In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis speaks with John McClellan, a military trauma surgeon, about the use of Tranexamic Acid (TXA) in trauma care. They discuss the mechanism of TXA, its applications in pre-hospital settings, potential complications, and evolving dosing strategies. John emphasizes the importance of TXA in managing hemorrhage and the need for standardized protocols in trauma care, especially for medics in the field. Takeaways TXA is a lysine analog that helps stabilize clots. The ideal patient for TXA is anyone suspected of needing massive transfusion. TXA is considered a low-risk drug for trauma patients. Pre-hospital administration of TXA is crucial for patient outcomes. Complications from TXA are not increasing significantly. Current dosing strategies for TXA are evolving towards higher initial doses. Preloading TXA can save time in emergency situations. TXA has solidified its role in trauma care over the years. Understanding the pharmacokinetics of TXA is essential for effective use. Standardized protocols are vital for medics in the field.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is share our stories- to bear witness to God's faithfulness in our own lives and in the midst of our trials. John McClellan graciously shares with us his history of fighting anxiety and mental health. In doing so, he shows us that even in the midst of dark days and an uncertain future, God was still with him. John's testimony can be a help to anyone struggling to know if God is there or if you're in this alone.

Today’s top headlines: 13 in Floyd, Redmond with COVID-19; state adds 123 more. Monday sees 2,207 new cases in Georgia. Kemp extends public health state of emergency, safety protocol. Cartersville man now faces murder, three other counts following Sunday evening shooting. Politics: District 14 GOP hopefuls John Cowan, Marjorie Taylor Greene in televised debate July 19-20. Floyd Democrats set virtual meeting for Thursday. Business: Prime downtown Rome spot on the market for $450,000 — with parking. Ware Mechanical Weather Center: Another steamer on the way with a heat index of 98. Rain possible on Independence Day, that evening. Truett’s Chick-Fil-A Sports Report: Amid pandemic, a centennial celebration for the Negro Leagues. MLB camps open Wednesday. Rant of the Day: "Upon further review ..." Keep a sharp eye on your sports feeds in coming days -- even if you don't like what you're about to read. Or hear. So what have we seen and heard -- all from reputable news and sports media? Ryan Zimmerman of the Washington Nationals says no thanks to Major League Baseball's shortened season, which technically starts with training camps on Wednesday. At least one other Nats' player has joined him. Other MLB teams are reporting players and coaches who have tested positive, including Minnesota. And as our colleague John McClellan points out, the most recent extension of social distancing and other pubic health protocols by Georgia's governor overlaps with the first weekend of high school football scrimmages. We imagine they'll find a way to properly social distance to comply but it will be tough. And should we worry that Fulton County Schools has opted to delay its start of the new year by a full week -- so far. High schools in Gwinnett County also report four coronavirus cases -- we hear a mix of players and coaches -- and the Georgia High School Association again is reminding schools to report positive virus tests. On Monday, we saw the first official report that a football conference -- the storied Ivy League -- was thinking of switching football to spring. Some college football teams already are canceling nonconference games. At Clemson, 37 players, coaches and staff have tested positive for the coronavirus. That follows the report from LSU. In Alabama, the loss of The Tide could cost the state more than $2 billion. A study from 2015-16 concluded Tuscaloosa alone could see $25 million in game-weekend revenue vanish with each game canceled. Some NBA players are skeptical of the season set to resume, including a lifestyle in the Disney bubble throughout the run. So who do we blame? We see it as a rushing penalty. Too many governors, Georgia's included, preached the need to reopen our state. On Monday, Brian Kemp extended the state's public health emergency until Aug. 11. That includes much-less stringent social distancing rules as well. He's busy taking selfies with him wearing a mask and urging Georgians to do the same. That's way short of what other governors are doing -- ordering masks if you're in public. And yet, the sports machines of America continue to hype the hype about sports being back. Yes, but so is the coronavirus. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/john-druckenmiller/support

The Last Hammer’s Blow for Mark Aspery Welcome to Blacksmither Radio, it’s Episode number 47 and today I have a very special guest to mark a change in the Hammer’s Blow editorship. If you are unfamiliar with what the Hammer’s Blow is, it’s a quarterly publication of technical blacksmith projects offered by the non-profit org ABANA. And today I have Mark Aspery here to talk about the end of his time being editor of the Hammer’s Blow. What we talk about: Mark talks about what it takes to put together one issue. He has asked the submitters to send him their forged example pieces for him to photograph because he already has the equipment and set-up. Then there is a discussion around the wording or text for the article. Mark creates a press ready pdf document in a specific software for editing and producing a magazine. Within each issue, Mark likes to have at around 4 to 5 different articles published. The goal for Mark has been to include beginner, intermediate and expert level forging projects. The Hammer’s Blow editor before Mark Aspery was Brian Gilbert. Brian included a useful tool section, some shop tours, Mark changed the structure a little by focusing on just the smithing. One of the things Mark has learned over the past 5 years is when anyone writes anything down about a specific technique, by the time they are finished writing, they will know more about that subject than they did at the start, it’s an educational process. What’s next for Mark? Two books are on the horizon: one all about locks, latches and hinges, and the second book will be a coffee table book about the ironwork in the Cathedral of Learning building on the campus of University of Pittsburg. Some of the ironwork includes pieces from Samuel Yellin. This winter Mark will have surgery on both of his hands, one at a time, due to a condition called “Viking Hand” (scarring of tissue). We talk about the upcoming ABANA conference in Salt Lake, Utah, July 13 – 16, 2016. The benefits of going to the conference include the social interaction, the demonstrations, the hands-on teaching tents, the tailgate sales and the competitions. The teaching tents will be split into two Each with about ten forging stations, with a mix of coal and propane forges. There will be six half-day teaching sessions and will be staffed by Darryl Nelson, John McClellan, Gerald Boggs, Gerald Franklin and Mark Aspery. Mark is pulling together some lunch time slots in the teaching tent for beginning demonstrators to “cut their teeth” and have a turn at teaching. Each competition will be divided into three levels: Novice – beginning or novice smith, Intermediate/Amateur smith and Open/Professional or strong Chain Making competition on Wednesday - How many links can you forge weld together to make a chain in a 20 minutes? Hints from Mark: Forge welds don’t have to be pretty, if it’s stuck, then it’s good Make a single link, and then make another single link and make the third “middle” link to chain them together. Then repeat that again - so you have two lengths of three links, then make another single link to connect two lengths together. The novice level will probably make 4 to 5 links, the intermediate level will make 6 to links and the open should make around 8 links. Try using the pritchel hole to make the “u” shape and in your shop (ahead of time) figure out how much of the round stock to put down the hole. Thursday’s Competition – Animal Heads with Darryl Nelson who will demonstrate a bear head just before the competition starts. Novice level – Create a two-dimensional animal head, tooling and 1 ¼ x ¼ flat bar provided Intermediate level – Create a three-dimensional animal head from 1-inch square stock, tooling provided. Open mouth optional. Open level – Create a three-dimensional animal head from 1 ½” square stock. Provide your own Friday's Competition – Tong making with John McClellan Novice level – Create simple twist Jaw tongs from 3/8” by 3/4” flat bar. Tongs should be able to hold ¼” flat bar. Tooling and material provided punched rivet hole and factory rivet. Intermediate level – Create scrolling tongs forged from 1” by 3/8” flat bar. Punched rivet hole and factory rivet. Open level – Create flat or open jaw tongs to hold ¼” flat bar. ¾” stock will be provided with a ½’” round bar for forge welding on reins, extra points for this! Punched rivet hole, factory rivet or handmade rivet from 3/8” bar. Mark’s tip on bringing punches for punching the rivet hole is to bring two punches. Buff the working ends so they are shiny, then drop the punch into a 3/8 inch hole to produce a ring of color on your punch. This will be the indicator of when your punched hole reaches the 3/8’s dimension. Another tip is to dress the outside top part of the reigns first with your hammer, so when you dress the inside part of the reign, the outside is then being flattened by the face of the anvil. Advice on making your own rivet for the tongs, bring a ½” nut to place under the tongs while forging the top of the rivet head. The length of the rivet should be ½” above the boss, ¾” for the width of the boss and another ½” below the boss. I’m going to start scoping and I have a plan to scope from the conference and competitions! So What is scoping? It’s called Periscope and it’s a free app for your mobile device (Android or iOS devices) that allows me to broadcast a live stream from anywhere and interact with the people watching you through our mobile devices – and it’s for free! I will be live streaming from blacksmithing events and from some of my podcast interviews. It’s super easy to use too! I’ll have instructions on how to get the app and set up a free account on the blacksmither website, in the blog section, I’ll also include it in my email newsletters too, so be sure you are signed up to receive my weekly emails. You can sign up by clicking the subscribe box on the About page of Blacksmither.com. Once you start to follow me or my handle @blacksmithervic the Periscope app will notify you when I will start a live broadcast. And if you miss the live broadcast, don’t worry, the replays are available on Periscope for 24 hours after the broadcast goes live. If you watch any of my live scopes in the future, know that you can interact with me through a comments field and with others that are watching.
