Returning to the world of science fiction with the first in The Illuminae Files trilogy by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff - I found I couldn't stay away from their collaborations and I am sad that after I finish the third book in the series, Obsidio, there are no more. What happens when it seems as though the only beings talking sense after a planet is invaded by a violent and greedy corporation are a psychotic AI and two teenagers? Through medical files, IM chat records, illustrations and military reports we find out what Kady and Ezra do when their planet is taken over and, having lost everything, they have to figure out what's really going on and try and protect what's left of their lives. And then of course there's AIDAN... Featured Episodes Aurora Rising Skyward Featured Links Instagram Being Bookish Website
In this episode of Boston Scientific Talks, Peter Pattison, President, Interventional Oncology, and Liza Davis, VP of R&D, Interventional Oncology, share insights into the acquisition of Obsidio and the integration of its unique gel embolic material technology into Boston Scientific's portfolio. The technology, described as a "conformable solid," offers a unique balance between a liquid and solid embolic, providing physicians with precise control and rapid occlusion during interventional oncology procedures. The discussion also covers the successful transition from FDA approval to commercialization, with Obsidio technology already being used in several cases. Looking ahead, Pattison and Davis discuss the potential for further applications of the technology and its integration with Boston Scientific's new coil products.

In this episode, host Dr. Aaron Fritts and interventional radiologist Dr. Kevin Henseler discuss his treatment algorithm and new technologies for embolization of GI bleeds. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Boston Scientific Obsidio Embolic https://www.bostonscientific.com/obsidio --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Henseler starts by differentiating between lower and upper GI bleeds. Upper GI bleeds tend to be more life-threatening and are most commonly caused by esophageal varices or duodenal ulcers, and many of these consults come from the endoscopy suite. These upper GI bleeds also have a higher risk of recurrence. On the other hand, lower GI bleeds can be more indolent. CTA is the most efficient way to assess the source of GI bleeding. It provides valuable information about the vascular territory, including localization of bleeding, planning where to inject during angiography, and variant anatomy. If CTA is negative for bleeding, Dr. Henseler does not move onto angiography. He monitors the patient for further signs of intermittent bleeding and may re-image or intervene the following day. If CTA does show bleeding, Dr. Henseler moves onto angiography and embolization. He finds that there are few contraindications to angiography. Relative contraindications include renal insufficiency, which is a small tradeoff for a lifesaving procedure, and contrast allergy, which can be addressed with a preprocedural steroid dose. When it comes to methods of embolization, detachable coils have been a mainstay. While they are more expensive than pushable coils, detachable coils allow for more exact placement and increased safety and more IRs are being trained to use these now. Dr. Henseler also discusses the use of embolic particles, which carry risks of end-organ damage and ischemia, as well as embolic glue, which can be difficult to use if the operator does not have sufficient training. Then, we shift gears to discuss Obsidio, a new injectable solid that is soon to be commercially available. It exists as a liquid when it is in its pressurized form within the microcatheter; however, it immediately solidifies in the vessel as soon as the injection ceases. Obsidio is made of radio-opaque tantalum so it is visible on CT, stays permanently in the vessel, and can be used in conjunction with coils if desired. Additionally, its cohesive properties decrease the risk of abdominal extravasation and it can be used with any catheter. --- RESOURCES Dr. Kevin Henseler LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-henseler-364832231/ CTA for Lower GI Bleeds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWEf_sAUGKU Ep. 179- Happiness is a Warm Coil: Treating GI Bleeds: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/179/happiness-is-a-warm-coil-treating-gi-bleeds Ep. 216- Stick It: Glue Embo: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/216/stick-it-glue-embo

What is the best book you’ve read lately? In today’s episode, I’m sharing my favorite books of this winter - from December - February. Every quarter I round-up my most-favorite books and share them here. If you are subscribed to my YouTube channel, you may recognize some of these books, as they were part of my Best Books of 2019. If you like learning about great books and you are NOT subscribed over on YouTube, you are missing out! I share reading vlogs, monthly round-ups, and all kinds of fun bookish stuff in my Monday videos at TaraSwiger.com/YouTube. You can scroll down and see my whole Reading playlist or click on Videos to see my most recent videos. StatsI have read 16 books so far, and I will likely finish another 3 before the end of the month. 4 mysteries, 2 giant YA space operas over 600 pages, 3 personal memoir essay-ish things. All three of the memoirs were great, so I’m going to just quickly tell you, you should read them: Enough, by Shauna Ahern, who you may know as Gluten-Free Girl. I read her blog years ago, and so I picked this up when I saw it on the New Book shelf at the library. It is totally different and so good. Shauna tells the story of how she began to feel as if she is enough, after a lifetime of living by the girl code (criticizing your body, trying to be smaller), a traumatic childhood and trying to make money on the internet. I think anyone who is a woman or works online should read it. How We Fight for our Lives by Saeed Jones, is the memoir of a young black gay man growing up in Texas. There is violence, there is sexual content, and there is a really beautiful story of finding himself and figuring out his relationship with his mother. Thick and Other Essays, by Tressie McMillan Cottom, is a series of essays about her experiences being a black woman academic living in the world. It’s about thickness, of body and of thought, and explores beauty and twitter and class mobility. Read it if you like Roxanne Gay or Lindy West’s Shrill. Now, the fiction books: Such a Fun Age by Kelly Reid might be my favorite book of the year, ALREADY. A young black woman is babysitting for a white family and has a very racially charged experience in a grocery store. The story unfolds from that tense beginning, but the book itself manages to be fun and compelling and build a momentum that had me up until 3am finishing it. It’s really about white privilege and how “good” white people try to do the right thing while completely ignoring the black person’s agency and selfhood. This book is complex and real and although it sounds like it could be heavy, it’s actually just great fun. Illuminae, by Amy Kaufman is so weird I can’t believe it’s so good. It’s a kind of YA space opera with horror. I only think it’s YA because the protagonist is a teenage girl, who is saving absolutely everyone. But it’s a little dark and splattery for like, 12 year old Tara. It is really about survival and sacrifice and telling your own story. I’ve read the second book in the trilogy, Gemina, and I liked it almost as much. I’ve got the last book, Obsidio, on my shelf. The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo has been on my shelf forever, but I had been avoiding it because it’s written in prose. It took me a minute to sink into it, but when I did, man! It beautifully tells the story from the perspective of a young Dominican girl living in Harlem who is figuring out adolescence and her conservative family, while starting to write slam poetry. It is just the most gorgeous and most true book I’ve read about what it means to be a girl when you start to get unwanted male attention… but it’s not even really about that. Ok, so a few more books I read and loved but am not going to go into detail about: Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead A Blade So Black by LL McKinney The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn. These were a few really good reading months! I think I got to some deeper books, like the memoirs, because we didn’t have kids for a few of the months (in case you don’t understand how we only sometimes have kids - we’re foster parents). When you purchase the book using my links, I earn a tiny percentage, which frankly, goes to buying diapers. I get most of my books at my local library, so check yours out because libraries are amazing. Lots of my faves came from the Book of the Month Club (referral link). In a few weeks I have my 300th episode - to learn how you can participate in my celebration, be sure you’ve joined the Facebook group - facebook.com/groups/taraswiger Thanks for listening and have a book-filled enthusiastic week!
