In today's episode, we will pick up where we left off last week during my "podcast" presentation of The Mitochondrial Triad lecture I gave last month in Rome. Undoubtedly, you are getting more nuggets of wisdom in this podcast version, as I am able to go down various rabbit holes and dig deeper into the details since there are no time constraints. For example, today's episode that is entirely on the topic of methylene blue is longer in duration than my entire presentation at the symposium in Rome. Last week, I covered the first two topics of my talk: mitochondria (i.e., why they are important for health and why mitochondrial dysfunction is the bane of wellness and healthspan) and red light therapy. This week, again, we will cover the topic of methylene blue (MB) in great depth; including the history of MB, the mechanisms of MB, the health benefits and correlative research on MB, and considerations surrounding MB for those deliberating the potential use of MB for their health and wellness goals. ​​With that being said, make sure your brain is full of flowing electrons and buckle up for an information-packed episode!

In today's episode, we dive deep into the often-overlooked yet profound role that water plays in our overall health and healing. Drawing from the teachings of Don Javier, we explore how water extends beyond physical necessity. It's a powerful element that carries memory. Water can be influenced by the way we engage with it - through our attitude, gratitude, and intention - which can directly affect its ability to nourish and heal our bodies.  A key point in Part 3 of this series is the effect of cold water on the body. Drinking cold water can cause crystallization in the blood, which Don Javier teaches may reduce our longevity by disrupting the natural flow of energy within the body. On the other hand, room-temperature water is gentler and works in harmony with our bodies, supporting a balance that enhances our well-being.  We also explore ancient practices like blessing water - a simple yet powerful way to tap into water's healing frequency by infusing it with gratitude and intention. This practice allows us to access water as a source of healing and deepen our connection to its vital role in health. Additionally, we look at time-honored methods such as drinking from copper water bottles and oxygenating water, along with external supplements like herbs, as practical ways to amplify the benefits of what we consume.  What You'll Discover in This Episode:  The Power of Declarations (02:27): Your attitude and thoughts shape your healing journey.  Water's Memory and Healing Potential (06:32): Water holds memory and why blessing water enhances its healing properties.  The Dangers of Drinking Cold Water (10:12): Cold water can cause crystallization in the blood and reduce longevity.  Copper Water Bottles and Oxygenation (15:45): Using a copper water bottle and oxygenating water can boost health.  Healing from Source (22:14): True healing comes from your consciousness and attitude. External treatments and supplements should support, not replace, your inner healing efforts.  Transformational Takeaway  Healing is not just about physical remedies - it's about the power of your consciousness and where you focus your energy. By engaging with water mindfully, blessing it, and maintaining a positive attitude, you activate its ability to support your health. True healing comes from within, guided by your thoughts and declarations, while external treatments and supplements should only serve to enhance the internal healing you cultivate through awareness and intention.    Let's Connect:  The Jim Fortin Podcast Website  Instagram  Facebook  YouTube

Laura & Nicole discuss ECMO!

Join Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Hugh Ross as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, including the reality of God's existence. A New Organelle? A team of life scientists has claimed to discover a new organelle (called a nitroplast) that fixes nitrogen. It looks like this organelle evolved from an endosymbiont that assumed permanent residence in a eukaryotic cell. If so, this discovery provides support for the endosymbiont hypothesis, challenging the notion that a Creator is responsible for life's origin and design. In this episode, biochemist Fuz Rana describes this work and its significance to life's history, and offers a critical assessment of the study's conclusion. Atmospheric Oxygenation An international team of 17 scientists has proposed that a dramatic weakening of Earth's magnetic field caused an oxygen level jump 575 million years ago. They showed that a much weaker magnetic field would cause solar particles to split apart water molecules in Earth's atmosphere into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen would escape to interplanetary space, leaving the oxygen to accumulate in Earth's atmosphere. They demonstrated that that the magnetic field decline is sufficient to explain most of the rapid oxygen rise (from 2% to 8%) that occurred at the time of the Avalon explosion, which marked the first appearance of macroscopic animals. In this episode, Hugh Ross explains that the transition of Earth's core from being 100% liquid to where a solid inner core begins to form would explain the dramatic weakening of Earth's magnetic field—and the minimum oxygen level needed for complex life—that occurred 0.6 million years ago.      Links & Resources:  Nitrogen-Fixing Organelle in a Marine Alga Mitochondrial Protein Import Advances the Case for Creation Near-Collapse of the Geomagnetic Field May Have Contributed to Atmospheric Oxygenation and Animal Radiation in the Ediacaran Period Designed to the Core, 183–197

Oxygen is activated quantum-mechanically in the body to act against bacterial infections. Professor Robert C Allen shows that the antibacterial action of oxygen can be monitored by measuring the light emitted as the immune system responds to pathogen attacks. He has developed techniques based on the use of chemiluminigenicmolecules which provide unprecedented insight into the neutrophil activity and afford powerful point of care diagnostic tools for immune system monitoring.

The key to understanding oxygen activation is the conversion of this molecule into a reactive singlet species within neutrophil cells in the blood. This process leads to light emission, which can be used to monitor in real time how the immune system functions.Based on over 40 years of research, Professor Robert C Allen proposes an exquisitely detailed model of how oxygen becomes an aggressive bactericidal agent in the body.

VA-ECMO outcome scores have been previously developed and used extensively for risk adjustment, patient prognostication, and quality control across time and centres. The limitation of such scores is the derivation by using traditional statistical methods which are not capable of covering the complexity of ECMO outcomes. The Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Member Centres have developed a study where they aimed to leverage a large international patient cohort to develop and validate an AI-driven tool for predicting in-hospital mortality of VA-ECMO. The tool was derived entirely from pre-ECMO variables, allowing for mortality prediction immediately after ECMO initiation.To learn more about this study listen to the podcast.

Contributor: Aaron Lessen MD Educational Pearls: What is measured in an ABG/VBG? Blood values for oxygen tension (pO2), carbon dioxide tension (pCO2), acidity (pH), oxyhemoglobin saturation, and bicarbonate (HCO3) in either arterial or venous blood Other tests can measure methemoglobin, carboxyhemoglobin, hemoglobin levels, base excess, and lactate What are they used for? Identification of ventilation/acid-base disturbances. For example: if a patient is in septic shock, oxyhemoglobin saturation can be used to guide resuscitation efforts (early goal- directed therapy) What's the difference between an ABG and VBG? One of the main differences is how the blood samples are collected. Venous blood gas is normally collected from existing venous access such as a central venous catheter. Arterial blood gases must be drawn from an artery, such as the radial artery. Arterial blood draws can be difficult, painful, and contraindicated in many situations. ABGs have traditionally provided more accurate measurements for assessing oxygenation, ventilation, and acid-base status. However, several studies have found that VBGs can still be used to accurately assess pH, pCO2, HCO3, lactate, sodium, potassium, chloride, ionized calcium, blood urea nitrogen, base excess, and arterial/alveolar oxygen ratio. This is supported by a recent study in 2023 in the International Journal of Emergency Medicine which specifically studied patients with hypotension and use of VBGs for resuscitation guidance.  Are there other non-invasive methods that can be used to fill in the gaps to avoid ordering an ABG? Oxygenation can be measured by pulse oximetry Arterial carbon dioxide tension can be estimated by end-tidal carbon dioxide (PetCO2) Mixed venous blood gases are another alternative for patients who already have a pulmonary artery catheter References Rivers E, Nguyen B, Havstad S, Ressler J, Muzzin A, Knoblich B, Peterson E, Tomlanovich M; Early Goal-Directed Therapy Collaborative Group.

Dr. Christine also shares some tools and practices, such as ozone and meditation, that can help create a more oxygen-rich environment within the body.    Listen in to learn more about today's conversation on healthy blood flow and how to optimize it for yourself: (0:00:02) - Factors that affect healthy blood flow (0:14:46) - The importance of being educated about the markers of blood flow (0:10:40) - Benefits of meditation on your health   To get the full show notes - www.drchristineschaffner.com/Episode184    

How do we know what the Earth was like billions of years ago? And where did all the oxygen come from? Spoiler alert: it's microbes! This week I speak with Dr. John Encarnacion about the Great Oxygenation Event (GOE) that changed our planet forever and is the reason we breathe today. We talk about the detective work of geologists and the evidence found in rocks that teaches us about ancient biological and geological processes!Dr. John Encarnacion, PhD is a professor at Saint Louis University where he studies plate tectonics and hard rock geology. You can learn more about his work on his website and read his publications on Google Scholar. He is also an amazing science communicator and you can follow his fun geology page on Instagram: @a_geologist.For more info on microbes and to follow updates of this podcast, find @couch_microscopy on Instagram, @CouchMicroscopy on Twitter, or visit www.couchmicroscopy.com/store for merch!Music is "Introducing Cosmic Space" by Elf Power and "Vorticella Dreams" by L.

In this episode, we discuss the utility of veno-arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) for the temporary management of biventricular failure and cardiogenic shock requiring full cardiopulmonary support. Here, we define the types of ECMO and describe the unique physiology of this mechanical circulatory support platform, as well as review the potential complications and management strategies. Most notably, we highlight indications for and contraindications to the use of VA-ECMO and review the importance of patient selection.  Lastly, we discuss de-escalation and de-cannulation strategies for patients on VA-ECMO as a bridge to recovery. Join Dr. Amit Goyal (CardioNerds Cofounder and FIT at Cleveland Clinic), Dr. Yoav Karpenshif (Series Co-chair and FIT at University of Pennsylvania), and Dr. Megan Burke (Episode FIT Lead and FIT at University of Pennsylvania) as they learn about how to care for some of our sickest patients from Dr. Ann Gage, interventional and critical care cardiologist at Centennial Heart. At the beginning of the episode, enjoy a message from the very first CardioNerds Scholar, Dr. Katie Vaughan (Chief Resident and soon Cardiology Fellow at BIDMC). Episode notes were developed by Dr. Megan Burke. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy Intern, Hirsh Elhence. The CardioNerds Cardiac Critical Care Series is a multi-institutional collaboration made possible by contributions of stellar fellow leads and expert faculty from several programs, led by series co-chairs, Dr. Mark Belkin, Dr. Eunice Dugan, Dr. Karan Desai, and Dr. Yoav Karpenshif.

Pearls and Quotes - Biventricular Failure and the Use of VA-ECMO Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a form of temporary mechanical circulatory support that can do the work of both the heart and lungs. The ECMO circuit is a narcissist, i.e. cannulas are named in reference to the circuit and not the patient (“inflow” vs “outflow”). The decision to utilize ECMO should be made by a multidisciplinary shock team and patient selection is KEY! ECMO physiology rule #1: VA-ECMO increases LV afterload Patients on VA-ECMO should be monitored with a PA catheter and an arterial line in the right arm Show notes - Biventricular Failure and the Use of VA-ECMO Notes drafted by Dr. Megan Burke. 1. What is ECMO and what are the different types? Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a temporary form of mechanical life support that comes in two flavors: veno-arterial, or “VA” and veno-venous, or “VV.”  VV-ECMO supports extracorporeal gas exchange in the setting of acute respiratory failure VA-ECMO provides full circulatory support in addition to gas exchange, doing the work of both the heart and lungs.  2. What are the components and “anatomy” of the VA-ECMO circuit? The circuit is made up of the following major components: Venous (inflow) cannula Centrifugal Pump Oxygenator (also responsible for CO2 removal) Arterial (outflow) cannula The cannulas are named in reference to the ECMO circuit, not the patient. Dr. Gage suggests that we think of the ECMO circuit (and mechanical circulatory support in general) as narcissistic, i.e. flow is always in reference to the device. Gas exchange happens in the oxygenator. In the oxygenator blood flows through thin filaments that allow for diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Gas flows in the opposite direction of blood flow to maximize diffusion through the countercurrent effect. Oxygenation is determined by rate of blood flow through the oxygenator and FiO2 delivered. Carbon dioxide removal is determined by rate of countercurrent gas flow,

Jenny is assessing an immobilized patient with a sacral pressure wound. During the assessment, the therapist examines the change in wound and surrounding skin attributes, reduction in wound depth, change in exudate characteristics, and wound closure. These performance indicators are all associated with which of the following outcomes? A. Progression through the phases of wound healing B. Oxygenation or perfusion of tissue C. Reduced or controlled edema D. Infection control LINKS MENTIONED: Did you get this question wrong?!

A-a gradient, a/A ratio, and P: F ratio - are all different views of the same item. These formulas do not have a complete view of oxygenation. Oxygenation is a huge topic, and there are more common values that we use: How well is the patient saturating? Is there dyspnea? How do the lungs sound (auscultation) or look (POCUS)? Where is the patient on the OHCD? What does the ABG show?
