Podcasts about Needle

You don't need a perfect routine to stay healthy, you need a few habits that move the needle, especially when life gets busy. In this episode, we break down six simple, high-impact habits for maintaining health during hectic or travel-heavy seasons, using a yard maintenance analogy to explain why consistency matters more than intensity. You'll learn: The six needle movers for health: hydration, protein intake, outdoor movement, sleep, and workouts Why consistency beats perfection when building lasting habits How small daily decisions compound into long-term health outcomes Practical strategies for staying on track while traveling or during busy stretches How to think about your health like yard maintenance, small upkeep now prevents bigger problems later If your schedule is packed but your health goals aren't going anywhere, this episode gives you the simple, sustainable habits to keep showing up.

We are joined by one of my wonderful coaching clients, Lisa Lantz, the brilliant owner of The Getup—a community-focused resale store that sells everything from newborn and adult clothing to accessories, kids' gear, and toys. Lisa is just a few short weeks away from graduating from the Inventory Genius program, and she has made absolute leaps and bounds over the past year. We have never had a guest on the show with this specific type of inventory-based business model, and the breakthroughs she has made with her numbers are going to blow you away. Whether you run a traditional retail boutique, a resale shop, or even a dropshipping business, Lisa's journey holds some massive gold nuggets for you. Key Takeaways from This Episode: Consignment vs. Buy-Outright: Understand the financial risk of buying inventory outright from your customers versus running a traditional consignment model, and why your margins must reflect that risk. The Fear of Policy Changes: Why we need to "stay out of our customers' pocketbooks" and make business-first decisions without letting fear dictate our financial policies. Cracking the Cash-to-Credit Ratio: How tracking the exact ratio of cash payouts to in-store credit (which, for Lisa, sits consistently at 70% cash and 30% credit) allows for highly accurate cash-flow planning. Data-Driven Curating: Moving away from buying inventory just because "it's in good shape" to hand-curating based on high-margin, fast-turning categories (like discovering women's wear drove over 50% of Lisa's sales!). The Power of One-Dollar Levers: How focusing on just one simple lever—like raising your average ticket size by a small margin through employee training—can bridge massive sales gaps. Inside the Conversation 1. The Cash vs. Credit Conundrum Because The Getup is a buy-outright resale store, Lisa's customers can choose between cash or in-store credit (which now offers 10% more value) on the spot. When we first started working together, this model created a lot of cloudiness around her COGS (Cost of Goods Sold). We realized Lisa was paying up to 40% back in cash just to support her community and keep inventory coming in. But when you buy outright, you take on 100% of the risk if that item doesn't sell. We adjusted her payouts down, and despite her fear that she'd drive people away, not a single customer complained. "We hold off on making really important financial decisions out of fear of what people will think or say, and a lot of times, that story is only created in our head." 2. Finding the Ratios and Taking Control of Cash Flow Once we started digging into the data, we discovered a highly consistent pattern: 30% of her buyouts were store credit, and 70% were cash. Knowing this ratio changed everything. Instead of guessing, Lisa can now accurately map out her open-to-buy plan and know exactly how much hard cash she needs on hand each month. No more putting out daily financial fires! 3. Curating with Intention (and Saying "No" Gently) In resale, your inventory is a daily surprise. Lisa used to accept items simply because they were nice. Now, she uses her category data to make smart buying decisions. When she realized women's apparel made up over 50% of her sales, she knew exactly where to focus her efforts. We also talk about the delicate art of saying "no" to individual black-bag drop-offs without making it personal. 4. Moving the Needle on Average Ticket Size Our latest project is bridging a big sales growth gap not by wishing for random traffic, but by focusing on average ticket size. Lisa shares her strategy for bringing her part-time team into the numbers conversation, recording training videos, and why she is temporarily stepping back onto the sales floor to spot the operational puzzle pieces herself.

In a post-AGI world, can a country without access to frontier AI even be considered sovereign anymore?Anton Leicht says once frontier AI becomes a core economic input, the countries that own it will pull further and further ahead. Everyone else stays a customer… or worse. Maybe the dominant power wants your land, or a military base, or a resource. Without economic leverage, there's very little you could do about it.Anton — Carnegie fellow and writer of the blog Threading the Needle — thinks middle powers should band together and build their own frontier models.He's costed it out: something like $500 billion over four years for a band of allied democracies. That's not absurd money for the G7 minus the US. The problem is you'd be asking treasuries to take on sovereign debt for a speculative venture with no business case, wide open to US coercion and domestic backlash.So despite its promise, Anton's verdict is that it probably won't happen. His backup is for countries to ask themselves: if intelligence becomes abundant, what stays scarce?Upstream, that's everything that feeds the supply chain: ASML's lithography machines, chipmaking, exclusive training data — all of it gets more valuable as AI does.Downstream, “a country of geniuses in a data centre” still can't cure cancer without someone building the production plants and running the trials. The Europeans, Japanese, and South Koreans are good at exactly these real-world bottlenecks.It's an imperfect fix. The US would still hold more leverage, plus an incentive to re-industrialise and cut you out. The prize is avoiding the worst outcomes: a gradual but irreversible decline, waiting to be either annexed or discarded as the US and China race ahead.In this episode, Anton and host Tom Reed look at what middle powers should start doing now to keep a seat at the table.Learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/AL This episode was recorded on June 19, 2026.Chapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Who's Anton Leicht?

Can acupuncture really support IVF success? When should you start fertility acupuncture if you're trying to conceive? And how do you know whether an acupuncturist is truly trained in fertility care, or just really confident with a sign on the door? In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine welcomes Hannah Pearn, a fertility acupuncturist based in London and host of the podcast. Together, they explore how acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, and Western fertility treatment can work side by side to support patients through IVF, embryo transfer, egg quality concerns, endometriosis, PCOS, recurrent pregnancy loss, male factor infertility, and the emotional stress of trying to conceive. Listeners will learn what to expect at a first fertility acupuncture appointment, how acupuncture treatment may change during different stages of IVF, what questions to ask when choosing a practitioner, and why the evidence around acupuncture and fertility is promising but still complicated.  Dr. Shahine and Hannah also answer listener questions about needle fear, PGT-A testing, microbiome testing, follicle count, and the balance between doing everything you can and remembering that infertility is never your fault. In this episode you'll hear: [1:09] Fertility acupuncture basics [7:28] Hannah's acupuncture path [11:18] Finding specialists and Questions to Ask [29:46] Acupuncture meets IVF [34:34] Needle fear [36:58] PGT-A testing [42:43] When to start [47:31] Can you boost your egg count?

Parce que… c'est l'épisode 0x318! Shameless plug 19 septembre 2026 - Bsides Montréal 20 au 26 septembre 2026 - BruCON 13 novembre 2026 - DEATHCon 16 au 19 novembre - European Cyber Week 1 au 3 décembre 2026 - Forum INCYBER - Canada 2026 24 et 25 février 2027 - SéQCure 2027 Description Contexte Dans cet épisode spécial, l'animateur reçoit François Labrèche, scientifique de données, pour discuter de la façon dont son entreprise traite l'immense volume de signaux de sécurité générés par son SOC à grande échelle (managed XDR). Contrairement à un SOC traditionnel, François travaille en back-end et a accès aux données de tous les clients, ce qui lui permet de construire des modèles et des filtres globaux applicables à l'ensemble des alertes. L'objectif de l'épisode est double : expliquer le pipeline de filtrage des données, puis illustrer son fonctionnement à l'aide d'un cas réel. Le pipeline de filtrage Étape 1 — Les détecteurs Le point de départ, ce sont des billions d'événements bruts. La première étape repose sur des règles de détection simples et peu coûteuses en calcul : correspondances avec des IOC (indicateurs de compromission), domaines ou IP malveillants, ainsi que des règles de corrélation basiques détectant des anomalies (par exemple, un utilisateur qui se connecte pour la première fois à une machine de développement). Ces règles ne prouvent rien de malveillant en soi, mais elles servent à isoler tout ce qui sort de l'ordinaire pour l'envoyer plus loin dans le pipeline. Après cette étape, il ne reste que 0,03 % des données initiales — un filtre énorme, mais qui représente encore 2,6 milliards d'événements sur deux semaines, un volume toujours impossible à traiter manuellement. Étape 2 — Déduplication et corrélation La deuxième étape combine deux mécanismes. La déduplication regroupe les alertes générées en grand nombre par une même attaque (comme un déni de service ou un scan) visant la même cible, réduisant ainsi des dizaines de milliers d'alertes en une seule. La corrélation, elle, relie des alertes distinctes provenant de détecteurs différents mais concernant la même activité (par exemple, plusieurs signaux liés à un même utilisateur et une même machine). Pour rendre ce travail possible, une équipe dédiée normalise en amont tous les signaux — qu'ils proviennent des senseurs propriétaires ou de fournisseurs tiers — dans un format standardisé, en capturant les éléments clés (nom de l'alerte, entités impliquées, IP, nom d'hôte, etc.). La corrélation s'appuie sur une fenêtre d'analyse fixe (environ un mois) et sur des bases de données de comptage historique, sans recours au machine learning à ce stade. Étape 3 — La suppression Cette étape cible des cas précis, propres à un client ou une situation donnée. Certaines alertes sont bénignes uniquement dans un contexte particulier : par exemple, un client qui effectue des scans de vulnérabilité hebdomadaires de façon planifiée, ou du trafic DNS provenant de Cloudflare, connu comme légitime. Ces règles de suppression sont paramétrées en collaboration avec le client ou l'ingénieur qui le supporte, et nécessitent une connaissance fine de son environnement. Des règles similaires sont aussi créées lorsque les équipes de recherche de menaces identifient des indicateurs malveillants publiés par erreur, afin de bloquer ces faux indicateurs pour l'ensemble des clients. Étape 4 — La priorisation C'est ici qu'intervient le machine learning. Les alertes sont divisées en deux groupes selon leur sévérité : haute et moyenne/basse. Un modèle supervisé, entraîné chaque semaine sur des données historiques (les décisions passées des analystes), est appliqué aux alertes de sévérité élevée pour prédire une probabilité de menace réelle. Ce modèle sert à deux fins : fermer automatiquement les alertes jugées très peu probables (réduisant le bruit pour les analystes), ou ajuster la sévérité des alertes jugées menaçantes. Les alertes de sévérité plus basse ne sont pas ignorées : elles sont réutilisées pour enrichir le contexte autour d'une menace identifiée par le modèle, en allant chercher toutes les alertes liées au même utilisateur et à la même machine durant la même période. Un point important soulevé dans la discussion concerne la dégradation des modèles : si un modèle supervisé était réentraîné sur ses propres prédictions (sans validation humaine), il se dégraderait progressivement, un peu comme les modèles de langage qui s'effondrent lorsqu'ils apprennent sur leurs propres données. Pour éviter ce piège, l'équipe conserve un échantillon de 5 à 10 % des données sur lequel le modèle n'agit jamais automatiquement — ces alertes sont envoyées aux analystes pour un triage normal, ce qui permet de mesurer en continu la performance réelle du modèle (faux négatifs, dérive) et de générer des données d'entraînement non biaisées pour les futurs modèles. Étude de cas : détection d'un info stealer Pour illustrer concrètement le pipeline, François présente un cas réel portant sur deux semaines de données : à partir de 9,7 billions d'événements, le filtrage complet aboutit à seulement 81 000 alertes, soit environ 50 par client. Pour le client étudié, seulement sept alertes émergent — deux de haute sévérité liées à un vol de mot de passe, et cinq autres jugées bénignes (vol d'identifiants légitime confirmé par le client). Grâce au modèle de priorisation, les deux alertes à forte probabilité de menace sont sélectionnées, puis l'analyste ramène toutes les alertes liées au même utilisateur et à la même machine, incluant trois alertes de sévérité plus basse. L'ensemble reconstitue une chronologie claire : un exécutable déguisé en éditeur PDF s'exécute, établit une connexion réseau anormale vers un serveur de commande, puis déclenche des détections successives de vol de mots de passe et de données de navigateur — signature typique d'un info stealer. Isolément, chaque alerte de type « info stealer » génère énormément de faux positifs ; c'est la combinaison de plusieurs signaux corrélés dans le temps, pour la même entité, qui permet à l'analyste de conclure avec confiance à une véritable compromission et de recommander la réimagerie de la machine du client. L'épisode se conclut sur l'idée que ce type de pipeline permet non seulement de filtrer efficacement le bruit à très grande échelle, mais aussi de reconstruire, a posteriori, une histoire cohérente de l'attaque à partir des données brutes.

“If you are willing to use it and use it quickly, that's what I want you to have.”— Dr. Jay LiebermanEpinephrine is everywhere in allergy practice. Prescribed, refilled, demonstrated, repeated. And still, it carries a strange kind of fear. Patients hesitate. Clinicians sometimes hesitate too. Is it dangerous? Is it a last resort? How bad does the reaction have to be before it counts?On this episode, Dr. Mariam Hanna is joined by Dr. Jay Lieberman, professor of pediatrics at the University of Tennessee and interim division chief of allergy and immunology at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital. He talks through what epinephrine does in the body, where the evidence is still messier than many assume, and how new needle-free options may change whether patients actually use it when it matters.Key PointsEpinephrine remains first-line because it targets the major physiologic problems in anaphylaxis.Fear of epinephrine still gets in the way of early use.Anaphylaxis definitions are useful, but hard to translate for patients.Nasal and sublingual routes may reduce the barrier of the needle.The best device is still the one the patient will actually use.Needle-free epinephrine won't answer every question in anaphylaxis care. But it may change the most practical one: not whether patients know they should treat, but whether they actually will.Have an idea for the show or a comment, send us a text!Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

Art and activism intersect! Shannon Downey, full-time art activist, author, and educator, sits down to talk with us about art and activism and her new activism handbook for artists, crafters, and creators, Let's Move the Needle, providing a how-to manual for using artistic skills to contribute to community building. Shannon learned how to cross stitch as a child. As an adult, doing work around gun violence and immigrant rights, Shannon leaned on cross stitch during moments when she felt politically fatigued. When she participated in a weekend art show that fundraised $5,000 dollars for art classes for survivors of gun violence, the intersection and importance between art and activism became very clear. For more information, check out Boom!

Two founders. Opposite problems. The exact same fix. One spent five hours on a single Reel that disappeared by Thursday. The other pulled right back to 'sign of life' posts while she worked out a pivot. In this episode of The Brand Marketing Show, Catherine Langman unpacks why posting and hoping works when your brand is new and then plateaus, why effort stops being the lever (using the gym analogy of newbie gains), and the fix almost everyone mishears – building content that compounds instead of evaporating, with social rebuilt as searchable discovery. Plus the posture that keeps brands growing: a beginner's mind, and the willingness to struggle.

Why do so many teams work harder than ever but still struggle to make meaningful progress?In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli speaks with organizational psychologist and bestselling author Liane Davey, author of Thoughtload: Manage the Madness and Free Your Team to Do Great Work, about why leaders need to rethink how they approach priorities, productivity, and performance.Liane explains why the biggest challenge facing many organizations is not simply the amount of work people have to do. It is the invisible thought load created by competing demands, constant interruptions, emotional strain, and unclear priorities. Drawing on her work with leadership teams, she shares why many organizations are operating at full throttle but losing altitude because they keep adding effort instead of reducing drag.In the conversation, Liane discusses why leaders often confuse activity and output with meaningful progress. She explores how organizations unintentionally reward busyness, why constant responsiveness can pull people away from their highest-value work, and how leaders can help teams focus on outcomes rather than simply doing more.Liane also explores the impact of AI on leadership and the future of work. While AI can reduce some workload, she explains why it can also increase thought load by creating more information, more decisions, and more complexity. Her insights challenge leaders to think differently about human capacity, emotional energy, and creating the conditions where people can do their best work.Actionable TakeawaysYou'll learn why teams can be working harder than ever and still fail to achieve the outcomes that matter most.Hear why Liane Davey believes leaders need to move beyond measuring activity and productivity to focus on true effectiveness.Discover how rewarding constant responsiveness can unintentionally reinforce distraction and prevent people from doing their most important work.You'll learn the difference between workload and thought load and why the hidden mental burden on teams impacts performance, creativity, and collaboration.Hear why productivity can become a trap when organizations create more outputs without questioning whether those outputs create value.Discover why emotions are not separate from performance and how leaders can help teams process emotions before they create unnecessary friction.You'll learn why a lack of conflict can be a warning sign and how healthy tension helps teams make better decisions.Hear how leaders can uncover the unseen work that drains people's capacity and address the sources of overload.Discover how AI can reduce workload while increasing thought load, requiring leaders to rethink how people and technology work together.Learn why managing focus, energy, and human capacity will become even more important as organizations face greater complexity and faster change.Connect with Liane DaveyLiane Davey WebsiteThoughtload WebsiteLiane Davey LinkedInConnect with Mahan Tavakoli:Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

Elevated ApoB. A positive CAC score. Now what?Most people quickly find themselves trapped between two extremes: simplistic advice to “cut saturated fat” and online influencers insisting cholesterol doesn't matter at all.In this episode of A Whole New Level, Mike Haney sits down with clinical research scientist Dr. Kevin Maki to cut through the confusion.Drawing on more than 35 years of cardiovascular research, Maki explains why heart disease risk is about much more than LDL cholesterol alone. He breaks down the roles of inflammation, blood sugar, family history, kidney function, and lipoproteins, while also making a clear case for something many people resist: LDL and ApoB still matter. A lot.The evidence increasingly suggests that when it comes to atherosclerosis, lower for longer is better. That has important implications for diet, statins, and how early we should intervene.Mike and Dr. Maki also tackle saturated fat, seed oils, red meat, industry-funded research, and how to separate evidence from online nutrition debates.

In the second episode of a special four-part Science of Reading: The Podcast adolescent literacy miniseries, Susan Lambert, Ed.D., speaks with Julie Burtscher Brown, Ed.D. a PreK–12 literacy facilitator. Julie talks about how she and her colleagues built a whole-school literacy initiative from the ground up, and what three years of data about it then revealed. Together, she and Susan also discuss why a few targeted, evidence-based practices (not sweeping overhauls) were what actually moved the needle for Julie's students; how content-area teachers can begin supporting literacy without reinventing their lessons; and what real, measurable change can look like at the secondary level when a whole school commits to the same practices. Show notes:Our Summer Learning Academy is back!

In this episode of the TCOYD Podcast, Dr. Edelman and Dr. Pettus are joined by pediatric endocrinologist Dr. Jamie Wood, medical director of pediatric diabetes at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital and an investigator on the INHALE-1 trial, to talk through inhaled insulin in kids and where it fits in real-world pediatric care.The conversation focuses on the recent approval of Afrezza for children as young as six, and what the INHALE-1 trial actually showed. Dr. Wood walks through the study design, A1C results, lung-function and safety data, and the practical aspects of dosing inhaled insulin in a pediatric population. Rather than positioning it as a replacement for injections or pumps, the discussion centers on finding the right fit for each child's needs, from the newly diagnosed kid with a needle phobia to the teen trying to dose discreetly during a 20-minute school lunch.Dr. E, Dr. P, and Dr. Wood also discuss the everyday realities that shape how this option is used, including the set-dose cartridge sizes, a titration approach refined in clinic, and how families are mixing and matching tools alongside automated insulin delivery. The takeaway is encouraging: there are more options than ever for managing mealtime insulin in kids, and this one may help fill some of the gaps left by injections and pumps.Key Topics • The recent approval of inhaled insulin for children as young as six • How the INHALE-1 pediatric trial was designed • A1C results and what the primary endpoint analysis showed • Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) metrics across the two groups • Lung-function (FEV1) monitoring and pediatric safety • Weight and body mass index (BMI) findings • Why mealtime dosing is a leading unmet need in pediatric type 1 diabetes (T1D) • The set-dose cartridge approach and how it reframes meal sizes • A real-world titration method for inhaled insulin • Managing cough and other practical considerations • Needle phobia and the kids who struggle most with injections • Using inhaled insulin alongside automated insulin delivery (AID) systems • What's coming next, including a smaller cartridge dose and a new-onset trial Subscribe for practical diabetes management tips, technology updates, and treatment breakthroughs that help people with diabetes live healthier, more flexible lives.More diabetes resources:Website: tcoyd.orgBlog: tcoyd.org/blogPodcast: tcoydthepodcast.transistor.fmInstagram: / tcoydFacebook: / tcoydStay connected!

Ben Hartman is back for his third visit to the PricePlow Podcast in Episode #221, and Morphogen Nutrition has never been in a stronger position. Ben walks through everything: the second rebrand’s full backstory, a never-before-told story about a failed acquisition that nearly sold the company, the financial reckoning that followed, and how selling the building and moving to a 3PL model finally cleared the slate. He calls this the best formula work Morphogen has ever done, at the healthiest margins in company history. The conversation covers AlphaGEN’s return to 10g L-Tyrosine, why PRIME is the anchor of the entire health line, details like how he navigates AstraGin® and BioPerine® across a multi-product stack, and the surprising origin of CALM. Then comes the main event: the Nick Walker equity partnership, explained in full, including some of the financial structure the internet has been speculating about. The episode closes with a frank look at the longevity wave ahead, the natural-vs.-enhanced debate, and a nostalgic look back at the golden age of stimulants.

Fishhook injuries are common, surprisingly nuanced, and honestly a little intimidating until you've removed a few. In this first episode of our Minor Procedures series, we'll reel in the essentials of pediatric fishhook removal, helping you take the bait on four classic removal techniques, procedural planning, anesthesia strategies, and post-removal management. We'll discuss when to pull back, when to advance, when not to get hooked on a single technique, and how to avoid turning a simple procedure into the one that got away. Along the way we'll cover sedation, antibiotics, wound care, and practical pearls to help you land these cases with confidence. Learning Objectives Compare and select among the four major fishhook removal techniques based on hook characteristics, depth of penetration, and anatomic location. Apply evidence-based approaches to analgesia, anxiolysis, procedural sedation, and post-removal management for pediatric fishhook injuries. Identify situations requiring escalation of care, including ocular involvement, contaminated water exposure, tendon or joint involvement, and circumstances where routine management may not be sufficient.

Final editorial decisions and content responsibility remain with the author. Welcome to PEM Currents: The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Podcast. As always, I'm your host, Brad Sobolewski, and today we're gonna start a new series on minor procedures. These are the types of procedures that we perform all the time in the emergency department. They're not the subject of multicenter trials or big keynote lectures, but these are the things that patients and families remember, and trust me, they will remember them whether you do them well or not. First up, fishhook removal. So I'm hoping to reel in some listeners with this one, and so hopefully you'll take the bait, and by the end of this episode you'll understand exactly what angle I'm coming from. And hopefully I'm just not trying to make a bass of myself. So anyway, fishhook removal sounds really simple until you actually start doing it. There's not just one technique. There are four classic approaches, and I'll talk about them all, and which one you choose depends on the hook, whether there's a barb, how deep it is, where it's located, your personal experience with different techniques. Fishhook injuries in children are usually minor and most commonly involve the hands and head, though I've seen them stuck in other body parts as well. Most can be managed in the emergency department or urgent care setting with local anesthesia and basic equipment Of course, if there's concern for tendon involvement, joint penetration, neurovascular compromise, if it's anywhere near the eyeball, you should stop and rethink your plan. You know, so ortho, if it's embedded deeply in a joint, um, anything that involves the eye itself isn't necessarily an emergency department procedure, and I'm not talking about the eyebrow, I'm talking about the globe. Fortunately, that's very rare, but that's definitely an ophthalmology conversation. And so before you even think about removing, you need to understand the hook. Is this a single hook or is this a treble hook? A treble hook is a type of fishing hook that has three individual hooks and barbs arranged in a triangular formation, and they're all fused to a single shank and eye. The eye is where the line gets tied to the hook. Is it freshwater or saltwater? How long has it been there? Is it an old rusty one that was sitting in your garage? Was it underwater for a few hours and then it got hooked in the skin? And honestly, how cooperative is the kid gonna be? Because unlike actual fishing, this is one of the procedures where patience beats blunt force. So the simplest technique is retrograde removal. This is exactly what families think you're gonna do before you walk in the room. You know, just pull it out the way it went in. But that's not how hooks are designed. They have the barb. They're designed to stay in the fish. So most of the hooks that I've removed are barbed hooks, and so you can't just back them out. If you try to pull a hook out the way it came in, it's gonna catch and tug on the tissue, it's gonna lead to more pain, bleeding and tissue distortion and not really gonna get you anywhere. So just pulling it out doesn't work, and family probably would have already tried that at home. The technique I end up using most often is advance and cut. And it kind of sounds wrong the first time you explain it to a family because your solution to removing the hook is to continue to advance the hook, but mechanically, this makes the most sense. So you advance the point of the hook through the skin until the barb exits completely, then use either really good trauma shears or heavy wire cutters to cut the hook in between the shank and the barb. If it's in a location where you have, uh, enough room, I like to hold a hemostat real close to the skin, grabbing the hook. Then I cut near the barb, get the pointy part out of the way, remove the hemostats, and then back it through the skin. This is considered the most reliable technique, and in most reviews it's described as being nearly universally successful, even for larger hooks. In children, I think this needs to be the go-to technique because success matters. You just gotta get it done on the, the first attempt. Kids don't tolerate multiple failed attempts very well. Um, obvious downside is that you create a second puncture wound, but in practice, that puncture is usually controlled and much less traumatic than repeated unsuccessful pulling. Depending on where the skin's at, you may actually need to put a little bit of tension or pressure against the skin to get that hook to poke through. Ultimately, this advance and cut method is the one that you should spend the most time learning and teaching to your trainees. The string yank technique is the one that often is seen at summer camps and on YouTube videos. You loop string or heavy suture or even fishing line around the bend of the hook, apply downward pressure to the shank to disengage the barb, and then pull quickly in line with the shaft of the hook. When it works, it yanks it out almost instantly. That's why the YouTube videos are popular. One second there's a fishhook in the finger, and the next there isn't. The advantage is that this can sometimes just be performed without anesthesia and can even be done at home. The disadvantage is obvious if you work with children. This requires cooperation. Younger kids, anxious kids, a treble hook, something that's deeply embedded, like this isn't gonna work all that well, and it's, again, less reliable with bigger and deeply embedded hooks. The last technique is needle cover. This one gets less attention. It seems elegant, but in practice it's actually pretty hard to do, especially in smaller kid parts. You insert an 18-gauge needle alongside the entry tract until the bevel of that needle covers the barb, and then pull both out together The advantage is that you avoid creating a second puncture wound, and you can minimize tissue trauma. The disadvantage is it's really complex technically. Maintaining alignment of both the hook and needle can be tricky because they sort of like roll and move around. And if you want to do this one, it's probably easier for smaller and medium-sized hook rather than larger embedded or treble hooks. And as you might imagine in the literature, there's not really any randomized trials comparing these techniques. Most of what we know comes from prospective observational studies, case series, procedural experience, and expert review. Advance and cut seems to have the broadest success across scenarios. String yank does earn some points for field use and avoiding local numbing. Needle cover is hard to do, but if the parent is absolutely adamant that you don't create a second hole, then that's probably your best option. And as with any procedure, you should probably be facile in multiple techniques in case the first one doesn't work. You don't just want to stand there and flounder. Anyway, most fishhook removals in children can be done with local anesthesia alone. One percent Lido with or without epi is usually enough. Depending on the location, you may need to do a digital block or a field block instead of just injecting directly around the hook because local infiltration itself can distort the anatomy and actually make removal harder. So that's why I like blocking the digit or doing a little bit of a field block around it. If you have time, a topical anesthetic before local infiltration can be a nice gesture. LMX or EMLA can be really helpful, especially for really anxious kids or kids who are escalating before you even start setting up. They take about forty to sixty minutes. About forty-five minutes is probably ideal. So if you can get that put on in triage, that's actually a, a great technique. So if you know you're going to inject to numb to get the fishhook out, and you need a little bit of extra time to get child life or other personnel in the room, by all means, put a topical anesthetic there. It only absorbs into the outer two millimeters, but it'll help with the poke, not necessarily the burning that happens once the lidocaine is in the tissue. And now that we've talked about pain, I think it's also important to talk about anxiolysis. Most kids that have embedded fishhooks don't need full procedural sedation. If it's right next to the eye, like in the eyelid, then that might be beneficial, especially in a preschool-aged kid or younger. Plenty of them do need some anxiolysis. Um, intranasal or oral midazolam is probably, uh, the most popular option. It's got rapid onset in about twenty minutes, no IV, some amnesia. Recent pediatric data suggests that point four or point five milligrams per kilogram may perform better than lower doses, uh, for the intranasal. If you've got nitrous oxide, that's another nice option for cooperative kids. It provides anxiolysis and analgesia with rapid recovery and a very low rate of adverse respiratory events. Fishhook removal is actually one of those procedures where nitrous can feel disproportionately helpful because the procedure itself is often quick, and the hardest part is just reducing the fear and helping the kid hold still for about thirty to sixty seconds. I think ketamine still has a role. I alluded to when I might use that earlier. Occasionally, you walk into the room and then there's a deeply embedded treble hook, a really anxious child, a failed attempt prior to you being there. And ultimately, yes, IV procedural sedation with ketamine should be on the table, and it's as always an excellent option. And never, ever underestimate distraction. Hopefully, you work in a place where there are child life specialists because they are wonderful. They are magic. But you've got videos, you know, music, VR, parents. I mean, sometimes the difference between success and failure is a working iPad. And then finally, the question of antibiotics. So fishhook removal does not automatically equal a course of antibiotics. A prospective series of one hundred fishhook injuries found prophylactic antibiotics were unnecessary for uncomplicated soft tissue injuries that didn't involve the cartilage or tendon. So if you've got a contaminated wound, a delayed presentation, you know, it was already in an established infection, though I've never actually seen someone impale a fishhook into an area of cellulitis. There's tendon involvement, joint involvement, or, you know, gross water exposure. Well, then maybe consider antibiotics. Freshwater injuries do raise concern for organisms like Aeromonas. Saltwater injuries introduce concern for Vibrio species and occasionally Mycobacterium marinum enters the conversation or the tissue. Um, saltwater injuries are often treated with doxycycline plus a third-generation cephalosporin. You recognize the doxy decisions in younger children require some additional consideration. Freshwater injuries could push you towards broader Gram-negative coverage, but, but honestly, for most fishhook injuries, especially in healthy children, you're just dealing with skin flora. So once I get the hook out, I make sure there's no other retained foreign bodies, like little pieces of the hook or little pieces of the barb. I irrigate with saline or tap water, maybe a hundred mLs for a smaller hook, more for bigger hooks or grossly contaminated wounds. Make sure that there's full neurovascular function and normal range of motion. Antibiotic ointment, simple dressing, update their tetanus shot if it's not been within five years, and explain to the family that the good news is that this is really a forgiving injury most of the time. Once the hook is out, these generally heal really well. We don't need to suture them back up. We're not worried about long-term damage. Tell the parents to watch out for increasing redness, worsening pain, pus drainage, fever, or other systemic symptoms, trouble moving the area, especially if it was around a digit, you know, numbness or anything else that makes you concerned that infection has started instead of healing. Families will almost always ask jokingly when they can fish again. Honestly, usually pretty quickly. Just don't put the wound under water until it's healed, and don't stand directly behind whoever is casting. And now for some take-home points. Fishhook removal is a simple and straightforward procedure where technique really matters. You have to know what type of hook is embedded in the skin. Retrograde does work for superficial or barbless hooks, but most fishhooks that I've seen have barbs because they are designed to stay in the fish. Advance and cut is probably the most broadly successful technique. String yank works if you're a YouTuber. Needle cover is really, I think, only for those scenarios where the family does not want a second hole. It's really actually hard to do. Local anesthesia is enough for most kids, so injecting with lidocaine. If you have time, LMX or EMLA helps with the poke a little bit. Routine antibiotics are not usually necessary. And if there's ocular involvement or if it's in a joint, call an ophthalmologist or an orthopedist. Honestly, this is one of those procedures that's really satisfying once you get comfortable with it. I love doing it with our residents and trainees. Families come in expecting something dramatic, and by the time they leave, they're surprised by how straightforward it was. And I guarantee that this is a story that they will tell for years and years. And if you do a good job and make it a good experience and perhaps even a lighthearted one, they are going to remember that. And yeah, you'll be part of somebody's fishing story. So I hope you did enjoy this first episode on minor procedures. I'm gonna do additional ones like these along the way because, you know, I think that they don't get a lot of love when it comes to traditional education. If you've got any ideas for future procedures or topics, please send them my way. As the kids would say, like, rate, and review. If you leave a review on your favorite podcast site, that would really help other people discover the show. I podcast because I think it's a great way to teach, and I've been doing so since 2013. And yes, you can remove a fishhook. Don't let this straightforward procedure become the one that got away. For PEM Currents: The Pediatric Emergency Medicine Podcast, this has been Brad Sobolewski.

Send us Fan MailYou can grind from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., stack your calendar with meetings, and still end the day with zero dollars to show for it. That's why I'm drawing a sharp line between being busy and actually building, because this difference quietly destroys businesses that look “productive” on the surface. Busyness is motion. Building is momentum.I talk through the mindset trap that makes busyness feel safe and rewarding, even when it doesn't move the needle. Then I give you a practical filter you can use immediately: ask better questions about every commitment. Is this activity creating leverage, freeing time, or producing an asset that compounds? Or is it just keeping you occupied? This is also where your zone of genius matters. When you spend your best hours on low-value tasks and unnecessary meetings, you give away the very work only you can do.To make it stick, I share a visual I love from my trip to the Amazon rainforest in Peru. When you're under the trees, you can't see far, so you keep pushing forward and hope you're headed somewhere good. The real advantage is lifting your head up, looking around, and evaluating direction so you can make a small adjustment before you waste weeks. Your takeaway is simple: identify one building task you'll implement this week, then track the change it creates.If this hits home, subscribe for more short, practical business advice, share this with a friend who's drowning in meetings, and leave a review so more builders can find the show.

Well, that Mosque shooting disappeared faster than cocaine at a Hunter Biden party.Seattle's Democratic Socialist Mayor is losing businesses like no where else. The Colombia Tower Club just closed after 40 years. Amazon Fresh and Amazon Go has closed all their stores. Jeff Bezos left, Howard Schultz founder of Starbucks left. Their capital gains tax collection is down 50%. Per Cushman Wakefield vacancies rates are 36.5 for commercial property. Pioneer square is at 50% vacancy. The Needle, Seattle's iconic structure is now a homeless encampment. Business are running from socialist ideas and sanctuary cities. At this pace tax rates will increase on those remaining. It's just a matter of time for the city to collapse. Fewer people to tax, fewer jobs, more homeless.[X] SB – Ad against TalaricoGod is non-binary6 sexesAmerican flag complicated signalStephen Colbert signs off from late night television, and the media acts like we just watched the first moon landing, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the Beatles reuniting all at once. “Historic ratings!” they cry. “A cultural moment!”Yeah? Let's talk about those numbers.Colbert's final show pulled 6.74 million viewers. And to be fair, that is a big number by today's standards. It was the highest-rated weeknight episode he ever had. Bigger than his premiere. Way above his recent average of around 2.7 million.But here's the problem. Context is undefeated.Johnny Carson's final show in 1992 pulled over 55 million viewers. Fifty-five million. That was when America still had fewer people and fewer TVs. Carson had a 62% audience share. Think about that. Six out of every ten televisions in America were tuned into one guy sitting behind a desk telling jokes.That's not a TV host. That's a national event.Jay Leno signed off with nearly 15 million viewers. David Letterman got almost 14 million. Colbert, meanwhile, needed every other late-night host to basically go dark and funnel their audience to him just to hit half of what Leno and Letterman did.And this was his BEST night, outside of his piggybacking on a Super Bowl one night.That's like a baseball player retiring with a .195 batting average and ESPN running graphics like Babe Ruth just left Yankee Stadium.What happened to late night?Simple. It stopped being funny and started becoming political group therapy.Johnny Carson made everybody laugh. Republicans, Democrats, people who didn't know who the Vice President was. Carson wasn't trying to “educate” America. He wasn't trying to save democracy between commercials for sleep medication and adult diapers. He just wanted to be funny.Colbert and these modern late-night guys? Entirely different business model.Every night became the same routine: Trump joke. Republican joke. Democracy is ending. Commercial break. Repeat until pharmaceutical side effects include “thoughts of self-harm.”At some point, late night stopped feeling like comedy and started feeling like being trapped at a dinner party with your angry NPR cousin who uses the phrase “lived experience” while borrowing money from his parents.And then you see the staff photo.Have you seen this thing? It looked less like a comedy show staff and more like a government agency. I heard estimates anywhere from 120 to nearly 200 people working on that show.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Death row inmate Tony Carruthers was scheduled to die by lethal injection this morning in Tennessee. The execution was initially delayed as officials awaited the Supreme Court’s decision on an ACLU emergency filing asking for a stay of execution to test DNA from the case. Once SCOTUS denied the request, medical personnel spent an hour and a half looking for a suitable vein for a backup line and could not find one. Officials then called off the execution and as we recorded this episode, the Governor issued a reprieve for Carruthers for one year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Celia Bull and her partner Paul set out to climb a sea-stack off the coast of Tasmania. Over 200 feet tall, this slender spire of rock is just 13 feet in diameter. The fact that it remains standing amidst the frothing waves seems to defy logic. When Paul is severely injured, he's left dangling from a rope off the side of the monolith. It's up to Celia to rescue him, before the rising tide can claim him… A Noiser podcast production. Hosted by John Hopkins.
