Podcasts about Scd

This PedsCases episode will review the Canadian Paediatric Society Position Statement from November 2022, "Acute complications in children with sickle cell disease: Prevention and management". By the end of this podcast, listeners will be able to 1) understand how to prevent mortality and morbidity associated with SCD, 2) recognize and manage the common complications of SCD, and 3) know the basic principles of transfusion for patients with SCD. Today's episode was created by Audrey Slater, a fourth-year medical student at the Université de Montréal, in collaboration with the authors of the CPS statement, including Dr. Carolyn E. Beck, a hospitalist pediatrician at SickKids hospital, Dr. Evelyne D. Trottier, a pediatric emergency physician at CHUSJ, Dr. Melanie Kirby-Allen, a haematologist at SickKids Hospital, and Dr. Yves Pastore, a haematologist at CHUSJ. There are no conflicts of interest to disclose by the authors.

From Music to Medicine: Rethinking Clinical Trials, AI, and Real-World Evidence On this episode Gil and Gregg welcome Amir Lahav, MD, ScD, founder and CEO of SkyMedAI and curator of the Digital Health AI Innovation Summit in Boston. Dr. Lahav traces his unlikely path from working musician to Harvard Medical School faculty, Pfizer rare-disease innovator, and now advisor to digital health and life sciences companies. The conversation explores how music-driven neurorehabilitation helped stroke survivors regain motor function, why traditional snapshot-based clinical trials are “embarrassingly wrong” for real-world patients, and how AI and wearables can turn continuous data into earlier detection and more humane care. Lahav also warns about overconfident, under-validated AI and argues that the most successful health companies by 2030 will be those that know when not to use AI.

In this episode, Tina sits down with Dane Johnson, founder of Crohn's Colitis Lifestyle, to break down the real differences between IBD and IBS and why confusing the two can keep people stuck. They dive into the emotional weight of chronic digestive symptoms, the fear around food, and what it truly means to “heal your gut.” From popular diets like SCD and AIP to digestive enzymes, peptides, and biohacking tools, they explore what actually helps. More importantly, they zoom out to the often-overlooked foundations: anatomy, digestion, nervous system regulation, mindset, and long-term sustainability. This conversation challenges the idea that food alone is the answer and offers a grounded, empowering perspective for anyone navigating Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, or chronic gut inflammation. Here's what you'll learn: - Why food alone isn't the full solution for Crohn's and ulcerative colitis - The lifestyle factors that silently trigger inflammation and most patients ignore - Why your happiness and mindset are not “woo” and how they affect your symptoms - How to create your own IBD food philosophy instead of following strict diets forever - His take on supplements, peptides, exosomes, and who actually needs them. - Why most people waste money before fixing foundational habits - His go-to “Digestion-Friendly Salad” and why it works for sensitive guts - One mistake almost everyone with IBD makes when trying to heal their digestion Connect with Tina Haupert: https://carrotsncake.com/ Facebook: Carrots 'N' Cake https://www.facebook.com/carrotsncake Instagram: @carrotsncake https://www.instagram.com/carrotsncake YouTube: Tina Haupert https://www.youtube.com/user/carrotsncake About Tina Haupert: Tina Haupert is the owner of Carrots ‘N' Cake as well as a Certified Nutrition Coach and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner (FDN-P).

HEALTH NEWS A Simple Diet Change Could Slow Liver Cancer Brief, intensive exercise helps patients with panic disorder more than standard care Lucid dreaming could be used for mental health therapy, new study says US cancer institute studying ivermectin's ‘ability to kill cancer cells Too many saturated fats may be more harmful than too many refined carbohydrates.    Clips   Andrew Bridgen - https://x.com/ABridgen/status/2020573528571977993?s=20 MAHA Alliance Mike Tyson Super Bowl Commercial - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg1SjFt1a_U   KETO DIET RISKS    The rationale for Keto Diet by its advocates Restricting carbohydrates, suppressing insulin and ketosis will lead to better metabolic heath, increase weight loss, reduce inflammation, and protect from chronic diseases.   Keto Claim: Carbohydrates raise insulin leading to fat storage – keto lowers insulin and burns body fat better Debunking: Ketosis is a metabolic state and not a health outcome. For example ketones can be elevated by very long fasting, starvation, different illnesses and uncontrolled diabetes.   Keto Claim: By minimizing carbs keto stabilizes blood sugar, reduce insulin spikes, and improve insulin sensitivity that benefits those with type 2 diabetes Debunked: This claim contradicts the evidence of induced hepatic insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in longer-term studies. In animal models, keto diets impair blood sugar regulation within several days, which shows harm for metabolic health.   Keto Claim: Ketones are seen as “clean” fuel that advocates claim are anti inflammatory and neuroprotective. Believe that this along with ketosis lowers triglycerides, raises HDL cholesterol, and improves lipid profiles. They argue that the increase in LDL cholesterol is benign. Claim saturated fats are harmless if carbs are low Debunked:  This claim is undermined by the increased LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and cardiovascular risks from saturated fats in animal products. Meta-analyses show no long-term lipid improvements from keto diets. Rather this is the risk in elevated low-density lipoprotein and very-low-density lipoproteins that increase cardiovascular disease  Also, insulin reduction does not override the quality of fat. LDL cholesterol and ApoB, as well as atherosclerosis, increase significantly on an animal based diet. Saturated fat still remains a causal factor for cardiovascular disease.   Keto Claim: High protein and fat increases satiety and therefore reduces hunger Debunking: Weight loss is primarily from reduced intake due to satiety, not fat-burning efficiency. Long-term keto adherence often leads to weight regain with no significant sustained benefits for visceral fat or appetite control. hort term weight loss is not same as long term benefits. A study shows that weight loss at 3-6 months on a keto diet disappears by 12 months   Keto Claim: It enhances brain function and energy that then improves mental clarity and mood. Argue that animal products like eggs and organ meats provides choline and other nutrients for brain health. Debunked: There is no strong evidence for this claim. In fact keto's nutrient deficiencies and lack of fiber in the long term can lead to fatigue, constipation and in women neural tubal defects. Keto's claims are only based on short term trials.    Keto Claim: Use the evolutionary argument that humans evolved eating meat and fat – same argument the paleo folks used. Therefore, they believe keto diets align with human biology Debunked: A big study in Science in 2025 analyzed tooth enamel from skeletons of some of our oldest human ancestors, 3.5 million years ago, and found they ate predominately a plant based diet with no substantial sigh of mammalian meat. The isotopes matched herbivores (fruits, leaves and grasses, tubers, nuts, other vegetation) not carnivores.     Keto Diet Risks   It is worth noting, according to the Northwestern University Health site, there is a sizable drop out rate of participants in keto trials.   Although, there are studies that show keto does what it claims in the short term, there are no long-term human data to support their claims that an animal-based diet does this efficiently.   Important, research leans in the direction to indicate that keto's benefits – especially weight loss and glucose reduction, are transient and may not be directly related to animal food consumption itself but rather to calorie reduction and limiting glycogen.   Long term prospective studies and systematic meta analysis evaluations consistently show high red meat consumption, full-fat dairy and animal fats are associated with the following medical conditions. This is true even when carbohydrate intake is low   A good thorough study in JAMA shows that unprocessed red meat mildly increases all cause mortality – about 3-5% per 100 grams meat per day   High red and processed meat consumption increases carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds and heterocyclic amines that raise cancer risks by up to 18% per 50-100 grams/day – from meta analysis in the European Journal of Epidemiology   Dairy increases IGF-1 levels thereby too much calcium also suppressing Vitamin D and elevating prostate cancer risks by 79% per 400 gram dairy per day. Worse for processed meats that inreases risk by 21% per 20 grams/day – American Journal of Epidemiology   Red meat is linked to hormonal disruptions and carcinogens contributing breast cancer – European Journal of Cancer   Total unprocessed red meat consumption shows a modest 5% risk in pancreatic cancer per 100 grams/day. – From journal Clinical Nutrition   Many meta-analyses on meats have a relationship to stomach/gastric cancer, but processed meats are worse than unprocessed red meat. From study in Nutrients – 24 studies showed unprocessed red meat associated with gastric cancer by about 25% increase risk for every 100 grams/day.   Unprocessed red meat is linked to an 11% higher risk in overall cardiovascular disease risk due to inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. – from European Heart Journal   Saturated fats in meats increases non-HDL cholesterol and blood pressure and raises the risks of ischemic heart disease by 119% per 100 grams/day red meat – from American J Clinical Nutrition   Red meat diets reduce LDL Cholesterol much less than plant proteins and thereby increase atherosclerosis risks – from the journal Circulation   Red meats (an processed meats also in this study) contributes to insulin resistance via heme iron and raises Type 2 diabetes risks by up to 51% per 50 grams/day – International Journal Environmental Research in Public Health   Saturated fats in unprocessed red meat has a modest positive 12% increase with stroke risk – From  European Heart Journal Unprocessed poultry consumption shows a modest 4% increase in incident cardiovascular events per 100 grams/day. This is believed to be due to arachidonic acid poultry – in JAMA   Red meat contributes to sodium and saturated fat intact raising hypertension conditions by 14% per 50-100 gram/day – from journal Advanced Nutrition   Saturated fats from animal products cause lipotoxicity and insulin resistance, that promotes hepatic fat accumulation leading to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease – from Cardiovascular Development and Disease   High animal protein increases urinary calcium and acid overload leading to the formation of kidney stones – from the journal Nutrient   Animal-heavy diets have low fiber and micronutrient intake that contribute to nutrient deficiencies. Also causes constipation that can lead to immune system issues. – from the journal Nutrients   Red meat, dairy, and eggs disrupts the gut metabolism of carnitine and choline. This promotes TMAO plaque formation and inflammation that leads to atherosclerosis. – from Journal of Cardiovascular Development.   Although unprocessed meat consumption has not been adequately associated with dementia and Alzheimer's – yes, processed meats do – there are studies showing red meat is associated with “subjective cognitive decline” (SCD) which is related to precursors to dementia and Alzheimer's. A study in journal Neurology  links unprocessed red meat eaten at 1 or more servings per day to 16% higher risk in SCD.   High caloric density from saturated animal fats displaces fiber that contributes to weight gain obesity. From Neal Barnard in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition   Animal products transmit prions that are associated with neurodegenerative disorders.  Proinflammatory compounds like TMAO are linked to neurological risks. – in International Journal of Molecular Science

Many of us know about someone who seemed perfectly healthy, and then one day, without warning, they had a cardiac event. No symptoms on the surface, and no sign their heart was struggling behind the scenes. We've been taught to think of sudden cardiac death as something random and unstoppable: a tragic event with no warning and no chance of prevention. But the truth is: up to 63% of sudden cardiac deaths could be avoided with simple, consistent lifestyle choices. Not pills or high-tech devices, just the way we live every day. That's the message buried inside the latest data that most people, including doctors, aren't talking about. Better cardiorespiratory fitness can outweigh the risk posed by obesity. A handful of nuts and a walk might protect you more than a statin ever could. Even your attitude, your sense of connection, your stress response, and your sleep can shift the odds in your favor. Yet most people still believe sudden cardiac events are just "bad luck" or genetics. They don't realize how much control they actually have. And when lifestyle is this powerful, the real question isn't "What's my risk?" It's "What can I do today to lower it?" In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Ronney Shantouf, a preventive cardiologist who bridges both sides of medicine: procedures that save lives in the moment, and lifestyle changes that prevent the crisis from ever happening.  We get into what actually lowers the risk of sudden cardiac death, and what most people get wrong about it. Things You'll Learn In This Episode Lifestyle can beat the odds Up to 40–63% of sudden cardiac deaths are preventable through behavior, not medication. So if genetics isn't destiny, what daily choices create the biggest impact? Not all exercise is equal Consistent, moderate activity dramatically lowers SCD risk. But sudden bursts of vigorous exercise? They can temporarily increase it. How do you train smarter, not just harder? Food isn't fuel, it's a signal Whether you're low-carb, plant-forward, or Mediterranean, one pattern wins: real, minimally processed food. What are the dietary patterns that protect your heart, and the ones that quietly push risk higher? Stress and sleep don't just affect heart health; they can trigger it Emotional stress can provoke dangerous spasms and arrhythmias. Poor sleep creates inflammatory conditions the heart can't hide from. How can we stop treating stress and sleep as "soft" lifestyle advice and see them as medical priorities?   About our Guest Dr. Ronney Shantouf, MD, is a Staff Physician at the Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, where he serves in multiple leadership roles, including Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab, co-Director of the Complex Coronary Program, and co-Director of the Invasive Coronary Spasm and Microvascular Dysfunction Program. In addition to performing advanced interventional procedures, he oversees the Cardiac Wellness Program and specializes in cardiac prevention and advanced lipid management. Before joining Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Dr. Shantouf was a Health Sciences Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. There, he served as Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Lab at Olive View-UCLA Medical Center and chaired the Cardiology Education Course for the Internal Medicine Residency Program.

In this episode, Jonathan Johnson, MD, and guest speakers, Cindy Miller, RN, and Ashley Collinsworth, ScD, MPH, highlight data showing that early initiation of negative pressure wound therapy with instillation and dwell—within the first day of treatment—can improve outcomes and reduce costs. Patients treated early had shorter hospital stays, fewer procedures, and over $10,000 in savings per admission. Tune in as Dr. Jonathan Johnson (Dr. Wounds) and guests discuss how optimizing timing can elevate efficiency and healing in wound care.

This week's EYE ON NPI will help you breathe easier, with the smallest CO2 sensor we've ever seen: it's the Sensirion STCC4 Miniature CO2 Sensor (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/s/sensirion/stcc4-miniature-co2-sensor) Sensirion has always been our top choice for air quality sensing, and now they've got the tiniest sensor yet with ambient-air CO2 measurements. We've covered many Sensirion CO2 sensors before, and made breakouts for the most popular like the SCD-30 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sensirion-ag/SCD30/8445334) and SCD-40 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sensirion-ag/SCD40-D-R2/13684003). Sensirion has also made fully-integrated sensors like the SEN-66 which have an SCD sensor inside (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sensirion-ag/SEN66-SIN-T/25700945). There's also older eCO2 sensors like the SGP30 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sensirion-ag/SGP30-2-5K/7400966) which did 'effective' CO2 measurements by estimating based on organic gas concentrations. While CO2 measurements have always been important for keeping humans and animals happy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide#Human_physiology) - our bodies and brains don't like it when the CO2 concentration goes over ~2000 ppm - it was fairly uncommon to see CO2 monitors in homes or offices. That changed with Covid, because CO2 became a good stand-in for air circulation / clearance: outside air is around 400 ppm, so the closer the indoor air is to 400 ppm the better the circulation. For folks who need the most accurate CO2 sensing, we'd still point them to the SCD-30 NDIR as a gold-standard (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sensirion-ag/SCD30/8445334) but it has the side effect of requiring a lot of space and is not particularly low power. The SCD-40 improved on the size/power requirements, using acoustic sensing instead of infrared light. However, if you want something really small, for wearables or phones or portable sensing, we now have a new sensor! The Sensirion STCC4 Miniature CO2 Sensor (https://www.digikey.com/short/nn982w9w) is only 3mm x 4mm x 1.2mm and uses thermal conductivity of the ambient air to calculate CO2 concentration. This means it works only for 'natural ambient air' measurements that have a similar profile to outdoor/indoor air, it's not good for scientific measurement or extreme/outlier locations and situations. Like the SCD30 and '40 series, the STCC4 will auto-calibrate (https://www.digikey.com/short/nn982w9w) to account for drift. To do that, it must be exposed to outdoor air, with approximate 400 ppm CO2 concentration once a week. Once it has completed its initial startup calibration, it will give measurements with +-100ppm accuracy. Note that this is not as good as the SCD30's +-30ppm or the SCD40's +-50ppm as the tradeoff for the smaller size and price. It also works best with separate temperature + humidity calibration - they suggest the SHT4x series such as SHT40 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sensirion-ag/SHT40-AD1B-R3/14322709) or SHT41 (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/sensirion-ag/SHT41-AD1B-R3/15296592) which you can wire up to the peripheral I2C pins for automatic readings. We noted that although the specifications for the STCC4 imply you can use 5V power/logic, that doesn't apply to the SHT4x series so its better to just have everything run at 3.3V. Sensor readings happen over I2C, and if you've used other Sensirion products you're probably familiar with their 'Command / Response / CRC' style of messaging. Thankfully no clock stretching is used, although it will NAK if the message isn't handled during a read. Two I2C addresses are available thanks to an ADDR pin. And if you want to get started fast, there's a ready-written Arduino compatible library available on GitHub (https://github.com/Sensirion/arduino-i2c-stcc4) as well as Python and embedded C (https://github.com/Sensirion?q=stcc&type=all&language=&sort=). For fast plug-and-play integration, Sensirion has also released an eval board (https://www.digikey.com/short/qwn75j80) and we really like that they went with a simple low-cost Qwiic/Stemma QT design (https://learn.adafruit.com/introducing-adafruit-stemma-qt/what-is-stemma) with integrated SHT4x that you can use immediately with dev board that has a JST-SH compatible connector. If you want to integrate the smallest, lowest-cost CO2 sensor we've seen, from the experts at Sensirion, check out the Sensirion STCC4 Miniature CO2 Sensor (https://www.digikey.com/short/nn982w9w) - it's in stock right now for immediate shipment from DigiKey! Order the STCC4 sensor today and by tomorrow morning you'll be taking measurements of indoor CO2 with ready-to-go eval board and firmware example code.

Today's episode is all about Autism and its associated communication disorders, as outlined in the DSM-5-TR, focusing on social communication disorder (SCD), childhood onset fluency disorder (stuttering), speech sound disorder, and developmental language disorder (DLD), which affect 50-70%, 4-22%, 20-30%, and up to 50% of Autistic individuals, respectively. We explore neural underpinnings, highlighting hypoactivation in brain regions and brain waves are discussed that are critical for social cognition, alongside disrupted connectivity in networks like the arcuate and superior longitudinal fasciculi.

To kick off our Rocks to Roots Rewind Series, we're going all the way back to where it started — Episode 1 with Vicki Carter, Director of the Spokane Conservation District.In this conversation, recorded during the wild and unpredictable summer of 2020, Vicki shares the history of the Conservation District, its impact across Spokane County, and her bold vision for the future of land stewardship in our region.You'll also hear an early mention of what was then just a dream: the 50-acre Quarry campus that has since become the new home of the SCD — and a hub for conservation, education, and community connection.Whether you've been with us from the beginning or are just joining in, we're so glad you're here. Let's jump in.

a focus on its acute presentations and the care we can deliver to improve outcomes for our patients. Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a lifelong inherited blood disorder that affects over 15,000 people in the UK, and millions worldwide. It's caused by the production of abnormal haemoglobin molecules, which distort red blood cells into a crescent, or “sickle,” shape. These rigid cells can block small blood vessels, leading to painful vaso-occlusive crises and organ damage. While the condition has long been most prevalent in parts of Africa, the Middle East, the Mediterranean and India, today it's a global health issue, and one we encounter regularly in UK emergency care. Tragically, failings in care have too often led to avoidable harm. The 2021 parliamentary report “No One's Listening” laid bare some of these cases, highlighting missed opportunities, poor awareness, and systemic issues that cost lives, such as the death of Evan Nathan Smith. So why are we revisiting this now? In 2024, RCEM published new Best Practice Guidelines on managing sickle cell disease in the ED. These provide clear, evidence-based standards for recognition, triage, analgesia, infection control, and safe discharge. In this episode, we take you through the key elements; Pathophysiology – how a genetic mutation drives sickling, vaso-occlusion and inflammation. Clinical presentations – from painful crises and acute chest syndrome, to stroke, anaemia, infection, priapism and pregnancy-related complications. Recognition and triage – why timely pain control within 30 minutes is a must, and how to spot red flags. Investigations and treatment – including the role of reticulocytes, the importance of knowing a patient's baseline haemoglobin, and principles of analgesia, transfusion, oxygen, and supportive care. Discharge and ongoing care – ensuring safe, joined-up planning, and involving haematology and specialist pathways wherever possible. The take-home message? Every sickle cell crisis is a medical emergency. We need to listen to patients, escalate early, involve haematology, and deliver care that meets the standards they deserve. Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon, Rob & James

CardioNerds guest host Dr. Colin Blumenthal joins Dr. Juma Bin Firos and Dr. Aishwarya Verma from the Trinity Health Livonia Hospital to discuss a fascinating case involving malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Mohammed Ali-Jazayeri. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Julia Marques Fernandes.  This case explores the puzzling presentation of exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia in a young, otherwise healthy male who suffered recurrent out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. With no traditional risk factors and an unremarkable ischemic workup, the challenge lay in uncovering the underlying cause of his malignant arrhythmias. Electrophysiology studies and advanced imaging played a pivotal role in systematically narrowing the differentials, revealing an unexpected arrhythmogenic substrate. This episode delves into the diagnostic dilemma, the role of EP testing, and the critical decision-making surrounding ICD placement in a patient with a concealed but life-threatening condition.  US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds!

Pearls- Malignant Ventricular Arrhythmias This case highlights the challenges and importance of diagnosing and managing ventricular arrhythmias in young, seemingly healthy individuals. Here are five key takeaways from the episode:  Electrophysiology (EP) studies play a crucial role in identifying arrhythmogenic substrates in patients with exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia (VT) without obvious structural heart disease. In this case, substrate mapping revealed late abnormal ventricular afterdepolarizations in the basal inferior left ventricle, providing valuable insights into the underlying mechanism.  Cardiac MRI can be a powerful tool for detecting subtle myocardial abnormalities. The subepicardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in the lateral and inferior LV walls suggested an underlying myocardial process, even when other imaging modalities appeared normal.  The VT morphology can provide clues about the underlying mechanism. In this case, the right bundle branch block pattern with a northwest axis and shifting exit sites pointed towards a scar-mediated mechanism rather than a channelopathy or idiopathic VT.  Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement is crucial for secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with malignant ventricular arrhythmias, even in young individuals. The patient's initial deferral of ICD implantation highlights the importance of shared decision-making and patient education in these complex cases.  "Scar-mediated VT introduces the risk of new arrhythmogenic substrates over time, reinforcing the need for ICD therapy even when catheter ablation is considered." This pearl emphasizes the dynamic nature of the arrhythmogenic substrate and the importance of long-term risk mitigation strategies.  Notes - Malignant Ventricular Arrhythmias Notes were drafted by Juma Bin Firos.  1. What underlying pathologies cause ventricular arrhythmias in young patients without overt structural heart disease? Myocardial fibrosis: Detected via late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac MRI Present in 38% of nonischemic cardiomyopathy cases Increases sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk 5-fold Often localized to subepicardial regions, particularly in the inferolateral left ventricle (LV) May precede overt systolic dysfunction by years Subclinical cardiomyopathy: 67% of young VT patients show subtle cardiac dysfunction Suggests VT may be the first manifestation of cardiomyopathy

Melissa E. Middeldorp, MPH, PhD is joined by Martin K. Stiles, MBChB, PhD, FHRS, University of Auckland and Waikato Hospital and Eloi Marijon, MD, PhD, Paris University & European Georges Pompidou Hospital, to discuss this Danish nationwide study examines the relationship between socioeconomic position (SEP) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) as well as all-cause mortality (ACM). Analyzing all deaths in Denmark from 2010, researchers found a strong inverse association between both income and education level and the risk of SCD and ACM. Individuals in the lowest income and education groups had significantly higher rates of SCD, even after adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidities. The study highlights that despite Denmark's universal healthcare system, socioeconomic disparities in health outcomes persist, suggesting that factors beyond healthcare access—such as health literacy, lifestyle, and systemic inequalities—play a crucial role. The findings call for further research into the mechanisms driving these disparities and the development of targeted prevention strategies.  https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://academic.oup.com/europace/article/27/4/euaf001/7958953?login=false Host Disclosure(s): M.

Send us a textThis conversation is the fourth and final segment of SurfingMASH's April discussion of drug development in memory of Stephen A. Harrison. In addition to co-hosts Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green, panelists include hepatologist and key opinion leader Sven Francque. The discussion focuses on PPARs, genetic medicines, and other emerging drug classes while considering the idea that drug therapies can have an impact on the liver independent of their effect on fibrosis regression. It begins with Sven  discussing his experience as a lead investigator in clinical trials for the pan-PPAR agonist lanifibranor, whose Phase 3 trial is now fully recruited. Sven states that in addition to fibrosis regression, lanifibranor is likely to exhibit other pleiotropic effects, and notes that vascular changes start early in the fibrotic progression process. After Sven elaborates on these effects, Louise asks about the SCD-1 agent Aramchol. This leads to a discussion about the idea that over time, therapy will probably come to incorporate two separate modes of action, with one to treat the metabolic dysfunction and the other to treat specific effects in the liver or, as Jörn puts it, "combining weight-neutral and weight-reducing drugs." This evolves into a discussion of what Louise terms "personal-centric" medicine, or what patient advocate Mike Betel has previously described on SurfingMASH as "tailored medicine."The rest of the conversation predominantly lists other classes of drugs, "safe" mitochondrial uncouplers, genetic medicines, and others. Roger inquires about the FASN inhibitors, which are entering Phase 3 clinical trials. Jörn says that the data appears positive and unique. That said, he and Sven agree we need more data.Louise sounds the closing note for this roundtable by discussing our co-founder, Stephen Harrison, and the energy and enthusiasm he brought to the entire drug development process. The group agrees that Stephen's impact continues to be felt through the MASLD community, even as he is missed by us all.

I probably will no matter the answer to this question but just had this thought and wanted to see what the response is. Does SCD cover you for other firearm related incidents that don't involve self defense? For example, carrying a gun in a commie state like if I vacationed to New York or Illinois? Slightly more extreme situation, do they help protect me if I'm found to be in possession of some NFA items without the proper paperwork? If I have the basic plan and someone in my household uses one of my guns to defend against an intruder and I'm not home, do they help with that if I own the home and gun? Are there specific circumstances that they blatantly say they don't cover or help with outside of the “I'm obviously completely in the wrong, misused a firearm, and am completely retarded” scenarios? You guys rock. No notes.   Additional Info From Mitch C:  I am the one that had the question about Second Call Defense and wanted to provide a little more clarity to what I was asking. When I heard you read it, I realized it did sound pretty retarded basically asking if I blatantly commit a felony will they protect me. That's not what I meant, Jeremy.   The NFA part in my question was in reference to if I had my legally owned can out at the range and for whatever reason I don't have a copy of my tax stamp on me. Or SBR. Or if there is a fudd agent that believes I have an unregistered SBR but it's really an AOW because my overall length is greater than 26”. I'm not asking if I just go ahead and drill a third hole on a Wednesday night if they will defend me in court. I just want to know if they will cover me against a power hungry, incompetent ATF agent or like I said earlier, a lapse in judgement where I grab the wrong range bag that doesn't have the tax stamp for my legally owned suppressor and my luck is so terrible that I cross an ATF check point at the range. Exaggerated and most likely not to happen but just curious.   The conceal carry in a bad state scenario is if I'm traveling from Ohio to Iowa and have to pass through Illinois. I believe the laws have changed to allow me to carry as long as I don't have plans to stay in Illinois but please correct me if I'm wrong on that. But if it's riot season and get caught up in a situation where I have to use it to protect myself, will SCD still cover me? Again, I know specific and it's still breaking the law, to agree with Jeremy, but will SCD still fight for my right to self protection in that state? And I don't even mean a Rittenhouse scenario, I mean I stop at a gas station to fill up and it just so happens to be wrong station at wrong time. I know, I know… be aware of surroundings and don't put yourself in those situations but on a drive I've never taken before to a place I've never before and it's just a stop for gas, who knows what's off that exit. Very specific, I know, but just trying to paint a picture. Or does SCD only cover me when everything is legal and black and white and in the lines? I feel like these scenarios are very gray areas and not so black and white. Yes it's illegal for me to carry in Illinois but does that still make it illegal ...

Today, Ali and Asif, after a digression about Paris restaurants and Reddit trolls, discuss the career of Bill Burr (7:33). They discuss his early life, starting out in comedy, his Philly rant and his podcast. They then discuss his television cartoon ‘F is for Family' and his acting roles, his film ‘Old Dads'  including his recent broadway turn in ‘Glengarry Glen Ross'. They then discuss Burr's standup style, whether comedians can be “happy and funny”, and Burr's recent special ‘Drop Dead Years'.  They then (under duress) discuss the recent interview which Howie Mandel conducted with Bill Burr, where Mandel brings out Billy Corgan (Smashing Pumpkins) who is allegedly Burr's half-brother.    Based on some topics brought up in his special, the guys discuss sudden cardiac death (SCD) (50:44). Asif starts off by differentiating between heart attacks, sudden cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death. He then goes over how common it is and the major causes. Asif differentiates how the causes of SCD differ between young people and middle aged people. He then goes over the prognosis and first aid treatment if someone you know has a suspected sudden cardiac arrest.  The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.

This week we review a recent editorial commentary by Drs. Belinda Gray, Rachel Lampert and Michael Papadakis on the concept of the personalized emergency action plan for the patient with genetic heart disease who is 'returning to play' in vigorous sports. With newer data demonstrating that risk for SCA or SCD is perhaps not as high as was once thought in this setting of sport, can the development of a personalized emergency action plan further enhance safety beyond simple measures such as medical adherence? Who should be involved in drafting this emergency action plan and how does this feature in the concept of 'shared decision-making'? DOI: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.124.072830

Send us a textThe quest for better outcomes in pediatric IBD has taken significant strides forward, and Dr. Jeremy Adler returns to Bowel Moments to guide us through the most promising research developments of the past year. Dr. Adler is a clinical Professor in the Division of Pediatric Gastroenterology at the University of Michigan and serves as the Interim Director of the Susan B. Meister Child Health Evaluation and Research (CHEAR) Center. We discuss how medication dosing strategies have evolved dramatically, with compelling evidence showing that body surface area measurements work better than traditional weight-based dosing for younger children. This seemingly simple adjustment yields dramatically better results, particularly as children grow and develop through puberty. Regular therapeutic drug monitoring—checking medication levels every 6-12 months or more frequently during growth spurts—has also proven critical for maintaining disease control in the pediatric population.Prevention emerges as the cornerstone of Dr. Adler's research and clinical philosophy. The fascinating GEM study has identified changes in gut permeability that occur before IBD diagnosis, potentially opening doors to early intervention before symptoms appear. Meanwhile, Dr. Adler's own groundbreaking research demonstrates that early, aggressive treatment with anti-TNF medications can prevent serious complications like perianal fistulas, fistulas, and abscesses—complications that significantly impact quality of life and body image.We navigate the complex terrain of treatment barriers, from insurance denials to psychological resistance to "stronger" medications. Dr. Adler challenges common misconceptions, noting that injectable or infusion medications often have better safety profiles than some oral options that patients perceive as "less intense." The conversation turns to normalizing surgical options like ostomies when needed, with Dr. Adler advocating for early introduction to surgical teams—not because surgery is imminent, but because establishing relationships reduces trauma if intervention becomes necessary.With new medication mechanisms emerging and genetic markers helping to personalize treatment approaches, the research landscape offers real hope for children with IBD. Join us for this candid, informative discussion about protecting children from the worst outcomes of IBD through early intervention, personalized treatment, and collaborative care models that address both physical and mental wellbeing.Links: Research article- Preventing Fistulas and Strictures Among Children with Crohn's DiseaseJournal Article referenced- National Perspectives of Barriers by Insurance and Pharmacy Benefits Managers in Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel DiseaseImproveCareNowLet's get social!!Follow us on Instagram!Follow us on Facebook!Follow us on Twitter!

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Kier "Junior" Spates. Co-Host of Steve Harvey Morning Show and founded Kier's Hope to provide underprivileged individuals who suffer from Sickle Cell Disease to ensure they receive the medical, physical, and emotional attention they deserve. Suffering from sickle cell disease in silence is not uncommon in the African-American Community as there is a lack of knowledge of the disease. So, he created the Kier's Hope Foundation. The annual Kier's Hope 5K Fun Run and Walk and Junior Claus is an opportunity for families and those with sickle cell disease to gather and learn more about new treatments, spread awareness, and increase community engagement. Sickle Cell Disease is misunderstood as being contagious, an automatic death sentence, and that people with SCD can't do what "normal" people do!  Kier is changing that narrative. #AMI #BEST #SHMS  #STRAW  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
