After almost two-decades of floundering negotiations, talks on an EU-India Free Trade Agreement have begun to gather momentum. Both sides seek alliances that cover not only trade relations but greater security cooperation and a shared technology agenda. In a signal of its strategic priorities, the College of Commissioners paid a first-of-its-kind visit to India in February 2025, where Prime Minister Modi and European Commission President von der Leyen pledged to conclude a Free Trade Agreement by the end of this year. In this IIEA panel discussion, Dr Sonali Chowdhry and Dr Amitendu Palit address the prospects of a potential EU-India Free Trade Agreement and consider what an EU-India partnership should or should not prioritise. At a time when the EU's Global Gateway Strategy has promised to create links, not dependencies, the panelists reflect on whether – in the words of President von der Leyen – EU-India ties have the potential to be one of the defining partnerships of this century. About the Speakers: Dr Sonali Chowdhry is a trade economist based at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin) and the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. Her work examines the structure of global supply chains and distributional effects of new trade policies. Dr Chowdhry has contributed to in-depth policy reports on mega-regional free trade agreements to the European Parliament. Previously, she was a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute and earned her PhD in Economics from LMU Munich as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow.

Credibility is a crucial concept in communication science and received severely increased attention, again, with CCS. That is, it serves everybody as a signpost to navigate the web whilst also being scrutinized by some via (AI-driven) signals that suggest trustworthiness. Cuihua (Cindy) Shen is Professor of Communication and Co-Director of the Computational Communication Research Lab at the Department of Communication at UC Davis. In this episode, she, Emese Domahidi (Professor at TU Ilmenau) and Mario Haim (Professor at LMU Munich) talk about the concept of credibility and its particular role with mis- and disinformation. Of course, we also talk AI and what credibility is worth when a machines can generate whatever we've learnt to be trustworthy. P.S.: We now also have a website for our podcast --> https://aboutccs.net/ P.P.S.: This is the last episode of this season. We're off to a (longer? ;-)) summer pause but look forward to being in touch soon!

David is a passionate investor, and wonderful writer, who shares his insights, and observations in his popular blog. My guest today is David Diranko. We met at Guy Spier's VALUEx earlier this year, and spoke since. David is a very thoughtful investor who writes about his process, which rhymes with my philosophy in many ways, though we might be drawn to different hunting grounds. I greatly appreciate his perspective and insights that combine both his passion for investing, and background in data science and machine learning.

My guest talks about considering the contrarian aspect of investing, going in when others are not interested. David tells me that math and numbers can provide comfort and a framework for investing. My guest talks about thinking probabilistically and considering risk as a subjective factor in investing. We discuss the accelerating shift in technology and how businesses can change rapidly within a few years. David emphasizes the importance of continuous learning and adjusting expectations in investing, especially with a longer time horizon. My guest talks about buying tailwinds at a discount and recognizing optionality for successful investments. We discuss how AI has the potential to empower and enhance human decision-making, but it also has limitations and requires transparency and data ownership. David shares the value of being part of a community of like-minded investors for support, ideas, and feedback. Stay tuned until the end, when my guest talks about how success in investing is not just about financial gains but also about maintaining a balanced and fulfilling personal life.

Ethan Zuckerman, Associate Professor of Public Policy, Communication and Information at the U of Massachusetts Amherst, is our guest, and he is on a mission to fix platforms. Not because he thinks they are inherently bad, but because there are several things about platforms that research (not least CCS) tells us are flawed. Emese Domahidi (Professor at TU Ilmenau) and Mario Haim (Professor at LMU Munich) talk with Ethan about why social media seems to be broken, what possible ways to fix it might be, how different regions of the world are approaching this challenge, and whether suing Facebook might make a difference.

Everyone is talking about Artificial Intelligence (AI), so we want to bring some differentiation into the bigger picture. For this, Jean Burgess, Distinguished Professor of Digital Media in and founding director of the Digital Media Research Centre (DMRC) at Queensland University of Technology, is our guest. She has been focusing on social implications of digital media technologies, platforms, and cultures, as well as new and innovative digital methods for studying them, for quite some time and has recently become Associate Director of the national Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADMS). From that, she's perfect to discuss with us--Emese Domahidi (Professor at TU Ilmenau) and Mario Haim (Professor at LMU Munich)--about what AI really is and where the hype is coming from, what role different disciplines play and where methods come into play.

In this episode, we look at the question of how digital media affects the well-being of users - a question that researchers have been debating for a long time. From a communication science perspective, there are many questions in this field of research and new approaches to solving them using computational methods. In this episode, we look in particular at the measurement of media use and the new opportunities presented by digital data and computational methods, as well as the associated challenges. Doug A. Parry (Senior Lecturer at Stellenbosch University) is one of the leading experts in this field and an expert in innovative data formats for measuring media use. He talks to Emese Domahidi (Professor at TU Ilmenau) and Mario Haim (Professor at LMU Munich) about the topic. Parry, D.A., Davidson, B.I., Sewall, C.J.R. et al. (2021).

The death of Alexei Navalny sent shockwaves across the world. Has Russia's hope of a brighter future, beyond the reign of Putin, died alongside him? And will we ever know the full truth around his demise – or why it has happened now? To answer these questions and more, Dr. Jan Dollbaum, head of research group ‘Mobilisation and Representation in post-Soviet Eastern Europe' at LMU Munich and co-author of Navalny: Putin's Nemesis, Russia's Future? speaks to Chris Jones in The Bunker.  Buy Navalny: Putin's Nemesis, Russia's Future? through our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund The Bunker by earning us a small commission for every sale. Bookshop.org's fees help support independent bookshops too. • “The emotions that the Kremlin wants to create are hopelessness and despair. When people are angry with something, that anger can make them overcome their fear. But hopelessness keeps people individualised, and stops collective action.” – Dr. Jan Dollbaum • “Naming any sanctions against Russia as 'Navalny Sanctions' sends the message that Navalny is an agent of the West, and Russian propaganda would rejoice in using that opportunity to make that clear to its population.”  – Dr. Jan Dollbaum www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Written and Presented by Chris Jones.

Katya Ognyanova (Associate Professor at Rutgers U) is our guest and she is an expert on studying social networks. What's the societal problem with that, we hear you ask. Well, a lot of political knowledge and information and particularly mis- and disinformation spreading on the internet builds on social networking parameters such as strong and weak ties or partisanship among groups. Katya talks Emese (Professor at TU Ilmenau) and Mario (Professor at LMU Munich) through network essentials, the social aspects of (mis-)information, and the role of CCS in all of that.

Jan Matti Dollbaum -- research group leader at LMU Munich and co-author of the book Navalny: Putin's Nemesis, Russia's Future? – joins host Steve Gutterman to discuss the life, death, and legacy of Aleksei Navalny.

In this episode, I speak with my colleague, Agnes Mueller, who is a professor of German and Comparative Literature at the University of South Carolina, about why Thomas Mann's novella, Death in Venice, is a must-read during our ongoing pandemic. We talk about Modernism, Plato, and Nietzsche. We see the novella as exploring sickness, death, and eros, and we find similarities and continuities between the lovesickness that grips von Aschenbach and cholera that eventually kills him. We also ask whether Mann's novella is a rebuke of, or perhaps even a vindication of, Plato's ideal of erotic love. Either way, we agree that the novella is a deep engagement with Platonic ideas and is one of the best treatments of love in literature, period. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Agnes Mueller (M.A., LMU Munich, Germany, 1993, Ph.D., Vanderbilt U, 1997), a Professor, is an expert on recent and contemporary German literature. She is core faculty in Comparative Literature and affiliated with Women's and Gender Studies and with Jewish Studies. Her publications are on German-American relations, multicultural studies, gender issues in contemporary literature, German-Jewish studies, and Holocaust studies.

In this podcast, we cover - 1. The art and science of forming multi-dimensional careers: nuances of achievement 2. Frameworks for understanding change as a philosopher 3. Frameworks for analysing achievement in the automated workspace Sven Nyholm is a Professor of the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence at LMU Munich and the Principal Investigator for AI Ethics at the Munich Center for Machine Learning. Much of his recent work has been about the impact of emerging technologies on our opportunities to live meaningful lives, have meaningful relationships, and do meaningful work. He is particularly interested in how life in the contemporary world – with technologies like robots and artificial intelligence – affects traditional ideas about ethics and our human self-understanding. Nyholm's publications include Revisiting Kant's Universal Law and Humanity Formulas (De Gruyter, 2015), Humans and Robots: Ethics, Agency, and Anthropomorphism (Rowman & Littlefield International, 2020) and This is Technology Ethics: An Introduction (Wiley-Blackwell, 2023).

In this episode we talk about platforms and their power. This includes the relevance of social media metrics to users, the gatekeeping function of platforms, and fragmentation trends. For these topics, our guest is the ideal expert to talk to: Subhayan Mukerjee (Assistant Professor at the National U of Singapore) is a computer scientist, mathematician and (computational) communication scholar. What's more, he also brings a global perspective on the use of news and the power of platforms, as Emese Domahidi (Professor at TU Ilmenau) and Mario Haim (Professor at LMU Munich) talk with him about the needs for adequate methodology and, maybe even more importantly, for adequate theory.

Continuing with political language online, we seek to understand the relevance and divergence of news on the internet. Sounds trivial? Well, unfortunately, it isn't: What is "contemporary" news is decided upon by many rather than a few, it contains journalistically verified messages as well as mis- and disinformation and fake news. Jo(sephine) Lukito (Assistant Professor at the U of Texas at Austin's School of Journalism and Media) guides us, Emese Domahidi (Professor at TU Ilmenau) and Mario Haim (Professor at LMU Munich), through the exciting and "hybrid" online news environment as well as through her own research investigating particularly the malicious political language within online public spheres. Of course, CCS plays a large role in that too, as Jo is a strong advocate of computational methods and especially of multi-platform research.

It is not very hard to find dispute, also harsh dispute, online. A phenomenon also called digital contention, this raises several questions such as why are controversies more pronounced on the web? Have people turned into a rude mob in recent years or does the web help the quarrelsome to become more present? Also, what does this mean for our research, the theories and methods we apply? On that, Emese Domahidi (Professor at TU Ilmenau) and Mario Haim (Professor at LMU Munich) talk with Christian Baden (Associate Professor at the Department of Communication and Journalism and the Smart Institute at the Hebrew U of Jerusalem) who is not only interested in the topic for his own research but who is also heading the oft-mentioned EU-funded OPINION network (https://www.opinion-network.eu/) that brings together scholars working to automatically detect and extract opinions from unstructued data.

Why are they paid so much?What influence does the complex world of workplace dynamics have on income? In this episode we delve into the myth of meritocracy, highlighting how factors beyond talent and skill often determine salary. From education and the choices you make early in your career to the pervasive influence of parents and socio-economic factors. We discuss the unsettling gender and race pay disparities and explore promising solutions for a more equitable system.

A raw and honest conversation about Palestine, Germany and Palestinians in Germany. Sarah El Bulbeisi discusses the history of the Palestinian diasporic experience in Germany, the erasure, tabooization and criminalization of this very experience and the structural hostility, racism and trivialization faced by the Palestinian community and anyone in support of it there. Finally, she grapples with the notion of post-War guilt and its impact (or lack thereof) on the German perception and treatment of Palestinians.This episode was recorded on Friday Oct 27 at 16:41 Palestine time.Please note, we're recording special podcast episodes relevant to understanding historical context to what is happening in Palestine. Make sure to check out the other highly informative conversations with guests from completely different disciplines who are generously sharing their time and insight in these dark times.Sarah El Bulbeisi completed her PhD at the Institute for Near and Middle East Studies at the LMU Munich, Germany and currently works as a post-doctoral research assistant at the Oriental Institute Beirut. Before joining the OIB she coordinated the DAAD project “Violence, Forced Migration and Exile: Trauma in the Arab World and in Germany”, a Higher Education Dialogue between Palestinian and Lebanese universities as well as with the LMU Munich. Prior to that, she worked as a lecturer and research associate at the Institute for Near and Middle East Studies at the LMU Munich. Her PhD thesis “Taboo, Trauma and Identity: Subject Constructions of Palestinians in Germany and Switzerland, 1960 to 2015” draws on conversations, life stories and participant observation and explores the tension between the (family) histories of first and second generation Palestinians, which are characterized by the experience of expulsion and dispossession, and the reshaping of this experience in the Western European representation of the so called Middle East conflict.***** ABOUT THIS SERIES ***** The afikra Podcast is our flagship program featuring experts from academia, art, media and beyond who are helping document and/or shape the histories and cultures of the Arab world through their ‎work.

Let's put on your legal suit and join Emese Domahidi (Professor at TU Ilmenau) and Mario Haim (Professor at LMU Munich) welcoming Natali Helberger (Distinguished Professor of Law & Digital Technology, with a special focus on AI at the U of Amsterdam). We talk about the difficulties that come with regulating newly emerging technology. We also talk about all kinds of upcoming EU regulations (such as the Digital Services Act, DSA, the Digital Markets Act, DMA, and the AI Act) and the challenges of these, but also about the differences to other jurisdictional systems. Finally, we put this into perspective of CCS, talking about what will likely change in the new future for researchers (take-home message: a lot!).

In this episode, Emese Domahidi (Professor at TU Ilmenau) and Mario Haim (Professor at LMU Munich) talk to Ágnes Emőke Horvát (Assistant Professor in Communication and Computer Science at Northwestern University where she leads the Lab on Innovation, Networks, and Knowledge, LINK) about what gender biases are, their origins and how prevalent these systematic misrepresantions are. Moving to Computational Communication Science, we then discuss how gender biases (and inequalities, more generally) affect our research, our data, tools, measures, and models. And we tackle the big question how potential routes forward could look like.

I spoke to Valeriya on the 67th episode of the podcast and wanted to have her come back so that we could create a Talk about how an economist and researcher views the mental health crisis related to the climate crisis and the potential and pitfalls of the current economic model. Valeriya is a postdoctoral researcher at Ifo Institue and LMU Munich. She has a PhD in applied econometrics and is currently doing a research stay at the University of California where she is researching her topics of passion -> the effects of climate change on mental health using real world data. More specifically the mental health expenditures driven by climate change, how that will develop in the future, possible mitigation and adaptation strategies to help us prepare for possible negative impacts. Valeriya has very diverse knowledge which is why I wanted to know different things from her like: - what the biggest advantages and design flaws are in the current economic system - in her opinion. The answers she gives come from a rather scientific mind and are quite cool-headed, it struck me that she looks at data and analyzes it in different ways than many other people I have talked to, as we often tend to go with gut feelings and emotions as well as with our heads, whereas Valeriya for example drew attention to the fact that it is difficult to "measure" happiness , therefore we must recognize that there are indeed people who are "happy" in the current economic system. It is a very interesting conversation that has introduced a different view and tone to the podcast. We hope you enjoy listening! Thank you for listening for this Talk

My guest this month is Robert Zydenbos, who is Professor of Modern Indology at the LMU Munich. (Full disclosure: we thus are colleagues!)His first point of contact with Indian languages and philosophies was through Collier's Encyclopaedia. It introduced him to such ideas as rebirth, a concept found in various traditions (see e.g. here, here or here)His first degree was in Indian Studies at the University of Utrecht, at an institute that developed into a centre of Tantric Studies and that has in the meantime been closed.  His teachers included Jan Gonda, T. Goudriaan , Henk Bodewitz,  Leen van Dalen , George Chemparathy, Kamil Zvelebil, Sanjukta Gupta, Karel van Kooij. He did his PhD and much subsequent work in Mysore, where he frequently visited the university and the Oriental Research Institute; and whereas his early interest in Jainism brought him to Karnataka, he also studied religious currents such as Vīraśaivism and Mādhva Vaiṣṇavism. Through his close acquaintance with Bannanje Govindacharya, he began working on Madhvācārya and his writings, also those concerning the Bhagavadgītā. (The article he mentions may be found here.)He would use the SSPRG, the Sanskrit Studies Podcast Research Grant, to learn Old Javanese. For anyone interested in learning about Sanskrit  for the first time, he recommends Pierre-Sylvain Filliozat's Le sanskrit/The Sanskrit Language.

In this episode, Emese Domahidi (Assistant Professor at TU Ilmenau) and Mario Haim (Professor at LMU Munich) discuss with Jacob T. Fisher (Assistant Professor at the U of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) about the role of coding for communication scholars. Jacob just co-organized (along with Josephine Lukito, Frederic R. Hopp, and Felicia Loecherbach) the first ICA Hackathon and talks about his experience at the event in the podcast. From there, we tackle topics such as what programming and developing actually are and how to teach coding skills in a way that makes sense for the social sciences, what knowledge we need to be able to collaborate with computer scientists, whether we need computer scientists in the first place, and what programming language(s) communication scholars should learn. Additionally, we discuss how to use and sell this knowledge in business and how programming is a challenge at different career levels.

Host: Nic Leonhardt Speakers: Nic Leonhardt (Host), Rebecca Sturm (theatre researcher, guest) Technical Support: Aydin Alinejad Music: Legon Palmwine Band, Accra   Exactly sixty years ago, on 13 August 1961, the Berlin Wall was erected. It was not just any architectural structure, but was specifically intended to seal off the German Democratic Republic (GDR) from the western part of the city of Berlin and the surrounding areas. The Wall was 167.8 km long –a stone wall of ideological, political and mental historical significance for the people on both sides of the Wall. Sixty years have passed since the Wall was built; it lasted 28 years. And although it fell in 1989, it has not lost its symbolic weight to this day. In this episode of the Theatrescapes podcast, I talk to the young theatre historian Rebecca Sturm about the consequences of the building of the Wall for theatre in Berlin and in West and East Germany in the period after 1961. Rebecca Sturm studied theatre studies at the LMU Munich and has been a research assistant in the ERC project Developing Theatre. Building Expert Networks for Theatre in Emerging Countries after 1945 (GA No. 694559) since 2016. Her PhD project examines the role of the International Theatre Institute (ITI) during the Cold War. Founded in 1948 under the umbrella of UNESCO), the ITI's aim from the beginning was to create a worldwide network of theatre professionals and to promote cultural exchange and mutual understanding. In her project, Rebecca Sturm particularly focuses on the two parts of Germany, East and West, which both became member states of the ITI in the 1950s.

About this episode: The interviewees in this episode are theatre makers and theatre researchers Clara de Andrade and Gustavo Guenzburger from Rio, Brazil.

In early 2020, Clara and Gustavo were Visiting Fellows of the Centre and of the European Research Council (ERC) funded project "Developing Theatre" (GA No. 694559) at the Institute of Theatre Studies at Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich. When they were about to return in March, the pandemic broke out... In conversation with Theatrescapes host Nic Leonhardt, Clara and Gustavo talk about the challenges COVID-19 as well the political situation in Brazil have brought to both their practical and academic work since then.   The guests: Clara de Andrade is a Brazilian actor, singer, teacher and researcher in Theatre Arts. Her main field of research is the transnational networks of the Theatre of the Oppressed and Theatre for Development. She has been working and researching at institutions such as UNIRIO, Sorbonne Nouvelle (Paris 3) and was Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Global Theatre Histories & Developing Theatre Project at LMU Munich. Gustavo Guenzburger is a Brazilian artist, activist, teacher and researcher in Theatre Arts. His main field of interest are transnationality and modes of production in theatre. He has been teaching and researching at institutions such as UNIRIO, UERJ, Sorbonne Nouvelle (Paris 3) and was Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Global Theatre Histories & Developing Theatre Project at LMU Munich.

In this episode, Nic Leonhardt, theatre scholar and host of Theatrescapes, introduces into the programme and agenda of the new podcast. About the host: Nic Leonhardt is a theatre scholar and senior lecturer in theatre studies at LMU Munich. Her research focuses on theatre history of the nineteenth and twentieth century and is strongly interdisciplinary and transnational in approach. Since 2016 she has been the senior researcher and associate director of the European Research Council project “Developing Theatre” at LMU Munich, as well as director of the Centre for Global Theatre History.

In this episode, I speak with my colleague, Agnes Mueller, who is a professor of German and Comparative Literature at the University of South Carolina, about why Thomas Mann's novella, Death in Venice, is a must-read during our ongoing pandemic. We talk about Modernism, Plato, and Nietzsche. We see the novella as exploring sickness, death, and eros, and we find similarities and continuities between the lovesickness that grips von Aschenbach and cholera that eventually kills him. We also ask whether Mann's novella is a rebuke of, or perhaps even a vindication of, Plato's ideal of erotic love. Either way, we agree that the novella is a deep engagement with Platonic ideas and is one of the best treatments of love in literature, period. I hope you enjoy our conversation. Agnes Mueller (M.A., LMU Munich, Germany, 1993, Ph.D., Vanderbilt U, 1997), a Professor, is an expert on recent and contemporary German literature. She is core faculty in Comparative Literature and affiliated with Women's and Gender Studies and with Jewish Studies. Her publications are on German-American relations, multicultural studies, gender issues in contemporary literature, German-Jewish studies, and Holocaust studies.

Predicting the weather is one of the most challenging tasks in machine learning due to the fact that physical phenomena are dynamic and riche of events. Moreover, most of traditional approaches to climate forecast are computationally prohibitive. It seems that a joint research between the Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine and the faculty of Physics at LMU Munich has an interesting improvement on the scalability and accuracy of climate predictive modeling. The solution is... superparameterization and deep learning.   References                   Could Machine Learning Break the Convection Parameterization Deadlock?                                Gentine, M.

Carolyn: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. I'm Dr. Carolyn Lam, associate editor from the National Heart Centre and Duke National University of Singapore. Have you ever wondered what the clinical implications of very brief episodes of device-detected atrial tachyarrhythmias are? Well, we will be discussing this with novel data from the RATE registry in just a moment. First, here's your summary of this week's journal.     The first study provides the first evaluation of the Sweden nationwide abdominal aortic aneurysm screening program. Of almost 303,000 men invited for screening, 84% attended. The prevalence of screening detected abdominal aortic aneurysm was 1.5%. After a mean of 4.5 years, 29% of patients with aneurysms had been operated upon with a 30-day mortality rate of 0.9%. The introduction of screening was associated with a significant reduction in aneurysm-specific mortality. The number needed to screen to prevent 1 premature death was 667, while the number needed to operate on to prevent 1 premature death was 1.5.     Furthermore, the authors showed that their screening program was highly cost-effective in the contemporary setting in Sweden. These findings confirm results from earlier randomized controlled trials in a large population-based setting, and may be important for future healthcare decision-making. This and the diverse requirements for efficient population screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm, from program management to maintaining skills in open repair are discussed in an excellent accompanying editorial by Dr. Cole from Imperial College London.     The next study looks at thoracic epidural anesthesia and suggests that caution may be needed in patients with or at risk for right ventricular dysfunction. You see, thoracic epidural anesthesia involves blockade of cardiac sympathetic fibers, which may affect right ventricular function and interfere with the coupling between the right ventricle and right ventricular afterload. Dr. Wink and colleagues from the Leiden University Medical Center therefore used combined pressure volume conductance catheters to study the effects of thoracic epidural anesthesia on right ventricular function and ventricular pulmonary artery coupling in 10 patients scheduled for lung resection.     Thoracic epidural anesthesia resulted in a significant reduction in right ventricular contractility, stroke work, dP/dt max and ejection fraction. This was accompanied by a reduction in effective arterial elastance such that ventricular pulmonary coupling remain unchanged. Clamping of the pulmonary artery increased right ventricular contractility but decreased ventricular pulmonary coupling. These effects of increased afterload were the same before and after thoracic epidural anesthesia. In conclusion, therefore, thoracic epidural anesthesia impaired right ventricular contractility but did not inhibit the native positive ionotropic response of the right ventricle to increase afterload. These findings are clinically relevant for daily practice in cardiothoracic surgery because pulmonary hypertension is frequently encountered, and right ventricular function is an important determinant of early and late outcomes.     The next study suggests that the use of point of care hemostatic testing may have a place in the management of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Dr. Karkouti and colleagues of the Toronto General Hospital hypothesized that point of care hemostatic testing within the context of an integrated transfusion algorithm would improve the management of coagulopathy in cardiac surgery, thereby reducing blood transfusion. They therefore conducted a pragmatic multi-center stepped-wedge cluster randomized controlled trial of a point of care based transfusion algorithm in 7,402 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass in 12 hospitals in Ontario, Canada. They found that the trial intervention reduced rate of red cell transfusion with an adjusted relative risk of 0.91 and a number needed to treat of 24.7.     The intervention also reduced rates of platelet transfusion and major bleeding but had no effect on other blood product transfusions or major complications. These findings that point of care testing improved management of coagulopathy in cardiac surgery support the consideration of their broader adoption in clinical practice.     The next study provides experimental evidence that brings us one step closer to therapeutic targeting of arterial leukocyte recruitment in the context of atherosclerosis. In this study from first author Dr. Ortega-Gómez, corresponding author Dr. Soehnlein and colleagues from LMU Munich, authors focus on cathepsin G, which is stored in neutrophil and azurophil granules and discharged upon neutrophil activation. They studied site-specific myeloid cell behavior after high-fat diet feeding or TNF stimulation in the carotid artery, the jugular vein, and cremasteric arterioles and venules in APOE E and Cathepsin G-deficient mice.     Their studies revealed a crucial role for Cathepsin G in arterial leukocyte adhesion, an effect that was specific for the arteries and not found during venular adhesion. Consequently, Cathepsin G deficiency attenuated atherosclerosis but not acute lung inflammation. Mechanistically, Cathepsin G was immobilized on arterial endothelium, where it activated leukocytes to firmly adhere, engaging endocrine clustering, a process of crucial importance to achieve effective adherence under high-sheer flow.     Therapeutic neutralization of Cathepsin G specifically abrogated arterial leukocyte adhesion without affecting myeloid cell adhesion in the microcirculation. Repetitive application of Cathepsin G-neutralizing antibodies really allowed the inhibition of atherogenesis in the mice. Taken together, these findings presented evidence of an arterial-specific recruitment pattern centered on Cathepsin G adhesion, thus representing a potential novel strategy and target for the treatment of arterial inflammation. Well, that wraps it up for the summary of this week's journal. Now, for our featured discussion.     Our feature paper for today discusses the clinical implications of brief device-detected atrial tachycardias and really novel findings from the RATE registry. I'm so happy to be here with the first and corresponding author, Dr. Steven Swiryn from Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University. Hi, Steven.   Steven: Good morning.   Carolyn: We also have with us Dr. Mark Link, associate editor from UT Southwestern. We all know that prolonged episodes of atrial tachycardia or atrial fibrillation are associated with increased risk and that if we anticoagulate those with a high CHA2DS2–VASc score, we can lower the risk of stroke. Now, the European Society of Cardiology guidelines also say that recent data reinforced the assumption that even brief episodes of silent atrial fibrillation may convey an increased risk of stroke. We also know that prior studies have looked at device-detected atrial fibrillation. Steven, I'd really love if you could start by telling us what makes your study different. What was the main thing you were trying to look at?   Steven: Well, one reason it's attractive to use the device population, patients with pacemakers or defibrillators, to look at these issues is because devices have a very high likelihood of detecting episodes of atrial fibrillation whereas symptoms or single 12 EKGs miss a lot of atrial fibrillation, so the sensitivity is much higher, although not perfect. The problem is that very brief episodes of atrial fibrillation are very poorly detected by devices. The specificity of automatic detection is very low, such that all previous studies until the RATE registry have excluded any episode of atrial fibrillation detected by a device less than 5 minutes in duration because they're unreliable. A lot of them turn out to be false positive detections. Our study was designed to evaluate whether even very brief episodes of an atrial tachyarrhythmia might also be associated with risk of clinical events and might or might not warrant anti-coagulation.   Carolyn: Ah, that's interesting, so you really helped to answer how brief is "brief" when we need to talk about device-detected atrial fibrillation. Could you expand on how you actually defined "short episodes" here?   Steven: Right. A short episode for the purpose of the RATE registry was defined as an episode where the electrogram that we scrutinized had both the onset and the offset of the episode within the same electrogram tracing, so although we can't put a specific time duration on it because that wasn't part of the criterion, it's typically less than 20 seconds or so, although not always, whereas a long episode was defined as an electrogram where either the onset and/or the offset was not captured by the device memory and therefore we don't know the duration. Some of those may not have been very long, and some of those may have been extremely prolonged episodes. That allows us to actually scrutinize the electrogram. We looked at 37,530 individual electrograms using 8 teams of adjudicators, each with a physician and a field clinical engineer from the device company so that we could actually say definitively, "Yes, this was atrial fibrillation," or, "No, it wasn't."   Carolyn: This is the first study to really look under that 5-minute limit of atrial tachycardias. What did you find?   Steven: Well, we found that in contrast to prolonged episodes, short episodes of atrial tachyarrhythmias were not associated with an increased risk compared to those without atrial fibrillation of pre-defined clinical events, including death from any cause, heart failure, stroke, hospitalization for atrial fibrillation, and a few other smaller events.   Carolyn: This was over a 2-year follow-up period, is that right?   Steven: The median follow-up was slightly less than 2 years, that's right.   Carolyn: What I really was struck with was also the second finding, the propensity to develop longer episodes. Could you expand on that?   Steven: We reasoned that in the clinic, one might be faced with a short episode was we defined them, and then you don't know what's going to happen for the next 2 years to bring to bear the results of our study. We looked at if your first episode was short, what was your likelihood over the full follow-up of the study of progressing to longer episodes. About 50% of patients who had their first episode as only a short episode progressed to a longer episode over the full follow-up and therefore were in the long category for the rest of the results. Half of them never got a longer episode.     It was, as one might imagine, if you had your first short episode very early in the study and had a longer follow-up, you were more likely to end up in the long category, and if you had very frequent short episodes, you were also more likely to end up in the long category by the time the full follow-up was over with. Having an initial short episode is not a guarantee that you're never going to get a long episode and that you'll never acquire a consideration of anti-coagulation.   Carolyn: That was a very important message to me as well because it meant that although I can be secure or reassured by these data for very short episodes, I needed to look out for the development of longer episodes, at least that's what your registry showed over 2 years of follow-up. I'm curious, Mark, what were your take-home messages because that leaves us with a bit of a conundrum. What do we do about anti-coagulation in these patients?   Mark: I think this study is a big help to the practicing electrophysiologist and practicing cardiologists. It's a very ledger number of patients with a lot of episodes of afib. It's reassuring to me that the shorter episodes of afib as defined by the study, the individuals did not have a higher incidence of stroke compared to those with no episodes, so it's reassuring and very important clinically as I go through my practice.     I do look forward to more analyses and more data from this study because although now we know that episodes less than 20 seconds are in all likelihood not going to need anti-coagulation, we still don't know about those from 20 seconds to 5 minutes. Hopefully with more analysis of this study we'll get that answer also.   Carolyn: Steven, do you agree with that?   Steven: We would love to have that. At first glance, you would think that devices would give you all of the data you needed because after all, they're monitoring the patient 100% of the time, but there are difficulties with that because device memory is limited, and you don't get electrograms that go on until the termination of atrial fibrillation even if the device were accurate in determining when that termination was because depending on how the device was programmed and depending on whether it was a more modern device later in the trial or earlier and had more or less memory, it cuts off after a limited amount of time, and you don't see necessarily how long the duration is.     Now, you can use device-based data. The device gives you its estimate of how long the episode is, but those are not as reliable as adjudicating the electrograms and actually looking at them. Those data would be a little softer than the main results if we get there.   Mark: That was the data that was used for all of the other studies, was [transassert 00:14:51]. It would be comparable to those other studies. I still think it would be very important data that I'd love to see.   Steven: Okay, well, I agree. I think it would be very interesting to look at that and a number of other things. We have a number of other things we could do with this database. There are a number of substudies that are in progress. For example, one interesting one is there were some instances we found, because we actually looked at these electrograms, there's something that we termed "competitive atrial pacing," where the device will pace at times when we as clinicians would not want to pace. For example, pacemaker-mediated tachycardia would be an instance of that, but then you can pace in the atrium inappropriately. There's a rhythm called repetitive non-reentrant ventricular atrial systole, which, although it's exotic to all of us, actually turned out to be fairly common where there's pacing in the atrium that occurs for various reasons when we want it to.     We actually saw instances where the device itself induced atrial fibrillation. It wasn't that common, but we did see it. We have a substudy that we're working on about the subjective competitive atrial pacing to see how much of that there was and of what, if any, consequence that was. That's one of the things that's been done. Because we scrutinized these so carefully, we tracked morphology and atrial rate at least as a crude estimate, and we have those data, so we could actually evaluate whether if something looks very, very rapid and disorganized as opposed to more organized electrograms at a slower rate, did that make any difference. We don't have any results for those analyses yet. I agree with Mark that the intermediate durations would be interesting to look at.   Carolyn: I agree too, and I'm really grateful for you sharing those thoughts. Very grateful for both of you for your time today. I just have to congratulate you. I completely agree this paper fills an important knowledge gap, and congratulations once again.   Steven: Thank you very much.   Mark: Thank you.   Carolyn: Thank you for listening. You've been listening to Circulation on the Run. Please tune in next week.
