Power monitoring is no longer just an electrical concern. It directly impacts how your HVAC systems perform, how stable your BAS is, and how much your building costs to operate. As buildings electrify, add EV chargers, convert to heat pumps, and increase server loads, your electrical infrastructure becomes the backbone of performance. If power quality degrades, everything downstream feels it. In this episode, you will explore how electrical data connects to equipment life, demand charges, and system reliability. More importantly, you will see how your BAS can shift your facility from reactive troubleshooting to proactive control. Topics Covered Why power monitoring matters more as buildings electrify Real power, energy consumption, and demand charges explained How power factor and harmonics quietly impact equipment life Phase imbalance, voltage events, and hidden failure risks Using your BAS for demand limiting, load shedding, and peak shaving If you manage HVAC or building automation, understanding power data may be one of the most practical ways to reduce cost and extend equipment life this year.

Andy Cumpstey is joined by Christian Macutkiewicz Consultant General, HPB and Hernia Surgeon at Manchester Royal Infirmary, Director of The Gallstone Clinic and Manchester Hernia at Spire Manchester Hospital and the incoming President of the Association of Surgeons of Great Britain and Ireland, and Dimitris Damaskos Consultant General Surgeon within the Department of Surgery at the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh (NHS Lothian), Honorary Clinical Senior Lecturer at the University of Edinburgh. They discuss the postoperative period as a critical part of the perioperative journey, emphasizing the importance of clear postoperative communication, reassurance even after "successful" operations, and explaining complications and expected recovery timelines. They highlight challenges in recognizing deterioration, including reduced reliance on clinical examination skills among junior doctors and the systems-based concept of "failure to rescue," arguing that consistent ward-based recognition systems and high-volume units help detect complications earlier. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) pathways are cited, including using day-3 CRP thresholds to trigger CT imaging for early detection of anastomotic leak. They note post-COVID pressures to clear surgical backlogs have increased situations where patients are operated on by surgeons who did not initially see them, potentially weakening trust and continuity when complications occur, and they discuss flattening hierarchy so trainees can do ward rounds with consultant support. The conversation covers future technology, including AI for risk stratification and imaging interpretation, and remote continuous vital-sign monitoring, while acknowledging data governance challenges and potential deskilling. The episode closes with a discussion of robotic surgery: improved optics and precision and usefulness for more complex cases (including abdominal wall reconstruction), but with concerns about cost, rollout, training implications, and differing adoption between the UK, US, and New Zealand. -- Join us at Evidence Based Perioperative Medicine (EBPOM) World Congress 2026 in London.

At the moment, organic cotton farmers in countries such as India and Pakistan earn an average of just $1000 a year. Meanwhile, premiums are stacking up through the supply chain, brands are charging more at retail, but the people actually growing the crop see only a fraction of the value. In this episode of Ecotextile Talks, host Philip Berman talks to Bart Vollaard from the Organic Cotton Accelerator (OCA) about why he believes the current premium model isn't delivering for the farmers it's supposed to support, and reveals OCA's ambitious new strategy to change that. They discuss how a pioneering new farm fund could decouple farmer income from the unpredictability of market premiums, why OCA is broadening its focus beyond economics into the social and environmental realities of farming life, and what it will take to move organic cotton beyond its stubborn 2.5% share of global production. With 100,000 farmers across 70+ partners, OCA has the data and the relationships to make this work. But as Bart explains, it won't happen without more brands stepping up.

What if the “wait and see” approach to suspicious oral lesions is putting patients at risk? In this episode, Dr. Paras Patel, an oral maxillofacial pathologist based in Texas, joins us to challenge outdated thinking and share a more proactive, data-driven approach to early detection and prevention. We begin with a key shift in the field: moving from the term ‘potentially malignant lesions' to ‘precancerous lesions', and what that change signals about risk, responsibility, and intervention. Dr. Patel unpacks how evolving diagnostic criteria, new treatment pathways, and better follow-up protocols are changing outcomes. He explains why he favors a two-week monitoring window for leukoplakia, how non-traditional risk factors like HPV and iron deficiency come into play, and why there is no single pathway to disease. The conversation also explores how biomarkers, advanced testing, and even AI can support clinicians in tracking change over time and making more informed decisions. Finally, Dr. Patel shares practical guidance on managing ulcers and tissue abnormalities and why consistent follow-up is critical, even after a patient has been referred.Key Points From This Episode:Updated terminology, from ‘potentially malignant lesions' to ‘precancerous lesions'.How the field has evolved through updated criteria, new treatment options, and more. How Dr. Patel approaches follow-up to protect patients from developing cancer.Developments in pathology and treatment methods. Why Dr. Patel favors a two-week period to monitor leukoplakia. Non-traditional risk factors, including HPV and iron deficiency. Understanding the multiple pathways to this kind of pathology. Leveraging a variety of biomarkers and tests for direction as a clinician. How AI can support this data collection process. What Dr. Patel recommends for navigating ulcers and tissue during surgery.The platinum-based therapy he has been using with great results.Why follow up protocol is so important.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Dr. Paras Patel on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/paras-patel-6023a7a1/ Dr. Paras Patel on ResearchGate — https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Paras-B-Patel-2158422405 Center for Oral Pathology — https://www.centerfororalpathology.com/ Oral Diagnostics SDFW — oraldiagnosticsdfw@gmail.com WHO Oral Epithelial Dysplasia: Classifications — https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6503768/ Yen-Chen Kevin Ko on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/yen-chen-kevin-ko-561469115/ Glenn Hanna on ResearchGate — https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Glenn-J-Hanna-2006701454 Alessandro Villa on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/alessandrovilla-oralmedicine/ Nivolumab for Patients With High-Risk Oral Leukoplakia — https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37971722/  MD Anderson — https://www.mdanderson.org/ Everyday Oral Surgery Website — https://www.everydayoralsurgery.com/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Instag

Menopause Mastery Show | Starting HRT After 65: Is It Too Late? Transdermal Estrogen and Bone, Sleep & Dementia Risk   Welcome to Menopause Mastery! In this episode, Dr. Betty Murray examines whether starting menopausal hormone therapy after age 65 is always unsafe, arguing that blanket "no" answers stem from an evidence vacuum and fear following the 2002 Women's Health Initiative (WHI), which used oral conjugated equine estrogen and synthetic progestins.    Dr. Murray contrasts oral therapy's first-pass liver metabolism and clotting risk with transdermal bioidentical estradiol, which has observational and retrospective data (including a large Medicare analysis) associated with no increased DVT, stroke, or heart attack risk. She highlights evidence for fracture reduction and maintained vertebral bone density with long-term therapy, discusses sleep benefits (a modifiable dementia risk factor), notes limited cognitive trials in older starters, and emphasizes individualized risk assessment (cardiovascular screening, genetics like APOE4) and monitoring; she also recommends vaginal estrogen to reduce UTIs and urosepsis risk.    This episode is for women who feel they may have missed their window on starting HRT, and why it may not be too late. In fact, women of all ages will benefit from this information, so don't forget to share it with someone you know!    00:00 HRT After 65 02:36 The Evidence Vacuum 04:55 Myth of the Window 06:27 WHI vs Modern Estrogen 08:36 Transdermal Safety Data 10:08 Why Observational Counts 14:51 Risk Math in Your 70s 19:32 Bone Density Benefits 23:08 Sleep and ApoE4 24:30 APOE4 Risk Basics 25:07 Sleep as Brain Protection 25:55 Transdermal Estrogen for Sleep 27:12 Insomnia Raises Dementia Risk 28:22 Personalizing HRT for Sleep 30:03 Cardiovascular Risks and Screening 34:56 Evidence Gaps and WHI Context 38:38 APOE4 Sleep and Estradiol Link 40:09 Decision Framework Over 65 43:08 Monitoring and Follow Up 45:47 Alternatives and Tradeoffs 48:16 Vaginal Estrogen and Wrap Up   Connect with Dr. Betty Murray:  Betty Murray Website: https://www.bettymurray.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drbettymurray/   Like, comment, and subscribe on YouTube:  @drbettymurray     Links:  The Fierce Female Method for Longevity (Dr. Betty's book): https://fierce.hormoneshelp.com/  Menrva Telemedicine: https://gethormonesnow.com/  FREE Hormone Quiz: https://bit.ly/3wNJOec  Living Well Dallas: https://www.livingwelldallas.com/  Hormone Reset: https://hormonereset.net/   More from the Podcast:  Subscribe to #MenopauseMastery → https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwONPdSvb2-YYY74VhD-XBw  Apple Podcasts → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/menopause-mastery/id1607369247  Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/0tNsjm32CZNXSgSFEwS3uH   Thank you for listening to Menopause Mastery.

School Safety Today podcast, presented by Raptor Technologies.In this episode of School Safety Today by Raptor Technologies, host Dr. Amy Grosso interviews SRO Todd Brendel of Dayton Independent Schools (KY), who shares frontline insights on the importance of knowing where students and staff are throughout the school day. He explains how they manage student movement, visibility, and accountability, including the tools, processes, and technology they use to support safety.KEY POINTS:1. Monitoring campus movement can help reduce bullying, vandalism, vaping, and unsafe meetups.2. Visibility into movement data helps staff identify patterns, monitor time out of class, and address concerning behaviors sooner.3. Small operational decisions often have a greater impact than high-profile threat scenarios.Our guest, Todd Brendel, is a veteran law enforcement leader and School Resource Officer (SRO) serving at Dayton Independent Schools in Dayton, Kentucky. He began his career in policing in 1990 and was among the first School Resource Officers in Kentucky in 1999. Over the course of his career, he served in patrol and leadership roles, and eventually as Police Chief before retiring in 2020.Following his retirement, Brendel returned to school safety work and is now in his fourth year as an SRO at Dayton. He has also served as president of Kentucky's SRO association and remains deeply committed to strengthening campus safety through practical systems, strong school culture, and thoughtful use of technology.

Du denkst, dein IoT-Kram ist harmlos: ein Thermometer, ein Staubsaugerroboter, ein bisschen Smart Home. Aber was, wenn genau diese Geräte der perfekte Tunnel aus deinem Netzwerk sind, weil sie selten sauber segmentiert werden, kaum jemand Egress Traffic prüft und Authentifizierung oft mit Autorisierung verwechselt wird?In dieser Episode nehmen wir drei Sicherheitsvorfälle auseinander und ziehen konkrete Learnings daraus:Den Aquarium-Thermometer-Case im Casino mit ungewöhnlichem Outbound Traffic, alternative Exfiltration Kanäle und die Frage, ob IoT wirklich das Einfallstor war oder eher der Exit. Ein Jeep Cherokee Hack von 2015, inklusive offenen Port 6667, DBus-Zugriff, Firmware ohne Signierung, CAN-Bus und einem Diagnosemodus, der plötzlich die Bremsen ausknipst. Ein MQTT Case rund um Staubsaugerroboter, Pub/Sub, Wildcards und fehlende ACLs, also Mandantenisolierung zum Weglaufen.Am Ende bleibt eine unbequeme, aber sehr praktische Checkliste: Segmentierung, Zero Trust, Least Privilege, Monitoring und Logging, Secure Boot und vor allem Egress Traffic als First Class Control.Und jetzt Hand aufs Herz: Was ist deine beste Ausrede, warum dein Netzwerk noch nicht segmentiert ist?Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

Online microbial monitoring remains commercially stalled despite transformative performance gains. Why does a technology that compresses Legionella detection from ten days to four hours still sit at just $16–20 million annually within a $4–6 billion water quality market? The contradiction is structural: compliance frameworks still mandate culture-based methods, forcing utilities to treat rapid systems as add-ons rather than replacements. With no regulatory urgency and limited operational pain, time savings alone fail to unlock municipal budgets.The growth that does exist is concentrated in industrial settings where faster data links directly to risk, uptime, and chemical optimization. Divya and Rhys position the inflection around regulatory acceptance, Chinese policy signals, and whether industrial ROI can ultimately pull municipal standards forward.Access the BlueTech Intelligence Platform for all publications.Register for the upcoming web briefing on PFAS Concentration.--Presented by BlueTech Research®, Actionable Water Technology Market Intelligence.

If you've ever thought, “What's the worst that could happen?” — today's episode of The Rizzuto Show answers that with: a Lego and a 75-inch QLED.We kick things off with a listener email that spirals faster than a toddler with building blocks. A military family makes new friends. Their kid launches a Lego. The Lego meets TV. The TV loses. Suddenly it's a $1,200 moral dilemma involving Amazon orders, Facebook Marketplace dreams, and whether you're entitled to the “damaged goods” after offering to replace it. Is it doing the right thing… or financing someone else's home upgrade? We debate it like the totally qualified life coaches we are. Spoiler: don't bring your kids anywhere. Ever.Then we dive headfirst into the latest dating insanity lighting up TikTok: Alpine Divorce — where someone literally leaves their partner stranded on a hike. Yes, this is apparently a thing. Yes, we're concerned. And yes, King Scott briefly considers whether he would've tried this in a past relationship. From narcissistic punishment hikes to ghostlighting (ghosting + gaslighting = modern romance), this comedy podcast unpacks the absolute circus that is dating in 2026.And because love clearly needed one more hit, divorce lawyers of Reddit reveal the pettiest reasons people filed for divorce. We're talking:• Asking how someone takes their coffee for seven years• Smacking lips while eating• $42,000 spent on psychic hotlines• Monitoring toilet paper usage like it's a federal auditSomewhere in here we accidentally hold a memorial for Ms. Cleo, question which professions cheat the most (uniforms… looking at you), and discover that apparently pharmacists are the gold standard of loyalty.

Welcome to Fertility and Sterility Roundtable, hosted by Dr. Emily Barnard and Dr. Ben Peipert! Each week, we will host a discussion with the authors of "Views and Reviews" and "Fertile Battle" articles published in a recent issue of Fertility and Sterility.  Today, we will be discussing the Fertile Battle from the February issue of Fertility and Sterility which is entitled "Should you do ultrasound monitoring and trigger for intrauterine insemination cycles? We are joined by two of the authors, Dr. Cassie Hobbs who will be taking the "pro" side in favor of ultrasound monitoring, and Dr. Lindsay Hartup, who will be arguing to do away with ultrasound monitoring.  Dr. Cassie Hobbs is a second-year Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellow at the University of Pennsylvania. She completed her OB/GYN residency training at Brown University and received her medical degree from Duke University School of Medicine. She is passionate about examining disparities that exist in reproductive medicine and taking steps to make family building a more equitable process for all.  Dr. Lindsay Hartup is a Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility fellow at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She completed medical school and Obstetrics and Gynecology residency at the University of Texas Health San Antonio. Her research interests are fertility preservation/oncofertility, assisted reproductive technology, and chronic endometritis.

Anthropic's refusal to remove safeguards against mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons in its interactions with the Department of Defense establishes an explicit boundary on the use of AI in federal contracts. The company cited specific civic and legal risks, emphasizing that current AI systems are not reliable enough for autonomous weapon deployment and warning that government pressure on vendors to bypass statutory constraints poses broader accountability issues. This underscores a shift in liability for MSPs and IT providers—any weakening of safeguards under contract does not eliminate risk but instead transfers possible exposure down the technology supply chain. This position is reinforced by the lack of unconditional trust in military oversight, as highlighted by the Pentagon CTO's remarks, and by clear legal challenges, including violations of the Fourth Amendment and Department of Defense Directive 3000.09. Dave Sobel asserts that professional liability and cyber policies do not typically cover actions undertaken solely at government request where legal limits are breached. This increases the necessity for MSPs and IT leaders to verify that contract language explicitly defines acceptable AI use and to ensure written documentation before government or enterprise client demands arise. Additional analysis includes operational deployments of AI in service and workplace environments. Burger King's AI chatbot, Patty, and ServiceNow's autonomous request resolution underscore the friction between efficiency claims and trust gaps, as evidenced by a YouGov survey that found 68% of consumers lack confidence in AI customer service. Dave Sobel notes that MSP benchmarks tied to vendor ticket closure rates may not reflect real client satisfaction or risk, especially when legal requirements for monitoring and consent are not met. The episode further covers market reactions to speculative reports on AI-driven job displacement, studies demonstrating AI's failure to maintain human-like restraint in conflict scenarios, and IBM's valuation drop due to AI modernization tools. For MSPs and IT decision-makers, the practical takeaway is the need for documented governance, explicit contractual safeguards, and ongoing risk assessments when deploying or recommending AI solutions—particularly in environments where trust, human oversight, and insurability are not yet aligned with technical capability.

Eric Richins took precautions. He consulted divorce lawyers. He met with estate planners. He removed Kouri from his life insurance policy. He transferred business assets into a trust controlled by his sister. He reportedly told people he suspected his wife was trying to poison him.And then he stayed.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the psychology of victims who remain in relationships they believe are dangerous. This isn't about blaming Eric or questioning his judgment. It's about understanding forces most people never have to face.Suspecting your spouse might kill you is unlike any other suspicion. It's not infidelity or money problems. It's existential. It requires accepting that the person sleeping next to you, the parent of your children, might want you dead. The brain rejects that conclusion.We analyze the protective measures Eric reportedly took while staying married. He wasn't ignoring the danger—he was preparing for it. But taking defensive steps isn't the same as leaving. Why the gap?We examine the trap of an unbelievable suspicion. If you tell someone "I think my wife is poisoning me," you sound paranoid. Delusional. Who helps you escape a truth no one believes?We discuss the role of children. Eric and Kouri had three kids together. How does that factor into staying? Protective instinct? Monitoring the threat? Something else?And we identify warning signs for friends and family. What should you recognize if someone you know is in this situation?

This week, we're joined by Alexis Gauba, Co-Founder of Raindrop, an AI native observability platform built for agents in production.Alexis breaks down why operating agents is fundamentally different from monitoring traditional software. As systems shift from deterministic code to probabilistic behavior, dashboards alone are not enough. Teams need to detect unknown issues, track signals like forgetting, and understand long agent trajectories across millions of AI events.We discuss why agent observability has become essential over the past year, what makes agent infrastructure distinct from prior platform shifts, and when internal tooling stops scaling. Alexis also explains Raindrop's approach to production monitoring, combining explicit signals with automated detection to help teams not just find issues, but fix them.Episode chapters:2:05 - Founding Raindrop3:54 - Building with Close Friends5:44 - What Raindrop Actually Does7:45 - The Reliability Challenge of Agents9:55 - Monitoring Agents at Scale14:45 - Experiencing the Pain Firsthand18:00 - The Rise of Agent Infrastructure22:17 - Internal AI Use Cases24:07 - Hiring for Initiative and Ownership28:30 - The Power of Multitasking32:06 - Quick Fire Round This episode is brought to you by Grata, the leading deal sourcing platform for private equity.

Is the release of files on Project Artichoke a joke, mockery, or part of a plan to deconstruct the state? While parroting patriots brag about Olympic gold medals, the White House is at work gutting the tenth amendment, first over artificial intelligence, and now over glyphosate and agricultural chemicals.The release of files on 9/11, JFK, RFK, MLK, Epstein, etc., have vindicated as many conspiracy theories. But much of what was learned by some had already been known by others. Other files have not been released, or conspiracies exposed, like Project Artichoke or Northwoods. A new document pertaining to Artichoke was added to a CIA archive recently but the program has been known about since the 1970s. Nothing new has been released on Northwoods, yet the paper circulated as if it had been in 2025. DOGE exposed waste, but this was not the first time that has happened. Former FBI officials saying phones can be used to spy or influencers pointing out that many foods are food-like substances are both old news. The public is being fed already available information laced with poison. The goal appears to be the undermining of what little faith remains in all foundational, legacy systems. People then demand new parties and system of government. This is where Curtis Yarvin, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and JD Vance, among others, come into play. Their neoreactionary movement advocates for exposing flaws in the current system - failed democracy and bloated bureaucracies - to replace them with technological-monarchy and autocracy. A great example of how this is being done can be found in the issue of glyphosate. In Dec 2025: USDA announces $12 Billion to help farmers pay for chemicals/fertilizer. On Jan 2026: USDA releases the Pesticide Data Program report declaring 99% of food "safe” based on a USDA benchmark. On Feb 2026: Trump uses the Defense Production Act to label weedkiller a "national security asset." As with the Big Beautiful Bill, which was a massive and wasteful bill that stripped state-rights over Artificial Intelligence, HR 7567 is attempting to do the same with pesticide labeling. It calls for “uniformity in pesticide labeling nationally” and will “prohibit any State... or a court from directly or indirectly... hold[ing] liable any entity.” The bill effectively destroys the 10th amendment and state rights, setting an additional precedent for federal control. It's not just business as usual, it's worse business and it's worse than usual. The long declassified Project Artichoke, or the exploration of mind control, supposedly being to classified at the same time appears to be nothing more than a mockery and a joke.https://www.congress.gov/119/bills/hr7567/BILLS-119hr7567ih.pdfhttps://www.usda.gov/farmers-first https://www.ams.usda.gov/press-release/usda-publishes-2024-pesticide-data-program-annual-summaryhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2026/02/promoting-the-national-defense-by-ensuring-an-adequate-supply-of-elemental-phosphorus-and-glyphosate-based-herbicides/?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Podcast: PrOTect It All (LS 27 · TOP 10% what is this?)Episode: Compliance Isn't Security: NERC CIP 15 and the Real Gaps in OT Network MonitoringPub date: 2026-02-23Get Podcast Transcript →powered by Listen411 - fast audio-to-text and summarizationPassing an audit doesn't mean you're secure. In this episode of Protect It All, host Aaron Crow dives into one of the biggest misconceptions in operational technology: the belief that compliance equals protection. Using NERC CIP 15 as a real-world case study, Aaron explores why meeting regulatory requirements is only the starting point - not the finish line. A major focus of this conversation is OT network monitoring, especially the often-overlooked east-west traffic inside your environment. Many organizations monitor perimeter traffic while internal blind spots remain wide open. You'll learn: Why compliance frameworks don't automatically create security The real challenges of implementing NERC CIP 15 at scale Why internal network visibility (east-west monitoring) matters How to establish meaningful baselines in legacy OT environments The difference between audit success and operational resilience Why architecture, tooling, and skilled personnel must work together Whether you're working in utilities, manufacturing, or critical infrastructure, this episode provides practical guidance on how to move beyond checklists and build security programs that truly reduce risk. Tune in to learn how to transform compliance requirements into real operational protection - only on Protect It All.

Alcohol consumption in the United States is declining. Gallup reports that only 54% of Americans now drink — the lowest level recorded in decades — and nearly half of Americans say they are actively trying to drink less.On the surface, this sounds like clear progress.But in this episode, Molly explores an important question raised by Dr. Adi Jaffe in a recent article: Are we truly becoming more emotionally resilient… or are we simply swapping one escape route for another?As cannabis use rises alongside declining alcohol consumption, it's worth examining whether substitution equals transformation — or whether real change requires something deeper.This episode unpacks the cultural shift away from alcohol, the rise in cannabis use, and the critical distinction between behavioral change and emotional growth.In This Episode, You'll Learn:The latest statistics on declining alcohol consumption in the U.S.Why cannabis use is increasing as alcohol use declinesWhat research says about cannabis use and alcohol reductionThe difference between substitution and emotional resilienceWhy simply replacing alcohol doesn't necessarily change your relationship with discomfortHow psychological dependence operates beneath surface-level behavior changeThe core beliefs that often drive alcohol useA simple self-reflection exercise to assess your own coping patternsKey Statistics Discussed54% of Americans report drinking alcohol (Gallup 2025)Nearly half of Americans are trying to drink less65% of Gen Z plans to cut down or abstain from alcoholApproximately 178,000 alcohol-related deaths occur annually in the U.S.41% of young adults report cannabis use in the past year29% report past-month cannabis use10.8% report daily cannabis useAbout 3 in 10 cannabis users are at risk of Cannabis Use DisorderThe Core QuestionReducing alcohol is meaningful.But emotional resilience is something deeper.This episode challenges you to consider:If alcohol disappeared tomorrow, what would you reach for?Are you choosing relaxation — or needing escape?Have your behaviors changed… or have your beliefs changed?True transformation happens when you dismantle the belief that you need something outside of yourself to manage your internal state.Resources MentionedDr. Adi JaffeThe Abstinence Myth by Dr. Adi JaffeUnhooked by Dr. Adi JaffeSunnyside mindful drinking app (15-day free trial available)Monitoring the Future (University of Michigan)CDC Cannabis Use DataHarvard Health on cannabis vs. alcohol risksBrown University study on cannabis and alcohol consumptionLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Wölfe sind zurück – aber wie weiß man das eigentlich genau? Wer stellt fest, ob sich ein Rudel etabliert hat? Wie funktionieren Wildkameras, genetische Analysen und speziell ausgebildete Spürhunde? Und was unterscheidet eine Sichtung von einem belastbaren Nachweis? In dieser Folge spricht Peter mit Alessandro Sgro, der in der Nordeifel aktiv am Wolfsmonitoring beteiligt ist. Es geht um echte Feldarbeit, um Fährten, Losung, Fotofallen – und darum, wie wissenschaftliches Monitoring hilft, Emotionen durch Fakten zu ersetzen.

Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is the use of antiretroviral medications taken by individuals who are HIV-negative to prevent HIV acquisition. There are 30,000 new HIV infections annually in the US.  How effective is it? When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective at reducing the risk of HIV transmission through sexual exposure and injection drug use. Patients who are adherent to PrEP can lower their risk of contracting HIV by 99%. The effectiveness of oral PrEP is highly adherence dependent. In trials with 70% adherence, the relative risk of HIV acquisition was 0.27, compared to 0.51 with 40-70% adherence and no significant benefit with adherence ≤40%. How does PrEP work? PrEP works by maintaining therapeutic drug levels in the bloodstream and in target tissues. If HIV exposure occurs, viral replication is inhibited, preventing the establishment of infection. Brief History of PrEP. The concept of PrEP originated from early animal studies demonstrating that antiretroviral medications could prevent retroviral transmission when administered before exposure. In 2010, the iPrEx trial showed that daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (known as Truvada) with emtricitabine significantly reduced HIV acquisition among men who have sex with men and transgender women. This was the first large clinical trial to demonstrate the effectiveness of PrEP. In 2012, the FDA approved oral Truvada, which is TDF/FTC (tenofovir disoproxil and emtricitabine) for HIV prevention. Since then, additional studies have expanded indications and introduced new formulations, including long-acting injectable options. Who Should Be Offered PrEP? PrEP should be considered for any HIV-negative individual at increased risk of HIV acquisition, including Men who have sex with men, transgender individuals, heterosexual men and women with an HIV-positive partner, individuals with recent bacterial sexually transmitted infections, people who inject drugs, individuals engaging in condomless sex with partners of unknown HIV status. Remember that PrEP should be offered in a nonjudgmental, patient-centered manner, make it a safe space to talk openly about prevention of HIV.  Available HIV PrEP Options. Daily Oral PrEP: There are 2 formulations of Tenofovir. There is Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)/ Truvada and Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)/ Descovy. Each is available in a tablet combined with Emtricitabine a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Truvada: It is approved for all populations at risk through sexual exposure or injection drug use. Something to look out for before starting this medication is for pre-existing CKD. Do not give to patients who have an estimated glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 mL/min. (6) Descovy: This option is approved for men who have sex with men and transgender women but is not approved for individuals at risk through receptive vaginal sex. It has less impact on renal function and bone mineral density compared to Truvada. It can be used in moderately reduced kidney function (GFR between 30-60 mL/min). Truvada and Descovy are taken orally once a day.  After patients start taking these medications, when are they considered to be protected?  Nicole: With daily oral PrEP, guidelines differ with WHO and International Aids Society-USA stating it takes about 7 days, while CDC states 21 days to allow for adequate concentration in tissues (1). Adherence is critical for efficacy. Injectable HIV PrEP. In 2021, the FDA approved the first Injectable PrEP option Long-acting cabotegravir (CAB-LA)- known on the market as Apretude. Cabotegravir is an integrase strand transfer inhibitor administered as an intramuscular injection.Dosing consists of an initial injection, a second injection one month later, and then maintenance injections every two months (1). Another option is Lenacapavir (Yeztugo). The Yeztugo as a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV in Oct 2024. Yeztugo is the first and only FDA-approved HIV prevention treatment that requires just two injections per year, offering a long-acting option for people who weigh at least 35kg. It is given as 2 injections every 6 months. First dose is given with 2 tablets on Day 1 and Day 2, then every 6 months 2 injections on the same day. Clinical trials, including HPTN 083 and HPTN 084, demonstrated that injectable cabotegravir is superior to daily oral PrEP in preventing HIV infection. This advantage is largely due to improved adherence rather than differences in intrinsic drug potency. There have been no head-to-head comparisons between Yeztugo and Apretude, but they are both very effective. Apretude starts protecting 7 days after the first dose, and Yeztugo starts protecting 2 hours after Day 2 (if patient takes the oral loading dose) or 3-4 weeks if no oral load is taken. Injectable PrEP is particularly beneficial for patients who struggle with daily pill adherence, have trouble swallowing pills, prefer a discreet option, have difficulty storing their medication or have renal or bone disease that limits the use of tenofovir-based regimens like Truvada and Descovy (6). In one unpublished report by Medline, patients who received Apretude had an increase in bone mineral density compared to those who received Truvada (1). Tests prior to starting PrEP. Before initiating PrEP, patients must be confirmed to be HIV-negative. Baseline evaluation includes HIV testing with a fourth-generation antigen/antibody assay, HIV RNA testing if acute infection is suspected, renal function testing for oral PrEP, Hepatitis B screening, sexually transmitted infection screening, and pregnancy testing when appropriate. PrEP should not be started in individuals with known or suspected acute HIV infection. Monitoring for patients on HIV PrEP. Monitoring typically includes HIV testing every 2 to 3 months, STI screening every 3 to 6 months, renal function monitoring for those on oral PrEP (tenofovir- based), ongoing adherence and risk-reduction counseling. And for injectable PrEP, adherence to the injection schedule is essential, as delayed dosing may increase the risk of resistance if HIV infection occurs. HIV PrEP is not a prevention for other STIs. Screening for STIs and counseling about prevention is essential. Breakthrough HIV infections on PrEP are rare and most often associated with poor adherence or delayed diagnosis. Truvada is more studied in all populations and is considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There is less data regarding the injectable option in patients who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or whose primary risk factor is injection drug use (1). Injectable PrEP provides an important alternative for patients with chronic kidney disease and bone disease (1). Key Takeaway Pre-exposure prophylaxis is a safe, effective, and evidence-based strategy for HIV prevention. With both daily oral and long-acting injectable options available, PrEP can be individualized to meet patient needs. Normalizing PrEP discussions in clinical practice is essential to reducing new HIV infections and advancing public health goals.  Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

In this week's Think Thursday, Molly builds on last week's conversation about overwhelm and takes it one level deeper—into uncertainty and the brain's fundamental need for coherence.Many people say, “I'm overwhelmed by everything.” But often, what they're describing isn't simply busyness. It's destabilization. The pace of technological change, the relentless news cycle, economic uncertainty, global conflict, and cultural instability create a steady stream of input that the human brain was not designed to process.Our brains evolved for village-level information flow—not constant global exposure in real time.The Brain as a Prediction MachineModern neuroscience describes the brain as a prediction engine. Researchers such as Karl Friston (predictive processing theory) suggest that the brain's primary job is not just to react to reality, but to anticipate it.Your brain is constantly generating internal forecasts about what is likely to happen next. It builds models of what is safe, familiar, and probable. When those models align with experience, the brain operates efficiently. Monitoring decreases. Stress drops. Calm increases.But when prediction fails—when the future feels unstable or unclear—the brain increases vigilance. Cortisol rises. The amygdala becomes more reactive. Monitoring intensifies.Uncertainty is not just emotionally uncomfortable. It is neurologically expensive.Research comparing predictable and unpredictable stressors shows that unpredictable stress can create stronger physiological responses than predictable stress—even when the predictable stressor is objectively worse. The brain often prefers a known negative outcome to an unknown one because predictability allows preparation, and preparation reduces perceived threat.Coherence vs. AmbiguityResearchers such as Travis Proulx and Steven Heine have explored how disruptions in meaning and narrative coherence increase anxiety and motivate the brain to restore order. Coherence stabilizes the nervous system. Ambiguity destabilizes it.When someone says, “I'm overwhelmed by everything,” that word everything represents a collapse of hierarchy and narrative. The brain cannot model everything at once. It cannot prioritize everything simultaneously. So it defaults to alarm.Language plays a powerful role here. Molly revisits her recent quote:“Every time you replace ‘I'm overwhelmed' with ‘I need to decide what matters most and go slow,' your brain stops firing alarm signals and starts organizing information again.”While this shift does not immediately shut down the amygdala, research on cognitive reappraisal by psychologist James Gross shows that reframing increases prefrontal cortex activity and decreases amygdala activation over time. Changing language changes the predictive model the brain uses.Molly also revisits a core Alcohol Minimalist concept: thoughts are both descriptive and prescriptive. Repeating “I'm overwhelmed” reinforces a future expectation. The brain uses repeated thoughts as data. Language influences prediction.Why This Feels Amplified NowThe modern nervous system is metabolizing more information than at any point in human history. Our brains evolved to monitor a small social circle, not global crises, economic forecasts, political unrest, and technological revolutions delivered instantly.When input exceeds the brain's capacity to construct stable models:Uncertainty risesScanning increasesStress increasesCognitive flexibility decreasesThis is not fragility. It is neurobiology.And it has direct implications for behavior change.The brain invests effort when it believes the future is navigable. When the future feels chaotic, it shifts toward short-term safety behaviors—scrolling, avoidance, comfort-seeking, and returning to familiar habits—not because discipline has disappeared, but because predictability feels safer than uncertainty. Coherence builds confidence. Confidence supports effort. Effort sustains behavior change.When coherence drops, consistency often drops with it.Five Ways to Restore CoherenceWhile you cannot eliminate global uncertainty, you can restore local coherence. The brain does not require certainty everywhere. It requires stability somewhere.Here are five actionable steps:Narrow the time horizon.Focus on today or tomorrow rather than the entire month or year. Short predictive loops are easier for the brain to manage.Identify what is controllable.Research shows perceived control reduces amygdala activation. Even one controllable action restores agency.Establish one predictable ritual.A consistent morning routine, defined work block, or nightly wind-down creates stability the brain can model.Limit interpretive overload.Too many possible explanations increase cognitive load. Choose the most useful interpretation instead of entertaining every hypothetical scenario.Build one daily evidence loop.Follow through on one manageable commitment each day. Predictable behavior strengthens the brain's trust in its own forecasting.Each of these steps restores hierarchy. Each reduces prediction error. Each sends a stabilizing signal to the nervous system.You are telling your brain: “The world may be uncertain, but my behavior has structure.”The Bottom LineYour brain does not require absolute certainty in order to function well. It requires enough pattern to feel oriented. Enough structure to reduce constant monitoring. Enough stability to believe its predictions will not be continuously disrupted.You cannot calm the entire world. But you can restore order in your immediate sphere.When coherence returns, clarity follows. ★ Support this podcast ★

Part two of our two-part series as part of our new Defensible Decisions podcast, Scott Kelly (shareholder, Birmingham) and Lauren Hicks (shareholder, Indianapolis/Atlanta) continue their conversation on the nuts and bolts of AI bias audits, focusing on defensible documentation, practical hypotheticals, and remediation strategies. The speakers unpack risks in résumé screeners, promotion and retention-risk models, and “human in the loop” assumptions, offering concrete guidance on governance, validation, vendor diligence, and continuous monitoring to align AI use with legal defensibility and business necessity.

Injury has a way of humbling you. One minute you're strong and capable, and the next you're struggling to do the simplest things—walking, sleeping, even brushing your teeth. I know this firsthand. After six back surgeries and more than a few serious setbacks, I've learned that healing isn't something you wait for—it's something you actively create. In today's Office Hours, I share what I've learned not just as a doctor, but as a patient who worked his way back to strength offering a practical roadmap for putting your body into healing mode after an accident, injury, or surgery. In today's conversation, I cover: • The 3 phases of healing—and what slows them down • The essential recovery nutrition strategy (more protein, key micronutrients, anti-inflammatory fats) • How to reduce excess inflammation while supporting repair • Why sleep, stress regulation, and mitochondrial health are critical for recovery • The mindset shift that can dramatically improve pain, resilience, and healing outcomes Healing isn't luck—it's biology. When you create the right conditions, your body knows exactly what to do. With the right inputs, you can reduce pain, shorten recovery time, and come back stronger than before.
