Recorded on 11 January 2024 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar with Dr Walt Larimore. Christians often consider missionaries to be those who depart for another region or country to share the gospel. However, Scripture teaches that we are to be flavorful salt and attractive light everyday where God already has us. The Biblical principles for everyday missionaries are surprisingly simple and fruitful — an easy yoke indeed. In fact, Jesus is already doing everything necessary to make your daily participation as His everyday missionary stunningly effective. Don't miss this webinar which promises to be ministry-altering for all Christians who are not gifted evangelists. Walt Larimore, MD, a family physician, is the co-author of CMDA US's “The Saline Solution” which has inspired greatly the Saline Process™ (IHS Global) used by ICMDA as a member organization of the International Saline Partnership.” Walt also helped to develop CMDA US's “Grace Prescriptions,” and was the inspiration for their new series “Faith Prescriptions.” Walt has been recognized in International Health Professionals of the Year and International Health Scientists of the Year as well as the 2000 Intellectuals of the 21st Century.

Recorded on 2 February 2023 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar and Q&A with Dr Walt Larimore. The use of a spiritual assessment by health professionals as part of a social history has been considered a vital part of quality whole-person health care for decades. However, virtually all of the spiritual assessment tools in use today (i.e., GOD, HOPE, FICA, SPIRIT, etc.) fail to inquire about a critical health factor: religious struggle. A developing and robust literature shows religious struggle can predict future morbidity and mortality of various types. How can Christian health professionals inquire about and deal with the surprisingly common religious struggles patients encounter? Walt Larimore, MD, a family physician, is the co-author of ICMDA's “The Saline Process,” CMDA US's “The Saline Solution” and “Grace Prescriptions,” and the inspiration for CMDA US's new “Faith Prescriptions.” Walt has been recognized in International Health Professionals of the Year and International Health Scientists of the Year as well as The 2000 Intellectuals of the 21st Century.
Recorded on 27 October 2022 for ICMDA Webinars. Dr Peter Saunders chairs a webinar and Q&A with Dr Walt Larimore. 'How come we don't bring our faith to work with us more often?' That was a question the Lord used to convict Dr Walt of the fact that although his personal relationship with God was the primary relationship in his life, more often than not he tended to leave God at the door when entering the hospital or medical office. This webinar will discuss the rationale for including a spiritual history as part of the health history for patients. Just a few questions that all health professionals can ask will help discern how to best care for our patients, while also communicating to them that we care about more than just their physical health. Walt Larimore, MD, a family physician, is the co-author of ICMDA's “The Saline Process,” CMDA's “The Saline Solution” and “Grace Prescriptions,” and the inspiration for CMDA's new “Faith Prescriptions”.

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: Normal saline is thought to interfere with renal function and cause an acidosis and balanced fluids (like lactated ringers) are a better option The SALT-ED trial and SMART trial showed a small benefit with renal injury and need for dialysis using balanced fluid in critically ill patients Recent multicenter RCT in Brazil evaluated balanced fluids versus normal saline and looked at 90-day mortality Found no difference in 90-day mortality or secondary outcomes like renal function PLUS trial is currently being done in Australia and New Zealand to further evaluate fluid choice Larger trials don't show a major difference at this point, keep an eye out for future trials References Semler MW, Wanderer JP, Ehrenfeld JM, et al.

This week we dive into one of our top ten lists, the 10 important health benefits of iodine. This critically important nutrient is used by the thyroid gland to make thyroid hormones that control many functions in the body including growth and development. Because your body does not produce iodine, it needs to be supplied in the diet. When iodine intake is poor, the body cannot produce enough thyroid hormones. Tune in to learn more… Iodine The fact is that iodine is utilized for just about every function in your body. Yet many people are unaware of their body's need for iodine, and that iodine deficiency has reached epidemic proportions worldwide. 10 Important Health Benefits of Iodine Here are 10 reasons why maintaining sufficient iodine levels is an absolute MUST for your health: #10. Iodine Helps Stabilize Your Mood It is well known that low iodine levels can have an impact on the brain, as mentioned above. More recent research has also linked iodine deficiency to depression and anxiety. A 2004 study conducted by German researchers and published in the Journal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience [1] found a link between “alterations of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and mild cases of depression and anxiety.” TSH is produced by the pituitary gland to signal the thyroid to produce more thyroid hormones. Fluctuations in TSH are often an indication that the thyroid is not getting enough iodine to do its job [2]. #9. Iodine Maintains Strong Teeth and Bones Iodine assists in the production of strong teeth and bones by being a key player in calcium absorption. In fact, the connection between low iodine, low calcium absorption, and hypothyroidism has been known by researchers for at least the last hundred years [3] One of the functions of the thyroid is the production of calcitonin, a hormone which helps balance blood calcium levels. This mechanism not only leads to maintain strong bones; it also plays a role in healthy functioning of the nervous system, heart and muscles. #8. Iodine Helps Prevents Hair Loss Besides protecting the skin and eyes from UV radiation, adequate levels of iodine can give your skin and hair a healthy glow. This is because iodine is involved in cellular rejuvenation [4]. Healthy iodine levels also prevent hair loss because of the nutrients supplied to the thyroid gland [5]. Iodine in combination with other essential minerals such as iron, magnesium, and zinc can be a powerful internal tonic for thinning hair. #7. Iodine Ensures Reproductive Health Did you know that Japanese women have the lowest rates of breast cancer in the world? A 2003 report published in the journal Breast Cancer Research postulated that this could be a direct result of eating iodine- and selenium-rich seaweed, which is a staple in the Japanese diet [6 ]. Iodine is fuel for reproductive glands as well as the thyroid. Studies suggest that getting enough iodine can help prevent fibrocystic breast disease, preeclampsia, ovarian cancer, ovarian cysts, vaginitis, polycystic ovary syndrome, and even breast cancer. Enough iodine in the body is also one aspect of a healthy pregnancy [7]. #6. Iodine Is a Powerful Antioxidant According to some experts, iodine may be as powerful in this regard as vitamin C! [8] It can help reduce free radical damage that may lead to gene mutation and disease. It is a great boon for the immune system as it helps clean the blood of harmful pathogens. A 2013 meta-analysis [9] published by the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in the journal Thyroid found that iodine is “an antioxidant as well as an antiproliferative and differentiation agent” which can help clear up free radical damage in many organs of the body. It is also a powerful anti-inflammatory. #5. Iodine Is a Natural Antiseptic Maybe you remember that brownish-red solution your mom used to apply when you had a cut? For everything from cleaning wounds to purifying water, iodine is a sterilizing substance that can kill unhealthy organisms, bacteria and viruses. A 2015 Iranian study found that a low-concentration iodine antiseptic used after oral surgery helped instigate first-stage wound healing in the surgery area, leading to faster recovery and less chance of infection [10]. #4. Iodine Protects You From Radiation It is a natural protectant from UV radiation for the eyes, according to a 2004 Austrian study [11]. Iodine supplementation can also be used to help individuals suffering from long-term radiation exposure. The effects of too much radiation can happen because of accidents, medical devices, and the radiation emitted by TSA scanners at airports. A 2008 study [12] published in Radiation Research discovered that “terahertz radiation” like that found in airport x-ray scanners is linked to genetic mutation. Adequate amounts of iodine in the body is a must for anyone who travels a lot. #3. Iodine Protects the Body From Toxins Fluoride, chlorine, and bromine are dangerous chemicals found in everything from new car interiors to tap water. They can also severely hinder thyroid function. Maintaining healthy iodine levels can block these “halide” chemicals from accumulating [13]. Iodine can also protect against xenoestrogens – “chemical mimics” – that can lead to reproductive conditions like ovarian cysts and uterine fibroids [14]. Some experts, such as author and natural health advocate Dr. Mark Sircus [15], point to the possibility that iodine may also help with mercury detoxification. #2. Iodine Helps Your Brain Stay Sharp Iodine deficiency has been linked to cognitive decline in countless studies and is one of the “world's most prevalent, yet easily preventable, cause[s] of brain damage,” according to the World Health Organization [16]. Iodine deficiency during pregnancy has been linked to autism in a recent University of Arizona study [17]. Furthermore, a 2013 Australian investigation published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience found that iodine supplementation improved the perceptual reasoning of slightly deficient children considerably [18]. #1. Iodine Is Necessary for Metabolism and Thyroid Function Metabolism is the act of converting food into substances your body can use. It helps the body break down food into nutrients via the thyroid gland and other mechanisms. Iodine is the literal “fuel” for the thyroid. Triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) are the main hormones that the thyroid produces. For these hormones to be created, they need iodine. Good thyroid health also helps your body keep a steady heart rate, regulate temperature, improve digestion, and maintain a healthy weight. [19] Nascent Iodine – is also known as atomic iodine, monatomic iodine, Atomidine, or colloidal iodine. The term “nascent” refers to iodine that has an incomplete number of electrons. This gives it an electrical charge, according to a report conducted by the non-profit Weston Price Foundation and others. Many forms of dietary iodine break down into iodide in the digestive tract. In this state, iodine-dependent organs like the thyroid and reproductive organs cannot use it. The charge of nascent iodine helps it stay intact and absorb quickly and thoroughly into the organs that need it most.

Leave your faith at the door. Don't bring your God to work. Religion is a private matter. We've all heard things similar to this, and maybe we've thought them ourselves. In the modern world, faith is not something that seems to have a natural space in the workplace or the public square. There is a definite sacred/secular divide in public thought, and, if we are honest, in much of the church.CMF has always been committed to what we call 'whole life faith', and at the heart of our mission is our strapline 'uniting and equipping Christian doctors and nurses to live and speak for Jesus Christ'. But what does this mean in practice? What is the sacred/secular divide? Should we bridge it, and if so, how?In this edition of 1st incision, I'll be talking to Sue Holcombe, who has just taken up a role as CMF's Associate for Whole Life Faith to find out the answers to all these questions, and more.To contact Sue, email her at sue.holcombe@cmf.org.ukTo find out more about our Saline Solution courses visit www.cmf.org.uk/doctors/saline-solution/You can watch talks from Mark Greene from the 2021 CMF National Conference on what 'whole life faith' is all about on the CMFtv YouTube channel.You can find out more about our national network of local Catalyst Teams here: www.cmf.org.uk/catalyst-teams/Support the show (https://cmf.li/Give)

Drs Nuelle and Cook discuss Use of a Hyperosmolar Saline Solution to Mitigate Proinflammatory and Degradative Responses of Articular Cartilage and Meniscus for Application to Arthroscopic Surgery
About 25 years ago, while sharing an early morning cup of coffee with my dear friend and practice partner, family physician John Hartman, MD, he asked, “Walt, how come we don’t bring our faith to work with us more often?” It was a question the Lord used to convict me of the fact that although my personal relationship with God was the primary and most important relationship in my life, more often than not I tended to leave Him at the door when entering the hospital or medical office. The question was the catalyst for this talk: Spiritual Interventions in Patient Care. Research findings, a desire to provide high-quality care, and simple common sense, all underscore the need to integrate spirituality into patient care. It is highly ethical for healthcare professionals and healthcare systems to assess their patients’ spiritual health and needs and to provide indicated and desired spiritual interventions. Clinicians and health care systems should not deprive their patients of the spiritual support and comfort on which their hope, health, wellbeing, and longevity may hinge. Before you get started, I must share this caution from Stephen Post, PhD: “Professional problems can occur when well-meaning healthcare professionals ‘faith-push’ a patient opposed to discussing religion.” However, on the other side of the coin, “rather than ignoring faith completely with all patients, most of whom want to discuss it, we can explore which of our patients are interested and who are not.” Simply put, a spiritual assessment can help us do this with each patient we see. We can potentially gain the following from a spiritual assessment: The patient’s religious background, The role that religious or spiritual beliefs or practices play in coping with illness (or causing distress), Beliefs that may influence or conflict with decisions about medical care, The patient’s level of participation in a spiritual community and whether the community is supportive, and Any spiritual needs that might be present. Several fairly-easy-to-use mnemonics have been designed to help health professionals, such as the “GOD” spiritual assessment I developed for CMDA’s Saline Solution: G = God: − May I ask your faith background? Do you have a spiritual or faith preference? Is God, spirituality, religion or spiritual faith important to you now, or has it been in the past? O = Others: − Do you now meet with others in religious or spiritual community, or have you in the past? If so, how often? How do you integrate with your faith community? D = Do: − What can I do to assist you in incorporating your spiritual or religious faith into your medical care? Or, is there anything I can do to encourage your faith? May I pray with or for you? However, this and other spiritual assessment tools fail to inquire about a critical item involving spiritual health: any religious struggles the patient may be having. A robust literature shows religious struggles can predict mortality, as there is an inverse association between faith and morbidity and mortality of various types. Sir William Osler, one of the founding professors of Johns Hopkins Hospital and frequently described as the “Father of Modern Medicine,” wrote, “Nothing in life is more wonderful than faith…the one great moving force which we can neither weigh in the balance nor test in the crucibIe - mysterious, indefinable, known only by its effects, faith pours out an unfailing stream of energy while abating neither jot nor tittle of its potence.” You can experience that driving force of faith when you apply these principles of spiritual assessment in your practice of healthcare, thereby allowing you to minister to your patients in ways you never imagined possible, while also increasing personal and professional satisfaction. One doctor recently shared with me, “Ministering in my practice has allowed God to bear fruit in and through me in new and wonderful ways. I can’t wait to see what He’s going to do in and through me each day. My practice and I have been transformed.”
This piece provides "a thumbnail sketch summary of the fluid debate". Challenging the "prevailing wisdom" regarding fluid management, the kidney and volume overload; "as a young Doctor you sort of got the impression that if you got the kidney to handle a lot of fluid somehow it would be happier". Sodium and volume overload are in fact issues and extra work for the kidney and have tended to cause more difficulties than they solved.

Define: Saltiness Let’s be honest: Everyone gets Salty sometimes, it’s nearly impossible to avoid. But maybe by investigating the way we feel, we can get salty less often, and perhaps handle the times when we do get salty, a little better? Saltiness might be different for different people What makes Ryan and Zack Salty? If you think about, with a base 25% chance to win a game, cards that are making you lose the game, shouldn’t produce as much salt as they do Remind ourselves that we are playing a GAME and that it’s supposed to be fun! Take a moment to think about your mood. Is there something going on in your life that is making you more prone to getting salty? Maybe now is not the time to get into a competitive situation Run more answers Not take things personally. Realize if someone is acting different than they normally do, and if so, some of your normal behaviors might be perceived differently, so dial it back a bit? Have the talk to prevent saltiness Ryan - Often times I like to play a mono-red (or more of my just-for-fun decks). I go into the game not planning to win. I still play to win, but I don’t have the expectation of winning, so I usually don’t get salty Focus on having fun as much as winning What can we do about getting Salty? Are we getting salty more often than we should? Do you win more than 25% of the games? Do you often times find people groaning when you play specific cards? Are people not wanting to play with you? Are you a sore winner or loser? We like to turn the focus inwards, so we want to ask “Do we sometimes behave in a way that could contribute to other’s Salinity levels? Disclaimer: We don’t play against much MLD in our meta, so none of that made our lists https://edhrec.com/top/salt Also, EDHRec has a list of Salty cards, check it out here: secret Zack secret Ryan Ryan and Zack’s Top 8 Cards that make them want to be salty. Summary. This is a great game, with an amazing community, let’s all try to make it a little better, and get Salty less often, and try to be more understanding when people we play with get Salty.

Investigation about the use of analgesics for the reduction of castration-induced pain in suckling piglets. This study is intended to investigate the implementation of analgesics in order to reduce pain induced by the castration of suckling piglets. Serum Cortisol and postoperative behaviour are used as parameters. Additionally, the influence on the healing process of the castration wounds is evaluated. 320 four to six day old male piglets with a good general condition and a birth weight over 1000g, are randomly allocated to group 1 to 15. The injections for the animals of group 12 to 15 are blinded. group number of animals application of the agent castration Cortisol 1 Handling NaCl 35 0,3 ml Saline Solution (0,9%) i.m. no 2 Handling Meloxicam 25 0,4 mg Meloxicam/kg wt i.m. no 3 Handling Flunixin 26 2,2 mg Flunixin-Meglumin/kg wt i.m. no 4 Handling Detomidin 25 40 μg Detomidinhydrochlorid/kg wt i.m. no 5 Castration NaCl 28 0,3 ml Saline Solution (0,9%) i.m. yes 6 Castration Meloxicam 25 0,4 mg Meloxicam/kg wt i.m. yes 7 Castration Flunixin 26 2,2 mg Flunixin-Meglumin/kg wt i.m. yes 8 Castration Metamizol + Skopolamin 25 50 mg Metamizol and 0,4 mg N-Butylscopolaminiumbromid/kg wt i.m. yes 9 Castration Metamizol 25 50 mg Metamizol/kg wt i.m. yes 10 Castration Carprofen 15 1,4 mg Carprofen/kg wt s.c. yes 11 Castration Detomidin 25 40 μg Detomidinhydrochlorid/kg wt i.m. yes Behaviour 12 Handling NaCl 10 0,3 ml Saline Solution (0,9%) i.m. no 13 Castration NaCl 10 0,3 ml Saline Solution (0,9%) i.m. yes 14 Castration Meloxicam 10 0,4 mg Meloxicam/kg wt i.m. yes 15 Castration Flunixin 10 2,2 mg Flunixin-Meglumin/kg wt i.m. yes 15 to 30 minutes after administering the substances, piglets are either castrated (groups 5-11 and 13-15) or only restrained for about 30 seconds (groups 1-4 and 12). They are returned to their box immediately afterwards. 2-3 ml blood is taken from all animals of the cortisol-groups before the application of the agents including 30 minutes, one hour, four and 24 hours after castration/fixation, and the concentration of cortisol in the serum is measured. The behaviour of all animals in groups 12 to 15 is observed individually for 20 minutes in the first and third hour after castration. Additionally, all piglets are scanned every 60 seconds for certain behaviours. On the first, fourth, seventh and 14th day after castration, wound healing and general condition are assessed and a “clinical score” is determined. The results of the cortisol measurement show that handling the animals has little influence on the cortisol level, while castration leads to a significant rise of the cortisol concentration that is still present four hours later. All of the tested non-opioid analgesics reduce the rise of the cortisol concentration after castration and a considerable reduction is especially noticeable after one hour. Group 6 “Castration Meloxicam” and group 7 “Castration Flunixin” show the lowest cortisol response to castration. The concentrations of cortisol in those two groups are significantly lower 30 minutes, one and four hours after castration than the concentration of group 5 “Castration NaCl”, and already after one hour they do not differ significantly from the corresponding handling groups. Irregardless if animals are castrated or only restrained, the use of Detomidin (group 4 and 11) leads to higher values of cortisol after castration/fixation compared to the values after the application of NaCl (group 1 and 5). A conspicuous impact on the postoperative behaviour is obvious when non-opioid analgesics are used. The frequency of occurrence of castration-induced signs of pain, drooping the tail and changing the position is explicitly reduced when Meloxicam and Flunixin are injected before castration. The effect of Flunixin is most clear. In this group, the incidence of castration-induced signs is only higher for five minutes after castration when compared to the Handling-group. Animals without preoperative medication show an overall reduced activity at the mammary glands and playing. Results indicate that non-opioid analgesics, especially efficient anti-inflammatory drugs like Meloxicam and Flunixin, are capable of reducing castration-induced pain in piglets. The castration wounds of 76,5% of the piglets are healed completely after 14 days. NSAIDs are incapable of improving the healing process.
