Why do life science companies still scramble when an inspection is coming, even when their quality systems are solid on paper? Yeime Martich, a 25-year quality veteran, makes the case that readiness is a logistics and culture problem, not a documentation problem, and that the procedures you wrote may be creating more audit risk than you realize.Yeime discusses why "minimally compliant" is a discipline rather than a shortcut, how leadership shapes quality culture through what they ask about, fund, and tolerate, and why the strongest signal of a healthy quality system is when people come to quality voluntarily to report problems.A few of Yeime's key takeaways:Inspection readiness is the natural output of a healthy quality system, not something you build in the weeks before an audit"Minimally compliant" means meeting the regulatory intent without overcommitting in your procedures to things your team can't actually followQuality should come to the table with options, not just a no — release to warehouse on risk while the investigation closes, for exampleLeadership shapes culture through what they ask about, what they fund, and what they tolerateThe strongest quality culture signal: people voluntarily surfacing problems without fear of blameAI is useful for data analysis and review, but accountability for quality decisions sits with people — "AI didn't tell us" showed up in a recent FDA warning letterDesign your QMS around flexibility — rigid procedures that block product release unnecessarily are self-imposed constraints the regulation never requiredAbout Yeime MartichYeime Martich is Vice President of Quality Assurance at TerSera Therapeutics with 25 years of experience in pharmaceutical and medical device quality systems. Before TerSera, she spent over 11 years at Hospira in global compliance roles overseeing internal audit programs across international manufacturing sites, and held quality systems leadership positions at Melinta Therapeutics and Abbott.About The FDA GroupThe FDA Group helps life science organizations rapidly access the industry's best consultants, contractors, and candidates.

For patient referrals: call 602-521-5700What if one of the most common yet misunderstood gynecologic conditions could be diagnosed earlier—without surgery? In this episode of Beyond the Rounds, we explore endometriosis, a condition affecting nearly 190 million people worldwide that still takes an average of 7-10 years to diagnose. Dr. Nolan Fisher sits down with gynecologic surgeon and endometriosis specialist Dr. Rosanne Kho to discuss how advances in imaging, multidisciplinary care and minimally invasive surgery are reshaping the diagnostic and treatment paradigm.Endometriosis is often dismissed or normalized, leaving patients to navigate years of pain, infertility and missed diagnoses. But the field is evolving. With targeted ultrasound, MRI and a shift away from diagnostic laparoscopy as the first step, clinicians now have more effective tools to identify disease earlier and guide treatment based on symptoms, not just surgical findings.This episode explores how endometriosis presents, why it's so frequently missed, and what clinicians can do to improve outcomes through earlier recognition, appropriate imaging and thoughtful referral.This episode is designed for physicians, advanced practice providers and clinicians seeking a practical understanding of endometriosis diagnosis, treatment pathways and multidisciplinary care.What We Cover• Why endometriosis is frequently underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed• The shift from surgical diagnosis to imaging-first approaches• How advanced ultrasound and MRI improve detection• Common symptoms, including pelvic pain, GI and urinary involvement• When to treat—and when not to intervene• Medical vs. surgical management strategies• Fertility considerations and treatment planning• The role of minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery• Multidisciplinary care, including pain management and specialty referral• How to identify patients who need earlier referralKey Topics for Clinicians• Endometriosis• Chronic pelvic pain• Minimally invasive gynecologic surgery (MIGS)• Diagnostic imaging in gynecology• Transvaginal ultrasound (sliding sign)• Pelvic MRI• Fertility and reproductive health• Multidisciplinary care models• Women's health disparities• Early referral strategiesAbout Our GuestDr. Kho is a gynecologic surgeon and endometriosis specialist at Banner - University Medicine Phoenix, with extensive experience in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery and a national reputation for advancing endometriosis diagnosis and care. She previously led programs at both Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic and has published more than 90 peer-reviewed papers focused on improving outcomes for patients with endometriosis.

For patient referrals: Call 602-521-5969 or 602-839-4242What if restoring a patient's core function required more than just closing a defect? In this episode of Beyond the Rounds, we explore complex abdominal wall reconstruction—one of the most technically demanding areas in surgery—and why a multidisciplinary approach is essential for achieving optimal outcomes. Dr. Nolan Fisher sits down with plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Jimmy Chim and general surgeon Dr. Priya Rajdev to discuss how collaboration, surgical innovation and thoughtful pre-operative planning are redefining what's possible for patients with complex hernias and abdominal wall defects.Far beyond a “simple hernia repair,” these cases often involve loss of domain, prior surgical complications or missing abdominal wall components that significantly impact a patient's function and quality of life. From minimally invasive techniques to advanced reconstructive procedures, today's surgical approaches are focused not just on repair, but on restoring strength, stability and independence.This episode explores how these procedures work, which patients may benefit and why optimizing health before surgery is often just as important as the operation itself.This episode is designed for physicians, advanced practice providers and clinicians seeking a practical understanding of complex hernia repair, abdominal wall reconstruction and multidisciplinary surgical care.What We Cover-Why not all hernia repairs are the same—and when cases become “complex”-The concept of loss of domain and its impact on surgical planning-Differences between minimally invasive and open reconstruction techniques-How component separation restores abdominal wall function-The role of mesh—synthetic, biologic and bio-resorbable options-When and why plastic surgery and general surgery collaborate-Prehabilitation: weight loss, diabetes control and smoking cessation-Managing recurrence and why the first repair matters most-Surgical staging vs. single-stage reconstruction-Real-world cases highlighting decision-making and techniqueKey Topics for Clinicians-Complex abdominal wall reconstruction-Ventral and incisional hernias-Loss of domain-Component separation techniques-Minimally invasive hernia repair-Surgical mesh selection-Preoperative optimization (prehab)-Multidisciplinary surgical care-Plastic and reconstructive surgery collaboration-Hernia recurrence preventionAbout Our Guests-Dr. Jimmy Chim is a plastic and reconstructive surgeon specializing in complex abdominal wall reconstruction and advanced soft tissue reconstruction. His work focuses on restoring both form and function for patients with significant surgical defects, trauma or prior complications.-Dr. Priya Rajdev is a general surgeon specializing in minimally invasive foregut and complex abdominal wall surgery. She brings expertise in laparoscopic and robotic techniques to treat hernias and abdominal wall defects through smaller incisions while maintaining strong clinical outcomes.How to Refer a PatientBanner Health providers: Use Cerner's Ambulatory Referral Management (ARM) tool.Community providers: Call 602-521-5969 or 602-839-4242 to schedule a patient for evaluation.DisclaimerThis podcast is intended for educational purposes only and is designed for a clinical audience.

When living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and hypermobility disorders, medications alone rarely resolve all the symptoms. In this episode of Bendy Bodies, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by Dr. Ina Stephens, integrative medicine specialist and Associate Medical Director of the UVA Health EDS and Hypermobility Disorders Center, for a wide-ranging conversation about how lifestyle medicine, nervous system regulation, and whole-body care can dramatically influence outcomes for people with connective tissue disorders.Dr. Stephens explains how her background in infectious disease, vaccinology, and complex care led her to recognize patterns across seemingly unrelated symptoms and why listening deeply to patients often reveals the underlying problem. The discussion explores how nutrition, gut health, vagal nerve tone, sleep quality, and gradual strength building all influence inflammation, fatigue, and autonomic dysfunction in EDS.The episode also dives into the science of the microbiome, why small lifestyle shifts can produce meaningful physiologic change, and how integrative medicine expands the treatment toolbox beyond traditional Western approaches. For patients navigating complex symptoms, and clinicians caring for them, this conversation offers a thoughtful reminder that healing often happens through steady, strategic steps rather than quick fixes. Takeaways: There is rarely a single “magic” treatment for EDS, POTS, or MCAS.  Progress usually comes from strategic sequencing. Overtreating symptoms without addressing underlying patterns can create long-term setbacks. Physical therapy must be individualized in hypermobility, with an emphasis on pacing and trust. Shared decision-making improves outcomes, especially when treatment goals align with what brings the patient meaning and quality of life. Minimally disruptive medicine matters, reducing cognitive, financial, and physical treatment burden is part of effective care. Want to learn more about the UVA EDS Center?

Back pain is one of the most common causes of reduced mobility and loss of independence as we age. In this episode, spine surgeon Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo explains the causes of back and neck pain, when conservative treatment is appropriate, and when spine surgery may become the best option for restoring mobility and quality of life. Chronic back and neck often trigger fear. Many people assume pain is inevitable, that surgery always leads to long downtime, or that recovery means permanent limitation. In this episode, we explore modern advances in spine care, recovery, and how the right mindset and preparation can help people reclaim movement, confidence, and independence at any age. Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo is a board-certified, fellowship-trained spinal and orthopedic surgeon and founder of the Institute for Comprehensive Spine Care, with offices across New York and New Jersey. A graduate of Brown University and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, he completed his orthopedic residency at Washington University in St. Louis and a spine fellowship at UPMC. He is also the creator of the 360 Dynamized Core system for spine-safe core strengthening.    Episode Timeline: 00:00 — A personal story: emergency spine surgery and recovery   05:40 — Why spine pain becomes more common with age   09:10 — Imaging vs symptoms: understanding the disconnect   12:55 — How surgeons decide who needs surgery    18:20 — Mindset, movement, and recovery outcomes    22:10 — Minimally invasive and endoscopic techniques     26:40 — Core strength, prevention, and daily habits      32:50 — A practical action for people in pain today   Connect with Dr. Gbolahan Okubadejo  www.nynjspine.com 360coreboard.com Call to Action:   Find "Growing Older Living Younger: The Science of Aging Gracefully and the Art of Retiring Comfortably" (North America only) or on Kindle.

There is no magic treatment for Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, POTS, or mast cell activation disorders, but there is strategy. In this episode of Bendy Bodies, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by Dacre Knight, MD, founding Medical Director of the UVA Health EDS and Hypermobility Disorders Center, for a practical and deeply thoughtful conversation about how complex chronic conditions should actually be treated. Rather than chasing quick fixes, Dr. Bluestein and Dr. Knight explore sequencing. What to address first when everything is flaring, how to balance short-term symptom relief with long-term sustainability, and why overtreatment can sometimes cause more harm than good. They discuss the pitfalls of siloed care, the insurance barriers that complicate physical therapy, and the importance of starting low, going slow, and minimizing treatment burden. The episode also tackles difficult but essential questions: What does “getting better” really mean in lifelong connective tissue disorders? How do clinicians avoid reactionary prescribing? And how can patients recognize the difference between a thoughtful care plan and a rushed one? Takeaways: There is rarely a single “magic” treatment for EDS, POTS, or MCAS—progress usually comes from strategic sequencing. Overtreating symptoms without addressing underlying patterns can create long-term setbacks. Physical therapy must be individualized in hypermobility, with an emphasis on pacing and trust.

A 2026 prospective cohort study published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention investigated the impact of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) on the long-term survival of cancer patients. Tracking 802 cancer survivors over a median of 14.6 years within the Moli-sani Study, researchers discovered a stark correlation between the consumption of UPFs and mortality risk.The data revealed that individuals consuming the highest amount of ultra-processed foods (measured by weight ratio) experienced a 48% higher rate of all-cause mortality and a 57% higher rate of cancer-specific mortality compared to those in the lowest consumption tier. Crucially, this association persisted even after adjusting for overall diet quality, indicating that the industrial processing itself—rather than just a poor nutrient profile—plays an independent and harmful role in long-term health. The study identified that increased systemic inflammation and an elevated resting heart rate accounted for over 37% of this link, demonstrating how artificial additives and industrial processing disrupt metabolic function.Disclaimers• This information is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.• The findings are based on an observational study, meaning causality cannot be definitively inferred.• Dietary intakes were self-reported, which can be susceptible to misreporting or changes over the lengthy follow-up period.• Nutritional interventions and major dietary changes should always be managed by a qualified healthcare professional or oncology nutritionist.#CancerSurvival #UltraProcessedFoods #UPF #NutritionScience #OncologyNutrition #HealthyEating #DietAndCancer #ScienceUpdate #Alchepharma #Inflammation #FoodProcessing ultra-processed foods cancer survivors 2026, NOVA classification UPF mortality, diet for cancer recovery, Moli-sani study cancer research, inflammation UPF heart rate, 48% higher mortality processed food, AACR cancer epidemiology diet, artificial additives cancer risk, whole foods oncology nutrition, effects of food processing on health, ultra-processed food all cause mortality.

Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) is one of the techniques used by cardiac surgeons to repair or replace valves, including the mitral valve. While the procedure has a shorter recovery time than the traditional sternotomy, it is still an open heart operation, and not the same as the minimally invasive techniques used by interventional cardiologists. SMH Chief of Cardiovascular Surgery Jonathan Hoffberger, DO, explains the different options, and how the heart team approach helps to pair the right patient with the right procedure.

Security has been a constant concern for many IT professionals over the years. Many of us are trying to implement better security controls, and yet at the same time, we try to avoid anything that slows us down. Security clearly hasn't been a big enough concern, as we've had more than our share of SQL Injection issues. These often come about from poor practices, lack of education, and too many people not learning to adopt better habits across time. We've also had no shortage of lost backups, open cloud buckets, and more over the years. While security (or cybersecurity) is listed as a concern for tech management, they are quick to avoid slowing down any development or deployment of software. While it is easier to get time for patching these days, it's still not easy. There are plenty of organizations that prioritize resources spent on tasks other than patching, upgrading systems, or training developers. Read the rest of Minimally Viable Security

Welcome to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked, the podcast dedicated to exploring every facet of Ozempic—from its medical roots to its reputation as a game-changing weight loss trend.Ozempic was originally developed for those managing type 2 diabetes. Its active ingredient is called semaglutide, which mimics a natural hormone in the body known as glucagon-like peptide one. This hormone helps regulate blood sugar and reduces appetite, making you feel fuller for longer. According to Noom, this mechanism led many people to lose weight while taking Ozempic, turning it into a household name far beyond the diabetes community.The medication is injected once weekly. In clinical studies, people taking Ozempic at the highest dose often lost an average of about 15 pounds, which was roughly seven percent of their body weight over forty weeks. Wegovy, a similar medication containing the same active ingredient, is FDA-approved specifically for weight loss and is generally prescribed at a higher dose than Ozempic, leading to even greater results with weight loss reductions closer to fifteen percent of starting body weight.As for how quickly you might lose weight, listeners can expect to see small changes in the first month, with greater progress over several months as the dosage increases. Weight loss is highly dependent on personal factors like diet, exercise, hormones, and health history. GoodRx notes that women may actually be “hyper-responders” to semaglutide, but those with lower estrogen levels, such as postmenopausal women not undergoing hormone therapy, may lose less weight. The key point is that no medication works the same for everyone.Equally important is that Ozempic is not FDA-approved specifically for weight loss—Wegovy and Zepbound are the medications formally approved for this use. People who do not see weight loss benefits on Ozempic may benefit from switching to these alternatives. Ozempic does, however, offer additional health benefits, including improved blood sugar control and reduced risk for heart and kidney disease.Recent news from University College London and the Pharmaceutical Journal has brought new attention to semaglutide's heart health effects. In a large international trial, semaglutide was shown to cut the risk of heart attacks and other cardiac events by about twenty percent, regardless of how much weight was lost. Researchers found that shrinking waistlines accounted for only about a third of the heart benefit, suggesting the drug protects heart health in other ways, including supporting blood vessel health and lowering inflammation. This discovery could profoundly change how Ozempic and similar medications are prescribed—not just for obesity, but possibly for cardiovascular protection even among those with smaller body mass indexes.Another headline update: Ozempic may soon be available as a pill. Rutgers reports that a tablet form of GLP-1 therapy is closer than most people realize, though the current pills don't match the weight loss impact of injectable semaglutide just yet.Ozempic comes with possible side effects, ranging from gastrointestinal issues like nausea to risk of more serious complications, especially at higher doses. Pricing remains high, often around one thousand dollars per month, with insurance rarely covering it for off-label weight loss.So, what can listeners do to boost their chances of success on Ozempic? Noom and GoodRx recommend focusing on balanced meals high in lean proteins, fiber, healthy fats, and hydration. Minimally processed foods and regular exercise can help maximize results and minimize side effects. Collaborate closely with your healthcare professional to tailor your approach based on your unique health profile and goals. If you experience limited benefit, do not hesitate to ask your provider about alternate GLP-1 therapies or other options.Before wrapping up, let's review today's key updates. Ozempic is becoming both more accessible and controversial as demand grows for weight loss, age reversal, and heart health. Major clinical studies are changing the conversation around who benefits most from these medications and how they might be used in the future. The science is evolving fast—today, Ozempic is known for weight loss, but tomorrow it may be just as well-known for protecting hearts and possibly even slowing ageing.Thank you for tuning in to Ozempic Weightloss Unlocked.

Can you live a minimalist lifestyle in a big house? In this episode of Paring Down, I explore what it really means to live minimally in a large home—and whether buying in bulk actually helps you save money or just adds more clutter. Discover how American home sizes have changed over time, why the “bigger is better” mindset often backfires, and how to practice realistic minimalism and intentional living no matter how much space you have. In this episode, you'll learn:

Eating minimally processed foods helped participants lose pounds at nearly double the rate of ultraprocessed diets, even when calories, fat, sugar, and protein were carefully matched Researchers found that people on minimally processed diets improved craving control twofold overall, with a fourfold improvement in resisting savory cravings, making long-term weight management far easier Ultraprocessed foods now make up more than 70% of the U.S. food supply, flooding daily diets with additives, seed oils, and engineered products that undermine health and longevity Large reviews link ultraprocessed foods to a 50% higher risk of heart disease and 32 additional health problems, including sleep issues, anxiety, depression, and digestive disorders Food companies engineer textures, flavors, and even sounds to bypass satiety signals and hook your brain's dopamine response, making ultraprocessed foods as addictive as alcohol or cigarettes

Recently a new trial was published in Nature Medicine comparing the effect of ultra-processed versus minimally processed diets. Specifically, the UPDATE trial compared these two diets in the context of a healthy dietary pattern (in line with the UK's EatWell Guide). This eight-week randomized, crossover trial generated a lot of discussion and was largely seen as being a really useful addition to the evidence base, and providing answers to some previously unexamined questions. In this episode the study's lead author, Dr. Samuel Dicken, explains the background context for the UPDATE trial, provides an insight into its execution, and puts some of the results in context. There is also a discussion about the current state of evidence more broadly and the leading hypotheses around the mechanisms that drive the observations seen with consuming ultra-processed foods. This episode is particularly noteworthy because it provides fresh evidence on an important question: does following dietary guidelines with minimally processed foods confer extra benefits over following the same guidelines with ultra-processed foods?

July 31 2024, a 39-year-old ultrarunner vanished in the rugged North Cascades National Park during a 20-mile trail run. Minimally equipped, he became disoriented on wildfire-altered trails, surviving 30 days on berries and river water. Despite extensive searches by sheriff's deputies, park rangers, and a helicopter, the park's dense forests and remote terrain hid him. A trail crew's chance discovery saved his life as he lay emaciated on a riverbank.  Join us this week as we learn about the incredible survival story of Robert Schock.SHOW NOTE - We're off for the next month as we move into our new studio.  We'll be back in August with new episodes!  Learn more about Locations Unknown: https://linktr.ee/LocationsUnknownCheck out our other shows on the Unknown Media Network:Crime Off The GridOff The TrailsThe Peanut Butter and Mountains PodcastThe Weirdos We Know  Who Runs This ParkNew Patreon Shoutouts: Kierstyn Skelton, Christine Brown, Michelle Barstad, Sara Carroll, & Trina LohmanWant to help the show out and get even more Locations Unknown content!  For as little as $5 a month, you can become a Patron of Locations Unknown and get access to our episodes early, special members only episode, free swag, swag contests, and discounts to our Locations Unknown Store!  Become a Patron of the Locations Unknown Podcast by visiting our Patreon page.  (https://www.patreon.com/locationsunknown)  All our Patreon only content (Audio & Video) can now be accessed via Spotify.  (Active subscription to our Patreon channel is required.) -- Locations Unknown Subscriber Only Show | Podcast on Spotify  Want to call into the show and leave us a message?  Now you can!  Call 208-391-6913 and leave Locations Unknown a voice message and we may air it on a future message! View live recordings of the show on our YouTube channel: Locations Unknown - YouTubePresented by Unknown Media Group.Hosts: Mike Van de Bogert & Joe EratoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/locations-unknown--6183838/support.

Ready to revolutionize your podiatry practice? Minimally invasive foot surgery (MIS) isn't just another technique—it's a complete paradigm shift that delivers extraordinary benefits for both practitioners and patients alike.Dr. TJ Ahn, mentored by the renowned Dr. Steven Aisham, shares his expertise on this game-changing approach that's been refined over fifty years.

Hair plays a crucial role in our identity, often symbolizing youth and confidence. Dr. Alan Bauman, with nearly 30 years in hair restoration, has seen the profound impact of hair loss and emphasizes dispelling misconceptions. Many hesitate to seek help, thinking their hair loss isn't severe or treatments are ineffective. However, early intervention is vital. Addressing hair loss early can prevent further thinning and even reverse it. Dr. Bauman stresses this proactive approach. A common myth is that hair restoration is only for complete baldness. In reality, early action yields better outcomes. Men noticing a receding hairline and women experiencing thinning should seek evaluation. Early detection allows for non-invasive treatments and lifestyle changes to prevent further loss. Minimally Invasive Transplants The era of "hair plugs" is over. Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) has revolutionized transplants, leaving no linear scars and allowing quick recovery. Bauman Medical prioritizes natural hairlines that suit facial features. Patients experience faster recovery, less discomfort, and natural-looking results. While transplanted follicles are permanent, other hair needs ongoing maintenance due to factors like hormones and stress. Advanced Non-Surgical Therapies Modern restoration extends beyond transplants. Options include Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy, using a patient's blood to stimulate growth. Exosome Therapy boosts regeneration, and PDO Threads provide support for growth. FDA-cleared Red Light Therapy, like the Bauman Turbo Laser Cap, promotes healthier hair with daily use. Early Intervention and Future Tech Hair thinning can begin earlier than many realize, sometimes as early as high school or college. Individuals with a family history of hair loss should proactively monitor their hair health. Women with conditions like PCOS are particularly vulnerable to early hair loss due to hormonal imbalances. Regular measurements and early treatments, such as PRP or nutraceuticals, can prevent irreversible damage. One promising development is hair cloning, which could eliminate supply limitations for hair transplants. While still under development, Dr. Bauman has already banked his own hair follicle stem cells in anticipation of this technology. Stem cell banking allows individuals to preserve their healthiest hair follicles for future regenerative therapies, ensuring they are ready when cloning becomes a reality. For those concerned about hair loss, early action is crucial. Avoid quick fixes and consult a qualified, board-certified hair restoration physician. In this podcast, you'll learn: Latest advancements and misconceptions in hair restoration. Minimally invasive transplant techniques with natural results. Advanced non-surgical therapies like PRP, Exosome, and Red Light Therapy. The importance of early intervention and future technologies like hair cloning and stem cell banking.   EPISODE RESOURCES: Instagram LinkedIn Facebook

Summary: In this conversation, Justin Townsend and Adam Berkelmans explore the health benefits of foraging and eating wild foods with guest Arthur Haines. They discuss the nutritional advantages of wild foods compared to cultivated options, the concept of neo-aboriginal living, and the importance of reconnecting with nature for overall well-being. Haines shares insights from his background and research, emphasizing the need for a shift in mindset towards sustainable living and the benefits of hunting and gathering for both personal health and the environment. In this conversation, Arthur Haines discusses the critical role of antioxidants in our diet, particularly how a shift to agricultural diets has diminished our intake of these essential nutrients, leading to chronic diseases. He emphasizes the nutritional superiority of wild foods over cultivated ones, highlighting the importance of understanding the nutritional value of what we consume. Haines also delves into the significance of omega fatty acids, explaining how modern diets are skewed towards omega-6 fatty acids, which can lead to health issues. Finally, he advocates for a deeper connection with nature through foraging and consuming wild foods, which not only benefits our health but also fosters a greater appreciation for the ecosystems around us. - ⁠⁠Leave a Review of the Podcast⁠⁠ - ⁠⁠Buy our Wild Fish and Game Spices⁠⁠ Links: Arthur Haines Arthur Haines YouTube Facebook Books Wilder Waters Website Wilder Waters Community Instagram Takeaways: Foraging connects us to our food and the environment. Wild foods offer greater nutrient density than cultivated foods. The concept of neo-aboriginal living encourages a participatory mindset. Chronic diseases are linked to modern agricultural diets. Learning to feed oneself is a radical act of defiance. Hunter-gatherers had lower rates of tooth decay and chronic disease. Sustainable hunting and gathering can benefit the planet. The decline in dietary diversity is harmful to health. Minimally modified foods retain more nutrients and phytochemicals. Connecting with nature through foraging enhances our relationship with food. Preserving wild species is essential for ecological balance. Diverse diets, including predators, contribute to better health outcomes.

Are “contact lens veneers” just fake news? Why is the traditional 0.7mm prep approach outdated? Are you truly preserving enamel in your veneer preparations? Should you ever bond veneers to root dentin or cementum after crown lengthening? Why is the Galip Gürel technique the gold standard for minimal prep veneers? https://youtu.be/5BEFD1XaZtE Watch PDP219 on Youtube Dr. David Bloom joins Jaz for an insightful episode, sharing his 36 years of experience in cosmetic and restorative dentistry. With over two decades in the same practice, he's seen what works—and what leads to failure—when it comes to veneers. We also cover the key steps in mock-ups, planning, and veneer preparation. Protrusive Dental Pearl:  Always Wax Up for 10: When planning veneers, start with a 10-unit wax-up (even if the patient initially wants 4 or 6). This allows them to visualize their full smile with a mock-up, compare different options, and make an informed decision. It's not about upselling - most patients will appreciate the fuller look. Key Take-aways: Health and diagnosis are foundational in cosmetic dentistry. Visual try-ins are crucial for patient engagement and satisfaction. Minimally invasive techniques are preferred for cosmetic procedures. Communication with patients about their options is essential. Bonding to enamel is more reliable than bonding to dentin. Permission statements help in guiding patient expectations. The transition from veneers to crowns should be carefully considered. Staining is not the primary concern when bonding to dentin. A change in surface texture is key in modern dental preparations. Visual aids are crucial in helping patients understand their treatment options. The Gurel technique emphasizes minimal preparation for veneers. Effective communication with patients can enhance their treatment experience. Understanding occlusion is fundamental in aesthetic dentistry. Veneer thickness should be as minimal as possible for aesthetic results. Patient involvement in the design process is essential. Cementation techniques can vary based on gingival health. Maintaining a facial path of insertion is important for aesthetic outcomes. Building a good relationship with lab technicians is key to successful restorations. Need to Read it? Check out the Full Episode Transcript below!

Biomimetic restorative dentistry has been taught and practiced for over 20 years, with its roots linked to minimally invasive dentistry that started decades earlier. Minimally invasive dentistry sought to conserve tooth structure and restore only parts of the tooth affected by pathologies. With the invention of adhesive materials, adhesive dentistry showed promise in advancing minimally invasive principles with new materials that no longer required retention, but the adhesive restorations still fell short. Teeth are more complex than many other materials that are adhesively connected, so simply bonding the restoration to the tooth did not yield long-term success.In this episode Dr. David Alleman discusses how minimally invasive dentistry paved the way for the more conservative approaches we use today, how biomimetic dentistry made adhesives more predictable, allowing for longer-lasting bonds, and where cosmetic dentistry fits in to the adhesive dentistry spectrum.Send us a textNew 2025 training programs announced:Biomimetic Mastership - class starts February 10.

Liquid biopsies and circulating tumor DNA are changing and improving the way cancer is detected and treated. In this episode, Sameek Roychowdhury, PhD, MD, explains the basics of circulating tumor DNA, how it's being used at the James, his lab's clinical trials, and the promising future. “When a normal cell and a cancer die they sheds fragments of their DNA,” he said. “Cancer can be detected in the blood by looking for these fragments and this is becoming an important research tool and treatment tool for the care of cancer patients.” For example, about 50 percent of cancer patients who have a tumor surgically removed will have a recurrence. And it's very difficult to determine which patients will have the recurrence. Minimally invasive liquid biopsies after surgery “helps us stratify and determine patients with a lesser recurrence risk who won't need chemotherapy or immunotherapy treatment versus those patients who need even more treatment than we've normally given them in the past.” Monitoring circulating tumor DNA “also becomes part of the surveillance program and we'll do a precise test every three months that measures fragments in the blood,” Roychowdhury said, adding that finding a recurrence of cancer from these fragments, months before it would appear on more traditional scans “allows us to make a diagnosis about the molecular drivers of the cancer and we can begin treatment earlier and better understand which treatment options will work best.”

There's a module for that. Module name/project name: FullCalendar Brief history How old: created in Sep 2010 by ablondeau, though I've been behind the most recent releases Versions available: 7.x-2.0 and 3.0.0-beta2 versions available, the latter of which supports Drupal 10 and 11 Maintainership Actively maintained, latest release was this morning Security coverage, though technically the 3.0.x branch will have it once it's stable Test coverage, minimal but on the roadmap Documentation - does have a user guide, but created for the D7 version, so newer documentation is needed Number of open issues: 337 open issues, none of which are bugs against the 3.0.x branch Usage stats: 3,388 sites, though the vast majority of those are for the D7 version, since the 3.0.x branch is very new Module features and usage No jQuery! Lots of configurability plus some extras specifically for Drupal Drag-and-drop to alter events Option to require confirmation Can display toast-style notifications when updates are save Double-click on a day or time to create an event at that time Can display events from different content types, even if they use different fields to store dates, and yes, even different kinds of fields, so a mixture of core and Smart Date fields will work You can set default colors and output type (block or the newer, list-item display), and the ability to override color based on content type or a taxonomy reference This module had been essentially dormant for over 4 years, but I decided to work with Jürgen Haas on reviving it after a similar and popular project called Fullcalendar View was not only marked as “Minimally maintained” and “Maintenance fixes only”, but the project page directed users to contact the maintainer to pay for a premium version, in order to use the current version of the Fullcalendar JS library, or to load events via AJAX, which as been an often-requested feature because Fullcalendar View has had common reports of performance problems on sites with lots of event data. Worse, the maintainer has closed as “won't fix” issues that had community-provided patches, because he only wanted to provide said improvements in the paid, premium version In my work on the Events recipe for Drupal CMS, I knew that having a solid calendar would be important, and I didn't feel good about relying on a module that seemed to be pushing users more and more towards a paid model. I'm grateful to Jurgen and everyone who worked on FullCalendar before us for creating such a robust and extensible code base

It has been found at the top of Mount Everest, the bottom of the ocean, and even inside the human body: plastic, once revered as a modern miracle, is now a global threat. Minimally recycled, it never fully disappears; instead, it simply breaks down into tiny particles called microplastics, which contaminate the air we breathe and the water we drink. In “A Poison Like No Other: How Microplastics Corrupted Our Planet and Our Bodies,” science journalist Matt Simon exposes the far-reaching consequences of this omnipresent material on both our environment and our health. Simon, formerly a staff writer at “WIRED” and now a senior staff writer at Grist, a non-profit media organization focused on climate solutions, joins host Alec Baldwin to discuss the alarming impact of plastic pollution, ways to reduce personal exposure, and the urgent solution he believes is needed to tackle this environmental crisis. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When buying Sisit, a person should know what to ask for. Some features are integral to the Misva and some are Humrot-stringencies to enhance the Misva. The Shulhan Aruch clearly states that the strings must be spun L'shma-for the sake of the Misva. Therefore, strings manufactured by non-Jews, even if a Jew oversees the process, are invalid. However, the stages before the spinning, including the "Niputz"-the combing of the wool, do not require L'shma, according to most early authorities. However, the MaHaram M'Rotenberg did require that even the Niputz be done L'shma. Therefore, if possible, one should try to obtain strings that meet the stricter standards of the MaHaram. Such strings are available today in stores for a few extra dollars. There is a controversy whether the Sisit may be spun by machine. Hacham Bension held that such strings are invalid, and therefore one should make an effort to obtain Sisit spun by hand. The next stage in making Sisit is "Shezira"-twisting several thin strings into a single cord of Sisit. If you look closely at your Sisit, you will notice that each string is actually comprised of several thinner strings twisted together. The Rambam holds that Shezira is optional. However, Maran rules in accordance with the majority opinion that Shezira is mandatory, and it must be done L'shma. Minimally, Shezira requires only two threads be twisted into one. However, The Ramah MiPano, as well as the Ben Ish Hai (Rav Yosef Haim of Baghdad, 1833-1909) in Parashat Noach rule that it is best to have each cord made of eight thinner threads twisted together. This results in a total of 256 individual strings in every Tallit: 8 thin strings comprising each of the eight strings for each of the four corners. This corresponds to a certain mystical intention alluding to the wings of the angels, as elaborated by the Ben Ish Hai. Sometimes the strings that are twisted together become unraveled. Technically, this is not a problem as long as four centimeters remain. In order to prevent this, some have the custom to tie a little knot at the end of each string. This was the practice of the Rabbenu HaAri (Rav Yishak Luria of Safed, 1534-1572), and is cited by the Rama. However, today this is usually not necessary as our strings are generally twisted very tightly and rarely become unraveled. There is a disagreement amongst contemporary Poskim whether one may apply a bit of glue to the tip of the string to prevent it from becoming unraveled. Hacham David, in his Halacha Berura, permits it, whereas Rav Wosner, in his Shebet HaLevi, opposes this, since this was not the traditional practice in previous generations. SUMMARY The ideal Sisit should be combed and spun L'shma and be twisted with 8 thin strings.

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. Dr. Warrick Bishop, a cardiologist, discusses highlights from a medical conference he attended. He focuses on two key topics - the impact of climate change on cardiovascular health, and the treatment of patent foramen ovale (PFO), a common heart condition. Climate change is linked to increased inflammation, coagulation, heat stress, electrolyte imbalances, and air pollution - all of which can negatively impact heart health. Studies have shown that reducing secondhand smoke exposure can significantly lower heart attack risk in affected communities. PFO is a hole in the heart that typically closes at birth, but remains open in about 25% of people. This can allow blood clots to pass from the venous to arterial circulation, potentially causing strokes. Minimally invasive procedures can be used to close the PFO and prevent this complication. Doctor Bishop shares his own experience of having a PFO-related stroke, which resolved without lasting symptoms. He plans to have his PFO closed as a preventive measure.
