Aujourd'hui, je vais vous parler des batteries, car oui, on cherche toujours à améliorer ce composant qui est si important dans nos appareils électroniques, mais aussi, évidemment, de plus en plus dans nos voitures.Le plus souvent, les batteries qu'on utilise fonctionnent avec des matières premières rares, le lithium en tête. Elles présentent plusieurs avantages. Elles peuvent stocker beaucoup d'énergie, tenir le coup pendant longtemps, ne pas se décharger rapidement et se recharger à une vitesse raisonnable.Mais le lithium, ce n'est pas top au niveau environnemental – son extraction contribue à la pollution des sols, elles n'aiment pas trop les conditions extrêmes de température et d'humidité et puis il y a toujours un risque d'incendies et d'explosions, en cas de mauvaise utilisation.Est-ce qu'il y a mieux que le lithium ?Des alternatives commencent à voir le jour. Et une semble tenir la corde : à votre avis, quel ingrédient est en passe de remplacer le lithium dans les batteries du futur ?HoublonSelFricadelleSucreLes batteries à l'avenir pourraient troquer le lithium pour le sel. Le sel, une véritable mine d'or pour, notamment, nos voitures.Car, vu que du sodium, on en trouve quand même en quantité assez importante sur notre planète, cela pourrait réduire les coûts de fabrication. Interrogée par nos confrères de la RTBF, Nathalie Job, chercheuse à l'ULiège, estime une économie de 5 000 € sur une voiture électrique qui en coûte 40 000 €.Elles sont plus sûres – elles ne flambent pas et résistent mieux aux conditions météorologiques extrêmes. C'est un plus pour l'automobile, et les progrès dans ce domaine semblent aller très vite.Une poignée de voitures sont commercialisées actuellement avec ce nouveau type de batterie. Mais elle intéresse beaucoup, notamment la Chine et la Corée du Sud, qui semblent vouloir mettre le paquet pour faire en sorte qu'on ait le même niveau de performances par rapport aux batteries lithium. Tant pour son utilisation que pour la recharge.Une idée peut-être pour démocratiser à l'avenir les véhicules électriques et qui pourraient aussi profiter à d'autres appareils fonctionnant sur batterie.
Sodium, sodium, they showed from their podium!Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland add another grain to their pile of salt with this week's Salt And Horticulture Pt. 2 on The Growing Season. With the level of ice on walking and driving surfaces all across the GTA the trio felt it prudent to discuss salt tolerant plant materials. Jack discusses an upcoming surgery. He's a little nervous.Rising temperatures due to climate change causes our lake water to evaporate quicker, increasing the salt content in the soil.Sea Asparagus and Suaeda Maritime can live in places like Death Valley, one of the saltiest places on earth. Matt rants about boxwoods and that leads to a chat about how street trees react to an over salted growing environment. Salt Cedar leads to an episode of Strange But True. Purple Loosestrife and Hogweed join the chat. Correlations between wildfires in Los Angeles and Australia are drawn. How can Epsom salts diffuse salt exposure. HYDRANGEA, HYDRANGEA, HYDRANGEA!

Episode 212: Managing HFpEFHyo Mun and Jordan Redden (medical students) explain how to manage HFpEF with medications and touch some basics about nonpharmacologic treatments. Dr. Arreaza asks insightful questions to guide the discussion. Written by Hyo Mun, MSIV, American University of the Caribbean; and Jordan Redden, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Treatment of HFpEFArreaza: Mike, if you had to name the one therapy everyone with HFpEF should be on, what is it?Mike: That's easy! SGLT-2 inhibitors. This is the one slam-dunk we have in HFpEF. Empagliflozin (Jardiance) or dapagliflozin (Farxiga) should be started in essentially every patient with HFpEF, and it doesn't matter if they have diabetes or not.Jordan: And that's worth repeating, because people still think of these as “diabetes drugs.” They're not anymore. In HFpEF, SGLT-2 inhibitors reduce heart-failure hospitalizations, improve symptoms, improve quality of life, and even reduce cardiovascular death.Dr. Arreaza: They're also simple. Empagliflozin 10 mg daily or dapagliflozin 10 mg daily. No titration, no drama. The effectiveness of these meds was established around 2019 with DAPA-HF and later with DELIVER. These were trials thatdemonstrated that dapagliflozin reduces worsening heart failure and cardiovascular events across the full spectrum of heart failure, from reduced to preserved ejection fraction, independent of diabetes status.Mike: And the number needed to treat is about 28 to prevent one heart-failure hospitalization. That's excellent for a disease where we historically had almost nothing that worked.Jordan: They're also safe in chronic kidney disease down to an eGFR of about 25, which makes them even more useful in this population.Dr. Arreaza: Alright. We got SGLT-2 inhibitor, what's next?Mike: Volume management. Loop diuretics are still the backbone of symptom control in HFpEF. If the patient is volume overloaded, you diurese, and you diurese aggressively.Jordan: The goal is euvolemia. Dry weight, no edema, no orthopnea, no waking up gasping for air. A lot of these patients end up needing chronic oral loop diuretics to stay there.Dr. Arreaza: Something to remember: HFpEF patients don't tolerate congestion well, and being “a little wet” is not benign. Let's move into RAAS inhibition. Where do ARBs and ACE inhibitors fit in?Mike: Between ARBs and ACE inhibitors, ARBs are the winners in HFpEF. They actually reduce heart failure hospitalizations—drugs like candesartan, losartan, valsartan. ACE inhibitors? Not so much. They showed minimal benefit in older HFpEF patients, which is why we go with ARBs instead.Jordan: But a lot of clinicians get nervous about ACE inhibitors and ARBs because of kidney function, so it's worth talking through how these drugs actually work in the kidney.Dr. Arreaza: Yes, misunderstanding may lead to unnecessary drug discontinuation.Jordan: Under normal conditions, the afferent arteriole brings blood into the glomerulus, and the efferent arteriole is constricted by angiotensin II. That constriction keeps pressure high in the glomerulus and maintains filtration.Mike: Here's what happens with an ACE inhibitor: you block angiotensin II, the efferent arteriole relaxes, glomerular pressure drops, and GFR dips slightly. Creatinine bumps up a little, and that scares people, but that's actually the whole point—that's how you get kidney protection long-term.Jordan: High intraglomerular pressure causes hyperfiltration injury and scarring over time. Lowering that pressure protects the kidney long-term. The short-term GFR drop is the price you pay for long-term benefits.Dr. Arreaza: So let's talk about CKD, because this is where people panic.Mike: Right. ACE inhibitors and ARBs are not contraindicated in chronic kidney disease. In fact, they're recommended even in advanced stages. They reduce progression to kidney failure by about a third.Jordan: The key is how you use them. Start low. Check creatinine and potassium one to two weeks after starting, then periodically. A creatinine rise up to 30% from baseline is acceptable. That's not kidney injury, that's physiology.Dr. Arreaza: And what about potassium creeping up?Mike: You adjust the dose or add a potassium binder. You don't just automatically stop the drug.Dr. Arreaza: Now there is one absolute contraindication everyone needs to know about! (board exam test)Jordan: Bilateral renal artery stenosis. This is the big one. In these patients, the kidneys are completely dependent on angiotensin II–mediated efferent constriction to maintain GFR. Take that away, and GFR collapses.Mike: Creatinine can jump dramatically within days. If you see a creatinine rise of 20% or more shortly after starting an ACE inhibitor, you should be thinking about bilateral renal artery stenosis and stopping the drug immediately.Dr. Arreaza: After revascularization, though, many patients can tolerate ACE inhibitors again, so this isn't always permanent. What about cardiorenal syndrome? That's where things get uncomfortable.Mike: It is uncomfortable, but cardiorenal syndrome isn't a contraindication. These patients have severe heart failure and kidney disease, and their mortality is actually higher than patients with heart failure alone.Jordan: ACE inhibitors still reduce mortality and slow kidney disease progression in this group. Studies show that stopping ACE inhibitors during acute heart-failure admissions increases in-hospital mortality three- to four-fold.Dr. Arreaza: So we are cautious, but we don't avoid it.Mike: Exactly. Start low, titrate slowly, monitor labs closely, accept up to a 30% creatinine rise. You only stop if kidney function keeps worsening, or potassium gets dangerously high.Dr. Arreaza: Alright. Let's move on. What about mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists… MRA?Jordan: Spironolactone or eplerenone might reduce hospitalizations in HFpEF, but the data is mixed. This is more of a “select patients” situation.Mike: And you have to watch potassium and kidney function carefully, especially if they're already on an ACE inhibitor or ARB.Dr. Arreaza: What about sacubitril-valsartan, also known as Entresto®?Mike: Entresto may help patients with mildly reduced EF roughly in the 45 to 57% range. It's not first-line for HFpEF, but in select patients, it's reasonable.Dr. Arreaza: Now let's clarify one of the biggest sources of confusion: beta blockers.Jordan: Beta blockers are not a treatment for HFpEF itself. They're only indicated if the patient has another reason to be on them, like coronary disease or atrial fibrillation.Mike: And timing really matters here. You absolutely do not start beta blockers during acute decompensated heart failure. Their negative inotropic effects can make things worse when patients are volume overloaded.Jordan: But, and this is critical, you also don't stop them if the patient is already taking one. Abrupt withdrawal causes a sympathetic surge and dramatically increases mortality.Dr. Arreaza: If a patient is admitted on a beta blocker, what do we do?Mike: Continue it at the same dose or reduce it slightly if they're really unstable. Once they're euvolemic and stable, you can carefully titrate up.Jordan: And watch for chronotropic incompetence. HFpEF patients often rely on heart-rate response to exercise, and beta blockers can worsen exercise intolerance.Dr. Arreaza: Beyond medications, HFpEF is really about treating comorbidities. Aerobic activity can be an initial strategy to improve exercise intolerance and has evidence of improving aerobic function and quality of life. Sodium restriction: improves symptoms, does not decrease risk of death or hospitalizations.Mike: Hypertension control is huge. For diabetes, the SGLT-2 inhibitors will perform double duty. For obesity, weight loss improves symptoms, and GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide are absolute gamechangers.Jordan: Don't forget sleep apnea, atrial fibrillation, and lifestyle. Exercise improves the quality of life, even if it doesn't change hard outcomes. Lifestyle is the main treatment. Dr. Arreaza: And when should you refer to cardiology?Mike: You should refer when the diagnosis isn't clear; symptoms are not responding to treatment, difficult volume management, end-organ dysfunction, or if you are concerned about advanced heart failure.Dr. Arreaza: So, it has been a great discussion. What is the takeaway?Mike: HFpEF treatment isn't about one magic drug -- it's about volume control, SGLT2 inhibitors, smart use of RAAS blockade, and aggressive management of comorbidities.Jordan: And it's understanding the physiology, so you don't withhold life-saving therapies out of fear.Dr. Arreaza: Well said. If you found this helpful, share it with a friend or colleague and rate us wherever you listen. This is Dr. Arreaza, signing off.Jordan/Mike: Thanks!

In an era marked by an increasing reliance on technology and a growing awareness of environmental sustainability, portable power stations have emerged as a revolutionary solution for energy storage and distribution. These devices, often likened to oversized power banks, have transformed how we think about electricity access, particularly in off-grid scenarios and during power outages. Illia Zahnitko, the Brand Planning Manager from BLUETTI, a pioneer in the portable power station industry, sheds light on the innovative technologies that have propelled these products to the forefront of modern energy solutions.The Evolution of Battery TechnologyAt the heart of portable power stations is the evolution of battery technology. Zahnitko highlights two primary types of batteries used in these devices: lithium-ion and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4). Historically, lithium-ion batteries were the standard choice for portable power stations due to their widespread availability and established performance. However, advancements in battery chemistry have led to the development of lithium iron phosphate batteries, which offer significant advantages in terms of lifespan, safety, and environmental impact.Lithium iron phosphate batteries can endure up to 4,000 charge cycles while retaining 80% of their capacity, making them a more durable option for consumers. This longevity translates to a longer lifespan for the portable power stations themselves, reducing the frequency of replacements and the associated environmental footprint. Moreover, the mining process for lithium iron phosphate is considered to be more eco-friendly than that of traditional lithium-ion batteries, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable technology.The Introduction of Sodium Ion TechnologyZahnitko also introduces sodium ion technology as a groundbreaking development in the portable power station sector. Sodium ion batteries offer a unique advantage: they can operate effectively in extreme temperatures, functioning down to -13°F (-25°C). This capability is crucial for users in colder climates who require reliable energy sources, as traditional lithium iron phosphate batteries cease to function below freezing. By expanding the operational range of portable power stations, sodium ion technology enhances their versatility and usability across various environments.Practical Applications and User BenefitsThe practical applications of portable power stations are vast. With capacities ranging from small units, such as the 128 watt-hour model showcased, to larger systems capable of storing up to 5 kilowatt-hours, these devices can cater to a wide array of needs. For instance, users can charge essential devices like cell phones and laptops during power outages, ensuring connectivity and access to information-a critical consideration in today's digital age.Zahnitko emphasizes the simplicity and transparency of the power storage calculations, allowing users to easily understand how long they can run devices based on the power station's capacity. For example, a 12-watt device can run for approximately 12.8 hours on a 128 watt-hour power station. This straightforward approach demystifies energy consumption and empowers consumers to make informed decisions about their energy needs.The Future of Portable Power StationsAs the demand for portable power solutions continues to grow, manufacturers like BLUETTI are at the forefront of innovation, constantly refining their products to meet consumer needs. The integration of solar charging capabilities further enhances the appeal of portable power stations, as users can harness renewable energy sources without the need for extensive rooftop installations. Instead, small, portable solar panels can be utilized, making the technology accessible to a broader audience.ConclusionIn conclusion, portable power stations from BLUETTI represent a pioneering technology in energy storage, combining advancements in battery chemistry with practical applications for everyday users. As demonstrated, the shift from lithium-ion to lithium iron phosphate and sodium ion technologies signifies a commitment to sustainability, safety, and user-friendliness. With their ability to provide reliable power in a variety of situations, portable power stations are not just a convenience; they are a vital tool for navigating the challenges of modern life. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect further innovations in this space, making portable power stations an essential component of our energy landscape.Interview by Marlo Anderson of The Tech Ranch.Sponsored by: Get $5 to protect your credit card information online with Privacy.

In this conversation, Jeff Sarris and Jill Harris discuss the relationship between diet, specifically bread consumption, and kidney stones. They explore common concerns about oxalate levels in bread, the importance of sodium intake, and how to enjoy bread while managing kidney stone risk. Jill emphasizes the significance of portion control and encourages listeners to focus on nutritional balance rather than eliminating foods entirely.TakeawaysBread can be enjoyed even with kidney stones.Sodium content in bread is more concerning than oxalate.Portion control is key when consuming bread.Look for added sugars and sodium in bread labels.You can have a sandwich as long as you manage sodium intake.Eating well should leave you feeling full and satisfied.Different diets can still prevent kidney stones if managed properly.Homemade bread can be a healthier option.Focus on protein and fiber in your meals.Meal plans can help guide dietary choices for kidney stone prevention.00:00 The Bread Dilemma: Is It Safe for Kidney Stones?08:58 Navigating Sodium and Sugar in Bread Choices——HAVE A QUESTION? _Leave us a voicemail at (773) 789-8764.KIDNEY STONE DIET® APPROVED PRODUCTSProtein Powders, Snacks, and moreWORK WITH JILL _Start HereKidney Stone Diet® All-Access PassKidney Stone Diet® CourseKidney Stone Diet® Meal PlansKidney Stone Diet® BooksPrivate Consultation with JillOne-on-One Deep Dive24-Hour Urine AnalysisSUPPORT THE SHOW _Join the PatreonRate Kidney Stone Diet on Apple Podcasts or Spotify——WHO IS JILL HARRIS? _Since 1998, Jill Harris has been the #1 kidney stone prevention nurse helping patients reduce their kidney stone risk.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.” Matthew 5:13Sodium chloride, also known as salt, is one of the most commonly used substances in the world, used for seasoning, preserving, and purifying. Sodium chloride is a very stable compound and cannot lose its flavor unless there is a chemical reaction or dissolution. Why, then, did Jesus suggest that salt could lose its taste? One likely explanation is that the salt used in ancient Palestine could indeed lose its flavor due to impurities and the conditions in which it was stored.The Dead Sea, located in modern-day southeast Israel, contains a massive deposit of salt and other minerals. According to biblical history, Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt in this region. Because of the vast salt and mineral deposits, the area surrounding the Dead Sea is desolate.Salt extracted from the Dead Sea was never pure sodium chloride. Gypsum and other minerals were also present, making the salt impure. If this salt were stored improperly or came into contact with water, the sodium chloride could dissolve and wash away, leaving behind the solid residue of minerals. These residual substances, like gypsum, had the appearance of salt but were tasteless and useless for flavoring, preserving, and purifying purposes. When this happened, the “salt” lost its taste. In light of this explanation, Jesus' teaching becomes especially clear.The first notable feature of salt is its ability to add flavor to food. By calling His disciples the “salt of the earth,” Jesus was instructing them to enhance the “flavor” of the world by bringing the truth of the Gospel and the joy of His message to others. A Christian life lived in fidelity to Christ would make the world a better and more virtuous place, just as salt enhances the flavor of food.Salt is also commonly used for preservation. Before the age of refrigerators and freezers, salt was mixed with food to prevent corruption, by drawing out moisture and hindering bacteria and other microorganisms. Though this practice is still used today, it was especially vital in ancient times. By being the “salt of the earth,” Jesus was calling His disciples to preserve the world from moral decay. Through their witness and proclamation of the Gospel, they were to act as a preservative against sin and spiritual ruin. If they were to “lose their taste,” they would become indistinguishable from the rest of the world and ineffective in their mission. Hence, Jesus was exhorting them—and us—to avoid becoming watered down and bland in our witness to the Gospel.Lastly, salt held a significant role in Jewish religious practices, symbolizing purity and consecration. In sacrificial rituals, salt was used to consecrate offerings, as commanded in Leviticus: “You shall season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not let the salt of the covenant with your God be lacking from your grain offering. On every offering you shall offer salt” (Leviticus 2:13). By seasoning their offerings with salt, the Israelites preserved the sacrifices from decay, making them pure. This practice reflects the disciples' role in purifying the world through their example of holiness, their lives of self-sacrifice, and their participation in Christ's redemptive work. They were to live lives of integrity, leading others to God through the purity of their hearts and their unwavering commitment to His will.Reflect today on this powerful metaphor of being the salt of the earth. The world desperately needs the enriching “flavor” of God's grace. Without Him, the world is left to corruption and decay. With God, we, and those we serve, are preserved as pure and holy offerings, adding to His glory and growing in holiness. Be the salt of the earth. Do not become watered down in your faith. Remain steadfast in your fidelity to Christ and His Gospel, and you will transform the world around you. In doing so, you will not only glorify God but will also share in His eternal joy. wqw2232Most pure and enriching Lord, You alone enrich and enhance our lives, preserve us from sin, and make us a pure offering to Your Father. Please use me to be an instrument of Your grace to the world, making me the “salt” that remains pure and effective, to bring Your saving truth to the ends of the earth.

Today’s episode of Ask the Doctor was hosted by Dr. Michael Lange and Dr. Susan Summerton. Ask the Doctor is the longest-running live, syndicated medical talk show in the United States, broadcasting coast-to-coast for over 33 years. We opened the show discussing the massive global whey protein shortage. Whey protein is extremely difficult to obtain worldwide due to increased demand from patients using GLP-1 receptor drugs, who are being advised to consume higher protein intake to prevent muscle loss. In addition, major corporations such as Starbucks and Dunkin’ have purchased large quantities of whey protein for functional and sports drinks. Because of this shortage, Fortifeye Fit Pro is currently on backorder, though other Fortifeye whey protein products remain available, and we are actively working to secure supply. We then discussed black currant seed oil and GLA (gamma-linolenic acid) and why GLA may be a missing fatty acid in the modern diet. Fortifeye now offers Black Currant Seed Oil + GLA in a 90-count bottle. GLA helps support dry eye by stimulating Series-1 prostaglandins, which play an important role in controlling inflammation. Dr. Lange reviewed his clinical experience using Fortifeye Advanced Dry Eye Therapy, which combines: • Fortifeye Super Omega (RTG-form omega-3) • Fortifeye Focus • Fortifeye Black Currant Seed Oil + GLA This three-supplement combination has been very effective in helping reduce dry eye symptoms and improve overall ocular comfort. We also discussed the end of the BOGO on Fortifeye Vegan Super Protein. While the BOGO promotion has ended, this remains one of the top vegan proteins on the market, offering an amino acid profile comparable to whey protein, outstanding taste, and three delicious flavors. In addition, we covered exciting new research on carotenoids including lutein, zeaxanthin, and astaxanthin. These nutrients may help lower triglycerides and cholesterol, support brain health and mood, and may even help with depression. These carotenoids are beneficial for children and adults, supporting not only eye health but systemic and cognitive health as well. All three carotenoids are found together in Fortifeye Focus. We explained what photobiomodulation therapy (PBM) is and how it works. PBM uses specific wavelengths of low-level red and near-infrared light to stimulate mitochondrial function, increase cellular energy (ATP), improve circulation, and reduce inflammation. As more companies bring this technology to market, increased competition is expected to drive costs down, making this promising therapy more accessible to patients. Dr. Lange and Dr. Summerton shared their enthusiasm for photobiomodulation therapy as a supportive treatment option for macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and dry eye disease. Dr. Kane has noted that when diet and supplementation are optimized, this technology may work even more effectively, reinforcing the importance of combining advanced technology with proper nutrition. Dr. Summerton also weighed in on chelation therapy, explaining how reducing toxic metal burden and oxidative stress may further support cellular health, circulation, and inflammation control. When used appropriately and combined with nutrition and lifestyle optimization, chelation therapy may enhance overall systemic and ocular health. An important discussion followed on the often-overlooked connection between dry eye disease and atrial fibrillation (AFib). Dr. Lange explained that many patients with both conditions commonly share deficiencies in: • Magnesium • Potassium • Sodium chloride • Omega-3 fatty acids • Hydration These deficiencies may contribute to inflammation, nerve dysfunction, poor tear quality, impaired circulation, and cardiac rhythm instability.

"Radioimmunoconjugates work through a dual mechanism that combines immunologic targeting with localized radiation delivery. The monoclonal antibody components bind to specific tumor-associated antigens such as CD20, expressed on malignant B cells. Once found, the attached radioisotope delivers beta radiation directly to the tumor, causing DNA damage and cell death," Sabrina Enoch, MSN, RN, OCN®, CNMT, NMTCB (CT), theranostics clinical specialist at Highlands Oncology in Rogers, AR, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about radioimmunoconjugates.

Highlights From This Episode "Radioimmunoconjugates are a specialized subset of radiopharmaceuticals designed to combine the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the cytotoxic power of radiation. ... Early development focused on B-cell malignancies, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma." TS 1:51 "An important concept for nurses to understand is the crossfire effect, where radiation can affect nearby tumor cells, even though not every cell expressed has the target antigen. This helps explain why these agents can be effective even in heterogeneous tumors." TS 3:40 "At present, 90 Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan is the only radioimmunoconjugate approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in clinical use. Historically, iodine-131 tositumomab played a major role in establishing these therapy classes, but it's also useful to contrast radioimmunoconjugates with other radiopharmaceuticals, such as iodine-131 therapies, which a lot of places do at this time, used for thyroid diseases, or radium 223, used for metastatic prostate cancer. Unlike those agents, radioimmunoconjugates rely on antibody-mediated targeted rather than physiologic uptake or bone affinity." TS 4:55 "I just try to explain to [patients] that radiation exposure is like being next to a flame. The further you are away, the less heat you get, the less exposure you get. These patients can be radioactive for three days, seven days—it just depends on how fast they excrete it through their bodies with half-life exposure." TS 9:33 "While only one agent is currently approved, the principles established by radioimmunoconjugates continue to guide development for newer targeted radiopharmaceuticals. Emerging agents aim to improve targeting, reduce toxicity, and expand indications beyond hematologic malignancies. This evolution underscores the importance of nursing education in this rapidly changing field." TS 10:41 "Radioimmunoconjugates represent an important bridge between traditional oncology treatments and the future of targeted therapies. Oncology nurses play a vital role in ensuring safe delivery, patient understanding, and collaboration between multidisciplinary teams. So, it's very important to educate and also stay up to date on evidence-based practices." TS 13:12

Send us a textWant to know how an elite mountain runner designs the very supplements he trusts on race day? We sit down with Momentous VP of Innovation, Matt Chorney, to connect the dots between steep trail performance, clean ingredient sourcing, and the certifications that actually protect athletes. Matt's story stretches from New Hampshire's rugged roots to Jackson's endless access, and he brings that same blend of grit and curiosity to building products that stand up in pro and collegiate locker rooms.We dig into the difference between “third-party tested” and true third-party certification, and why NSF Certified for Sport or Informed Sport should be non-negotiable if you care about your career—or simply your health. Matt outlines the Momentous three—protein, creatine, and omegas—as everyday pillars backed by research, then walks us through a smarter path to better sleep using apigenin, magnesium L-threonate, and L-theanine. No knockout melatonin bombs here, just targeted support for falling asleep, staying asleep, and getting deeper recovery.Then we switch gears to racing and real-world tools. Sodium bicarbonate is hot, but the GI tradeoffs are real; Matt explains how a topical option like PR lotion can buffer acidosis without wrecking your gut. We also get into training philosophy and longevity: choosing joy over pressure, skipping a marathon when the spark isn't there, and using mountain days to build sustainable fitness. With Broken Arrow on the horizon and classic adventure routes on deck, Matt shows how science can fuel the soul of the sport.Trail running is having a moment—bigger prize purses, crossover stars, and growing visibility—so protecting the culture while raising performance matters more than ever. If you care about clean fueling, smarter sleep, and steep trail stoke, this conversation delivers.

The Nutrition Facts Panel contains more than calories and macronutrients. In this episode, the focus shifts to micronutrients, percent Daily Values, and how to use this information without confusion or overwhelm. This second episode in a two-part series explains why certain vitamins and minerals appear on the label, what nutrients of concern really mean, how sodium, potassium, calcium, iron, and vitamin D fit into daily intake, and how to interpret percent Daily Value in a practical way. You will learn why the label uses a 2,000-calorie reference, what 5 percent and 20 percent Daily Value actually tell you, why some nutrients have no %DV at all, and how to use the label as a comparison tool rather than a scorecard. If the Nutrition Facts Panel has ever felt unclear or misleading, this episode helps put the numbers in context so they support better overall patterns rather than creating stress.

SummaryIn this episode, Chase and Chris dive into your top questions from the week — and the answers might surprise you. They talk about what really happens when you're under-eating for days, whether it's possible to build muscle and lose fat at the same time, and if eating things like pickles is really “too much sodium.”They also cover how much muscle actually increases strength (hint: it's not as simple as it sounds) and who really needs to work out twice a day. If you've ever felt confused by mixed messages in the fitness world, this Q&A episode will clear things up in a real, no-BS way.Chapters(00:00) GLP-1 Buzzwords and BS Marketing Tactics(08:26) What Happens If You Undereat for Days?(11:10) Can You Burn Fat and Build Muscle at the Same Time?(16:33) Are Pickles Bad for You?

In this episode of the FOAMfrat Podcast, Dr. Harrison Brookeman joins the discussion to examine methemoglobinemia and the emerging prehospital threat of sodium nitrite ingestion. Often viewed as a rare toxicology concept, this condition is appearing more frequently and can progress rapidly with devastating consequences if it is not recognized early. The episode focuses on what matters most to EMS clinicians in the field: the physiology of methemoglobinemia, why these patients appear profoundly hypoxic despite adequate ventilation, and the classic clue: a pulse oximetry reading that remains fixed around 85 percent regardless of oxygen delivery. The conversation also addresses iatrogenic causes such as benzocaine exposure, expected mental status changes, and why oxygen alone does not correct the problem. Emphasis is placed on prehospital decision-making, including early involvement with poison control, transport destination considerations, and the importance of ensuring these patients are taken to the right facility the first time. This episode is intended to sharpen recognition, improve pattern awareness, and prepare providers for a call that does not follow typical respiratory failure patterns.
In Part 1 of this 3-part series, New York Times bestselling fitness author and celebrity trainer Jorge Cruise reveals why “physical hunger” is often not real hunger at all.Most people blame willpower. Or they assume the only answer is a GLP-1 drug. But the truth is simpler — and more fixable: mineral deficiency.When your body runs low on key minerals, hunger signals get dysregulated. That can trigger constant cravings, “snack attacks,” and overeating — even when you've had enough food.In this episode, Jorge explains the 3 minerals tied to hunger regulation:• Sodium (salt)• Magnesium• PotassiumThis is all leading to a FREE 90-minute live Zoom event where Jorge will teach his approach, including “Zero Hunger Water,” and how to shut down physical hunger naturally.https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83964851796?pwd=h6aVopb3X3cdy3b0j60nmwbADGarC7.1COMING NEXT• Part 2 (Saturday): Emotional Hunger • Part 3 (Sunday): Restore Lean Muscle FREE LIVE EVENT (SIGN UP)Monday, December 8th — 5:00 PM Pacific (Live on Zoom)To get the invite and all details, join the email list here:https://www.jorgecruise.com/p/welcome-to-the-revolutionWEBSITE JorgeCruise.com FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/jorgecruisecoachingHandle: @jorgecruisecoachingSHARE THIS EPISODEIf someone you love struggles with cravings, overeating, belly fat, or “always being hungry,” send them this.

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dr. Van Wyk discusses the latest updates in traumatic brain injury (TBI) management, focusing on insights from the CRASH-3 trial, the use of TXA, hypertonic saline, and sodium bicarbonate. He emphasizes the importance of monitoring intracranial pressure and the potential for surgical interventions in austere environments. The conversation also touches on the controversial topic of seizure prophylaxis and end-of-life considerations in TBI care.TakeawaysDr. Van Wyk is a neurologist with extensive experience in TBI management.The CRASH-3 trial provides insights into TXA's effectiveness in TBI patients.Moderate TBI patients may benefit more from TXA than severe cases.Dosing protocols for TXA are still under discussion, with traditional methods being preferred.Hypertonic saline is recommended for TBI management, but higher concentrations may be beneficial.Sodium bicarbonate can be an effective alternative for managing ICP.Prophylactic use of hypertonic saline is debated but may be reasonable in certain cases.Seizure prophylaxis is not universally recommended but can prevent complications in TBI patients.Monitoring ICP through optic nerve sheath diameter is evolving, with trends being more useful than absolute values.Surgical interventions for TBI may be necessary in austere environments, but should be approached with caution.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Traumatic Brain Injury Management02:00 Insights from the CRASH-3 Trial06:43 Dosing Protocols for TXA in TBI11:28 Hypertonic Saline: Concentration and Administration17:21 Alternative Treatments for Increased ICP22:58 Prophylactic Sodium Management in TBI25:17 Seizure Prophylaxis in Traumatic Brain Injury30:04 Monitoring Intracranial Pressure Non-Invasively35:17 Surgical Interventions for Elevated ICP42:10 End-of-Life Decisions in Severe TBIFor more content, go to www.prolongedfieldcare.orgConsider supporting us: patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective or www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care

You will learn about the five macro minerals as the big players that run your electrical system, stress response, thyroid, blood sugar, and detox pathways, and why I always start with a straightforward hair test before worrying about smaller numbers.What is really happening when these core minerals drift out of balance and you feel fatigued, anxious, constipated, bloated, unable to sleep well, or emotionally numb while your blood work keeps looking normal? Chronic stress, mold, gut and absorption issues, restrictive eating, big hormonal transitions, and even over filtered water can quietly drain these minerals long before anything shows up clearly on your standard labs.
