Welcome to today's episode of This Thing Called Life, where we delve into the ever-evolving care plan of organ, eye, and tissue donation. In this episode, we're joined by Andi Johnson and Dr. Jordan Bonomo to explore a key recommendation from the 2021 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) report aimed at transforming organ donation and transplantation practices to create a more equitable system. Dr. Bonomo shares insights into a groundbreaking initiative—the establishment of a donor care unit within UCMC's new Flex ICU. This innovative, first-of-its-kind model is designed to improve organ donation outcomes by providing comprehensive, compassionate care to both donors and their families. Tune in for this important conversation on enhancing the donor experience and advancing the future of organ donation.   Episode Highlights: Introducing Dr. Jordan Bonomo. He is a physician at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. He's the Medical Director of the flex ICU and a professor of Emergency Medicine, neurology, neurosurgery, and neurocritical care. He is also the attending physician for anesthesia, critical care, and ECMO, and he's the medical director for donor management, for Network For Hope, formerly Life Center.  Dr. Bonomo explains the long-term development of the Flex ICU, emphasizing its multifaceted purpose to serve critically ill patients and enhance organ donation capacity. The Flex ICU aims to provide specialized care for organ donors, improving the yield and survival rate of donated organs. Specialized units can focus on the needs of the donor from a physiological standpoint and the needs of the family from an emotional standpoint. This aims to provide a much more synchronized environment and holistic care for the families and adhere to the donor wishes. All the staff are fully trained and they're vetted and vested at the same time in the process of donation.  The purpose is to have the best donor care unit available anywhere in the country. The unit is staffed 24/7 by dedicated teams to support the mission of Network for Hope. The unit is limited to donors who have been declared dead by neurologic criteria. Note that in the month of October, the first month of the launch of Flex ICU, there were zero patients declared brain dead in the region. Dr. Bonomo explains the intentional design of the unit to accommodate donor families, offering them the option to be with their loved ones or to step back as needed. The Flex ICU aims to respect the wishes of donors and families, facilitating their involvement in the donation process. Dr. Bonomo discusses the potential impact of the Flex ICU on organ donation The goal is to optimize the process for donors, families, and organ recipients, balancing the need for timely transplantation with the potential for increased donation. Andi adds that the DCU, which is housed within the flex ICU, has been discussed as a key part of the flex ICU with providers, nurses, and physicians who will be working in this unit. The team is committed to doing right by donors, recognizing the privilege and obligation that comes with their role. The Flex ICU has attracted dedicated professionals who are passionate about improving organ donation and transplantation. The process of establishing the unit has been lengthy, involving multiple stakeholders and legal considerations.  He shares that this is an organ procurement organization initiative that really is somewhat independent of the healthcare system. The belief that donation can bring healing and good from tragedy has been a driving force for Dr. Bonomo.  Dr. Bonomo has a strong foundation in bioethics, having earned his undergraduate degree in the field. Throughout his career, organ donation has been a central focus of his work in biomedical ethics. Dr. Bonomo invites listeners to ask questions and seek education about the organ donation process. The importance of accurate information and understanding the process is important for effective collaboration and support. 3 Key Points:   Dr. Bonomo explains the long-term development of the Flex ICU, emphasizing its multifaceted purpose to serve critically ill patients and enhance organ donation capacity. The Flex ICU aims to provide specialized care for organ donors, improving the yield and survival rate of donated organs. The unit is limited to donors who have been declared dead by neurologic criteria. So brain dead donors, and brain dead vernacular term death by neurologic criteria.

Welcome to today's episode where we'll be exploring the fascinating world of dream psychology with the renowned clinical psychologist, Dr. Rubin Naiman. Sharing his unique philosophy on sleep,Dr. Naiman, discusses renegotiating our relationship with sleep and falling in love with it again. In this episode, we'll explore the benefits of sleep, how it affects our health and wellbeing, and why it's important to prioritize it.  Dr. Naiman will also share his insights on dreaming, the different types of dreams, and how writing them down can be a helpful tool for gaining insight and improving sleep quality. Additionally, we'll learn about the effects of food, oxygen, information, and light on our sleep patterns, and how we can make positive changes to enhance our overall sleep experience. So sit back, relax, and join us on this journey to better understand the power of sleep and dreams. KEY POINTS: Dr. Naiman is a clinical psychologist who specializes in dream psychology.Dr. Naiman's philosophy is that we are awake and dreaming at the same time, and he believes we need to renegotiate our relationship with sleep and fall in love with it again.Sleep is one of the four corners of our health, and the benefits of sleep include immunity, mood, hunger, and performance throughout the day.Sleep habits affect our eating, metabolism, and weight gain.We overconsume information, and information is stimulating and energizing.There's a rhythmic pattern of hemispheric oscillations in the brain that occurs roughly every 90 minutes, similar to the sleep cycle.The left hemisphere is dominant for about 70 minutes before it quiets down and the non-dominant hemisphere lights up, resulting in a more dreamy consciousness.There is a brief onset dream when we first fall asleep called a hypnogogic dream.Most of the first half of the night is spent in stage sleep with a little bit of REM sleep that usually starts about an hour and a half into sleep, and then those periods lengthen.There are two kinds of dreaming: vivid narrative-driven dreams that happen in REM sleep, and wispy dreams that happen in non-REM sleep.Writing down dreams can be helpful in gaining insight and being excited about sleeping.Taking time to calm down before bed and reading without screens can help improve sleep quality.Yoga can induce a relaxed state that is similar to a dreaming state, allowing for thoughts to come in and float out, resulting in a sense of completion.

We now have up to 5 generations in the workplace. Baby boomers, Gen Z, Millennials, you name it. Each generation views the world based on the time frame they moved through history; what were the popular tv shows, what new technology was released, and what was happening worldwide. This creates a 'generation gap' that is not necessarily negative; it is an opportunity to learn.

During this episode of This Thing Called Life podcast, host Andi Johnson talks to Dr. Govil,who has been in health care for many years, specifically working in the area of kidneys and kidney health He is a professor of medicine at UC Health as well as Director of Transplant and Chief Section of Transplantation.    Episode Highlights:  Dr. Govil shares has been in this field for over 20 years and he has dedicated more than 15 years of that time to take care of patients needing kidney transplants. Dr. Govil shares why he chose this area of medicine to practice in. One of Dr. Govil's first exposures as a medical resident was with a patient who had trace protein in the urine. All of them, as residents, ignored that component of lab finding and did not realize that their finding was a world-renowned figure in diabetic kidney disease. One in six of the US population is at risk for kidney disease, and more importantly, one in 10 out of the US has some element of kidney disease or chronic kidney disease. Dr. Govil says kidney disease is very silent. You may only have pain in the kidneys when you have physical problems like kidney stones or any cyst that is hurting you.  The only way you discover kidney disease is through the blood test and routine numbers analysis. Diet does play a role in making kidney disease worse or stable, but a lot of that has to be done with how we manage our primary disease, which is causing kidney disease.  It is very difficult to ask one patient to stop eating salt because everything we eat around us is loaded with salt, and it is very difficult to break that cycle, says Dr. Govil. Andi asks, “Is this kidney disease more prevalent here in America, or is it more prevalent in other parts of the world?” There are definitely certain aspects of kidney disease that we do not understand, which means that they may have familial clustering, says Dr. Govil. As we progress, we now can identify certain genes that make one more prone to have kidney disease, which does not mean that everyone who has it will present with it. Andi asks about Dr. Govil's experience specifically, “Do you see more of Caucasian patients? Do they seem to have more success in identifying living kidney donors? And if so, why do you think that is?” When we look at the transplant or people who are receiving dialysis, 1/3 of them are African American, which means that there is definitely more propensity of any disease in this group of patients than any other group. Dr. Govil says, “When we look at the number of people on the list compared to the people who get transplanted and then compare it to the number of people who are on dialysis, they just don't add up completely.” Dr. Govil clarifies the myth that kidney donation can harm a donor in the short run and in the long term. As per Dr. Govil, education is the key, and that is what he feels when he goes to multiple outreach clinics in the tri-state area, and he realizes a lot of these barriers are related to misinformation. Dr. Govil gives recommendations for keeping your kidneys healthy. Don't count on kidney pain as one of the symptoms because kidney pain really is not a symptom of kidney disease -that is just a mechanical problem, which could be because of a stone in the kidney or some cyst. Diseases are frightening in many aspects; These are things that could be prevented if we took the proper steps and proactively saw our doctors. Changes in organ allocation will generally increase some of the volume, but it will definitely increase the volume for certain centers to do more transplants. A donor that may have hepatitis is now able to give organs to the patient in need of a transplant, and then that can be treated, says Andi. The dialysis survival is really dismal over a period of time. So, a 10-year survival on dialysis is around 10%.   3 Key Points: Dr. Govil explains what leads someone to having kidney failure. We have to realize that the kidneys are affected by a lot of things that happen in our body, whether it be high blood pressure, diabetes, or any other changes that may be related to some problems happening at the level of the kidney itself. Kidney disease means we are in a tier of the kidney, which is a very silent process and so essentially, your kidneys really do not have to hurt and actually they do not hurt at all when you fail your kidneys over a period of time. If we have a healthy, balanced diet to stabilize our diabetes and high blood pressure, it will indirectly help keep our kidneys happy and healthy.

In this episode, Ralph Newell is joined by Dr. Robin DiAngelo, affiliate associate professor of education at the University of Washington and author of White Fragility: Why It's So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism, which was released in June 2018 and debuted on The New York Times Bestsellers List, where it remained for over three years.   Tune in as Dr. Robin DiAngelo discusses what “white fragility” is and why, while society's racial inequality is not the fault of white people individually, it is the individual's responsibility to help address it.   KEY POINTS: - Dr. Robin DiAngelo's path to racial and social justice education - Being white and poor versus being black and poor - Is white the default? - Why racial illiteracy is not benign, neutral, or innocent - What is white fragility? - Does everyone have racist tendencies or bias?   QUOTABLES: “When people say that learning about enslavement causes white children to feel guilt, why do you assume the white child can only identify with the slaveholder?” “A hallmark of white homes is that we certainly are not educated on our racial history. We know that and the efforts that are at play today will make it literally illegal for us to be educated on our racial history.” “The ultimate goal is that we come together across these divides. But white people are not in great shape to do that. We are racially illiterate. Most of us can't even answer the question, what does it mean to be white. Then you throw us in a room together and say, ‘let's talk about race and racism,' and a lot of damage gets done.”   GUEST RESOURCES: Learn more about Dr. Robin DiAngelo: robindiangelo.com   PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: Watch this video and others on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/user/Diversediversedivers Visit the Diverse: Issues In Higher Education website: diverseeducation.com Or follow us on social media: Twitter: twitter.com/diverseissues Instagram: instagram.com/diverseissuesinhighereducation Facebook: facebook.com/DiverseIssuesInHigherEducation/ Linkedin: linkedin.com/company/diverse-issues-in-higher-education Transcription services are available upon request.

Malcolm X referred to whiteness not as a complexion, but as a state of consciousness.” “White people really are just submerged as the norm. So I become the norm against which all other racial groups are measured against and considered in relation to.” “Let me address one thing that I often hear, which is the whole ‘preaching to the choir'.

There's research that says it's been going on for 30 years, 40 years, 50 years. It can go on 10 years from now, 20 years from now, but it's a matter of when do we start making meaningful and impactful action?

We have to acknowledge it, and we have to respect it.” “That's how we all learn. If we can connect to it, we understand why we're learning it.

During this episode of This Thing Called Life podcast, host Andi Johnson talks to Dr. Govil,who has been in health care for many years, specifically working in the area of kidneys and kidney health He is a professor of medicine at UC Health as well as Director of Transplant and Chief Section of Transplantation.    Episode Highlights:  Dr. Govil shares has been in this field for over 20 years and he has dedicated more than 15 years of that time to take care of patients needing kidney transplants. Dr. Govil shares why he chose this area of medicine to practice in. One of Dr. Govil's first exposures as a medical resident was with a patient who had trace protein in the urine. All of them, as residents, ignored that component of lab finding and did not realize that their finding was a world-renowned figure in diabetic kidney disease. One in six of the US population is at risk for kidney disease, and more importantly, one in 10 out of the US has some element of kidney disease or chronic kidney disease. Dr. Govil says kidney disease is very silent. You may only have pain in the kidneys when you have physical problems like kidney stones or any cyst that is hurting you.  The only way you discover kidney disease is through the blood test and routine numbers analysis. Diet does play a role in making kidney disease worse or stable, but a lot of that has to be done with how we manage our primary disease, which is causing kidney disease.  It is very difficult to ask one patient to stop eating salt because everything we eat around us is loaded with salt, and it is very difficult to break that cycle, says Dr. Govil. Andi asks, “Is this kidney disease more prevalent here in America, or is it more prevalent in other parts of the world?” There are definitely certain aspects of kidney disease that we do not understand, which means that they may have familial clustering, says Dr. Govil. As we progress, we now can identify certain genes that make one more prone to have kidney disease, which does not mean that everyone who has it will present with it. Andi asks about Dr. Govil's experience specifically, “Do you see more of Caucasian patients? Do they seem to have more success in identifying living kidney donors? And if so, why do you think that is?” When we look at the transplant or people who are receiving dialysis, 1/3 of them are African American, which means that there is definitely more propensity of any disease in this group of patients than any other group. Dr. Govil says, “When we look at the number of people on the list compared to the people who get transplanted and then compare it to the number of people who are on dialysis, they just don't add up completely.” Dr. Govil clarifies the myth that kidney donation can harm a donor in the short run and in the long term. As per Dr. Govil, education is the key, and that is what he feels when he goes to multiple outreach clinics in the tri-state area, and he realizes a lot of these barriers are related to misinformation. Dr. Govil gives recommendations for keeping your kidneys healthy. Don't count on kidney pain as one of the symptoms because kidney pain really is not a symptom of kidney disease -that is just a mechanical problem, which could be because of a stone in the kidney or some cyst. Diseases are frightening in many aspects; These are things that could be prevented if we took the proper steps and proactively saw our doctors. Changes in organ allocation will generally increase some of the volume, but it will definitely increase the volume for certain centers to do more transplants. A donor that may have hepatitis is now able to give organs to the patient in need of a transplant, and then that can be treated, says Andi. The dialysis survival is really dismal over a period of time. So, a 10-year survival on dialysis is around 10%.   3 Key Points: Dr. Govil explains what leads someone to having kidney failure. We have to realize that the kidneys are affected by a lot of things that happen in our body, whether it be high blood pressure, diabetes, or any other changes that may be related to some problems happening at the level of the kidney itself. Kidney disease means we are in a tier of the kidney, which is a very silent process and so essentially, your kidneys really do not have to hurt and actually they do not hurt at all when you fail your kidneys over a period of time. If we have a healthy, balanced diet to stabilize our diabetes and high blood pressure, it will indirectly help keep our kidneys happy and healthy.   Resources Mentioned: LifeCenter | website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube|  Twitter Andi Johnson  website |LinkedIn  Organ Donation Website  https://www.donatelife.net/nmdam/

During this episode of Real World Talk, host Zoe Li leads a conversation with Dr. Amy Abernethy, Principal Deputy Commissioner and acting CIO of the FDA, and Mike Doyle, the CEO of COTA. In 2020, the FDA has been a central part of addressing a lot of challenges that have surfaced in healthcare. In the interview, the three individuals discuss what everyone has learned throughout the pandemic and highlight what impacts lessons learned have on the future. Highlights Dr. Abernethy first initiates the conversation with a description of how she feels in the midst of the pandemic - a combination of being tired, bored and “ready for all of this to be over.” Dr. Abernethy mentions that she's also “fairly hopeful about the things that we've learned in the middle of this pandemic and what that's going to teach [us] about the future.” Zoe mentions that she's seen a number of organizations come together to solve the pandemic and there's been quite a bit of collaboration between providers, drug manufacturers, academia and regulatory bodies. Dr. Abernethy mentions how the collaboration to the response to COVID has several layers and it's really a whole life sciences in response. Mike Doyle introduces the concept of the Evidence Accelerator - a project that involves both the FDA and COTA. Mike discusses how a collaborative effort between Friends of Cancer Research, the Reagan-Udall Foundation, the Accelerator, and the FDA analyzed the question of hydroxychloroquine and whether or not it was going to be effective against COVID. Dr. Abernethy discusses some of the questions you try to answer with real world data and how it's different from what you might see in a more traditional clinical trial. Dr. Abernethy mentions how real world data are data sets that are collected outside of the traditional clinical trial. Dr. Abernethy highlights how the FDA has been exploring the role of real world evidence in a number of different ways - mostly compelled by the 21st Century Cures Act. Dr. Abernethy talks about how real world evidence can help us understand the story of COVID-19, what treatments people are receiving and treatment pattern information. Real world data can also help answer questions as it relates to vaccines, once those roll out in response to COVID-19. At FDA, the organization has had a long history of thinking about and working with real world data and real world evidence - one of the primary examples of that include the organization's Sentinel program (an effort to try and continue to monitor drugs across time after they've been approved and look for safety signals). Dr. Abernethy discusses the Evidence Accelerator and how it helps to supplement current real world data and real world evidence with new data sets and new capabilities. Zoe Li poses the question “how do we maintain the agility in data collection and data curation while ensuring that we're also being compliant and still incredibly robust in our analyses”? Zoe mentions two COVID-19 studies based on real world data how to be retracted from high profile medical journals due to a lack of transparency into the data source. Dr. Abernethy introduces a concept of “deliberate agility” - an acknowledgement to work fast, but not sloppy. Dr. Abernethy places a focus on transparency in the data - a “ruthless” transparency that is gained from a shared mechanism amongst all parties involved with a study. Dr. Abernethy discusses the role of real world data and how it relates to recruitment for clinical trials. Zoe mentions how there are a lot of lessons learned from this extended disruption with COVID-19 that could inform great design and improve clinical trial designs going forward. Dr. Abernethy notes two key roles of real world data and how the FDA can shape this story around use cases. Key Points Dr. Abernethy notes that the vaccine is a focus, but the FDA has quite a few layers to their involvement - “...we're the FDA. So our food supply is a concern for the FDA. And so we're very involved and thinking about supply chain for food and how do we make sure that we are continuing to monitor for foodborne illness and other concerns? Also when you think about it, this is a time when we're worried about whether or not our pets can get COVID-19 and whether or not there's issues within the veterinary space related to COVID-19.” Mike Doyle discusses the collaboration between COTA, FDA and other entities - “I've been proud of the effort of the private sector in joining the public sector to do greater good. You know, one of the things that COTA has done in a small way, has stepped up our analytics capabilities and surveillance capabilities under the leadership of Friends of Cancer Research, the Reagan-Udall Foundation, the Accelerator, and the FDA to work hand in glove, to really look at early evidence to ascertain whether or not some of the experimental treatments and drugs we're using in the field, were going to be a value.” During the episode, Dr. Abernethy defines the types of real world data - “Real world data can be retrospective. So data that already existed in some system somewhere, and may be getting cleaned up and ready for use. Or it may be prospective, such as pragmatic clinical trials, where patients are randomized in highly generalizable settings to collect real world data.” Resources Dr. Amy Abernethy Mike Doyle Zoe Li Evidence Accelerator FDA Sentinel program FDA
