I'll never forget back in medical school that we were told that the brain was "terminally differentiated.” This means that brain cells were what they were, and could never be regenerated. As such, when a person had a stroke or brain injury, that was pretty much the end. There would be no improvement. That understanding stands in stark contrast to what we have observed. Clearly, stroke patient can and do improve. And, it turns out, that this improvement can be enhanced with a type of therapy that applies pure oxygen under pressure to the patient. This increased oxygen in the brain does some wonderful things including, importantly, enhancing the growth of new brain cells. What a concept. I have a long experience with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, having founded one of the countries largest hyperbaric centers. Much of the data upon which we relied came from researchers in Israel who were and continue to do cutting edge science demonstrating the profound effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as it relates to stroke recovery. Nowadays, improvements in brain functionality can actually be visualized with state of the art brain imaging equipment. Today, on the Empowering Neurologist, I have the great honor of interviewing Dr. Shai Efrati, one of the global leaders in the application of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the treatment of stroke. Dr. Efrati is Founder and Director of the world-leading Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research at Shamir Medical Center, where he also serves as Director of Research and Development and Head of Nephrology. Dr. Efrati's research focuses on novel aspects of hyperbaric medicine and brain rehabilitation. He is a professor at the Sackler School of Medicine and the Sagol School of Neuroscience in Tel Aviv University. Since 2008, he has served as Chairman of the Israeli Society for Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine. Importantly, Dr. Efrati is now associated with the Aviv Clinic, which is not only offering hyperbaric oxygen therapy, but a far more comprehensive approach for stroke recovery And fortunately, the clinic is located in the Villages, just outside of Orlando Florida. Please enjoy this fascinating deep dive into the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, especially as it relates to stroke recovery.   TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 1:21 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy 10:13 How Oxygen Therapy Works 14:37 Brain Cell Regeneration 16:43 Stroke Treatment 22:34 Scaling This Treatment 25:36 The Aviv Clinic 29:14 Vascular Dementia 35:43 Autism 40:39 Consult A Professional 42:33 Conclusion ___________________________ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidperlmutter/ Website: https://www.drperlmutter.com/ Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDRl_UAXxbHyOOjklnA0dxQ/?sub_confirmation=1See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to the American Cancer Society, about 14,000 cases of invasive cervical cancer in the United States are said to be diagnosed. This statistic can bring so much fear, which warrants education on screening and preventative modalities. Within the gynecologic realm, another root of wary comes from the terms sexually transmitted disease, STD, or STI. When uttered, the room usually goes quite silent. Behind these words, spells of stigma and prejudice remain, which can result in the avoidance of these topics. However, when pertinent things are unspoken, mayhem usually arises due to the lack of knowledge and necessary precaution. This is why we tackle these polarizing topics today: human papillomavirus, the Gardasil vaccine, herpes, safe sexual practices, reproductive anatomy, cervical cancer, colposcopy, and Pap smears. Can men get HPV? Does HPV affect the ability to get pregnant? How can we screen for cervical abnormalities? What does an abnormal Pap smear mean?We are joined today by Dr. Shieva Ghofrany, a board-certified OBGYN physician and a Fellow of the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists with over two decades of experience. She received her BS in American Government from Georgetown University in 1992, MD from the Sackler School of Medicine/Tel Aviv University in 1999, OB-GYN residency at Stamford Hospital in 2013, and Integrative Health training at The Graduate Institute in 2016.

"I jump into a book - we take a book into our hands, and I become everybody, everywhere in every era. I become Emma Bovary - it is a very famous expression by Flaubert saying, “I am Emma Bovary, Emma Bovary c'est moi.” I become someone else in a different place, in a different time, in a different body, sometimes in a different sex. I can even become an alien, a princess, a count. Then I let go of my defenses and I delve into my existential struggles but in this transitional space of literature which is so unique because the story of the characters is our story"    Episode Description: We begin our conversation about the reading experience with Merav sharing with us her story of growing up in a family of writers. We discuss the factors within us that lead us to read and how it shares certain similarities with the clinical encounter. She considers the use we make of literature to help us make the intolerable more playfully bearable. The work of Jorge Semprun is discussed with examples given from his memoir Literature or Life. Merav shares with us her sense that the depressive position informs and allows for a more ethical engagement with the literary experience. We close with her reading the poem Eating Poetry by Mark Strand.    Our Guest: Merav Roth Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist and a training and supervising psychoanalyst at the Israeli Psychoanalytic Society; She is the head of the psychoanalytic psychotherapy program, Sackler School of Medicine, Tel-Aviv University; and a researcher of psychoanalysis and culture (mainly literature and trauma). She is the former chair of the interdisciplinary Doctoral Program in psychoanalysis and the former founder and chair of the post-graduate Klein studies, both at the psychoanalytic psychotherapy program, Sackler School of Medicine. Together with Joshua Durban, Roth edited and wrote the Preface and introductions to the book Melanie Klein – Essential Papers II and also edited Klein's Psychoanalysis of Children and Brenman Pick's Authenticity in the Psychoanalytic Encounter.

We are so excited to bring you an interesting perspective with Dr. Itay Wiser, MD, PHD who owns Wiser MD in Manhattan, NY and also serves as Chief of Surgical Ambulatory Services at Harlem Hospital. We meander from his start in Israel in epidemiology to publishing over 50 peer reviewed articles, to how his creativity in music translates into the art of treating his patients. In addition, we discuss the importance of a strong life partner when dealing with pressure and how this helps with accountability and success. Further, we dive into what it means to be beautiful, how aesthetics is communication and how beauty can be brought out in almost anyone. Learn more: IG @dr.itaywiser www.wisermd.com About Dr. Wiser I am a New York Licensed and an Israeli Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. I am an attending plastic surgeon and the Chief of Surgical Ambulatory Services at Harlem Hospital after completing two specialty fellowship programs: a reconstructive microsurgery fellowship specializing in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital, and a Lymphedema surgery fellowship program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I hold a PhD in epidemiology and public health from the Sackler School of Medicine in Israel, which helps me to evaluate novel published treatments and technologies that can benefit my patients. I believe that my medical knowledge directly correlates with the quality of care I provide to my patients, and therefore, in addition to patient care, I am routinely involved in medical research. I am the author of more than 50 peer reviewed scientific publications, and often present my own work in international plastic surgery conferences. My main research interest is patient reported outcome measurement, a new tool that puts the patient in the center of care. I care for every patient like she or he is my first degree relative. I am responsible for my patients no matter the outcome, and without an expiration date. My relationship with my patients is built on mutual trust, honesty and setting realistic expectations.” --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/diamondhands/message

When all restrictions are lifted in a highly vaccinated country, how manageable is the coronavirus? Both Israel and UK's experiments to do just that, have raised new worries about raising the risk of new vaccine resistant variants. Claudia Hammond and her panel of global experts consider our ability to predict how and when variants of concern are most likely to arise and how long our repertoire of vaccines can remain effective in riding out increasingly infectious waves of the virus. Also in the programme - does anyone need a third “booster” dose or is it more important to make sure the whole world gets their first two doses instead? And as more people in the world get vaccinated every day, can we get to a situation where the virus is kept in check, without the huge surges in cases that overwhelm hospitals? Listeners put their questions about coronavirus and the pandemic directly to Claudia and her panel of specialists which includes Professor Salim Abdool Karim - a clinical infectious disease epidemiologist and a Member of the African Task Force on Coronavirus; Dr Natalia Freund a leading immunologist at Sackler School of Medicine, Tel Aviv University; Adam Finn, professor of paediatrics at the Bristol Children's Vaccine Centre, University of Bristol, and a member of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation that advises UK health departments on immunisation, and Dr Muge Cevik, who's a medical doctor and clinical lecturer in infectious diseases and medical virology at the University of St Andrew's in Scotland.

Recorded on 05/04/21 In this episode, Cowen's Health Care Technology analyst Charles Rhyee speaks with Ido Schoenberg, MD, who is Chairman and CEO of Amwell and oversees the company's corporate strategy. Since co-founding the company in 2006, with his brother Roy Schoenberg, Ido has led the company's strategic direction, growing Amwell to become one of the largest telehealth companies in the world. With all the challenges and tragedy of the past year and more due to COVID, one of the few positives to come out from it was the broader recognition of telehealth's ability to provide access to quality care, particularly in a time of great need. We discuss how COVID has changed the perception of telehealth, how telehealth is evolving beyond simply on-demand care, and how Amwell's new platform, Converge, connects virtual care into the existing physical healthcare world to create a new model for care delivery. Ido Schoenberg serves as the Chairman and CEO of Amwell and has a lengthy track record of successfully leading technology companies in the healthcare field. In 1996, together with Phyllis Gotlib, he co-founded iMDSoft, a provider of enterprise software that automates hospital critical care units. He grew the company into a market leader with a large multi-national install base in the U.S., Europe, and East Asia. In 2001, Ido joined CareKey Inc. as Chief Executive Officer and took the company through its acquisition by the TriZetto group. Ido served as TriZetto's Chief Business Strategy Officer until his departure in the summer of 2006. Ido received his MD from the Sackler School of Medicine.

Prof. Malka Cohen-Armon and her team at Tel Aviv University's Sackler Faculty of Medicine choose Oncotarget for a third time amongst leading medical journals like The New England Journal of Medicine, Nature or The Lancet to publish groundbreaking preclinical cancer research. Here's more: Recent reports demonstrate an exclusive eradication of a variety of human cancer cells by the modified phenanthridine PJ34. The efficient eradication of malignant cells in human pancreatic cancer xenografts presents a new model of pancreas cancer treatment. Prof. Malka Cohen-Armon from the Sackler Faculty of Medicine & the Sagol School of Neuroscience at Tel-Aviv University in Tel-Aviv, Israel said, "Despite a substantial advance in cancer treatment, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have a limited response to current treatments, and a low 5-years survival rate of about 6%." Furthermore, the authors identified phenanthrenes acting as PARP1 inhibitors that efficiently eradicate a variety of human cancer cells without impairing benign cells. However, their PARP1 inhibition per-se does not impair nor eradicate human malignant cells, including pancreatic cancer cells, PANC1. In contrast, at higher concentrations than those causing PARP1 inhibition, PJ34, Tiq-A and Phen eradicate a variety of human cancer cells by mitotic catastrophe cell death. Here, the efficacy of PJ34 to eradicate human pancreas cancer cells is tested in cell cultures and in xenografts. In xenografts, eradication of human PANC1 cells deduced from a massive reduction of human proteins in the tumors was measured 30 days after the treatment with PJ34 has been terminated. The Cohen-Armon Research Team concluded that PJ34, which is permeable in the cell membrane, accessed and eradicated human PDAC cells in xenografts without impairing normal proliferating cells infiltrated into the tumors. The team is 2-3 years away from clinical human trials. Full text - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.2...

Interview with Dr. Dana Corriel, Internist and Founder of SoMeDocs [Show Summary] It’s not often you hear from a doctor who has consciously taken time to “smell the roses.” Dr. Dana Corriel shares how she keeps balance in her life while practicing medicine, raising a family, and managing a growing social media presence. Finding Balance in Medicine, Giving Doctors a Voice on Social Media, and More [Show Notes] I’m thrilled to introduce our fascinating guest, Dr. Dana Corriel, who graduated from my alma mater, UCLA and then went to medical school at the Sackler School of Medicine at Tel Aviv University, graduating in 2003. She did her residency in internal medicine at Albert Einstein in NYC. Since then she has served as Assistant Professor of Medicine at Mt. Sinai, practiced medicine, and in 2017 became Director of Quality at Highland Medical, also in NY. Can you tell us a little about yourself? Your background and where you grew up and how you got interested in medicine? [2:05] I was born in Israel and moved to the U.S. around age 10, to the LA area – Walnut specifically. I attended UCLA and earned a bachelor of science degree in neuroscience. I then went to medical school at Tel Aviv University, and came back to NY for my residency at Albert Einstein. One unique thing about me is that I took about three years off during that time to stay home and be mom to my three boys. That helped shape who I am today. Were you scared to take the time off? Worried to come back? [3:48] There is a multifaceted answer to that. I had spent years and years of my life to become a physician, and it was so difficult to get in and go through the process. So yes, it was very scary in that regard but ultimately very valuable to me. Since I took time away from medicine I was able to discover things about myself I never knew. Doctors always take a very straight path to medicine and don’t stop to smell the roses. I took time off to be with my kids and get to know my kids (I had my first son when I was an intern, when I was working so hard and didn’t have time to really connect). When I took the time to connect I was able to do that but also discover something about myself. I discovered that I am very creative which puts me in a good place. Burnout really applies to physicians and so many things are broken with healthcare, but part of fixing it is finding out what is missing in yourself that could make it better. Physicians need to find their voice. The thing that puts me in a good place is expressing myself, either through creative writing with my blog or traveling/discovering and sharing that experience with the world. Judging both by the volume of your writing on your site and the quality of it, you also love to write. Have you always been a writer? [7:24] Not at all. It is amazing what you can discover by giving yourself time. I had never done any major writing, and didn’t write well when I first started to write. It evolved over time. My ultimate goal is to write a book, either fiction or something in my life that is funny that makes you think – like random things that are metaphorical and help you start to think. You attended medical school in Israel. How was that experience enriching or difficult? Did you have difficulty coming back to the U.S. and getting a residency? [10:53] I would not trade it for anything. It was some of the most amazing years of my life. It is incredibly enriching to be in another country – I experienced a lot of personal growth which was incredibly helpful. Medical school is extremely difficult and I had to take additional steps because it was a foreign school. It is harder to get placed than people going to school in the U.S. I ultimately landed a great residency and we had great training. I would be glad to write a blog post about it! You’ve gone through medical training and taught physicians in training. What do you think premeds and med students don’t think enough about as they begin their training?

How does a Stanford University graduate with a MD/PhD that includes specialized training in one of the most aggressive, cure-focused specialties in medicine―Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplants―find her way to palliative care? By being still just long enough for her life to find her. Dr. Dawn Gross is uniquely qualified to lead a cultural revolution on end of life care. She holds combined degrees from Tufts University School of Medicine and the Sackler School of Biomedical Sciences, where she was trained rigorously as both a physician and scientist. Beginning her practice as a hospice team physician, Dawn was invited to attend on the palliative care team at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). She was subsequently recruited away to become the Arthur M. Coppola family chair for the Department of Supportive Care Medicine and clinical professor of hospice and palliative medicine at the City of Hope National Medical Center. Dawn wanted to be a scientist. She loved the science behind medicine and thought she would never aspire to become a practicing clinician. Yet, when her father was facing a serious illness, Dawn chose not continue on the scientific path she loved. That’s when she sat still long enough and allowed life to find her―and began to bake.Dawn didn’t just bake anything. She baked a batch of cookies from her grandmother’s old recipe books. “Watching my dad eat the cookie from his childhood, he was transported to a place of pure happiness and joy,” she recalls. “This made me realize how important the small things in life truly are at the end of life.” Upon her father’s admittance to hospice, dying only four days later, her grief took over. Throughout her medical training, Dawn was taught to separate her emotion, putting boundaries between her own self and the patients she served. As a hospice medical director, she knew one thing. She did not want to be a physician that chose not to relate with her patients facing end of life. She found that she simply could not take her heart out of her practice.Dawn returned to UCSF to join the newly formed palliative care committee within the San Francisco Department of Aging and Adult Services. In addition, she was invited to host a ground-breaking live, call-in radio program, Dying to Talk, broadcast on the oldest FM station west of the Mississippi, KALW 91.7 FM. Her experiences as a hospice and palliative care physician have given her an unequaled perspective on how to care for people in their own homes. Whether attending patients in trailer parks or penthouses, there is no ivory tower. Dawn’s personal encounters as a mother and as a witness to her father’s death and her mother’s simultaneous serious illness inspired her to write and speak extensively about the work she does today. Her writings have been published in a variety of medical journals, including: Science, JAMA, Annals of Internal Medicineand San Francisco Medicine. A recent piece, "The Error in 'There's Nothing More To Do,'" was featured in the “Opinionator” blog of the New York Times. Her recent work to develop a curriculum offering a "death-ed" class at Head Royce School in Oakland, CA, was also published in the New York Times. Dawn’s written words based upon her distinguished medical career have one mission: to show us how we can live fully until we die. She is determined, both through her writings and by example, to improve how the medical community and medical protocol communicate with people about their potential dire prognoses. Her undertaking is to assist patients and their families in dealing with the inevitable outcome of a life-ending health crisis with honesty and dignity. In the end, public policy must acknowledge and question incentives that prolong life with no appreciation for the impact on how we die. The public is just beginning to accept this dialogue and there is much more to be said.http://www.drasyouwish.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
