It's the shot we all play for: that big, fluffy, juicy floater hanging in the air, begging to be put away. So why do so many players blow it? In this episode, Michael O'Neal and Mircea Morariu dig into one of pickleball's most mismanaged opportunities, the floater, and break down exactly what goes wrong and how to fix it. From collapsing on the space (or as Mircea prefers, pouncing) to limiting your backswing, keeping your arm in your peripheral vision, and aiming at that safe elliptical target in the middle of the court rather than hero-ing it down the line, this episode is packed with technique, drills, and hard-won lessons. Including Michael's very painful memory of a floater that cost him a tournament game at 10-10. Yeah. That one. If you've ever ripped a floater into the net, watched it sail four feet wide, or worse, let it bounce when you had every chance to finish the point, this episode is for you.

Democrats want to exploit the war in Iran to claim they're the Affordability Party. Trump bluntly answered a Daily Caller question by saying Americans' financial situation didn't matter “not even a little bit” in his negotiating with Iran to end the war. “They can't have a nuclear weapon.” 

Previously on Saga of the Jewels…The life of seventeen-year-old RYN, bookish son of a wealthy landowner, changes forever when his hometown is destroyed by the EMPIRE and everyone he has ever known is killed. Ryn discovers that the Empire are seeking TWELVE PRIMEVAL JEWELS which grant the power to manipulate different elements, and that his father had been hiding the FIRE RUBY. He sets out to take revenge on the Imperial General who killed his family and retrieve the Fire Ruby, and along the way meets NUTHEA the lightning-slinging princess, SAGAR the swaggering skypirate, ELRANN the tomboy engineer, CID the wizened old healer, and VISH the poppy-seed-addicted bounty hunter. Together the companions decide to find all of the Jewels in order to stop the EMPEROR from finding them first and taking over the world. They have thus far succeeded in retrieving the Fire Ruby, borne by Ryn, and the Lightning Crystal, borne by Nuthea. They have now come to the land of FARR where they intend to compete in a hand-to-hand fighting tournament in order to attempt to win its prize, the EARTH EMERALD…EPISODE THIRTY-NINE: THE TOURNAMENT: QUARTER FINAL TWO: SAGAR OF IMFIS VS. HIUNA OF FARRTen minutes earlier.Sagar strode out of the dugout shoulder to shoulder with his opponent.He felt almost naked without his coat and swords, but his shirt and trousers would have to do.As they reached the open air of the little concourse that led from the tunnel mouth to the stone tiles of the arena, people must have spotted them, because a wave of cheers and applause from the thousands-strong Farrian crowd swelled to greet them……then subsided again to about half its original volume, breaking into a buzz of confused chatter.No wonder, Sagar thought as he stepped onto the arena floor and began to make his way over to one side of it. I'm not a Farrian, after all; I'm another ‘filthy foreigner' you weren't expecting–just like the pup was.And his opponent was a Farrian–but she was also a woman. As far as Sagar understood, women did not normally become monks, or fight, in Farrian culture, as was quite right and proper. How this woman had managed to progress to the quarter finals, he had no idea. Maybe she had had a free pass like him, Ryn and Vish for some reason.He regarded her where she took her place now opposite him about fifteen paces away on the other side of the arena, standing in a simple stance with two fists bunched and knuckles-down on either side of the top of her hips. She wore a leaf-green robe liked the baldies did, tied with an earth-brown sash at her waist. Her build was slight and slender. Like all Farrian women she had dark hair, except it was cut short like a Dokanese man's. Only the femininity of her cheekbones betrayed her as a woman, but had you not been told you might be forgiven for mistaking her for a man.Why do I always get paired up with these women who act like men? Sagar thought. It was like someone was trying to teach him something. At least hopefully this one won't also turn out to be my long-lost sister.He had begrudgingly learned not to underestimate women who looked a bit like men from his experience with Elrann. But Elrann had so far only beaten men in drinking competitions (probably by cheating) and only been able to make a laughing stock of him when she had her firearms at her disposal. Elrann had never fought him hand-to-hand, and Sagar knew that if she ever did, he would win. Just like he was going to win in this fight against this Farrian woman.Because if there was one thing that growing up on his father's skyship had taught him, it was how to fight, with a sword–or without one. He hadn't needed the scumsucker's ridiculous ‘training'.So I'm sorry, little Farrian girl, he thought, still regarding her with his exposed eye, but there's not going to be any glory, or prize money, or Jewels for you today. Those belong to me.“Ready?” the announcer said to him.Sagar nodded, smiling.His opponent did the same.“Then…...FIGHT!” The announcer shouted the word so loud it rang out over the crowd, then immediately rushed off to the sand that bordered the side of the arena to get out of the way.The woman standing across from Sagar pointed a finger at him and called out in a loud, theatrical, somewhat angry voice:“Sagar of Imfis! My name is Hiuna of Farr, and I am going to win this tournament! My whole life I have sought to prove my right to fight alongside men, and in this tournament I am going to do just that, first by defeating you, Sagar of Imfis!”Sagar winced at the repetition of his name. Did she have to underscore that, when he was a man wanted by the Empire? The woman, ‘Hiuna', had shouted loud enough for the whole audience to hear. They went quiet in the wake of her strange announcement, tensing to see what would happen next.“Er…okay?” Sagar said at a normal volume. Who did she think she was to challenge him, a fearsome pirate skycaptain? “Show me what you've got, then,” he invited, beckoning with a finger.And then Hiuna was sprinting straight at him.“HA!” She gave an aggressive yell, then leapt into the air, aiming a flying side-on kick at Sagar's chest.He got his hand up in time to deflect it as he stepped to one side out of the way, but boy did it hit hard as it glanced off his palm, sending a ripple of shock down his arm.Hiuna landed, then immediately sprang back up and launched a barrage of punches at him. High. High. Low. Middle. High.Sagar blocked or dodged all of them, then jumped backwards to put some space in between him and the woman and buy himself some more time.But she didn't give him any. She ran forward at once, closing the gap, came in with another kick, another flurry of punches, more kicks.Sagar blocked them all, tendons tightening in his neck from the effort.Hiuna came out of a roundhouse kick and continued rotating with her body, spinning around with a wicked surprise punch aimed at Sagar's stomach.Time slowed.Sagar could see that he was going to be able to block the punch in time, but it was coming towards him with such force that the impact of it might just knock him backwards all the same…backwards and out of the arena, the perimeter of which Hiuna had driven him to with her barrage of strikes.His instincts activated.Just before the punch connected, Sagar summoned the wind.A localised gust of air rushed from the open palm with which he had been about to block the woman's punch, so forcefully that it stopped her fist in mid-air, then pushed it–and her–backwards.Sagar stepped into the gust and drove his palm forwards to conceal his wind attack, connecting with Hiuna's hand as it moved backwards and making it look as if he had somehow blocked her blow and followed through with a counter-strike in the same rapid movement.He extended his arm fully, and Hiuna went staggering back a few paces towards the centre of the arena, grunting, almost losing her footing and falling over.She regained her balance, then came back into a fighting stance, this time with her two fists held out in front of her ready to fend off whatever Sagar might throw at her next.But Sagar did not follow up with another attack…yet.He was trying to work out if he could win this without more obviously resorting to his wind power, or ‘projection', or whatever the princess called it.She had pushed him to use it so soon. Much sooner than he had anticipated needing to use it in this tournament.The Farrian's delicate face was still fixed in an angry frown of determination, but now her brows crinkled even further, betraying puzzlement.She knows something is amiss.“You have some skill!” Sagar called out so the nearby audience members would be able to hear, deciding to follow up with a verbal assault, “I'll grant you that. Not bad, not bad at all, especially for a woman who wants to be a man!”A few snickers fluttered across the crowd, reaching Sagar's keen ears. He needed to keep up this momentum.“But you're still outmatched, I'm afraid!” he yelled, baiting her for all she was worth. “I'll make quick work of you, woman!”“You got lucky, foreigner!” Hiuna shot back. Sweat beaded on her forehead. Good. “I almost had you beaten in ten strikes! You got a lucky hit in, somehow! I won't let that happen again!”Pounce when they least expect it, rang a remembered voice in Sagar's head. The voice of the man he hadn't known was his father until it had been time for him to say goodbye. When they're most riled up and ready, that's when you get the jump on them. It supposedly applied to bedding, but also to fighting.Sagar bounded forward, coming on with a vicious right hook aimed at the woman's head.She got her forearm up to block it, and he followed up with a left jab, which she smacked out of the way with her other hand.He kept the pressure up, bombarding her with more punches. She blocked three more, then danced out of the way of the next.Damn it, he thought as he kept up the barrage, unable to land a hit. She is skilled. And surprisingly strong. He wished that he could take off his eye patch to see with both eyes. He would have to resort to his other trick again.He counted one, two, three more useless punches, then suddenly crouched and spun, whipping out his leg like a dog flicking out its tail, bringing it around in a low, sweeping kick.As he did so he summoned the wind to assist him so that he spun round impossibly fast, his kick moving with the speed of a gale. A small whooshing noise followed his leg round.He felt the kick connect with the woman's legs before he saw it happen. The back of his calf blossomed with brief impact as he swept her legs out from underneath her and she went over on her back, smacking against the stone with a satisfying slap.Sagar came up immediately and sprang forwards, aiming a gut-punch at her prone form.Before he landed, the woman rolled to the side and out of the way, and he punched the air where she had just been, pulling back just in time to stop his knuckles from hitting the stone of the arena floor.He watched as the woman kept rolling, then pushed herself up from the ground with her hands and, keeping her momentum, twirled around several times in the air, before landing in her double-fisted fighting stance again some distance away.Well, that was pretty impressive, he supposed.The woman scowled at him, more furious than ever.“What are you doing?!” she called out. “I am your better many times over, and yet you keep scoring surprise hits on me! You are cheating, somehow, foreigner!”Sagar shrugged exaggeratedly, making a show of it. “You can think that if you like, lady! Whatever helps you to feel better about yourself!”“Raaargh!” she cried out in anger and rushed at him again, arriving with a furious punch which he parried. She kept on at him, throwing strike after strike, so that Sagar had to consistently use the wind to speed up his responses, to nudge himself out of the way of an attack, to nudge her slightly away from him.She was throwing everything he had at him, making him sweat now, too.And it would have been enough…were it not for his special ability.Sagar pushed one of her high punches further up, past his shoulder, then saw an opening. Her stomach was exposed.He brought his knee up hard, even harder than he could normally, by propelling it with a gust of air.Spittle and a humiliating “Urk!” issued from the woman's mouth as she took the hit, then flew backwards through the air and landed on her back on the arena floor again.The skypirate turned away out of embarrassment for her.To his great delight, the crowd was cheering his name.“SA-GAR! SA-GAR! SA-GAR!”Apparently they knew a good fighter when they saw one, ‘filthy foreigner' or not.“One!” someone yelled. The announcer beginning his count.“Save your breath,” Sagar said to him where he knelt in the sand at the edge of the arena near to where Hiuna had landed. “I hit her very hard. She won't be getting up any time soon.”“Two!” called the announcer.He turned back to the crowd and started motioning with his hands for them to cheer louder. They obliged him.“SA-GAR! SA-GAR!”He clasped his hands together and held them aloft, shaking them together to proclaim himself the champion.“Thre–oh!”The crowd gasped all of a sudden.“Huh?”Sagar spun round just in time to see Hiuna running towards him.She barrelled into him, grabbing hold of his arms and headbutting him in the face.Pain erupted across Sagar's nose. He went over backwards, the woman still gripping his arms.His hit the ground and on instinct rolled to the side, immediately hoping to pin Hiuna down just as she had tried to do to him.Instead they kept rolling across the arena floor, shoulders banging against the stone, as the woman kept converting their momentum into another roll, and he did the same in turn.Eventually, their momentum ran out, and Sagar found that he didn't quite have the strength left to bring her over in one final roll.He sank back against the stone, banging his head. The woman lay on top of him, her face close to his, bright bands of pain around his forearms where she still held them tight.Damn, but she's surprisingly strong.“I don't know what trick you were pulling, foreigner,” Hiuna growled, huffing and puffing right in his face, expression furious and determined, “but I'd like to see you try it while I'm holding onto you.” Her breath smelled of jasmine.Sagar tried to think up a response, but found that his mind–and his body–had suddenly become very distracted by something.He had a woman on top of him. This was the first time he had ever had a woman on top of him.He had dreamed about it plenty of times, of course, but this was the first time he had ever had a real woman on top of him. In real life. Reality. A woman.And she was quite beautiful, if you took the time to notice. Her cheek-lines had a kind of delicate defiance to them, and her eyes burned with a green fire.And through his shirt, through her robe and under-garment, he could feel pressing up against him the unmistakable shapes of two small, but nonetheless round and firm, breasts.His loins stirred. So what if apparently he had a thing for women that looked a bit like men? At least she was still a woman.Hiuna must have noticed something was happening because her frown deepened. A very pretty frown, really, if you took the time to notice. Above pink, inviting lips.The woman's face was just inches away from Sagar's.He tilted his head up a little, closed his eyes, and kissed her on the mouth.He felt her body tense with surprise. Then, after a moment, to his own surprise and delight, she relaxed, and kissed him back.A hot, sticky kiss. A passionate, heat-of-the-moment, wrestling-on-the-arena-floor sort of kiss.His first ever kiss.“Five!” the announcer shouted somewhere above them.What?Sagar managed to ignore his shock and continue kissing Hiuna, but only barely.“Six!”The announcer had started the count and he hadn't even noticed. That's right, he was being pinned to the ground, after all!Was that why Hiuna was kissing him back? To keep him pinned down?“Seven!”But if she was doing that, then why had she also relaxed her grip on his arms?“Eight!”Did he even want to win this tournament any more, or had he found something–someone–better to preoccupy himself with?“Nine!”But she might just be trying to win too. What was he thinking?! Of course he wanted to win this tournament. Death or glory!He brought his free hands in under Hiuna's stomach.Her eyes opened wide and her face spasmed, breaking the kiss, just before...Sagar pushed upwards.As he did so, he projected a gust of air, and managed to get his feet up and under her too to lend the appearance of a double-footed kick helping her on her way.Hiuna flew backwards off of him, over his head.Sagar managed to scramble up and twist his body around in time to see her arms and legs flailing wildly as she described a high arc through the air, turning over a couple of times, then landed with a thump in the sand to the side of the arena.“Out of bounds!” the announcer yelled immediately. “Sagar of Imfis wins!”The crowd roared.No sooner than he saw her hit the ground, a dread weight tugged down at Sagar's guts, and his head went foggy and dizzy.What was this feeling?Oh, poodoo.He hadn't recognised it at first because he wasn't used to feeling it.It was guilt.He had made the wrong decision.Had he? Hiuna had only been kissing him back in order to keep him pinned in place, hadn't she? Or had she?He sprinted across the arena floor to where she was standing up and brushing herself down, face set in grim fury.“Hiuna,” he said when he reached her, ignoring the announcer who was squawking something behind him. “I'm sorry!” The unfamiliar sound of his own apology astonished even himself, but he meant it. “I didn't mean to–”“Don't!” Hiuna burst out at him, voice atremble. She began to run towards the dugout, covering her face with her hands. Was she crying?“Wait!”Sagar ran after her, following her into the dugout. This is a public episode.

Neurologic complications of substance use may be the first symptoms that lead patients with substance use disorders to seek care. Neurologists have a key role in identifying patients with substance use disorders and connecting them to treatment. In this episode, Lyell K. Jones Jr, MD, FAAN, speaks with Adeline L. Goss, MD, author of the article "Neurologic Complications of Drug and Alcohol Use" in the Continuum® February 2026 Neurology of Systemic Disease issue. Dr. Jones is the editor-in-chief of Continuum: Lifelong Learning in Neurology® and is a professor of neurology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Dr. Goss is a neurohospitalist and associate chief of neurology for Highland Hospital in Oakland, California.

Patients can show up with all kinds of mysterious symptoms. Sometimes the diagnosis comes from within, some internal disruption of neurophysiology. But sometimes the problem is a complication of drug or alcohol use. Today we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr Adeline Goss, who recently authored an article for Continuum on this exact problem, a topic all neurologists need to be familiar with. Dr Jones: This is Dr Lyell Jones, Editor-in-Chief of Continuum. Thank you for listening to Continuum Audio. Be sure to visit the links in the episode notes for information about earning CME, subscribing to the journal, and exclusive access to interviews not featured on the podcast. Dr Jones: This is Dr Lyell Jones, Editor-in-Chief of Continuum: Lifelong Learning in Neurology. Today I'm interviewing Dr Adeline Goss, who recently authored an article on the neurologic complications of drug and alcohol use for our latest issue of Continuum on the neurology of systemic disease. Dr Goss is a neurohospitalist and the associate chief of neurology at Highland Hospital in Oakland, California. She's also an accomplished writer, broadcaster and podcaster. Dr Goss, welcome, and thank you for joining us today. Why don't you introduce yourself to our listeners? Dr Goss: Great to speak with you, Dr Jones. Yes, I'm Adeline. I also go by Addie Goss. Dr Jones: So, before we get into the discussion, we're going to start off today with something fairly new to the podcast, the Continuum Audio trivia question. So, we all know that alcohol and other substances have many potential complications in that use of these substances fluctuates over time. But this one stood out to me from your article, Dr Goss, just for the sheer size of the change. So, for our listeners, here's the question. Accidental exposures to what substance increased a whopping 1,375% between 2017 and 2021? I'll read that again. Accidental exposures to what substance increased 1,375% between 2017 and 2021? So, stick around to the end of our interview for the answer. And let's get right to it, Dr Goss. If you had a single most important message to our listeners from your article, what would it be? Dr Goss: Well, I mean, many of us went into neurology because of the way that neurologic illnesses can be life-changing for patients. And I work as a neurohospitalist at a public hospital in Oakland, California. Many of my patients are admitted for neurologic conditions related to substance use. And when I see my patients later in the discharge clinic, many tell me that the last day that they used meth or the last day they used cocaine, the last day they smoked, was the day they had their stroke or whatever they came into the hospital for. I think the most important message is that hospitalization for a neurologic condition related to substance use can interrupt use patterns, can motivate change. And therefore, as neurologists, we really have an opportunity to connect to our patients and connect our patients to substance use treatment and make a dramatic difference in people's lives in this regard. Dr Jones: I think that's a fantastic point. I enjoyed a point you made in your article---and I can't remember exactly how you phrased it, I won't say it as well---that you think of the syndromes through which alcohol and drug exposures can present. Those syndromes almost always could end up of other primary neurologic disorders. So, put a different way, when a patient presents with a neurologic problem, most of the time an exposure could be on the differential.  And so, we really do have a responsibility as neurologists to be familiar with these. Dr Goss: To be familiar with these and to know how to connect patients to resources to try to get treatment. Dr Jones: Totally agree. And you touched on the public health aspect of this. It's really hard to talk about drug or alcohol use without acknowledging the public health impact particularly of opioids, which has been a crisis for most of this century. Right? And I think most of our listeners will be familiar with the rapid rise in opioid-related deaths. But there might be a glimmer of optimism there. Is what I've seen true, that opioid-related deaths may have plateaued? Dr Goss: So, yes, it's true that opioid-related deaths, overdose deaths in general, have begun to decline, actually, since 2023. And that's in part because overdose deaths really surged early on in the Covid-19 pandemic, in the setting of all of the social disruption, reduced access to services, and social isolation that occurred with the pandemic. But there were really multiple factors there. So, as you mentioned, there was this really rapid rise in illicitly manufactured fentanyl. Fentanyl became a major driver in overdose deaths starting in the mid-2010s. And by the late 2010s, it overtook heroin and prescription opioids as drivers of overdose deaths. And then this just collided with the pandemic in 2020, causing skyrocketing deaths. So, as we know as neurologists, fentanyl is more potent, it's shorter-acting, and it's also cheaper than heroin. It can cost as little as 50 cents or a dollar a pill. Thankfully, as services have rebooted and also as naloxone has become more widely distributed, there has begun to be a decline in opioid overdose-related deaths. So, we're relying on provisional data from the CDC for the most recent years, but that shows about a 24% decline in annual overdose deaths, comparing late 2023 to late 2024. And that's real. That comes out to 70 lives saved per day. Unfortunately, deaths still remain above prepandemic levels, and we're still talking about 87,000 drug overdoses per year. So, I would agree, a glimmer of hope. But we're still seeing overdose as the leading cause of death among young Americans aged 18 to 44. And there's a very long way to go. Dr Jones: 23% is a big number, and that is certainly exciting to think about, but we're still above that long-term secular trend. So, hopefully whatever is happening to bring that down, hopefully it continues. And we talk a lot about- appropriately, we talk a lot about opioid exposures and some of the neurologic presentations of opioid use and toxicity, but alcohol use disorder is the most common substance use disorder, correct? I learned that from your article. And it has been for some time, and it has well-known acute and chronic toxicities. But I think many of us have been taught something of a myth in the acute treatment of patients who may have thiamin deficiency or Wernicke's encephalopathy. Can you tell us a little more about that? Dr Goss: Yeah, sure. So, boy, what is my favorite vitamin? As a neurologist, I think thiamin is my favorite vitamin. Thiamin is a cofactor in- for several enzymes that are involved in glucose catabolism. And it's necessary to synthesize myelin and several neurotransmitters. And as we know, alcohol use disorder leads to reduced nutritional intake and impaired digestion and absorption of nutrients. And this can lead to deficiencies in water-soluble B vitamins, including thiamin, as well as trace elements. The thing about thiamin is that thiamin deficiency often appears first, because the body's stores of thiamin deplete in about 4 to 6 weeks. You know, we're traditionally taught if a patient presents with symptoms concerning for Wernicke's encephalopathy, that if they're also hypoglycemic or just in general, we have to get glucose into them first, because we don't want to tax these thiamin-dependent glucose catabolism pathways. But really, there's no reported case of a single glucose bolus precipitating some dramatic symptomatic thiamin deficiency. It's thought that harm would come potentially from prolonged carbohydrate administration without thiamin. And so, if a patient in front of you is both thiamin deficient and hypoglycemic, you just treat both. You treat both emergently. But it doesn't really matter in what order you do so. Dr Jones: That's good to know that doing the right thing for the patient can involve using either of those in whatever order. And I agree with you, I don't think I've ever hurt anybody by giving them thiamin. It's an easy one to miss and an important one to remember in the right context. And speaking of, and I think a lot about in your article, Dr Goss, I can see a neurologist seeing a patient in the emergency department or in the hospital or even in the clinic thinking about the wonderful points in your article. But we know that when alcohol or substance use enters our mind on the differential, the next impulse is to test for it. And we also know there are pitfalls of drug screening, doing urine drug screens, etc. How do you approach testing when you think about a potential drug-related complication in their differential? Dr Goss: So, like most people, I would start with a urine drug screen for any patient who's presenting with a possible toxidrome or some substance-related neurological presentation. These urine drug screens, they're rapid, they're inexpensive, they're immunoassays for traditional drugs and their metabolites. So, usually amphetamines, cocaine, opiates, plus/minus cannabis. But I think the first thing to note is that they miss entire categories of drugs, and not just drugs that are not in that list. They miss synthetic opioids, including fentanyl. One group is keeping track of this number. So, I have an update for mid-2025. And that's that 30% of U.S. ED overdose encounters as of mid-2025 included fentanyl testing. Only 30% for patients who are presenting with an overdose syndrome. Dr Jones: And that's for one of the most widely used synthetic opioids. So that's really a striking number. Dr Goss: Yeah, one of the most widely used and one with the greatest rate of complications. So, states can make a difference here. In 2022, California passed a law requiring fentanyl testing on hospital urine drug screens and several states have followed. And so that number is rising, the rate of testing for fentanyl. But that's just a really key thing to know, that that one is often missed. Other just important pitfalls, the timing of the urine drug screen matters because for most substances, it only picks up the drug within 24 to 72 hours after the last use. With amphetamines and cocaine going out a couple more days after that, especially in patients who use repeatedly. And then also, notably, there's a risk of false positives. This is especially true with amphetamine use, and beta blockers are one of the drugs that can lead to false positives on an amphetamine test, on a urine drug screen. So, I'll share that I've had several patients who have presented with intracerebral hemorrhage and who tested positive on the emergency department's urine drug screen and who adamantly stated that they do not use amphetamines, they've never used amphetamines, and they didn't ingest anything that could have contained amphetamines. And when we did serum confirmatory testing, in fact, their amphetamine testing was negative, and all those patients had received esmelol or the labetalol in the ED to treat their blood pressure related to their ICH. So false positives can occur with, you know, other medications like decongestants and certain antidepressants. But beta blockers are a key one to know. And then finally, there are just a number of things outside of that short list of substances that I mentioned, including a huge range of novel psychoactive substances that would not be tested for on a standard urine drug screen. And for those, you'd require serum testing, or at some large academic centers or specialty toxicology labs, you can actually do liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry, with- which is basically unbiased testing for any substance that's present in the patient sample. So, I guess, you know, you asked about my approach. Start with the urine drug screen, but there's no substitute for good history-taking and close examination of your patient's general examination, not just their neurologic presentation. And if patients are presenting with a toxidrome that I would expect would show up on a urine drug screen but it's negative, there are other confirmatory tests that can be sent, although they're often send-out labs and come back in a very delayed fashion. Dr Jones: So, in other words, it's complicated, which usually means it's humbling. And if I'm understanding it correctly, there's the risk of the false positive on the urine drug screen. And then there's the risk of the false negative if we think we're screening for something that might not even be on that initial screen. So, that's a wonderful reminder that these are clinical diagnoses and we have to keep our clinician hats on while we're thinking about how to establish these diagnoses or exclude them. So, back to opioids, Dr Gross. There are some really peculiar neurologic syndromes associated with opioid overdose. Tell us a little about those. Dr Goss: Well, I mean, some of these were described first with heroin. So, we can start with the one that almost anybody has heard of, heroin-associated spongiform leukoencephalopathy, which we know is associated with a practice known as "chasing the dragon," which is inhaling vapors of heroin heated on foil. But we know now that this syndrome can occur with other opioids, including fentanyl. The clinical features are, you know, apathy, cerebellar signs, quadriparesis, parkinsonism, myoclonus, and some patients progress to coma or even death. But on MRI you're seeing, you know, these confluence symmetric white matter diffusion restriction and T2 hyperintensities in the cerebellar white matter and the posterior limb of the internal capsule that spare the subcortical U-fibers. So, you know, I think this is kind of the classic example of something that's symmetric, that has a very obvious and interesting MRI pattern. But as time is passing, we're seeing more and more similar types of syndromes of leukoencephalopathies, but with different clinical presentations and MRI characteristics. So, another of these is CHANTER syndrome. This is an opioid overdose-related presentation where people have stupor and coma. And on the MRI there, you see bilateral symmetric diffusion restriction in the cerebellar cortex, in the hippocampi, in the basal ganglia. And it spares the cerebral cortex. And notably in these cases, patients can progress to cerebellar edema, to obstructive hydrocephalus. And some require suboccipital craniotomy. I had a week recently at Highland Hospital, where I work, where we had two of these cases in the same week, in just a community hospital. And there's a similar syndrome in children known as POUNCE syndrome with profound cerebellar edema, and many patients require posterior decompression. So that's another different distribution of findings with a different outcome. Fortunately, there's a milder sort of phenotype of opioid-associated amnestic syndrome, is what it's been described, where there's primarily DWI changes in the hippocampi and the globus pallidus. So, patients primarily present with an amnestic syndrome, mostly anterograde amnesia. Seeing these in practice, I'm not sure that patients always fall into one bucket or another. But in general, you'll see some degree of symmetric diffusion restriction or symmetric white matter changes that clearly point to a toxic presentation, a toxic syndrome, as opposed to pure anoxia, for example. And it's important to know that because from a prognostic standpoint, anoxic brain injury, which can occur after cardiac arrest and after opioid overdose, can look different than some of these syndromes. Finally, heroin has been associated with myelopathy, but also that's been reported on with fentanyl. So, I think some of these conditions got their reputation from heroin. But as fentanyl has proliferated---and prior to that as prescription opioid, you know, misuse had proliferated---we're seeing similar syndromes with all of the opiates. Dr Jones: And I think it's a good case in point that you can have multifocal disease and it be a manifestation of an intoxication, and I think that's a really good reminder that we have to have many of these syndromes in our differential, we have to be aware of them, otherwise we might miss them or attribute them to another mechanism. Dr Goss, our last issue of Continuum that was dedicated to the neurology of systemic disease came out in 2023, and here we are in 2026 publishing our latest issue, including your article and this podcast. Since 2023, have there been any emerging patterns or novel agents of abuse or misuse out there? Dr Goss: The short answer is yes, and I would say the reason is just the supply is moving at more and more rapid speed. The relationship between the internet and drug supply has really informed what's out there at any given moment. So, the turnover in the market can change in weeks, not in years. And there's all of this distribution through social media and encrypted apps. And then manufacturers are kind of continuously tweaking chemical structures to evade law enforcement. In the process of researching this article, I came across some, I mean, really wild examples. To be clear, these are not- not all these are common substances, but I think the general phenomenon should be known that people can walk into a vape shop or walk into a gas station or meander around online and buy some really weird stuff. So, in 2024, there was this nationwide recall of a product called Diamond Shrooms that was sold online and in smoke and vape shops, and this was billed as, like, a hemp and mushroom mixture. But it led to multiple- I mean, over 100 cases of seizures and agitation and depressed consciousness and a few possible deaths. And when the contents were analyzed, they included psilocybin analogs and pregabalin. I mean, some weird stuff. And so, those have been pulled. But people are constantly inventing and marketing these different substances. I think another example… we all know about nitrous oxide and its association with B12 myopathy. But the use of nitrous oxide has really changed. Companies are selling large canisters online and in vape shops, and they're flavored, like, in blue raspberry flavor. And unfortunately, there's been a rise of nitrous among youth. So, we're seeing not just increased cases of myelopathy, but also a 2025 study in JAMA found a spike in deaths attributed to actual nitrous oxide overdose. And so nitrous, I think, had not been that commonly used a few years ago, but has become more common in the last couple of years. A final one I'll just mention is ketamine. So, ketamine has certainly appeared in reviews of neurological syndromes related to substance use for a long time, and it's also been studied and used off-label for mood disorders in outpatient infusion clinics for some time. But in the pandemic, there was an expansion in telemedicine, as we know, and an associated proliferation of teleclinics that were prescribing very frequent, even daily oral and lozenge and nasal formulations of ketamine, which has led to increased rates of misuse. So, you know, acutely, the syndrome associated with ketamine intoxication is very brief. And often by the time people come to the emergency department, their symptoms have already worn off. But long-term, frequent use of ketamine is really still being studied. There seems to be an association with persistent neuropsychiatric effects like cognitive impairment, psychosis, persistent depressive symptoms. And so, you know, I think it's just important to realize that while the list of substances may look pretty similar to 2023, the use patterns, the distribution patterns are continuing to change. It's hard to keep up. And while alcohol and opioids and stimulants are by far the most common substances that a neurologist is going to encounter in daily practice, there's this ever-expanding range of possible substances that can trigger neurologic syndromes, both acute and chronic. Dr Jones: And I think that might be the best possible plug to read your article, because it is evolving and we have to stay on top of it. And we really can't be complacent with it. So, thank you for that update. Okay, back to our trivia question. Accidental exposures to what substance increased a whopping 1,375% between 2017 and 2021? Dr Goss, what do you think? Dr Goss: That was THC-infused edibles. Specifically, these would be THC-infused substances that are often marketed as looking like candy or snacks or cereal. Exactly what a kid might want to get their hands on. And unfortunately, accidental cannabis exposures in children under age five went up by 1,375% between 2017 and 2021, and 600 of those patients required critical care admission. Dr Jones: Yeah. So, just a mind-blowing number, and obviously something for us to be on the lookout for, especially if you see children in your practice and someone comes in with CNS depression or stupor, it's one to not miss. So that was something I learned in reading your article, among many other things. And Dr Goss, I want to thank you for joining us. I want to thank you for such a great discussion. I learned a lot from reading your article, I learned a lot just from our conversation today, and I suspect our readers and our listeners will too. Dr Goss: What a pleasure. Thank you so much, Dr Jones. Dr Jones: Again, we've been speaking with Dr Adeline Gross, author of a fantastic article on neurologic complications of drug and alcohol use in our latest issue of Continuum on the neurology of systemic disease.

The Tennessee special election added Republican Congressman Matt Van Epps to expand the majority to 220 Republicans and 213 Democrats. It was a victory for Republicans but the low voter turnout is creating some anxiety heading into 2026 midterms. Right now is the perfect opportunity for Republicans to take the health care issue out of the hands of Democrats and do something about the expiring ACA subsidies. President Trump has stated he is open to extending them while continuing to deliver on affordability like lowering the price of prescription drugs. Jim McLaughlin, the president's longtime pollster is worried that if healthcare subsidies lapse Trump voters will actually vote with Democrats on this issue. Republicans will need to move on healthcare and affordability or they will surrender the 2026 midterms. In a shocking turn of events, ABC actually reported something that was true. The debate over the second the strike on the drug boat was put to bed last night. Martha Raddatz reported that the survivorts climbed back onto the boat, were in communication with others and trying to salvage the drugs.

Did you ever watch Animal Planet or one of those animal videos that show a lion or some type of predator watching a herd of animals just waiting for one to leave the herd? The predator literally lays in wait just biding time until one of those unsuspecting animals walks away from the herd just enough to be vulnerable, and as soon as they get away from the protection of the herd, the predator attacks. This is what Paul is warning Timothy about and he tells him, “Timothy, guard what God has entrusted to you.”

Rather than criticize the inexcusable actions of a Tacoma teacher, the city's newspaper is blaming conservatives for pointing it out. Black signature gatherer bewildered as woke white Washingtonians call him a “racist” and a “bigot.” Turns out the plastic bag ban is actually bad for the environment. Is there no low in American politics?

In this episode, we dive into the tangled web of politics, scandals, and selective outrage surrounding Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Over the weekend, Speaker Mike Johnson came out swinging—arguing that Trump not only distanced himself from Epstein early on but even cooperated with the FBI in efforts to expose him. Johnson emphasized Trump's compassion for Epstein's victims and his frustration that Democrats are now weaponizing the issue for political gain, despite doing nothing with Epstein records during Biden's DOJ tenure. But the story doesn't stop there. Confusion over whether Trump was technically an “FBI informant,” Democrats claiming they've finally found a “gotcha,” and Trump's own camp overhyping promised Epstein document dumps that fell flat have all combined into what some are calling a self-inflicted wound. The president maintains he has “clean hands,” yet critics argue the messaging has been muddled and politically costly. We also spotlight how Democrats and their media allies exploit these scandals to distract from their failures—while conveniently ignoring new revelations in the Epstein files. And just when you thought it couldn't get stranger, we break down a top-10 national headline claiming global warming is making Americans crave more sugar and ice cream. That's right—the same crowd warning of hurricanes, rising seas, and climate collapse now wants you to believe your dessert habits are part of the climate crisis.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – A Democrat congresswoman goes to Mexico and says she's "a proud Guatemalan before I'm an American." Outrage ensues.

BT and Sal are locked in a heated debate about the unthinkable: a trade deadline deal between the New York Yankees and New York Mets. The discussion centers on the Yankees possibly moving outfielder Trent Grisham, with Sal passionately arguing for the Mets to acquire him, highlighting his perfect fit for their needs. BT, however, questions the Yankees' motivation to strengthen a cross-town rival, especially considering potential returns and the impact on the Yankees' own aspirations. The conversation delves into the strategic implications for both teams, weighing short-term gains against long-term rivalries and the prospect of a blockbuster trade that could ignite the city.

HT2300 - Pounce, With the Patience of a Cat We are babysitting some cats this week and I've been watching how fascinated and patient they are watching the bird feeder just outside the living room window. They sit for hours watching, hardly moving. Then, when the opportunity arises, you can see they just want to pounce but for the window between them and their target. Watching them reminded me of advice from David Hearn, the MAGNUM photographer Show your appreciation for our free weekly Podcast and our free daily Here's a Thought… with a donation Thanks!

The Oilers crushed the Dallas Stars 6-1 in Game 3, with Connor McDavid's late second-period goal shifting momentum after a strong Dallas frame. Coach Pete DeBoer admitted that moment deflated the Stars, who have allowed too many prime chances and seen several key forwards go quiet. Stuart Skinner has outplayed Jake Oettinger so far, especially in Game 3, and looks composed and confident. A missed puck-over-glass call on Brett Kulak turned into a pivotal non-penalty, while Petrovic's crushing hit sidelined Connor Brown. DeBoer gave a lukewarm endorsement of Oettinger’s play, as the series enters Edmonton’s window of dominance under Kris Knoblauch in Games 4–7 (16–2 over the last two seasons). Out East, Carolina is down 3–0 to Florida, and with their stars underperforming, hope is fading. Ray highlights Florida’s depth and how players like Forsling and Mikkola—once overlooked—are thriving. Team USA captured the World Hockey Championship, honouring Johnny Gaudreau with a jersey tribute for his dedication to representing his country.

   Oh no..... MS-13 man is a Chiefs fan!   This is just too much as Dems try to bring a wife beating, court ruled gang member illegal alien back from El Salvador where he is a citizen.  A Chiefs fan.  Is this Chiefsaholic's brother?    Champagne Socialists are everywhere these days proving to America they just don't know who we are.    KC resident and podcaster Doug Billings is running for Governor of Kansas and has posted a picture on X that is getting everyone's attention.    The Royals have three games left in Detroit and desperately need a win.  Or a rain out.  Losing these last three could put the Royals over a cliff... in April.  This is urgent to say the least.     Aaron Rodgers wants to play for less than any other QB, Rob Lowe sets a tour operator straight and our Song of the Week is one you know... but you probably don't know the story of it being played live 55 years ago today.
