If there are few or no branching veins between the access and stenosis, thrombosis could occur   Etiology The most common etiology is venous stenosis caused by a history of vessel wall trauma by centrally-inserted venous devices such as tunneled and non-tunneled dialysis catheters, central lines, pacemakers, or defibrillator. In a study performed at a large academic medical center1, new hemodynamically significant central venous stenosis was associated with the duration of catheter dependence (26% in patients with CVCs for more than 6 months, versus 11% in patients with CVCs for less than 6 months). PICC lines can directly damage cephalic and basilic veins Venous stenosis can often go undetected until AV access creation occurs   Patient Presentation Symptoms of venous insufficiency will be present– most commonly regional edema, in the area of venous stenosis. If there are patent venous branches between the AV anastomosis and the stenotic area, swelling can occur throughout the arm. Pigmentation, induration, dermatosclerosis, and ulceration may also be observed. An extensive collateral network of veins may be visible throughout anterior chest, shoulder, or flank SVC obstruction can result in swelling of the head, neck and shoulders, as well as a feeling of head and neck fullness, airway compromise, and visual problems Normal palpable thrill can be replaced by a strong pulse Dialysis can be complicated by difficulty with needle access, recirculation syndrome, and arm swelling after dialysis sessions. Workup  Central vein thrombosis can be hard to detect on ultrasound because clavicle and sternum can block transmission Venography is essential to determine the presence and severity of venous stenosis or occlusion.   Prevention The ideal scenario is to avoid central dialysis catheters completely, and this involves evaluating CKD patients and placing AVF or AVG before the need for dialysis arises.  If a patient presents placement of an AVF/AVG, it is important to perform venography if a patient has a history of a central venous catheter or clinical signs of venous hypertension. A history of SVC obstruction from any cause can preclude permanent AV access creation in both upper extremities Treatment Endovascular approaches to venous outflow stenosis can be first-line treatment options, due to their minimal risk. They can also be performed at the same time as a diagnostic venogram. Angioplasty alone or with stenting are the endovascular options. In a study by Bakken et al2 that compared primary high-pressure balloon angioplasty versus stenting, primary patency was equivalent between groups, with 30-day rates of 76% for both groups and 12-month rates of 29% for angioplasty and 21% for stenting. Assisted primary patency was also equivalent with a 30-day patency rate of 81% and 12-month rate of 73% for the angioplasty group,  84% at 30 days, and 46% at 12 months for the stenting group. This study, along with others, shows that the major downside of endovascular interventions, whether angioplasty or stenting, often require repeat intervention and have poor long-term patency. For subclavian vein stenosis, angioplasty alone is appropriate due to its anatomical location that can put a stent at risk for extrinsic compression from the first rib and clavicle. Surgical bypass can be performed Possible bypasses include axillary-axillary, axillary-jugular, axillary-right atrial, and axillary-femoral. In these bypasses, the preferred conduits are autogenous saphenous or femoral veins. In cases where the proximal subclavian vein is obstructed, a jugular vein turndown can be performed. In this procedure the distal jugular vein is transected, sewed end-to-side at the distal subclavian vein, effectively acting as a bypass route for that obstructed segment. The Hemoaccess Reliable Outflow (HeRO) Vascular Access Device can be used as a hybrid approach, combining endovascular and open surgical techniques to bypass a central venous occlusion  and provide a reliable outflow for dialysis.  This device has a PTFE inflow limb that is sewn end-to-side onto the brachial artery. This limb is tunneled subcutaneously and connected to a silicone-coated nitinol outflow catheter that is inserted into a central vein and tracked directly into the right atrium. This effectively bypasses central venous stenoses. In the largest study to date on HeRO access grafts placed in 167 patients,3 HeRO primary and secondary patency was 48.8% and 90.8%, respectively, at 12 months. Interventions to maintain or re-establish patency were required in 71.3% of patients resulting in an intervention rate of 1.5/year. Access-related infections were reported in 4.3% patients. The authors concluded that HeRO device had performed comparably to standard AVGs and had proven superior to tunneled dialysis catheters in terms of patency, intervention, and infection rates. If no treatment options for venous hypertension or outflow obstruction  are available, an alternate AV access site can be created, either in the contralateral arm if the SVC is uninvolved, or through placement of femoral AV access or a peritoneal dialysis catheter.   Bleeding Access Site   Etiology and Risk Factors Bleeding can be caused by high venous pressure after dialysis, pseudoaneurysm rupture, or trauma. Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) have a baseline elevated risk of bleeding due to uremia-induced platelet dysfunction and use of systemic anticoagulation within the hemodialysis circuit. Additional risk factors include dialysis through an AV graft, hypertension, longer duration of access use, and compromised integrity of the vascular access due to complications (clotting, infection) or invasive procedures. Dual antiplatelet therapy is also associated with overall bleeding events in ESRD patients. Dialysis patients could be on antiplatelet therapy for management of comorbid cardiovascular risk and/or patency of AV graft Patients with bleeding fistulas often present from their dialysis unit when standard digital pressure at the cannulation site fails to stop the bleeding. This is a very serious condition since most mature fistulas have high blood flow and the patients are at risk for hemorrhagic shock and death.    Initial Management  The first step of management is to obtain hemostasis. Elevate the limb above the level of the heart and apply firm and directed pressure at the site of bleeding using gauze for at least 30-40 minutes Milosevic et al4 reviewed non-operative management of bleeding fistulas and grafts and found that compared to standard dressings, the use of specialized hemostatic dressings decreased bleeding time at arterial and venous cannulation sites. These hemostatic materials included the IRIS compression bandage and cellulose-based, chitosan-based, poly-N-acetyl glucosamine-based, and thrombin-soaked dressings. There has been a “bottlecap method” described where the hollow side of a bottlecap is pressed on top of the puncture site. Maintaining pressure on the cap will cause the cap to fill with blood and clot, which tamponades the bleeding. The provider can also place a shallow figure-of-8 or purse string stitch just below the skin surface to aid in hemostasis. It is important to avoid placing the suture too deep as this can cause inadvertent fistula ligation. During this process, an assistant applies pressure just proximal and distal to the bleeding site to stop blood flow so the sutures can be placed. If these methods fail to achieve hemostasis, apply a tourniquet proximal to the fistula and tighten it until bleeding stops and the radial pulse is lost. This signifies complete occlusion of arterial inflow to the fistula. Tourniquet use should be limited to 3 hours or less, since limb ischemia beyond this timepoint is associated with permanent neuromuscular damage. Regardless of the method used for initial hemostasis, the patient is at risk for repeat hemorrhage, hematoma formation, vessel stenosis, and thrombosis. They should be evaluated by a vascular surgeon as soon as possible.  Definitive Management Definitive management depends on etiology of each case, and there are a variety of interventions that can be pursued (i.e. aneurysmorrhaphy for aneurysmal bleeding) If skin erosion over the conduit is present, it should be assumed that the AV access is infected and emergency intervention should be pursued. A jump graft can be placed through with healthy tissue.  A covered stent could be introduced through a separate percutaneous puncture site Finally, coagulopathy can be addressed by administering cryoprecipitate, DDAVP, erythropoietin, estrogen, tranexamic acid. Aneurysms and Pseudoaneurysms   Definition and Etiology Aneurysms involve all three layers of the vessel wall and they develop due to hemodynamic changes causing remodeling of the vein wall in an AV fistula. This is necessary for vein maturation, but becomes problematic if the post-anastomotic vein continues to dilate and becomes aneurysmal.  Aneurysms can also occur at anastomosis sites due to technical aspects of the surgery. Pseudoaneurysms only involve some layers of the vessel wall caused by repeated puncture for hemodialysis.  Both aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms can enlarge due to venous outflow stenosis causing increased intraluminal pressures. Both true aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms can lead to overlying skin erosion and subsequent hemorrhage, pain, AV access dysfunction, and cannulation difficulties.  Dialysis cannulation should be avoided at the aneurysmal sites to prevent bleeding complications. Diagnosis They can be diagnosed on ultrasound, which also provide information on flow rates, presence inflow/outflow/stenoses, and vessel diameters.  Indications for Treatment Treatment is indicated for aneurysms that are rapidly expanding or ulcerating through the skin surface. These are at high risk for rupture and hemorrhage, which is life-threatening. Treatment is also indicated when the aneurysm occurs at the anastomotic site of the AV fistula, the patient has a cosmetic concern, cannulation becomes difficult, there is concern for infection, or the patient has high-output heart failure that could be exacerbated by high flow through the fistula. Treatment is not indicated in asymptomatic aneurysms, regardless of their size. True  aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are not prone to spontaneous rupture.   Treatment Options Aneurysmorrhaphy is the most common treatment. It involves the resection of the aneurysmal vein wall to restore a normal diameter and removal of excess skin. Anastomosis is performed along the lateral wall to prevent issues with cannulation along the suture line. Aneurysm resection with interposition grafting is also possible. If multiple aneurysmal segments require treatment, staging their repairs can allow for continuation of dialysis without needing to place a temporary dialysis catheter. AV access ligation is an appropriate alternative to AV access salvage in certain situations but usually requires excision of the aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm due to the potential to develop thrombophlebitis and the cosmetic appearance of the thrombosed segment. If there is concern for an infected pseudoaneurysm or aneurysm, surgery should include removal of all infected material. References   1. Al-Balas A, Almehmi A, Varma R, Al-Balas H, Allon M.

Maintaining strength and mobility isn't just about looking fit—it's about preserving independence, health and quality of life as we age. Muscles naturally begin to change around midlife, with metabolism slowing and the body losing some of its ability to build or maintain mass.Without attention, that shift can lead to less strength, more fatigue, and a higher risk of chronic conditions. But experts say muscle longevity—the ability to keep muscles strong and functional well into later years—is possible with the right habits.On this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, The Ledger's Tony Mecia talks with orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist Dr. Robert Morgan about how aging affects muscle, what people can do to counteract the decline, and why it's never too late to start.This episode is a recording of the third session of the free “Move Well, Live Well” webinar series, brought to you by The Charlotte Ledger and OrthoCarolina. This summer, we're bringing you a three‑part series designed to help you stay strong, mobile, and pain‑free as you age. Each session features practical advice from experts you can use right away.We hope you enjoy the conversation with Robert Morgan.

This is the first #coachbetter episode for season seven of the podcast and Kim highlights 5 key themes that have been percolating to the surface in her work over the past academic year. All of these topics have been a big feature of the in-person work Kim has been doing, our global cohorts of The Coach, and the long term consulting work she does with schools.  The themes are: Maintaining confidentiality (with transparency) in coaching relationships (and the importance of separating coaching from any aspect of evaluation, supervision and appraisal) The power of data as a pathway to understanding the impact of coaching The importance of case studies & sharing your impact within your school community; and Developing a coaching mindset and coachability on staff; Finding hope, joy and presence in our work in schools Kim is sharing these because so many of the coaches that she works with, particularly in our global cohort of The Coach, feel like they are alone in these conversations. They wonder if they are the only one who is thinking about and trying to start conversations about these topics in their school. If that sounds like you, you are not alone.  Find the show notes for this episode here.

We happen to work with a lot of contractors, but it doesn't really matter what type of business you're in. There are so many business owners that want to scale their product, actually grow the value of their product. They want to go from selling a product or service that's X and offers X at this price, to being able to 2x or 5x it—make it more robust, bigger, or whatever. We talk about these systems all the time. Implementing effective systems to ensure consistent profitability is a critical aspect of not only running a business but also being able to scale a product. Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose. Let's talk about this idea, and I want to give you a real-world example of a client of ours. I'll share his name—got his permission—who was able to 5x his project size. We only asked a couple of key questions, and I want to walk you through that. My buddy Sean Supple, who owns Supple Homes out of Menlo Park and Palo Alto in the Silicon Valley area of California, was laboring away at this wonderful home building company. They were servicing a lot of $2–3 million projects, which, depending on where you live, is a significant project size. But Sean knew he and his team were capable of taking on more unique opportunities, particularly in their market, and they wanted to go after those. Like most contractors, cash flow was always an issue due to the expense of running a business. With 78–82% cost of goods, plus the realities of the Silicon Valley market, it was a challenge. So Sean and his team committed to subdividing their bank accounts—something we talk about all the time. By cutting up their dollars and placing them in separate “homes,” they could see where the money was and also map out their entire process. They created a master process roadmap, even distilled into learning pathways, and committed to RPM communication (Repetition, Predictability, and Meaning). That meant regular agenda-driven, leader-led, one-hour team meetings, departmental meetings, one-on-one check-ins, and executive-level meetings. But what they found themselves needing was a more meaningful marketing plan. So we asked this one key question—the one I want you to write down: Where has 80% of your business come from in the past? We meet so many business owners who want to hire outsourced marketing firms. That's fine, but the reality is they're chasing new pathways when often the answer is in plain sight. Building new channels is like building a building—it takes years of groundwork. Instead, look back and ask: Where has 80% of your business come from in the past? For Sean, the answer was easy: architects. Rather than wasting resources on random efforts, we mapped out a simple, intentional, repetitive, predictable, and meaningful outreach process to a basic list of local architects. Within a few months, Supple Homes began securing larger, more complex projects by nurturing those existing relationships. Sean and his team built financial processes, marketing processes, sales/conversion processes, and operational processes. This gave both his team and prospective clients confidence in their ability to deliver on larger, more challenging projects. The impact of Sean's new commitment to process implementation went far beyond immediate financial gains. By maintaining a solid cash balance—something many contractors struggle with—they no longer had to rely on borrowed money, credit lines, or constant lending. Instead, with subdivided cash and clear processes, they sustained financial stability and gained the confidence to take on larger projects. As a result, Sean and his team successfully transitioned from handling $2–3 million projects to $8–11 million projects. Yes, the market helped, but the real key was their strong financial foundation. Winning projects is one thing; delivering them profitably and on schedule is another. Sean's story illustrates several key points for contractors looking to improve profitability: Regular financial tracking—even if only a few minutes a week—can greatly improve cash flow management. Subdividing bank accounts helps visualize and control finances. Much of cash management is more about psychology than the dollar itself. Control your money rather than letting it control you. Maintaining a healthy cash balance provides confidence and capability to take on larger projects. Cash gives you options. Without it, your options shrink. Improved processes and profitability allow reinvestment in the business, employee incentives, and personal profit—all critical for long-term success. By implementing these systems, you can achieve the kind of growth Sean did. Markets will rise and fall, but preparation and process allow you to handle whatever comes your way. So remember this key question: Where has 80% of your business come from in the past? And what systems do you have to repetitively, predictably, and meaningfully mine that 80%? Because that's where most of your future business will likely come from as well. We can help you map this out. If you'd like a one-time consulting opportunity with us, go to businessonpurpose.com, fill out the contact form, and we'll walk you through options to get kickstarted. And if you want to work with us long term, we'll explain how that works too.

At the Sinners & Stardust convention, focused on "dark fantasy" or "romantasy" books, there were reports of inappropriate behavior where male attendees and authors were groped by some female attendees. This was discussed in a YouTube video by Clownfish TV, which highlighted that such actions were non-consensual and raised concerns about double standards in media coverage compared to if the genders were reversed. No specific individual was named as a victim, and the incident was described more generally as affecting multiple men at the event.

What if the secret to marathon success isn't running more miles, but spending more time rehearsing the tiny details everyone ignores?I thought I was ready for this race. I had the fitness. But a few small mistakes — like when and how I took in water, what I carried (or didn't), and how I paced the early miles — taught me some hard truths. In this episode, I share what really trips up runners on race day—even when they're fit and ready. It's not always about how many miles you run or how fast your watch says you should go. Instead, it's the small stuff most people ignore that ends up deciding your finish time. If you've ever had a rough race despite solid training, this one will help you figure out what went wrong—and how to fix it next time.Key TakeawaysRace-day prep matters more than fitness. Small things like water and fueling can make or break your race, even if you're in great shape.Practice your race plan ahead of time. Don't wait until race day to figure out how you'll drink water or take gels—practice it during training.You don't need to train harder to race better. Maintaining a base and peaking smartly for a few weeks can keep you fresh and reduce burnout.Timestamps00:19] What You'll Learn[02:48] I Learned What Not To Do In the Marathon[03:51] Use This Free Training Plan To Run Your Best[04:47] I Learned What Not To Do In the Marathon With This[06:16] The Fix For Race Day Fails[07:07] Marathon Hydration/Nutrition Drama Continues[07:37] Learning From My Mistakes Mid-raceLinks & Learnings

You know those survival myths that sound all badass but might just get you into more trouble? Like the whole "swim parallel to shore" deal when caught in a rip current? Well, turns out, sometimes it's better to conserve your energy and float until the current weakens. And punching a shark in the nose? Sure, sounds tough, but it's not always the best move. Maintaining eye contact and slowly backing away might be safer. And starting a fire by rubbing two sticks together?

Maintaining personal health can often feel like a secondary priority, especially if you have a physically demanding job. Sophie, a former military personnel, shares her transformative journey from strict discipline to a balanced lifestyle, emphasizing the importance of personal well-being.Sophie's story begins with her rigorous routine of intense exercise and strict dieting, driven by the pressures of military expectations. She recalls, "I was so committed to working out, maybe even three times a day, always getting my run in." This relentless pursuit of fitness, however, led to a disconnection from her own body and health.The turning point came when Sophie realized the need for a mindset shift. She began to view food as fuel and exercise as an opportunity rather than an obligation. "I was able to see food as fuel and exercise as something I got the opportunity to do," she reflects. This change not only helped her regain her health but also enriched her personal relationships and overall life satisfaction. She began to enjoy life so much more. She wanted to be around other people more and that's what really made her feel like she'd come back to herself. Apply for coaching w/Cynthia:  https://0u8h3wddwmr.typeform.com/StrategyCallDiscover the truth about HA:  click the link to download Cynthia's fact sheet that debunks common myths and misinformation! Website: https://www.periodnutritionist.comInstagram: www.instagram.com/period.nutritionistFor the full show notes - please visit my website: periodnutritionist.com
