Episode #606: Anusorn Tamajai's attempted intervention during Min Aung Hlaing's visit to Thailand began with an undelivered letter. Prevented from placing his proposals directly before Myanmar's military leader, the Thai member of parliament raised his voice instead. The act was spontaneous, but the reasoning behind it was not. “My intention was to demand for peace in Myanmar, and I would like to fight for humanity.” Anusorn favors a democratic federal future for Myanmar rooted in popular participation. Political activity and free expression must be restored, he argues, followed by a genuinely free election; if the military authorities cannot conduct one credibly, he believes an international body such as the United Nations should do so. His support for the Panglong tradition sits inside a wider principle: Myanmar's political order should be determined by its people rather than imposed by an authoritarian government. That principle also governs his view of Thailand. Thai investment that benefits the junta should carry conditions supporting greater freedom and openness, and economic relations should serve ordinary people in both countries rather than privileged corporate or political interests. Thailand should engage political forces beyond the military regime, while people arriving from Myanmar should be treated according to humanitarian obligations. Anusorn wants ASEAN to exert similar pressure, but he recognizes how slowly such mechanisms work. He does not answer that frustration by embracing political shortcuts, but instead advisesthat movements must be built over time, even when success may lie beyond a single lifetime. “You need to build up the movement. It's a long march.” His planned response is to keep organizing, including an ASEAN network supporting democracy, human rights, and peace in Myanmar. The urgency has not disappeared simply because the route is long: Myanmar's people, as he repeatedly insists, have already suffered for too long.

What if Alzheimer's doesn't begin when you start forgetting names or struggling with memory but decades earlier, when subtle changes are happening in your metabolism, inflammation, and brain?   With Alzheimer's in my own family, this conversation with Dr. David Perlmutter felt especially personal. Dr. Perlmutter is a board-certified neurologist, six-time New York Times bestselling author, and one of the leading voices challenging how we think about brain health and cognitive decline. His new book, Brain Defenders, explores emerging research around microglia — the immune cells of the brain — and why they may hold an important key to protecting our brains as we age.   We dive into why Dr. Perlmutter believes we need to start thinking about Alzheimer's prevention in our 30s and 40s, the surprising connection between metabolic health and the brain, and how our everyday choices may influence whether our brain's immune cells protect us or work against us. We also get into the role of ultra-processed foods, blood sugar and insulin, the gut microbiome, environmental toxins, sleep, inflammation, mitochondria, vitamin D, and some of the biomarkers Dr. Perlmutter believes are worth knowing. And for women, we explore what happens to the brain during menopause, the latest conversation around estrogen and hormone replacement therapy, and why women face a greater risk of Alzheimer's.   Dr. Perlmutter also shares fascinating new research that could change how we think about Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS, traumatic brain injury, and other neurological conditions — including why the future of brain health may look very different from the traditional “wait for symptoms, then treat” approach. This episode left me feeling incredibly hopeful about how much influence we may actually have over the future of our brains. If you've ever worried about your memory, your family history, or simply want to stay sharp and resilient as you age, this is a conversation you don't want to miss. Key Moments You'll Love ✨ :

On this week's episode of the PrevenTable, Jenny Armbruster sits down with St. Louis native and Missouri Senator Brian Williams. During his tenure, Sen. Williams has championed legislation that delivers meaningful, measurable impact for Missouri communities. His work revolves around public health, including the expansion of access to lifesaving care for sickle cell anemia patients. His fierce tenacity for serving the under-represented aligns instantaneously with PreventEd's mission of combatting the harms associated with alcohol and substance use.

Can preterm birth be prevented? Historically the answer has been no, and the numbers back that up. In 2006 the U.S. preterm birth rate was about 12 percent. In 2024 it was 10.4 percent. Medicine has gotten dramatically better at keeping premature babies alive, but almost no better at keeping pregnancies from ending early. In this episode, Kristin and Dr. Abdelhak make the case that the answer is yes, preterm birth can be prevented far more often than it is now, and that the field has been looking in the wrong place. Preterm birth is not one condition. It is a grab bag: placental abruption, systemic infection like appendicitis or pyelonephritis, uterine overdistension from twins, triplets, or polyhydramnios, trauma, severe hypertension, stimulant and cocaine use. Every one of those causes announces itself. The woman with triplets is obviously carrying triplets. The woman with an abruption is bleeding and in pain. So what about the woman with none of that, doing everything right, who shows up at 30 weeks contracting and three centimeters dilated? For forty years the answer was "subclinical infection," a diagnosis Dr. Abdelhak takes apart in this episode. If it is subclinical, why is preterm labor the only clinical thing it ever does? Why does an appendicitis start with pain and fever and end in labor, while this mystery infection skips straight to the last step? And after four decades of amniocentesis studies cataloguing cytokines, interleukins, and prostaglandins, where is the treatment? There isn't one, because researchers found exactly what they went looking for. His answer is mechanical, not microbial. The cervix is a timekeeper on the pregnancy. Conventional teaching says contractions open the cervix. He argues it runs the other way: the cervix quietly gives way over weeks, and when it opens far enough, labor starts. That is why he says he is almost never surprised by a preterm labor. He was already watching the cervix shorten. Also covered: why previous preterm birth is the single strongest risk factor (it is the same cervix), why cone biopsy raises risk more than LEEP does, what funneling on ultrasound actually tells you, the difference between classic cervical insufficiency and the milder version that still lets you reach the third trimester, and why a three-hour precipitous labor at 38 weeks may be the same finding wearing a friendlier face. The practical takeaway: serial cervical length measurement for anyone with a red flag, first-time moms included, and cerclage when the cervix starts to open. Screening plus treatment, not a pill for an infection nobody can find. Plus: why the president and Taylor Swift would get their cervix measured every single week, and what that tells you about the standard of care the rest of us are offered. Topics covered, in order Why this topic is worth repeating, and why the framing here is not the conventional one The better question: preventing preterm birth, not preterm labor Fifty years, the March of Dimes, and a rate that has barely moved What we did get better at: neonatal survival and outcomes, not prevention Preterm birth as a grab bag, not a single disease Placental abruption Systemic infection: appendicitis, pyelonephritis, sepsis, severe pneumonia, COVID The subclinical infection theory, and the case against it Why the amniocentesis and cytokine studies found what they set out to find Uterine overdistension: twins, triplets, polyhydramnios Trauma, decidual hemorrhage Severe hypertension, pulsatile flow, and abruption risk before 20 weeks Cocaine, methamphetamine, smoking The patient nobody can explain, and what is actually going on The core claim: dilation causes the contractions, not the other way around Why Dr. Abdelhak is rarely surprised by a preterm labor Mild cervical insufficiency, and "dreamlike" cervical insufficiency at 38 weeks Why previous preterm birth is the number one risk factor LEEP versus cone biopsy, and why cone matters more Normal variation in cervical length, and the big nose analogy Length is not everything: bulk, thickness, and how the cervix feels Funneling on ultrasound as a warning sign The proposal: serial cervical length screening plus cerclage Why the numbers are U.S. numbers, and why international rates are not trustworthy The VIP standard of care, and who actually gets weekly scans Key takeaways Preterm birth is not one condition. Abruption, systemic infection, overdistension, trauma, and severe hypertension each have their own mechanism, and each is usually obvious on arrival. "Subclinical infection" is not a diagnosis, it is a placeholder. Forty years in, it has produced no treatment and no measurable drop in the preterm birth rate. The cervix is the timekeeper. When it is weak, it opens slowly over weeks, and labor follows the opening rather than causing it. Previous preterm birth predicts the next one because it is the same cervix. You cannot order a new one. Cone biopsy raises preterm birth risk more than LEEP, because more cervix is removed. Length is a clue, not a verdict. Plenty of women have naturally short cervixes and carry to term. Funneling, bulk, and change over time matter as much as a single number. The intervention that would move the needle already exists. Serial cervical length measurement in anyone with a risk factor, and cerclage when it starts to open. Screening and treatment, not a mystery pill. Terms mentioned Placental abruption — the placenta separating from the uterine wall before delivery. Pyelonephritis — kidney infection. Polyhydramnios — too much amniotic fluid. Uterine overdistension — the uterus stretched beyond its comfortable capacity, as with twins or triplets. Cervical insufficiency — a cervix that opens without labor. Funneling — the cervix opening from the inside out, visible on ultrasound before any external change. Cerclage — a stitch placed to reinforce the cervix. LEEP and cone biopsy — procedures removing cervical tissue after abnormal Pap or HPV findings. Precipitous labor — a very fast labor, often under three hours. Memorable quotes: "I am telling you what happened was the three centimeters dilated caused the contractions." "If it's subclinical, why doesn't it stay that way?" "The cervix is a mechanical timekeeper on the pregnancy." Got something you want to share or ask? Keep it coming. We love hearing from you.

A group of Pierrefonds residents found records showing that Fleming Street, the road they live on, has had flooding issues dating back to the 1970s. According to their research, the city has known for decades that the sector's sanitary sewer cannot handle intense rainfall. A pumping station proposed in the early 1980s could have saved residents millions of dollars and a lot of grief if it had been built back then. Galia Desautels spoke to Andrew Carter.

This week, PreventEd's Director of Advocacy Adam McBride sits down with Jenny Armbruster to explain the current state of cannabinoids in Missouri. He mentions the need to advocate at all levels of government for true regulation of these products. While licensed dispensaries are the go-to for most, people are still able to purchase misleading and commercially camouflaged cannabinoids at a local gas station. The call to action on this issue has been around since 2018, and, thankfully, Missouri legislation is starting to head in the right direction. Through educational and advocacy opportunities, PreventEd's mission aims to empower young adults to continue to make smart decisions about cannabis use, especially with school starting up soon.

Sritha Rathikindi pulls up a chair at the PrevenTable this week with host Jenny Armbruster to talk about advocacy, especially the promise young people hold. Involved since eighth grade, Sritha has felt a strong calling to prevention and substance misuse. She attended Hear Us: PreventEd's annual advocacy event at the Missouri State Capitol in Jefferson City. She has seen the initiative grow from 6 to almost 30 people over the past year. Currently, she serves on the board of directors as our teen representative. The perspective she provides, not just for PreventEd's board of directors but also for our state legislators, is a crucial element in advocating in our communities for those dealing with substance and alcohol use disorders.

When a disaster is prevented, it doesn't make the news and most don't hear about it; and that's exactly the problem. In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast with Dr. Barry Davis, biostatistician and author of The Preventioneers, we explore why prevention's biggest successes stay invisible. We discuss why climate warnings have gone unheeded for 170 years, why treatment beats prevention for the "popular vote," and how to rebuild trust with a public that distrusts experts. The answer isn't more data, but humility, storytelling, and trusted messengers.References for Our Discussion◼️[NEW BOOK] The Preventioneers: Diseases, Disasters, and the Discoveries That Changed Our World◼️An Ounce of Prevention: A Substack by Barry R.

Ronald White, guest author, describes how, in his final decades, Chamberlain served as the surveyor of the port in Portland, a position that allowed him to continue writing and speaking while undergoing repeated surgeries for his Petersburg wound. Even in his 80s, his intellectual curiosity remained boundless; he traveled to Egypt and the Holy Land, reading the Bible in Greek and the Quran in Arabic each evening. He endured profound personal losses, including his wife Fanny and his brother Tom, yet he remained active in civic roles for the blind and Bible societies. Prevented by failing health from attending the 50th Gettysburg reunion in 1913, he died at home in 1914. He is widely remembered as the final casualty of the Civil War because his death was the direct result of the wound he received five decades earlier. He is buried in Brunswick's Pine Grove Cemetery near his beloved Bowdoin. On Great Fields: The Life and Unlikely Heroism of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain (8)1903

You'll discover the warning signs that often appear long before a diagnosis, as well as the practical steps that may help support healthy thyroid function and reduce your risk of developing thyroid-related problems.Whether you have a family history of thyroid disease, are concerned about your own thyroid health, or simply want to take a proactive approach to wellness, this episode offers evidence-based guidance you can put into action today. 

Heart disease remains Australia's leading cause of death for men and one of the nation's biggest health challenges. Despite major advances in treatment, thousands of Australians continue to die from cardiovascular disease each year, many from conditions that can be prevented or detected earlier. In this interview, Melbourne interventional cardiologist Dr David Blusztein discusses the current state of heart health in Australia, the risk factors driving cardiovascular disease and the practical steps people can take to protect themselves. From blood pressure and cholesterol screening to lifestyle changes and emerging treatments, Dr Blusztein explains what Australians need to know about prevention, early detection and reducing their risk of heart attack and stroke. The conversation also explores why heart disease remains so prevalent, the warning signs people often overlook, and how advances in modern cardiology are helping patients live longer and healthier lives.

Brittney Bonds pulls up a chair at the PrevenTable with Executive Director and Host, Jenny Armbruster, to unpack one of life's most powerful feelings; grief.

Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham tackle one of the most fascinating and controversial questions in the diabetes world:What will happen first—a cure for Type 1 diabetes or a way to prevent it altogether?The conversation begins with a discussion around continuous glucose monitors, the barriers to bringing new diabetes technology to market, and why FDA approval plays such a significant role in innovation and accessibility.From there, Ken and Graham zoom out to examine diabetes on a global scale. They explore the challenges people with diabetes face in developing countries, the realities of insulin access, and whether advanced technology like CGMs should be prioritized when many people still struggle to obtain life-saving insulin.The discussion then shifts into the future of Type 1 diabetes research, including Teplizumab (Tzield), immunotherapy, stem cell research, autoimmune triggers, and the ongoing debate between prevention and cure.Along the way, Ken shares his perspective on the role that lifestyle factors—including stress, sleep, nutrition, exercise, and overall health—may play in autoimmune conditions, while Graham challenges the conversation by exploring whether vaccines, immunotherapy, or preventative treatments could eventually become the standard approach.This episode is an honest discussion about innovation, skepticism, hope, and the future of diabetes care.

(3) Bob Zimmerman examines the Soviet Zond program, noting that failures like Zond 4's self-destruction and Zond 6's atmosphere loss prevented the Russians from launching cosmonauts first. This created a vacuum that NASA manager George Low filled by proposing the bold, risky plan to send Apollo 8 to the moon without the lunar module. Despite the lack of a "lifeboat," leadership approved the mission to beat the Soviets. The guest emphasizes that these aggressive decisions were fueled by CIA intelligence suggesting a Russian lunar flight was imminent, forcing NASA to take engineering risks to secure a Cold War victory.1955

When 23-year-old Celeste Manno was brutally murdered in her own bedroom in November 2020, her mother Aggie knew it could have been prevented. A former coworker had stalked and harassed Celeste for over a year, and the warning signs were everywhere. Police were told. Courts were involved. Intervention orders were issued. Somehow, none of it was enough. In this episode of I Catch Killers, Aggie Di Mauro exposes the catastrophic system failures that preceded Celeste's murder, a justice system she believes let her daughter down, and the fight for a coronial inquest that five and a half years later still hasn't happened.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the things that makes this life so interesting is that something can happen that's life-changing, when you least expect it. I mean, you're just going about your day – stopping at the grocery store, or putting gas in your car, just a routine day. Then something totally unexpected happens, right in front of you. I remember one time when I was just on my way to work in the morning. Just driving on this rural road in Maine, and there was a pickup truck in front of me. And there was a man riding in the back – in the open bed of the truck. He was standing, facing forward, just hanging out. All of a sudden that truck went to the right, off the road, right into a power pole. I don't know what caused the driver to lose control, but fortunately there were no serious injuries. Even the guy in the truck bed was mostly okay. But it just happened so fast. My guest today is Jayson. He was having a pretty normal day, just running some errands. Then he found himself unexpectedly witnessing an attempted murder.

Ciara from “posh” Leopardstown says her family and friends are judging the fella she's seeing… purely because he's from Coolock and “sounds a certain way”. She likes him — they don't — and the snobbery is doing her head in. Adrian and Jeremy tear into class, accents and the unwritten rules of who you're “supposed” to date… before Jeremy admits he couldn't go out with someone with a “junkie voice”. Then the calls explode: one dad proudly admits he judged his daughter's boyfriend for his accent, his job in Tesco and even liking MMA — and gets absolutely slaughtered for it. Reverse snobbery, council estates, and “standards” all get dragged into it.

The US government has pushed for years for a war with China, selling billions of dollars of weapons to separatists in Taiwan.

Most use-of-force problems don't start with bad intent; they start with bad preparation. We're talking with Joe Buice, a lifelong martial artist and retired sheriff's office lieutenant who has spent decades in corrections, led high-liability teams, and now serves as Pepperball's Director of Implementation. The result is a practical, no-theory conversation about what actually keeps officers safe in jails, prisons, and street encounters. We get specific about defensive tactics and why “just grab an arm” fails when stress hits. Joe breaks down the real gap he sees across agencies: perishable skills treated like check-the-box training. We discuss how hesitation shows up in body-worn video reviews, why fundamentals and repetition create fluidity, and how control tactics can reduce injuries for both staff and inmates while staying inside policy and lawful orders. We also connect the dots between training and leadership. Joe shares how strong teams are built by putting the right people in the right roles, leading from the front, and slowing down long enough to listen. Then we shift to safer options first, including Pepperball for distance, area saturation, buffer zones, and lowering the career-long toll of hands-on fights. If you care about corrections officer safety, law enforcement training, defensive tactics that work, and smarter use of force decisions, this one delivers. PepperBall - jbuice@pepperball.comLinkedIn - linkedin.com/in/joe-b-56116bb1 Surround yourself with professionals who take this work seriously.
