Can your BMI affect whether you are eligible for a kidney transplant?   For many people living with chronic kidney disease and dialysis, weight is not simply about health advice — it can directly influence access to transplant surgery.   In Part 1 of this two-part series, Dee Moore explores the realities of weight, BMI thresholds, and transplant eligibility.   Joined by Dr Adrian Brown, Associate Professor in Nutrition and Dietetics, NIHR Advanced Fellow, and Senior Specialist Weight-Management and Bariatric Dietitian, this episode unpacks:   • How BMI is used in transplant decision-making • Why weight can influence surgical eligibility • The challenges dialysis patients face when trying to lose weight • The emotional impact of weight-related conversations • The importance of patient advocacy   For many kidney patients, these discussions can feel overwhelming and deeply personal. This episode aims to bring clarity, compassion and understanding to a complex topic.

A kidney transplant recipient arrested by immigration agents in Rochester last week finally is getting the medication he needs to keep his body from rejecting the organ. But his attorney says his client is not getting the correct dosages at the right times.The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is proposing new catch limits for native rough fish. For more than a century, native rough fish like redhorse, bowfin and buffalo were lumped in with invasive species like common carp — and not considered worthy of protection or management. If approved, the new rules would take effect for the 2027 fishing season.

Immigration agents arrested 38-year old Javier Abreu-Vasquez in Rochester Thursday, and he was flown to a Texas detention center Friday. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said Friday that ICE was aware of the kidney transplant, the family gave authorities the medications and that ICE was working to ensure he gets them.But the wife tells MPR News she spoke with Abreu-Vasquez by phone Sunday and he told her he still hasn't received the meds, and without them, he could eventually die.A Minneapolis-based media company that makes podcasts about video games raised almost 280,000 dollars for Minnesotans scared to leave their homes due to the activities of ICE.

In this profound and hope-filled Advent message, Pastor Karl continues the Christmas series with an honest, Scripture-saturated exploration of the third great gift Jesus brings: joy. Turning to the familiar yet astonishing encounter in Luke 1:26–38, Pastor Karl places us in the world of a young, powerless Mary—living in obscurity, poverty, and spiritual dryness under Roman oppression—when an angel suddenly declares her “highly favored” and announces she will bear the Son of God as a virgin.With pastoral clarity and compassion, Pastor Karl redefines biblical joy not as a forced smile, fleeting happiness, or denial of pain, but as a deep, settled confidence and calm cheerfulness in God—even when circumstances feel devastating. Mary's potentially ruinous situation (public shame, rejection, and lifelong stigma) becomes the backdrop for a joy that is rooted not in perfect conditions but in surrender to a perfect Savior. Joy, he shows, is not situational; it flows from trusting God's greater reality, His unchanging character, and His presence when clarity is absent.Drawing from Mary's radical response—“Let it be to me according to your word”—Pastor Karl tenderly calls every listener to the same doorway of lasting joy: radical surrender. Whether facing disappointment, health struggles, dashed dreams, or seasons of grief, joy grows when we release control, timelines, and the need to understand, and instead say “Yes, Lord” to whatever He has spoken. This is essential listening for anyone longing to move beyond seasonal happiness into the quiet, resilient cheerfulness that only Christ, born in a manger and risen from an empty tomb, can give.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

On this episode of Bringin' It Backwards, Adam sits down with Zahna—a resilient rock artist whose journey is anything but typical. Born in Monterrey, Mexico, Zahna moved with her family to Ohio before spending a pivotal year in Mexico to reconnect with her roots. After settling in Texas, music quickly became her passion, from musical theater to high school battle of the bands. But Zahna's story goes much deeper than band stages and studio sessions. She opens up about facing—and overcoming—a serious genetic kidney disease, receiving a life-saving transplant from her mom, and navigating the toughest years of her life. Despite setbacks, Zahna turned pain into power, launching her solo career, independently releasing her acclaimed album Stronger Than Death, and—most recently—signing with Brian “Head” Welch's label (yes, from Korn!). In this candid conversation, Zahna shares the highs and lows of her artistic journey, the story behind her explosive single "Pile of Pills," and why authenticity is her greatest strength. If you're a musician hustling to make it or just love hearing what it really takes to chase your dreams, this episode is for you.

Microsoft reportedly plans to begin using Anthropic's latest Claude models to power some of the Copilot features in its Office 365 apps. In a report published Tuesday, The Information said the tech giant would announce the change "in the coming weeks." Microsoft currently relies on OpenAI's tech to power the majority of AI features found inside of Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint. Also, the FDA approved the biotech company eGenesis to begin human trials of pig-to-human kidney transplants. eGenesis provides pigs with CRISPR-modified genes. These genetic changes reduce the chances of organ rejection in human recipients. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Near-death experience he had heart and kidney transplant surgery

When a new kidney could save your life, every minute counts. When Jazmin Evans discovered she could have received a kidney four years earlier, she was shocked. When she found out the delay was due to a racially biased testing process, she tried to warn others. This is a story from the archives. This originally aired on December 19, 2024. None of the dates, titles or other references from that time have been changed. In this episode: Jazmin Evans, Kidney Transplant Patient, PhD Student of Africology at Temple University Episode credits: This episode was produced by Manahil Naveed and Amy Walters, with Veronique Eshaya, Shraddha Joshi, and our host Malika Bilal.

Send us a textWe've had several WASP episodes about organ transplant recipients who have gone on to accomplish impressive feats, but here's one from the other side. Dan Armstead had plans to be a kidney donor from the time he learned in a high school class that you actually only need one to function perfectly normally. He eventually got tested and officially listed on the donor registry and then it barely took 48 hours before he got linked to someone who was in end stage renal disease who desperately needed a kidney, and it turned out it was his kidney that perfectly matched. But I'm not going to spoil it for you how that match took place because it's a remarkable, heartwarming story. What is important to tell you right now is how admirably selfless Dan's act was, and how he wants to spread the word about how easy it is to get tested to be a potential donor, and how little ongoing impact it has had physically on him. Most importantly, there are thousands on the kidney transplant waitlist who sometimes remain there for years – and sadly many don't make it at all. Dan, who runs a Synergy HomeCare provider, however, was able to save a life with his incredibly generous donation. I think this story will make your day a whole lot brighter, and who knows, maybe motivate some of you to someday save a life yourself.Dan ArmsteadFacebook Dan ArmsteadGabrielle's "G"'s foundationOnekidonekidney.comBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to the We Are Superman Newsletter!https://mailchi.mp/dab62cfc01f8/newsletter-signupSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8

Judith Morrison needs a kidney. While she's on dialysis, her sister Catherine is putting out a public plea for a living donor. But the search has been hard. And if they do find a donor, the sisters say that person will have to go through a long and opaque testing process. A process that experts say needs to be improved across Canada because the demand for kidney donations is high.

During DonateLife Week, from July 27 to August 3, Australia's Organ and Tissue Authority urges multicultural communities to consider organ donation to save lives. Thousands await transplants or dialysis, many benefiting from kidney donation. In this segment, we speak to Manisha Chaubal Menon, an Indian-origin Australian and organ donation ambassador, who shares her journey, debunks myths and highlights key points to inspire others to register.

“I was pumping in the NICU, feeling completely disconnected—and my husband looked at me and said, ‘Can you invite her in?' That moment changed everything. A nurse handed me a swab, I gave my baby colostrum for the first time, and I thought, ‘I'm a mommy.'” – Tanisha NICU mom and advocate Tanisha shares her deeply moving journey through an unexpected fetal diagnosis, a 157-day NICU stay, and the powerful moments that helped her reconnect with motherhood. Diagnosed at 20 weeks with Lower Urinary Tract Obstruction (LUTO)—a rare, life-threatening condition—Tanisha's son Jaleel faced impossible odds. From transferring care to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, navigating in-utero surgery, to forming a life-saving care team that included her husband and child life specialists, Tanisha's voice is a beacon of strength, love, and resilience.

Kent Bressler talks with Josie Maier, co-director of Project Donor—a nonprofit offering free support to living organ donor candidates. Kent reflects on his journey as a living donor kidney transplant recipient and his recent triumph over cancer. Josie sheds light on key challenges in organ donation, especially how BMI restrictions can prevent otherwise willing individuals from donating. Project Donor works to shift the conversation by helping potential donors overcome reversible barriers through free weight loss programs, smoking cessation resources, and therapy. Together, Kent and Josie highlight the urgent need for more living kidney donors and the importance of awareness. Listen in and discover how you can make a difference in this life-saving mission.

In 1954, Joseph Murray attempted a type of kidney swap that no doctor had tried before. The surgery was a success, and the patient would go on to live with the transplanted organ thanks to one key factor: it came from his identical twin. 70 years later, nearly 100,000 kidneys are transplanted annually in the US alone. So how does this surgery work today? Alexander H. Toledo explains the procedure. [Directed by Biljana Labović, narrated by Addison Anderson]. After the talk, Shoshana speaks with Leilani Graham, a writer and healthcare consultant, who survived four cardiac arrests and then a heart transplant about her personal trials and the realm of organ transplants.

Towana Looney became the first living person in the world to get a kidney from a new kind of genetically modified pig last month. Health correspondent Rob Stein got exclusive access to be in the operating room.Towana is a 53-year-old grandmother from Gadsden, Ala. She's been on dialysis for four hours a day, three days a week since 2016. Her immune system would reject a human kidney. So the Food and Drug Administration made an exception to its usual clinical study requirements to allow Looney this new kind of pig kidney. But the procedure is controversial.
