We are so excited to be here with you today. I have Kristy on crew with me. We have a slew of podcasts we're recording and just some really, really exciting information. We're gonna make it as exciting as we can, at least, that we wanna get out to you. We are more than halfway through the year, which is pretty massive. And so we're gonna be talking about...   a ton about how to end the year, things and pieces to look forward to, things you should be doing now to wrap up for the end of the year, and realistically things to look forward to for the upcoming year, which at this point of recording is 2026. So no matter what year you're listening to us, a lot of this should still be incredibly valuable. Kristy, I am so excited you're here with me today. Thank you so much for clearing your schedule, being here.   being open to this and just always coming with some really invaluable information for our listeners. How are you today, Kristy?   DAT Kristy (01:00) It's a good summer day and a good day to be with you as well. So happy to do it.   The Dental A Team (01:04) Thank you,   thank you. And for those of you who may not know, Kristy, Kristy lived in Arizona a long time ago. she originally, like her formative years were here, but then she left Arizona for quite a little while and she's recently relocated back to the desert. And she decided to come right at the beginning of summer, which I used to tell people like,   don't move here in the summer, like come in different months. But then I started realizing, I'm like, well, if you move here in the summer, you get the worst of the worst. And then the rest of the year is like icing on top of the cake. So Kristy, I actually think you did it in the right direction. And I keep telling you, I think you brought some awesome weather with you this year because we have not broken record heat this year for like the first time ever.   Honestly, we keep breaking records every year and I'm like, these are records we don't need to break. And this year, I think the record has been that it's been so nice. Like it truly, truly has been really light summer. So Kristy, thanks for bringing your weather with you and giving us a little reprieve here in Arizona. So I told you we're going to make these as fun as we possibly can. You guys, we always aim for that fun is actually one of our core values. So it's something we work really, really hard for.   I say that today because I really wanted to talk to you guys about some regulatory compliances, which just even in those words sounds like womp womp, right? Like we're just, how do you make that exciting? Well, with the Dental A Team, Dental A Team can make anything exciting. We can have fun with whatever we want in everything. We truly believe that if we're not having fun, why are we even doing it? So it doesn't mean that things aren't hard, things aren't difficult, that you won't have to push through hard things. It just means that there should be fun on the other side.   and it shouldn't be, you know, tears of pain the whole way through. So here we are, regulatory compliance. You guys know that this is actually really important in the dental industry. You guys have all heard of OSHA. So we'll dive into a little bit on the OSHA, but you guys have also heard of HIPAA. And I have to say, and Kristy, you can tell me what your thoughts are as well, I have to say that when I was in practice, like physically working in an office, we never talked about HIPAA.   We talked about OSHA constantly, like OSHA is going to come in and you've got to have everything six inches from the ceiling and off these certain walls. And you've got to have so many fire extinguishers and the fire escape plans and like all of these, you know, barriers and masks and gloves and don't wear gloves outside the door. All of these pieces for OSHA safety compliance, but   I never heard about HIPAA. I knew as a front office team member that patients had to sign the HIPAA forms and that they had to update them every so often, but I didn't actually know what it was. And when patients would ask me like, oh, what am I signing? I'm like, ah, it just says we're not going to give away your information. Right. And I'm like, I don't know if that's what it says or not, but like, that's what I heard someone say. And so I'm just repeating it. Right. So Kristy, I don't know if you had a different experience in office, but I really truly felt like until   I had to train people on it until I had to be like, no, you have to do HIPAA in the office. And until as a company, we had to start taking our own HIPAA courses every year. I had no idea exactly what it meant for a dental office. And Kristy, you may have had a different experience, but tell me what was your experience when it came to HIPAA in your dental practices that you've worked in?   DAT Kristy (04:36) Yeah, my experience   was actually you made me laugh. It was very similar to yours. I think it was what around 2013 that those forms came out and it was pretty funny because when it first started even patients were funny about it. Like I remember this big long form and you'd hand it to patients and say the same thing. ⁓ it just means we're not going to sell your information or give it to anybody and patients would start reading it and they're crossing things out. And then I'm asking my doctor like how   The Dental A Team (04:50) Yeah.   Yeah.   DAT Kristy (05:06) can they just rewrite it?" And he's like, it doesn't matter. It is what it is. It's just a form. And yeah, so really I started the same place you did. And then later years, ⁓ we ended up doing more formal training on HIPAA. But yeah, started in the same place.   The Dental A Team (05:23) Yeah, I remember   those sheets. They were like longer than it was. It was like a car contract.   where was like you had to fold it a certain way, like they were longer than the rest of the sheets and my patients did the same thing. They're like, well, I don't really agree with this. Like, and they just cross it off and then initial it. And I'm like, all right, like whatever, I just need to scan it into your document center. Like that's all I've got here, right? And if it's like in the paper folder, I had to like fold it so that it would fit. yeah, it was around 2013 and it was like so odd. And then every year they had updates to it. And I was like, I don't know what any of this means, except I did know at the bottom.   them it said, if we were to release your information, who would you want it released to? So my point of that is it's   2025 right now, I don't know what year you're gonna listen to this. 2013 we started this and it took many years for any of us to really learn and understand what it meant, let alone our patience even know and understand what it means. But it is incredibly invaluable and I'm not here to teach you HIPAA by all means, that is never my gig ⁓ or OSHA, but I do know that there are plenty of courses and even just like online forums or...   whatever that will go through it. There are two sides to it and they're incredibly important, especially for business owners. So doctors and owners out there, my doctor too, I was like, what is this? Just like Kristy, what you said, can they do this? He's like, I don't know. Just like, it's just a new form that they told us we need to do. So just do it. And I'm like, okay. He had no idea what it meant either. He just knew it was really important. So.   Doctors go get versed in it. We actually have to take a compliance course every year. All of us do for HIPAA compliance on the medical side, but then also on the business side. And that comes down, it boils down to really privacy, right? And what that looks like. And it actually will take you through what it looks like as far as electronic privacy, verbal privacy, ⁓ patient charts, like how long do you have to keep things? Where should they be kept? Like certain   certain things that honestly and truly your front office is looking up all the time. I don't know how many times I asked like wait a second how long do we have to keep these x-rays for? Wait how long do we have to keep these boxes of files for? Like we're going digital which crazily enough there's still plenty plenty of practices out there that are not digital. ⁓   I know some near and to my heart that are not digital. So like, I remember, but it's just these, these file boxes that you get from Staples and you put them together and we're putting the files in there and we're marking the year that we put them in there so that we could wait the right amount of time. But still in the back of my head, I'm like, is this even right? Like, am I waiting enough time? We would put the date that we boxed it and then the date that it could be destroyed, like, you know, destroy date.   But still I was like...   ⁓ this is still kind of scary. Like, am I doing this right? So my suggestion is to always make sure that you take those courses and that you're well versed in it, especially as a business owner. And I'm saying this after you're three of having to take the HIPAA course online for business compliance for our company, because it's really hard, you guys. I'm not gonna lie. When I go through it, it's like, Karen, I have this game that we play on who's going to get the better score. And to truth be told, like, it's like a barely   passing score and we're like how did how am I still not getting this we read through the stuff we tell we watch the videos and we get to the end and we're like what the heck I still didn't understand it so go take those courses it's just online it's super easy I'm sure we can throw you over a link if you want it so HIPAA I actually wanted to spend some time instilling in you the importance because I think the only thing we hear in dentistry is OSHA and we know so much of the OSHA stuff   But with that said, you also need to focus in on the OSHA. And Kristy, I don't know if you guys had this one too. I had that big red OSHA book that always went in the same spot up above the dental assistance computer so that we always knew where it was. We had the OSHA one, we had the MSDS sheets, and it was like, you did not mess with these books. They were always updated, the, you know, needle stick protocol. But still, you'd go in there and you're like somebody, somebody stuck themselves and you're just like,   frazzle and you're like I don't know what to do even though we've got this OSHA book that tells us what to do it was still a lot so Kristy how did how did you guys do HIPAA and OSHA within your practices like how did you make sure that we you guys had everything that you needed and then how do you train offices to do that now?   DAT Kristy (10:06) Yeah, that's   It's a good thing that you're touching on it because it's one of those things that I think even offices tend to not do because it's so complex. I will say ⁓ we just made it part of our yearly routine. And this is perfect timing because we're coming to the end of the year. And as we're future planning for next year, even setting our goals for the practice and all of that, looking at the calendar and making sure those days are marked out, just like you would your CPI.   The Dental A Team (10:14) Yeah.   DAT Kristy (10:37) are, you know, make sure your OSHA is booked every year in your ⁓ HIPAA training because they are serious, right? And they're one of those things, especially like OSHA, it could shut you down if you weren't compliant. So it is very necessary, but I would say do it as part of your yearly planning and just make sure it's booked on your schedule every year.   The Dental A Team (11:02) I totally agree with you. And I think one piece with that is to make sure you guys understand it too. I know that for us, in my practice, we always stressed about the OSHA because we were like, if they ever come in. And that's like one space of it, right? For sure, you want to be compliant. You want to have the right spaces. If they were to come in, you want to have everything you were supposed to have for sure. But on the flip side of that, like the reason that they do that isn't because they want to come in and like give you a bad grade or get you   in trouble, right? They do it because they actually want you utilizing the information. They want you knowing it and they want it to be helpful in keeping your business safe. And so   not only making sure that you're compliant for the passing grade, but that you're compliant in the fact that you understand it and you're able to use it because it really is truly beneficial for your practice. And there are actually some really valuable pieces in there, just like CPR. Like we have to take CPR to be compliant, but the day that you have to use it is the day you're like, thank God that they made me do that. Right. Like, gosh, this could have been really bad. Right. The day that my son   bless his freaking four-year-old heart at the time, decided to put gummy worms in his frozen yogurt and they turn into rocks and he's choking on it in the middle of the frozen yogurt store and I, thank God, knew what to do to...   pull it out of his mouth and make sure he doesn't have to resuscitate him, all of these pieces, right? We undervalue things because we think we have to do it because someone's telling us to. And if we don't, we're gonna get a bad grade or we're gonna get a slap on the wrist or whatever. Yes and. Like, Kristy, I love when you say yes and. This is a yes and situation. Yes, get the good letter grade, don't get a slap on the wrist, don't get a fine and.   save lives with this information too. HIPAA, you're not going to save a life, but guess what? It's better to be super safe because, I mean, honestly, cybersecurity is wild. And I have had many practices while consulting that have been hacked. And I don't know if you all remember a couple of years ago now, was it last year maybe? Yeah, all of the insurances got hacked and we were without insurance payments for three or four months. We couldn't even submit claims. Like it was wild.   these things do happen and if you're not HIPAA compliant, if you don't know what it means, things aren't stored correctly, you just you have a lot of patients that could be in a lot of trouble. So not only are you going to get in trouble from a business standpoint with you know the regulatory compliance people,   but you're putting your patient's information and your own information at risk. You've got payroll documents on there. You've got your team's information on there. There's a lot of very sensitive information that's stored on there. So OSHA is incredibly valuable. Know it, train on it. I know we used to do quarterly training for OSHA. We'd add it into our monthly team meeting. We'd do a two hour monthly team meeting and at least 30 minutes of that once a quarter would be OSHA training. And so it would be training on a   certain subject from the OSHA book. They literally give it all to you ⁓ and then what I would do now is actually add in some of that HIPAA training with it like quarterly, monthly, however you guys want to do it and yearly, especially making sure that we're all reviewing it, that we're all up to date, that we all understand it and we understand any changes because they change them at the drop of a dime and Kristy, I don't know if you've ever received a letter from OSHA saying, hey, these are the updates but I have not.   I've never seen anything that was just like, guess what? We've updated and changed. So you guys have to go out and look for that information on your own.   Kristy, how did you handle, I know in my practice we had two people. We had one that was responsible for OSHA and then one that was responsible for HIPAA, which at that point, you know, just made sure that we did the sheets. Now we know there's much more involved to it, but how did you handle that in your practice as far as someone like the accountability piece to it? And I never wanted the accountability myself, my doctor.   He's a very busy man. Personally, professionally very busy. I ran his schedule ragged. He was constantly on the move. There's no way on this earth.   that he was ever going to be able to hold anything accountable, especially Osher or HIPAA. So I never made him the owner of that. And then as the office manager, I tried to stay out of that lane as well because I didn't want it to get mixed up in other pieces. But Kristy, how did you handle it in your practice and how do you see practices now handling that kind of responsibility and accountability piece?   DAT Kristy (15:46) Yeah. ⁓   Honestly going back to what you said, it's it's having a champion, right? It doesn't mean that they're the only one responsible but somebody that is the point person that ⁓ Is checking on those things and reporting back? You know how it kind of makes me think of when you go into a restroom at a chain store one of those and they have those Checklists about they check the bathroom at a certain time using something like that to know   The Dental A Team (16:15) Yeah.   DAT Kristy (16:18) ⁓ Because even your fire drills guys we're supposed to have fire drills and make sure team right on Boarding did we teach them where the I wash station is did we show them our? Meetup area if something happens, so It's important and like I said have that point person that can report back   The Dental A Team (16:22) Yeah.   DAT Kristy (16:38) Potentially in one of your team meetings just check on it. Just make sure it's like we do our checklist and chart audits ⁓ I was gonna circle back to you too because I won't name names But we all heard of the corporate entity that also got hacked, right? It's maybe been a couple years now, but you know Think of that they they're a big nationwide chain lots of money, right? And so even if they it happened to them like us as little   The Dental A Team (16:40) Yeah.   Yeah.   DAT Kristy (17:08) guys that don't have that kind of money to spend, we have to be very diligent. I would also do like chart audit type thing. Maybe not necessarily chart, but listen, listen to your admin people. Are they breaching HIPAA in conversations? You know, are they checking IDs? Are we even getting photo IDs from patients?   The Dental A Team (17:18) Yeah.   No, most places   are not getting photo IDs.   DAT Kristy (17:34) Yeah.   And a lot of people, you know, they look, well, we want to know who's coming in. So we want to get your photo. No, don't share your secrets. But on the same token, like it is part of compliance. And if, if you guys have ever heard of red flag rule, if you're accepting insurance, you have a due diligence to make sure that that person is who they say they are. And I have experienced where somebody came in portraying they're somebody else. So ⁓ they're little things, but they can be.   big things and just like that corporate entity it was flashed all over the news and so it's also about saving our reputation those things are hard to come back from.   The Dental A Team (18:16) I totally agree. That's a really great point. And I don't think I know many practices, maybe a handful, that really truly understand the value of the ID portion of it. And I do hear that too, like, we want to know who's coming in. Yeah, but your ID is not going to... A lot of practices will use it for both, and I think that's great. But my picture on my ID, you're never going to know that it's me, right? But at least you took it. It's got my information. It's got my statistics, my demographics that match up   within my insurance card because that does happen constantly.   constantly patients or practices are reporting that they've had patients that come in with the insurance, but it's not actually the person who's on the insurance card. happens a lot. And as you're taking payments as well, like, you know, I'm, I'm surprised we don't get asked more often for our credit cards, but when, or for our ID with our credit cards, but when I do, I'm always like thrown off. But then at the same time, I'm like, actually, thank you for caring enough about my safety, right? My electronic safety that someone's not using my credit card. Who's not actually them. Cause that has happened.   I have had those charges pop up that my credit card is like someone's at Circle K trying to use $5 and they're just like testing it, right? So I do appreciate that and I value it and I think our patients would too. But it is a piece of the record keeping that you're supposed to have if you are going to accept insurance from those patients. So it is a massive piece. that was a great, great point, Kristy. Biggest takeaway today, you guys, two biggest takeaways. Go figure out what HIPAA is if you don't know what it is, medical and   and business like standing business HIPAA, go figure both of those things out. Make sure that you're OSHA compliant, that you've got your book, you've got your sheets, you've got everything that you're supposed to have and that you're training on both of those because those make them compliant as well. And then make sure you've got point people to ensure that these trainings are happening to ensure that we're up to date with everything we're supposed to have. So super easy, you guys, you just you got to dig in and do the work. And I challenge you guys to go take that HIPAA test. It's hard.   Even after taking the course that leads up to it, it is not easy. and I both have struggled with that sucker. So I challenge you to go take that ding test and tell me you know anything about HIPAA. HIPAA? OSHA? K?   Just be compliant, you guys, and figure out an easy way. Like Kristy said, schedule it every year. Schedule it out. You've got your Ops manual update, so do your Ops manual update, your OSHA update, your HIPAA updates, and then make sure that you've got a point person probably for each of those, and they should be three separate people in my opinion if you've got the capacity within your staffing to do it. Kristy, thank you so much for your nuggets and for letting me probe questions over to you about your past as well. You have always, always amazing points.   So thank you for being here with us. Is there anything else you can think of that I missed in that wrap up that they should be doing?   DAT Kristy (21:09) No, I think you hit it all. The only thing we didn't touch on was make sure you're doing PCI compliance because you mentioned credit cards and taking them. There's still a ton of practices that I go in and they're writing down cards. Guys, get rehearsed. You could be putting yourself into ⁓ some situations by doing that. So that would be the only other one that I would add in the mix.   The Dental A Team (21:15) there.   That's a that's actually a really good point. And I've had a couple of practices text me some office managers and be like, what does this mean this PCI like people don't know what that means. And they don't know what that is. So make sure your office managers do know what that is. It goes right along with HIPAA. And those two go hand in hand. So just make sure, again, that you're not running the team that's like, I don't know, we're just supposed to sign this that they actually know what they're for. Because with a reason behind it, things get done. So that was massive, Kristy, thank you for remembering the PCI compliance. Alright, guys, go do   the things they're not really that hard except for that HIPAA test and I do challenge you to go take it because I just want to hear from you on how fun it was. But go do the things if you ever need anything you guys know where to find us Hello@TheDentalATeam.com we are here to help you I know that we do the HIPAA test every year you guys know especially if you're my clients I don't actually know   the link for that, we can get it for you. So Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. We can send you the information for the company that we utilize within our team and our company. Just let us know. And as always, drop a five star review. We'd love to hear what you thought about this. And if you have any regulatory information or things that you'd like to share, put it in that review because people really do read through those and they'll catch it as well. Thanks so much, guys. We'll catch you next time.

Is compliance just a checkbox, or the backbone of real security? Returning to the show with decades of hard-earned insight, Jeff Man makes the case that compliance, especially PCI-DSS, isn't just a formality; it's foundational to modern security. As one of the original architects of the NSA Red Team and a 20-year PCI veteran, Jeff explains how this often-misunderstood framework has shaped everything from pen testing to vendor accountability. Ron and Jeff unpack the six core goals of PCI, how red teams and SaaS builders are directly affected, and why many security teams resist compliance efforts, despite relying on them to get essential buy-in and funding.   Impactful Moments: 00:00 – Introduction 01:00 – Does compliance equal security? 02:09 – Jeff returns with PCI firepower 03:15 – Defining security vs. compliance 05:33 – “Show me what you're doing” 06:45 – Six goals at PCI's core 10:45 – Security is watching, not reacting 13:30 – Companies secure because they have to 15:00 – PCI gave red teams their jobs 16:30 – Stripe and Square absorb PCI burden 19:30 – PCI 4.0 causes confusion 21:00 – Vendors aren't your trusted advisors 22:30 – “Hate me, but I'll help” Links: Connect with our guest, Jeff Man: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreyeman/ Check out our upcoming events: https://www.hackervalley.com/livestreams Join our creative mastermind and stand out as a cybersecurity professional: https://www.patreon.com/hackervalleystudio Love Hacker Valley Studio?

Ginevra Bompiani, Luciana Castellina"Il femminismo della mia vicina"Manni Editoriwww.mannieditori.itCi sono molti punti in comune tra il colonialismo e il patriarcato. Noi donne siamo state colonizzate e quindi dobbiamo liberarci. Il colonialismo non è solo oppressione materiale, ma anche snaturamento della nostra stessa identità. E, anzi, il nostro non riconoscerci come donne è stata un'oppressione più dura di quella materiale.Luciana Castellina Bisogna tornare molto indietro o andare molto avanti per individuare la vera differenza fra l'uomo e la donna; quella che non costringe e non umilia nessuno dei due. Ma per prima cosa, bisogna abolire il potere che l'uomo si sente in diritto di esercitare sulla donna.Ginevra BompianiLuciana Castellina e Ginevra Bompiani, grandi amiche, grandi personalità, si raccontano come donne e come femministe, tracciano un bilancio e fanno progetti.Ripercorrono la propria vicenda a partire dall'infanzia, fino al rapporto con l'altro sesso e alla maternità; la formazione femminista, Bompiani nel gruppo Rivolta Femminile e Castellina nel Pci e nell'Udi; e ragionano sul femminismo storico e su quello contemporaneo, sul dibattito attuale e sulle principali battaglie: dalla legislazione al Me too, dal concetto di identità al pensiero della differenza, dalla questione linguistica alle quote rosa.La storia intellettuale di Bompiani e quella politica di Castellina si incontrano in un'amicizia che è fatta anche di contrasti, di posizioni diverse, ma che trova una piena convergenza nella necessità della lotta di genere.Un libro che ha lo sguardo rivolto al passato e al futuro in un'epoca in cui l'unica rivoluzione che sembra riuscita è il nuovo modo di concepire la donna e di denunciare il patriarcato.Ginevra BompianiÈ nata a Milano nel 1939. Ha insegnato Letteratura inglese e Letterature Comparate all'Università di Siena. Ha fondato con alcuni amici la casa editrice nottetempo che ha diretto per tredici anni. Ha pubblicato libri di narrativa e saggistica. Tra gli ultimi, il memoir La penultima illusione (Feltrinelli, 2022) e Il pensiero affettivo, saggio epistolare con Sarantis Thanopulos (Feltrinelli, 2024).Luciana CastellinaÈ nata a Roma nel 1929. Ha lavorato nella sezione femminile del Pci e ha fatto parte della presidenza dell'Udi. Tra i fondatori del “manifesto”, è stata deputata del Parlamento italiano ed europeo. Ha pubblicato diversi libri di saggistica e memoir, tra cui La scoperta del mondo (nottetempo, 2011, Cinquina del Premio Strega).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

In this eye-opening episode of the Whole Body Detox Show, discover the shocking truth behind the widespread use of cardiac procedures like stents (PCI) and bypass surgery (CABG) — and why many may be unnecessary for those with stable heart disease.Drawing insights from Dr. Brownstein's Natural Way to Health and years of clinical experience, host David DeHaas of Living Waters Wellness Center breaks down how the medical industry often prioritizes profit over patient well-being, leaving many uninformed about the actual risks, benefits, and alternatives to invasive procedures.

In this episode of JACC This Week, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Harlan Krumholz summarizes key studies from the July 15 issue, focused on cardiovascular interventions. Topics include new insights on plaque vulnerability in acute coronary syndromes, virtual flow reserve after PCI, long-term data on FFR-guided revascularization, and stent thrombosis risk. This issue delivers high-impact, practice-relevant research for interventionalists, imaging specialists, and general cardiologists alike.

Giorgia Antonelli"Tutto il mondo è cosa mia"Rossana RossandaElecta Editorewww.electa.itFelicità e libertà, tutti o nessuno, corpo e politica sono le sponde tra cui si muovono queste pagine dedicate a Rossana Rossanda (1924-2020), una ragazza che ha vissuto molte vite in una donna sola: partigiana, critica d'arte, traduttrice, deputata, scrittrice, direttrice editoriale e fondatrice del “Manifesto”. Dalla Resistenza alla crisi del PCI, dalle BR al femminismo, il ritratto di un'esistenza guidata dal dubbio e incapace di tacere davanti alle ingiustizie. Radicale e sempre in corsa.Il volume fa parte della collana OILÀ, curata da Chiara Alessi, che presenta le storie di protagoniste del Novecento. Figure femminili che, nel panorama ‘creativo' italiano e internazionale (dal design alla moda, dall'architettura alla musica, dall'illustrazione alla grafica, dalla fotografia alla letteratura) si sono distinte in rapporto a discipline e mestieri ritenuti da sempre appannaggio dell'universo maschile. I libri, pensati per essere letti ad alta voce dall'inizio alla fine in quarantacinque minuti -un viaggio breve-, sono racconti di persone condotti attraverso una lente speciale sulle loro biografie, i lavori, i fatti privati e i risultati pubblici.Il progetto grafico è a cura dello Studio Sonnoli.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Claudio Caprara"Fischiava il vento"Una storia sentimentale del comunismo italianoBompiani Editorewww.bompiani.itPassaggi Festival, FanoMer 25 Giugno 2025 – Orario: 18:15 - 19:15 – Luogo: Fano – Piazza MarcoliniCLAUDIO CAPRARA, “Fischiava il vento. Una storia sentimentale del comunismo italiano” (Bompiani, 2025)Conversa con Marino Sinibaldi (Saggista), Nando dalla Chiesa (Sociologo, Presidente Com. Scientifico Passaggi)“Senza un istante di sosta per guardare dentro di sé, tutta presa dal combattimento senza nulla di personale”: così nell'estate del 1946 Palmiro Togliatti descrive la propria vita a Nilde Iotti, il cui amore gli ha restituito il desiderio di tenere qualcosa per sé, salvandolo dalla dedizione assoluta al partito. Quella di Togliatti e Iotti è solo una delle tante vicende di una straordinaria storia collettiva che ha segnato il nostro Novecento: quella del Pci e dei suoi militanti. Il comunismo italiano è stato un'esperienza unica, capace di interpretare gli aspetti più autentici e carichi di speranza rivoluzionaria della sua ideologia fondativa senza doverne sperimentare le tragiche degenerazioni. Una causa a cui una moltitudine di donne e uomini si è votata con passione assoluta. Dalle origini, quando socialismo, comunismo e fascismo per un fatale istante si sfiorano, alle figure più e meno note di Antonio Gramsci e Anselmo e Andrea Marabini, Nicola Bombacci e Veraldo Vespignani; dal biennio rosso del 1919-20 e la nascita del Partito comunista d'Italia nel 1921 fino alla morte di Berlinguer nel 1984. E ancora: la scuola delle Frattocchie e le feste dell'Unità, gli amori e i tradimenti, la propaganda e i funerali. Claudio Caprara – nato in una sezione di partito nella rossa Imola – evoca in queste pagine i luoghi, i miti, i riti che hanno reso quella del comunismo italiano una stagione irripetibile e ci regala un viaggio per istantanee nella storia di un partito che ha lasciato un'impronta profonda nella vita del nostro paese.Claudio Caprara è nato il 21 gennaio (la stessa data della fondazione del PCI) quarant'anni prima del 2000, in una sezione del Partito comunista italiano. Ha lavorato per la FGCI (Federazione giovanile comunista italiana) a livello locale, regionale e nazionale. Ha diretto un settimanale a Imola e ne ha fondato un altro a Faenza. Ha collaborato con Massimo D'Alema in via delle Botteghe Oscure e a Palazzo Chigi. In seguito si è occupato del primo motore di ricerca italiano, poi di televisione. Ama fare fotografie. Dal 2004 è membro del cda di Cinemovel Foundation, un'organizzazione che porta il cinema nelle zone dove non c'è più o dove non è mai arrivato. Nel 2009 ha lavorato con Luca Sofri alla costituzione della società Il Post srl e, dal 2010, ne è consigliere di amministrazione.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Contributor: Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls: How do we risk-stratify chest-pain patients? One option is the HEART score This score predicts a patient's 6-week risk of a major adverse cardiac event. Ex. Cath procedure, CABG, PCI, death H stands for History Ask 1) Was the patient diaphoretic? 2) Did they have nausea and/or vomiting? 3) Did the pain radiate down the right or left arm? 4) Was it exertional? Yes to one = one point. Two or more = two points. E stands for EKG One point for left ventricular hypertrophy, t-wave inversions, new bundle-branch blocks. No points for first degree AV block, benign early repolarization, or QT-prolongation Two points for ST-depression A stands for Age >65 gets two points 45-64 gets one point R stands for Risk factors Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, obesity, family history, smoking, previous MI, previous CABG, stroke, peripheral arterial disease 1-2 risk factors get 1 point More than two risk factors gets two points T stands for Troponin 1-3x upper limit of normal gets one point >3x upper limit of normal gets two points This gives you a score between zero and ten 0-3 points, patients have a ~2% chance of an adverse event These patients likely go home 4-6 points, patients have a ~20% chance of an adverse event These patients get admitted or expedited outpatient stress test/echo 7-10 points, patients have a ~60% chance of an adverse event Admit and call cardiology. These patients likely get catheterized References Backus BE, Six AJ, Kelder JC, Bosschaert MA, Mast EG, Mosterd A, Veldkamp RF, Wardeh AJ, Tio R, Braam R, Monnink SH, van Tooren R, Mast TP, van den Akker F, Cramer MJ, Poldervaart JM, Hoes AW, Doevendans PA.

In many organizations, security exception management is a manual process, often treated as a simple compliance checkbox. While necessary, this approach can lead to unmonitored configurations that drift from their approved state, creating inconsistencies in an organization's security posture over time. How can teams evolve this process to support modern development without compromising on security?In this episode, Ashish Rajan sits down with security expert Santosh Bompally, Cloud Security Engineering Team Lead at Humana to discuss a practical framework for automating exception management. Drawing on his journey from a young tech enthusiast to a security leader at Humana, Santosh explains how to transform this process from a manual task into a scalable, continuously monitored system that enables developer velocity.Learn how to build a robust program from the ground up, starting with establishing a security baseline and leveraging policy-as-code, certified components, and continuous monitoring to create a consistent and secure cloud environment.Guest Socials -⁠⁠ ⁠Santosh's LinkedinPodcast Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@CloudSecPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you want to watch videos of this LIVE STREAMED episode and past episodes - Check out our other Cloud Security Social Channels:-⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Podcast- Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security Newsletter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cloud Security BootCamp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠If you are interested in AI Cybersecurity, you can check out our sister podcast -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AI Cybersecurity PodcastQuestions asked:(00:00) Introduction(00:39) From Young Hacker to Cybersecurity Pro(02:14) The "Tick Box" Problem with Exception Management(03:17) Exposing Your Threat Landscape: The Risk of Not Automating(05:43) Where Do You Even Start?

Lancet 1999;353:2001-07Background: Beta-blockers directly reduce cardiac contractility and myocardial oxygen demand. For decades, they were avoided in patients with acute and chronic heart failure over concerns they would facilitate decompensation of the condition. The therapeutic cornerstones of treatment, prior to the modern era of clinical trials, focused on managing symptoms and quality of life with diuretics and inotropic agents like digoxin; however, new paradigms were arising that focused on addressing neurohormonal mechanisms of chronic disease that were over-activated in the failing heart. The first major success came with inhibition of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system with angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors whose effect on mortality for patients with mild and severe forms of chronic heart failure were demonstrated in the V-HEFT II, CONSENSUS, and SOLVD trials. Additional benefits were demonstrated with the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist spironolactone in the RALES trial. These drug classes primarily work by reducing afterload and volume retention. Appreciating why they work for improving cardiac performance and managing symptoms in heart failure patients is straightforward when we consider the major factors that effect cardiac stroke volume - preload, afterload and contractility; however, it is also noteworthy the effects these agents have on sudden death. How beta-blockade benefits the failing heart is less obvious (outside prevention of sudden death). Mechanistic studies in patients with chronic heart failure have consistently shown that when beta blockers are used for more than 1 month, left ventricular function improves. Beta blocker therapy appears to restore the density of beta-adrenergic receptors after they have been downregulated by the chronic overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system. The first major placebo-controlled RCT to demonstrate a mortality benefit used the non-selective beta blocker carvedilol. The trial was small and not originally designed to test mortality and was stopped early without clearly predefined stopping rules. Furthermore, 8% of total patients selected for participation in the trial were excluded prior to randomization after a 2 week, open-label run-in phase with the study drug, which saw 2% of all patients experience worsening heart failure or death representing 24 patients (the difference in total deaths between groups was 9 when the trial was stopped). The Metoprolol CR/XL Randomised Intervention Trial in Congestive Heart Failure (MERIT-HF) was the first large scale trial designed to test the hypothesis that beta-blockade with metoprolol controlled/extended release (CR/XL) added to optimum medical therapy reduces mortality in patients with chronic systolic heart failure.Patients: Patients were recruited from 313 sites in 13 European countries and the United States. Eligible patients were men and women between the age of 40 to 80 years with symptomatic heart failure (NYHA class II-IV) for >/= 3 months before randomization. They had to be on a diuretic and ACE inhibitor for at least 2 weeks. Other drugs, including digoxin, could also be used. Patients also had to have an EF of /=68 beats per minute.Patients were excluded if: they had an MI or unstable angina within 28 days; had an indication or contraindication for treatment with beta-blocker; beta blockade within 6 weeks; heart failure due to systemic disease (i.e., amyloidosis) or alcohol abuse; scheduled or performed cardiac transplant; an ICD; procedures such as CABG or PCI planned or performed in the past 4 months; 2nd or 3rd degree AV block unless a pacemaker was present; unstable or decompensated heart failure defined by pulmonary edema or hypoperfusion or supine systolic BP 25% deviation of the number of observed versus expected consumed placebo tablets during the run-in period.Baseline characteristics: The mean age of patients was 64 years and approximately 78% were male. Slightly more than 30% of patients were above the age of 70. The average EF was 28%. The average SBP was 130 mmHg and heart rate was 82 bpm. Most patients had mild to moderate heart failure, with 41% in NYHA Class II, 56% in Class III, and only 3% in Class IV. Ischemic cardiomyopathy accounted for 65% of cases and nonischemic causes accounted for 35%. Most patients were on an ACE inhibitor or ARB (95%) and diuretic (90%). Digoxin was used in 63%. Trial procedures: Prior to randomization, the study was preceded by a single-blind, 2-week placebo run-in period. Patients meeting eligibility were then randomized to placebo or metoprolol CR/XL. The starting dose of placebo or metoprolol CR/XL was 12.5 mg daily for patients in NYHA class III or IV and 25 mg daily for patients in NYHA class II. The dose was doubled every 2 weeks until the target dose of 200 mg daily was reached. Patients were followed every 3 months.Endpoints: The primary outcome was all-cause mortality. It was estimated that 3,200 patients would need to be followed for 2.4 years to detect a 30% relative reduction in mortality based on annual mortality rate of 9.4% in the placebo group. This would achieve at least 80% power with a 2-sided alpha of 0.04. Patients were recruited faster then planned and so the final sample size of 3,991 patients increased the power of the study.The study was monitored by an independent safety committee and predefined stopping rules for efficacy were based on all-cause mortality, done when 25%, 50%, and 75% of expected deaths had occurred. Results: The trial was stopped early after the 2nd preplanned interim analysis when 50% of expected deaths had occurred. The mean duration of follow-up at the time of stopping was 1 year. The mean daily dose of metoprolol CR/XL was 159 mg once daily, with 87% receiving 100 mg or more and 64% receiving the target dose of 200 mg daily. In the placebo group, the corresponding values were 179 mg daily, 91% and 82%. The study drug was discontinued permanently in 14% of patients in the metoprolol group and 15% in the placebo group. Six months after randomization, heart rate decreased by 14 bpm in the metoprolol group compared to only 3 bpm in the placebo group. Systolic blood pressure decreased less in the metoprolol group (-2.1 vs 3.5 mmHg).Compared to placebo, metoprolol significantly reduced all-cause mortality (7.3% vs 10.8%; RR 0.66; 95% CI 0.53—0.81). Cardiovascular mortality accounted for 91% of all deaths; with sudden death accounting for 58% and death from worsening heart failure accounting for 24% of all deaths. All 3 of these causes of death were significantly reduced by metoprolol. The relative and absolute effects on death were greatest for patients with NYHA class III heart failure.Conclusions: In this trial of stable patients with mild to moderate chronic systolic heart failure, who were optimized on an ACEi or ARB and diuretic, metoprolol CR/XL significantly reduced all-cause mortality. Approximately 30 patients would need to be treated with metoprolol compared to placebo for 1 year to prevent 1 death. This trial represents a significant win for beta blockade in patients with chronic systolic heart failure. While the NNT in this trial is slightly higher than in SOLVD, it is important to appreciate that follow-up time in SOLVD was more than 3x longer. Limitations to external validity in this trial include the run-in period and stringent inclusion and exclusion criteria. Our enthusiasm is also tempered by early stopping, which has been found to be associated with false positive or exaggerated results but this concern is mitigated to some extent in this trial because the rules for early stopping were clearly defined in the protocol.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication.

In the latest JACC offering from EuroPCR, JACC Associate Editor Celina M. Yong, MD, FACC, interviews Dr. Ashkan Eftekhari, PhD, to discuss insights into his study, Biolimus-Eluting Biomatrix Stent Versus a Dual-Therapy Sirolimus-Eluting Stent in PCI: SORT OUT XI Randomized Trial. The biolimus A9-eluting BioMatrix Alpha stent (BES), has not been compared with another contemporary drug eluting stent. This study compared one-year target lesion failure (TLF) in BES versus the dual-therapy sirolimus-eluting Combo stent (DTS) in an all-comer population undergoing PCI. A total of 3,136 patients were randomized 1:1 to either BES or DTS. The primary result showed that BES was non-inferior to DTS. Additionally, there was a significantly higher rate of definite stent thrombosis in the BES arm. In conclusion, BES was non-inferior to DTS at one-year follow-up with respect to the primary endpoint, TLF.

The chain of survival for a cardiac emergency and stroke start the same:1. preparedness & recognition of an emergency;2. activation of EMS;3. delivery of Advanced Life Support; and4. transporting to the most appropriate facility.ALS ambulances are staffed with paramedics who have training in ACLS skills.Why EMS "Destination Protocols" for suspected stroke and STEMI make a difference.ACLS's timed benchmarks for:point of first medical contact to PCI for ST elevation MI;door to tPA for ischemic stroke; andonset of symptoms to EVT for LVO strokes.Why EMS should bypass a close hospital to transport a STEMI or suspected stroke patient to a hospital capable of 24/7 PCI or a certified stroke center.Check out the Pod Resource page at passacls.com for links to the "EMS On Air" podcast for links to episodes that look at EMS's role in stroke outcomes in the rural vs urban area.Good luck with your ACLS class!Links: Buy Me a Coffee at https://buymeacoffee.com/paultaylor Practice ECG rhythms at Dialed Medics - https://dialedmedics.com/Free Prescription Discount Card - Download your free drug discount card to save money on prescription medications for you and your pets: https://safemeds.vipPass ACLS Web Site - Episode archives & other ACLS-related podcasts: https://passacls.com@Pass-ACLS-Podcast on LinkedIn

Key Takeaways:AI can be viewed as a necessity for growth to drive both cost savings and revenue growth.Establishing a strong governance framework is crucial for managing risks associated with AI, such as data breaches and compliance with regulations like HIPAA and PCI.AI can be used both reactively to address immediate pain points and proactively to predict and optimize future business operations.While speed and scale are important, startups must ensure they do not compromise on compliance and governance, which are vital for sustainable growth.Developing an AI use policy is a best practice to guide internal and external applications of AI, ensuring responsible and effective usage.

(This episode originally aired on October 22, 2024.) For years, the best word to describe Medicare Advantage (MA) was “untouchable.” Hugely popular among seniors, profitable for health plans—the hybrid public-private payment model grew to the point that it now covers more seniors than traditional Medicare. But in the past few years, the tide has started to change. And if you've been paying attention in recent months, you'll have seen headlines announcing that payers that are scaling back their MA offerings and providers are exiting MA contracts. The MA market has gone from “untouchable” to “volatile.” The question is: why is this happening, and what does it mean for payers, providers, and seniors moving forward? In this episode, hosts Rachel (Rae) Woods and Abby Burns invite health plan experts Max Hakanson and Chelsea Needham to dissect what is going on in MA and how plans and providers are—or should be—navigating the changing tide.

(This episode originally aired on October 22, 2024.) For years, the best word to describe Medicare Advantage (MA) was “untouchable.” Hugely popular among seniors, profitable for health plans—the hybrid public-private payment model grew to the point that it now covers more seniors than traditional Medicare. But in the past few years, the tide has started to change. And if you've been paying attention in recent months, you'll have seen headlines announcing that payers that are scaling back their MA offerings and providers are exiting MA contracts. The MA market has gone from “untouchable” to “volatile.” The question is: why is this happening, and what does it mean for payers, providers, and seniors moving forward? In this episode, hosts Rachel (Rae) Woods and Abby Burns invite health plan experts Max Hakanson and Chelsea Needham to dissect what is going on in MA and how plans and providers are—or should be—navigating the changing tide.

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster, provides a concise summary of the May 13, 2025 issue. He discusses four original studies on key cardiovascular topics, including the impact of chronic kidney disease and obesity on heart failure, the role of dobutamine stress echocardiography in predicting PCI outcomes, the effects of empagliflozin on erythropoiesis in heart failure, and the influence of adiposity, insulin resistance, and diabetes in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. He highlights emerging insights into treatment strategies and ongoing challenges in understanding these complex cardiovascular conditions. Concluding with a separate review on anthracycline cardiotoxicity in cancer patients.

In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a groundbreaking study from the Orbiter 2 trial, which explores how dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) can predict the efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in relieving angina in patients with stable coronary artery disease. The study reveals that the degree of ischemia, as measured by DSE, is strongly correlated with improvement in symptoms, offering new insights into patient selection for PCI treatment.
