Today, on Crime & Entertainment, we have Jia Rizvi. Jia is a documentary filmmaker who got her start on wrongful conviction cases by selling #FreeAdnan T-shirts. She was then introduced to a man named Jeffrey Deskovic. Jeffrey spent over 16 years in prison, wrongfully convicted, and thankfully he was eventually exonerated due to DNA evidence. Once Jia dug into this wrongful conviction case, she realized there was an important message the world needed to hear in regard to so many innocent people sitting in prisons. What started as a short film has now bloomed into a full-blown documentary, and she discusses this journey on the show today.

As temperatures climb across northern China, willow and poplar catkins are expected to fill the air, raising seasonal concerns during the Qingming Festival holiday this week, weather officials said on Tuesday.气象部门周二表示，随着华北地区气温回升，预计本周清明节期间杨柳花絮将飘散，引发季节性关注。Huang Zhuo, deputy director of the National Meteorological Center, said the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei province region, as well as Shandong province and Shaanxi province, will enter peak shedding periods for white poplar and weeping willow catkins in early April, affecting public health and daily activities.国家气象中心副主任黄卓表示，京津冀地区以及山东、陕西省将在4月初进入白杨和垂柳花絮飘散高峰期，对公众健康和日常活动产生影响。Catkin season typically runs from late March to early May, with weather playing a crucial role in their release. Rising temperatures, strong sunlight and dry air accelerate the maturation and dispersal of catkins, Huang said.杨柳絮季节通常从3月下旬持续到5月上旬，天气对柳絮的飘散起着至关重要的作用。黄卓表示，气温升高、强烈的阳光和干燥的空气会加速柳絮的成熟和飘散。"When daily average temperatures exceed 15 C for at least three consecutive days and sunlight lasts more than six hours, female poplar and willow trees release large amounts of catkins," he said. Dry conditions, with humidity below 70 percent, and light winds also contribute to their spread.“当连续三天日平均气温超过15摄氏度，日照时间超过6小时时，雌性杨柳树会飘散大量柳絮，”他说。湿度低于70%的干燥条件和微风也会助长柳絮的飘散。Authorities advised residents to take precautions when outdoors.专家建议居民外出时采取预防措施。"People should wear masks and protective eyewear, choose clothing that does not easily attract catkins, and avoid outdoor exposure between 10 am and 4 pm, when dispersal is at its peak," Huang said.“人们应该戴口罩和护目镜，选择不容易粘附柳絮的衣服，并且尽量避免在上午10点至下午4点这段飘絮最严重的时段外出。”黄卓说。He also recommended residents keep windows closed, install air filters and either use a vacuum cleaner or a damp cloth to remove catkins that enter homes. Drivers should keep car windows shut and use air conditioning while traveling.他还建议居民关上窗户，安装空气过滤器，使用吸尘器或湿布清除进入家中的柳絮。司机在行驶时应关上车窗并使用空调。Catkin season comes as northern China is experiencing dust storms, further complicating air quality.柳絮季节到来之际，中国北方地区还面临沙尘暴的情况，进一步影响空气质量。Jia Xiaolong, deputy head of the National Climate Center, said China experienced four major dust storms in March.国家气候中心副主任贾小龙表示，中国在3月份经历了四次大范围沙尘暴。"Five to six more events are expected in April, with slightly above-average intensity," Jia said, adding that the risk remains high in Northeast and North China.“预计4月份还会有五到六次沙尘暴，强度略高于平均水平，”贾小龙补充说，东北和华北地区的风险仍然很高。Meteorologists are advising farmers nationwide to prepare for regional weather risks this month, paying close attention to waterlogging and other threats that could affect spring plowing and crop growth.气象学家建议全国农民为本月的区域性天气风险做好准备，密切关注可能影响春耕和农作物生长的涝灾和其他威胁。willow and poplar catkins杨柳花絮dispersaln.飘散consecutiveadj.连续的vacuum cleaner吸尘器dust storm沙尘暴meteorologistn.气象学家waterloggingn.涝灾

Filmmaking can be a powerful tool for advocacy and storytelling. Understanding the criminal justice system is crucial for effective storytelling. Ethics in storytelling must be prioritized to avoid re-traumatizing subjects. Real stories deserve genuine representation without sensationalism. The emotional toll of filmmaking can be significant for creators. Advocacy for wrongfully convicted individuals is a driving force for many filmmakers. Personal experiences shape the passion for storytelling and advocacy. Creating a comfortable environment is key for interviews. Silence can encourage subjects to share more. Authenticity in storytelling is crucial. Many people are unaware of the prevalence of wrongful convictions. Documentaries can significantly influence public perception. Interviewing requires a balance of structure and flow. Emotional narratives can be challenging to navigate. The impact of wrongful convictions extends beyond the individual.

We're thrilled to be joined by Natalie Ng, a huge Edward Yang fan and friend of the podcast, to dive into Yang's feature debut, That Day, On The Beach! Natalie, who works at the Asian Film Archive, tells us about AFA's recent Edward Yang retrospective (complete with a physical exhibition) and shares her deep love for Yang's work.Together, we explore the film's place in Yang's filmography, its inventive narrative structure, and how it set the stage for his later masterpieces. Natalie highlights the agency of female characters in the film, while Ben argues that De-wei should have been hotter. Wilson leads us in discussing Christopher Doyle's first feature work as a cinematographer and the stylistic choices of the film, and we very importantly discuss Sylvia Chang's iconic perm, and whether girlbossing is an ideal ending for Yang's female characters.Links:Natalie's Letterboxd review on That Day, On The BeachFollow Natalie on X (@schatzepages), Letterboxd (@wednesdaydreams), and read her writing on filmedinether.com.That Day, On Our FREE patreon, discord server, and our socials @ www.deepcutpod.comTimestamps:(00:00) Intro(11:17) General Reactions(25:18) Natalie's personal reaction to the film(29:47) Melodrama and female agency(34:35) Edward Yang's “Women without men” + Digression into other Yang films(41:49) Ending of That Day(45:47) Qing-qing and Jia-sen's roles in the story(50:52) Jia-li's love interests(54:40) Tone and filmic style(01:02:55) Other films That Day relates to(01:07:15) Babies(01:10:32) The Perm and costumes(01:15:04) Yang's early fascination with women's stories(01:21:36) Wrap-up

In this episode of Bewitched: Breaking the Spell When Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong, Dr. Robyn McKay and Alyse Bacine sit down with Jia, a sharp, intuitive leader who found herself caught up in the world of high-level spiritual mentorship—until things took a turn.Jia was with Robyn and Alyse in Santa Fe for what was supposed to be a transformational business and personal development retreat. Later, she traveled to Croatia with the same mentor, “Betty,” and got a front-row seat to the dark side of mentorship gone wrong. From sleep deprivation to gaslighting, from over-the-top paranoia to questioning every major life decision—this episode is a real talk on what happens when spiritual leadership gets messy.If you've ever looked up to a mentor, only to realize they weren't who you thought they were, this conversation is for you. Jia shares her experience with refreshing honesty (and a little humor), reminding us all how easy it is to get caught up in someone else's version of the truth—and how powerful it is to reclaim your own.How Jia got pulled into this mentorship—and the early red flags she missedThe Santa Fe retreat experience: belonging, excitement, and the start of subtle influenceHow sleep deprivation, social dynamics, and paranoia set the stage for deeper manipulationWhat went down in Croatia (spoiler: it wasn't just a relaxing getaway)The wake-up moment: when Jia realized she needed to get outThe process of untangling from a mentor's influence and finding her own truth againLessons in discernment: how to spot the difference between true guidance and controlEven smart, intuitive people can get caught up in unhealthy mentorship dynamics.If a mentor is making big statements about your life that you didn't ask for, it's okay to step back and question it.Just because someone has a strong presence doesn't mean they have all the answers.Trusting your intuition is always more important than following someone else's vision for you.Real mentorship is about guidance, not control—and the best leaders help you trust yourself more, not less.If this episode hit home, we'd love to hear from you.

What if the person you trusted as your spiritual mentor was actually casting a spell to manipulate your mind, isolate you from loved ones, and hijack your reality? In this explosive episode of our "Bewitched" series, I sit down with Dr. Robyn McKay and Jia Dafu to unravel a story of spiritual manipulation, emotional abuse, and the dark underbelly of high-control coaching. Jia bravely shares her experience working with "Betty", a so-called spiritual mentor whose toxic tactics went far beyond typical coaching.From sleep deprivation to planting seeds of paranoia about family and loved ones, Betty created a cult-like environment where truth and lies became indistinguishable. Jia opens up about how Betty's insidious methods of gaslighting, emotional isolation, and mind games left her questioning her own sanity.We dive into the bizarre dynamics of "energetic agreements", the manipulation of spiritual gifts, and the trauma bonds that formed when vulnerability was weaponized. You'll hear how Betty convinced Jia to break off relationships, adopt a delusional identity, and even channel business strategies that were stolen and marketed as Betty's own work.This episode is a wake-up call for anyone navigating spiritual and coaching spaces. We're not holding back as we expose the dangerous patterns of cult-like mentorship, share how to spot red flags, and discuss the reclamation of self-sovereignty after spiritual abuse.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS(00:00) Intro(01:41) Episode Recap on Instagram(02:23) In Today's Episode...Jia Dafu(03:08) Special Bonuses on The Mothership(06:48) Jia's Naive Start and Initial Impressions(09:49) Santa Fe Retreat - The Taker Element and The Delusional Confidence(18:10) Dark Psychological Practices(26:58) Mind Block and Manipulations(32:36) Life Changes After Santa Fe - Inverted Portals(38:44) The Croatia Retreat - The Big Being(44:26) Spell Casting and Paranoia(51:53) Psychotic Breakdown, Silent Resistance and The Mysterious Enemy(01:00:00) Returning Home: The Shift.

he rapid rise of DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence company, is reshaping the AI industry and prompting market players to explore new possibilities, experts said at the 2025 Global Developer Conference, which concluded Sunday.专家在周日闭幕的 2025 全球开发者大会上表示，中国人工智能公司深度求索（DeepSeek）的迅速崛起正在重塑人工智能产业，并促使市场参与者探索新的可能性。DeepSeek specializes in large language models, particularly in coding - related AI, and aims to provide high - performance models with efficient training. The company, based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, gained global attention last month after launching its AI reasoning models. The models are fully open source, cheaper to train and perform on par with leading global counterparts.深度求索专注于大语言模型，尤其是与编码相关的人工智能领域，致力于提供高性能且训练高效的模型。这家位于浙江省杭州市的公司，在上个月推出其人工智能推理模型后获得了全球关注。这些模型完全开源，训练成本更低，性能与全球领先的同类模型相当。"I hope not just Chinese AI companies, but other global AI companies learn from what DeepSeek is doing. Starting by open - sourcing your software …they've made it really financially approachable to build your own language models," said Andrew Aitken, a technical oversight committee member of the Linux Foundation's FINOS Foundation. "They've done that really well, and the rest of the world can learn from that."Linux 基金会旗下金融科技开源基金会（FINOS Foundation）技术监督委员会成员安德鲁・艾特肯（Andrew Aitken）表示：“我希望不仅是中国的人工智能公司，全球其他人工智能公司都能从深度求索的做法中学习。从软件开源做起…… 他们让构建自己的语言模型在经济成本上变得切实可行。他们这一点做得非常好，世界其他地区可以从中学习。”Industry experts at the conference expressed admiration for DeepSeek - R1, one of the company's latest AI developments.参会的行业专家对深度求索的最新人工智能成果之一 —— 深度求索 - R1 表示赞赏。"DeepSeek's open - source adoption has set a role model for how AI can benefit everybody," said Gu Ruiquan, product director at Lanyun Technology. "It helps create an ecosystem to build better AI products because everybody can stand on the shoulders of giants."蓝云科技产品总监顾瑞泉表示：“深度求索对开源的应用，为人工智能如何让每个人受益树立了榜样。它有助于创建一个生态系统，以打造更出色的人工智能产品，因为每个人都能站在巨人的肩膀上。”Gu added that as costs decline, demand for computing power is rising across the industry, creating new opportunities for AI development.顾瑞泉补充说，随着成本下降，整个行业对计算能力的需求不断上升，这为人工智能的发展创造了新机遇。Experts said DeepSeek's open - source approach is driving the growth of similar models, accelerating AI applications across various industries.专家表示，深度求索的开源方式正在推动类似模型的发展，加速人工智能在各个行业的应用。"I am extremely excited about the outlook of large models, which can now be developed in a cheaper, faster, better and more efficient way," said Jia Anya, product director at SenseTime.商汤科技产品总监贾安雅说：“我对大模型的前景感到无比兴奋，现在可以以更便宜、更快速、更优质且更高效的方式开发大模型。”"The recent breakthroughs in AI indicate that integration can happen more quickly, reasoning can be accelerated with large models, AI capabilities can be further optimized and better AI applications will be developed," Jia said.贾安雅说：“人工智能领域近期的突破表明，整合可以更快实现，借助大模型可以加速推理，人工智能能力可以进一步优化，还会开发出更出色的人工智能应用。”Shen Haozhan, an algorithm expert at OM AI Lab, said DeepSeek's success highlights how AI models can be developed at significantly lower costs and provides a roadmap for other companies to train their own models.欧姆人工智能实验室（OM AI Lab）算法专家沈浩展表示，深度求索的成功凸显了人工智能模型可以以显著更低的成本进行开发，并为其他公司训练自己的模型提供了路线图。"I am personally inspired by DeepSeek's open - source strategy.

The city's AI market reached a scale of more than 450 billion yuan ($62 billion) last year, and it has hosted the World Artificial Intelligence Conference for seven consecutive years and filed 60 large models.陈杰指出，在工业和信息化部的指导下，上海在技术创新、产业金融合作以及国际合作方面取得了重大进展。去年，上海人工智能市场规模超过 4500 亿元（620 亿美元），已连续七年举办世界人工智能大会，并提交了 60 个大模型。"I'm really impressed with what Shanghai has done around AI. Large corporations are investing in AI, and the government is providing incentives, support and investment to grow the developer community and focus on open source. Shanghai is really positioning itself as a leader in this space," Aitken said.艾特肯说：“上海在人工智能领域所做的工作给我留下了深刻印象。大型企业在人工智能领域投资，政府为壮大开发者社区并聚焦开源提供激励措施、支持和投资。上海正切实将自己定位为这一领域的领军者。”As open - source AI models continue to evolve, Shanghai will leverage its strengths as a megacity and accelerate efforts to establish itself as an internationally influential AI hub, Chen added.陈杰补充说，随着开源人工智能模型不断发展，上海将发挥其作为特大城市的优势，加快努力将自身打造成具有国际影响力的人工智能中心。重点词汇：reshape [ˌriːˈʃeɪp] 动词，重塑specialize [ˈspeʃəlaɪz] 动词，专门从事；专注于influential [ˌɪnfluˈenʃl] 形容词，有影响力的ecosystem [ˈiːkəʊsɪstəm] 名词，生态系统breakthrough [ˈbreɪkθruː] 名词，突破conventional [kənˈvenʃənl] 形容词，传统的

We’re excited to introduce you to a show we know you’ll love: Talk Easy. Hosted by Sam Fragoso, Talk Easy is a weekly series of intimate conversations with artists, activists, and politicians—where people sound like people. Writer Jia Tolentino (The New Yorker) became a literary sensation in 2019 upon the release of her best-selling essay collection, Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion. She joins us this week to ring in 2025. We start by discussing the erosion of privacy online, the potentially forthcoming TikTok ban, and how she circumvented self-surveillance technology in her Hidden Pregnancy Experiment for The New Yorker. Then, we unpack how data is monetized online, as depicted in an unsettling scene from Succession, the harmful effects of screen time on children, and her writerly upbringing in Houston. On the back-half, Jia recounts a formative summer in Venice, her subsequent decade working at The Hairpin and Jezebel, the trad wife phenomenon, how she swings between pessimism and optimism, and why writing still retains the power to liberate.

Episode SummaryA proprioception-enthusiast and a thespian walk into a podcast booth. Together, they engage with scholars from three different fields outside of those traditionally working with and through the sense of proprioception. From spatial music mixing, to arts education, to English literature, our hosts learn how these scholars understand and apply the sense of proprioception for their work. Through the engagement process, the proprioception-enthusiast and the thespian come to understand the affordances of proprioception for framing bodies in space and time and refigure how they understand the space between you and me. Works CitedMerrill, Gary. “Proprioception and Balance” from Our Intelligent Bodies.

In this episode of the Language on the Move Podcast, Tazin Abdullah speaks with Dr. Jia Li, Professor of Applied Sociolinguistics at Yunnan University, China. Tazin and Jia discuss crisis communication in a linguistically diverse world and a new book co-edited by Dr. Jia Li and Dr. Jie Zhang called Multilingual Crisis Communication: Insights from China (Routledge, 2024) that gives us insights into the lived experiences of linguistic minorities affected during the Covid-19 pandemic. Multilingual Crisis Communication is the first book to explore the lived experiences of linguistic minorities in crisis-affected settings in the Global South, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic. China has been selected as a case of inquiry for multilingual crisis communication because of its high level of linguistic diversity. Taking up critical sociopolitical approaches, this book conceptualizes multilingual crisis communication from three dimensions: identifying communication barriers, engaging communication repertoires, and empowering communication justice. Comprising eight main chapters, along with an introduction and an epilogue, this edited book is divided into three parts in terms of the demographic and social conditions of linguistic minorities, as indigenous, migrant, and those with communicative disabilities. This book brings together a range of critical perspectives of sociolinguistic scholars, language teachers, and public health workers. Each team of authors includes at least one member of the research community with many years of field work experience, and some of them belong to ethnic minorities. These studies can generate new insights for enhancing the accessibility and effectiveness of multilingual crisis communication. This book will be of interest to academics and postgraduate students in the fields of multilingualism, intercultural communication, translation and interpreting studies, and public health policy.

Episode 180: Pediatric Hip PainFuture Dr. Pena-Brockett explains the differential diagnosis in a 14-year-old patient who has a new onset of left hip pain. Dr. Arreaza adds comments and explains toxic synovitis.  Written by Natalie Pena-Brockett, MSIV, California Health Sciences University. Comments 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.Having a limping kid can be terrifying. Many questions may cross your mind: Is this a permanent damage? What is going on here? Where is the pain located? Do I need to send this child to the hospital? Today, hopefully, we can help you ease some of your fears. Case: This is a 14-year-old boy with no past medical history, no trauma, presents to the family medicine clinic with a complaint of left-sided hip pain. Mom notes that her son has been limping for the last week and complaining of pain in his left hip and knee when he walks. He has never experienced this pain before this week. He does not take any medications. Physical exam: He is afebrile and all of his vitals are within normal limits. On exam, you note that his BMI is at the 90th percentile (overweight), and has an antalgic gait where he is favoring the right side and has tenderness on his left groin. His left foot is turned outward while standing up straight. His left knee has negative findings on specialized tests, but he has restricted movement of the left hip. Discussion: This is a common topic that you will see on board exams or limping into your office. Although pediatric hip pain may seem like a benign musculoskeletal concern, taking the time to take a complete history and perform a thorough physical exam is critical to assess the severity of the patient's concern.Physical Exam for Pediatric Hip Pain.Observation: Every physical exam begins the moment you first see the patient. This allows you to gauge the patient's comfort level, the natural stature, length, and positioning of the patient's extremities, skin changes, gait, and ability to bear weight. Palpation: In medicine, our hands are one of our greatest tools for evaluating patients, especially those with musculoskeletal concerns. This is the time to palpate the area for any tenderness or gross deformities of the pelvis, hip, knee, or leg. Special Tests: In the world of MSK, we have all sorts of tests to evaluate the range of movement of our joints and tendons. When specifically evaluating the hip, the most common are the FABER(flexion, abduction, external rotation),test to assess the sacroiliac joint, Ober's Test to assess the iliotibial band, and Straight Leg Raise to assess for lumbar radiculopathy.Legg-Calve Perthes Disease-Legg-Calve Perthes disease is an idiopathic avascular necrosis of the femoral head. -It is most commonly observed in patients between the ages of 2-12 years and in a higher ratio of males to females 1. -It often manifests as an atraumatic limp with limited movement in abduction and internal rotation. -X-ray imaging may demonstrate a widening of the joint space and sclerosis of the femur, and MRI will confirm osteonecrosis of the femoral head. -Early diagnosis is key to minimizing the risk of developing osteoarthritis of the hip. -The goal of treatment is to maintain the shape of the femoral head and the range of motion of the hip. -The first-line treatment includes managing pain with NSAIDs, limiting weight-bearing activity, and physical therapy for range of motion.-If the disease progresses, bracing and casting can be used to retain the femoral head within the acetabulum to keep the shape and integrity of the femoral head. In more serious cases, a surgical osteotomy may be done to cut and realign the bones. Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)-Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a pediatric condition that results in unilateral or bilateral instability of the hip due to the abnormal development of the acetabulum or femur. -This is most commonly seen in newborns, especially those which develop in a breech position. -These patients often present with a shortened leg or asymmetric gluteal creases and a Trendelenburg gait when walking. -The Trendelenburg gait is an abnormal gait caused by weak hip abductor muscles. The person's trunk shifts over the affected hip during the stance phase of walking and away from it during the swing phase, making it look like the person is missing steps or limping. -On physical exam, hip joint laxity can be evaluated with the Ortolani and Barlow maneuvers to apply pressure to the proximal femur to assess dislocatability of the hip joints. These maneuvers would both be considered positive if a “clunk” is felt over the hip as this means that the hip is dislocated with pressure. Due to the patient's age usually being under 6 months old, ultrasound is the most common imaging modality to confirm the diagnosis, otherwise, an X-ray can be used. -The treatment in patients under 18 months old, a Pavlik Harness is often used to treat patients to maintain the placement of the hip within the acetabulum. -Patients between the ages of 18 months and 9 years old, are most often treated with open or closed reduction of the hip. -There is generally less success in reduction treatment of children older than 9 years old as they have likely developed femoral head deformities and are at greater risk of osteonecrosis. -Children with DDH should continue to be monitored with regular imaging to evaluate for complications. These patients should also be made aware that they are also at increased risk of requiring a hip replacement, especially if their treatment included a reduction. 2Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE)-Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) is one of the most common pediatric hip pathologies in which the capital femoral epiphysis is anterolaterally displaced from the femoral neck. -Although slightly more common in males than females between the ages of 10 to 16, the greatest risk factor for an SCFE is childhood obesity 3. -Common symptoms include an insidious onset of unilateral hip pain and a change in gait due to the displacement of the hip from the acetabulum. In some instances of chronic SCFE, some patients will experience ipsilateral knee pain due to compensation. -A SCFE can be evaluated with an AP radiograph which will demonstrate a widened physis in the early stages or the classic “slipped ice cream cone sign” which is the posterior displacement of the femoral epiphysis. -Management of a SCFE includes limiting weight-bearing activities as well as screw fixation by an orthopedic surgeon to stabilize the hip.Patients should consider pinning the contralateral hip due to increased risk of developing a future SCFE. Early diagnosis is critical as untreated SCFE can lead to osteonecrosis.Osgood-Schlatter-Osgood-Schlatter is a repetitive-use pediatric condition as a result of traction to the growth plate of the tibial tubercle. -This pathology is most common in male children between the ages of 9 to 14 years old 4. -Active athletes or children with rapid growth spurts are at greater risk of developing Osgood-Schlatter than non-active children.-These children often present with an achy knee pain that can lead to a unilateral limping gait.  On physical exam, these patients often have a bony prominence over the tubercle that is tender to palpation with greater tenderness over the patellar tendon. -The knee will have full range of motion and stability, but will likely have a warmth and erythema over the knee.  Imaging of the knees can have nonspecific findings and diagnosis is made clinically. -For management, it is recommended that children continue their regular activities and rest with NSAIDs for pain management as needed 5. Physical therapy can be prescribed to prevent deconditioning as this can result in recurrence or additional injuries.Arreaza: It seems like the pain is more localized to the knee, but it can be referred to the hip. If you have tenderness on the tibial tubercle, you got the diagnosis. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)-Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a systemic rheumatologic condition in children that often presents as a polyarticular pain. The onset of disease is often bimodal with peaks between 2 to 5 years old and 10 to 14 years old. 6-Patients will often complain of minor symmetric joint pain and stiffness until an infection causes an inflammatory reaction that exacerbates the joint pain or can increase joint involvement. Small joints are the most likely to be involved, but hips and knees can also be affected. -Lab evaluation will demonstrate inflammation with an elevated ESR, low hemoglobin, and a positive ANA. -Disease management starts with NSAIDS for pain control and can escalate to immunosuppressive measures for moderate disease7.Toxic Synovitis-Toxic synovitis, also known as transient synovitis, is the leading cause of acute hip pain and limping in children aged 2–12, more commonly affecting boys. -This self-limited inflammatory condition, often confused by its name as "toxic," has no relation to a toxic state. It typically arises after an upper respiratory or other viral infection (e.g., rubella or coxsackie virus).-Children with toxic synovitis may show mild to moderate hip pain, limp, and keep their hip in abduction and external rotation. Movement is usually possible within a limited range, and weight-bearing is often maintained.-Evaluation: A thorough history and physical exam are key, as laboratory tests like CBC, ESR, and CRP are often normal, mainly used to rule out other conditions like septic arthritis. X-rays typically show no abnormalities, although small changes may appear. Ultrasound can help detect joint effusion and rule out septic arthritis if no effusion is present.Arreaza: DDX: DDH, SCFE, Osgood Schlatter, and toxic synovitis.Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment in Pediatric Hip PathologiesSacroiliac Articulatory Technique- this is a technique in which you move the joint into an out of its barrier to reduce restriction and improve movementCounterstrain of Tender points (psoas, piriformis, hip adductors)- in this technique we shorten the muscle to decrease tension.  This allows the muscle to increase blood lymphatic flow to reduce nociceptive and proprioceptive activity of the muscleBalanced Ligamentous Tension of the Innominate- with this technique, we manipulate the joint in a way that moves the ligaments into neutral position so that there is balance in all planes of motion.  The goal is to again release tension within the muscles and the jointClinical Decision Making Now that we have covered the most common differential diagnoses for pediatric hip pain, let's revisit our patient presentation and identify the key characteristics to determine which diagnosis he most likely has.The patient is 14 years old.  This makes DDH and Legg-Calve Perthe less likely, and SCFE more likely.He has been complaining of symptoms for 1 week, which indicates that is not likely a chronic condition. This makes DDH and Osgood-Schlatter less likely.The patient has never experienced joint pain like this before.  This makes JIA, DDH, and Osgood-Schlatter less likely.The patient is overweight. This makes SCFE more likely.The unilateral hip tenderness and no knee pain.      This makes Osgood-Schlatter and JIA less likely.The patient has antalgic gait and limited internal rotation of the foot. This makes Legg-Calve Perthes and SCFE more likely. Now when we take the epidemiological factors, the history of the present illness, and the physical exam findings into account, this patient's presentation best aligns with a SCFE. We would order a bilateral AP and Frog-leg views of the hips. If either imaging shows a widened physis or the classic “ice cream cone sign”, this is when we would start the referral process for an orthopedic surgery consultation for internal fixation. As family medicine physicians, we would give instructions for strict non-weight bearing activities and analgesics or anti-inflammatories for pain management.Keep in mind some of the DDX: Calve Legg-Perthes disease, Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH), Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), Osgood Schlatter, toxic synovitis, and Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE). Hopefully, the next time you have a pediatric patient present with a complaint of hip pain, you'll feel more comfortable evaluating and working up the case._________________________This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Natalie Pena-Brockett.

Jia Tolentino has the internet to thank for some of her biggest successes. In the 2000s, it offered her connections beyond her strict religious community and gave her a place to share her writing with her millennial peers. Her “online” insights carved out a niche at The New Yorker, and her 2019 essay collection, Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion, made a big splash with readers who felt similarly mired in digital disillusion. But these days she's swearing off social media and seeking out the sublime elsewhere. Jia and I discuss the joys and perils of living life online (or even adjacent to it), the unexpected impacts of digital surveillance, and what all of this means for raising children.  Follow me on Instagram at @davidduchovny.

Jia Sung is a Singaporean Chinese artist and educator whose practice spans painting, artist books, textiles, printmaking, writing, and translation. Drawing on motifs from Chinese mythology and Buddhist iconography, Sung uses the familiar visual language of folklore to examine and subvert conventional archetypes of femininity, queerness and otherness. Her recent work explores threads of ecofeminism, ethnoecology, the ecological capacities of the body, invasive species as family, and the potentials of collective and constant human transformation through interspecies dynamics. Her approach draws from that of the Chinese zhiguai tradition, that genre of ‘strange tales' cannot be translated directly through the lens of horror. The supernatural, the monstrous, the spiritual, seep into the tidy confines of ordinary existence, often humorous, arbitrary, smearing at the boundaries of our reality and then slinking away just as rapidly. Here is shapeshifter, here is trickster, things that inhabit liminal space and refuse to be held in place or form; the profane invades the interior, wilderness enters the domestic space, phenomena defy causation and morality, creature refutes taxonomy.

“I'm going to use the restroom real quick.” Jia's husband opens his eyes and looks at his phone. It's 1AM. The two of them are on an overnight train heading home. He blinks before ripping his blanket off to escort his wife -  “No, it's okay. I have my phone with me. Just stay here. I'll be back quick.” She leaves for the restroom - careful to not wake up any of the other passengers in the sleeper carriage. She climbs down the bunk bed steps and balances through the aisle to the restroom.  BAM. Jia's husband eye's fly open and he checks the time. 1:30AM. It's been thirty minutes and his wife is not back from the restroom. Strange…  He searches the entire carriage before alerting the train conductor…  “Please you have to help my wife is missing!” The train conductor smiles at him. “Don't be ridiculous. Nobody goes missing on a moving train.” Full Source Notes: rottenmangopodcast.com To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.
