In this episode, we chat with Scott Vincent, President of the Critical Ocean Minerals Research Center, who are an organisation representing a group of stakeholders who have been studying seabed mineral extraction, and take a closer look at some of the important issues surrounding this method of mining. The organisation aims to provide balanced information on the environmental and economic aspects of deep-sea mining, addressing both its potential benefits and concerns. Scott’s background combines extensive experience in finance and investment with a focused interest in marine resource management, positioning him to contribute significantly to discussions on sustainable ocean mineral extraction. On this podcast, Scott talks about the benefits, negatives, and impacts of harvesting polymetallic nodules, some of the misperceptions about nodule harvesting, what it means for this industry with a new administration in power, and a lot more. KEY TAKEAWAYS Deep sea mining primarily targets resources located below 1,000 meters, focusing on three main types of formations: polymetallic nodules, seafloor massive sulfides, and cobalt crusts. Polymetallic nodules are considered the most attractive due to their ease of extraction and lower environmental impact. Harvesting polymetallic nodules can have negligible to positive impacts on human health and welfare. It offers a potential solution to reduce reliance on terrestrial mining, which often has severe negative effects on human health and the environment. Additionally, deep sea mining can lead to lower CO2 emissions and less toxic waste compared to traditional mining methods. There is significant opposition to deep sea mining, largely driven by environmental groups advocating for a moratorium. Common misconceptions include exaggerated claims about the destruction of ocean ecosystems and the potential release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which are not supported by scientific evidence. The International Seabed Authority (ISA) governs deep sea mining in international waters, but the presence of countries that rely on terrestrial mining for their economies complicates the regulatory process. Some nations, like the Cook Islands, are moving forward with regulations for deep sea mining. BEST MOMENTS "We found that there was just a lot of misinformation, omitted information, and there was kind of a void in the marketplace where there wasn't a response from industry to counter some of the narratives out there." "The first benefit I always talk about is the fact that it looks like the impact on human health, human welfare, from harvesting nodules is negligible to positive." "The interesting thing in my book is that WWF looks the other way when we have these atrocities in the DRC and Indonesia." "If we fulfilled all those requirements with nodule harvesting tomorrow onward for the next 20 years, we would only touch 0.06% of the abyssal plains."

Insurance is everywhere, established to transfer risk or to compensate for loss. Deep-sea mining has attracted much attention lately, as we look to offshore exploration and extraction for energy and mineral resources. As the UN International Seabed Authority deliberates standards and regulations related to drilling into the ocean floor, insurers of deep-sea risk are calculating potential loss as potentially so great that no coverage would be adequate to cover the costs of consequence, and no payment large enough to mitigate the risk of deep-sea mining. About World Ocean Radio World Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

New research suggests that polymetallic nodules found 13,000 feet deep produce “dark oxygen” by electrolyzing water. Also, at higher altitudes, the air is less dense, which makes it harder for birds in flight to generate lift. The turkey vulture has a solution. Deep-Sea ‘Nodules' May Produce Oxygen, Study FindsAn international team of researchers recently discovered that some 13,000 feet below the ocean's surface, oxygen may be produced through natural electrolysis. The group found that small lumps called polymetallic nodules at the bottom of the ocean appeared to act as geo batteries, producing enough electricity to break down water and make oxygen.That observation challenges the idea that photosynthesis is necessary to produce enough oxygen for living organisms. The researchers hypothesize that this could be a source of oxygen for deep-sea creatures. But while it gives some answers as to how life can thrive at the bottom of the sea, it also raises a lot of new questions.Science Friday guest host and producer Charles Bergquist is joined by the lead electrochemist of the study, Dr. Franz Geiger, the Charles E. and Emma H. Morrison Professor of Chemistry at Northwestern University, to answer some of these questions.One Bird's Physics Trick For Flying At High AltitudesIf you've ever taken a trip to a higher elevation, you know that the air gets thinner as you go up. If you're not acclimated to the altitude, it can feel harder to breathe. That thinner air also makes it more difficult for birds and airplanes to fly, because it's harder to produce the lift forces in thinner air. But it turns out that turkey vultures have a way of dealing with that problem.Researchers observed turkey vultures in flight at different altitudes and found that rather than flapping harder or more rapidly to deal with decreased lift, the turkey vulture exploits the lower drag in thinner air to fly faster, using increased speed to help balance the lift equation. Dr. Jonathan Rader, a postdoctoral research associate in biology at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and an author of a report on this research published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, joins SciFri's Charles Bergquist to explain how flying things work to adapt to different flight conditions.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

Composed of cobalt, manganese, and nickel, these nodules form a polymetallic matrix that can generate a significant voltage when clustered together. This voltage is essential for splitting oxygen from water, a process that typically requires light for photosynthesis to occur. However, in the dark depths of the deep sea where light does not penetrate, these nodules serve as natural geobatteries, generating the necessary voltage to produce oxygen. The discovery of oxygen production by deep sea nodules challenges the conventional wisdom surrounding deep sea mining. While deep sea mining has been promoted as a means to extract valuable metals for various industries, the potential impact on oxygen production in the deep sea raises significant concerns. The presence of these nodules not only supports diverse ecosystems but also contributes to the geochemical processes that sustain life in the deep sea. The revelation that deep sea nodules are involved in oxygen production underscores the complexity of deep sea ecosystems and the interconnectedness of marine life. The implications of deep sea mining on oxygen production and ecosystem health must be carefully considered in light of this new information. The balance between economic interests and environmental conservation becomes even more delicate when the fundamental role of these nodules in oxygen production is taken into account. This discovery prompts a reevaluation of the necessity and sustainability of deep sea mining practices. It raises questions about the long-term consequences of extracting nodules from their natural habitat and the potential disruption to oxygen production and deep sea ecosystems. As we continue to explore and understand the deep sea, it is essential to prioritize the protection of these vital ecosystems and consider alternative approaches to resource extraction that minimize harm to the environment. The discovery of "dark oxygen" in the deep sea, as discussed in the podcast episode, has significant implications for the ongoing debate surrounding deep-sea mining. The revelation that certain nodules sought after for mining are actually contributing to oxygen production in the deep sea challenges the perceived necessity of deep-sea mining for metals like cobalt, manganese, and nickel. The presence of these nodules, which create a polymetallic matrix capable of producing oxygen, raises questions about the trade-off between resource extraction and environmental conservation. Deep sea mining companies have invested substantial resources in developing technologies to extract these nodules efficiently. However, the newfound understanding of the role of these nodules in oxygen production highlights the potential consequences of disrupting deep-sea habitats for mining purposes. The episode emphasizes the importance of considering the impact of deep-sea mining on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Areas rich in these nodules exhibit higher biodiversity levels compared to mined regions, indicating the potential ecological harm caused by mining activities. The interconnected nature of deep-sea ecosystems underscores the need to evaluate the long-term effects of deep-sea mining on species dispersal and habitat connectivity. Furthermore, the discovery of "dark oxygen" challenges the traditional understanding of oxygen production in the absence of sunlight. This raises questions about the origins of aerobic life and the evolution of complex organisms in oxygen-deprived environments. The implications of disrupting the natural processes that contribute to oxygen production in the deep sea underscore the need for a more comprehensive assessment of the environmental costs and benefits of deep-sea mining. In conclusion, the revelation of "dark oxygen" in the deep sea prompts a reevaluation of the necessity and consequences of deep-sea mining. It calls for a balanced approach that considers both the economic benefits of resource extraction and the preservation of deep-sea habitats and biodiversity. The ongoing debate surrounding deep-sea mining must now incorporate the newfound knowledge of oxygen production in the deep sea to make informed decisions about the future of deep-sea exploration and conservation. The discovery of oxygen-producing nodules in the deep sea sheds light on the intricate interconnectedness of ocean ecosystems and the potential consequences of deep sea mining on marine life dispersal and population dynamics. The presence of these nodules, sought after for mining due to their metal content, plays a crucial role in providing oxygen in the dark depths of the ocean where photosynthesis is not possible. The episode discusses how these nodules, composed of cobalt, manganese, and nickel, create a polymetallic matrix that can produce enough voltage to split oxygen from water without the need for sunlight. This process not only sustains oxygen levels in the deep sea but also supports a more biodiverse community of animals in areas where these nodules are present. The higher diversity of fauna in nodular-rich regions compared to unmined areas underscores the importance of these nodules in maintaining healthy deep-sea ecosystems. Furthermore, the episode raises questions about the potential impacts of deep-sea mining on marine life dispersal and population dynamics. It highlights the interconnected nature of ocean ecosystems, where organisms rely on various mechanisms, such as larval dispersal, to populate different areas of the deep sea. The removal of nodules through mining could disrupt these natural processes, leading to changes in population dynamics and potentially affecting the overall health and resilience of deep-sea ecosystems. Overall, the presence of oxygen-producing nodules in the deep sea serves as a reminder of the delicate balance within marine ecosystems and the need for careful consideration of the impacts of human activities, such as deep-sea mining, on these interconnected systems. The episode prompts a critical examination of the trade-offs between resource extraction and ecosystem conservation in the deep sea, emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices to protect the biodiversity and functioning of these unique and fragile environments.

Health Mysteries Solved
156 Hyperthyroidism or Hypothyroidism? Reasons for Fluctuating TSH

Health Mysteries Solved

Shortcut to my thyroid program. The Case:  Lucy was experiencing symptoms that went back and forth She would experience heart palpitations, hot flashes, and anxiety and then she'd have periods of fatigue Her doctor suspected hyperthyroidism and tested her for Graves I knew that there was reason to investigate further because her symptoms weren't adding up. When it comes to hyperthyroidism, there's one person I often turn to - Dr. Eric Osansky, a chiropractor and host of the ‘Save My Thyroid' podcast.  His interest in hyperthyroidism comes from his personal Graves diagnosis in 2008. He is also the author of 2 thyroid books, ‘Natural Solutions for Hypothyroidism and Graves' Disease' and ‘Hashimoto's Triggers: Eliminate Your Thyroid Symptoms by Finding and Removing Your Triggers' On this show, we talk a lot about hypothyroidism and how Hashimoto's can be at play. Many don't think that Hashimoto's can also be present when someone has an overactive thyroid (Hyperthyroidism and sometimes Graves' Disease). It all starts by looking at and understanding TSH levels.  Reviewing the Basics of Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) The thyroid gland is a critical component of our endocrine system, responsible for regulating our metabolism. When it comes to thyroid assessments, most practitioners start by examining the Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH). Dr. Osansky explained that TSH stands for "Thyroid Stimulation-Communicating Hormone" and is produced by the pituitary gland. This hormone plays a vital role in communicating with the thyroid and serves as a fundamental element of many thyroid evaluations. When it comes to hypothyroidism, including conditions like Hashimoto's, you'll often see elevated TSH levels. This is because the thyroid hormone in the body is on the lower side. It might be just within the lab's reference range, or it could be overtly low. In response, the pituitary gland sends a clear signal to the thyroid: "We need more thyroid hormone!" This signal takes the form of an increased TSH level, prompting the thyroid gland to produce more thyroid hormone. Conversely, in the case of hyperthyroidism, it's the complete opposite. With hyperthyroidism, there's an excess of thyroid hormone circulating in the bloodstream, mainly bound to proteins. In this scenario, the pituitary gland signals the thyroid to slow down production. As a result, you'll commonly observe not only low TSH but sometimes an undetectable TSH, especially in conditions like Graves' disease. This undetectable TSH indicates that the pituitary is working hard to halt the overproduction of thyroid hormone. So, while TSH levels can provide valuable insights, they're just one piece of the puzzle. We need to dig deeper into the thyroid hormones to get the full picture.  Comprehensive Thyroid Testing is Always Key According to Dr. Eric, to reach a proper diagnosis, we must also examine the thyroid hormones, particularly free T3 and free T4. These free hormones offer a more accurate representation of thyroid function. In hyperthyroidism, where the thyroid hormones are typically elevated, examining free T3 and free T4 alone is often sufficient because total hormones will also be elevated. On the other hand, in hypothyroidism, some practitioners prefer to assess not only free hormones but also total hormones to gauge production since a significant portion of thyroid hormone is bound to proteins. Let's not forget reverse T3, an inactive form of T3. It's a bit of a controversial character in the thyroid world. Some suggest that reverse T3 may act as a blocking agent, especially in hyperthyroidism. Elevated reverse T3 levels are common in this condition, further hinting at its role in dampening excessive thyroid hormone activity.  But the thyroid's complexity doesn't end here. We also need to consider antibodies, which play a crucial role in autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto's. Plus, keep in mind that it's not just the thyroid at play; the pituitary gland could be throwing a wrench in the works too. Pituitary issues, such as a pituitary adenoma, can also affect TSH levels and the overall thyroid regulation. So, always remember that a comprehensive view is essential when evaluating thyroid health. What is Hashi-Toxicosis?  Hashi-toxicosis is a fascinating term that combines "Hashimoto's" and "toxicosis." It essentially refers to Hashimoto's thyroiditis with intermittent episodes of hyperthyroidism. When someone has Hashimoto's, the autoimmune attack damages the thyroid gland, causing it to release excessive thyroid hormone into the bloodstream. Consequently, when you get a blood test during such an episode, it can appear as hyperthyroidism. However, it's different from Graves' disease, where specific antibodies continuously stimulate the thyroid gland. In Hashi-toxicosis, these episodes of hyperthyroidism are transient, meaning they come and go. The duration varies from person to person, some experiencing these episodes for a few hours, while others may have them for a few days. These fluctuations can be triggered by various factors. For some, hormonal changes, like those related to the menstrual cycle or stressful events, can lead to these episodes. It's important to note that the frequency of these flares varies among individuals. Some may experience them frequently, while others only encounter them occasionally. In my own journey, I've had a couple of Hashi-toxicosis flares, both linked to high-stress events – one after moving and the other postpartum. These personal experiences have taught me that hormonal changes can significantly influence the frequency of these episodes. For those who face occasional flares, it can be a bewildering experience.  When I had my first episode, nearly two decades ago, it looked a lot like Lucy's situation. The doctor ran tests during a flare, and my thyroid hormone levels were off the charts. Not just my TSH, but all my thyroid hormones were elevated, which was rather unusual. The doctor even suggested the possibility of thyroid removal. Thankfully, my knowledge about Hashimoto's helped me question this recommendation, as I knew there was more to the story than met the eye. Get Curious About Unusual Thyroid Results It's absolutely crucial to explore all the possibilities when dealing with thyroid issues and stop the attack on our thyroid gland. Now, consider a scenario where someone, like Lucy, has a low TSH and elevated hormone levels. If it's not clear whether this is a transient episode, it's essential to retest and, most importantly, assess the antibodies. But what if the antibodies turn out to be negative, including TSI? What else could be behind these hyperthyroid symptoms and unusual lab results?  Dr. Osasnsky introduced the possibility of subacute thyroiditis. This condition often arises from viral infections, such as cytomegalovirus or even, more recently, the effects of COVID. It triggers significant inflammation in the thyroid, resulting in excess thyroid hormone production. Strangely, the presentation mirrors Graves' disease, yet the antibodies are absent. However, in most cases, within two to four months, this hyper phase shifts to a hypo state, and often, the hypothyroidism is temporary, eventually returning to a normal thyroid balance. One more thing to consider is medication. For example, if someone is taking a high amount of natural or synthetic thyroid, (whether it's levothyroxine or desiccated thyroid hormone) it can cause too much thyroid hormone. Nodules on the Thyroid and What They Mean In the world of thyroid health, nodules are a hot topic, and I get a lot of questions about them. One common query is, "Can nodules ever cause hypothyroidism?"  Dr. Osansky, explains that nodules typically don't lead to hypothyroidism directly. In fact, most of the time, they don't cause either hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism.  However, there's a bit of a gray area. In some cases, people with larger nodules, especially those over two centimeters, might experience changes in their TSH levels. Sometimes you'll see a depressed TSH with multinodular goiter, but the thyroid hormone levels will appear normal. So it's not exactly the nodules themselves causing hypothyroidism; it's more like a subtle alteration in the thyroid function. Of course, it's essential to consider that the interpretation can vary among healthcare professionals. Thyroid lab ranges can be quite wide, and what's considered "normal" in conventional medicine may not align with optimal thyroid health. It's always a good idea to work with a practitioner who understands the nuances of thyroid function. Nodules are surprisingly common, especially as we get older. About 50% of people over 50 have nodules, and the percentage increases with age. While you can't always completely prevent nodules, there are some factors to consider. Hormone imbalances, particularly issues with estrogen metabolism, can contribute to nodule development. So addressing this aspect can be essential.  Tests like the Dutch test can help evaluate estrogen metabolites, and you may need to consult a healthcare provider knowledgeable in thyroid health for this. Insulin resistance can also play a role, and keeping an eye on your hemoglobin A1C and fasting insulin levels can be informative. Iodine is another element that can be both a cause and a potential remedy for nodules. It's a bit of a gray area, and the research isn't entirely clear. However, it's wise to be cautious with iodine supplements, as they can worsen nodules in some cases.  There are some self-care practices like castor oil packs that some people swear by, although there's limited scientific evidence. Ultimately, it's a good idea to monitor nodules with follow-up ultrasounds. If you find that they're not growing or, even better, shrinking, then you're on the right track. But always consult with a healthcare provider who understands thyroid health to guide you on the best approach for your specific situation. Treatment Approaches and Medications for Hyperthyroidism Managing hyperthyroidism often involves a multi-pronged approach. Dr. Osansky pointed out that treatment can include medications like anti-thyroid drugs, radioactive iodine therapy, or even surgery in more severe cases. The choice of treatment depends on the individual's unique situation and the underlying cause of their hyperthyroidism. And, a holistic approach is key especially if treating the thyroid (and getting levels back into optimal range) doesn't cure the symptoms, other factors need to be explored.  Mystery Solved - Lucy's Case In order to get more info on Lucy's case, we did a few rounds of blood work so that we could really track what was happening. The tests showed low TSH and high thyroid hormones (generally interpreted as a hyper state). However, tests a few weeks later told a different story ; TSH was high and thyroid hormones were low. This swing left her feeling tired.  We tested for antibodies and found she was positive for Hashimoto's but not for Graves'.  We determined that the high TSH was likely due to a Hashimoto's flare up - and that these flare ups were frequent which explained why she could go from feeling very high energy to fatigue within days.  Next Steps  We needed to calm down her immune upregulation. We initiated an immune calming protocol and started to address her triggers. We discovered that she had a few infections that were adding to her triggers including H Pylori, SIBO, EBV. This was in addition to the other triggers that we all face including issues with her diet, environment, and stress.  We all have different triggers so it's important to determine your unique triggers - this is something I work through in my thyroid program. Happy Ending After 3 months of immune balancing nutrients and trigger support, Lucy noticed so much more balance. Her antibodies dropped and her TSH stabilized and she was no longer getting those up and down swings. Eliminating Health Mysteries For Lucy, we were able to find that missing piece of the health puzzle and help her regain her health. Could this be the missing clue for you or someone in your life?    Links: Resources mentioned Thanks to my guest Dr. Eric Osansky.

Recognizing the need for better care coordination and prompted by the experience of a patient partner, WellSpan Health embarked on a multispecialty effort to reimagine how incidental nodules are managed through the lens of the Quadruple Aim: improving the patient and provider experience, lowering per capita cost of care, and optimizing the health of populations. The new care delivery model identifies, implements, and expedites patient lung nodule care in real time and provides consistent follow-up along the continuum of care. The result: patient outcomes are optimized by early intervention of undiagnosed lung cancer. This care delivery model for incidental lung nodule findings can serve as a springboard for other incidental findings and help detect other early carcinomas. Guest: Nikhilesh Korgaonkar, MD, MBA, FACS Thoracic Surgeon Chief Medical Officer Wellspan Health Cancer Institute “One thing I will say is that I cannot understate the importance of marking sure all the stakeholders are on board with a program like this.

Lung nodules are found in up to half of adults who get a chest x-ray or CT scan. Often called a spot on the lung or a shadow, they usually don't cause any noticeable problems. However, in some cases, they can be an early sign of cancer. That's why it's important to seek follow-up care to accurately diagnose and monitor lung nodules. During this podcast, Dr. Ziv Gamliel, chief of Thoracic Surgery at The Angelos Center for Lung Diseases at MedStar Franklin Square Medical Center discusses lung nodules…what they are and how they are diagnosed and treated. For interviews with Dr. Gamliel, or for more information about this podcast, contact Regional Media Relations Director, debra.schindler@medstar.net.Learn more about Dr. Gamliel here.   For more episodes of MedStar Health DocTalk, go to medstarhealth.org/doctalk.
