes as a potential new contrast-free biomarker for HCM patients. And in the meantime, we are working on extending the method to other pathologies, particularly myocardial infarction, for viability assessment. Dr. Qiang Zhang: And we also think that the concept of AI virtual contrast agent maybe apply it to other post-contrast images, such as early gadolinium enhancement and extracellular volume refraction mapping, or even, maybe, first perfusion. And also in collaboration with MR vendors, we plan to implement VNE as inline sequence on the scanner to display lesions immediately after the pre-contrast cine and the T1-mapping acquisitions. Dr. Victoria Delgado: Very interesting. And Greg, another group of patients, for example, that I'm thinking of where this technology can be very helpful, and you have expertise on this, are patients undergoing treatment with chemotherapy, what we need to address, for example, or to evaluate the presence of cardiac toxicity. Would you see in this population the value of this technique, or how do you see the future of these technique in clinical practice? Dr. Greg Hundley: Yeah. Great questions, Victoria. I think probably five things and many of those Qiang has already just brought up. One, with the current study, it's going to be great to follow these patients over time and look at the outcomes. What did amount, presence, location of the findings with this new technique, how did they equate to outcomes in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? So we're going to anxiously await that. Dr. Greg Hundley: I think once we move out of the current study, thinking about other vendors, using this and acquiring images from General Electric and Phillips, and multiple vendors around the world and multiple field strengths, how do we going to understand the findings there? I think another particular issue will be different diseases as Qiang ha said, ischemic cardiomyopathy. Well, what about amyloid? Victoria, you've mentioned using the other possibility here is, can this technique help us produce something similar to extracellular volume fraction measures? And could that be used to identify interstitial disease processes? Dr. Greg Hundley: And, for example, as you mentioned, the fibrosis that's associated with the administration of certain chemotherapeutic agents or radiation therapy. I think another thing is, Qiang, can we go back and use retrospectively-collected data? Can your technique be modified so that many of the studies that have been performed in the past, large population studies, like Mesa or a Framingham or Jackson heart study, and could we use that to develop forecasting and algorithms moving forward? Dr. Greg Hundley: And then, lastly, I think as you mentioned, the artificial intelligence component of what you've described and how's that can compare when Victoria and I look at the images, and could we get into combining reads from one institution, reads from another, reads from another, tracking outcomes? And so, when a patient comes in and has a study performed, your artificial intelligence, not only does it read that study and highlights the increased signal in the myocardium, but then goes and looks at outcomes across multiple sites, and what would that mean for a given patient with a different condition? So, oh my goodness, the horizon is just so expansive here. The future is very bright. And just to congratulate you on, I really think this could be another landmark technical innovation, so fantastic work. Dr. Victoria Delgado: Indeed. Thank you very much, Greg, for all these insightful comments and these perspectives that we have in the future, particularly with the use of this technique in retrospective studies in large cities, that where we can develop these algorithms. And I would like also to thank Qiang for submitting your article to Circulation, for giving us the opportunity to present this new technology and make this article, like the landmark article, where there will be many other articles to follow. We hope that you also choose us. Dr. Victoria Delgado: But with this, I would like to thank both of you, Greg and Qiang, for the excellent discussion that we have had in this new technology, based on artificial intelligence, that can identify myocardial fibrosis without the use of gadolinium enhancement, that maybe by now will be obsolete in the future, and that can impact on how we do our clinical practice. Many thanks to all of you and happy to discuss in the future other articles. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, on behalf of Carolyn and myself, I want to thank our speakers, and then also, wish everyone a great week. And we will catch you next week On the Run.

This week's episode features special Guest Host Victoria Delgado, as she interviews author Qiang Zhang and Greg (who was the editorialist and handling editor) as they discuss the article "Towards Replacing Late Gadolinium Enhancement with Artificial Intelligence Virtual Native Enhancement for Gadolinium-Free Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Tissue Characterization in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy." Dr. Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the Journal and its editors. We're your cohost. I'm Dr. Carolyn Lam, associate editor from the National Heart Center and Duke National University of Singapore. Dr. Greg Hundley: And I'm Dr. Greg Hundley, director of the Pauley Heart Center at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. And Carolyn, this week's feature actually is a magnetic resonance imaging paper, which you know, of course, I'm very fond of. And these authors have come up with a new methodology to get information equivalent to a late gadolinium-enhanced exam without administering gadolinium. But before we get to that feature discussion, how about we start in with some of the other articles in this issue? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Yep. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, how about if I go first? So Carolyn, the first paper I'm going to discuss is from Dr. Paul Welsh from the University of Glasgow, and it pertains to abdominal aortic aneurysms, which you know can occur in patients who are ineligible for routine ultrasound screening. A simple abdominal aortic aneurysm risk score was derived and compared to current guidelines used for ultrasound screening of abdominal aortic aneurysms. Dr. Greg Hundley: And so, this study comes to us from the UK Biobank, and they examined participants without previous, and let's just abbreviate this as AAA or AAA. So without previous AAA, we're split into a derivation cohort of 401,820 individuals, and a validation cohort of 83,000 individuals. An incident AAA was defined as a first hospital, inpatient diagnosis of AAA, death from AAA, or a AAA-related surgical procedure. And, of course, they used multivariable Cox models to develop the derivation cohort, and then apply that to the validation cohort. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow, Greg, that is a large number of people, the power of the UK Biobank, huh? So, what did they find? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right. So, Carolyn, components of the AAA risk score were age, stratified by smoking status, weight, stratified by smoking status, any hypertensive and cholesterol-lowering medication use, height, diastolic blood pressure, baseline cardiovascular disease, and then diabetes. Dr. Greg Hundley: So, Carolyn, in the validation cohort, over 10 years of follow-up, the C index, for the model for the USPSTF guidelines, was 0.705, whereas, the C index of the risk score as a continuous variable was 0.856. And in the validation cohort, the USPSTF model yielded a sensitivity of 63%, and a specificity of 71%. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Okay, Greg, but what's a take-home message? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. So the take-home message is that in an asymptomatic general population, a risk score based on patient age, height, weight, and a medical history may improve identification of asymptomatic patients at risk for clinical events from AAA. And also, these results highlight that further development and validation of risk scores to detect asymptomatic AAA are needed. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow, and that was a great summary with a lot more data in the article, huh? Let's refer the readers to it. But for my paper, it highlights the key role of histidine triad nucleotide-binding protein 1, or HINT 1, in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy. Dr. Greg Hundley: Wow. Carolyn, so tell me a little bit more about HINT 1. Dr. Carolyn Lam: I thought you may ask. HINT 1 is a highly-conserved 14 kilodalton protein that belongs to the histidine triad super family. It was previously shown to play a role in diverse neuropsychiatric diseases. Loss of HINT 1 increased susceptibility to carcinogenesis in mice, suggesting, as well, a tumor suppressor role. So recently, HINT 1 has emerged as a tumor suppressor with multiple molecular mechanisms, involving regulation of apoptosis, gene transcription, and cell cycle control. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Now, with that as a background, today's paper from co-corresponding authors Drs. Ji, Xie and Han, from Nanjing Medical University, used animal models and cell models of hypertrophic growth, and found that HINT 1 deficiency aggravated overload-induced cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis and deteriorated cardiac dysfunction in mice, whereas, cardiac-specific HINT 1 over-expression attenuated cardiac hypertrophy, and rescued cardiac dysfunction. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Furthermore, the more the authors uncovered Homeobox A5, or Hox A5, as a HINT 1 target gene, which contributed to hypertrophy through activating the TGF beta signal pathway. Combined, these findings demonstrate HINT 1 may be a prognostic biomarker, and this may establish a foundation for future investigation of its potential as a therapeutic target for cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. Greg Hundley: Great, Carolyn. So, we get a hint for future cardiac hypertrophy. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Hahaha. Dr. Greg Hundley: Couldn't resist. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Bravo. Dr. Greg Hundley: Couldn't resist. So, Carolyn, my next paper comes to us from Dr. Mark Gladwin from the University of Pittsburgh. And, as you know, many patients with one of your faves, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction have metabolic syndrome and develop exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension. Now, increases in pulmonary vascular resistance, in patients with HFpEF portend a poor prognosis. This phenotype is referred to as combined pre- and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension. Dr. Greg Hundley: And therapeutic trials of exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension, and pre- and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension, have been disappointing, suggesting the need for strategies that target upstream mechanisms of the disease. And so, this work reports novel rat exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension models and mechanisms of pulmonary vascular dysfunction, centered around the transcriptional repression of the soluble guanylate cyclase enzyme in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Ooh, so much of this is of interest to me, from HFpEF to soluble guanylate cyclase. Ah, all right, so what did they find, Greg? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. So, in the HFpEF and in the pre- and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension models, metabolic syndrome contributed to pulmonary vascular dysfunction and exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension through enhanced reactive oxygen species and MIR193B expression, which downregulates NFYA-dependent soluble guanylate cyclase beta-1 expression, and adenovirus mediated NFYA over-expression and SGLT-2 inhibition restored NFYA soluble guanylate cyclase beta-1 cyclic GMP signaling, and ameliorated exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension. Dr. Greg Hundley: So Carolyn, after all of that, these results uncover a molecular explanation for the unsolved clinical associations linking metabolic syndrome with exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension in patients with pre- and post-capillary pulmonary hypertension, as well as HFpEF. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow. That is super, Greg. Thanks. Now, other articles in today's issue include a research letter by Dr. Schunkert on identification of a functional PDE5A variant at the chromosome 4q27 coronary artery disease locus in an extended myocardial infarction family. Dr. Carolyn Lam: There is a policy front paper by Dr. Lackey on applying decision analysis to inform FDA's benefit risk assessment of ticagrelor for primary prevention of myocardial infarction or stroke, based on the THEMIS trial. There's an exchange of letters between Drs. Olson and Reiffel regarding the article emulating randomized controlled trials with non-randomized real-world evidence studies, the first results of the RCT Duplicate Initiative. Dr. Greg Hundley: Great. Carolyn. Well, I've got two other papers. There's an ECG challenge from Professor Macherey entitled, Wide QRS complex bradycardia in a hemodynamically unstable young woman. And then, finally, one of our nice perspective pieces from Dr. Armstrong entitled, Extending the product label for ticagrelor: Looking under the FDA hood. Well, Carolyn, now we're going to learn a little bit more about that non-contrast method of MRI to get, maybe, the equivalent to late gadolinium enhancement in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Dr. Carolyn Lam: And all by AI. Very, very cool. All right, let's go. Dr. Victoria Delgado: Hello, I'm Victoria Delgado, associate editor of Circulation, and working at the University Medical Center, and I have the privilege to welcome Dr. Zhang from the University of Oxford, division of cardiovascular medicine, and first author of the article published in Circulation, which presents a new technology that has the potential to change our clinical practice, and how do we assess myocardial tissue characteristics, particularly fibrosis with cardiac magnetic resonance. Dr. Victoria Delgado: With us, we have also Dr. Greg Hundley from VCU Pauley Heart Center, associate editor of Circulation, and host of Circulation on the Run and editorialist of this article. And Greg has handled this article in the review process and guided Dr. Zhang and coworkers to finally get a very impactful, in my opinion, and novel paper that has the potential to change clinical practice. He will help us to put in perspective the main message of this article. But first, Dr. Zhang, why don't you tell us briefly, what is this new technology for myocardial tissue characterization with cardiovascular magnetic resonance, and why did you develop it? Dr. Qiang Zhang: Well, first, I want to say thank you very much for the invitation. Well, as we know, CMR late-gadolinium enhancement, or LGE, has been the imaging gold standard for micro tissue catheterization. However, LGE requires the injection of a contrast agent, which prolongs the scan, increase the cost, and is cautioned in some patient groups. It is therefore desirable to develop a contrast-free technique to replace LGE. A native or pre-contrast CMR such as cine imaging, T1-mapping and the T2-mapping are alternative means for myocardial tissue characterization without the need for contrast. Dr. Qiang Zhang: And notably, T1-mapping can detect a wider range of pathology, but its clinical application is hindered by confounding factors and a lack of clear interpretation. So we thought that since MRI is inherently multimodal and multiparametric, with different modalities reflecting complimentary information about micro tissue, therefore can we use the ones of an AI method to combine the enhanced pre-contrast and modalities to produce a virtual LGE image without the need for contrast, and this leads to our concept of CMR virtual native enhancement. Dr. Victoria Delgado: Excellent. And in which population did you evaluate this technology? Why did you choose? So, can you tell us a little bit the characteristics of the population where you choose to assess the performance of this new technology? Dr. Qiang Zhang: Yes, so we validated this concept first on the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients using the image data from HCMR study, which is a larger multinational study. We trained the new network models on about 2,700 images, and then we tested independently on 124 patient materials. Dr. Victoria Delgado: And what were the results? Can you summarize them for us to understand what you found, how you evaluated the performance of this new technology compared to classical late gadolinium enhancement? Dr. Qiang Zhang: Yeah. So, we found that first, the VNE image had significantly better image quality than the traditional LGE, and the secondly, the VNE revealed characteristic HCM lesions in hypertrophic segment and added the anterior and the inferior right ventricular insertion point, and those VNE lesions were in high visual spatial agreement with the lesions detected by LGE. And thirdly, VNE correlated strongly with LGE in quantifying hyperintensity, micro lesions, but also more subtle intermediate-intensity lesions as often observed in the HCM patients. Dr. Victoria Delgado: Exciting. And now I would like to turn to Greg. You are a renowned expert on CMR. What did this article attract you? What were the main findings that you found interesting in this article? Dr. Greg Hundley: Yes. Thank you so much, Victoria. And just first, before I get started, I wanted to thank Zhang for sending us this work, and his entire team really spanning several institutions around the globe. Victoria, I want to thank you for leading this discussion. And Victoria, we work as a team looking at imaging, and what's very impressive is this caught multiple of us on the imaging team, but also the editorial board. So want to thank you Victoria. And then, finally, I want to thank Dr. Charlotte Manisty and Jennifer Jordan who helped with the editorial. Dr. Greg Hundley: So, just to take a little bit of a step back in the year 2000, Dr. Ray Kim, Dr. Bob Bono, Dr. Bob Judd at Northwestern University, in Chicago, administered gadolinium contrast. It's an extra cellular agent and they were examining myocardial perfusion, and then they noticed if they took images 10 or so minutes after that administration, they appreciated this late enhancement of the myocardial tissue that was associated with two things, one myocardial injury, and then, also, scar formation. Dr. Greg Hundley: And for the last 21 years, that technique has been very valuable in assessing infarct size in those with ischemic cardiomyopathy, and then also recognizing extracellular fibrosis or forms of myocardial injury in a variety of non-ischemic cardiomyopathy processes. And one of those is hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. And so, Zhang and his group have been working on a technique that did not utilize gadolinium anymore. And they based this on, really, had two important features. Dr. Greg Hundley: One is, some examination of the T1 relaxation that's available when you acquire magnetic resonance images, and then also applying artificial intelligence to analysis of these images. Those two factors allowed this investigative team to produce images that are very similar to what we appreciate with gadolinium enhancement in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. And why is that significant? So administration of gadolinium, we think about two things, again, that are an issue with that. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, one, we've got to give the contrast agent, and some patients are not well-suited. If you have renal dysfunction, you can develop nephrogenic systemic fibrosis, a scleroderma-like syndrome when the gadolinium is not cleared, and it's stays in your body a long time. The other thing we tend to worry about much more recently was accumulation of gadolinium in the brain stem. We don't know that that has an adverse effect, but we're certainly aware of it. Dr. Greg Hundley: And finally, I guess there is a third point. There are a few patients, one in 20 to 40,000 that have allergic reactions. So, for all those patients that really can't get gadolinium, this is another potential opportunity moving forward. The second point is time. So during an MRI scan time, or process, we administer the gadolinium. And remember what I said, we've got to wait about 10 minutes to then collect these images. Well, if you can have a technique where you don't have to administer gadolinium, you get the same administration and you don't have to wait that 10 minutes, we might be able to save a large amount of time. And you say, well, 10 minutes, what does that mean? Dr. Greg Hundley: But if you're doing many patients during the day, that really could equate to a big time-savings. So what attracted us to this article? A technical innovation that perhaps may obviate the need for the administration of gadolinium in many cases, and here in these patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, I think the images were quite stunning in that they appreciated the extent of the fibrosis and scar in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to the same degree, and maybe even with higher image quality than we had in the gadolinium-enhanced comparitors. Dr. Victoria Delgado: Yeah. I agree with all those comments, indeed. For these 20 years, there have been other developments, in terms of assessing diffuse fibrosis with T1-mapping techniques after administration of gadolinium, but also before administration of gadolinium. And this technology Dr. Zhang and co-workers have shown actually reduces the time of acquisition because you only need 15 minutes to acquire the cine images and the T1 images. And the analysis is not very long in terms of post-processing, because it's also very short. As seen the paper was indicated. Dr. Victoria Delgado: And as you said, the administration of gadolinium enhancement is not free of potential risks. And in these patients, for example, we have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy that can undergo repetitive evaluations during follow-up. The use of this imaging technique can help to reduce the exposure to gadolinium enhancement. Dr. Victoria Delgado: Now, the question for you, Qiang, will be, what are the next steps for you and your team to further develop this technique, to further convince the community to implement this technique in clinical practice, and that can have an impact in our management of these patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or with other patients on whom we also evaluate the presence of myocardial fibrosis? Dr. Qiang Zhang: Thank you, Victoria. And thank you Greg, for the very insightful comments. So we think that the immediate future work would be to validate the VNE HCMR study clinical outcomes as a potential new contrast-free biomarker for HCM patients. And in the meantime, we are working on extending the method to other pathologies, particularly myocardial infarction, for viability assessment. Dr. Qiang Zhang: And we also think that the concept of AI virtual contrast agent maybe apply it to other post-contrast images, such as early gadolinium enhancement and extracellular volume refraction mapping, or even, maybe, first perfusion. And also in collaboration with MR vendors, we plan to implement VNE as inline sequence on the scanner to display lesions immediately after the pre-contrast cine and the T1-mapping acquisitions. Dr. Victoria Delgado: Very interesting. And Greg, another group of patients, for example, that I'm thinking of where this technology can be very helpful, and you have expertise on this, are patients undergoing treatment with chemotherapy, what we need to address, for example, or to evaluate the presence of cardiac toxicity. Would you see in this population the value of this technique, or how do you see the future of these technique in clinical practice? Dr. Greg Hundley: Yeah. Great questions, Victoria. I think probably five things and many of those Qiang has already just brought up. One, with the current study, it's going to be great to follow these patients over time and look at the outcomes. What did amount, presence, location of the findings with this new technique, how did they equate to outcomes in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy? So we're going to anxiously await that. Dr. Greg Hundley: I think once we move out of the current study, thinking about other vendors, using this and acquiring images from General Electric and Phillips, and multiple vendors around the world and multiple field strengths, how do we going to understand the findings there? I think another particular issue will be different diseases as Qiang ha said, ischemic cardiomyopathy. Well, what about amyloid? Victoria, you've mentioned using the other possibility here is, can this technique help us produce something similar to extracellular volume fraction measures? And could that be used to identify interstitial disease processes? Dr. Greg Hundley: And, for example, as you mentioned, the fibrosis that's associated with the administration of certain chemotherapeutic agents or radiation therapy. I think another thing is, Qiang, can we go back and use retrospectively-collected data? Can your technique be modified so that many of the studies that have been performed in the past, large population studies, like Mesa or a Framingham or Jackson heart study, and could we use that to develop forecasting and algorithms moving forward? Dr. Greg Hundley: And then, lastly, I think as you mentioned, the artificial intelligence component of what you've described and how's that can compare when Victoria and I look at the images, and could we get into combining reads from one institution, reads from another, reads from another, tracking outcomes? And so, when a patient comes in and has a study performed, your artificial intelligence, not only does it read that study and highlights the increased signal in the myocardium, but then goes and looks at outcomes across multiple sites, and what would that mean for a given patient with a different condition? So, oh my goodness, the horizon is just so expansive here. The future is very bright. And just to congratulate you on, I really think this could be another landmark technical innovation, so fantastic work. Dr. Victoria Delgado: Indeed. Thank you very much, Greg, for all these insightful comments and these perspectives that we have in the future, particularly with the use of this technique in retrospective studies in large cities, that where we can develop these algorithms. And I would like also to thank Qiang for submitting your article to Circulation, for giving us the opportunity to present this new technology and make this article, like the landmark article, where there will be many other articles to follow. We hope that you also choose us. Dr. Victoria Delgado: But with this, I would like to thank both of you, Greg and Qiang, for the excellent discussion that we have had in this new technology, based on artificial intelligence, that can identify myocardial fibrosis without the use of gadolinium enhancement, that maybe by now will be obsolete in the future, and that can impact on how we do our clinical practice. Many thanks to all of you and happy to discuss in the future other articles.

Tonight, my special guests are Liza Rodman and Jennifer Jordan, who recount the shocking true story of time spent with a young man who was privately taking delight in dismembering women in the 1960s. Get her book The Babysitter on Amazon.Liza Rodman was a lonely little girl growing up on Cape Cod in the 1960s. During the summers, while her mother worked days in a local motel and danced most nights in the Provincetown bars, her babysitter—the kind, handsome handyman at the motel where her mother worked—took her and her sister on adventures in his truck. He bought them popsicles, and they visited his “secret garden” in the Truro woods. To Liza, he was one of the few kind, understanding, and safe adults in her life. But there was one thing she didn't know: their babysitter was a serial killer. Though Tony Costa's gruesome case made screaming headlines in 1969 and beyond, Liza never made the connection between her friendly babysitter and the infamous killer of numerous women, including four in Massachusetts, until decades later. Haunted by nightmares and horrified by what she learned, Liza became obsessed with the case. Now, she and co-writer Jennifer Jordan reveal “a suspenseful portrayal of murderous madness in tandem with a child's growing loneliness, neglect, and despair, a narrative collision that will haunt” (Sarah Weinman, author of The Real Lolita) you long after you finish it. Antone Charles Costa was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on August 2, 1944.[2] Costa started committing violent crimes at a relatively early age, when in November 1961, at age 17, he was arrested and charged with burglary and assault after breaking into a house and attacking a teenage girl. He was sentenced to three years of probation and a one-year suspended sentence for the crime.[3] In 1966, Costa picked up two women and promised to take them to Pennsylvania on his way to California. The women, Bonnie Williams and Diane Federoff, disappeared shortly after encountering Costa, and he told investigators that he had dropped them off in California. Costa was additionally thought to have murdered his girlfriend, Barbara Spaulding, in 1967 while he was living in California.[3] However, Federoff, Williams, and Spaulding were later found alive.[4] Costa was suspected of killing eight women: Diane Federoff, Bonnie Williams, Barbara Spaulding, Sydney Monson, Susan Perry, Christine Gallant, Patricia Walsh, and Mary Anne Wysocki, but convicted of killing only two: Walsh and Wysocki. Although suspected of killing Federoff, Williams, and Spaulding, those women were later found alive.[5] On February 8, 1969, while looking for the bodies of Patricia Walsh and Mary Anne Wysocki, police discovered Susan Perry. Perry had been missing since the previous Labor Day.[6] Perry's body had been cut into eight pieces. When Wysocki's body was found about a month later, her torso and head had been buried separately. Not long after, Walsh and the rest of Wysocki's body were found in a forest clearing that Costa had used for growing marijuana.[6] This "garden" of marijuana plants and the more significant case inspired the actual crime book In His Garden by Leo Damore.[6] The case gained international attention when district attorney Edmund Dinis, in comments to the media, claimed of Walsh and Wysocki, "The hearts of each girl had been removed from the bodies and were not in the graves…Each body was cut into as many parts as there are joints." Dinis also claimed that there were teeth marks found on the bodies. These claims, although untrue, produced a stream of national and international media outlets in local Provincetown, Massachusetts.[6] Do you frequently miss episodes of Mysterious Radio?

For this year's Thanksgiving show, there are seven seats at the table, making this the most populated episode in the podcast's history. Andy K. and Derek are joined by their fellow cohosts Gwen, Andy W., Gene, Sean, and Edward to discuss what they are thankful for in the world of comics. (Shea and Paul couldn't join in on the fun, unfortunately, but they were there in spirit.) Among the various things they're thankful for are the final volume in The Complete Peanuts series, the increased number of translations of French-language comics, Barry Deutsch and his Hereville books, small local comics conferences, the new Doctor Strange Omnibus, indispensable publishers such as Fantagraphics and First Second, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (again), parents who are embracing comics in libraries, Drawn and Quarterly's manga output, other Canadian publishers and comics creators, socially aware artists, like Sophie Goldstein and Jennifer Jordan, and our Patreon supporters who have helped make 2016 a successful year! So pull up a chair, strap on the bib, pass the gravy, and settle into the warm, cozy goodness of The Seven People with PhDs Talking about Comics. And remember: the tryptophan will kick in later.
Last weekend, Andy W. and Derek attended Small Press Expo in Bethesda, MD. While there, they were able to interview a variety of creators about their recent releases, their larger body of work, and any future projects they may be working on. The result was an impressive collection of interviews -- 28 in all -- each of which lasted from anywhere between 5 minutes to over 20 minutes. The guys have now edited these conversations and are presenting them in a series of three on-location interview episodes conducted at SPX. In this first installment, Derek and Andy talk with Derf Backderf, Theora Kvitka, Ethan Riley, Miss Lasko-Gross, Stuart & Kathryn Immonen, Jennifer Jordan & Sophie Goldstein, Gina Wynbrandt, Julian Hanshaw, Kristen Gudsnuk, Rune Ryberg, Ben Towle, Cole Closser, and Meags Fitzgerald. The exhibition hall of SPX was packed, and, as a result, the din of the crowd was at times difficult to talk over. But the Two Guys persevered, despite the sound challenges. Sometimes they talked with the creators at their tables, and at other times -- such as the interviews with Cole Closser and Meages Fitzgerald -- they were able to find a space outside of the hall that demonstrated less auditory chaos. Two other episodes of on-location interviews will be released on Friday and Saturday. Derek's much longer conversation with Bill Griffith was released separately. But for now, enjoy the smooth, creamy, indie goodness of today's installment.
