NPR's Emily Kwong launched the Inheriting podcast this past May, where she facilitated an in-depth conversation among members from different generations of AANHPI families. Could they identify a few critical decisions or changes in history that continue to impact and shape their families? We also discuss whether it's possible for any reporter to be 100% objective and unbiased, in the wake of the accusations by an NPR editor back in April that the station has a decidedly liberal bias. You can still listen to Season 1 of Inheriting by searching for it on your favorite podcast platform. Or you can go to npr.org/podcasts/510380/inheriting.

Contributor: Travis Barlock, MD Educational Pearls: Cancer-related emergencies can be sorted into a few buckets: Infection Cancer itself and the treatments (chemotherapy/radiation) can be immunosuppressive. Look out for conditions such as sepsis and neutropenic fever. Obstruction Cancer causes a hypercoagulable state. Look out for blood clots which can cause emergencies such as a pulmonary embolism, stroke, superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome, and cardiac tamponade. Metabolic Cancer can affect the metabolic system in a variety of ways. For example, certain cancers like bone cancers can stimulate the bones to release large amounts of calcium leading to hypercalcemia. Tumor lysis syndrome is another consideration in which either spontaneously or due to treatment, tumor cells will release large amounts of electrolytes into the bloodstream causing hyperuricemia, hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, and hypocalcemia. Medication side effect Immunomodulators can have strange side effects. A common one to know is Keytruda (pembrolizumab), which can cause inflammation in any organ. So if you have a cancer patient on immunomodulators with any inflammatory changes (cystitis, colitis, pneumonitis, etc), talk to oncology about whether steroids are indicated. Chemotherapy can cause tumor lysis syndrome (see above), and multiple chemotherapeutics are known to cause heart failure (doxorubicin, trastuzumab), kidney failure (cisplatin), and pulmonary toxicity (bleomycin).

Carre Callaway (Queen Kwong) tours in the U.S., U.K. and wherever her music takes her. Carre ended her tour and was in Los Angeles when we talked with her on this podcast. She talks about how music was a coping mechanism for her chaotic life. When Carre was 17 years old, a chance meeting with Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, turned her life around. Carre and I met after she was newly diagnosed with CF when she was 30 years old (being a white American and of Chinese descent her doctors didn't think she could have CF), and amid a messy divorce with a famous musician. She talks about being abandoned by her husband and friends after the diagnosis.This is her first in-depth discussion about life with CF.Carre talks about how she went into survival mode and being in what felt like a hopeless situation. Carre embraced being an imperfect human and figured out how to thrive inspired by her massive loss.Carre has released three records, and is in the process of writing a book about life with CF. Life with CF as a punk rock, Indie rock singer with hemoptysis (coughing up blood) happening in between or during gigs.Carre is in a loving relationship and doing well.

With so many unknowns, what's the safest way to proceed?

In this episode, Mike Everett and Mike Kwong dive into their experiences from this years Think Tank! Kwong has never been and Everett has only missed two! This is a cool look behind the curtain of the Nelson Nash Institute annual Think Tank from the LSL team! The post Thoughts from the Think Tank appeared first on Life Success Legacy.
Good morning, RVA! It's 47 °F, and today looks sunny and wonderful with highs in the 70s. NBC12's Andrew Freiden says it's his Verified Best Weather Day of the Week™ and that it caps off the “third warmest Meteorological Winter in Richmond's history.” If I weren't headed to VCU's final home game of the season, I'd spend the evening out getting lost in the woods. I hope you find the time today to get out there and enjoy it! Water cooler This past Sunday, Henrico County Supervisor Tyrone Nelson hit a person riding their bike with his car. From NBC12's report: “The Henrico Police Department says Tyrone Nelson failed to give a three-foot distance when trying to pass the cyclist in the 6500 block of Osborne Turnpike around 11:45 a.m.” This block of Osborne Turnpike is just 1.5 miles from where a driver hit and killed Jonah Holland while she was riding her bike this past August. There's no doubt that this stretch of road is dangerous, but how many people need to get hurt or killed before the County does anything about it? If an elected official, someone who has the actual power to make this street safer, can hit someone with their car and just move on with life...I don't know. Depressing. Michael Martz at the Richmond Times-Dispatch has some electoral next steps now that we've got this past weekend's firehouse primaries behind us. First up, the special election on March 28th, and then the Democratic primary on June 20th (which gears up for the big November election). Also this is the first reporting I've read that confirms soon-to-be Senator Bagby (from the now-old 9th Senate District) will run in the new 14th Senate District in that June 20th primary. Speaking of the General Assembly, Bob Lewis at the Virginia Mercury pulls the numbers on the part-timedness of our commonwealth's legislative body. Given the ridiculously short amount of time our legislators spend actually legislating (just 46 days this year), to get through all of the bills submitted they'd need to “average final action on 45 bills per day.” Impossible! What's also impossible is changing the system to something that makes a little more sense. I think a lot folks like how the General Assembly works because it's weird, brutal, and inaccessible—sort of like an unnecessarily painful badge of civic honor. Today is the very last day that you can weigh in on the City's plan to bring bike lanes to Westover Hills Boulevard from the Nickel Bridge to points south. I encourage you to fill out the quick survey if you haven't already, asking for physical protection along the lanes and (kindly) reminding the City's Department of Public Works that sharrows are not real infrastructure. Additionally, the folks at Bike Walk RVA point out that extending the bike lane down 49th Street to a residential dead end doesn't connect anything to anywhere at the moment, and the proposal should, instead, continue the lanes down Westover Hills Boulevard south to Crutchfield. If, like me, you have to see it on a map, I crayoned Bike Walk RVA's preferred alignment here. So, to recap: 1) Add protection the the bike lanes, 2) Don't use sharrows, and 3) Extend the bike lanes on Westover Hills Boulevard to Crutchfield. Take four minutes and fill out the survey this morning (it's your last day to do so!). This morning's longread Let Lily Kwong—and a Mountainful of Orchids—Resensitize Your Cold, Dead Heart First, orchids! Second, I thought this was an incredibly thoughtful answer to the nihilistic question (which I see pop up in internet discourse constantly) of “why do anything at all, isn't everything terrible?” Before I go, I'm curious how Kwong, whose work in horticulture and urban design has also sought to address issues of native gardening and food insecurity, sees how these flashy, large-scale stunners, often brought to life at the behest of corporate brand partnerships, exist in conversation with her overall mission to connect people with the natural world. In response, Kwong eagerly asks me if I've ever been to Muir Woods. “They're the tallest trees in the world—literally these ancient giants that are hundreds of years old,” she says, thinking back to her childhood again. “It's a spiritual experience walking through them,” Kwong explains. “It feels almost like a cathedral…that is my framework of how I first connected with nature. So, when I do a piece like this, or Grand Central, I'm trying to channel that frequency of awe. Because in my experience, from awe came the curiosity. Then came education, knowledge, understanding, and stewardship.” If you'd like to suggest a longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol' Patreon.

They talk about knowing your inner-selves at different ages and what brings them out.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 51! In today's In Case You Missed It (ICYMI) Encore Episode, we dig back to Season 1, Episode 4 on the life of Larry Kwong, the first person to break the color barrier in the National Hockey League. Nicknamed The China Clipper and King Kwong, he hasn't gotten nearly enough recognition for his many accomplishments. For example, we think he should be in the Hockey Hall of Fame, and there are others who believe it too. We began this episode with an apology to KoRoot for messing up their name last episode. And we closed the episode with a segment on the origin of describing Asians as “yellow.” To read more about Larry Kwong, check out King Kwong: Larry Kwong, The China Clipper Who Broke the NHL Colour Barrier by Paula Johanson.
