Today, we're excited to bring you the first episode in a special Raise the Line series that Osmosis from Elsevier has created in partnership with the Cohen Center for Recovery from Complex Chronic Illnesses (CoRE) at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital. PAIS: Root Causes, Drivers, and Actionable Solutions is a ten-part examination of a range of post-acute infection syndromes such as long COVID, tick-borne illness, chronic fatigue syndrome, and connective tissue disorders. Your host, Dr. Raven Baxter, a molecular biologist and Director of Science Communication at CoRE, will be joined by an impressive array of specialists in the field to explore causes, symptoms, diagnoses and treatments, as well as the devastating impact on patients who often struggle for many months or even years with a troubling span of symptoms affecting everything from muscle movement to mental health. As you'll learn in the series, diagnostic protocols are lacking for many of these conditions, leading to delayed treatment and prolonged suffering for patients. In this inaugural episode, Dr. Baxter is joined by microbiologist Dr. Amy Proal, CEO of the PolyBio Research Foundation; Yale University Professor of Immunobiology, Dr. Akiko Iwasaki; and Dr. Edward Breitschwerdt, Professor of Medicine and Infectious Diseases at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine who will discuss the Building Blocks of PAIS.Mentioned in this episode: Mount Sinai Health System Steven & Alexandra Cohen Foundation 

We've devoted quite a bit of time on Raise the Line to learning about persistent workforce shortages in human healthcare and what is being done about them, but as yet have not turned our attention to the fact that veterinary medicine is facing the same headwinds. To find out more about how that challenge is being addressed and to learn about other current issues in veterinary medicine we turn today to Dr. Kathryn Meurs, Dean at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. One cause of the lack of veterinarians is too few slots for students, but Meurs says there is good news on that front. “There are several new veterinary schools coming online and many existing schools have increased their class size like we have.” Meurs says the profession is starting to think outside the box for other ways to build capacity including getting practices to offer more flexible work schedules, asking vets planning to retire to stay on part-time and expanding the role of veterinary technicians. Join host Hillary Acer to learn all about that and about the educational and research career tracks open to veterinarians, the importance of vet students developing great people skills, and the many clinical trials underway at NC State that sit at the intersection of human and animal health. Mentioned in this episode: https://cvm.ncsu.edu/

Episode 131: Five Topics on Mental Health for Architects & DesignersWhat are specific strategies architects and designers can implement to support their mental health?For this week's episode, we've selected five mental health topics that commonly relate to the practice of architecture: identity, perfectionism, stress + anxiety, burnout, and coping strategies. Allison Grubbs, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist, and Certified Clinical Supervisor, joins us to discuss these in-depth. Allison is actively working with the North Carolina State University College of Design to integrate mental health into the curriculum. She'll share her insight on supporting design students and practitioners alike.We begin the conversation by addressing the identity of becoming an architect. We learn whether perfectionism is externally or internally motivated (or both!). We also hear Allison's perspective on why boundaries are the key to leading with vulnerability. We discover the power of explicitly acknowledging big emotions or moments and how stress impacts the mind and body. Allison also illustrates how she defines burnout, and provides differentiation for certain feelings, such as belonging and fitting in, and feeling stressed and overwhelmed.“We will always have ruptures, we will always have issues that come up. A big piece of parenting, work, partnership, any kind of family work, is about repair. And if leaders can get really good at repair, it really helps the whole culture.” - Allison GrubbsTo wrap up the episode, Allison shares ways leaders can use curiosity and self-awareness to better understand their humanness and perception. Her advice: gestures of curiosity and kindness toward ourselves and others are the gateway to making a big difference in support of what we consider most important, mental health included.Tune in next week for a conversation with Canoa's Head of Design and Head of Brand, as they talk about a new Firm Ownership, Mergers, and the transition to working in tech. Guests:Allison Grubbs is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist, Certified Clinical Supervisor, and is Certified in the work of Dr. Brené Brown. She was trained in 2013 by Brené Brown and has been facilitating her work in both clinical and professional settings ever since. She has been practicing as a therapist for about 16 years and maintains a private practice in downtown Raleigh. Allison also works with leaders and organizations to help them practice and grow in emotionally healthy ways. You can connect with Allison on her website.

If you practice medicine long enough, you may find that mistakes can happen despite our best efforts. Although anesthesia is vital to provide appropriate care in many clinical situations, it also has the potential to create adverse side effects, complications, and even life-threatening situations. For this reason, veterinary professionals providing anesthesia services should strive to promote a culture of patient safety within their practices. If this is a concept you have not heard before, or if you are a policy geek who gets excited over checklists, then this episode is for you! Host Dr. Bonnie Gatson is joined by Dr. Lydia Love, a boarded veterinary anesthesiologist from North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine and a strong advocate for patient safety in anesthetic practice. Together, they will discuss various aspects of patient safety, including what a hospital with a robust culture of patient safety looks like, why safety culture is important for the well-being of both patients and veterinary practitioners and why you need to fill your veterinary practice with checklists. We invite you to check out articles and checklists that are referenced in the episode, including the original WHO Surgical Safety Checklist, the Association of Veterinary Anaesthetists (AVA) resource on checklists, and the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeon's site on everything you need to know about implementing a veterinary surgical checklist, which includes examples and templates.

As a veterinarian, Dr. Boswell is driven to learn all she can about horses, both inside and out. After graduating from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in 2009, she completed a year-long Equine Medicine and Surgery Internship at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. Subsequently, she worked with Dr. Lisa Fortier at the Cornell University Comparative Orthopedic Laboratory and then completed a three-year Large Animal Surgery Residency at the University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine. In 2014, Dr. Boswell passed the rigorous, two-day examination set forth by the American College of Veterinary Surgeons and became a Diplomat. Dr. Boswell is now working in private practice at Hardaway Veterinary Hospital in Belgrade, Montana. Each day, her patients still teach her new things. Watching horse interactions at home has led to a thirst for knowledge of horse behavior. In addition to seeking information from books and trainers, she also learns from the medical literature on animal behavior. This crossover has led her to strive to handle her own animals, as well as her patients, in a low-stress way. She is a Fear Free certified veterinarian and is working on the Fear Free horse modules.

Dr. Duncan Lascelles, a famous veterinary surgeon and pain expert, and Dr. Margaret Gruen, a veterinary behaviorist, tackle chronic pain together at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. What are the clinical signs of chronic pain in cats? Does their behavior change? Did you realize that 60-90 percent of cats between 6 months and 20 years have symptoms of degenerative joint disease? Of those cats, 45% have pain. 100% of cats older than ten years have signs of DJD.

In Episode 14 of the second season of A is for Architecture, I speak with architect and scholar (and personal hero), Henry Sanoff, professor emeritus at the North Carolina State University. Henry has a remarkable story to tell, starting in the office of Frank Lloyd Wright (on the Guggenheim!) and then on to Edward Durrell Stone, before heading off to Jamaica to test his mettle as an architect and to develop a programmatic, ethnographic approach to design. This led to a long career in community participation design, and we discuss three texts he produced through this: Community Participation Methods in Design and Planning (Wiley, 2000), Participatory Environmental Design (CreateSpace, 2018) and also Visual Research Methods in Design (Routledge, 2018). Henry has produced an abundance of academic outputs over his long career, but this pales in comparison to his very broad and deep community projects, which are the basis for his writing. All his texts are filled with cases and examples of how stuff can get done with communities to make better architecture. You can hear him speak about it in this informative Lockdown Era online lecture ‘Henry Sanoff - Community Participation Methods in Design and Planning' for North Carolina State University College of Design. Henry is on LinkedIn here and his ResearchGate profile contains links to downloadable versions of most of his works.

This is the second part in a series of multiple "Candid Conversations" with Dr. Bryan Taylor of Taylor Mobile Veterinary Dentistry. Dr Taylor was kind enough to sit down with us to discuss some of the many cases we have seen this year during our routine exams here at Leatherman Lane, as well as some terminology, insight into equine dentistry, a little background on him personally, and so much more... Dr Taylor graduated from Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine in 1996, and moved to North Carolina to join a practice (focusing on all aspects of equine medicine) in Davie County shortly thereafter. In 2002, he left to start his own practice, that dealt exclusively with equine dentistry. His desire to promote the importance of equine dentistry has led him to teach at the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine, where he holds the position of Adjunct Assistant Professor. Please feel free to comment, share, & ask any questions! This video is filmed in Concord, North Carolina so depending on where you are in the world, may not line up with how you do things for your horses (and that's OK). We hope you will get as much as we did from these conversations with Dr Taylor and look forward to sharing the rest of the series with you soon...

This week on The Pet Buzz, Petrendologist Charlotte Reed and Michael Fleck, DVM, talk with North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine's Margaret E. Gruen, DVM, MVPH, PhD, DACVB about a new canine sleep study; with Matt Peskin, the Executive Director of the National Association of Town Watch about neighbors assisting local law enforcement as extra eyes and ears while out walking their dog. Reed and Fleck talk about ways to honor dogs and other pets that have passed.

Owning a pet means making decisions that affect their health — from what they eat, to whether and how much they exercise, to how they spend their days. Some of those decisions are easy — should we get our yowling cat fixed? — but others are wrenchingly tough — how much is too much for lifesaving surgery? On this episode, we explore some of the emotional, financial, and ethical dilemmas that come with owning a pet. Among the conundrums we explore: Should cats be let outside? When is it OK to crate your dog — and is there science that supports the practice? When do you know that it’s time to let your fur-baby go — and what’s the kindest way to do it? Also heard on this week’s episode: Bioethicist and writer Jessica Pierce weighs in on some of the complicated ethics of owning pets — from whether goldfish and geckos are in solitary confinement, to the humane way of walking dogs. Her latest book is called “Unleashing Your Dog: A Field Guide to Giving Your Canine Companion the Best Life Possible.” We chat with Mariea Ross-Estrada, a veterinarian and professor at North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine, about dos and don’ts for keeping pets.

This week we’re honored to be joined by the 2019 SAVMA Teaching Excellence Award Winner Kristen Messenger, DVM, PhD, DACVAA, DACVCP. Dr. Messenger is currently a pharmacology professor at the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine. In this high-energy conversation, Kristen shares her own journey to becoming a veterinarian, the biggest challenges her students are facing, and the ways she’s working to improve the next generation of veterinarians. From student debt to social media, this is a conversation for any Viewfinder who wants to become a veterinarian, are currently in veterinary school, or have already graduated. It’s that good! Dr. Messenger also co-hosts a podcast for her students, and you can hear a few samples here: Season 1, Episode 9:  Special guest, former veterinary student, Dr. George Shaaf visits the podcast and talks about student perspectives and anesthetic risk; we talk about special laryngeal mask airway devices (V-gels). https://cvm.online.ncsu.edu/online/FileServer/Presentation/bb3fbd604e4e4ce0a0b28c1135ec95f91d/25e0dfd8-7366-491c-b489-e0a87076b1c8.mp3?FeedId=5acf0874e965468d9989398545ea07fb17

Often the topic of diversity and inclusion is overlooked in veterinary medicine, and Allen Cannedy is dedicated to changing that. The Director of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs at North Carolina State University College of Vet Med, Allen is a mentor and recruiter of students from all groups that are underrepresented in the veterinary world. Today we are diving into racism, socioeconomic status, and how we can do a better job of making the veterinary world, and the world in general, a more inclusive place. We are touching on sensitive topics that deal with years of oppression and looking to the future and ways we can increase inclusion to better serve all humans and animals. Allen is passionate about bringing the necessity of diversity and the benefits of welcoming someone different than you in. We are reliving my childhood innocence about race, and looking at the modern landscape of how our society operates today and how we can improve going forward. By recognizing and appreciating that a diverse group is a stronger one, we can continue to expand as a profession. Allen is changing the way we view diversity in the veterinary field and encourages us all to be champions for diversity and inclusion. What are your experiences with the topics discussed today? Share with us in the comments on the episode page!   In This Episode Race, religion, and acceptance in veterinary schools and admissions processes Key points that any organization needs to do before bringing diversity change How as a society of human beings we need to start helping each other out Why Allen chose to specialize in goats, sheep, lamas, and alpacas What are HBCU’s and why they are important to the American education system   Quotes “To make diversity and inclusion a reality, you've gotta invest, you cannot just talk about it to make it happen” (4:30) “Those individuals are telling them things that are wrong. It is up to me and others like me to raise awareness, correct those misconceptions and hopefully correct them with individuals that are different from me so those individuals can correct the thinking in those like them” (11:42) “Looking at people and appreciating people and accepting people for who they are is really all we need to be doing. And not passing judgment based on what someone looks like and the assumptions that come with those things” (17:50) “I question them to think about what they are saying because it's highly possible that nobody has ever questioned it before” (44:38)   Links My Mobile Vet   Find the full show notes here  Keep up with everything Podcast A Vet Follow Podcast A Vet on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram Join our free community of dedicated vet professionals looking to improve their practices and lives in our free Facebook community!
