Prior to initiating the war of conquest of the land of Canaan, the nation did the prudent thing: they undertook a reconnaissance mission to scout out the enemy defenses. Moshe selected 12 righteous men, one from each tribe, to traverse the land and inspect it from the inside. The result was a catastrophic disaster: the scouts brought a devastating report about the land, prompting the people to lose faith in God and in the prospect of entering Canaan. In this Parsha podcast, we explore three elements of the Parsha: the first segment orients around one of the descriptions of the land offered by the scouts. The second and third segments relate to the end of the Parsha: The execution of a person who was gathering twigs on Shabbos, and the commandment to tie fringes to corners of our garments.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

In this episode, I dive into one of the most challenging decisions many cancer parents face—how to protect your child from infection without unintentionally causing further harm. We're talking about PJP (Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia) and the standard use of long-term prophylactic antibiotics during treatment. While the intention is to prevent a serious infection, I explore the growing concern that this approach may be compromising the very immune system it's meant to protect. Drawing from both research and my personal experience, I unpack what's often not discussed in the oncology setting and share a more supportive, integrative approach to protecting your child's health during treatment.

Brad follows in an attempt to stop Elijah only to stop the game tying point from the Brazilian team, leaving Argentina the victor. Arrested and subsequently released the duo find themselves to be hunted by all of Brazil and ultimately end up in the compound of the countries leading drug cartel leader. Tune into find out what Andrew and Ted thought of this action / comedy.
In this episode of the NCS Podcast Hot Topics series, host Richard Choi, DO, FNCS, is joined by Wendy Ziai, MD, professor of neurology and critical care medicine at Johns Hopkins University, to discuss the article "Prophylactic Anti-Seizure Medication in Patients with Lobar Intracerebral Hemorrhage", recently published in Neurocritical Care. Their conversation explores the ongoing debate surrounding prophylactic antiseizure medication use in patients with lobar intracerebral hemorrhage. They review current guideline recommendations, highlight limitations in the existing evidence and consider the challenge of balancing seizure prevention with the risk of adverse effects. Dr. Ziai reviews key findings from prior trials as well as the featured study, which demonstrated lower rates of early seizures among patients who received prophylaxis. She also addresses questions related to patient selection, nonconvulsive status epilepticus and long-term cognitive outcomes. The discussion further considers the role of continuous EEG monitoring in the first 48 hours and how future study designs may help clarify which patients, if any, are most likely to benefit.

Facing a genetic mutation that significantly increases the risk of breast cancer means making decisions that truly feel life‑defining. Today's guest on the DiepCJourney® podcast, Emily Koellner, knows this experience intimately. With a strong family history of cancer, a mutation inherited from her father's side, and the unwavering support of her two sisters and loved ones, Emily navigated her choices with courage and clarity. Many of you will remember my earlier interview with her sisters about their own prophylactic DIEP flap journeys. Now it's Emily's turn to share her perspective, her strength, and the path she chose. We begin with a recap of her decision to have reconstructive surgery. Emily shares valuable information with our listeners about surveillance vs. the decision to have prophylactic reconstructive surgery to reduce her risk of getting breast cancer. We recall the two stories Emily wrote for the DiepCJourney® blog about her decision to have a child after her DIEP flap and the planning and discussion she had with Dr. Ledoux, her surgeon at PRMA about this decision. You can read Part 1 here: Patience and Persistence: Pregnancy Post-DIEP Read Part 2 here: Wonder and Happiness: pregnancy Post-DIEP One of the most poignant statements from one of these blog posts from Emily is: "I'm celebrating the proactive decision I made to take my health and future into my own hands." She continues to be a strong advocate in the community and shares a very recent encounter with another patient who reached out to her in a message on social media asking about having a child after DIEP flap. You won't want to miss what she shares. Emily continued her risk reducing surgeries by having a robotic assisted salpingo-oophorectomy at the request of her gynecological oncologist. She tells us about her recovery and how she is doing now.

Have you ever felt like you were "waiting for the inevitable" because of your family history? In today's episode, Dr. Jen dives deep into the complex world of preventative mastectomies and elective hysterectomies. While conventional medicine often views these procedures as the only solution for high-risk genetic markers like BRCA1 and BRCA2, Dr. Jen explores the vital "middle ground." We discusses the limitations of standard screenings, the energetic significance of our feminine centers, and how epigenetics—the way we live, eat, and supplement—can influence how our genes actually express themselves. This isn't just about surgery; it's about understanding the "Root Cause" of why our bodies create dense tissue or fibroids in the first place. Themes: Understanding that while we may carry certain genes, our environment and hormonal balance (especially the role of progesterone) act as the "software" that runs the system. Why traditional mammography isn't a one-size-fits-all solution for dense tissue and the benefits of radiation-free options like thermography. Honoring the energetic "portals" of the breasts and womb, and how to maintain that feminine vitality even if physical organs are removed. Why hormonal replacement is a non-negotiable for long-term bone, brain, and heart health following a hysterectomy. Utilizing peptides and targeted lifestyle shifts to address inflammation and tissue health before a crisis occurs. Connect with Jen:

This week, Aebhric O'Kelly, Bill Vasios, and Rhod Jordan will host an open discussion on managing austere burn patients, covering airway management, fluid resuscitation, infection control, and pain management. The speakers emphasise the complexity of burn cases and the importance of accurate assessment and treatment protocols. They also highlight the need for effective communication and patient involvement in care, as well as the use of innovative techniques like topical morphine for pain management.TakeawaysBurns are incredibly complicated, but they're complex patients.Managing an individual patient's airway has to be factored in.You want to protect and secure the airway and avoid obstructions.The goal is to achieve maximal accuracy in fluid resuscitation.You can infuse that fluid rectally if you don't have IV fluids.Prophylactic antibiotics are not indicated in burn patients.Topical morphine works really, really well for pain management.Involving the patient in their care has a positive effect.Infection control is the means of preventing infection.Burn management is more art than science.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Burns Management03:08 Airway Management in Burn Patients05:52 Assessing Burn Size and Fluid Resuscitation09:00 Fluid Administration Techniques11:38 Oral vs IV Resuscitation14:53 Monitoring and Adjusting Treatment17:36 Dynamic Management of Burn Patients25:18 Vital Signs Monitoring in Critical Care28:01 Continuous Assessment and Patient Management32:07 Patient Involvement in Vital Signs Monitoring35:10 Urine Output and Fluid Resuscitation41:33 Infection Control in Burn Management48:20 Pain Management Strategies in Burns

Send us a textDr. Edgardo Szyld from Indiana University presents the PLANT study evaluating 20 minutes of prophylactic CPAP for late preterm infants (34-36+6 weeks) born via cesarean section. This population represents 70% of US preterm births and experiences five times higher respiratory distress rates with cesarean delivery. The pragmatic pilot enrolled 100 patients, demonstrating reduced NICU admissions without pneumothorax cases—addressing previous safety concerns from observational data. Szyld's team is planning PLANT 2, targeting 35-36 weekers across 11 international centers, which will compare outcomes with and without antenatal steroids.

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dr. Van Wyk discusses the latest updates in traumatic brain injury (TBI) management, focusing on insights from the CRASH-3 trial, the use of TXA, hypertonic saline, and sodium bicarbonate. He emphasizes the importance of monitoring intracranial pressure and the potential for surgical interventions in austere environments. The conversation also touches on the controversial topic of seizure prophylaxis and end-of-life considerations in TBI care.TakeawaysDr. Van Wyk is a neurologist with extensive experience in TBI management.The CRASH-3 trial provides insights into TXA's effectiveness in TBI patients.Moderate TBI patients may benefit more from TXA than severe cases.Dosing protocols for TXA are still under discussion, with traditional methods being preferred.Hypertonic saline is recommended for TBI management, but higher concentrations may be beneficial.Sodium bicarbonate can be an effective alternative for managing ICP.Prophylactic use of hypertonic saline is debated but may be reasonable in certain cases.Seizure prophylaxis is not universally recommended but can prevent complications in TBI patients.Monitoring ICP through optic nerve sheath diameter is evolving, with trends being more useful than absolute values.Surgical interventions for TBI may be necessary in austere environments, but should be approached with caution.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Traumatic Brain Injury Management02:00 Insights from the CRASH-3 Trial06:43 Dosing Protocols for TXA in TBI11:28 Hypertonic Saline: Concentration and Administration17:21 Alternative Treatments for Increased ICP22:58 Prophylactic Sodium Management in TBI25:17 Seizure Prophylaxis in Traumatic Brain Injury30:04 Monitoring Intracranial Pressure Non-Invasively35:17 Surgical Interventions for Elevated ICP42:10 End-of-Life Decisions in Severe TBIFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care
Stacy Martin says genetic testing saved her life. The testing indicated she had the CDH1 mutation. The mutation gave her an 80 percent chance of getting gastric cancer and a 60 percent chance of breast cancer. She opted for a prophylactic total gastrectomy to remove her stomach and addressed the possibility of breast cancer with a bilateral mastectomy. Without a stomach, Stacy has had to change the way she eats, requiring food every two hours, and having to completely chew everything she eats. Despite this live-changing surgery, Stacy is leading a healthy and happy life. Unlike most people with cancer, Stacy's diagnosis was not preceded by symptoms. Her mother had already been diagnosed with Stage IV uterin cancer. That prompted Stacy and her siblings to undergo a genetic panel test. It revealed Stacy had the CDH1 mutation, which meant she an 80 percent chance of getting gastric cancer and a 60 percent chance of breast cancer. She had three options but chose to be proactive with a prophylactic total gastrectomy in 2019, a procedure that removed her stomach. It was after the surgery that pathology revealed Stacy had gastric cancer in her removed stomach. After successfully addressing the possibility of stomach cancer, she did the same with breast cancer with a bilateral mastectomy in 2020. Stacy Martin said the toughest part of her cancer experience wasn't the treatment, but what she dealt with upon its completion. She said she had to learn how to eat, and that without a stomach, she had to eat every two hours. While she took snacks with her wherever she went, she had to alternate between snacks and something more substantial, making sure she got enough protein and carbohydrates. Anything she ate had to be completely chewed because she no longer had the gastric juices in her stomach that break down food. The only thing she can't eat are raw oysters because she says they are impossible to chew. Stacy says genetic testing saved her life but admits it is not for everybody because the decision to go forth with such testing is a deeply personal decision because some people don't want to know what the tests could reveal. Despite her cancer journey, Stacy lives a happy life. She resumed her passion of hiking near her home in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and consumption of nuts resulted in her establishing Seahorse Snacks, which she operates out of her home.

They explore the historical context of IFAC contents, the effectiveness of needle decompression, and the challenges in identifying tension pneumothorax in the pre-hospital setting. The conversation also delves into the training and decision-making processes in combat medicine, assessment techniques for pneumothorax, and potential alternatives to needle decompression. In this conversation, the speakers delve into the evolving perspectives on thoracostomy and its application in pre-hospital settings, particularly in combat medicine. They discuss the implications of tension physiology in hemothorax and the prevalence of massive hemothorax in recent years. The conversation also revisits treatment protocols for chest injuries, emphasizing the need for a shift towards simple thoracostomy over needle decompression. Finally, they evaluate the use of pigtail catheters versus traditional chest tubes, weighing the pros and cons of each in emergency situations.TakeawaysNeedle decompression is debated in the context of IFACs.Historical context shows that needle decompression was not originally included in official DOD lists.Hemorrhage is the leading cause of mortality in trauma cases.Tension pneumothorax is rare, occurring in only 1.1% of cases.Identifying tension pneumothorax in pre-hospital settings is challenging.Medics should rely on objective data for decision-making.Training often prioritizes speed over thorough assessment.Prophylactic interventions for tension pneumothorax may not be effective.Chest tubes are not always life-saving interventions.Exploring alternatives like finger thoracostomy may be beneficial. Evolving views on thoracostomy emphasize its selective use.Needle decompression may be overused in practice.Tension physiology can occur with blood accumulation in the chest.Massive hemothorax is increasingly recognized in trauma cases.Up to 49% of combat casualties require chest tubes.Simple thoracostomy should be prioritized over needle decompression.Patient monitoring is crucial in pre-hospital settings.Pigtail catheters may not be suitable for pre-hospital use.Chest tubes are preferred for their reliability in emergencies.Comfort for the patient is important but should not compromise urgent care.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guest01:01 Debate on Needle Decompression in IFACs03:20 Historical Context of IFAC Contents06:40 Effectiveness of Needle Decompression09:09 Challenges in Identifying Tension Pneumothorax12:00 Training and Decision-Making in Combat Medicine16:21 Assessment Techniques for Pneumothorax21:29 Interventions for Tension Pneumothorax25:19 Exploring Alternatives to Needle Decompression25:50 Evolving Perspectives on Thoracostomy31:38 Understanding Tension Physiology in Hemothorax36:41 Revisiting Treatment Protocols for Chest Injuries43:12 Evaluating Pigtail Catheters vs. Chest TubesThank you to Delta Development Team for in part, sponsoring this podcast.deltadevteam.comFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care

At the end of April 2025, we released an episode summarizing the ERAS update for 2025. In that episode/update, we summarized the data on extended spectrum prophylactic antibiotics at cesarean section in patients living with obesity. The ERAS protocol recognized the value of oral cephalexin and metronidazole for 48 hours in patients with obesity who receive single agent Cephalosporin prophylaxis preop. Now, a new (RCT) publication soon to be released in the Green Journal, evaluates whether using dual agent pre-op prophylaxis (ancef and zithromax) together with post op oral cephalexin and metronidazole has benefit in reduction of SSI composite risk. Does this help? When is too much prophylactic antibiotics, just too much? Listen in for details.
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are novel therapeutic agents designed to target specific tumor markers with potent anticancer drugs. The Association of Cancer Care Centers (ACCC) is dedicated to providing up-to-date information on ADC treatment management. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Nancy Mallett, a patient advocate, to discuss the patient's perspective and experience receiving treatment for gynecologic cancers, particularly with ADCs such as mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx. “[Providers] giving me the information and allowing us to decide together, instead of just telling me, makes me feel more cared about and that I'm not just a number, I'm a person. They care about what I think, and look at my life and what it can do for me.” – Nancy Mallett Nancy Mallett Patient Advocate Resources: FDA Approval Summary: Mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx for FRα-positive, Platinum-Resistant Ovarian Cancer - https://bit.ly/4is00nD Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SGO): Gynecologic Cancer Resources for Patients and Their Families - https://bit.ly/4jpYaoP ASCO: Antibody-Drug Conjugates in Gynecologic Cancer - https://bit.ly/42GP5k8 Society of Gynecologic Oncology Journal Club: The ABCs of ADCs (Antibody drug Conjugates) - https://bit.ly/42U2962 Antibody-Drug Conjugates in Gynecologic Cancers - https://bit.ly/4cLYECZ Funder Statement This program is supported by AbbVie.

Ovarian cancer, often referred to as the "silent killer," has been misunderstood for years. In this episode of 20-Minute Health Talk, Jill Whyte, MD, a leading gynecologic oncologist at Northwell Health, demystifies the subtle symptoms that frequently go unnoticed and emphasizes the critical role of early diagnosis — particularly for those at the highest risk of ovarian cancer. She also explores the latest advances in treatment, from targeted therapies like PARP inhibitors, to minimally invasive surgeries and new preventive strategies. Prophylactic fallopian tube removal has been the standard of care for those at the highest risk but is now being used in certain situations for women at average risk. During Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in September, Dr. Whyte implores women everywhere to educate themselves and their family and friends to help reduce the impact of this deadly disease.

Prior to initiating the war of conquest of the land of Canaan, the nation did the prudent thing: they undertook a reconnaissance mission to scout out the enemy defenses. Moshe selected 12 righteous men, one from each tribe, to traverse the land and inspect it from the inside. The result was a catastrophic disaster: the scouts brought a devastating report about the land, prompting the people to lose faith in God and in the prospect of entering Canaan. In this Parsha podcast, we explore three elements of the Parsha: the first segment orients around one of the descriptions of the land offered by the scouts. The second and third segments relate to the end of the Parsha: The execution of a person who was gathering twigs on Shabbos, and the commandment to tie fringes to corners of our garments.– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.
