Hello and welcome to a special bonus episode of YXE Underground. I'm your host, Eric Anderson. Happy New Year to all of you and I hope you had a wonderful holiday season.I am really excited to begin 2024 with a bonus episode featuring a really kind and passionate person in our community. Her name is Lecina Hicke and she is the CEO of the St. Paul's Hospital Foundation.The reason I reached out to Lecina is I wanted to do an episode focusing on the Hospice at Glengarda. As you will hear in our conversation, Lecina has a very strong connection to the Hospice and worked extremely hard for years to ensure its construction and its mission of providing compassionate and meaningful End-of-Life care would be successful.The Hospice at Glengarda is a 15-bed Hospice located on Hilliard Street East and Melrose Avenue in Saskatoon's Exhibition neighbourhood. My wife and I used to live on Ash Street and would walk by the construction three times day because our dog Fred loved his walks, and it was really something to see this beautiful building going up in a quiet, old neighbourhood in the city.The Hospice is governed by Emmanual Health, owned by St. Paul's Hospital and was Saskatchewan's first stand-alone hospice.I feel very lucky to have spent an afternoon with Lecina in her office at St. Paul's Hospital learning about the work that went into fundraising for the Hospice, why educating the general public was so important, and the impact a gentleman named Gord Engel had on her and the Close to Home fundraising campaign.Now, the plan is to do an episode where we take you inside the Hospice at Glengarda and speak with staff about the work they are doing. We are just working on finding a time that works for everyone. Hopefully that episode will come out in the next few weeks, but I really think knowing the background behind the creation will of the Hospice will make you appreciate the work it is doing for patients and families in Saskatoon even more.Thank you so much for listening to this bonus episode and don't forget to share it and leave a 5-star review if you like what you hear!Cheers...Eric Host, Producer, Editor: Eric AndersonTheme Music: Andrew DicksonWebsite: https://www.yxeunderground.com

This week on the podcast I speak to dr Scott Lear, professor in at Simon Fraser University on mental health, lifestyle strategies and speaking out in order to help foster awareness and acceptance amongst those around you. We spent most of our time discussing Professor Lear's own depression diagnosis after several years of feeling down but for no (what Scott calls) good reason for it. We discuss the stigma that is attached to mental health diagnoses and the impact this can have on people talking about their mental health. We talk about the strategies he employed (both professional and also personal) to help recover from it and how important it was for him to receive treatment even though he was doing a lot of what is recommended we do to help our mental health (like exercise, diet etc). and how this led him to become interested in (and an advocate for) the impact that lifestyle has on mental health.Dr Scott Lear is a Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University and holds the Pfizer/Heart and Stroke Foundation Chair in Cardiovascular Prevention Research at St. Paul's Hospital. He is also a member of the Division of Cardiology at Providence Health Care.Over the past 20 years, he's been conducting research in the prevention and management of heart disease focusing on supporting healthy lifestyles and improving access to timely health care.In addition to publishing over 160 research papers, his work has been featured in various media outlets including The Vancouver Sun, The Conversation, The Heart and Stroke Foundation, CityTV and Global News. He also has an active blog and regularly podcasts on issues to do with health, including heart health, mental health and overall health.

About The Guests: - Dr. Morris Hartstein is an ophthalmologist and oculoplastic surgeon, and the founder of Operation Ethiopia, an NGO that provides eye care services in Ethiopia. He has been traveling to Ethiopia since 2014, helping build an extensive program in Gondar and Addis Ababa. - Dr. Seblewongel Eshetu is an oculoplastic surgeon from Ethiopia. She completed her fellowship in oculoplastics with Dr. Hartstein in Israel as part of Operation Ethiopia's Physician Training Program. Dr. Eshetu is currently working at St. Paul's Hospital in Addis Ababa, where she is the first female oculoplastic surgeon in the country. Episode Summary: Dr. Cat Burkat interviews Dr. Morris Hartstein who shares his journey of getting involved in global ophthalmology and oculoplastics in Ethiopia. He initially visited Ethiopia with his family on a volunteer trip and was inspired by the level of need and poverty he witnessed. Since then, he has been traveling to Ethiopia multiple times a year, providing eye care services, training residents and fellows, and organizing cataract surgery campaigns. Dr. Hartstein emphasizes the importance of building relationships, understanding the local culture, and going through proper government and medical channels to ensure the success and sustainability of global outreach programs. At the conclusion of the episode, Dr. Cat Burkat interviews Dr. Seblewongel Eshetu, who shares her experience training in oculoplastics with Dr. Hartstein, which included training both in Israel and Ethiopia. She also describes the challenges she faces as an oculoplastic surgeon in Ethiopia and the importance of sharing surgical skills and knowledge between visiting surgical groups and local physicians. Dr. Eshetu emphasizes the need for advanced materials and instruments to treat patients in Ethiopia, where many cases present in advanced stages. She also highlights the impact of oculoplastic surgery on both patients and their families, as many travel from rural areas and face significant disruptions to their lives. Both Dr. Hartstein and Eshetu conclude by expressing their commitment to teaching and expanding oculoplastic surgery in Ethiopia. Key Takeaways: 1. Global surgical trips should always respect local culture, traditions, and other providers. 2. Sustainable education and training are the ideal as this allows for local surgeons to continue optimal patient care. 3. Working in global oculoplastics must be properly approached with the government health department, local hospitals, NGOs to provide safe and effective outcomes. 4. Training in oculoplastics in Israel provided Dr. Eshetu with a different perspective and advanced surgical knowledge. 5. The transition back to Ethiopia was challenging due to differences in lighting, instruments, and materials. 6. Sharing surgical skills and knowledge with visiting surgical groups is crucial for advancing oculoplastic surgery in Ethiopia. 7. Access to advanced materials and instruments is essential for treating patients in Ethiopia and similar countries, where many cases present in advanced stages. 8. Oculofacial plastic surgery can have a significant impact on patients, who can then move forward in their daily lives and provide for their families.

Hyperammonemia is an adverse effect that poses clinical uncertainty regarding the prescription of valproic acid (VPA) use. The prevalence of symptomatic and asymptomatic hyperammonemia and its relationship to VPA concentration is not well established. In this podcast, clinical pharmacists Michelle Gnrya and Yiu-Ching Jennifer Wong of St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver discuss their systematic review that summarizes evidence available regarding VPA-associated hyperammonemia and its prevalence, clinical outcomes, and management. Their review is published in the May-June 2023 issue of the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology. The review found various risk factors for this common adverse effect, including concomitant medications, liver injury, and defects in carnitine metabolism. With VPA discontinued, most symptomatic patients returned to baseline mental status with normalized ammonia level. Further studies are required to determine the benefit of routine ammonia level monitoring and to guide the management of VPA-associated hyperammonemia.

Dr. Mari DeMarco, Ph.D., is a researcher at the University of British Columbia concerned with how the diagnoses of neurodegenerative diseases can be improved by discovering and using biomarkers. Led a study on biomarkers. Her lab aims to create better tools for the timely diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, frontotemporal degeneration, and related disorders and make these tools easily accessible to those that need them. Dr. DeMarco talks about the use of the amyloid beta peptide and tau biomarkers in dementia and specifically Alzheimer's Disease and the results of the one arm of the Impact-AD study on clinical management. These two biomarkers are found in cerebral spinal fluid. They offer patients and healthcare providers a definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease, something that previously eluded many individuals. The analysis offered by Dr. DeMarco's lab at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver is available in Canada to consulting physicians, i.e., neurologists, geriatricians, and psychiatrists, who think that a patient who has symptoms of dementia would benefit from the test.

The Province is making changes to help keep British Columbians safe, launching a new Safer Communities Action Plan with immediate steps that will strengthen enforcement to keep those who commit repeat violent offences off our streets, and strengthen services to build safe, healthy communities for everyone.The new measures respond to a rise in repeat violent offending linked to unintended impacts of federal law changes and subsequent Supreme Court decisions, and increased mental-health and addiction challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and the toxic drug crisis.“Being compassionate, concerned and taking action on mental-health and addiction issues does not mean that we have to accept repeated criminal behaviour or violence,” said Premier David Eby. “Everyone deserves to feel safe in their community. We are making changes to bring key groups together to keep people and communities safe – ensuring those who commit violent acts face consequences, and creating as many opportunities as possible for them to address mental-health and addiction issues to break the cycle of a life in and out of jail.”The Safer Communities Action Plan lays out concrete steps at the provincial level to make communities safer under two tracks: enforcement, and intervention services. Each initiative is structured to improve co-ordination between law enforcement, community service organizations, justice system actors, health providers and people who are recovering from addiction and mental-health challenges in a collaborative, co-ordinated approach to address the issues people are seeing in their communities.New measures announced include:launching new repeat violent offender co-ordinated response teams, made up of police, and dedicated prosecutors and probation officers;expanding mental-health crisis response teams into more communities so police can focus on crime, and people in crisis are met early on by health-care workers and community members;taking the next steps in creating a new model of addictions care at St. Paul's Hospital so people can seamlessly move from crisis response in the emergency room, to detox, to treatment services, in partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health and Providence Health Care, with plans to expand this model in the future;opening 10 new Indigenous Justice Centres to provide culturally appropriate support for Indigenous Peoples involved in the justice system to address the root causes of their involvement in the system and help them break the cycle;going after the houses, cars and luxury goods of high-level organized criminals who profit on misery by introducing “unexplained wealth order” legislation in spring 2023; andbuilding public confidence in the prosecution system with new direction from the attorney general to prosecutors to implement a clear and understandable approach to bail for repeat violent offenders within the existing federal law. The new policy will take effect on Nov. 22, 2022. https://depictions.media/premier-eby-takes-action-to-keep-people-communities-safe/

Dr. Su-Yin MacDonell (https://twitter.com/MacdonellSu?s=20&t=x_rOcGb83XcxYyWjb0ow2g) is an anesthetist specializing in periop medicine at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver. She is particularly interested in the concept of noise in the OR, and how that can affect decision-making and focus in the OR. We were privileged to hear about her research around noise in the OR, and her thoughts around how we can improve the OR environment and communication across the drapes. Links: 1. Noise in the operating room during induction of anesthesia: impact of a quality improvement initiative. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35014000/ 2. Effect of noise on auditory processing in the operating room. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24246628/ Bio (from http://periopcongress.org/wp content/uploads/2019/10/MacDonell.pdf) Su-Yin started her career as a professional ballet dancer before completing her BSN at UVIC (2005). After two years as a medical-surgical Registered Nurse, she obtained her MD at UBC(2011). Her Residency in Anesthesiology at UBC (2017) was lengthened slightly by having two daughters. Following residency, Su-Yin had additional training in Perioperative Vascular Medicine in Hamilton, Ontario and Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) certification through CHEST. Su-Yin completed her masters in Perioperative Medicine, through the University College of London. As a staff Anesthesiologist at St. Paul's Hospital (Vancouver), she is part of the ERAS working group, Perioperative Anesthesia group and is the Perioperative Medicine Fellowship Director (Anesthesia). Outside of medicine, Su-Yin continues to dance, reluctantly cleans up after husband and two young children, and tries to read before falling asleep with the light on.

Today we had a fascinating conversation with Ken Presner. Ken Presner had multiple sclerosis and Crohn's disease many years ago and was able to overcome all of that through a variety of detoxification methods. He now stresses proper detoxification that helps the body to eliminate these toxins, heavy metals and poisons from the body. After reading Hulda Clark's book The Cure For All Diseases, Ken decided to create a zapper that is more powerful and more effective than anything else out there on the market. We get into his work with zappers, square wave frequency vs sign wave frequency and how zappers compare to Rife technology. We also get into many more details like how to use the zapper, who it's good for, how often to use it, how long to use it, where to put it on the body and many other questions pertaining to using The Ultimate Zapper to enhance your health. I even asked him about whether or not it's okay to use The Ultimate Zapper for prevention. His answer on that might surprise you. It's interesting that when Ken first got involved in natural healing, he traced all of his health struggles back to exposure to mercury amalgam fillings. Dentists often refer to these as silver fillings. Most people don't know that mercury is the second most toxic substance known to man and it sits right below radioactive plutonium in terms of how deadly it is. When people have mercury fillings in their mouths tiny molecules and even atoms of this mercury will off gas into your body. Dr. Hal Huggins once said that even 1 atom of mercury was toxic to the human body. We just have no way of dealing with mercury and it wreaks havoc on the body. If you are interested going to the best biological dentist in the whole world (in my opinion) check out the show we did with Dr. Stuart Nunnally and you can visit his website by clicking here. I had him remove my mercury fillings back in 2010 and then in March 2014 he extracted two root canals and cleaned out 4 infected cavitations. You can see our photo with him by clicking here. :) We also talked about the connections between mercury and a whole host of neurological diseases like Alzheimer's Disease, Dementia, Multiple Sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's Disease, ALS, Cerebral palsy, retardation and many more. I believe there's an incredibly strong connection between mercury exposure and these types of conditions. Ken also talked about cleansing parasites out of his body and healing from Crohn's Disease using frequency medicine and more specifically the Ultimate Zapper that he's developed. This was truly a very fascinating show and we hope that it gives all of you guys hope and inspiration that natural healing is in fact possible if you go about it the right way.

In this episode, I sit down with Vancouver urogynecoloist Dr. Roxana Geoffrion to discuss: OASIS (obstetrical anal sphincter injuries)what the stats tell us about perineal tearingrisk factors for perineal tearinghow are perineal tears commonly managed in hospital and on dischargehow to be proactive going into and during birthwhat follow up can new moms expectwhat signs and symptoms new moms should watch for at homeways to improve management of grade 3/4 perineal tearsBe Pelvic Health Aware campaignDr. Roxana Geoffrion is an associate professor at the University of British Columbia and has been practicing urogynecology at the Centre for Pelvic Floor at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver for the past 12 years. Dr. Geoffrion completed her medical degree at McGill University and her residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Ottawa. She then pursued subspecialty fellowship training in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery at the University of Calgary. Dr. Geoffrion's research interests include patient education and knowledge translation in the area of pelvic floor health and prevention of disease. She was recently awarded a grant from the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research, to build a website and initiate a social media campaign about the female pelvic floor. Since many pelvic floor issues start in pregnancy, the initial focus of the campaign was on disseminating evidence-based information on pregnancy and childbirth, and how these two life events impact pelvic health. With a group of colleagues, Dr. Geoffrion produced whiteboard animation videos in simple language, to describe various pelvic floor issues and preventative options. These can be viewed online, along with many other useful resources, at www.bepelvichealthaware.ca. The campaign is on Instagram and Facebook.

Vancouver city council has debated a number of recommendations on the future of Prior Street - the narrow road that connects to the Georgia and Dunsmuir viaducts from East Vancouver and is used as an arterial route. Councillors voted to support the construction of an underpass at the Burrard Inlet Rail Line, allowing the road to continue feeding area traffic into downtown once the viaducts are removed and the new St. Paul's Hospital is built. But council also backed staff's suggestion to downgrade Prior to a collector street with a 30 km/h speed limit alongside Strathcona Park. Guest: Pete Fry Vancouver City Councillor

A new report by the Public Health Agency of Canada is revealing some grim outcomes of the country's opioid crisis. The report says that over 10-thousand people have died from opioid overdoses in the last three years. In the first nine months of last year alone, 3,286 Canadians died because of this - almost 1,200 of them were in BC - more than any other province in Canada. The Public Health Agency of Canada says this data shows fentanyl and other fentanyl-related substances continue to be a major driver of this crisis. Today, there are even more concerns about how patients can be treated. Officials with Vancouver Coastal Health say they've been dealing with an uptick in overdoses over the past few weeks, with the drugs spiked with Benzodiazepines. And to make matters worse: Naloxone, the antidote given to counter opioid OD's -- doesn't work on Benzodiazepines. At St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, people are not waking up after being given Naloxone, even though they are still breathing. Just before we came on air, I spoke with Garth Mullins - you may know him from his podcast - it's called ‘Crackdown', and he's an opioid user who advocates access to opioid addiction treatment like methadone. Guest: Garth Mullins Producer of the Crackdown podcast Opioid user who advocates access to opioid addiction treatment like methadone
A local hospital is introducing a new maternity positioning band, the first of its kind in Canada. St Paul's Hospital now carries the Canadian-made Joeyband, which allows mothers who deliver through C-section to safely engage in skin-to-skin contact with their babies. The band helps to secure a baby to its mother. C-sections are a particularly straining type of childbirth, and mothers who endure it often have compromised ability to hold their newborn. St. Paul's will be the first hospital to offer the device, and it was created in response to an overwhelming amount of research showing the importance of skin-to-skin contact between the mother and the newborn child. Guest: Scott Harrison Director for the maternity centre at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver
Premier John Horgan has announced his government has approved the business plan for the new St. Paul's Hospital on the False Creek Flats on the east side of downtown Vancouver.

Guest: Hugh Tildesley, MD Host: Lee Freedman, MD Metformin is often the first line of therapy for patients with type 2 diabetes: it is relatively inexpensive, available, and has proven efficacy. However, metformin is contraindicated for patients with renal insufficiency, a common comorbidity in diabetes. Do the benefits of metformin outweigh the risks for those with renal insufficiency, or should we use caution when considering metformin for these patients? Dr. Hugh Tildesley, clinical professor in the department of medicine, division of endocrinology at the University of British Columbia at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, Canada, considers the safety of metformin in patients with diabetes. What approach should clinicians use when considering metformin for patients with type 2 diabetes who have some degree of renal impairment? Dr. Lee Freedman hosts.
