Summary Dr. David Rosenblum delivered a comprehensive lecture on gender differences in opiate effects and prescribing practices. He discussed several key studies examining how opiates affect males and females differently, both in animal models and humans. Dr. Rosenblum shared findings showing that morphine has stronger analgesic effects in males, while females experience longer-lasting effects. He also addressed racial disparities in opiate prescribing, noting that white patients are more likely to receive opiates. From his personal clinical experience in Brooklyn, Dr. Rosenblum observed that certain populations tend to be at higher risk for opiate abuse. The lecture covered gender-specific risk factors for opiate misuse, with women tending toward emotional/psychological factors and men showing more behavioral issues.

Chapters Introduction and Upcoming Conferences Dr. Rosenblum introduced himself as the host of the Pain Exam Podcast and announced several upcoming conferences including ASPN in July, PainWeek in September, and other events where he will be teaching ultrasound and regenerative medicine. Board Preparation and Opiate Topics Dr. Rosenblum discussed his role in board preparation through painxam.com and nreppain.org. He emphasized that opiates are a frequently tested topic across different board examinations (FIP, ABPM, ABIP, ABA). Gender Differences in Opiate Effects - Animal Studies Dr. Rosenblum presented research showing that in animal studies, morphine exhibited stronger analgesic effects in males, while females showed longer-lasting effects and could tolerate higher doses. He noted that physical dependence was more severe in male rats during spontaneous withdrawal. Racial and Gender Disparities in Opiate Prescribing Dr. Rosenblum discussed a 2025 study revealing racial disparities in opiate prescribing, with white patients more likely to receive opiates. He shared his personal clinical experience in Brooklyn, noting that young white males were often higher-risk for abuse. Gender-Specific Risk Factors for Opiate Misuse Dr. Rosenblum detailed how women tend to show emotional and psychological risk factors for opiate misuse, while men demonstrate more behavioral risk factors. Women were more likely to report distress and past trauma, while men showed higher rates of criminal behavior and substance abuse history.   References Djurendic-Brenesel, Maja, et al.

Some ambulance crews may not have the best understanding of how a fire crew is going to run a call, with everyone assigned specific roles – often the fire department will be allowing a new crew member to lead the callI always struggled with arriving first on scene on the ambulance because that role is more work and more pressure What does fire like from the ambulance crews when they arrive first?First on scene should be allowed to lead the call and ask for help where needed, second on scene should not be pushing their way in and trying to take over the callSometimes the providers that take over lack experience or are not yet comfortable enough with their own skills to allow someone else to leadIf you have another provider on scene constantly trying to interrupt, give them something to do - often this applies to a disruptive family memberDoes the ambulance paramedic have to attend in the back if the fire paramedic rides in?As a previous ambulance paramedic, I viewed the ambulance as my space, meaning I always appreciated it when the fire paramedic had the respect to treat it as such, asking to ride into the hospital as opposed to telling me they were riding in. As a general rule, if the fire paramedic believes they need to ride in due to acuity, the ambulance paramedic should also attendKash, as a medical director, gives his opinion on this situationI really appreciated it when the fire crews respected our ambulance because the front is truly our officeEMT's can ride in too on low acuity where more hands, not ALS treatment, is neededI've talked before that a paradigm shift is needed for the paramedics at times, where they are more likely to have to attend more calls then their EMT partners -  easy for me to say from outside the field now – but transporting the patient is almost always the safest, lowest liability option, we shouldn't be trying to get out of transports just because it's less workAlways treat the patient like they are a family memberWe are looking for proof that the patient is not sick, as opposed to assuming they are not sick from the outset, our approach is different in emergency medicineWe have, historically, reversed hypoglycemia or opiate OD, and the patient has refused when maybe transport to the hospital is warranted despite the fact that we have temporarily fixed a major problemSupport the showFull show notes can be found here: Episodes - Practical EMS - Content for EMTs, PAs, ParamedicsMost efficient online EKG course here: Practical EKG Interpretation - Practical EMS earn 4 CME and learn the fundamentals through advanced EKG interpretation in under 4 hours.

Increased prescription of opioid medications like oxycodone and hydrocodone has led to widespread misuse of both prescription and non-prescription opioids. But did you know that opioid misuse can significantly impact the endocrine system? The Endocrine Society recently published a scientific statement titled, “Exogenous Opioids and the Human Endocrine System: An Endocrine Society Scientific Statement.” The statement reviews data on the use and misuse of opioids and discusses recent research on the endocrine-related implications of opioid use. Host Aaron Lohr talks to one of the statement’s authors, Niki Karavitaki, MD, PhD, a professor from the Institute of Metabolism and Systems Research at the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom.

John Zmirak Discusses His Latest Articles- ‘Anti-Racism:' The Opiate of the Sheeple The Eric Metaxas Show John Zmirak  Jan 11 2025   Other Episodes Big Bad John joins us to discuss the his recent article on the topic of January 6th   ‘Anti-Racism:' The Opiate of the Sheeple By John Zmirak Published on January 6, 2025 John Zmirak I've written here before about how antiracism has mutated from a small, healthy organ that served the Body of Christ into a monstrous tumor that threatens to kill it. I've analyzed White Guilt as a self-serving status game that white would-be elitists play to outrank other white people — with zero actual regard for the dignity or lives of non-white people, much less for their immortal souls. Now I must reluctantly return to this grim subject as the cascading scandal of Pakistani rape gangs in Britain gets exposed in lurid, soul-crushing detail. Elon Musk and former British Prime Minister Liz Truss have now weighed in on this, so the British establishment knows it can't imprison everyone who complains about the estimated 250,000 native British girls who've been gang-raped and trafficked in just 10 years, disproportionately by Pakistani immigrants. “Your Daughters Are Already Whores” What drove these Muslim imports to think they were entitled to sexually enslave Christians, apart from the long Muslim tradition of sexually enslaving Christians? (By the millions, via the Muslim white slave trade that continued for centuries.) This X post explains the phenomenon in light of Pakistan's inbred, intensely patriarchal culture: These hundreds of thousands of rapes — many inflicted on minors — were committed with total impunity, with local police and Labour politicians winking at the abuse, rejecting the pleas of victims and even in some cases arresting the hapless parents who tried to rescue their daughters. How and why could this happen? It was supposedly to prevent the rise of racism and avoid helping right-wing politicians who warned — correctly — that mass Third World Muslim immigration was ruining Britain. As a Catholic, hearing that brings back nauseating memories of bishops shuffling pedophile priests from parish to parish instead of calling in the police — supposedly to avoid the danger of “scandal” harming the Church and losing souls. Of course, these leftist politicians in Britain were serving their own religious cause: the post-Civil Rights movement cult of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. That infernal trinity, a three-headed golden calf, is now the idol worshiped by elites throughout the West. Those who refuse to prostrate themselves before this fetish face all the force of a secular inquisition. Britons are now sitting in prison cells for mildly complaining about immigration policy — cells which, not coincidentally, have been emptied of rapists and other assailants to make room for political dissidents. Should We Tell “Noble” Lies? This is happening right now in Britain — the nation that gave us the Magna Carta, parliaments, Common Law, and trial by jury. I was sickened even further when one of my favorite living writers, historian Tom Holland, doubled down on his comment from 10 years ago (before his conversion to Christianity): How noble is a goal that rests on secrecy and lies? Was it noble for Catholic bishops to protect the good name of the priesthood at the price of altar boys who were molested and damaged for life? Why is it any more noble than that to save the good name of deeply dysfunctional foreign communities that are infamous for child marriages and “honor killings”? If Pakistani culture really does accept such practices, it richly deserves contempt — and mass deportations to follow. The bishops who covered up for pedophile priests have been mostly disgraced for it now. They paid out some $3 billion in damages in the U.S. alone (though they made all that money back, dollar for dollar, trafficking immigrants via their taxpayer-funded nonprofits such as Catholic Charities). Will the vast, almost unthinkable scale of child rape in Britain discredit its authoritarian, censorship-happy Labour government and the mute, useless Tory party that only expanded immigration, as if to punish its voters? If We Don't Fight, the Pagans Will It's hard to say. You can't beat something with nothing, and antiracism remains the established church of most of the West. Maybe like the Aztec cult it can go on demanding human sacrifices for centuries because there is no live alternative. Christian churches that have dethroned Jesus Christ and replaced Him with canonized victims such as George Floyd won't fill the void. They're not even really Christian, except as cargo cults that use the borrowed imagery and symbols of a religion they've become at once too primitive and decadent to understand. If the Church won't provide an alternative to civilizational suicide, enraged neopagans will. Instead of shaping fetishes out of non-whites, they'll make whiteness an idol. The result will be ugly and violent, and the pasty-faced churchmen who willingly lived by lies will watch it all helplessly from their fainting couches, without even the decency to despise themselves for causing it. Please Support The Stream: Equipping Christians to Think Clearly About the Political, Economic, and Moral Issues of Our Day. Tom Holland, of all people, should know better. His brilliant book Dominion showed how Western notions of equality, fairness, and tolerance all emerged from the Gospel, not Greece or Rome. He even acknowledged that the woke movement was Christianity's illegitimate child. But he's too comfortably ensconced in British intellectual circles to recognize that this post-Christian bastard is trying to murder its father. And, frankly, he lives in a nice, safe neighborhood where no Pakistani gangs are likely to abduct and gang rape his children. Perhaps every British academic and politician should be forcibly relocated to more “diverse” parts of the country. Let's see how long it takes them to start sending checks to Tommy Robinson. Rene Girard, in his books such as I See Satan Fall Like Lightning, warned that the post-Christian substitute religion of Victimism is actually crueler, more perverse, and more opposed to the Gospel than any ancient pagan religion. It's also so frankly absurd and suicidal that it will burn out and destroy itself. But how many real victims, including young women with scars and trauma, will it claim before it collapses?   John Zmirak is a senior editor at The Stream and author or coauthor of 14 books, including The Politically Incorrect Guide to Immigration and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Catholicism.

He is co-author with Jason Jones of “God, Guns, & the Government.”   John Zmirak's new book: No Second Amendment, No First  by John Zmirak  Available March 19, 2024 Today's Left endlessly preaches the evils of “gun violence." It is a message increasingly echoed from the nation's pulpits, presented as common-sense decency and virtue. Calls for “radical non-violence” are routinely endowed with the imprimatur of religious doctrine.   But what if such teachings were misguided, even damaging? What if the potential of a citizenry to exercise force against violent criminals and tyrannical governments is not just compatible with church teaching, but flows from the very heart of Biblical faith and reason? What if the freedoms we treasure are intimately tied to the power to resist violent coercion?  This is the long-overdue case John Zmirak makes with stunning clarity and conviction in No Second Amendment, No First. A Yale-educated journalist and former college professor, Zmirak shows how the right of self-defense against authoritarian government was affirmed in both the Old and New Testaments, is implied in Natural Law, and has been part of Church tradition over the centuries.   Zmirak further shows how today's mounting threats to the gun rights guaranteed by the Second Amendment are inexorably linked to the   HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD!  Please go to Apple Podcasts and give ACU a 5 star rating.

Y'all are going to LOVE today's episode. I spoke with Somatic Sobriety Coach, Elan Hardy. Before she was ten years old, Elan had smoked weed and taken mushroom, which was common in the culture in which she was raised - traveling with the Grateful Dead as a child and teenager. Her early drug use escalated into opiate addiction as an adult. After getting sober, Elan discovered somatic therapy is a form of body-centered therapy that looks at the connection of mind and body and uses both psychotherapy and physical therapies for holistic healing. In addition to talk therapy, somatic therapy practitioners use mind-body exercises and other physical techniques to help release the pent-up tension that negatively affects a patient's physical and emotional wellbeing. Elan is certified in Somatic work and is also an addict in recovery. Combining her training and lived experience, Elan specializes in somatic and sobriety coaching. Elan is also offering all of you a free resource, simply DM her and she will send you free somatic exercises designed specifically for those in recovery.

This is episode 200 - we have reached the double century milestone on our winding journey through the past. When I began the series in 2021 after some years of planning, I had no idea what would happen. Diving into the shark tank that is history podcasting took a great deal of forethought. One person's history is another persons' propaganda after all, social engineers rewrite the past to suit their own agenda's and this series has been based on our people's stories first. Endeavouring to let the folks of the south talk for themselves, which of course, can threaten folks' world view about their origins, or their personal narrative. It is rife with risk. So it's with some relief to report that the response has been overwhelmingly positive. This series is now the third most shared podcast in South Africa — a stunning revelation given that I am doing this solo. There is no marketing team, no financier, no patron, just me and you the listener. Thanks to Francois at iono.fm for the growth in advertising, nothing for mahala I guess. Speaking of filthy lucre, I have a PayPal account for donations which can be found on desmondlatham.blog. The funds go towards the series audio hosting fees. The third video episode is about to land on YouTube, so things are happening. With that craven bit of begging, let us continue for we are going to spend this episode meeting Cape Governor, Sir George Grey. He is probably the most influential Englishman in both New Zealand and South Africa's history, playing a key role in the annexation of Maori land, he spent time as a Governor of Australia. Very much an administrator of his time, he believed in educating the masses, and put his money where his mouth was, founding Grey's College in Bloemfontein in 1855, then Grey's High School in Gbeberha a year later. In between, all manner of shenanigans were recorded. But wait. As we hear about Sir George, I'll introduce his amaxhosa alter ego, Manhlakaza, aka Wilhelm Goliath, who was the first amaXhosa Anglican in South Africa. Manhlakaza's relationship with the Archdeacon of Grahamstown, Nathanial James Merriman, was going to change the whole course of South Africa's history. Don't take my word for it, this is the view of many who know much more than me about these things, particularly the fantastic historian Jeff Peires. Here were two people, opposites. Grey and Goliath. Their tale is tantamount to the gears of history turning like a great, soot-streaked clockwork, steam-punk cogs groaning under the weight of human ambition and magical ether, while the past, a fog of coal-smoke and brass, hisses and sputters, propelling the unwieldy engine unsteadily into the unknown. The allegorical story this episode contains metaphors and illustrations of an era. Grey believed white and black people were essentially the same, it was only culture and backward rituals that separated the races. Grey wrote regularly about how aborigines and later amaXhosa “…are as apt and intelligent as any other race of men I am acquainted with…” “They are subject to the same affections, appetites and passions as other men…” Simply put, he thought that the Aborigines, the Maoris, the First People's of Canada, the Khoekhoe, the Nguni and Tswana speaking south Africans, all wanted to become Englishmen but couldn't because they were trapped by the barbarous customs and rituals enforced by their older generation. At the same time, the colonial in him believed that no Aborigine, or Maori or African culture, was worth the grand heights of English culture. Still, that didn't stop him personally conducting a major contribution study of the Maori language and folklore. That study is regarded one of the most important research into early Maori ways — a contradiction considering that he didn't hold the Maori ways in high regard. What a strange character.

Have an episode suggestion? Text us!In this episode, we share our personal journey through Matt's recent surgery and the challenges of managing pain with opioids - his past drug of choice. This was scary, new territory for us and it's a slippery slope given the history of addiction. We discuss the emotional complexities surrounding the surgery recovery, how we planned in advance and discussed the decision to treat the pain with a dangerous substance, the accountability built into the situation, the importance of open communication, and how we navigated the fears and realities of pain management together. Opiates in an emergency setting are tricky in recovery, and we believe this conversation will be helpful and insightful for couples and individuals that are navigating difficult emotions around pain treatment in sobriety as well as those that have faced a relapse. This candid conversation highlights the significance of trust, accountability, and the growth that can come from facing difficult situations as a couple. We navigated this one successfully and we're both incredibly proud of how we faced it and we think you'll gain quite a bit from this one too if you find yourself having to go down this road.Find video clips and full length video from this episode on YouTube and our other social media pages!On the web:www.twfo.comOnline Course: www.independentlystrong.comUse code WHEELIES75 for 75% off the entire course!Soberlink Device:www.soberlink.com/wheelsFollow us on TikTok:https://tiktok.com/@twfo_coupleFollow us on Instagram:https://instagram.com/twfo_couple/Follow us on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TWFOCoupleFollow us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@twfo_coupleFind Taylor Counseling Group:https://taylorcounselinggroup.com/Donate to Counseling for the Future Foundation:Donate Here

In recovery from a decade-long opioid addiction, Hampton is regarded as a forefront expert and thought leader in America's rising addiction recovery advocacy & drug policy reform movements. An alumnus of the Clinton White House, he's worked with multiple non-profits and addiction recovery organizing campaigns. He's now a prominent, leading face and voice of recovery advocacy and is working to change the longstanding negative narratives about those impacted by addiction, recovery, and overdose. Through his books and media, organizing campaigns, and social content that reaches millions, Ryan breaks down cultural barriers that have kept people suffering in silence and is helping to inspire a new generation of advocates recovering out loud, pushing for common-sense policy. He was part of the core team that released the first-ever U.S. Surgeon General's report on alcohol, drugs, and health in 2016 and was singled out by Forbes the following year as a top social entrepreneur in the recovery movement. Ryan connects a vast network of people passionate about ending the overdose crisis in America. He has been featured by—and is a contributor to—media outlets such as the Today Show, the Associated Press, USA Today, MSNBC, ABC News, Fox and Friends, the New York Times, NPR, HLN, Vice, Slate, The Hill, the Wall Street Journal, and others. Ryan has received praise from Democrats and Republicans alike for addressing addiction as a trans-political issue—crossing the political spectrum to build an inclusive coalition focused on solutions. He works closely with the White House, Senate Democrats, Republicans, U.S. House leadership, and state legislatures across the country. Notably, he helped craft binding provisions addressing substance use disorder in the historic SUPPORT for Patients and Communities Act, signed into federal law in October 2018. In 2016, he created the web series Addiction Across America, documenting his 30-day, 28-state, 8,000-mile cross-country trip visiting areas hit hardest by the addiction crisis. His first bestselling book, “American Fix — Inside the Opioid Addiction Crisis and How to End It,” was released by St. Martin's Press in August 2018. His second book, “Unsettled: How the Purdue Pharma Bankruptcy Failed the Victims of the American Overdose Crisis,” was released in September 2021 and chronicled his behind-the-scenes efforts representing tens of thousands of victims in the Purdue Pharma opioid settlement litigation. Ryan is currently working on his third book, scheduled to be released in 2024. In 2019, Ryan was named by Facebook as an inaugural community leadership fellow and created the national advocacy initiative, Mobilize Recovery. Since its inception, Mobilize Recovery has recruited and trained over 8,000 new advocates from all 50 states focused on community-based solutions to end the addiction and overdose crisis. In 2022, Mobilize Recovery traveled to 25 states, hosting 35 organizing and advocacy training events throughout September and October, distributing 10,000 doses of free naloxone and over 11,000 fentanyl test strips. Through the Overdose Response Initiative, a not-for-profit coalition Ryan helped to form in 2019, over 625,000 free doses of naloxone have been distributed in 21 states as of December 2022. The alliance comprises nearly 40 organizational stakeholders nationally, including Direct Relief International, the Clinton Foundation, and Mobilize Recovery.

This is a story about active drug addiction.  Last year I made a story about my private investigator friend Susan Randall, after her office was robbed in the middle of the day in downtown Burlington by a woman with a heroin addiction. She walked into Susan's office while people were working there and loaded a bag with electronics, and left.  I couldn't stop thinking about the woman. Where was she coming from that day and where was she going? The world of active addiction is a kind of world underneath the world, with its own rules and relentless demands. But to most people it's invisible.  All four of the people in this story are in recovery, but they spent years in the world of active drug addiction. They're aware of it in ways that most of us are not, and they agreed to describe it to me—what it feels like day to day, and its endless demands.Warning: This story contains explicit descriptions of active addiction. It might not be for everyone.

Jessica Searle spent all of her early years dealing with dysfunctional parents. Drugs, alcohol and even abuse were part of her young life. She left home at 13 living in the Mission district of San Francisco where she was jumped into a gang. Finally finding herself in Utah, any hope of change vanished as she continued down the path of drugs, and bad relationships. She lived that way for 25 years until she was finally done. Enrolling in The Other Side Academy changed her life. Now she is articulate, authentic, and purposeful. She is not the person she spent 38 years becoming. She has a light in her eyes and hope in her heart. Her story is one of triumph over insurmountable odds.

History does have a way of repeating itself--at least in broad strokes. In this episode we'll discuss the first opiate crisis the U.S. ever suffered and do a bit of comparison to modern times. From opium, to morphine, to heroin, these substances have been a part of civilization for much longer than most realize.If you or someone you know may be struggling with opiates or other addictive substances, SAMHSA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) has a confidential 24/7, 365 hotline to call to start finding help: 1–800–662–HELP (4357)-------Sources:Thomas DeQuincyhttps://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/17/the-man-who-invented-the-drug-memoirhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_De_QuinceyConfessions of an English Opium Eater Bookhttps://www.sas.upenn.edu/~cavitch/pdf-library/DeQuincey_Confessions_and_Suspiria_1850.pdfSuccessful Treatment of Opium Eaters.

In this episode, Liz Rohr interviews Shelby Pope, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, they discuss the stigma around addiction, the importance of supporting patients with opiate use disorder while exploring Shelby's journey into addiction medicine and impacts of this field. This episode includes discussion of various treatment options for opiate use disorder, including naltrexone and buprenorphine, including the importance of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder, while emphasizing the effectiveness of methadone and buprenorphine in reducing the risk of overdose and mortality. Liz and Shelby explore the process of induction and the importance of assessing withdrawal symptoms, ongoing monitoring and support for patients on MAT, including addressing cravings and harm reduction strategies. Key takeaways: Exploring the stigma around addiction, and the importance of supporting patients with opiate use disorder.Addiction medicine is a beautiful and impactful field that can be accessible in primary care.Naltrexone and buprenorphine are two treatment options for opiate use disorder.Open conversations with patients and providing support and resources are crucial in primary care.Methadone may be necessary for some patients with extreme cases of opiate use disorder. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with methadone and buprenorphine is highly effective in reducing the risk of overdose and mortality in individuals with opioid use disorder.Assessing withdrawal symptoms is crucial before starting buprenorphine to avoid precipitated withdrawal.Ongoing monitoring and support are essential for patients on MAT, including addressing cravings and providing harm reduction strategies.Tapering off medication should be done slowly and on an individualized basis, considering the patient's stability and goals.Individualized care and empathetic communication are key in building trust and supporting patients on their recovery journey.For a full transcript and conversation chapters, visit the blog: https://realworldnp.com/blog/opiate-use-disorder. ______________________________© 2024 Real World NP.

Nico Morales grew up middle class. Parents did their best. He's an athlete turned addict turned author. Giving up alcohol and drugs was not an achievement, but because that was the position he was in he uses it as a foundation to teach others that we are all limitless. Learning to overcome limiting beliefs and breaking through mental barriers is what he's after. Seeing obstacles as opportunities is Nico's strength.Nico w/ No Halo (@nohalonm) • Instagram
