It is a common assumption that in Israel, Jews have sovereignty, and in most other places where Jews live today, they have religious freedom instead. As Simon Rabinovitch shows in this original work, the situation is much more complicated. Jews today possess different kinds of legal rights in states around the world; some stem from religious freedom protections, and others evolved from a longer history of Jewish autonomy. By comparing conflicts between Jewish collective and individual rights in courts and laws across the globe, from the French Revolution to today, this book provides a nuanced legal history of Jewish sovereignty and religious freedom. Rabinovitch weaves key themes in Jewish legal history with the individual stories of litigants, exploring ideas about citizenship and belonging; who is a Jew; what makes a Jewish family; and how to define Jewish space. He uses recent court cases to explore problems of conflicting rights and then situates each case in a wider historical context. This unique comparative history creates a global picture of modern legal development in which Jews continue to use the law to carve out surprising forms of sovereignty. Simon Rabinovitch is the Stotsky Associate Professor of Jewish Historical and Cultural Studies at Northeastern University. He teaches and writes on a range of topics in European, Jewish, Russian, and legal history. Geraldine Gudefin is a French-born modern Jewish historian researching Jewish family life, legal pluralism, and the migration experiences of Jews in France and the United States. She is currently a research fellow at the Hebrew University's Avraham Harman Research Institute of Contemporary Jewry, and is completing a book titled An Impossible Divorce?

Ever wondered how necessity becomes the mother of invention? In this episode of 7-8 Figure Special Series I interviewed Marnie Rabinovitch Consky. She is the Founder, CEO and Chief Anti-Chafing Champion of Thigh Society (www.thighsociety.com), an undergarment brand specializing in moisture-wicking, lightweight and breathable multi-use shorts that are not shapewear. Marnie is one of those unique entrepreneurs who identified a white space opportunity based on her personal pain point of thigh rub, innovated a solution and then brought it to market. Without any related experience in retail, sales, manufacturing or ecommerce, she followed her hunch, quit her full-time pensioned job at 40 and bootstrapped Thigh Society to $1MM in sales, pioneering a new underwear category of anti-chafing slip shorts she calls “chafewear”. Thigh Society shorties have been featured on The Today Show, in SELF Mag, NY Mag and others and is well loved by celeb influencers like Remi Bader and Alicia McCarvell in addition to being ranked as one of Canada's Fastest Growing Companies in the Globe & Mail's Report on Business for 2 years in a row (2021 & 2022). Marnie has been featured in Forbes Magazine, the Toronto Star, Pivot Magazine, as of one Bay Street Bull's Women of the Year and several other notable publications and podcasts.Learn how a side hustle became a business over 7 figures.

Winner of the Choix Goncourt Prize, Anne Berest's The Postcard (Europa Editions, 2023) is a vivid portrait of twentieth-century Parisian intellectual and artistic life, an enthralling investigation into family secrets, and poignant tale of a Jewish family devastated by the Holocaust and partly restored through the power of storytelling. January, 2003. Together with the usual holiday cards, an anonymous postcard is delivered to the Berest family home. On the front, a photo of the Opéra Garnier in Paris. On the back, the names of Anne Berest's maternal great-grandparents, Ephraïm and Emma, and their children, Noémie and Jacques--all killed at Auschwitz. Fifteen years after the postcard is delivered, Anne, the heroine of this novel, is moved to discover who sent it and why. Aided by her chain-smoking mother, family members, friends, associates, a private detective, a graphologist, and many others, she embarks on a journey to discover the fate of the Rabinovitch family: their flight from Russia following the revolution, their journey to Latvia, Palestine, and Paris. What emerges is a moving saga that shatters long-held certainties about Anne's family, her country, and herself. AJ Woodhams hosts the "War Books" podcast.

Fue en enero de 2003. En el buzón de la casa familiar de Anne Berest apareció una extraña postal sin firma: en el anverso, la Ópera Garnier, y en el reverso, cuatro nombres, los de los bisabuelos maternos de la autora “Ephraïm y Emma”, y los hijos de estos “Noémie y Jacques”, todos ellos fallecidos en Auschwitz en 1942. ¿Quién envió la tarjeta y con qué siniestra intención? Veinte años después, la autora decide averiguarlo y remontarse un siglo atrás para reconstruir el periplo vital de los Rabinovitch en “La postal”: su huida de Rusia, su viaje a Letonia, Palestina y París, y luego la guerra. Una investigación exhaustiva y apasionante, para la cual cuenta con la ayuda de su madre, un detective privado y un grafólogo, y que la llevará a interrogar a los habitantes del pueblo donde sus parientes fueron detenidos, a buscar indicios en los libros y a ahondar en la vida de la única superviviente de la saga: su abuela Myriam. En esta conversación con la autora, hablamos de esta historia y de sus raíces familiares.

January, 2003. Together with the usual holiday cards, an anonymous postcard is delivered to the Berest family home. On the front, a photo of the Opéra Garnier in Paris. On the back, the names of Anne Berest's maternal great-grandparents, Ephraïm and Emma, and their children, Noémie and Jacques--all killed at Auschwitz. Fifteen years after the postcard is delivered, Anne, the heroine of this novel, is moved to discover who sent it and why. Aided by her chain-smoking mother, family members, friends, associates, a private detective, a graphologist, and many others, she embarks on a journey to discover the fate of the Rabinovitch family: their flight from Russia following the revolution, their journey to Latvia, Palestine, and Paris. What emerges is a moving saga that shatters long-held certainties about Anne's family, her country, and herself.

The 20th Annual Southern California Linux Expo (SCALE) runs Thursday through Sunday at the Pasadena Convention Center in Pasadena, Ca., featuring keynotes from notables such as Ken Thompson, the creator of Unix, said Ilan Rabinovich, one of the co-founders and conference chair for the conference on this week's edition of The New Stack Makers. "Honestly, most of the speakers we've had, you know, we got at SCALE in the early days, we just, we, we emailed them and said: 'Would you come to speak at the event?' We ran a call for proposals, and some of them came in as submissions, but a lot of it was just cold outreach. I don't know if that succeeded, because that's the state of where the community was at the time and there wasn't as much demand or just because or out of sheer dumb luck. I assure you, it wasn't skill or any sort of network that we like, we just, you know, we just we managed to, we managed to do that. And that's continued through today. When we do our call for papers, we get hundreds and hundreds of submissions, and that makes it really hard to choose from." Rethinking Web Application Firewalls Thompson, who turned 80 on February 4 (Happy Birthday, Mr. Thompson), created Unix at Bell Labs. He worked with people like Robert Griesemer and Rob Pike on developing the Go programming language and other projects over the years, including Plan 9, UTF-8, and more. Rabinovich is pretty humble about the keynote speakers that the conference attracts. He and the conference organizers scoured the Internet and found Thompson's email, who said he'd love to join them. That's how they attracted Lawrence Lessig, the creator of the Creative Commons license, who spoke at SCALE12x in 2014 about the legal sides of open source, content sharing, and free software. "I wish I could say, we have this very deep network of connections," Rabinovich said. "It's just, these folks are surprisingly approachable, despite, you know, even after years and years of doing amazing work." SCALE is the largest community-run open-source and free software conference in North America, with roots befitting an event that started with a group of college students wanting to share their learnings about Linux. Rabinovitch was one of those college students attending UCSB, the University of California, Santa Barbara. "A lot of the history of SCALE comes from the LA area back when open source was still relatively new and Linux was still fairly hard to get up and running," Rabinovitch said. "There were LUGS (Linux User Groups) on every corner. I think we had like 25 LUGS in the LA area at one point. And so so there was a vibrant open source community.' Los Angeles's freeways and traffic made it difficult to get the open source community together. So they started LUGFest. They held the day-long event at a Nortel building until the telco went belly up. So, as open source people tend to do, they decided to scale, so to speak, the community gatherings. And so SCALE came to be – led by students like Rabinovitch. The conference started with a healthy community of 200 to 250 people. By the pandemic, 3,500 people were attending. For more about SCALE, listen to the full episode of The New Stack Makers wherever you get your podcasts.
This week, please join author Amil Shah and Associate Editor Ntobeko Ntusi as they discuss the article "Stages of Valvular Heart Disease Among Older Adults in the Community: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study." Dr. Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. We're your co-hosts. I'm Dr. Carolyn Lam, associate editor from the National Heart Center and Duke National University of Singapore. Dr. Greg Hundley: And I'm Dr. Greg Hundley, associate editor, Director at the Pauley Heart Center at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. Carolyn, this week's feature, very interesting. Many times in older individuals we understand how to manage severe valvular heart disease, for example, severe aortic stenosis. But do we really know how to manage individuals with mild valvular heart disease, for example, mild mitral regurgitation or aortic valve sclerosis? Well, our feature today will address that issue. And so, listeners, grab a cup of coffee. We're going to go through some of the other articles in the issue first, and then we'll get to that really interesting, very practical feature discussion. Well Carolyn, now that I've got my cup of coffee, this paper's from your group. And I'm going to ask you, Carolyn, as if it was a feature discussion, what was the background information that went into this and what was the hypothesis that you wanted to address? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh, it's great because it's at least not a Carolyn quiz, so I'm very happy to talk to you about it. Sex differences, as you know, it's a passion of mine. And in response to heart failure pharmacotherapies, in particular, we know that there are sex differences, wherein women appear to benefit from newer hormonal modulators across a wider heart failure ejection fraction range compared to men. And this was particularly evident in the Paragon heart failure trial of Arne versus Valsartan. However, whether these considerations also apply to the sodium-glucose Cotransporter 2 inhibitors or SGLT 2 inhibitors, remains unclear. So along with the groups from the DAPA-HF and DELIVER trial, we therefore examine and assess the impact of sex on the efficacy and safety of dapagliflozin in a pre-specified pooled analysis of these trials. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very interesting, Carolyn. So, differences between men and women and evaluation of efficacy of SGLT 2 inhibitors. So what did you find? Dr. Carolyn Lam: In essence, women and men derived similar benefits from dapagliflozin for both the primary outcome of worsening heart failure or cardiovascular death. And for secondary outcomes, including improvement in health status across the full spectrum of ejection fraction in heart failure. Dapagliflozin was also safe and well tolerated in both sexes. So these findings are consistent with other SGLT 2 inhibitors and suggest a class effect. And in fact, this is very, very nicely discussed in an accompanying editorial by Dr. Ileana Piña. Dr. Greg Hundley: Ah, very nice, Carolyn. Well, my first study here comes from the world of preclinical science. And Carolyn, this study assesses the role of epsins in modulating endothelial to mesenchymal transition in atherosclerosis. So Carolyn, you may ask what are epsins? Well, epsins are ubiquitously expressed adapter proteins involved in the regulation of endocytosis. And then Carolyn, there's a second process addressed in this study. And Carolyn, it is known that chronic vascular inflammation, a hallmark of atherosclerosis, induces a process called endothelial to mesenchymal transition. And during endothelial to mesenchymal transition, the transition of non-smooth muscle cell-derived cells that are capable of maintaining indices of atherosclerotic lesion stability are lost. And this allows atherosclerosis to progress to a more advanced stage. So Carolyn, in this study led by Dr. Hong Chen, from Boston Children's Hospital, these authors wanted to know if impacting epsins could reduce endocytosis and thereby modify endothelial to mesenchymal transition and attenuate atherosclerosis progression. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Sounds like an important concept to address in the progression of atherosclerosis. So what did they find, Greg? Dr. Greg Hundley: Right, Carolyn. So the authors found that epsins are required for endothelial to mesenchymal transition, and that the loss of these proteins in the endothelium reduces endothelial to mesenchymal transition by permitting sustained fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 protein, FGRF1, signaling by inhibiting the degradation of this receptor complex. They also demonstrate the efficacy of blocking epsin FGRF1 interactions specifically in atheromas using systemic administration of a targeted epsin UIM containing peptide to inhibit endothelial to mesenchymal transition and atherosclerosis progression in APO deficient and PCSK9 mutant viral induced atherosclerotic models. So Carolyn, in summary, these authors show that blocking these epsin FGRF1 interactions could provide a new approach to combat atherosclerosis progression. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow, Greg, thanks. Well, this next paper is an important preclinical paper showing that agents that induce senescence in cells of pulmonary vasculature can unexpectedly worsen rather than ameliorate pulmonary hypertension. So this paper is from Professor Serge Adnot and colleagues from Hospital Henri-Mondor in France. And they began by showing that in human lung tissues from pulmonary hypertension patients, about 30% of lung endothelial and smooth muscle cells have elevated P16, an observation recently also reported by others, as further evidence of senescence. Many of the cells with elevated P16 also had an increase in unrepaired DNA damage. They then used multiple senolytic strategies in several animal models to remove senescent cells and then found unexpectedly that eliminating senescent cells aggravated rather than suppressed pulmonary hypertension development. As models of pulmonary hypertension, the authors examined a number of animal models of pulmonary hypertension. That included rats exposed to chronic hypoxia, rats injected with the toxin monocrotaline, and rats injected with a VEGF receptor blocker prior to exposure to chronic hypoxia. As well as mice over-expressing the serotonin transporter in smooth muscle cells. And mice with P16 over-expression that develop pulmonary hypertension with age. So lots of animal models were tested and these animals also received the senolytic ABT 263 or FOX04-DRI, that would be expected to remove senolytic cells with equivalent results. Dr. Greg Hundley: Wow, Carolyn, so multiple animal models highlighting that senescent cells in the pulmonary vasculature can worsen rather than attenuate pulmonary hypertension. So what are the clinical implications of these models? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Well, this is discussed in a beautiful editorial by Dr. Rabinovitch that accompanies this paper. And quoting from that editorial, "The study is therefore extremely important in pointing out the potential overkill of senolytics in promoting rather than reversing pulmonary hypertension. The study also has particularly important translational implications as it indicates that the potential efficacy of an emerging therapy relies on the underlying disease mechanism and animal model use, the cell specificity dose, and root of administration." So lots of translational implications of this paper. Dr. Greg Hundley: Wow, Carolyn, so we've got some other articles in this issue and it looks like you've got a great review of those to describe. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Sure, I'd love to tell you about them. First there's a letter from Dr. Liao regarding the article, "Association Between Device Measured Physical Activity and Incident Heart Failure: A Prospective Cohort Study of the UK Biobank Participants." There's also a Cardiovascular Case Series by Dr. Ostrominski on "Pulling Out All The Stops: A Case of Progressive Dyspnea." In Cardiology News by Tracy Hampton, there's a story of scientists creating spatial map of cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction, published in Nature. Loss of Y chromosome in myeloid cells promoting cardiac fibrosis, published in Science. And details behind the DNMT3A and TET2 mutations linking atherosclerosis. And that's published in Immunity. There's also a Perspective piece by Dr. Somers on “Whom to Screen and How to Screen for Obstructive Sleep Apnea in The Cardiology Clinic?” And a Research Letter by Dr. Felker on the clinical implications of negatively adjudicated heart failure events, data from the Victoria study. Dr. Greg Hundley: Wow, Carolyn, this issue, it's just packed with information. Well, how about we get on to that feature discussion? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Let's go. Thanks. Dr. Greg Hundley: Welcome listeners, to this feature discussion on this February 21, where we're going to delve into the world of valvular heart disease. And we have with us today Dr. Amil Shah from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, and our own associate editor, Dr. Ntobeko Ntusi from Cape Town in South Africa. Welcome gentlemen. Well Amil, we'll start with you. Could you describe for us some of the background information that really went into the preparation of your study and what was the hypothesis that you wanted to address? Dr. Amil Shah: Well, thanks very much, Greg, and let me start by thanking you and the circulation team for the interest in this paper and the opportunity to discuss it with you today. So I think in terms of background, we know that the prevalence and incidence of valvular heart disease increases with age, and that severe valvular heart disease is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. Sub-severe valvular heart disease is, of course, even more common and has also been associated with worse cardiovascular outcomes. So I'm thinking of earlier studies that have associated even aortic sclerosis in the absence of stenosis with worse outcomes. Acknowledging the progressive nature of valvular heart disease, the ACCHA valve guidelines adopted this framework of valvular heart disease stages, where stage A was really defined as at risk for valvular dysfunction based on valve morphology in the absence of hemodynamic perturbation. Stage B is progressive valve dysfunctions. This is commonly what we would clinically consider mild or moderate valvular lesions. And then stage C, severe asymptomatic valve dysfunction. Stage D, severe symptomatic valve dysfunction. And we believe that looking at valvular heart disease in the context of these stages, as opposed to just as the hemodynamic severity of the lesion, can provide important insights into the burden of valvular heart disease. And especially sub-severe valvular heart disease in at-risk individuals, and in particular in older individuals. But the prevalence of these stages in the community and their progression over time really prior to this, to our knowledge, hasn't been described. And so really our aims and our hypotheses in this paper was to understand the prevalence of valvular heart stages amongst older adults. And really what we anticipate is that a large proportion of individuals in late life would have at least stage A, if not stage B, valvular heart disease. To describe the prognostic relevance of these stages, and particularly the sub-severe stages, and we anticipated that even stage A or stage B relative to no stage would be associated with worse outcomes, based on the prior literature. And finally, to characterize the rate of progression in late life. Dr. Greg Hundley: So rather than just the hemodynamic significance, it sounds like we're going to investigate the stages of valvular heart disease in an elderly population and associate that with prognosis. So how did we do that? What was your study design and can you describe for us also your study population? Dr. Amil Shah: Sure, of course. So we ended up using longitudinal data from a large cohort of older adults who are participating in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities, or ARIC study. So ARIC is an NHLBI funded longitudinal epidemiologic cohort. It's actually been following participants from four communities in the US since 1986. So Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Minnesota. Echocardiography was performed in just over 6,000. So 6,118 individuals are participants in 2011 to 2013. And at that time the mean age was 76. Just under 3,000 of those individuals underwent a repeat echocardiogram in 2018 to 2019. So that's a time elapse of about six and a half years, at which time the mean age was 81. So we're really looking at how things are changing between the ages of 76 to 81 years of age. We really focused on the mitral and aortic valves and determined or ascertained the stage of regurgitation or stenosis in those valves using a combination of quantitative and qualitative criteria based on the study echocardiograms, which are all read and interpreted centrally. And of course, each valve gets its own stage. And so for the purposes of this paper, we classified individuals as an overall valvular heart disease stage based on whichever valve had the highest grade lesion. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. So using the ARIC study and then following the stages. So describe for us, Amil, what were your study results? Dr. Amil Shah: So at the first assessment, so amongst these approximately 6,000 individuals who had imaging in 2011 and 2013, the prevalence of stage A valvular heart disease was about 39% of individuals. Stage B, which again would be progressive, was about 17% of individuals. And stage C or D, which is really severe valvular heart disease, which was just over 1% in this community based population. And again, another 1% had previously undergone valve replacement or repair. And not surprisingly, even amongst this older cohort, older age was associated with a higher prevalence of each one of these stages. Then over a median follow up of about six and a half years, we looked at the association of each one of these stages with incident cardiovascular events relative to that group of individuals who were free of valvular heart disease stage in this cohort. And in each one of these stages, including stage A, was associated with a higher risk of incident heart failure, incident atrial fibrillation, coronary heart disease, which is largely MI, and then all-cause mortality. And that was true after accounting for many of common cardiovascular risk factors we usually think about as being related to risk for these outcomes. Interestingly, there was not an association with incident stroke in this study, although I will say our numbers for incident events were modest. Dr. Greg Hundley: Now, did you find similar results for men and for women? Dr. Amil Shah: So these results were fairly consistent for men, for women. And then the other demographic subgroup we looked at is... One of the unique features of ARIC is that it is a biracial cohort. And so when we looked at demographic subgroups based on both gender and race group, these trends were similar. Dr. Greg Hundley: And I know, Amil, right at the beginning you were discussing the importance of the stages versus the hemodynamic consequences. Did you do any comparisons, for many of us that are following patients, for example, with aortic stenosis? Did you find a discrepancy between using the stage as the defining term for a patient as opposed to the hemodynamic significance of one of these valve lesions? Dr. Amil Shah: Yeah, that's an excellent question. And so I think the first point to make is the valvular heart disease stages, of course, that we are assigning are based on the highest stage lesion, and so, of the four lesions we assessed. And part of this is a little nuanced, I guess, based on how the guidelines have defined these stages. So interestingly, if you look at stage A valvular heart disease, the majority of those individuals are getting in due to mild mitral regurgitation, because mild mitral regurgitation is considered stage A. In contrast, if you look at stage B, the majority of those individuals are getting in because of mild aortic regurgitation, because mild AR is considered stage B. And then stage C/D is really driven by aortic stenosis, probably not surprisingly. So what we can do is look not only overall, but also by stage within lesion. And certainly for aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation, which are the most common valvular lesions we encountered, we saw similar findings. For mitral stenosis we had very few cases. So I don't think we can really comment on that based on this study. And for aortic regurgitation, we largely had individuals with no regurgitation or mild regurgitation, only a few with moderate. So again, we're a little bit limited in commenting on that. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. Well, thank you so much, Amil. And listeners, now we're going to turn to our associate editor, Dr. Ntobeko Ntusi from Cape Town, South Africa. Ntobeko, you have many papers that come across your desk. What intrigued you about this particular paper? Dr. Ntobeko Ntusi: Thanks, Greg. I'd like to start by congratulating Amil and his co-authors on this paper, which as an associate editor was an absolute pleasure to handle. And the reason why we liked it are two-fold. Firstly, it's a large study, simple science of over 6,000 people. Very well characterized cohort clinically. We also liked its prospective design, as well as the protocolized nature of the echocardiograms. We liked that there was a central facility for core reading of all of these echocardiograms. And the use of a well-validated system of categorizing valvular heart disease. And importantly, we also liked the fact that it is a very representative study in terms of ethnicity and sex. And for me, there were three important takeaway messages from this study which advance our concepts of valvular heart disease. The first is that we've known for a long time that most severe valvular heart disease is associated with poor outcomes. But for the first time, this study provides us with data that shows a clear created association between the valve stage and outcomes related to mortality incident at fila and incident AF. So this is a new contribution. The second important novel contribution from the study is the data they provided on disease progression between stages of valvular heart disease. And then thirdly, I really liked the figures, in particular figure three and figure four, which I think are going to be highly cited and used in many presentations. So figure three demonstrates the Kaplan-Meier curves and shows survival rates dependent on the stage of valvular heart disease. And figure four, beautiful alluvial plot showing disease progression. And for these reasons we thought this was a piece that we would like to include in Circulation. Thanks, Greg. Dr. Greg Hundley: Thanks so much, Ntobeko. Well Amil, based on all this work, where are you going next? What do you see as the next study to really be performed in this sphere of research? Dr. Amil Shah: So two major findings I think that may have downstream consequences for future studies, first relate to identifying a subgroup A. That these valvular heart disease stages progress fairly substantially over fairly limited periods of time in late life. And really identify older individuals with certainly stage B, but even stage A valvular heart disease as a group, not only that we should screen with follow up, as recommended by the guidelines when we do detect sub-severe valvular lesions. But also potentially for therapeutics to prevent progression as those become increasingly available. And so I think one place where this data may be very helpful is in thinking about at-risk groups to evaluate therapeutics in. I think the second place is this relationship of even stage A valvular heart disease with adverse outcomes, which I think suggests that when we see valve deformation on imaging, that is likely a marker of risks that we're not fully capturing using our other traditional cardiovascular risk factors. And potentially could begin to become incorporated into how we think about risk stratifying our patients. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. Ntobeko, do you have anything to add? Dr. Ntobeko Ntusi: Indeed. So I think in terms of future directions, there are probably three questions that I think would be important in taking this work forward. The first one is that this is clearly a descriptive epidemiological study. And for me it would be interesting to look at some of the mechanisms that underlie the adverse clinical outcomes associated with different stages of valvular heart disease. Two, the follow-up is relatively short and I think that it will be interesting as these individuals continue to be followed up long term, to see how these observations are either strengthened or evolve over time. And then finally, which is probably not going to be possible with the ARIC cohort. I think it would be useful to also look at rates of disease progression, but also the associations with outcomes in a younger cohort. And so for me, those would be interesting future ways of taking this work forward in the future. Thank you, Greg. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. Well, listeners, we're going to wrap up and we want to thank Dr. Amil Shah from Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, and our associate editor, Dr. Ntobeko Ntusi from Cape Town in South Africa, for bringing us this study highlighting that subclinical valvular heart disease is common in older adults with 39% at risk for stage A, and 17% with progressive valvular heart disease, or stage B. And they are independently associated with the risk of incident cardiovascular events. Well, on behalf of Peder, Carolyn and myself, we want to wish you a great week and we will catch you next week on the run. This program is copyright of the American Heart Association 2023.

Nick Yudell was a gifted photographer. But at just 26 years old, Yudell, a member of the Royal Canadian Air Force fighting Nazis in the Second World War, was killed in action. He and his five crewmates were shot down by German forces over Tunisia. After he was killed, he left behind a gray hand-painted box full of hundreds of film negatives. Yudell excelled at portraiture and street life, and his unpublished work depicted the everyday world of his hometown of Morden, Manitoba, as well as Winnipeg, where he attended high school. His family saved that box ever since his death; and this year, thanks to one of his cousins, Celia Rabinovitch, the war hero has received his very own exhibit at the Manitoba Museum. The Lost Expressionist opened in February and runs until December, and today, Rabinovitch joins to explain how she kept a promise to her late father by doing something noteworthy with the family's treasure trove of art.

How Clothes Limited & Empowered Women Through History With Professor Einav Rabinovitch-Fox With Host Richard Levick of LEVICK: Case Western Reserve University Professor Einav Rabinovitch-Fox, author of Dressed for Freedom: The Fashionable Politics of American Feminism and a recent article in the History News Network on fashion and race, joins host Richard Levick of LEVICK to discuss the intersections between fashion, politics and modernity. Often condemned as a form of oppression, fashion could and did allow women to express modern gender identities and promote feminist ideas. Professor Rabinovitch-Fox examines how clothes empowered women -- particularly women barred from positions of influence due to race or class. She starts from the 1890s shirtwaists through the miniskirts and unisex styles of the 1970s and shows how the rise of mass media culture made fashion a vehicle for women to assert claims over their bodies, femininity and social roles. She also explores how Ralph Lauren's HBCU Tribute Line is part of a long history of fighting for recognition through fashion.
Who knew preventing thigh chafe for thousands of women around the world could smash diet culture and fatphobia at the same time?Marnie didn't listen when experts told her chub rub was too niche for a business. Instead, she channelled her fire for solving this painful problem into a business that's changing the world!In this episode we dive into:When your business becomes a mission and you're committed to changing lives you find the strength to keep going when things get hardHow Marnie had to prove that solving thigh chafe was not a niche problemChanging society's preconceived notions that chub rub only happens to plus-size peopleRelatable stories on our mission to prevent chub rubHow solving thigh chafe become a crusade for changeWhy Thigh Society became a transformative experience for Marnie on a personal levelChallenging fatphobia, diet culture, and the way we objectify ourselves and each other“The business was a really transformative experience for me personally.

In Dressed for Freedom: The Fashionable Politics of American Feminism (University of Illinois Press, 2021), Einav Rabinovitch-Fox examines how clothes empowered women, and particularly women barred from positions of influence due to race or class. Moving from 1890s shirtwaists through the miniskirts and unisex styles of the 1970s, Rabinovitch-Fox shows how the rise of mass media culture made fashion a vehicle for women to assert claims over their bodies, femininity, and social roles. She highlights how trends in women's sartorial practices expressed ideas of independence and equality. As women employed new clothing styles, they expanded feminist activism beyond formal organizations and movements and reclaimed fashion as a realm of pleasure, power, and feminist consciousness.

Show NotesAugust 16, 2021I was honored today to speak with Edward Halperin, MD, a pediatric radiation oncologist, and Chancellor and Chief Executive Officer of New York Medical College, Valhalla, NY. Dr. Halperin is an erudite student of medical history and authored the recent article, ‘“We do not want him because he is a Jew:” The Montreal Interns' Strike of 1934,' published in the Annals of Internal Medicine (1). The story resonated with me for several reasons, one of which is because I was a neurology resident and epilepsy fellow in Montreal from 1985-1989. Dr. Halperin's research puts the current discussion of institutional racism in medicine into relevant historical context.During this 25-minute interview, Dr. Halperin relates the almost forgotten story of Samuel Rabinovitch, MD, the top medical student at the University of Montreal and Jewish intern (briefly!) at the Montreal Notre-Dame Hospital. To protest the hiring of a Jew, 75 French Canadian Roman Catholic interns from multiple hospitals chose to disregard their patient responsibilities and leave Dr. Rabinovitch as the sole intern on duty. Concerned that the strike deprived so many patients of medical care, Dr. Rabinovitch took the high road and resigned. Dr. Halperin also discussed his research regarding quotas that limited Jews and other ethnic groups from entering medical and dental school from the 1920s to the 1960s. Specifically, he investigated why some hospitals defied this policy and integrated their classes. To learn what happened to Dr. Rabinovitch and gain more insight into discrimination in medicine, please take time out of your day to listen to Dr. Halperin!For more fascinating discussions, please subscribe to “The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner” www.youtube.com/c/andrewwilnermdauthorAlso available on your favorite podcast player.PS: Now available on Alexa!

Post Face, émission littéraire présentée par Caroline Gutmann qui reçoit Anne Berestpour son roman « La carte postale » paru au éditions Grasset À propos du livre : « La carte postale» paru aux éditions Grasset C'était en janvier 2003. Dans notre boîte aux lettres, au milieu des traditionnelles cartes de voeux, se trouvait une carte postale étrange. Elle n'était pas signée, l'auteur avait voulu rester anonyme. L'Opéra Garnier d'un côté, et de l'autre, les prénoms des grands-parents de ma mère, de sa tante et son oncle, morts à Auschwitz en 1942. Vingt ans plus tard, j'ai décidé de savoir qui nous avait envoyé cette carte postale. J'ai mené l'enquête, avec l'aide de ma mère. En explorant toutes les hypothèses qui s'ouvraient à moi. Avec l'aide d'un détective privé, d'un criminologue, j'ai interrogé les habitants du village où ma famille a été arrêtée, j'ai remué ciel et terre. Et j'y suis arrivée. Cette enquête m'a menée cent ans en arrière. J'ai retracé le destin romanesque des Rabinovitch, leur fuite de Russie, leur voyage en Lettonie puis en Palestine. Et enfin, leur arrivée à Paris, avec la guerre et son désastre. J'ai essayé de comprendre comment ma grand-mère Myriam fut la seule qui échappa à la déportation. Et éclaircir les mystères qui entouraient ses deux mariages. J'ai dû m'imprégner de l'histoire de mes ancêtres, comme je l'avais fait avec ma sœur Claire pour mon livre précédent, Gabriële. Ce livre est à la fois une enquête, le roman de mes ancêtres, et une quête initiatique sur la signification du mot « Juif » dans une vie laïque.

Today on the BodPod, we are chatting with Marnie Rabinovitch Consky, the founder, CEO, and chief anti-chafing champion of Thigh Society, a specialty underwear brand offering moisture-wicking, breathable, and discreet slip shorts that prevent inner-thigh rash. Thigh Society was born from Marnie's desire to dispel the notion surrounding “chub rub” and to produce undergarments with high quality fabric, fit, and an inclusive size range. The brand is a champion of the body confidence movement and recently sponsored the BodCon Social Club at our Beach Bodies event. In this episode, we'll talk about Marnie's background and what led her to creating such an incredible product and brand. Marnie will also break down the misconception around thigh chafing, the difference between men's and women's undergarments, and the wide range of sizes that Thigh Society offers. Last but not least, Marnie and I will discuss the way in which social media has evolved to allow us to be more open about these taboo subjects, the way in which diet culture has infiltrated our lives, and the slippery slope that is shape wear. Keep listening to hear how Marnie is working to destigmatize chafing. Instagram: @marnieconsky & @thighsociety Website: www.thighsociety.com
Please join editorialist Padma Kaul and Associate Editor Karol Watson as they discuss the original research article "Preterm Delivery and Long-Term Risk of Stroke in Women: A National Cohort and Cosibling Study" and the editorial "Pregnancy as Oracle: What it Augurs for Women's Health." Dr. Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast, summary and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. We're your co-hosts, I'm Dr. Carolyn Lam, associate editor from the National Heart Center and Duke National University of Singapore. Dr. Greg Hundley: And I'm Dr. Greg Hundley, associate editor, director of the Pauley Heart Center at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh Greg, today's feature paper is really important. It's about preterm delivery and the long-term risk of stroke in women. A very, very important cardiovascular risk factor that we don't talk about. This is important data from the national cohort and co-sibling study. So hang on, look out for it. But first, how would you take us through some of your spotted original papers? Dr. Greg Hundley: So Carolyn, my first paper comes to us from Dr. Guido Claessen from University Hospitals in Leuven. Exertional intolerance, Carolyn, is a limiting and often crippling symptom in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, and traditionally, the etiology has been attributed to central factors, including ventilation, perfusion mismatch, increased pulmonary vascular resistance and right heart dysfunction and uncoupling. So pulmonary endarterectomy and balloon pulmonary angioplasty provides substantial improvement of functional status and hemodynamics. However, despite normalization of these pulmonary hemodynamics, exercise capacity often does not return to age-predicted values. So by systemically evaluating the oxygen pathway, these authors aim to elucidate the causes of functional limitations of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension patients before and after these pulmonary vascular interventional procedures. Dr. Carolyn Lam: So very interesting. Tell us more, what did they find, Greg? Dr. Greg Hundley: Yeah, well Carolyn, they utilize cardiovascular magnetic resonance, as you know, one of my big interests, but guess what? They also did it with exercise and simultaneous invasive hemodynamic monitoring. The authors in doing so, sought to quantify the steps of the oxygen transport cascade from the mouth to the mitochondria in patients with this pulmonary hypertension. So they had 20 subjects with pulmonary hypertension and they compared those to 10 healthy individuals. Furthermore Carolyn, the authors evaluated the effect of pulmonary vascular intervention procedures, both endarterectomy or balloon angioplasty, on the individual components of the cascade in 10 of those 20 individuals. Dr. Greg Hundley: So what did they find? They found that in this chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension condition, these patients, they have significant impairments of all steps in the oxygen utilization cascade, resulting in markedly impaired exercise capacity, the thick equation uncoupled. And pulmonary vascular interventions increased, peak VO2, by partly correcting the oxygen delivery, but having no impact on abnormalities in peripheral oxygen extraction. Dr. Greg Hundley: So Carolyn, this suggests that the current interventions only partially address patient's limitations and that additional therapies may improve functional capacity, such as improvement in skeletal muscle function and metabolism. So maybe one of your faves, cardiac rehab, perhaps could work on some of those peripheral factors in these patients. So, really interesting, very well accomplished study. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Nice, elegant and clinically impactful. Very nice. Well, the next paper is the same. We know that prenatal detection has benefits for infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome and transposition of the great arteries. Well, this next paper describes the largest multicenter study to evaluate whether social economic quartile, public insurance, race or ethnicity, rural residence and distance from the residence are associated with the prenatal detection of critical congenital heart diseases in North America. This study is from Dr. Krishnan from Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC and colleagues. Basically, what they found was that lower socioeconomic position, Hispanic ethnicity, and rural residence were all associated with decrease prenatal detection rates of hypoplastic left heart syndrome and transposition of the great arteries. Dr. Greg Hundley: Wow Carolyn, so social determinants of health, interesting. So how do we, as clinicians, apply these results? Dr. Carolyn Lam: Well, clinicians can use the findings of the study to focus efforts on improving overall prenatal detection rates for congenital heart disease. They can specifically improve health equity in prenatal detection and timing of prenatal detection by improving linkages between tertiary care centers and these populations and regions that were identified in this study. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice Carolyn. Well, I'm going to turn to the world of aortic aneurysms and this next paper comes to us from Dr. Maria Mittelbrun from Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa. Carolyn, it involves Marfan syndrome, which you know, is an autosomal dominant disorder of the connective tissue caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene, encoding a large glycoprotein in the extracellular called fibrillin one. The major complication, again as you know, of this connective disorder is the risk to develop thoracic aortic aneurysms. To date, no effective pharmacological therapies have been identified for the management of thoracic aortic disease and the only options capable of preventing aneurysm rupture are surgery. So here, the authors studied the role of mitochondrial dysfunction in the progression of thoracic aortic aneurysm dilation, and mitochondrial boosting strategies as a potential treatment to manage these aneurysms. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Wow, that's really fascinating. So what did they find? Dr. Greg Hundley: So Carolyn, just like in circulation, these wonderful translational basic science studies, the research here by these authors was performed in both mice and in patient samples from Marfans patients. So mitochondrial function of vascular smooth muscle cells was found to be controlled by the extracellular matrix and drive the development of aortic aneurysm in the Marfan syndrome. Interestingly, restoring mitochondrial metabolism with the NAD precursors nicotinamide riboside rapidly reversed aortic aneurysm in the fibrillin positive mice. Thus Carolyn, the clinical implications are that by potentially targeting vascular metabolism, a new available therapeutic strategy for managing aortic aneurysms associated with these genetic disorders, such as Marfan syndrome, may become available. Really interesting new development in the world of managing aortic aneurysm dilation in patients with Marfan syndrome. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh my goodness, that would be paradigm shifting. Wow, hope that's going to be pursued further. Well, this next one is from the preclinical world and this study really uncovered a metabolic transcriptional axis that explains how dividing cells coordinate metabolism with gene regulation in pulmonary arterial hypertension. So this is from Dr. Rabinovitch and colleagues from Stanford University School of Medicine who applied RNA sequencing to pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells from patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension with and without a BMPR2 mutation compared to control pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, basically to uncover genes required for their heightened proliferation and glycolytic metabolism. The assessment of differentially expressed genes establish metabolism as a major pathway. The most highly up-regulated metabolic gene was aldehyde dehydrogenase family 1 member 3, an enzyme previously linked to glycolysis and proliferation in cancer cells and systemic vascular smooth muscle cells, but now demonstrated in pulmonary arterial hypertension. Isn't that cool? Dr. Carolyn Lam: The findings were basically like this, an increase in this particular aldehyde dehydrogenase family 1 member 3, underlined the heightened proliferation and glycolysis of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells in patients with both idiopathic and hereditary pulmonary artery hypertension, while promoting survival of their endothelial cells under stress. The authors further uncovered the way this molecule interacted with genetic factors in doing so and then finally demonstrated that transgenic mice with the deletion in smooth muscle cells did not develop chronic hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension. Dr. Greg Hundley: Wow Carolyn, really new, inventive material from the world of basic science. So what's the take-home message? Dr. Carolyn Lam: So these findings really suggest that selectively disrupting the pivotal role of aldehyde dehydrogenase family 1 member 3 in pulmonary artery hypertension smooth muscle cells, note that was smooth muscle cells, not the endothelial cells, may be a important therapeutic consideration in patients. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. Dr. Carolyn Lam: So Greg, let me tell you about some other articles in today's issue. There's an exchange of letters between Drs. Pengo and Kario 00:10:36 regarding the article Nighttime Blood Pressure Phenotype And Cardiovascular Prognosis, A Practitioner-based Nationwide JAMP Study. Dr. Greg Hundley: Great Carolyn, well also in the mail bag, we have a perspective piece from Professor Chang entitled Trial By Wildfire, The Need To Expand The Framework Of Environmental Determinants Of Cardiovascular Health From Climate Change To Planetary Health. Also, there's a primer from Professor Miano entitled The Fate And State Of Smooth Muscle Cells And Atherosclerosis. Then lastly, we have another article from the world of basic science, a research letter from Dr. Ieda entitled Overexpression Of GATA4, MEF2C and TBX5 Generates Induced Cardiomyocytes Via Direct Reprogramming And Rare Fusion In The Heart. Well, Carolyn, how about we get to the world of preterm delivery and onto that feature article? Dr. Carolyn Lam: I'm there already, let's go. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, listeners. Now we are turning to our feature discussion and we're so excited today to have with us our editorialist for this article, Dr. Padma Kaul and our own associate editor, Dr. Karol Watson and we'll be discussing today, a paper related to preterm delivery and long-term risk of stroke in women. Padma, I'd like to start with you. Describe for us a little bit, the context for this study, and then what were the authors' study population and study design? Dr. Padma Kaul: So Greg, this is a study, which is a retrospective cohort study from Sweden and they looked at women who had given birth over a pretty long period of time, from 1973 to 2015. In over two million women, they looked at the association between preterm birth and the long-term development of stroke in the mothers. It's a really interesting study. What they did find is that preterm birth was associated with a higher hazard ratio for stroke, over 48 million person years of follow-up. The authors also did an interesting co-sibling analysis to supplement what the overall primary analysis. This was by looking at a subset of women who had at least one sibling in the cohort. The point of that was to assure that the association between preterm birth and stroke risk remained, even after you account for familial or genetic environmental factors. They do find that it was demonstrated even in the subset. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice, just a couple quick clarifying points. Were these ischemic strokes, were they hemorrhagic strokes? And then give me a little bit of definition. How did they define preterm? Dr. Padma Kaul: So preterm was in less than 37 weeks of gestation, and they looked at both hemorrhagic as well as ischemic strokes in the women. So they did an overall stroke endpoint as well as looked at whether these two types of strokes, whether the relationship stayed. Dr. Greg Hundley: And was there any particular age at which these strokes occurred? Dr. Padma Kaul: That's an excellent point. As I told you, that the time period of the study is pretty long. So they did stratify the follow-up period into 10 year segments, and they found that higher risk in the early part of the 10 and the 10 to 20 time periods. It stayed in the latter periods as well, but it was more so associated with a higher hazard in the early time periods, the 10 and the 20. Dr. Greg Hundley: Thank you so much, Padma. Well now listeners, we're going to turn to our associate editor, Dr. Karol Watson from UCLA. Karol, I know working on the editorial board at Circulation, you see many papers come across your desk. What attracted you to this particular manuscript? And how would you put the results from this study in the context of other studies that have really evaluated women's health in this situation? Dr. Karol Watson: That's a fabulous question. I think really so many great manuscripts come in and there are important features of many of them, but this one caught my eye for a couple of reasons. It was so incredibly well done. This is a huge, huge cohort of over two million women and it's from Sweden, where they keep really exquisite records, so we had so much data on this population. So we really got to know all about these soliton deliveries in Sweden, over a 40 year period. So the great cohort that was really well characterized, the really long follow-up. I love the co-sibling analysis that they talked about, they really did control for so many things, shared familial factors, shared genetic factors, covariates. So they just did a fabulous study. Dr. Karol Watson: So, in the whole realm of women's health, we are understanding that pregnancy is a great window into a woman's vascular future. So we now know so many things, we know that preterm delivery is amongst those pregnancy outcomes that we have to look for. So we have to look for pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, but also preterm delivery and pregnancy loss. So all of these things are telling us that a woman's vascular system is under stress and we have to do things to make sure they have good outcomes, because we know they're at greater risk. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice. So as leading experts in the era, Padma first to you, and then I'll come back to Karol. Padma, tell us, what do you think is the next area of research that needs to be explored in this topic area? Dr. Padma Kaul: I think that this is an observational study. So one of the things we have to recognize is how do we add to the evidence that this study has provided us? That I think, is to see if in other cohorts, similar pregnancy birth cohorts with longitudinal data, whether we observe the same patterns that we ever observed in Sweden. Sweden is actually quite unique in terms of the makeup of the population and these are historical trends. We do know that the characteristics of the mothers who are giving birth are changing over time. Women are delaying childbirth, they are getting heavier, they may have preexisting conditions. So I think to keep monitoring the health of the mothers and pregnancy factors is what is needed to move the field forward. Dr. Greg Hundley: Very nice, and Karol? Karol, would you like to add anything? Dr. Karol Watson: Yeah, I agree completely with what Padma says. The beauty of the Swedish cohort is how well characterized it is, but one of the limitations is it's a fairly homogenous cohort. So I would love to see similar data in other racial or ethnic groups. We'd also like to see, again, as Padma said, this is observational cohort study, so we don't know truly the causal validy here, although this is a really good study to identify this trend. I would love to think of ways why this might be, we really don't have a good handle on the pathobiology. We can surmise some things endothelial dysfunction, et cetera, but we just don't know for sure. The other thing I'd like to think of is ways we might address mitigating risk. If this truly is a risk factor, how are we going to help these women have better vascular outcomes. But again, a great study to start all these questions. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, thank you Karol and Padma and listeners. We certainly want to thank both Drs. Kaul and Watson for their time today and also the author group under the direction of Dr. Casey Crump for submitting this article to us at Circulation reporting on this large cohort of women from Sweden, identifying a preterm delivery and long-term risk of both ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. Dr. Greg Hundley: Well, on behalf of Carolyn and myself, we want to wish you a great week and we will catch you next week on the run.

071: Using Research to Inform Your Yoga with Ariana Rabinovich Ariana Robinovich is a yoga teacher and Movement Specialist based in New York City. She is the founder of Yoga Research and Beyond which makes research accessible and helps teachers translate research into practice. Ariana also teaches students one-on-one and in group classes, offers Continuing Education courses for fitness professionals, hosts her podcasts and co-wrote a book series called Exposing Yoga Myths. In this episode Shannon and Ariana discuss the value of research informed teaching. Ariana's Yoga Research and Beyond membership site is a database of reviews about individual studies which are relevant to yoga teachers and Movement Educators. Ariana describes the reviews as Cliff Notes for the research study. The goal of the site is to take complex subjects and translate them into simple terms without the jargon, creating a bridge between science and application. Ariana talks to Shannon about finding meaning in these research studies and using them as a tool to inspire you and inform your teaching. Ariana wants to be clear that these studies do not provide black-and-white answers and that they should not be taken in without asking questions. Ariana goes on to describe the complicated nature of analyzing data. For example, if a study sees the overall improvement in the health of a research study group practicing yoga it may be difficult to ascertain the cause. As yoga is a practice that taps into the mind/body connection, the improvement may be due to factors such as breathing, meditation, the physicality or the particular style of yoga. Initial findings can spark future research studies. Ariana is adamant that she doesn't want to see yoga teachers becoming overwhelmed by the information. Yoga research is, as Ariana describes it: “an add-on and untapped resource.” The big goal of yoga research is to help yoga teachers get a clearer understanding of how yoga can help their clients and to determine how yoga can fit into alternative health care. 4:50 Ariana's yoga journey 9:05 What led Ariana to create her podcast Yoga & Beyond: The Yoga and Movement Science Podcast and the restructuring of her podcast 15:10 Ariana's Yoga Research and Beyond membership site is a database of reviews about individual studies which are relevant to yoga teachers and movement educators 20:05 The opportunity to dialogue with other members in the comment thread in individual articles of members-only Facebook group, sharing questions and intimidation around that- no question is a dumb question 22:45 The complex nature of analyzing research and applying results to the practice 29:20 Examples of yoga research studies and questions to ask yourself when reading the research 32:20 How research informed Ariana's teaching head and shoulder stands in group classes 34:00 How research changed Ariana's view on alignment and flexibility 39:00 How Ariana incorporates strengthening into her yoga classes 43:20 Ariana expands on alignment- when it is most important to be aware 46:00 When research conflicts with yoga teacher training 49:35 What Ariana wishes was included in YTT 53:30 The importance of collaborating with other health practitioners 54:25 Other research resources and advice on taking in new information 58:45 Identifying the bias in studies 1:01:20 Shannon's final thoughts Links Ariana's Website Ariana on Instagram Yoga Research and Beyond Instagram Yoga Research and Beyond Website **Membership discount for Yoga Research and Beyond Website: One-year membership for $79 instead of the regular price of $99.

À propos du livre : « Leçons de la Shoah » aux éditions Réseau Canopé Avec le soutien de la Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah. La Shoah est l appellation retenue pour nommer le génocide perpétré contre les populations juives d Europe pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Son épouvante hante la modernité. Un spectre encore peu déchiffré rôde dans l histoire de la civilisation européenne : le nazisme. Il s est produit là une rupture de civilisation dont nos vies contemporaines restent tributaires. Enseigner l effectivité de ces faits est uvre éducative, mais interroger ce qui y fait « leçons » et alertes reste un travail à ses prémisses qui appelle un croisement de disciplines. Un tel travail oblige à revisiter et rectifier quelques routines acquises et ignorances répétées. Gérard Rabinovitch est philosophe et sociologue. Il est l auteur de Terrorisme/Résistance. D une confusion lexicale à l époque des sociétés de masse (2014) et Somnambules et Terminators. Sur une crise civilisationnelle contemporaine (2016), parus aux Éditions Le Bord de l eau.

Emission présentée par Ariel Danan Dans son livre destiné aux personnels de l’Education nationale, Gérard Rabinovitch définit les principaux concepts historiques et philosophiques concernant la Shoah avant d’insister sur quelques points permettant d’analyser la Shoah sous un angle un peu différent, parmi lesquels l’importance du langage utilisé par les Nazis ou le fait que la doctrine nazie n’est pas surgie de « nulle part », ayant même des origines païennes. À propos du livre : "Leçons de la Shoah " édité par Réseau Canopé édite 27 janvier a lieu la Journée de la mémoire des génocides et de la prévention des crimes contre l’humanité. Réseau Canopé s’associe à cette journée en proposant de nouvelles ressources pédagogiques afin d’engager une réflexion avec les élèves sur l’holocauste et les génocides reconnus. Réseau Canopé édite l’ouvrage Leçons de la Shoah de Gérard Rabinovitch, une réflexion à la croisée de la philosophie, de la psychanalyse, de l’histoire et de l’anthropologie. L’auteur rappelle les préambules anciens et préalables de la Shoah, et situe les prémisses de l’antisémitisme moderne. L’ouvrage retrace la genèse et les mécanismes de l’exécution du génocide à l’encontre des populations juives dans l’Europe soumise au régime nazi. Mais il permet surtout de prendre toute la mesure de ce que « le nazisme a constitué pour l’Occident une échéance historique et un épisode de destructuration dont les sociétés contemporaines demeurent tributaires », tel que le souligne le juriste et psychanalyste Pierre Legendre. Enseigner l’effectivité des faits de la Shoah est œuvre éducative, mais interroger la désagrégation du sens commun de la justice, de la dignité, de la solidarité dont le nazisme a été l’agent, lors de cette déferlante de négations et d’inversions de toutes les valeurs qui a permis cette destruction, est un impératif civique, voire civilisationnel. Philosophe et sociologue, chercheur au CNRS, Gérard Rabinovitch est également directeur de l’Institut européen Emmanuel-Levinas de l’AIU. Il établit dans ses travaux l’articulation de la philosophie politique avec l’anthropologie psychanalytique et l’histoire. Auteur de nombreux ouvrages et articles de recherche, il explore le conflit entre « civilisation de vie » et « civilisation de mort » comme seul « choc » légitimement explorable et nommable des civilisations.
Emission présentée par Ariel Danan Afin d’analyser la Shoah, il convient de remonter non pas à l’antisémitisme du 19ème siècle mais beaucoup plus loin, jusqu’à l’époque gréco-romaine. C’est en effet à ce moment-là que se créent les premières formules rhétoriques antijuives qui seront récupérées ensuite par le monde chrétien puis au 19ème siècle.

Dr. Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and back-stage pass to the journal and its editors. I'm Dr. Carolyn Lam, Associate Editor, from the National Heart Center and Duke National University of Singapore. What is the evidence we have for LDL-lowering therapy in primary prevention? For individuals with an LDL cholesterol above 190 mg/dL, well, you may think you know the answer, but today's featured discussion may surprise you like it did for me, and this is a must-listen in my opinion for those of us taking care of these patients. More soon right after these summaries. How can we enhance the survival and therapeutic potential of human pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial cells? Well, the first paper in today's journal tells us how. The first author Dr. Lee, corresponding doctor Dr. Yoon, from Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, developed a novel, fully-defined, cell culture system to generate endothelial cells from human pluripotent stem cells. They not only showed that these endothelial cells had pro-angiogenic activities and exerted favorable therapeutic effects in repairing limb ischemia, but also showed that encapsulation of these cells in a biocompatible peptide amphiphile nanomatrix gel improved long-term survival of these endothelial cells in an ischemic environment and improved vessel-forming properties. This novel cell culture system and gel-mediated transplantation may serve as a novel platform for cell-based therapy. The next study brings us one step closer to application of immunomodulatory therapies in pulmonary arterial hypertension. In the study, first author Dr. Saito, corresponding author Dr. Rabinovitch, and colleagues from Stanford University School of Medicine isolated lung immune complexes and pulmonary arterial hypertension target antigens from lung tissues from 16 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and 12 controls. SAM domain and HD1 domain-containing protein, which is an innate immune factor that suppresses HIV replication, was identified and confirmed as highly expressed in immune complexes from patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. These immune complexes resulted from elevation in products of human endogenous retrovirus K. The human endogenous retrovirus K deoxyuridine triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase, or dUTPase, activated B cells, elevated cytokines and monocytes and pulmonary endothelial cells, and increased pulmonary arterial vulnerability to apoptosis, thus contributing to sustained inflammation, immune dysregulation, and progressive obliterative vascular remodeling. Furthermore, rats treated with the human endogenous retrovirus K dUTPase developed pulmonary hypertension. In summary, this study suggests that harnessing mechanisms that repress human endogenous retrovirus K expression and its sequelae could prevent and reverse pulmonary arterial hypertension. The next study looked at the association of timing of coronary angiography with ischemic outcomes of non-STEMI who are at high risk with a Gray score of more than 140 in the TAO Trial. In this report from first author Dr. Deharo, corresponding author Dr. Steg, and colleagues from L'Hopital Bichat from Paris, France showed that in these high risk, non-STEMI patients, a very early invasive strategy of coronary angiography within the first 12 hours was associated with a lower risk of death in MI at 180 days compared to an early strategy of between 12 to 24 hours or a delayed strategy of between 24 and 72 hours. The bleeding risk was not different between patients managed with the very early, early, or delayed strategy. These observations deserve prospective confirmation in a randomized trial. The next study provides contemporary mortality trends for STEMI and non-STEMI. In this paper from first author Dr. Puymirat, corresponding author Dr. Danchin, and colleagues from Hopital europeen Georges-Pompidou in Paris, France, the authors assess trends in the characteristics, treatments, and outcomes for EMI from five month-long registries conducted five years apart and spanning 1995 to 2015, including more than 14,000 patients admitted to cardiac intensive care units in metropolitan France. They observed major changes in the characteristics and management of both patients with STEMI and those with non-STEMI over the last 20 years. The mean age decreased in patients with STEMI and remained stable in patients with non-STEMI, whereas diabetes, obesity, and hypertension increased. At the acute stage, intended primary PCI increased from 12 to 76 percent in patients with STEMI. In patients with non-STEMI, PCI within 72 hours from admission increased from 9 to 60 percent. In parallel with these changes, six-month mortality consistently declined in patients with STEMI, whereas in patients with non-STEMI, six-month mortality reached a plateau after 2010. The authors concluded that future challenges will be to reduce pre-hospital mortality and to improve long-term survival after the acute myocardial infarction event. That wraps it up for your summaries. Now for our feature discussion! What evidence do we have from randomized trials supporting the benefit of LDL cholesterol lowering as primary prevention among patients with an LDL cholesterol above 190 mg/dL? You may be surprised to know that until today's journal, we had very little trial evidence supporting this. But I'm so pleased to have with us the corresponding author of our featured paper today, Dr. Kausik Ray from Imperial College, London, who's going tell us a bit more and discuss this very intriguing paper with our Editor for Digital Strategies, Dr. Amit Khera from UT Southwestern. Welcome, both. Dr. Kausik Ray: Hi. Dr. Amit Khera: Thanks for having us. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Kaus, you are a familiar voice and so pleased to have you here. Please tell us, is this the first evidence we have from a randomized trial for primary prevention in those with LDL above 190? Tell us about it. Dr. Kausik Ray: Yeah, it is. It really came about because we were interested in familial hypercholesterolemia and we used the level of 190 to talk about either primary hypercholesterolemia, which may have a genetic basis, or not. I kept hearing that there is no trial evidence, so you're not going to be able to ethically do a trial today despite the fact there's not much evidence, because most of us think that it's a bad thing to leave people on placebo in patients above 190, so I thought the only way to do this was to go historically to the WOSCOPS Study, which is, as you remember, 6,500 people, elevated LDL cholesterol. Interestingly, you go to WOSCOPS, the median LDL in that population is very close to 190. So, that gives a good starting point, thinking that we'll have at least half the population. Now interestingly in WOSCOPS, although none of the patients had a history of myocardial infarction, a very small number of the 6,500, about 1,000 actually had evidence of some other vascular disease, so maybe a TIA, maybe angina, maybe some sort of ECG non-specific change of coronary disease. Today, you would say, well, actually, you've got to give these people a statin because there's evidence of vascular disease, PVD, et cetera. So we had to take those people out and that left us with 5,529. Once you break people down by LDLs above and below 190, you have 2,560. You could actually look at the randomized treatment effect of pravastatin, which was the statin chosen, over a five year period both above and below 190. But interestingly, this was the first study and what we showed was that in this population, even with as little as 23% reduction in LDL cholesterol, over a five year period, you saw a statistically significant 27% reduction in CHD and if you take the usual 3 point MACE of current clinical trials, there was a 25% reduction, already statistically significant. We also had the ability to link data over 20 years. Remember, after the five year randomized treatment period, it becomes observational in nature, but what it showed was that when you gave nearly 40% in each arm statins and you followed people up this legacy effect, over a 20 year period, the people with the LDL above 190, that translated into this 28% reduction in CHD death. It translated into a 25% reduction in CV death, and actually an 18% reduction in all-cause mortality, which you didn't see in the population with slightly lower LDL cholesterol. This is the best evidence we're ever going to get, really, and answer the question about what should we do in this patient population. Should we treat with lipid-lowering therapy? The answer, unequivocally, is yes, and the longer you treat, the more likely you are to see survival benefits. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Oh, my goodness! I just love his paper. I have to humbly admit. I mean, it's in the guidelines already that we should treat these individuals with LDL above 190, and it really made me think how I'd taken for granted that there would be a whole body of evidence behind it from randomized trials, and you are right! This is the first, and likely going to be the last we're going to get, because we can't randomize them. So, congratulations. What you said just now, I can already hear myself playing this podcast to my patients. May I just ask, are there other remaining questions to answer, and then what do you also say to those that say, well what are the harms? How do you balance that with any potential harms? Dr. Kausik Ray: In this particular study, given there was overall safety data observed in the WOSCOPS Trial population and in their extended follow-up in the overall 6,500 person cohort, we didn't go on and look at that. There was no evidence of harm in the extended follow-up of 6.500 people, so we didn't see the potential added gain in specifically looking for that. The main question we wanted to answer, because people had always pulled primary and secondary prevention patients together, and in fact, your best evidence is actually from CTT, pooling of primary and secondary prevention patients where they break the data down by an upper limit of about 175. With patients above 175, they don't specifically answer that question. So, to answer your question, we didn't look at that in the overall WOSCOPS Trial population. There was no signal for harm that was noticed. Even things like glucose elevation, if you remember in WOSCOPS, tended to be a little bit lower. Dr. Amit Khera: Let me comment on a few things about this paper. First, I want to congratulate Dr. Ray and his colleagues. I was a history major and I think this is a great use of a historical tool. At this point, I think we can talk about WOSCOPS. It's 22 years old. It is part of the medical history and a very seminal article. I think they got creative because, as he mentioned. We have guidelines that support this treatment, but this is almost an unanswerable question, whether you say it's from ethics, or from equipoise, it was essentially unanswerable. So, they had to go back and take this historical study where practice patterns were different, to be able to look at this question. It was pointed out, there's pretty clear evidence in here and I think if you look at that during the five-year study period of the randomized period, pretty clear evidence that treating participants with LDLs above 190 without vascular disease certainly lowers cardiovascular disease events. One of the best things about working on the editorial board is being able to work closely with authors, and I have to also thank Dr. Ray and his colleagues for being so gracious in working with us closely in some modifications as this went along. We hope, and I hope he feels this way, too, that at the end of the day, the product ends up being even better than where we started. That's our goal is to really help and work with authors in that way and they were incredibly responsive. The two things I thought they did really well that were insightful to the US guidelines and beyond. One is they also restricted to the group without diabetes, without ASCVD less than 7.5%, and some other parameters to really hone down on what we have in the current US guidelines and still the finding was consistent that the statin therapy benefited that group. The other part was just acknowledging that the legacy part, the long-term effect, is really valuable. They published heavily in this area, but at that point, it becomes an observational component. It's not part of the randomized period. The reason that adds value, if you look at our guidelines above the age of 21, an LDL above 190 can be treated with a statin, there would be less controversy if your LDL was 200 and you're 55, but if you're 22 or 23, I think there may be more angst. That's where the long-term data is important, because we're not looking necessarily always at 10 years, but we're looking at 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 years. I think this does at least shed some light. I appreciate the study population was older, but a least it helps us look at maybe some of the long-term benefits. If I may, Carolyn, I would love to ask Dr. Ray a question. Kaus, when you guys did this, the group with the LDL less than 190 had essentially similar benefit. The p-interaction was no. I think we have to acknowledge that the LDLs were higher in that group than what would seem because the lowest level was 155. Is it above 190, or should it be above 160 where we treat patients with statins? Dr. Kausik Ray: Yes, and I really want to thank the editors, because there were certain things that you pushed us with analyses and I think that you could make the case that if you have a LDL cholesterol above 155, over a five-year randomized treatment period, there was a significant reduction in CHD and MACE as well. So, you could make that point that actually the cutoff should perhaps be pulled down even further to about 155. What's interesting is, these groups, when you broke them down, age was identical, BMI was identical, blood pressure, and everything else. The only thing that was different, really, was the LDL cholesterol, which impacted on total cholesterol. TGs, HDLs were absolutely identical. I think you could probably make the case. I think the one thing that we didn't see, although it's observational in those with slightly lower LDL cholesterols, is that over the 25 year period, they seem to get slightly less mortality benefits. Now, that could be a chance finding, because it's observational. We don't really know the implications of that, but I think over a five-year period, this is the best evidence you're going to get for primary prevention, right? Dr. Amit Khera: Agreed. The US guidelines do say above 160, it's a point of consideration. It can be a factor to consider as we think about treatment, so perhaps this helps bolster that point as well. Dr. Kausik Ray: It's not just the American guidelines. In the European guidelines, when they use score, if you look at LDL cholesterol levels, the European case fatality 10 year risk is 2.5%, which is equivalent roughly to 7.5% fatal and non-fatal MI in the pooled cohort equation. There they still have diet and lifestyle, but it says, "Consider pharmacological," and one of the things I thought was really interesting is if you did a 10 year risk calculation in this group, 67% of the population with an LDL above 190, you would have said the predicted 10-year risk was below 7.5%, but the 10-year observed risk was double that. It was 15%. If you did the same thing for the group between 155 and 190, your ten-year risk predicted would be in most of these people, you would have said about 90% actually are less than 7.5%, so you wouldn't have given them a statin. But, their observed event rates in the placebo group was about 11%. So, I think that it tells you if you have an isolated elevated cholesterol above 155, you're probably going to be underestimating risk if you're using global risk score, and perhaps a discussion with the patient about risks and benefits in the way that most of us try to do and citing data like this might encourage patients to actually start that therapy earlier, which most of us probably believe from genetic and legacy effect is probably beneficial. That's one of the other implications of this. Dr. Amit Khera: This is why one has to read not just the abstract, but all the details, because there are so many kernels of interesting findings in this paper beyond just the highlights that we hit upon. Dr. Carolyn Lam: Thank you both for just a marvelous discussion of an incredible paper that is really, really going to be extremely clinically relevant. We're so proud to be publishing this in Circulation this week. Audience, you heard it right here. Don't forget to tune in again next week as well to Circulation on the Run for even more hot news.
In September, Mars unveiled its Sustainable in a Generation plan, which sets a new standard for its responsible growth as a business. Mars believes that transformational, cross-industry collaboration is required to fix the extended global supply chain, and the plan leads the way by investing $1 billion to tackle threats such as climate change, poverty in its value chain and resource scarcity. The private, family-owned brand has been in business for over a century and sells its products in nearly every corner of the globe. Its six businesses — from chocolate to pet products — reach billions of consumers and earn more than $35 billion in global sales. Bard MBA student Alistair Hall talked with Mars's Kevin Rabinovitch shortly after the launch of Sustainable in a Generation about the plan and how it evolved. Rabinovitch, Mars's global sustainability director and chief climate officer, was instrumental in developing the plan. His team manages a global portfolio of renewable energy projects in conjunction with efficiency work led by the business units. He also leads the assessment of environmental impact for Mars's value chain and the translation of external environmental science into policy and strategy for the business.

Jack Rabinovitch is a philanthropist best known for founding the annual Scotia Bank Giller Prize (named after his late wife, Doris Giller, a former literary columnist and editor at the Toronto Star) for best Canadian novel. Rabinovitch, a reporter and speechwriter who later turned to business, making his fortune in food retailing and real estate, was an executive with Trizec Corporation where he helped develop close to six million square feet of hotel, commercial and retail space. He was Maclean's magazine's man of the year in 1999 and is a recipient of the Order of Canada and the Order of Ontario. This week his membership in the Order of Canada was upgraded to platinum…he is now an Officer of the Order. Part of the citation for this added honour reads: "Jack Rabinovitch continues to lend extraordinary energy to the promotion of Canadian literature. Maintaining a very active leadership role in the administration of the Scotiabank Giller Prize, he has negotiated a partnership that has solidified the Giller as Canada's most lucrative and illustrious literary award. Canadian authors and publishers alike have gained increased sales as a direct result of either a nomination or a win, while the awards have helped to raise the profile of new and lesser-known authors." We met this morning to talk about the Giller, its contribution to the purchase, reading and discussion of Canadian novels, the various strengths and weaknesses of literary juries adjudicating merit, and his choice for ‘best' Canadian novel of all time.
Last year Joe Clark spoke about Why the World Needs More Canada. Continuing in that tradition, Robert Rabinovitch gives his thoughts on the matter.
