Bienvenidos al tercer evento en vivo de Pediatras en Línea. Hoy hablamos de un tema que no aparece en los protocolos, pero sí cambia desenlaces: El impacto del acompañamiento emocional en la recuperación pediátrica. Podemos estabilizar signos vitales. Pero también podemos estabilizar emociones. Y cuando hacemos ambas cosas, la medicina se vuelve completa. Y para esta conversación no podíamos tener mejor invitada. Nos acompaña desde Nueva York una mujer que no solo practica medicina crítica, la humaniza. La Dra. Denise Núñez es dominicana-americana, pediatra intensivista y la primera Latina que formó y actualmente es parte del personal de unidad de cuidados intensivos pediátricos de Montefiore Children's Hospital en el Bronx. La Dra. Núñez es fundadora y CEO de Niño de la Caridad, líder comunitaria, defensora de equidad en salud y mentora de la próxima generación de médicas. Ha sido reconocida con el Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award y nombrada una de las 25 mujeres más poderosas por People en Español. Es conferencista, experta en medios (Telemundo, Univision, CNN en Español), cuenta con el podcast "Dr. Denise" y es voz influyente con más de 1.5 millones de seguidores en redes sociales. Pero más allá de los títulos, Denise es una intensivista que entiende que la ciencia salva vidas y la humanidad, las transforma.

Topics: Brant talks with neurosurgeon Dr. Lee Warren about his book The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery. They explore how neuroscience and faith work together to transform our lives. They also discuss anxiety, grief, worship, hope, and the possibilities of changing our brains by changing our thinking. Quotes: "You are not just the patient. You're also the surgeon." "Your thoughts change your brain. Your brain changes your body." "Don't believe everything you think." "We shouldn't spend our lives reacting to things that were never true in the first place." "Abundance isn't freedom from hard circumstances. It's flourishing in spite of them." "What makes it anxiety or excitement is the story you're telling yourself." . . . Holy Ghost Mama Pre-Order!

I sit down with Dr Mev Dominguez, Project Group Leader Inherited and Familial Cancer at the University of Oslo and Director of the Predi Lynch Project. Starting in May 2025, lasting for 6 years, there are 28 partners from 16 European countries acting and working together. Liquid biopsy every year, urine, MSI plus, vaginal swabs, and stool samples will be compiled over 27 clinical centers. Important factors include social and financial acceptability. Open for lynch syndrome patients over age 35 but no cancer for the last year. A biobank will be created, and analysis will be done using AI. Everything should be followed via the Predi-lynch.edu web site.
