Some of the most common respiratory myths are still showing up at the bedside. But it's not your fault — most of us were never taught what an oxygenation problem versus a ventilation problem looks like in real time.In this episode, Melody Bishop RT explains how respiratory therapists think through oxygenation and ventilation to choose the right intervention and recognize when a patient is ready to breathe on their own. We're calling out the old dogma and myths that can delay treatment and worsen patient outcomes!Topics discussed in this episode:Ventilation vs. oxygenation: the core building blocksV/Q mismatch explainedABG findings for low-flow vs. high-flow vs. BiPAPWhen CO₂ is the problem and the benefits of BiPAPKey indicators it's time to intubate and the dangers of waitingThe myth of resting patients on ventilationHow to accurately assess spontaneous breathing trialsCOPD, oxygen, and the hypoxic drive mythWhat nurses should know about working with RTsConnect with Melody:https://melodybishoprt.com/Mentioned in this episode:Xshears are the best shearscheck em out here: https://xshear.com//discount/Rapid10 and you can use code RAPID10 to get 10% off your purchaseAND If you are planning to sit for your CCRN and would like to take the Critical Care Academy CCRN prep course you can visit https://www.ccrnacademy.com and use coupon code RAPID10 to get 10% off the cost of the course!CONNECT
Tune in to this extraordinary conversation exploring the important interplay between respiratory viruses and non-communicable diseases like diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. Why do people with chronic conditions face higher risks from infections? Could there be such a thing as "long-flu"? What are the long-term effects of viral infections? And why are viruses so tricky? Join our three leading scientists as they unpack the bidirectional connection, clarify this unique opportunity to leverage awareness and the fundamental importance of joining forces across disciplines: Marco Goeijenbier(ESWI Board Member, intensivist at Spaarne Gasthuis and Senior Scientist at Erasmus MC), Tor Biering-Sørensen (cardiologist and Founding Head of the Center for Translational Cardiology in Copenhagen), and Kirsty Short (NHMRC research fellow, University of Queensland). They will explain this pivotal moment to rethink disease prevention, reveal insights from the groundbreaking giga DANFLU trial, and show how the Interdisciplinary Disease Collaboration on Respiratory Infections and NCDs (IDC) is connecting the dots from lab bench to hospital bedside.
Join us for a breakdown of all the various viral illnesses circulating this time of year. All of these should be taken seriously.
Why Tuberculosis is still the most deadly infectious disease.Attention, DNA detectives! We've got a rat on the loose – but don't worry, not the snitching, double-agent kind. We're talking about the whiskered, hyper-skilled, tiny agents who aren't snitching - they're sniffing out one of the world's deadliest diseases: tuberculosis (TB).Tuberculosis might sound old-timey, but it's still the globe's top infectious killer– growing tougher, more drug-resistant, and hitting hardest where access to care falls short. So for our Season 5 finale, host Dr. Kaylee Byers digs into TB's fascinating backstory, and teams up with microbiologist Dr. Jennifer Guthrie to figure out why this ancient disease still has such a tight grip, and how genomics is helping track its every move. Along the way, Dr. Zolelwa Sifumba shares her story as a multidrug-resistant TB survivor, and how her treatment journey fuels her advocacy today.Buckle up: this investigation has it all : science, politics, global inequities… and a squad of extraordinary rats.Special thanks to APOPO for sending us field recordings and interviews from their HeroRAT training program.Highlights(3:42) The history of TB(8:19) Why TB sits at the top of the global disease podium(15:30) Meet Zolelwa - a multi-drug-resistant TB survivor(30:48) The power of education–Show Notes/Resources:1.

The Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs advises the public that we are currently in the flu season which runs from October to March. During this period, the ministry notes an increase in people having respiratory viruses. Therefore, residents are urged to take proactive steps to protect themselves from respiratory illnesses such as washing hands frequently, avoiding close contact with individuals who are sick, wearing a mask, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, cleaning and disinfecting commonly touched spaces and getting vaccinated.
🧭 REBEL Rundown 📝 Introduction Welcome to the Rebel Core Content Blog, where we delve into crucial knowledge for emergency medicine. Today, we share insightful tips from PEM specialist Dr. Elise Perelman, shedding light on respiratory challenges in infants, toddlers, and young children during the viral season. Understanding that most cases involve typical viruses, we aim to equip you with diagnostic pearls to identify more serious pathologies. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 🔍 Recognizing Respiratory Patterns Pearl #1: Look at Your PatientBegin exams from the doorway. Observing patterns such as accessory muscle usage can reveal a patient’s respiratory effort. Specify whether the work of breathing occurs during inspiration, expiration, or both. Inspiratory work indicates difficulty getting air in, while expiratory work suggests trouble pushing air out. Silent tachypnea may point to other issues, like acidemia or pneumothorax. 🩺 Localizing Sounds for Accurate Diagnosis Pearl #2: Localize the SoundBreathing noises signal varied respiratory issues. Stridor, often heard on inspiration, results from obstructions above the thoracic inlet. Conversely, wheezing, generally linked to exhalation, indicates obstructions in the lower airways. Watch for signs like ‘silent chest’—a dangerous, severe obstruction, and distinguish grunting as a bodily mechanism to prevent alveolar collapse. Correctly identifying the sound assists in determining the appropriate intervention. 💉 Tailoring Treatment for Effective Results Once a sound is localized, treatments vary. We explore Soder from nasal congestion, typically needing supportive care and suctioning. Stridor from conditions like croup is eased with interventions to reduce airway swelling, such as steroids or inhaled epinephrine. Conversely, wheezing in infants is often due to bronchiolitis—not bronchospasms—and over-treatment is to be avoided. Supportive measures including suction, hydration, and oxygen are preferred unless improvement warrants bronchodilators. 🌬️ Intervening with Severe Asthma In severe cases of asthma or bronchiolitis, where standard at-home treatments fail, immediate adjunct therapies like intramuscular epinephrine become essential. Administering this quickly can alleviate obstruction when inhalants aren’t effective due to low air movement. 🦓 Navigating the Zebras of Respiratory Cases When recognizing Zebras—uncommon cases overshadowed by routine diagnoses—remain vigilant for histories or presentations that don’t conform. Conditions like pneumonia, bacterial tracheitis, and even myocarditis may mimic more common issues. 📌 Conclusion As attending physicians, our role extends beyond conventional treatment—it’s about discerning the atypical from the typical. Dr. Perelman urges continual reassessment, emphasizing reliance on observational skills as much as technological aid. Keeping keen on respiratory nuances ensures we catch those outlier cases, paving the way for adept medical care despite the overwhelming prevalence of viral infections.Stay tuned for more pearls and insights in our future posts, as Dr. Perelman shares further strategies for effective pediatric emergency care.

A large population study links trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole to a rare yet nearly threefold higher risk of severe acute respiratory failure in healthy adolescents and young adults, reinforcing FDA warnings and the need for careful monitoring. Two extensive Cochrane reviews—including over 132 million people—confirm that HPV vaccination dramatically reduces cervical cancer, high-grade precancers, and anogenital warts without increasing serious adverse events. Kentucky's deadly pertussis surge highlights declining vaccine coverage and the critical role of maternal Tdap and timely childhood immunization to protect the most vulnerable infants.
Respiratory vaccines are not just infection-fighters—they're cardiovascular protectors.
Premature infants are incredibly resilient—but their journey can involve long-term health, developmental, and behavioral challenges that many parents aren't told about.

Early detection saves lives, but today's tools are often invasive, slow, or used too late. In this episode, Breath Diagnostics CEO Ivan Lo explains how a non-invasive breath test can detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with disease—positioning breath as a first-line screen for early-stage lung cancer and potentially pneumonia and TB. We cover the science (why breath can capture near real-time biological change), sensitivity/specificity signals from 800+ patients, and a go-to-market/regulatory plan that prioritizes post-op pneumonia (shorter trials, no entrenched standard of care) before lung cancer screening. We also discuss platform economics (low-cost disposables, existing LC-MS infrastructure), trial scale and cost, and how breath could support ongoing monitoring after treatment. Investors get a clear view of timelines, risks, and upside; founders get lessons on platform positioning, capital efficiency, and sequencing indications. Highlights include...Why breath (VOCs) can surface disease signals minutes–hours after biological changeFirst-line screening thesis vs. liquid biopsy and CT workflowsEarly data: ~94% sensitivity / 85% specificity across 800+ patients (lung cancer context)Regulatory path: post-op pneumonia first (faster FDA route), lung cancer nextUnit economics: low-cost cartridge + existing LC-MS labs (hub-and-spoke)Clinical design: trial scale, costs, and companion-diagnostic “cocktail” potentialPlatform beyond oncology: pneumonia, TB, inflammation, RUO for pharmaChapters00:00 Intro & why early detection needs a rethink00:47 What Breath Diagnostics does (the “breath bag”)03:34 VOCs 101: why breath can be earlier than blood06:41 First-line screen vs. confirmatory tests08:19 Will this be ubiquitous at annual visits?11:53 Commercialization path & funding realities12:37 Pneumonia first: faster FDA route14:09 Lung cancer timeline & business model15:34 Hospital economics & pneumonia savings18:24 Trial scale/costs; disposable chip economics20:34 Team, funding strategy, and sequencing22:08 Early data and a “false negative” biopsy case24:12 TAM & eligibility (20M Americans qualify)25:06 What success looks like (2–3 years)27:00 Investor closing thoughts

Dr. Marc Salzberg, President, CEO, and Chief Medical Officer at Airway Therapeutics, is developing a drug AT-100 to prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants, a severe condition with no existing treatment. These infants are at high risk for BPD because of a low level of a protective protein that reduces inflammation and clears infections from their underdeveloped lungs. The drug's mechanism of action suggests it has potential for treating other inflammatory conditions such as asthma, COPD, and severe pneumonia. Marc explains, "We're focusing on developing drugs or interventions for severe respiratory conditions for prevention or treatment of severe respiratory conditions. And our first project is focusing on the respiratory condition that preterm neonates have, which is called bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and cannot be treated or prevented yet. It's a very severe condition. And that really triggered my interest in getting engaged because it's going to be a paradigm shift if we manage to bring this drug to market." "The protein that we're developing is an endogenous protein that we all have. In the past years or decade, it has been discovered that this protein has a very essential function in fighting inflammation and infection on a daily basis. Now, there are certain conditions or instances where the protein is low-functioning. For instance, in preterm-born babies, but also in adults with severe respiratory inflammation, with pneumonias, with asthma, or COPD. In all those cases where protein is low, those are the instances where you actually need it most. So, replacing it in those instances is a kind of logical rationale for the concept for the treatment that we're developing." #AirwayTherapeutics #BPD #InflammatoryDiseases #Zelpultidealfa #PrematureBabies #PretermBabies airwaytherapeutics.com Download the transcript here

This podcast is sponsored by YARAL Pharma. In this episode, we are focusing on the management of hypothyroidism -- a treatable, but not curable condition – and will explore unique challenges for patients with hypothyroidism in long-term care – from tolerability and formulation considerations to consistent dosing and patient needs. Dr. Tamara Ruggles is not affiliated with YARAL Pharma. All views and opinions regarding hypothyroidism are solely her own and are not attributable to YARAL or the Pharmacy Podcast Network. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION for levothyroxine sodium capsules INDICATION AND USAGE Levothyroxine sodium capsules are L-thyroxine (T4) indicated for adults and pediatric patients 6 years and older with: Hypothyroidism - As replacement therapy in primary (thyroidal), secondary (pituitary), and tertiary (hypothalamic) congenital or acquired hypothyroidism Pituitary Thyrotropin (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone, TSH) Suppression - As an adjunct to surgery and radioiodine therapy in the management of thyrotropin-dependent well differentiated thyroid cancer Limitations of Use: Levothyroxine sodium capsules are not indicated for suppression of benign thyroid nodules and nontoxic diffuse goiter in iodine-sufficient patients as there are no clinical benefits and overtreatment with Levothyroxine sodium capsules may induce hyperthyroidism. Levothyroxine sodium capsules are not indicated for treatment of transient hypothyroidism during the recovery phase of subacute thyroiditis WARNING: NOT FOR THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY OR FOR WEIGHT LOSS Thyroid hormones, including levothyroxine sodium capsules, either alone or with other therapeutic agents, should not be used for the treatment of obesity or for weight loss. In euthyroid patients, doses within the range of daily hormonal requirements are ineffective for weight reduction. Larger doses may produce serious or even life-threatening manifestations of toxicity, particularly when given in association with sympathomimetic amines such as those used for their anorectic effects. Contraindications Uncorrected adrenal insufficiency Warnings and Precautions Cardiac adverse reactions in the elderly and in patients with underlying cardiovascular disease: Initiate Levothyroxine sodium capsules at less than the full replacement dose because of the increased risk of cardiac adverse reactions, including atrial fibrillation Myxedema coma: Do not use oral thyroid hormone drug products to treat myxedema coma Acute adrenal crisis in patients with concomitant adrenal insufficiency: Treat with replacement glucocorticoids prior to initiation of levothyroxine sodium capsules treatment Prevention of hyperthyroidism or incomplete treatment of hypothyroidism: Proper dose titration and careful monitoring is critical to prevent the persistence of hypothyroidism or the development of hyperthyroidism Worsening of diabetic control: Therapy in patients with diabetes mellitus may worsen glycemic control and result in increased antidiabetic agent or insulin requirements. Carefully monitor glycemic control after starting, changing, or discontinuing thyroid hormone therapy Decreased bone mineral density associated with thyroid hormone over-replacement: Over-replacement can increase bone reabsorption and decrease bone mineral density. Give the lowest effective dose Adverse Reactions Common adverse reactions with levothyroxine therapy are primarily those of hyperthyroidism due to therapeutic overdosage. They include the following: General: fatigue, increased appetite, weight loss, heat intolerance, fever, excessive sweating Central Nervous System: headache, hyperactivity, nervousness, anxiety, irritability, emotional ability, insomnia Musculoskeletal: tremors, muscle weakness Cardiovascular: palpitations, tachycardia, arrythmias, increased pulse and blood pressure, heart failure, angina, myocardial infarction, cardiac arrest Respiratory: dyspnea Gastrointestinal (GI): diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, elevations in liver function tests Dermatologic: hair loss, flushing Endocrine: decreased bone mineral density Reproductive: menstrual irregularities, impaired fertility Adverse Reactions in Children Pseudotumor cerebri and slipped capital femoral epiphysis have been reported in children receiving levothyroxine therapy. Overtreatment may result in craniosynostosis in infants and premature closure of the epiphyses in children with resultant compromised adult height. Seizures have been reported rarely with the institution of levothyroxine therapy. Hypersensitivity Reactions Hypersensitivity reactions to inactive ingredients (in this product or other levothyroxine products) have occurred in patients treated with thyroid hormone products. These include urticaria, pruritis, skin rash, flushing, angioedema, various GI symptoms (abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea), fever, arthralgia, serum sickness and wheezing. Hypersensitivity to levothyroxine itself is not known to occur. Drug Interactions: Many drugs and some foods can exert effects on thyroid hormone pharmacokinetics (e.g., absorption, synthesis, secretion, catabolism, protein binding, and target tissue response) and may alter the therapeutic response to Levothyroxine sodium capsules. Administer at least 4 hours before or after drugs that are known to interfere with absorption. See full prescribing information for drugs that affect thyroid hormone pharmacokinetics and metabolism. To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Yaral Pharma Inc. at 1-866-218-9009, or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch. For Full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning, go to www.yaralpharma.com/levothyroxine-pi.
