Dive into AI tools in your personal life, work life and business by learning what to use, how to use it and how NOT to use it. In this episode, hosts Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS and Claire McLean, PT, DPT, NCS talk with physical-therapist-turned-entrepreneur Dr. Shanté "Movement Maestro" Cofield, PT, DPT, OCS about what AI is and how it can practically support health and fitness professionals. Shanté explains AI in simple terms as powerful computer programs called large language models (LLMs) that use math and probability to predict the most likely next word, making it possible for us to just "talk" to a chatbot and get useful outputs, even though the AI itself doesn't truly understand what it's saying. The conversation covers how AI can help with everyday, non-hands-on tasks like writing recommendation letters, drafting emails, creating presentations, automating small workflows (like forwarding utility bills), and building custom dashboards, all of which save time and let clinicians focus more on people instead of paperwork. The episode also touches on valid concerns about privacy and environmental impact, with Shanté encouraging a nuanced, "both-and" mindset: be informed and cautious, but also recognize that many of our tools already use AI and that the biggest gains come from offloading repetitive, non-client-facing work while keeping human creativity and connection front and center. The episode closes with resources for learning more, including Shanté's AI-focused project "Prompting Curiosity" and her main platform, The Movement Maestro, and an invitation for clinicians to simply start experimenting so they can see for themselves where AI helps and where it falls short.

On the Season 10 finale of FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast, we welcome back Anthony Lombardo, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, USAW, USA-PL, TSAC-F, Pn. 1. Anthony is fresh off two new certifications, expanding his expertise further into oncology and pelvic floor physical therapy. First, he talks about how patients can strengthen their pelvic floor and highlights the benefits of incorporating good breathing techniques. He then discusses what pushed him to specialize in cancer rehabilitation, teaching PTs how to safely work with individuals undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Because pushing a patient too hard can cause fatigue to carry over into subsequent sessions, finding the right clinical balance is vital. We close out our season finale by discussing why enjoying the learning process is so important and how continuing education ultimately benefits both clinicians and patients.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a range of fascinating advancements in the industry, each with significant implications for future patient care and drug development. At the recent American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) 2026 conference, Akeso's ivonescimab, a pioneering PD-1xVEGF bispecific antibody, demonstrated a 34% reduction in death risk when combined with chemotherapy for first-line lung cancer treatment. This marks a pivotal moment in cancer therapeutics, illustrating how bispecific antibodies can enhance treatment efficacy. The evolving landscape of cancer treatment continues to highlight the importance of these innovative approaches. Johnson & Johnson's Erleada has shown promising results in prostate cancer, achieving positive outcomes in its Phase 3 Proteus study. The trial emphasized the efficacy of Erleada when administered perioperatively to prostate cancer patients, indicating a shift towards more personalized and comprehensive care that incorporates targeted therapies before and after surgery. In another significant breakthrough, Lilly's Retemvo exhibited dramatic results in early-stage lung cancer with RET fusion-positive markers, reducing disease progression or death by 83% as adjuvant therapy. This underscores the critical role of molecularly targeted therapies for patients with specific genetic profiles, offering hope for improved survival outcomes. On the frontlines of infectious diseases, Shionogi's COVID-19 antiviral Xocova has received FDA approval as a post-exposure prophylactic. This milestone highlights the challenging yet dynamic landscape of antiviral drug development, offering a new tool in managing COVID-19 exposures after previous challenges in demonstrating effectiveness as a treatment. MannKind's inhaled insulin, Afrezza, has been approved for pediatric use. This approval could rejuvenate its market presence by providing a more convenient insulin delivery system aimed at improving adherence and glycemic control among younger patients. In oncology news, Pfizer's Talzenna combination therapy received broader FDA approval for castration-sensitive prostate cancer. This positions it as a competitive option against Johnson & Johnson's PARP inhibitor combination therapy. Additionally, AstraZeneca's Imfinzi and Imjudo combination showed promise in early-stage liver cancer by reducing disease progression risks by 30%, broadening immunotherapy applications. The market dynamics are also shifting with significant strategic movements like Eli Lilly's acquisition of Kelonia Therapeutics for $3.2 billion. This decision is driven by promising in vivo CAR-T data demonstrating unprecedented response rates and reflects the increasing importance of innovative CAR-T therapies in oncology. Eli Lilly's Kelonia Therapeutics' cell therapy showcased an impressive 100% response rate in a Phase 1 trial for relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma. This CAR-T therapy targets the BCMA antigen and could revolutionize treatment paradigms by offering more effective responses. Meanwhile, Pfizer's transformative research on RAS inhibitors holds potential to redefine treatment paradigms in pancreatic cancer—a notoriously difficult-to-treat type due to its complex biology. Revolution Medicines aims to maintain its leadership within this space amidst growing competition. Revolution Medicines also reported compelling results with their KRAS inhibitor, which nearly doubles survival rates for metastatic pancreatic cancer patients harboring KRAS mutations. Given the historically poor prognosis associated with pancreatic cancer, these findings represent a significant advancement in managing this aggressive type. In ovarian cancer research, Gilead's TUB-040 demonstrated a 61% tumor response rate for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer in a Phase 1 trial. This highlights the potential of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) to overcome resistance mechanisms and improve outcomes in difficult-to-treat cancers. Regulatory updates include Johnson & Johnson receiving FDA label expansion for Tremfya to inhibit structural joint damage in active psoriatic arthritis patients. This expansion provides broader treatment options for patients suffering from debilitating conditions by reinforcing the role of IL-23 inhibitors in autoimmune disease management. Strategic partnerships are also shaping drug development's future landscape. Notably, Servier's acquisition of Edgewise Therapeutics' muscular dystrophy unit underscores growing focus on rare diseases and neuromuscular disorders. Eli Lilly's agreements with Haisco Pharmaceutical and Hanmi Pharm reflect ongoing R&D investments aimed at expanding therapeutic portfolios across various indications. These developments illustrate a broader trend toward personalized medicine and targeted therapies that enhance treatment efficacy by leveraging specific genetic or molecular characteristics. Despite advancements, challenges remain as exemplified by Oculis' OCS-01 failing Phase 3 trials for diabetic macular edema—highlighting inherent risks in drug development. Overall, these updates underscore significant scientific progress and promise improvements in patient outcomes through novel therapeutic approaches and collaborative efforts within this vibrant industry landscape.Support the show

Part of my work as Founder/Director of DiepCFoundation is traveling to medical conferences. In April of this year, at the ARSA Summit, Advanced Reconstructive Surgery Alliance 2026, I met Alina and Carolyn who both work in cancer rehabilitation. Their booth at the conference intrigued me and we started a robust conversation on the value of their work especially as it relates to breast cancer and breast reconstruction surgery. This episode of the DiepCJourney® podcast is on the topic of Breast Cancer Rehabilitation Therapy at ReVital Cancer Foundation. It will be available on the DiepCFoundation YouTube channel when published. Alina Hedaya, PT, DPT, OCS, Cert MDT is a Doctor of Physical Therapy. Her current focus is bringing rehabilitation to the forefront of cancer care. Alina is actively involved in training clinicians all around the nation so that cancer rehabilitation services are available for people right in their own communities. She serves on the board of the International Cancer Rehabilitation Foundation. Carolyn Kalpas, PT, MSPT, is a cancer rehabilitation advocate and Specialist & Director for ReVital Cancer Rehabilitation at NovaCare Rehabilitation. She works as the liaison to healthcare in the oncology world. Carolyn believes that cancer rehab is an amazing part of what can be done for patients in supporting them throughout their cancer care and beyond. We begin by discussing some of the most common physical challenges for breast cancer patients. Alina describes a few of the challenges. · Pain · Fatigue · Limited shoulder mobility · Scar tissue issues · Lymphedema · Being able to be independent after surgery. We discussed the different considerations for rehabilitation following breast reconstruction and breast surgery. They emphasized the importance of looking at each patient on an individual basis, assessing their needs, and meeting them where they are in the recovery process. Surgical precautions are taken depending on what type of surgery a patient has. Alina shares an important statement that summarizes the value of a rehabilitation specialist. "You have someone by your side understanding what's safe." We discuss lymphedema awareness, the importance of movement and its benefits in lymphedema treatment, and how they communicate with patient providers to maximize patient outcomes. They both share lifestyle modifications including aerobic activity, strength training for major muscle groups, skin care, getting proper fluid intake, aligning with surgical protocols during recovery, and we mention the value of a food diary to track optimal nutrition for patients. I want to announce that June is Cancer Rehabilitation Month.

On the Q1 2026 earnings call for TransMedics, the CEO said something that stopped everyone in their tracks. Major transplant programs, he said, are going to Home Depot and buying YETI coolers to preserve human hearts before transplantation. None of those coolers are FDA-approved. None are validated for that purpose. That is the status quo TransMedics is trying to replace.This is CSI's update on TransMedics following their May 5th earnings report. TransMedics is not a semiconductor company — it sits in CSI's small bets basket, a collection of positions outside the core semiconductor thesis that Kasey follows closely. The company is building what it describes as the premier program for organ transplantation, combining a warm perfusion technology called the Organ Care System with its own aviation logistics network to dramatically improve the odds that a donated organ reaches its recipient in viable condition.The Q1 2026 numbers are solid. Revenue of $174 million, up 21% year over year, with 82% of organ transplants now covered by TransMedics' own logistics service. But the more interesting story is what comes next across four distinct growth catalysts.First, the CHOPS system — a new cold preservation device TransMedics just developed to serve the segment of the heart transplant market where cold storage is sufficient and warm perfusion is not required. Of 4,646 hearts transplanted in 2025, roughly 2,100 were preserved for less than four hours. That entire segment is currently going to Home Depot coolers. CHOPS is also the control arm TransMedics needed to run the ENHANCE Heart clinical trials — a clever solution to the problem of not being able to find a competitor willing to run head-to-head against their warm perfusion system.Second, European expansion — a logistics partnership with PAD Aviation in Germany and new infrastructure in Italy that could eventually double the total addressable market.Third, the kidney opportunity. Over 20,000 deceased kidney transplants happen annually in the United States. Between 8,000 and 9,000 kidneys are discarded every year due to prolonged ischemic times. TransMedics has designed a Gen 3.0 OCS platform for kidney transplantation, targeting 2027 for market entry.Fourth, the Gen 3.0 platform upgrade for liver, heart, and lung — parallel development tracks that modernize the core product across every organ.Kasey closes with something genuinely useful: an honest accounting of what could go right and what could go wrong, and why she continues to hold a small position.This episode was released to Semi Insider members several weeks before this public version.

Quelques mois après les élections municipales en France, et à 1 an de l'élection présidentielle, la montée de l'extrême droite continue, mais la lutte s'organise. Le match est terminé seulement après le coup de sifflet final ! Pas de défaitisme ! Parmi ses courants : le masculinisme qui pousse la misogynie à son paroxysme. L'une de ses formes est la misogynoir, qui vise les femmes noires dans laquelle la race et le genre jouent un rôle concomitant. Le concept est inventé par Moya Bailey, féministe noire et queer. Il me semble indispensable d'écouter et réécouter les autrices et auteurs qui travaillent sur ces sujets. Voici donc une rediffusion de l'épisode 50 avec la journaliste et autrice Christelle Murhula, que j'avais interviewée en novembre 2022 lors de la parution de son livre "Amours silenciées - Repenser la révolution romantique depuis les marges" aux éditions Daronnes. Cet essai brillant et facile à lire pose une question épineuse : la révolution romantique dont nous parlent Victoire Tuaillon, Mona Chollet, Titiou Lecoq, Charlotte Bienaimé, et d'autres autrices féministes et militants, cette révolution est-elle possible pour tous et toutes ? Quand on subit le racisme, le fétichisme, le validisme, la grossophobie et d'autres discriminations, peut-on rêver à un amour possible avec plus d'égalité, plus de respect ? Quand on grandit dans un monde où prendre un café avec son crush n'est pas accessible (parce qu'il n'y a pas d'endroit !), vit-on les mêmes histoires d'amour ? Comment construire nos modèles romantiques ? Autant de questions passionnantes et bien d'autres (dont le colorisme) que nous abordons ensemble dans cet épisode. Bonne écoute !

Elle permettrait de sortir de la dépendance à l'Autre, de combattre les inégalités dans le couple, surtout hétérosexuel, et de se sentir plus libre dans ses choix. Certain·e·s diront même que révolutionner son couple, c'est un peu abattre le patriarcat.Si le programme paraît alléchant et si le débat est absolument indispensable, Christelle Murhula, journaliste et féministe noire, ajoute sa pierre à l'édifice en faisant un constat un peu amer : cette révolution amoureuse ne s'adresse pas à tout le monde, et surtout pas à elle.En partant de travaux scientifiques, d'exemples précis et de son expérience, l'autrice interroge les solutions proposées par cette grande révolution. Elle se demande : pour qui existe la révolution romantique ? Quelle est la place des femmes noires dans ce débat ? Qui sont les oubliées de l'amour ?Et surtout : pourquoi vouloir faire couple à tout prix ?Un livre qui nous permet de faire un pas de côté sur le débat actuel ; aujourd'hui il n'est plus possible de penser cette révolution individuellement, mais c'est bien une lutte collective qui doit se mettre en place." Ainsi que le livre collectif auquel elle a participé "Moi aussi MeToo, au-delà du hashtag" paru en octobre 2022. Résumé : "À l'occasion des 5 ans de #MeToo, un livre collectif dirigé par Rose Lamy qui croise les regards de neuf femmes sur cette révolution féministe, ses limites, ses enjeux et ses perspectives.En octobre 2017, #MeToo se propageait sur les réseaux sociaux, et le monde ne serait plus jamais comme avant. Si l'on sait que ce mouvement marquera l'histoire, on peine encore à en mesurer toutes les conséquences, tant il est en évolution permanente et ouvre des fronts de lutte multiples.Cinq ans plus tard, ce collectif dirigé par Rose Lamy réunit neuf femmes et autrices.Elles sont journalistes, militantes, musiciennes, étudiantes, philosophes, chercheuses ou essayistes, d'origine et d'âge différents, et portent un regard singulier sur cette révolution féministe. Le mouvement a-t-il réellement commencé en 2017 ? Y a-t-il eu une « vague » en France ? A-t-il profité à toutes les femmes ? Que veulent les victimes de violences sexistes ? Quelles forces s'organisent contre #MeToo ?" https://www.editions-jclattes.fr/livre/moi-aussi-9782709671200/ Références citées dans l'épisodeLivres"Réinventer l'amour : comment le patriarcat sabote les relations hétérosexuelles " de Mona Chollet, éditions La Découverte https://www.placedeslibraires.fr/livre/9782355221743-reinventer-l-amour-comment-le-patriarcat-sabote-les-relations-heterosexuelles-mona-chollet/"A propos d'amour" de bell hooks (les minuscules sont le choix de l'autrice), éditions Divergences https://www.placedeslibraires.fr/livre/9791097088514-a-propos-d-amour-bell-hooks/ Podcasts"Le coeur sur la table", de Victoire Tuaillon, Solène Moulin, Naomi Titti, Diane Jean (Binge Audio), avec aussi les hors séries de Ovidie et Tancrède Ramonet "La dialectique du calbute sale" et "Les ex de François" de Judith Duportail https://www.binge.audio/podcast/le-coeur-sur-la-table"Mansplaining", de Thomas Messias (Slate), épisode enregistré en public au Paris Podcast Festival avec Marie Sauvion de Télérama, Anaïs Bordages et Marie Telling de Peak TV, et l'humoriste Laurent Sciamma (dont je vous recommande chaudement les spectacles) https://www.slate.fr/audio/mansplaining/la-recherche-de-modeles-masculins-dans-les-fictions L'extrait où Laurent Sciamma propose un monde où les hommes hétéros consacrent autant de temps à sauver la planète qu'ils en consacrent au foot. https://twitter.com/Louisa_A/status/1296444294883086336 Films, documentaires, série"Préliminaires" sur Arte : "À l'ère des réseaux sociaux, le premier baiser a laissé place à des pratiques plus crues, véritables rites de passage vers l'âge adulte.

C'est un traitement différentiel stéréotypé, souvent inégalitaire, des individus selon leurs peaux, les plus claires étant considérées comme « plus jolies », au détriment des carnations et teints foncés, ou encore selon la texture et couleur capillaire, la physionomie et l'apparence du visage. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorisme_(discrimination) Au sujet du colorisme, je vous recommande les vidéos de Clémence sur sa chaîne "Keyholes and snapshots" https://youtu.be/US3LyMBqqCc et le podcast d'Emilie Mendy "Sauver sa peau" (produit par Nouvelles Ecoutes) https://nouvellesecoutes.fr/sauver-sa-peau-le-nouveau-documentaire-intime-politique/ dans la collection "Intime & politique" https://nouvellesecoutes.fr/podcast/intime-politique/ AVERTISSEMENT IMPORTANT : Ne jamais s'inscrire sur une application ou site de rencontres payant sans 1) lire les avis sur Google (Play store) ou Apple (App store) 2) lire les conditions tarifaires de l'abonnement. Ainsi je vous déconseille fortement le site PARSHIP, qui pratique l'extorsion : on ne peut pas résilier avant 1 an obligatoire, même si on n'utilise plus le service, qui n'est pas satisfaisant, car très peu de personnes dans votre région. Le service client n'a que mépris pour les clients et le service communication ne veut rien entendre (un comble), aucun arrangement possible. Donc évitez-vous une dépense inutile.

Things Discussed: VALIANT! Craig shares the story of the nadir of Michigan basketball: Northwestern-Michigan. Combine: Michigan rosters do not lie: Bare feet measurements were the real measurements. Meanwhile Alabama is adding 4 inches. Brandon McCoy—needs to make free throws but he's going to lead the B10 in steals. Quinn Costello: remarkable shooter, is a true jumpshot. Does he have a left hand? Does he have any post-up game? Skinny right now. Jalen Reed is VERY interesting. Fluid at 6'10, can defend and shoot and should be healed after a year from an Achilles. Will Wade just invents new ways to be the villain of CBB. Football: Zack Marshall and four OCs in four years. Bryce in the offense: Going to use his legs more than his arm. Should create more explosives because you're taking away a free hitter from the defense. Will also feature the tackles in space more. To run this you have to beat what stops it, IE Don Brown man defense. JJ Buchanan could be a breakout guy. Is that the way to get 5-star QBs? No, but maybe you should be looking to the portal nowadays.

Host Kevin Gormley is joined once again by Alex Whelan from Kaplan to help candidates prepare for the May Operational Case Study (OCS) exam. Whether you're early in your preparation or refining your technique, Kevin and Alex provide practical insights to help you focus on what matters most: applying your knowledge to the case with confidence. Good luck to all candidates! Building on the popularity of their February episode, Kevin and Alex focus on the May case study scenario featuring SOPA, a family‑owned restaurant business operating in a competitive market. The discussion provides practical guidance on how students should interpret the pre‑seen, identify exam‑relevant issues, and approach answers across all OCS core activities. This episode is especially valuable for candidates sitting their first CIMA Case Study exam and transitioning from Objective tests to a fully integrated, scenario‑based assessment. It offers a concise but comprehensive roadmap for tackling the May 2026 OCS exam. Key Topics Covered Case Study Overview: SOPA SOPA is a family‑owned restaurant chain operating across nine locations. The business operates in a highly competitive hospitality sector with tightening margins. Strong revenue growth and profitability, but operational and strategic risks are emerging. Heavy reliance on customer reviews, staff morale, and brand reputation. Industry themes include: Rising labour and food costs Low consumer confidence Staffing shortages Cost‑of‑living pressures Strengths and Risks in the Pre‑Seen: Positives Strong revenue and gross margin growth (outperforming the market) Healthy cash position and working capital Loyal customer base and sustainability credentials Standardised menus and processes Strengths and Risks in the Pre‑Seen: Risks & Weaknesses Declining customer reviews High staff turnover and morale concerns High fixed‑cost base Dependence on single suppliers Potential over‑expansion risks Expansion & Strategic Decisions Potential exam‑relevant initiatives discussed in the pre‑seen included: Opening new restaurants Launching a ghost kitchen Developing a branded dips product line Entering a new foreign market Exploring AI and digital ordering technology The move from B2C to B2B activities is highlighted as a significant operational and financial risk area that candidates should prepare to address. Exam Focus: Core Activities Breakdown Alex walks through all six OCS core activities, highlighting what candidates should expect and where SOPA‑specific issues may arise: Core Activity A – Costing Marginal costing vs absorption costing New syllabus focus: Environmental and quality costing Digital vs traditional costing (apps, online ordering, IT support costs) Cost of quality (prevention, appraisal, internal & external failure) Core Activity B – Budgeting & Forecasting Incremental vs zero‑based budgeting (ZBB) Forecasting and seasonal trends Rolling budgets and beyond budgeting Importance of clearly explaining ZBB steps Core Activity C – Performance Management KPIs (occupancy rates, sustainability, quality, staff metrics) Variance analysis (including mix variances) Use of attachments and data in answers Core Activity D – Accounting & Reporting Reduced weighting but still examinable PPE decisions (buy vs lease) Inventory valuation (IAS 2) Capitalisation and depreciation Implications of sustainability investments (e.g. vertical farming) Core Activity E – Decision Making Relevant and incremental cash flows Outsourcing vs in‑house production (dips, ghost kitchen) Decision trees and expected values Linear programming and constraints Weighted average benefit analysis Core Activity F – Risk & Working Capital Inventory management (EOQ vs JIT) Working capital cycle (negative cycle at SOPA) Receivables emergence from B2B expansion Factoring and invoice discounting Cash surplus management and over‑trading risks How the Exam Is Marked Alex explains CIMA's four assessment pillars: Technical understanding Communication & professional tone Use of information provided (attachments) Application to the scenario Key advice Refer to SOPA frequently — name the company, people, products, and locations. Use clear sub‑headings and structured answers. Justify recommendations clearly. Use planning time effectively. No calculations required — focus on explanation and application. Exam Tips & Final Advice Expect questions around ghost kitchens, expansion, and B2B risks Practice with mock exams and review model answers Focus on structure, relevance, and professionalism Remember: you must advise SOPA, not write generic theory Useful Links Finance Leadership Program: https://enroll.cgma.org CGMA Hub with Case Study Resources & Mock Exams Thanks for listening.

Photo: Marcia Lowry outside the federal courthouse in Anchorage on September 8, 2025. She was lead attorney in the class action lawsuit against the Alaska Office of Children’s Services. (Matt Faubion / Alaska Public Media) Judge Sharon Gleason dismissed a federal class-action lawsuit filed against the Alaska Office of Children's Services (OCS) Tuesday. The lawsuit was brought by a national nonprofit working for foster care reforms. Attorneys for the organization alleged Alaska foster children are at risk of harm because of systemic problems that violated federal laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and federal child welfare protections. They pointed to high caseloads for caseworkers and an inadequate hiring and training process. About two thirds of kids in out-of-home care in the state are Alaska Native, but Gleason wrote that the attorneys did not prove that any of the foster youth represented were actually harmed. Gleason also questioned the reliability of the evidence presented. Marcia Lowry is attorney and executive director of A Better Childhood, which brought the suit. She calls the dismissal “quite disappointing”. “We did do a trial that involved a lot of evidence that, I think, was largely undisputed about how high the caseloads are in Alaska, about the lack of placement resources for children, about the failure to basically make attempts to remedy that situation.” She says a lot of children in Alaska are not getting benefits they are entitled to under federal law. Lowry says A Better Childhood is not sure yet of its next steps but is considering an appeal. “We have seen dysfunctional child welfare systems really, really change and provide good services to kids, but we have seen that only as a result of litigation.” OCS declined an interview for this story. In a written statement they said they are pleased with the court's decision and the verdict is an opportunity for the office to continue advancing its work. This story was provided by Alaska Public Media's Rachel Cassandra The U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C. (Photo: Gabriel Pietrorazio) The U.S. Supreme Court last week spent two hours hearing a landmark case that could upend birthright citizenship. A 19th century ruling on the citizenry of tribal members was at the heart of the Trump administration's defense. KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has this report. This was the exchange during oral arguments when U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch pressed Solicitor General John Sauer, who presented the government's case. Sauer: “Yes, yes, so a tribal Indian for example gives up allegiance to…” Justice Gorsuch: “Are tribal members born today birthright citizens?” Sauer: “Uh, I think so – on our test, yes – if they're lawfully domiciled here. I have to think that through, but that's my reaction.” Gorsuch: “I'll take the yes, that's alright.” In an 1884 majority decision, the justices ruled John Elk, a Winnebago man living in Omaha, was not a U.S. citizen in spite of the 14th Amendment – codifying birthright citizenship. “My mother was probably not a United States citizen when she was born in 1923 in Oklahoma.” Bob Miller, who is Eastern Shawnee and with Arizona State University's Indian Legal Clinic, has been teaching this very precedent of Elk v. Wilkins for three decades now. “I disagree completely with the argument that that's analogous to undocumented immigrants and them having children here.” Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Today's episode focuses on EMDR, what it is, and how it can help struggling moms shift their mindsets at the root of trauma. We are discussing EMDR intensives, including how to assess your readiness for this type of healing, and how it differs from typical talk therapy. Join us to learn more! Amity Olson, LCSW, has been providing individual and group therapy since 2008. Her clinical work focuses on helping adults heal from trauma through evidence-based techniques. She owns Olson Counseling Services and currently works with mothers who are struggling to manage and navigate unrealistic expectations. Amity loves to “nerd out” on administrative tasks and recently began offering budgeting services for solo practitioners in private practice through Practice Desk x OCS. She is an EMDR-certified therapist, a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers, and a member of the Academy of Food Allergy Counseling. Outside of work, Amity is an avid Green Bay Packers fan and a mom struggling to survive her child's senior year of high school. She is licensed to practice in Delaware, Florida, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Show Highlights: A basic understanding of EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and how it helps the mind and body “get on the same page.” EMDR incorporates audio and tactile techniques in a customized way for each person. There is no time limit on past traumas that can be reshaped and reprocessed. The reality of any therapy modality: Healing isn't easy; it's a process. Common beliefs that moms have upon beginning a therapy journey (“I'm not enough, There's something wrong with me, I'm not perfect enough,” etc.) Conditions that can benefit from EMDR (You don't have to have a PTSD diagnosis!) EMDR is safe and helpful for most pregnant patients and can be provided in person and virtually with the same functionality. The benefits of therapy in an EMDR-intensive form Consider EMDR as an adjunct therapy along with traditional talk therapy. Curious about EMDR?

This is the episode that will help you understand the opportunities and functionality of dry needling! Host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS interviews Tyler Niemack, PT, DPT, OCS, Functional Dry Needling Certified Specialist about how dry needling can be used not just to relax tight muscles, but to "reset" the neuromuscular system and improve function. Tyler, who teaches Dry Needling Certification courses for Evidence In Motion explains how PTs approach dry needling differently from acupuncturists, using their orthopedic and neurological assessment skills to decide whether to target spinal segments, peripheral nerves, or specific muscles. Through examples ranging from rotator cuff issues to stroke, spasticity, and Parkinson's disease, he describes using dry needling as not just a treatment tool but also a diagnostic. He also shares his 3 R's approach to treatment: Reset, Reinforce and Reload. They discuss fascia, pain perception, emerging research on how needling changes the brain's pain maps, and ongoing legal barriers in states where PTs still cannot perform dry needling. Tyler encourages clinicians to think of themselves as neuro-orthopedic specialists and to use neuroanatomy and sound clinical reasoning to get the most from this very promising intervention. **Apologies for some tech malfunctions that occurred in the recording. They don't take away from the learning, but wanted to mention there are a couple of glitchy spots. Thank you for understanding!

In this week's episode of FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast, FOX Regional Director John Dominski, PT, DPT, OCS, COMT, joins the conversation to explore the future of healthcare and the evolving role of physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists. John shares why the profession must continue shifting from reactive care to proactive, preventative models—and how PTs can function as primary care providers of functional health. He paints a vision of a system that fully integrates PTAs, COTAs, and fitness specialists to support patients across the lifespan. The discussion unpacks the idea of “flipping the funnel,” emphasizing early intervention over downstream treatment. John also speaks directly to students and clinicians on preparing for this shift, changing long‑held mindsets, and advocating for the value of PT amid ongoing Medicare cuts.
Learn about scoliosis rehab with Lauren Ferrante, PT, DPT, OCS. Explore home exercises, manual therapies, and AT tools for scoliosis. Q: What are the most important home exercises for scoliosis? A: Key home exercises focus on spinal mobility, especially for those who sit frequently. Cat-cows and thoracic rotation are crucial. Depending on comfort level, core activation exercises like supine marches or dead-bug isometrics are beneficial. When supine, tactile cues help maintain spinal symmetry. Bridges or modified side planks are good starting points, with progression as needed. Q: Which scoliosis treatment method is best for high school age, considering the Schroth Method helps the 10-15 age group? A: The Schroth Method can be used for older populations, but it is generally less effective for high school age individuals compared to younger ones. For this age group, focusing on functional core strengthening can also be beneficial. Q: Are Pilates or yoga safe and recommended for young athletes with scoliosis? A: Yes, Pilates and yoga are highly recommended for individuals with scoliosis, including young athletes. These activities promote continued mobility and strength, which are vital for managing scoliosis. The most important aspect is to find an activity they enjoy and consistently engage in it. Q: What manual therapies are effective for scoliosis, and is dry needling helpful? A: Effective manual therapies include thoracic gapping and rib mobilizations, particularly in a side-lying position to encourage rib expansion. The specific therapy depends on the patient’s individual needs and curve patterns. Dry needling is not frequently utilized for scoliosis treatment according to the provided information. Q: How often are lordotic curves seen in individuals with thoracic scoliosis? A: Lordotic curves are quite common in individuals with thoracic scoliosis. If a person has a mid-thoracic curve, their body often adjusts by developing a compensatory lordotic curve. Therefore, this presentation is observed frequently. Q: How do current trends, such as phone and gaming use, contribute to setbacks or overcorrection in scoliosis? A: The impact of phone and gaming trends on scoliosis setbacks depends on individual patient motivation and activity levels. For athletes, it’s often less of an issue, as it’s unrealistic to maintain one position for extended periods. For minimally active individuals, parental encouragement to move around every hour, regardless of the activity, is important. Q: How often are active populations braced for scoliosis? A: Braces for scoliosis are typically prescribed by pediatric orthopedic specialists. For junior high and high school-aged children, as they mature, the need for braces often decreases, and they may not be in them very much. Q: What are the three most important practical tools for Athletic Trainers (ATs) regarding scoliosis? A: The three most important practical tools for Athletic Trainers when addressing scoliosis are observation for signs of scoliosis, implementing exercises on a mat or table, and utilizing a wall for exercises with minimal equipment.

In this week's episode of FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast, FOX Regional Director John Dominski, PT, DPT, OCS, COMT, joins the conversation to explore the future of healthcare and the evolving role of physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists. John shares why the profession must continue shifting from reactive care to proactive, preventative models—and how PTs can function as primary care providers of functional health. He paints a vision of a system that fully integrates PTAs, COTAs, and fitness specialists to support patients across the lifespan. The discussion unpacks the idea of “flipping the funnel,” emphasizing early intervention over downstream treatment. John also speaks directly to students and clinicians on preparing for this shift, changing long‑held mindsets, and advocating for the value of PT amid ongoing Medicare cuts.

Today's guest is Zac Cupples, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, a physical therapist and strength coach known for bridging rehabilitation and performance. He's the founder of ZacCupples.com and is respected for translating complex concepts around respiration and movement mechanics into practical tools coaches and clinicians can immediately apply to improve efficiency, reduce pain, and enhance performance. The bridge between sports performance rehab is an important one. In the midst of movement mechanics that drive good rehab, and high intensity lifting, lies the knowledge that can help athletes make continual gains while staying robust and healthy for their sport. On today's show, Zac explores how an athlete's structure influences movement, strength training, and even injury risk. He shares his track background and how it shaped his coaching, then unpacks concepts like narrow vs. wide “ISA” builds, why some athletes struggle to feel their hamstrings in traditional lifts, and how tools like front loading, box squats, machines, and sprinting can solve it. He also digs into long-duration isometrics, mobility vs. flexibility, and finishes with a fun lightning round. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength.

"It assumes everyone has the same body but no two people are going to perform both of those movements the same way, and it's not going to load the same way." "I start the majority of people with a box squat, because the way I think about a hinge is it's different from a squat because the hips are going to be moving more along that horizontal path." "It's way more useful to think, am I moving up and down? Am I moving side to side? And then just pick exercises within what a person has available." "If someone can't produce certain rotations, and I know that you need those rotations to do this movement, you probably got to find something else to train that pattern within their constraints." "You just have to find the hinge variation that they can execute. And if they don't have much to do that, you have to create constraints." About Zac Cupples Zac Cupples, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS is a physical therapist, strength coach, and educator specializing in human movement, respiration, and performance optimization. He is the founder of ZacCupples.com and has become widely known for translating complex biomechanical and neurophysiological concepts into practical strategies that clinicians and coaches can immediately apply. Zac earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Marquette University and is board certified as an Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. He has completed extensive post-graduate education through the Postural Restoration Institute (PRI) and integrates principles of respiration, pelvic mechanics, thoracic positioning, and neuromuscular control into both rehabilitation and performance training. Through his online courses, seminars, and educational content, Zac has influenced thousands of clinicians and coaches worldwide. His work bridges the gap between rehab and high performance, helping athletes move more efficiently, reduce pain, and unlock higher levels of strength and speed through better positional awareness and strategic breathing. Zac currently treats clients and consults internationally, while continuing to produce educational resources aimed at elevating the standard of movement practice in both clinical and performance settings.

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: No one thought the Seahawks and Patriots would be in the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl does have two defensive coaches, but two very good to great OCs. The press conference is going to be a lot about McCarthy being from Pittsburgh and the idea that Will Howard could be the guy. If McCarthy gives Howard a chance to be the starter, Starkey thinks he will win over Steelers fans.
New HCs, OCs, DCs, why nobody wants Philly, and CG predictions
Do the Steelers have to shoot for an offensive minded guy in this hiring process? The only two guys they have interviewed that fall under that umbrella are Mike McCarthy and Klay Kubiak. It's not as good of a cycle as last year was with offensive brainpower, but there needs to be a plan to build the offense and have an idea at QB. Is there a concern that if the Steelers go with a defensive leader they are left looking for OCs every few seasons?

Is there a concern that if the Steelers go with a defensive leader they are left looking for OCs every few seasons? Would Mike McCarthy be an F-hire? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike said it's not your father's (or grandfather's) Steelers in reaction to Mike McCarthy being among the favorites for the Steelers job. Mike thinks the Steelers should pivot to an offensive guy because of the way the game has changed. Mike doesn't agree with the belief that a McCarthy hire would mean an Aaron Rodgers return to Pittsburgh. Mike brought up an interesting postgame comment made by McCarthy following a playoff loss a few years ago in Dallas. He said there are some attention-to-detail things McCarthy falls short in. Mike thinks Brian Flores would return to Minnesota if he doesn't get a head coaching job. Mike talked about the projection there is when hiring someone like Nate Scheelhaase, who has never been a coordinator before, let alone head coach. Mike still believes Chris Shula makes the most sense for the Steelers. Mike said the Steelers are only competing with the Ravens and the Bills, and those teams could be going in opposite directions at head coach.
My guest today, director Robert Ham, has lived a life of service -- to his country, to art, to his family -- and it moved me deeply to host him for the podcast. We talk about his military service in the Army as a combat cameraman; losing his wife to cancer and making a documentary about her beautiful life, of honoring a 9/11 family with his latest film, ZZASLOW K-427, which is screening in New York City on January 18th, 2026.And if this sounds heavy, that's the duopoly of sometimes difficult service. I can't speak to any other profession like medicine that often walks the line so closely with the fragility of life, but in the military, a positive outlook even in the harshest conditions is the only way you'll make it through, and that spirit is reflected today on the podcast. Welcome to our world. In this episode, Robert and I discuss:the instant rapport of veterans, immaterial of branch and age;how he joined the military as a combat cameraman and the advice he'd giving aspiring filmmakers thinking about joining the military (OCS is officer candidate school; new recruits can attend with a four-year degree);how he became the most decorated combat cameraperson in Army history;graduate school at USC and earning a Tillman Scholarship from the Pat Tillman Foundation;why he started his own production company, HAMMR Productions;the challenge of showing PTSD on screen and what he thinks of veteran-focused films;weighing his own mental health with making realistic films about painful parts of his life;his reflections on MADE WITH MELANIE (2022) and his advice for people embarking on a similar journey;releasing indie films on YouTube;working on different topics than military related films?how INTERPRETERS WANTED (2023) is a great primer for learning more about the U.S. relationship with Afghanistan;why he edits his own projects;the story behind ZZASLOW K-427 (2025), which is screening in NYC on January 18th;the festival strategy for his films;what's next for him.Robert's Indie Film Highlights: WARFARE (2025) dir. by Ray Mendoza; MY DEAD FRIEND ZOE (2024) dir. by Kyle Hausmann-Stokes; HOLLYWOOD GRIT (2025) dir. by Ryan Curtis; SAND CASTLE (2017) dir. by Fernando Coimbra and Chris Roessner; Rebecca Murga; Maximilian Uriarte; Mike DowlingMemorable Quotes:"As going through the unique experience of being in the military and then coming out of the military and now being labeled a veteran, which becomes so much part of our personality...when I meet other veterans, it is that common bond.""I did extra work. I was a Marine in FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS (2006) as an extra.""Same thing with everybody in the military. It's hard. You're asked to do morally complicated things that you have to then live with. And so that's the first thing that I would approach it with is that like, where do you stand?""It feels like the further you get away from the source of anything, the further from the truth you're gonna get, right?""I've always used the camera to almost separate myself from the trauma.""All I could do was film. I don't know, I'm not a doctor, I'm not, I'm like trying to read these crazy things that she's researching and that we're looking together and taking notes when doctors tell us diagnoses and what we're trying to do and what options and medicines and stuff I've never heard of before.""We had the conversation about how we share this with the world and she just basically said, I trust you." "She was a great person. She was a wonderful woman. She deserved a film to be made about her." "It does come back down to my own inability to know how to help a helpless situation.""I have four kids. I'm married, I have a mortgage. So whoever calls up and says, we got a budget, I'm like, okay, let's do this.""I'm very self-critical of my edits and I don't hold onto things very closely. As a director, you shoot something and you're like, oh, this is it. And then the editor has to be like, no, that wasn't it."Links:Follow Robert On InstagramHAMMR ProductionsWatch MADE WITH MELANIE (2022)Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

In this episode, Brian sits down with Steve Rapposelli, PT, OCS—longtime private practice owner, entrepreneur, and CEO of StretchPlex—to challenge one of the most overlooked revenue leaks in physical therapy private practice: what happens after discharge. As the profession looks toward 2026, this conversation reframes discharge as the end of a plan of care—not the end of opportunity. Brian and Steve explore how a cash-based wellness profit center can help PT owners move out of a scarcity mindset, reduce reliance on third-party payers, and create sustainable growth without increasing patient volume. Drawing from Steve's more than 30 years as a clinic owner and his experience building StretchPlex, this episode offers real-world insight into why the future of physical therapy is hybrid—and why wellness services like assisted stretching and recovery belong inside (or alongside) the modern PT practice. About Today's Guest Steve Rapposelli, PT, OCS is a physical therapist and entrepreneur with over three decades of experience in private practice. He is the co-owner of Performance Physical Therapy, where he has practiced since 1992, the CEO of StretchPlex, a cash-based wellness company focused on assisted stretching and recovery, and a co-owner of Performance Executive Coaching, where he helps practice owners rethink profitability, leadership, and long-term sustainability.

Lieutenant Commander (Retired) Drew Sinclair knows a thing or two about both of those, based on his unique and challenging personal journey. From enlisted Rescue Swimmer to OCS to a successful officer career, on the surface it seemed like Drew had it all figured out. But as a high functioning alcoholic, things below the surface weren't so great. After retiring Drew reinvented himself with a focus on a holistic approach to healthier living.Drew Sinclair is a retired U.S. Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer (#700) and Officer who spent more than two decades on the front lines of search and rescue. After overcoming childhood trauma, breaking generational cycles, and walking away from alcohol, Drew completely reinvented his life by rebuilding his identity, deepening his faith, and reshaping his priorities. He now leads a life centered on faith, family, fitness, and freedom.Drew travels full-time across America in an RV with his wife, three kids, two dogs, and a cat, documenting their journey while coaching busy men to reclaim their health through simple, disciplined hybrid training. His grounded, transparent storytelling, from mountain runs to mindset shifts, has inspired countless men to step back into a leadership role in their life and embrace strength and purpose.Drew's message is clear: life does not end at 40. It begins the moment you take ownership, make a decision, and commit to becoming the man you were meant to be. His story is not just about transformation. It is a blueprint for anyone ready to rebuild their life from the inside out.Follow Drew on his Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedrewsinclair/Our Drew (Hammond) mentioned discovering our guest Drew (Sinclair) through a facebook post, you can find that here: https://www.facebook.com/andrew.sinclair.1982/videos/when-i-retired-from-the-coast-guard-i-thought-everything-would-be-easyi-thought-/1296994402252868/We also make a couple references to a podcast episode more focused on his rescues, you can find that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpwY-tCyqu0

Contributor: Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls: What is orbital compartment syndrome, and how is it assessed in the emergency room? Orbital compartment syndrome (OCS) is an emergent ophthalmic condition in which intraorbital pressure in the orbital compartment rises dramatically, compromising perfusion of the optic nerve and retina, leading to risk of irreversible vision loss. OCS occurs in the context of traumatic lesions with retrobulbar hemorrhage. Intraocular pressures (IOP) are measured via tonometry as a surrogate for intraorbital pressures, with emergent pathology being present when IOP exceeds 30-40 mmHg (normal being around 20 mmHg). What might be some physical exam findings beyond increased IOP for orbital compartment syndrome? Proptosis (physical outward protrusion of eye) with resistance to being pushed posterior. Afferent pupillary defect (when the non-impacted eye has light shown into it, the impacted eye will have pupillary constriction, and when light is removed it will begin to dilate, but when light is shown into the impacted eye, it will not constrict and continue to dilate). Generalized complaints of vision loss or an inability to move the eye. What is the treatment for orbital compartment syndrome? Lateral canthotomy must be performed immediately upon clinical suspicion as permanent vision loss can occur within minutes to hours. Lateral canthotomy Step-by Step: Ideally have the patient sedated or highly cooperative. Numb and vasoconstrict the surrounding eye/orbital skin tissue with lidocaine and epinephrine. Take hemostats and clamp the interior and exterior eyelid at the lateral canthus at a 90º angle towards the orbital rim for 30-60 seconds to further devascularize the region. Take iris scissors and cut laterally to the orbital bone/rim to reveal the lateral lanthal tendon. Cut the inferior crus of the lateral lanthal tendon as this will provide the most significant reduction in IOP. Reassess IOP during each step of the procedure to measure procedure efficacy. If no pressure reduction is noted with inferior cantholysis, cutting the superior crus of the lateral canthal tendon may be required to further allow the eye to bulge out and reduce intraorbital pressure. Big takeaways? Ocular compartment syndrome is a rare but emergent vision threatening condition that requires immediate lateral canthotomy to reduce intraocular and intraorbital pressures. Lateral canthotomy done within 30-60 minutes of symptom development can save the patient from permanent vision loss. References: Mohammadi F, Rashan A, Psaltis A, et al.
