Send us a textThe truth is out: If your clients are struggling with slow healing, relentless fatigue, or impaired milk production, the cold food in their diet is the root cause. For generations, reductionist nutrition dismissed the ancient, global wisdom of warming foods as mere cultural folklore. They were wrong. This episode is your urgent intervention, proving with hard science that ice water and cold cereal actively deplete the new mother's energy reserves, fueling everything from anxiety to postpartum depression.Maranda dives into the non-negotiable physiology—from digestive enzyme function to nervous system regulation—that proves traditional postpartum care systems (like TCM and Ayurveda) understood holistic health far better than modern medicine. Discover the concrete, scientific mechanisms that validate the Warming Foods Principle and learn how to integrate this critical postpartum nutrition strategy immediately, giving your clients the rapid, foundational recovery they deserve. It's time to stop letting modern convenience trump functional healing!Check out the episode on the blog HERE. Key time stamps: 00:30: The universal consensus: Traditional postpartum care systems across the globe mandate warm foods.04:15: Examples from TCM, Ayurveda, Latin American, African, and European traditions.11:47: Why modern medicine dismissed this ancient wisdom as superstition (reductionism, male-dominated science).19:50: Physiological mechanism 1: Cold food impairs digestive enzyme function at 98.6°F.21:20: Physiological mechanism 2: Cold causes vasoconstriction, impairing blood flow and nutrient absorption.23:45: Physiological mechanism 3: Cold forces metabolic energy expenditure (thermogenesis) the mother can't afford.26:38: Physiological mechanism 4: Cold activates sympathetic "fight or flight," warm supports parasympathetic "rest and digest."29:10: The role of warming spices (ginger, cinnamon, turmeric) in promoting gastric secretions.31:45: The link between warm foods, optimal blood flow, and robust milk production.34:23: Addressing objections: Hot climates and the difference between "refreshing" and "beneficial."36:50: The power of the Three Pillars of Knowledge (Science, Stories, Practice) for optimal perinatal health education.NEXT STEPS:

Radware on AI Security at Machine Speed: What Telecom Providers Must Prepare for in 2026, Podcast

Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Travis Volk, Vice President of Global Technology Solutions and GTM, Carrier at Radware, about how artificial intelligence is reshaping the security landscape for telecom providers as the industry heads into 2026. The discussion focused on the accelerating pace of attacks, the shrinking window to respond to vulnerabilities, and why traditional, human-paced security models are no longer sufficient. Volk explained that telecom networks are now facing machine-speed attacks, where newly disclosed vulnerabilities are often exploited within hours, not weeks or months. “Recent CVEs are being exploited at breakneck speeds,” he noted, emphasizing that nearly a third of disclosed vulnerabilities are weaponized within 24 hours. This reality is forcing providers to rethink patching, maintenance, and runtime protection strategies—especially as attackers increasingly chain small flaws into large-scale, sophisticated attacks. A key theme of the conversation was the convergence of offensive and defensive security. As applications become more API-driven and agentic, service providers must adopt continuous, automated testing and inline protection that can detect business-logic attacks in real time. Volk highlighted Radware's use of AI-driven analytics and visualization to map API flows, identify abnormal behavior, and enforce protections such as object-level authorization at scale—capabilities that are critical for encrypted, high-value workloads. Looking ahead, Volk described “good” security in 2026 as a living, observable system that prioritizes risk, automates both pre-runtime and runtime defenses, and enables data-driven decisions without adding operational complexity. Radware is already delivering these capabilities through flexible deployment models—virtual, physical, containerized, and cloud-based—allowing carriers to implement unified policy frameworks today. As Volk put it, AI is no longer optional: it is essential to keeping networks secure, resilient, and available in an era where attacks move faster than humans can respond.

Episode Summary    Join us for a compelling conversation with Dr. Alexander Villahermosa, a neurosurgery resident at UT Health San Antonio and former 18 Delta Special Forces Medical Sergeant. Motivated by the events of 9/11, he enlisted with an 18 X-ray contract, embarking on a remarkable journey that took him from the battlefield to the operating room. Dr. Villahermosa shares stories from his deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan, and other austere environments, highlighting how mentorship from military physicians in Balad inspired him to pursue a medical degree.    Dr. Villahermosa provides a candid look at the Enlisted to Medical Degree Program (EMDP2), detailing his experience as part of its second class. He discusses the academic challenges of transitioning from an operational tempo to learning calculus and hard sciences, and how the program's cohort-based support system prepares active-duty soldiers for the rigors of medical school at the Uniformed Services University.   The discussion moves to the intense reality of surgical residency, where days often start at 4:00 AM and involve complex perioperative care. Dr. Villahermosa highlights the unique perspective military training brings to civilian medicine, specifically the ability to operate without advanced navigation technology—a skill emphasized by military mentors who understand downrange limitations. He also shares insights on "expectation management" regarding physical fitness while maintaining a grueling training schedule.   Finally, Dr. Villahermosa reflects on leadership lessons learned while rising from the rank of Master Sergeant to Captain, emphasizing that mentorship and staying humble are keys to success. He concludes with a crucial medical takeaway for combat medics: the best brain care starts with the basics of airway, respiration, and circulation as outlined in TCCC guidelines.     Chapters (00:00-06:00) From Enlistment to Special Forces Medic (06:00-19:30) The Path to Medical School and EMDP2 (19:30-28:30) Choosing Neurosurgery and Residency Reality (28:30-33:00) Military vs. Civilian Surgical Training (33:00-39:40) Leadership, Advice, and TBI Care   Chapter Summaries (00:00-06:00) From Enlistment to Special Forces Medic Dr. Villahermosa describes enlisting after 9/11 with the initial intent of joining the infantry, only to switch to an 18X contract to avoid a long wait for basic training. He recounts his deployments to Iraq and how mentorship from a group surgeon and an anesthesiologist in Balad first sparked his interest in becoming a physician. (06:00-19:30) The Path to Medical School and EMDP2 This section covers the process of completing undergraduate prerequisites through the Enlisted to Medical Degree Program (EMDP2), including the challenges of mastering mathematics and hard sciences. Dr. Villahermosa explains how the program's cohort system and partnership with the Uniformed Services University provided the structure and support necessary for success. (19:30-28:30) Choosing Neurosurgery and Residency Reality Initially uninterested in surgery, Dr. Villahermosa describes falling in love with the specialty during a third-year clerkship after being fascinated by spine and trauma cases. He details the daily grind of residency, which involves early mornings, long hours, and the need to seize small windows of time for physical fitness and self-care. (28:30-33:00) Military vs. Civilian Surgical Training The discussion focuses on the specific mindset instilled by military neurosurgeons, such as the ability to perform spine surgery using anatomic landmarks rather than relying solely on advanced navigation systems. This training ensures readiness for deployed environments where high-tech equipment may not be available or functional. (33:00-39:40) Leadership, Advice, and TBI Care Dr. Villahermosa reflects on the importance of humility and teamwork, noting that, regardless of rank or experience, there is always something to learn from others. He concludes by emphasizing that the best initial care for traumatic brain injury is adherence to TCCC protocols, specifically preventing hypotension and hypoxia.   Take Home Messages The Power of Mentorship: Career paths are often significantly altered by leaders who take the time to invest in their subordinates and encourage them to pursue higher goals. Dr. Villahermosa's journey to medical school began specifically because a group surgeon and an anesthesiologist took him under their wing during a combat deployment. Leaders should actively identify and encourage potential in those they lead, as this support can fundamentally change the trajectory of a service member's life. Back to Basics for Brain Injury: The most effective initial treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI) lies in the fundamental principles of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). Preventing secondary brain injury caused by hypotension and hypoxia is critical, meaning that controlling hemorrhage and managing the airway are the best ways to protect the brain in the pre-hospital setting. Providers should trust these protocols rather than feeling helpless without advanced neurosurgical capabilities, as stabilizing the patient's physiology is the first step in saving the brain. Operating in Austere Environments: While modern civilian neurosurgery often relies on advanced navigation technology and robotics, military surgeons must maintain the skill to operate using anatomic landmarks. Dr. Villahermosa highlights that downrange environments may lack functional high-tech equipment, making it essential to master manual techniques for spine and brain procedures. This training approach ensures that military surgeons remain adaptable and can deliver life-saving care regardless of the resources available in the field. Resilience Through Expectation Management: Surviving a demanding residency program or rigorous military training requires adjusting one's expectations regarding fitness and rest. Rather than waiting for large blocks of free time that may never come, trainees must learn to seize small, available moments for self-care, whether that is a short fifteen-minute run or catching up on sleep. Taking advantage of these brief breaks when they present themselves is crucial for maintaining long-term physical and mental performance when the schedule is unpredictable. Humility and Teamwork in Leadership: Success in high-stakes environments like the military and medicine demands humility and the recognition that no single person knows everything. Dr. Villahermosa emphasizes that rank and experience do not preclude the need to learn from others, including the newest members of the team who may bring fresh perspectives. Acknowledging one's role within the larger mission fosters a collaborative environment that improves patient outcomes and ensures the job gets done effectively.   Episode Keywords special forces medic, green beret, neurosurgery resident, military medicine, combat medic, trauma surgery, medical school, emdp2, enlisted to medical degree, uniformed services university, 18 delta, surgical training, traumatic brain injury, TCCC, tactical combat casualty care, military podcast, veteran stories, medical career, doctor journey, Brooke Army Medical Center, UT health San Antonio, neurosurgeon training, army special operations, combat veteran, medicine podcast, army doctor   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine   The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

This episode, from our November National Conference, explores one of healthcare's most persistent challenges: how hospitals and health plans can move from operating at cross-purposes to truly rowing in the same direction. Our guests are Danielle Lloyd, SVP of Private Market Innovations and Quality Initiatives, AHIP and Molly Smith, Group VP for Public Policy, American Hospital Association. Led by moderator Stephan Rubin from Optum, Danielle and Molly dig into the misconceptions that providers and payers often hold about each other and discuss how better data transparency, shared incentives, and policy alignment — including recent CMS rules such as 0057F — can help bridge long-standing divides. The 3 examine the future of prior authorization, the promise and limits of interoperability initiatives like TEFCA and the CMS Aligned Network, and why value-based care still struggles to scale despite years of policy focus. Finally, they look ahead to the role of AI, automation, and emerging data standards in reshaping care delivery and payment, and ask what real payer-provider collaboration must look like to deliver a more seamless, efficient, and patient-centered healthcare system.

In this episode of the Atomic Anesthesia Podcast, host Dr. Rhea Temmermand speaks with Michael Hoess, CRNA and Lead CRNA for Education at Cooper University Hospital, about the crucial role of CRNAs in austere and tactical medical environments. Drawing on over a decade of trauma and resuscitation experience, Mike shares how CRNAs contribute to training military and government medical teams operating in resource-limited or remote conditions. The discussion explores how core anesthesia principles adapt when blood banks, ventilators, or full surgical teams aren't available, emphasizing the importance of airway control, hemodynamic management, and damage control resuscitation in the field. Mike also discusses building resilience through high-stress simulations, developing adaptive leadership skills, and fostering mission readiness for both seasoned CRNAs and students. Listeners gain insight into how these lessons from austere medicine can strengthen everyday anesthesia practice and prepare clinicians for the challenges of modern conflict and disaster response.If you want to reach out to Michael, you can contact him at michael.p.hoess@gmail.com or hoess-michael@cooperhealth.eduArticles:Austere Resuscitative and Surgical Care Teams: Supporting Far-Forward Trauma Care on the Future BattlefieldMilitary and Civilian Surgery Partner for Innovation, EffectivenessA Western trainer says talk of 'golden hour' would be laughable to Ukrainian forces.Want to learn more?

Value-based enterprises depend on timely, accurate data, yet the rules that govern how that data moves between the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), accountable care organizations, payors, and providers remain complex and often inconsistent. On this episode, Epstein Becker Green attorneys Kevin Malone and Karen Mandelbaum unpack the regulatory frameworks shaping data exchange in value-based care. They outline how federal privacy laws, CMS rules, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and state requirements intersect; why CMS-sourced data operates under a different regime than Medicare Advantage; and where organizations face the biggest operational hurdles when using, sharing, and governing data across large networks. Key Takeaways: Distinct Legal Frameworks: CMS data is controlled by the Privacy Act, while Medicare Advantage data falls under HIPAA. Disclosure Tracking Requirements: CMS data use agreements demand strict tracking and downstream compliance. Operational Data Challenges: Silos and uneven data quality remain major barriers to effective value-based care. Tune in to learn how today's rules shape data access, data quality, and the real-world mechanics of value-based care.

  Technology leaders live in a world of exploding cloud and data usage. It is a challenge to know where the responsibility for the Clout Service Provider begins. Today, we sat with three experienced cloud management professionals to learn best practices in this ever-changing environment.   Jeff Maxon from Kansas has provided great insight into separating infrastructure from applications. His rule-of-thumb is that when architecture moves to the applications itself, the responsibility shifts from the cloud provider to the customer.   When a system is configured, and a client is solid, one can be lulled into thinking it is safe. Michael Gregg from Palo Alto suggests that regularly testing clients for compliance should be part of a systematic process.   He reminds listeners that breaches occur. Few have appropriate remediation and recovery plans in place. Mistakes will happen; there must be strategies in place to recover.   The panel underscored the critical role of collaboration and continuous improvement in achieving and maintaining cybersecurity.

For weeks, King County homelessness service providers have been staring down a majorly disruptive change to how they currently operate. The federal Department of Housing and Urban Development said in November that it intended to redirect billions of dollars in grants that house homeless people. This was in line with President Trump’s rejection of “housing first,” the practice that aims to get people stabilized in long-term housing before addressing mental health issues or addiction. It's guided policy in this region and across the United States for decades. The Trump Administration’s announcement put $65 million in federal grant money for King County in doubt. And it left local leaders scrambling. The county called providers together last week to discuss the change. Washington state and roughly 20 states sued, and later, so did King County and local homeless service providers. But yesterday, 90 minutes before a court hearing, HUD withdrew the new requirements around grants. Sounds like a rollercoaster, right? Providers in the area are breathing a sigh of relief. Though, the last-minute shift signifies the complicated task of planning homelessness response, one that relies on federal dollars, when massive changes are taking place in Washington, D.C.

The managed service provider (MSP) market is projected to grow significantly, with a valuation increase from $337.6 billion in 2024 to $406.74 billion in 2025, driven by the complexity of modern IT infrastructures and rising cybersecurity threats. However, small businesses in the United States are facing severe challenges, shedding jobs at pandemic-level rates, with a net loss of 120,000 jobs reported in November 2025. This trend highlights a growing divide between small and large enterprises, as larger firms adapt more effectively to economic pressures, while small businesses struggle to maintain stability and are increasingly cautious about spending on new initiatives.The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the labor market is becoming more pronounced, with a study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology indicating that AI could replace 11.7% of the U.S. workforce, equating to approximately $1.2 trillion in wages. As companies begin to manage digital employees alongside human workers, the need for effective governance and accountability frameworks becomes critical. Forrester predicts that by 2026, businesses will increasingly integrate AI into their workforce strategies, necessitating a shift in how leadership orchestrates workflows and manages costs.Windows 11 adoption has stalled, with its market share at 53.7% as of November 2025, indicating a growing indifference among consumers and businesses towards operating systems. This trend suggests that the value proposition for MSPs must evolve beyond device management and OS-level work, focusing instead on higher-level services such as identity management, application governance, and automation. As the market shifts, MSPs must adapt to provide solutions that drive business outcomes rather than relying on traditional refresh cycles and OS migrations.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the current landscape presents both challenges and opportunities. The need for clarity in navigating AI complexities and the integration of digital agents into workflows is paramount. Providers that can assist customers in managing these transitions and focus on outcomes rather than tools will position themselves as strategic partners. The future of the MSP market will depend on the ability to evolve and meet the demands of a changing workforce, ensuring that they remain relevant in an increasingly automated environment. Four things to know today 00:00 Small businesses are losing jobs, midmarket firms are reorganizing with AI — and MSPs must shift how they deliver value06:52 The MSP Market Is Growing Fast — but the real opportunity is helping customers manage AI, not devices10:07 Windows 11 Slowdown Shows Customers Don't Care About OS Upgrades — and MSP Value Lives Higher Up the Stack12:08 Slowing ChatGPT Growth and Rising Gemini Use Signal AI Models Becoming Commodities for Business Users This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorshiphttps://scalepad.com/dave/

What if the problem is not your motivation to recover, but a system that makes eating disorder treatment almost impossible to afford? In this conversation, I sit down again with Leslie Jordan Garcia @liberatiwellness. Leslie is a wellness strategist, certified eating disorder recovery coach, and Treatment Access Program Manager at Project HEAL. In this episode, we discuss real, concrete pathways to free and low-cost eating disorder care. We also talk about why you cannot separate eating disorder recovery from social justice, intersectionality, and body hierarchies. Leslie breaks down how Project HEAL removes financial and systemic barriers, how people from marginalized communities can apply, and how providers can join the Healer's Circle to offer justice-focused, values-aligned care. In this episode, we talk about What Project HEAL is and how it works to remove financial and systemic barriers to eating disorder care in the United States The four major Project HEAL programs and how to apply for: Community Care groups for BIPOC folks Cash assistance that covers tertiary costs like rent, pet boarding, and transportation Outpatient treatment placement with sliding scale and pro bono providers Insurance navigation support and help with single case agreements Who qualifies for Project HEAL services, including people in all U.S. states and territories, and how they prioritize folks from communities that are historically and systemically marginalized How Leslie matches people with “unicorn providers” who are fat positive, HAES aligned, queer affirming, trauma aware, and non Christian based when needed The difference it makes when someone helps you navigate insurance, access care, and complete applications, especially when executive functioning is low or things feel overwhelming How economic precarity, layoffs, food insecurity, and shifting insurance policies are driving an uptick in applications for eating disorder treatment assistance Why intersectional, identity affirming care is not optional in eating disorder recovery, especially for BIPOC, queer, trans, disabled, and fat clients How Leslie's social justice consulting work with universities, community colleges, and health organizations helps them: Reimagine intake forms and client facing processes Address promotion and salary inequities Create transformational circles where teams talk about harm, stereotypes, and systemic barriers How body hierarchies, food moralization, school fitness testing, and lunch shaming fuel eating disorders for kids and adults Why many people use eating disorders as a survival tool in the context of trauma, capitalism, surveillance, and unsafe systems What true equity and belonging could mean for decreasing the occurrence and severity of eating disorders About our guest: Leslie Jordan Garcia Leslie Jordan Garcia is a wellness strategist, certified eating disorder recovery coach, and social justice consultant dedicated to healing and liberation. She holds dual master's degrees in business and public health and has more than a decade of experience across military, public health, and nonprofit sectors. Through her practice, Liberati Wellness, Leslie offers HAES aligned eating disorder recovery support, inclusive movement support, and equity and identity affirming care. Leslie also partners with organizations like Austin Health Commons and the Hogg Foundation to embed equity and justice into health systems and helping professions. She currently serves as the Treatment Access Program Manager at Project HEAL, where she manages cash assistance and treatment placement and works to match clients with values aligned, culturally responsive providers. You can find Leslie's coaching and consulting work at Liberati Wellness and on Instagram at @liberatiwellness. Inside Project HEAL's pathways to care In this episode, Leslie explains how Project HEAL supports people who are struggling with eating disorders and facing financial and systemic barriers to treatment. She walks us through the main programs: Informed ED (for professionals) A learning program for clinicians and dietitians who are newer to eating disorder treatment. It helps them build skills, reduce harm, and align their work with justice focused values so they can better support clients whose eating disorders are uncovered in general mental health or medical settings. Community Care A free, BIPOC only, 8 week support and process group focused on body liberation, community care, and healing from white supremacist body hierarchies. Cash Assistance Program A program that does not pay individuals directly, but instead covers tertiary costs that often block access to care. This can include rent, transportation, pet boarding, or other essential expenses so that people can actually attend the level of care their team recommends. Treatment Placement Leslie coordinates outpatient treatment placement, connecting people with dietitians, therapists, and other providers who offer sliding scale or pro bono care, especially when insurance does not cover enough dietitian sessions or mental health support. Insurance Navigation Project HEAL helps people understand their insurance benefits, locate in network providers, and pursue options like single case agreements when an appropriate provider is out of network. Leslie also mentions a time limited clinical assessment program for people who know they are struggling in their relationship with food and body but have never had a formal diagnosis. All of these services are free to applicants, and one application can cover multiple programs at once. Who can apply to Project HEAL Leslie shares that Project HEAL is U.S. based, and that includes all 50 states, Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories such as Guam. Anyone in those locations can apply. Project HEAL prioritizes people from communities that have been historically and systemically marginalized, including: BIPOC communities Queer and trans communities People in larger bodies Disabled and chronically ill folks People navigating religious trauma and other layered identities Leslie's role includes reading applications through an intersectional lens, tracking diversity demographics, and making sure that people who face the largest gaps in access are not overlooked. She also notes that if the application itself feels overwhelming, Project HEAL can connect applicants with someone who will help them complete it, which is especially important when executive functioning is low. Intersectionality, social justice, and eating disorder recovery Throughout the conversation, Leslie and I look at how eating disorders are never just about appearance. They are deeply tied to: Trauma and chronic stress How we perceive our bodies and how we believe others perceive our bodies Economic instability, job insecurity, and food insecurity Surveillance of bodies in workplaces, schools, and medical settings Racism, anti-fat bias, ableism, transmisia, and other forms of oppression Leslie talks about clients who restrict food so their children can eat when jobs cut hours, and how people in larger bodies often avoid eating at work because of constant surveillance and judgment, only to experience intense hunger and binge episodes later. We explore how body hierarchies, moralization of food, school fitness testing, and lunch policing create conditions where an eating disorder can become a primary coping strategy. Leslie describes how, over time, this can become deeply embedded, with the brain chemistry colluding with the eating disorder to create a sense of safety that the larger system fails to provide. For Leslie, social justice work is inseparable from eating disorder work. If people had secure access to food, safe housing, living wages, and genuine body equity, many would not need to rely on eating disorders to feel safer, visible, or invisible. Justice work inside systems Leslie also describes her justice work with institutions, including: Facilitating Transformational Circles where diverse team members connect as humans and then talk honestly about processes that exclude or harm people Supporting clinics that operate in queer neighborhoods yet do not see queer clients, and helping them examine what in their client facing processes is pushing people away Working with community colleges on salary and promotion inequities, examining reviews, ranking systems, and feedback processes that keep certain groups from advancing Helping organizations rework intake forms, policies, and internal culture so that equity, belonging, and justicebecome real practices rather than buzzwords She reminds us that what often gets labeled as “DEI” is actually about justice, accessibility, and belonging for everyone, including veterans, people who breastfeed, people who need ramps and accessible bathrooms, and more. How to connect with Project HEAL and Leslie To apply for Project HEAL's Treatment Access programs Visit the Project HEAL website at projectheal.org and look for the section on Treatment Access. One application lets you indicate which services you want, including cash assistance, treatment placement, insurance navigation, and clinical assessment while that program is still active. Both individuals seeking care and providers who want to join the Healer's Circle start on the same site. Providers can share their identities, specialties, body size, languages spoken, and communities they love to serve, which helps Leslie make strong intersectional matches. To work with Leslie as a coach or consultant You can learn more about Leslie's equity and identity affirming eating disorder recovery coaching and social justice consulting at: Website: Liberati Wellness liberatiwellness.com Instagram: @liberatiwellness She currently has a reduced capacity for one to one clients but continues to support individuals and teams through coaching, collaboration with therapists and dietitians, and organizational justice work. If this episode resonated with you If you are struggling with an eating disorder and feel blocked by money, insurance, or access, I hope this episode helps you feel less alone and more resourced. There are people and organizations actively working to break financial barriers to care. If you know someone who could benefit from free or low-cost eating disorder support, especially someone from a marginalized community, please consider sharing this episode with them. You can also support this work by: Following @liberatiwellness and @projectheal Sharing Project HEAL's application info with your community If you are a provider, applying to join the Healer's Circle and offering sliding scale or pro bono care And as always, thank you for listening and for being part of this conversation about justice, embodiment, and eating disorder recovery.

Steven Delperdang of Google Cloud talks about trust; evolution of visibility; & and the big opportunities for logistics providers taking an AI-first approach. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:   [03.08] After years spent at Caterpillar and Penske, how Steven is now using the 'One Google' approach to run Google's own internal supply chain and solve the legacy pain points he faced in his past roles, and exactly what's so transformative about this approach. "In my previous roles, many of the frustrations stemmed from fragmented systems and data siloes. You have a warehouse management system here, a transportation management system there, various auxiliary 1P and 3P systems – and often a lot of manual effort to stitch it all together." "Siloes are a major barrier, and consolidating data is critical. Logistics is simply a chain of interconnected events… so without that centralized view, you're only seeing a piece of the puzzle." "It's this centralized access that means we can perform more sophisticated analysis and our AI tools can draw on a much richer data set." [07.00] Why trust is such a big hurdle for providers who are already drowning in data, and the areas Google Cloud focus on to build that trust. [10.44] The evolution of visibility, why consolidating disparate data is so critical, and how Google is tackling disparate data problems to achieve true centralized access. "Everybody has basic visibility now, but that leap from dots on a map to true actionable insights is crucial. Basic visibility tells us what's happening. Our target for visibility tells you why it's happening, what's likely to happen next, and what you should do about it." [13.33] How Steven's experience of using Google Cloud to power Google's own global supply chain helps him strategize, and the business outcomes Google has achieved that other organizations can replicate. [16.12] The practical, day-to-day logistics problems Steven's team is currently solving with AI. "AI can help us cut through the noise." [21.21] How integrating Gemini AI has changed Steven's tools, and why he's seeing faster, better quality insights. [23.13] How the day-to-day work of Google Cloud's own analysts and developers has shifted with the addition of new AI capabilities. "For us, it's been a really significant shift up the value chain. Three years ago, a large proportion of my teams time was consumed by manual data extraction, cleansing, building bespoke reports for leaders. Today, we have less firefighting and the team can focus on more strategic work, more complex and impactful problems." [26.40] How Google is making high-powered AI tools usable for everyday logistics operators. [29.57] How Steven's past award-winning work at Caterpillar would have been different if he had had the Google Cloud tools that exist today. [32.47] From hyper-personalized insights to AI-driven collaboration, the biggest untapped opportunity for logistics providers ready to embrace an AI-first approach.   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED:   Head over to Google Cloud's website now to find out more and discover how they could help you too.

CPR-Induced Consciousness (CPRIC): Cuando el paciente "despierta" durante las compresiones

Conversación con los autores del caso clínico publicado en International Journal of Emergency Medicine (2025) En este episodio del ECCpodcast, conversamos con los autores del caso "Cardiopulmonary resuscitation-induced consciousness in an elderly patient: a case report in the prehospital setting"—un fenómeno sorprendente y todavía poco comprendido: la conciencia inducida por RCP (CPRIC). Hablamos con Jose Daniel Yusty-Prada y Jose Luis Piñeros-Alvarez, quienes documentaron la historia de un paciente de 80 años que, sin haber recuperado pulso, comenzó a moverse, hacer sonidos y quitarse el equipo… durante las compresiones torácicas. Este caso abre una conversación fundamental sobre la fisiología, el manejo clínico, la ética y la capacitación necesaria para enfrentar CPRIC en entornos reales. Contexto del Caso El paciente colapsó en un área pública, rápidamente reconocido como un paro cardíaco presenciado. Los testigos iniciaron compresiones inmediatas, y un equipo BLS llegó con un AED, confirmando un ritmo desfibrilable. Durante los ciclos iniciales de RCP, el paciente comenzó a: flexionar las piernas, mover brazos, intentar remover el BVM y los parches, vocalizar sonidos, y mover la cabeza. Todo esto sin pulso palpable y sin signos de perfusión sostenida. Los movimientos desaparecían al detener las compresiones y reaparecían al reanudarlas: un patrón clásico de CPRIC. Esto provocó interrupciones prematuras por parte del equipo, dudas entre los testigos e incluso conflictos psicológicos en los rescatistas, quienes inicialmente pensaron que el paciente "despertaba". Finalmente, tras múltiples desfibrilaciones y sin sedación disponible en protocolo, se logró ROSC. ¿Qué es CPR-Induced Consciousness (CPRIC)? Los autores explican que CPRIC es un fenómeno real, probablemente subdiagnosticado, en el cual un paciente sin pulso presenta: Formas interferentes Intentar quitarse dispositivos Empujar a los rescatistas Movimientos coordinados Vocalizaciones Mover cabeza, brazos o piernas Formas no interferentes Parpadeo Mirada fija o seguimiento Suspiros Movimientos mínimos La evidencia señala que CPRIC ocurre más en: paros presenciados, ritmos desfibrilables, paro de causa cardiaca, CPR de alta calidad, y pacientes sin daño cerebral previo severo. Cada vez vemos más casos porque estamos dando mejor RCP, con mayor perfusión cerebral y más equipos con feedback. Retos del Caso: Técnica, logística y psicología Uno de los aspectos más valiosos del episodio es cuando los autores discuten cómo el fenómeno impacta al equipo. 1. Interrupciones prematuras Los movimientos llevaron al equipo a detener compresiones 30–40 segundos antes del análisis del AED, y esto puede comprometer el éxito de la desfibrilación. 2. Manejo de vía aérea Los movimientos orales hicieron imposible avanzar más allá del OPA + BVM. Intentar insertar una supraglótica se volvió riesgoso. 3. Interferencia del público Familiares y testigos gritaban que el paciente estaba "despertando" y pedían detener la RCP. Esto modificó la toma de decisiones del equipo. 4. Dilema ético y emocional Los autores describen la experiencia como "desconcertante", incluso sabiendo que el paciente estaba en VF refractaria.   Sedación en CPRIC: ¿Cuándo? ¿Cómo? ¿Con qué? El artículo y los autores coinciden en que la evidencia actual favorece el uso de ketamina para manejar CPRIC interferente: 0.5–1 mg/kg IV o bolos de 50–100 mg Ventajas: No compromete presión arterial No deprime respiración Inicio muy rápido Ayuda en estrés psicológico post-evento Sin embargo: La mayoría de los sistemas en Latinoamérica no tienen protocolos Providers temen administrar sedación en pleno paro No existe guía formal de AHA o ERC ILCOR solo tiene un best practice statement Los autores recalcan que la sedación debe considerarse solo si CPRIC interfiere con las maniobras. Lecciones para EMS y emergencias Los autores destacan tres grandes enseñanzas: 1. CPRIC no es ROSC Si no hay pulso, no hay circulación espontánea, aunque el paciente hable o se mueva. 2. La educación pública es crucial Los testigos pueden ejercer presión equivocada. Es necesario explicar durante la escena qué está pasando. 3. Los sistemas deben crear protocolos ya Incluyendo: reconocimiento temprano decisiones sobre sedación documentación comunicación con familiares entrenamiento en simulación Por qué este caso es importante Este artículo es uno de los pocos reportes en un paciente geriátrico, resalta desafíos culturales en Latinoamérica y propone la urgente necesidad de estandarización internacional. CPRIC seguirá aumentando porque la RCP sigue mejorando. Y si no lo reconocemos, aumentarán: interrupciones innecesarias, conflictos en escena, mala calidad de RCP, y peor pronóstico.

Cloud managed services are experiencing rapid growth, with the market projected to expand from approximately $50.62 billion in 2025 to $120 billion by 2035, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 8.16%. This growth is driven by organizations across various sectors, including finance and healthcare, seeking to enhance their cloud operations and address cybersecurity risks. However, a widening performance gap among managed service providers (MSPs) is evident, as only the most capable firms are capitalizing on this demand. According to Service Leadership data, while the overall profitability of the MSP sector remains strong, not all providers are experiencing equal growth, raising concerns about competitive positioning.Recent surveys indicate that many businesses investing in artificial intelligence (AI) are not seeing financial returns, with only about 2% of Canadian business leaders reporting positive results from their generative AI investments. A study by KPMG highlights that many companies are still in the experimental phase of AI adoption, failing to integrate the technology effectively into their operations. Additionally, a significant skills gap exists among channel partners, with only 26% currently offering advanced network services with integrated AI capabilities. This disconnect between customer expectations and partner capabilities is contributing to the widening gap in performance.Frontline workers express concerns regarding the lack of transparency in AI integration within their workplaces. A survey conducted by Deputy found that while nearly half of workplaces utilize AI, only 25% of workers report regular interaction with it, and many are unaware of its usage. This communication gap can lead to mistrust and confusion among employees, which may hinder successful AI adoption. Despite these concerns, a majority of workers report satisfaction with AI's role in their tasks, indicating potential for positive outcomes if communication improves.For MSPs and IT service leaders, the current landscape presents both challenges and opportunities. The demand for cloud, AI, and managed services is surging, but success will depend on the ability to operationalize these technologies effectively. Providers must focus on enhancing their capabilities, improving communication with clients, and ensuring that they deliver measurable outcomes. As the market differentiates between high performers and those lagging behind, it is crucial for MSPs to adapt and evolve their services to meet the growing expectations of their clients. Three things to know today00:00 Cloud Demand Surges, CEO Priorities Shift, and MSP Performance Splits Into Clear Winners and Laggards05:40 Studies Show AI Investment Outpacing Capability, Leaving Firms Without ROI and Partners Struggling to Deliver10:00 AI Rollout Outpaces Employer Transparency, Creating Worker Confusion and Risk for IT Providers This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://mailprotector.com/mspradio/

The conversation explores the implications of her findings, the cultural perceptions surrounding sexual health, and practical recommendations for healthcare providers. Dr. Dubinskaya emphasizes the need for further research and the potential benefits of vibrators in improving blood flow and addressing conditions like lichen sclerosis and atrophy. Takeaways Vibrators can improve blood flow to the pelvic area. Cultural perceptions of sexual health impact women's experiences. Research on vibrators is a new frontier in women's health. Vibrators can help with conditions like lichen sclerosis and atrophy. The importance of sexual health in urogynecology cannot be overstated. Women often feel more comfortable using vibrators externally. The 'use it or lose it' concept needs a nuanced approach. Healthcare providers should recommend vibrators as a common practice. Better questionnaires are needed to assess solo sexual activity.

They discuss Jennifer's unique journey from law to healthcare, the importance of ethics in medical practice, and the need for informed consent in patient care. The conversation also touches on the role of hormones in women's health, the impact of social media on healthcare discussions, and the future of hormone therapy. Throughout the episode, they emphasize the importance of empowering patients with knowledge and fostering open communication between healthcare providers and patients. Takeaways Jennifer transitioned from law to healthcare to focus on patient care. Ethics in healthcare needs to be redefined to include the harm of inaction. Informed consent should involve thorough discussions, not just signatures. Patients are increasingly educated and should be empowered in their healthcare decisions. Hormone therapy can play a crucial role in women's health and should be discussed openly. Social media influences patient perceptions and can complicate doctor-patient relationships. The future of hormone therapy is promising, but access and education are key. Healthcare providers must navigate the complexities of patient education in a fast-paced environment.
