Podcasts about Needle

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.

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.

The shift from purely clinical heart failure diagnosis to biomarker-guided management unfolded over decades of incremental evidence, institutional skepticism, and a handful of pivotal decisions by a small number of physician-scientists willing to champion tools before their adoption became mainstream.In this episode of Moving the Needle in Medicine, host Alexander Hajduczok, MD, a cardiologist and heart failure specialist at Oklahoma Heart Institute, interviews Jim Januzzi, MD, the Adolph Hutter Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, chief scientific officer and Gibson chair at the Baim Institute for Clinical Research, and a cardiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, to explore the formative experiences, clinical innovations, and leadership principles that shaped his career and, more broadly, the evolution of modern cardiology.Januzzi described nearly declining the opportunity to conduct the first US-based clinical studies with NT-proBNP in 2002, having positioned himself primarily as a troponin and acute coronary syndrome researcher. The foundational diagnostic and prognostic work he ultimately led at MGH established the NT-proBNP cutoffs now used internationally, and the test has since evolved from an emergency department dyspnea-evaluation tool into a biomarker applied across all phases of heart failure management. He noted sacubitril/valsartan as a particularly meaningful convergence of therapeutic and biomarker science, consistently producing substantial reductions in NT-proBNP regardless of baseline value, a finding he has incorporated as a practical signal for adequacy of neurohormonal blockade.On the broader arc of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), Januzzi reflected on witnessing the introduction of beta-blockers for heart failure as a fellow, a shift once considered counterintuitive, and tracing the subsequent addition of each pillar as a reminder that even well-established treatment paradigms remain open to displacement by rigorous evidence. He described his involvement in the endpoint committee for the EMPA-REG OUTCOME trial as the entry point for his work with SGLT2 inhibitors in heart failure, another opportunity initially approached with ambivalence. Despite four-pillar GDMT, he noted residual event rates underscore the continued need for novel therapeutics, and he expressed enthusiasm for gene-editing approaches and RNA-silencing therapies now entering cardiovascular development pipelines.Across the conversation, Januzzi returned to the role of mentorship and deliberate career planning, including maintaining clinical trial involvement from early protocol design rather than joining established programs at the phase three stage, advocating for sponsorship alongside mentorship, and structuring academic evolution in intentional five-year increments. The discussion positions biomarker-guided heart failure care not as a completed project but as a framework still being refined as the disease's diagnostic boundaries and therapeutic options continue to expand.

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. What's the one building task you're choosing this week?

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.

Think fire ants are the worst thing hiding in your backyard? Think again. In this episode of the Peskies Pest Control Podcast, Travis introduces a stealthy new invader that's rapidly expanding across the Southeast: the Asian Needle Ant. Unlike common yard pests, these tiny, orange-legged insects don't build massive mounds—instead, they lurk quietly in mulch beds and woodpiles, packing a sting described as ‘liquid fire’ that can pose a serious medical threat. Tune in to learn how to spot their bizarre behavior, avoid their painful sting, and protect your yard from this aggressive ecosystem hijacker. Podcast Transcript:Travis: Hey everyone, welcome back to the Peskies Pest Control podcast. I'm Travis, your host. You know, we talk a lot on this show about ants, we talk a lot about termites, uh, little crawling insects like that, and we talk about how they're nuisances. Uh, you know, the ones that come along and ruin your outdoor gatherings in your backyard, um, or fire ants that, you know, leave itchy bumps on you and your kids’ ankles, you know, when you inadvertently walk through the grass and they, you know, you come into contact with them.But today we're going to discuss another pest that's been making some headlines this spring. You know, so we're halfway through May at this point, uh, and if you've been keeping up with the news, there's kind of a bit of a new insect in town. And that is the Asian needle ant.Now, I say new, although this ant has been around the United States for quite a while, um, but the “new” refers to the fact that they are currently exploding and invading across the Southeast. Uh, you know, a lot of experts refer to them as a medical pest, and there's a very good reason for that. If you're a gardener, uh, someone who enjoys hiking, uh, if you like to move a little bit of mulch in your backyard, then you need to know who these guys are before you reach into the wrong pile of leaves or dirt.So, you know, you may be asking, “Well, I've never heard of the Asian needle ant. What am I looking for exactly?” So, they're tiny, maybe even about a fifth of an inch long, if that kind of gives you an idea of just how small these Asian needle ants are. Now, as far as color goes, they're dark, they are kind of shiny and glossy, and almost black for most of their body.But there's a dead giveaway that you need to look for when you see these ants, and that is that they have a distinctive orangish-brown color to their legs and their jaws. So, almost a full black body, but their legs and their jaws are orange to orangish-brown. And honestly, you might not even see them coming because, unlike fire ants, they don’t build these huge nests in the middle of your lawn. They're a lot more stealthy. They do love moist and shaded areas. A lot of times you'll find them under, you know, rotting wood or logs, even maybe under your stones or pavers in your yard, or way down deep in a mulch bed. You know, they don't march in long straight lines like a lot of ants do when they make invasions on your house in your kitchen or, you know, in your bathroom. They are more likely to be loners and forage um, on their own, or solo.And you know, in fact, if an Asian needle ant actually finds a great food source, it doesn't leave a scent trail to attract other ants. But it actually goes back and picks up another ant and carries the ant to the food with them. Uh, so they're not communicating with those chemical trails that a lot of other ants leave. So, if you see what looks like an ant with two heads moving across a log or across a mulch bed, then you might actually be spotting this tandem carrying um, that these ants do, which is kind of classic needle ant activity.One more weird way to identify them is um, if you put them into a glass jar, a lot of ants can climb right up the side of a jar, but an Asian needle ant cannot climb any smooth surfaces. So, if it attempts to climb and it's sliding down to the bottom of the jar like it's maybe on a layer of slick ice, you've probably found an Asian needle ant.Now, let's talk a little bit about why they are referred to as medical pests. So, the sting has been described as liquid fire, uh, or as if someone is driving a hot needle into your skin. But here's the real danger: the ants are shy. They're not really aggressive like fire ants that, you know, come and swarm you the second that you step on a mound. So, most stings happen a lot of times when you accidentally trap one, you know, maybe you're wearing gardening gloves, one of them gets inside, or you lean against a tree where they're nesting. So, for most of us, it's just an intense localized pain. Uh, it can actually hurt for sometimes hours.But for about 1% to 2% of the population, it's actually a lot worse than that. So, these ants have an incredibly high rate of causing anaphylaxis. Uh, and if you don't know what that is, it's a life-threatening allergic reaction um, for people who may be hypersensitive to this interaction with the Asian needle ant. And so there's uh, people are reporting that, you know, those who have been stung by them, and they've lost consciousness within a minute of being stung. So, if you're already allergic to things like bees or wasps, then you probably have a much higher risk of this reaction.So, if you get stung, you feel dizzy, have trouble breathing, you end up having a reaction all over your body with hives—don't wait, don't put it off. I would say immediately call emergency services, dial 911. Uh, this is not just some sort of, you know, “rub some dirt on it” kind of situation where it's just going to go away like a lot of times people experience with fire ants. You just want to be extremely careful.And it's not just a threat to us; it's also a threat to our environment in general. So, uh, University of Georgia's actually done some research and show that in areas where these ants move in, native ants actually disappear. So, uh, they've actually done some studies where it looks like about 60% of the native ant population drops in the area where the Asian needle ants move in. And I know you think, “Well, I mean, ants are ants, who cares, right?” So, ants are what we can refer to as forest janitors. They turn the soil, um, they spread seeds for wildflowers. The Asian needle ant doesn't do anything like that at all. They come in, they dominate, they take over. Uh, they even move into termite galleries um, and force termites out, uh, which sounds like a win for your house, but it completely disrupts the ecosystem of the woods wherever they move in.So, you may be asking yourself, “Well, what do we do to combat this ant? What do we do to help fix this problem?” So, here's a couple of things: so clean up debris around your yard. You want to get rid of old wood piles, you want uh, get rid of old thinning layers of leaf litter. You want to watch for excessive moisture as well. So, if you got a leaky outdoor faucet, you may want to get that fixed and stop those leaks because these ants love and crave a damp environment. You know, when you're out and about, wear protective um, ensembles. You know, thick gloves, closed-toe shoes while you're working in the garden or moving landscape timbers, um, just protect yourself from the possibility of that interaction.And then also baiting can help too, um, and this is probably more from a pest control standpoint, although some people do, you know, attempt to do some pest control on their own. Um, but you know, a lot of times in the pest control world with ant baits, we have either sugar-based baits or protein-based baits. So, with these Asian needle ants, standard sugar-based baits a lot of times don't work because they prefer protein. So, if you're seeing them, you might need to call a professional who's got a professional-grade protein bait of some sort to get the job done with them as well.So, bottom line: the Asian needle ant’s not going anywhere, unfortunately, just like a lot of invasive species that come from other countries. Um, they get here, they take up residence, and they're here to stay. And as our climate warms up, they're only going to move further north. So, it's not about living in fear, it's about being aware of what's going on. So, when you're out and about outside, look for those ants with the orange, orangish-brown legs. Watch out for damp spots or, you know, old wood piles, mulch beds, things like that. And if you're hypersensitive to insect stings, definitely keep an EpiPen handy if you've had one prescribed by your doctor. Uh, if you have a high risk of having an anaphylactic reaction, it's definitely a good idea to keep that with you.Um, so thanks for tuning in. Uh, if you think you've found a colony in your yard, feel free to reach out to us. And probably not a bad idea to locate and reach out to your local agriculture extensions office—most areas have them. And let them know that you've found them—they're definitely keeping record and track of where these invasive ants are spreading to next.So, again, I'm Travis with Peskies Pest Control. Stay safe, stay pest-free, we'll see you next time. The post Worse Than Fire Ants? Meet the Asian Needle Ant appeared first on Peskies Pest Control.

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.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Sasha Hakman, double board-certified OB-GYN, reproductive endocrinologist and infertility specialist.She is brilliant, deeply human, and somehow manages to explain fertility, IVF, hormones and reproductive medicine in a way that feels empowering instead of wildly overwhelming, which is honestly a gift.We talk about IVF, infertility, egg freezing, genetic testing, needle-free IVF, paternal age, cycle tracking, stress, hormones and the very real gap between what women are taught about their bodies and what we actually need to know.Dr. Hakman also shares her own fertility journey, and reminds us that while there is so much we can support, infertility is not a mindset problem, and it is not your fault.Highlights:(03:55) - How Dr. Hakman found her way into fertility medicine(09:35) - Cutting through the opinions, scare tactics and fertility noise(13:10) - Why age matters, and what fertility preservation can offer(19:11) - How needle-free IVF actually works(23:26) - Why tracking your cycle is one of the most important skills you can learn(39:33) - The truth about fertility in your 30s and 40sSasha's Links:sashahakmanmd.cominstagram.com/sashahakmanmdhttps://youtube.com/@sashahakmanmd?si=q6DwtG5jHGBEK5AOhttps://www.tiktok.com/@sashahakmanmdQualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole's on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole's bestselling children's book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.

Live from across the ocean and right in the heart of Washington D.C., this episode bridges small-town farm traditions with high-stakes national anxieties. The morning kicks off with U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer calling in from the nation's capital to chat about the economic and military chess match at the U.S.–China summit, the true scale of the AI arms race, and local battles over debt and taxes in Fargo. Then, Hayden and Titus from the NDSU Turning Point USA chapter take the mic to tackle the terrifying realities of an emergent AI surveillance state, drawing eerie parallels to Orwell's 1984. We keep "Feel Good Friday" alive with Jett Yoder from Father's Farm, sharing powerful redemption stories of turning lives around through faith and farm work. To wrap it all up, the crew swaps legendary rock stories from North Dakota's past, talks about the future of consumption taxes, and breaks down the upcoming state primary. Standout Moments & Timestamps [12:56] Top-Tier Gravitas in Beijing: Senator Kevin Cramer breaks down the geopolitical weight of Donald Trump bringing "half the GDP of the United States" to China, highlighting the massive GE jet engine sales and trade strategies designed to put Iran on notice. [13:50] Threading the Needle on Taiwan: A deep look into the military realities facing Congress. Cramer addresses the delicate, nuanced defensive policy required to back the freedom-loving people of Taiwan while navigating concessions asked for by Xi Jinping. [14:75] Big Brother's New AI Brain: The NDSU TPUSA crew hits Senator Cramer with the tough questions, expressing deep concerns over mass data tracking and asking what national protections stop a future rogue administration from turning public AI traffic cameras into weapons against political dissidents. [15:41] Gathers, Nets, and FBI Abuses: Senator Cramer details the ongoing congressional battles over renewing Section 702 of FISA, admitting that the FBI has illegally abused its authority in the past to spy on capital reporters, the administration, and members of Congress. [16:18] Fargo's $1.3 Billion Debt Bomb: The hosts unpack the staggering financial reality of a local city deeply in debt, taking aim at progressive institutions that go "looking for problems to fix" just to continuously re-up property and sales taxes. [17:23] Dave Ramsey in the Classroom: The crew advocates for mandatory personal finance classes in high school, declaring that every government institution needs a Dave Ramsey advisor because "every dollar has a name." [18:13] The Pandemic…

Kaycee McIntosh and Julie Henningsen recount the June 2008 Regatta de Amigos disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, when the 38-foot racing sailboat Cynthia Woods lost its keel, punched a hole in the hull, and capsized in 30–60 seconds about 11 miles south of Matagorda. Safety officer Roger Stone woke to rising water, warned the crew, and pushed two sleeping sailors up through the flooding companionway, but never surfaced; five others survived by lashing together, keeping a positive mindset, and signaling with a single flashlight until the Coast Guard rescued them 26 hours later, while their EPIRB and life raft were trapped below deck. The episode highlights wearing life jackets early, carrying a waterproof light, having a float plan, and mounting EPIRBs for automatic access, then covers conflicting investigations, a settlement supporting Stone's children, and his posthumous Coast Guard Gold Lifesaving Medal. 00:00 Podcast Intro 00:29 Nightmare Below Deck 02:49 Meet the Crew 07:23 Rough Night Conditions 10:42 Keel Failure Chaos 15:23 Escape Into Darkness 17:17 Staying Alive Together 19:46 No Beacon No Raft 21:46 Needle in Haystack Rescue 25:05 Recovery and Loss 25:31 Safety Lessons Offshore 29:24 Investigations and Lawsuit 33:44 Honoring Roger Stone 36:07 Final Takeaways and Outro Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreaon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcast Email us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.com Instagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/ Get schooled by Julie in outdoor wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/ KEY REFERENCES: "Roger Stone: The TAMUG Hero You've Never Heard Of."

Tuesday, 12 May 2026   And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”  Matthew 19:24   “Again, now, I say to you, easier, it is: camel through ‘aperture, needle' to traverse, if rich entered into the ‘kingdom, the God'.” (CG)   In the previous verse, Jesus noted the impracticability of a rich man to enter the kingdom of the heavens. He now shows just how hard this is, saying, “Again, now, I say to you, easier, it is.”   Jesus will give an example of the immense impracticability of a rich person getting into the kingdom of the heavens. His words have resulted in several unfounded explanations of the meaning. What He says is, “camel through ‘aperture, needle' to traverse.”   Two new words are introduced here. The first is trupéma, an aperture. In the case of a needle, it would be what we call its eye. The second is the rhaphis, a needle, coming from rhapto, to sew.   In plain English, Jesus says that it is easier for a camel to go through the aperture (the eye) of a needle than what He will next state. Before that, two amendments to this over the centuries to soften the meaning have been made. The first is that some claim the word is not κάμηλος [kamelos], a camel, but κάμιλος [kamilos], a cable. It is agreed there is no support for this, but it was introduced.   The second change-up is a switcheroo in the meaning of “aperture.” Instead of it being a literal needle's eye, it is a gate called the Eye of the Needle, which is not big enough for a camel to go through.   This is something that was introduced much later in Christian history. Most believe it came about around the 1400s to soften the meaning of Jesus' words, probably introduced by someone who was rich and didn't like the implication of what Jesus says, which continues with “if rich entered into the ‘kingdom, the God'.”   In other words, it is easier for a camel to squish through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get to heaven. The comparison of an animal going through a literal needle's eye is seen elsewhere in Mideastern writings. The Koran uses Jesus' statement exactly, without regard to a gate. The Talmud uses the term “elephant” instead of “camel.”   Another point is that the word trupéma, aperture, in Matthew is changed in Mark 10:25 to trumalia, orifice. Likewise, the word rhaphis, needle, is changed in Luke 18:25 to belos, a missile (as in the flaming darts of Ephesians 6:16).   Why are these changes important? It is because they demonstrate that Jesus was talking of something small, held in the hand, and that has an aperture or an orifice, not an eye. The word “eye” is an explanation, not a translation. In other words, Jesus was speaking of a literal needle with a teeny weeny, eensy weensy hole in it.   It was a phrase that would have been known and understood by the disciples without any changes or needed modifications.   Life application: At times, pastors will use the “small gate” explanation in an attempt to justify why it is ok to be rich, teaching that Jesus was giving a moral lesson and He wanted to show that a camel must get on its knees to squish through such a small gate. Thus, we should be humble as we rake in the millions.   This is a ludicrous twisting of Scripture, and it completely misses Jesus' point. The words of this verse are making a point about trusting in anything but God for a right standing with him. Jesus will even say this explicitly.   But people run ahead with teachings that are easy to comprehend, sensational, or that seem to relieve the immense tension that arises with such a bold statement about wealth and salvation. If they would pick up the Bible and read it in context and from cover to cover, the tension would fade away.   Paul explains exactly what the meaning of Jesus' words is in 1 Timothy 6:17 –   “Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.”   Jesus was speaking about trust. Paul, speaking through Timothy to rich people (yes, saved rich people), speaks about trust. Trust in Jesus, regardless of how much you have, little or much. That is the sweet spot.   Heavenly Father, whatever wealth or possessions we possess, they ultimately came from You. We thank You for what we have, but we also know it could all be gone in a flash of fire or a deluge of water. We will put our trust in You alone for all things. Amen.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Alan Needle not only about his running adventures, but the research he is conducting at races put on by Tanawha Adventures and Dirty Wolf. Alan and his team are conducting a survey-based research study that is aiming to better understand what changes risks of falling and other injuries while you're running. So, if you are running the Kettlefoot, Ridge to Rails, Black Copperhead Sting, HAROC or Beast of the East you need to sign up to be part of this study! More races could be added, so stay tuned by following Injury Lab's instagram @injurylabappstate or checking out their website: https://phes.appstate.edu/laboratories/injury-laboratory. There are incentives offered for being part of these studies, so you don't want to miss out on this opportunity. Listen as Alan describes the research he is doing, plus what led to his specific interest in studying those that trail run. I was fascinated by his discoveries so far that have been published, and I am definitely going to stay tuned to the results of this research.

Claim your complimentary gift of my exclusive mini weight care guide today!Link: Weight Care Guide — Dr. Francavilla Show (thedrfrancavillashow.com)What If You Could Get the Benefits of a GLP-1 — Without the Needle?That's exactly the question Foundayo is answering — and it's one that a lot of patients have been waiting to ask. For years, one of the biggest barriers to GLP-1 therapy has been the injections. Not everyone is comfortable with self-injecting, not everyone has the time to manage refrigeration and travel logistics, and not everyone needs the most powerful medication on the market. So when a new oral option enters the picture, it's worth paying close attention. In this episode, Dr. Becky Andrick joins the show to break down everything you need to know about this brand-new medication. Dr. Andrick is a fellow of the Obesity Medicine Association, associate clinical professor at Rocky Vista University, founder of the Colorado Obesity Society, and the founder of Weigh to Wellness, a private weight loss practice in Denver. She also happens to be the physician who first inspired our host to pursue obesity medicine — making this conversation as personal as it is clinical. These two experts go way back to residency, back when the entire obesity medicine toolkit was like, basically just phentermine. Watching this field evolve together over the past 14 years gives their conversation a depth and perspective that's hard to find anywhere else.In this episode, we cover:What makes Foundayo different from every other GLP-1 on the marketWho qualifies — and who should stay away from it entirelyThe side effects you can expect and exactly how to handle themWhat the clinical trial data actually says about real-world resultsWhy keeping the weight off is the harder battle — and how to win itNo matter where you are in your weight loss journey — whether you're brand new to all of this, already on a medication and wondering what else is out there, or simply trying to make a more informed decision for your health — this conversation was made with you in mind.Hit play and tune in to the full episode above.Connect with Dr. Andrick:Website: Weigh To Wellness DenverInstagram: wtwdenverConnect with me:Instagram: doctorfrancavillaFacebook: Help Your Patients Lose Weight with Dr. FrancavillaWebsite: Dr. Francavilla ShowYoutube: The Doctor Francavilla ShowGLP Strong: glpstrong.com

The boys are back and barreling ever closer to the end of Michael's big book of Grimm's brothers! First what feels like a twist on a classic tale...until it gets kinda dark. Then we keep the darkness rolling!

This week's stories: *Bartonella Hides in Cat Scratches — and It Might Be Why You Feel Like Garbage A stealth bacterial infection transmitted by everyday cat scratches and flea dirt has been quietly linked to chronic fatigue, brain fog, and neurological symptoms for decades. Dave breaks down how Bartonella slips past standard testing, why it's almost never on a conventional doctor's radar, and the specific PCR protocol you need to actually find it. Sources: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ *High Tyrosine Levels May Be Cutting Years Off Men's Lives A Mendelian randomization study of 270,000 UK Biobank participants found that elevated tyrosine is causally linked to nearly a full year of lost lifespan in men — with zero effect in women. The culprit appears to be an inflammatory oxidation pathway that men metabolize very differently. Dave examines what this means for every guy stacking L-tyrosine nootropics or eating high-protein keto.

Dave covers the mechanism, who benefits most (screen workers, TBI recovery, gamers), and how to find a provider.

Dave breaks down why this combo works when either ingredient alone doesn't.

Dave makes the case for building a daily scent ritual.
