On this week’s episode, we’re continuing our Guidelines Series exploring the 2022 ESC/ERS Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of Pulmonary Hypertension. If you missed our first episode in the series, give it a listen to hear about the most recent recommendations regarding Pulmonary Hypertension definitions, screening, and diagnostics. Today, we’re talking about the next steps after diagnosis. Specifically, we’ll be discussing risk stratification, establishing treatment goals, and metrics for re-evaluation. We’ll additionally introduce the mainstays of pharmacologic therapy for Pulmonary Hypertension. Meet Our Co-Hosts Rupali Sood grew up in Las Vegas, Nevada and made her way over to Baltimore for medical school at Johns Hopkins. She then completed her internal medicine residency training at Massachusetts General Hospital before returning back to Johns Hopkins, where she is currently a pulmonary and critical care medicine fellow. Rupali’s interests include interstitial lung disease, particularly as related to oncologic drugs, and bedside medical education. Tom Di Vitantonio is originally from New Jersey and attended medical school at Rutgers, New Jersey Medical School in Newark. He then completed his internal medicine residency at Weill Cornell, where he also served as a chief resident. He currently is a pulmonary and critical care medicine fellow at Johns Hopkins, and he’s passionate about caring for critically ill patients, how we approach the management of pulmonary embolism, and also about medical education of trainees to help them be more confident and patient centered. Key Learning Points 1) Episode Roadmap How to set treatment goals, assess symptom burden, and risk-stratify patients with suspected/confirmed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). What tools to use to re-evaluate patients on treatment Intro to major PAH medication classes and how they map to pathways. 2) Case-based diagnostic reasoning Patient: 37-year-old woman with exertional dyspnea, mild edema, abnormal echo, telangiectasias + epistaxis → raises suspicion for HHT (hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia) and/or early connective tissue disease. Key reasoning move: start broad (Groups 2–5) and narrow using history/exam/testing. In a young patient without obvious left heart or lung disease, think more about Group 1 PAH (idiopathic/heritable/associated). HHT teaching point: HHT can cause PH in more than one way: More common: high-output PH from AVMs (often hepatic/pulmonary) Rare (1–2% mentioned): true PAH phenotype (vascular remodeling; associated with ALK1 in some patients), behaving like Group 1 PAH. 3) Functional class assessment WHO Functional Class: Class I: no symptoms with ordinary activity, only with exertion Class II: symptoms with ordinary activity Class III: symptoms with less-than-ordinary activity (can't do usual chores/shopping without dyspnea) Class IV: symptoms at rest Practical bedside tip they give: Ask if the patient can walk at their own pace or keep up with a similar-age peer/partner. If not, think Class II (or worse). 4) Risk stratification at diagnosis: why, how, and which tools Big principle: treatment choices are driven by risk, and the goal is to move patients to low-risk quickly. ESC/ERS approach at diagnosis (as described): Use a 3-strata model predicting 1-year mortality: Low: 20% ESC/ERS risk assessment variables (10 domains discussed): Clinical progression, signs of right heart failure, syncope WHO FC Biomarkers (NT-proBNP) Exercise capacity (6MWD) Hemodynamics Imaging (echo; sometimes cardiac MRI) CPET (peak VO₂; VE/VCO₂ slope) They note: even if you don't have everything, the calculator can still be useful with ≥3 variables. REVEAL 2.0: Builds on similar core variables but adds further patient context (demographics, renal function, BP, DLCO, etc.) Case result: both tools put her in intermediate risk (ESC/ERS ~1.6; REVEAL 2.0 score 8), underscoring that mild symptoms can still equal meaningful mortality risk. 5) Treatment goals and follow-up philosophy What they explicitly prioritize: Help patients feel better, live longer, and stay out of the hospital Use risk tools to communicate prognosis and to track improvement Reassess frequently (they mention ~every 3 months early on) until low risk is achieved “Time-to-low-risk” is an important treatment goal Also emphasized: The diagnosis is psychologically heavy; patients need clear counseling, reassurance about the plan, and connection to support groups. 6) Medication classes for the treatment of PAH Nitric oxide–cGMP pathway PDE5 inhibitors: sildenafil, tadalafil Soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator: riociguat Important safety point: don't combine PDE5 inhibitors with riociguat (risk of significant hypotension/hemodynamic effects) Endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) “-sentan” drugs: bosentan (less used due to side effects/interactions), ambrisentan, macitentan Teratogenicity emphasized Hepatotoxicity that requires LFT monitoring Can cause fluid retention and peripheral edema Prostacyclin pathway Prostacyclin analogs/agonists: Epoprostenol (potent; short half-life; IV administration) Treprostinil (IV/SubQ/oral/inhaled options) Selexipag (oral prostacyclin receptor agonist) 7) Sotatercept (post-guidelines) They note sotatercept wasn't in 2022 ESC/ERS but is now “a game changer” in practice: Mechanism: ligand trap affecting TGF-β signaling / remodeling biology Positioned as potentially more disease-modifying than pure vasodilators Still evolving: where to place it earlier vs later in regimens is an active question in the field 8) How risk category maps to initial treatment intensity General approach they outline: High risk at diagnosis: parenteral prostacyclin (IV/SubQ) strongly favored, often aggressive early Intermediate risk: at least dual oral therapy (typically PDE5i + ERA); escalate if not achieving low risk Low risk: at least one oral agent; many still use dual oral depending on etiology/trajectory For the case: intermediate-risk → start dual oral therapy (they mention tadalafil + ambrisentan as a typical choice), reassess in ~3 months; add a third agent (e.g., selexipag/prostacyclin pathway) if not low risk.

This week, we introduce a new episode for our myeloma series, this time focusing on risk stratification and response criteria. The initial workup and surveillance labs are expansive, but all of the studies we do have a purpose. Many present-day studies also use “minimal residual disease” (MRD) testing. What does this mean? How do we use this?We go through all of this and more in this incredibly high yield episode. Content:- How do we risk stratify patients with newly diagnosed MM? - What are the criteria used to risk stratify? Why does this matter?- How do we define response to treatment? Progression?- What is the role of "minimal residual disease" in myeloma? ** Want to review the show notes for this episode and others? Check out our website. Love what you hear?

Osteosarcoma Webinar Series: Amanda Marinoff, MD, a physician-scientist from UCSF will discuss clinical biomarkers for osteosarcoma stratification (cBOSS): Insights from a working group.Despite decades of research, osteosarcoma remains one of the few pediatric cancers without validated molecular biomarkers to guide treatment. The Clinical Biomarkers for Osteosarcoma Stratification (cBOSS) initiative is an international effort to change that. Modeled after a successful framework in Ewing sarcoma, cBOSS convened experts from North America and Europe to systematically evaluate emerging molecular features with the greatest potential for near-term clinical translation. Through a series of structured sessions, the group assessed the biological plausibility, clinical relevance, and implementation feasibility of candidate classifiers across five domains: genomic, transcriptomic, epigenetic, immune, and circulating analytes. This webinar will provide an overview of the cBOSS approach, key findings to date, including the maturity of circulating tumor DNA and MYC amplification as prognostic tools, and the path forward for incorporating molecular stratification into future clinical trials. The goal: to move beyond one-size-fits-all therapy and build a precision medicine framework for osteosarcoma.Dr. Amanda Marinoff is a pediatric oncologist and translational researcher at UCSF, where she focuses on developing molecular biomarkers to improve risk stratification and treatment for children and young adults with osteosarcoma. She co-leads the international cBOSS initiative (Clinical Biomarkers for Osteosarcoma Stratification), which brings together experts across North America and Europe to evaluate and prioritize emerging classifiers for clinical use. Her research aims to bridge the gap between genomic discovery and therapeutic application, advancing precision medicine approaches for patients with high-risk disease. Dr. Marinoff earned her medical degree from Harvard Medical School, completed her pediatrics residency at Boston Children's Hospital, and completed her pediatric hematology/oncology fellowship at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital. She is an active member of the pediatric solid tumor and early-phase clinical trials groups at UCSF.

In this episode of 1Dime Radio, I'm joined by Dave from Theory Underground to unpack the “Post-Class Fractured Mass” (PCFM): why the working class, the “proletariat” no longer coheres the way Marxists imagined, how media + schooling carve us into niches and swarms, and what this means for organizing today. We talk about why the decline of working-class power is due to real material factors in the economy, and not just due to ideology and “class consciousness.” This brings us to the pivotal question: in the age of the gig economy, is the working class obsolete as the agent of revolutionary change? If so, who is the revolutionary subject today? In the backroom, we discuss the issues with the term “Post-Left”, how people burn out from politics, and how bourgeois pseudoprogressive libertine attitudes bleed into leftist circles (like polyamory, non-monogamy, etc).

If you're a fan of fans, this is the podcast for you! In this short podcast episode, Bryan shares how installing ceiling fans can be a smart HVAC design strategy (even though he wasn't a fan of fans!). Ceiling fans break the "don't blow air on people" rule we usually refer to in duct design, but they can solve quite a few basic comfort problems, especially in homes with lower loads than we've historically seen. They're great for creating high-velocity airstreams and mixing air. Low-load homes have systems with lower tonnages; they don't move as much air and could use a little bit of help from a ceiling fan. Air mixing is also poor in homes that have a greater distance between the air and the ceiling. Stratification of the air causes comfort problems due to temperature differences, and hot or cold surfaces can also contribute to these issues for similar reasons. Moisture and eventual growth are also concerns when we allow rooms to have those temperature differences (especially on the ceiling, as water vapor is lighter than air). Ceiling fans disrupt the stratification of air and water vapor. They solve air mixing problems while they dispel odors and maintain more consistent dew points throughout the air. Modern fans with ECMs can also run at a low speed without taking a large energy efficiency hit. Ceiling fans are great and relatively inexpensive solutions that can solve comfort and IAQ problems in high-performance homes. Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

In this week's episode, we'll learn more about social determinants of health that impact access to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation in patients with acute myeloid leukemia, or AML; use of megakaryocyte growth factor receptor-based stem cell depletion as part of pretransplant conditioning in ex vivo autologous gene therapy; and identification of an eight-protein risk signature as well as a novel single protein biomarker, soluble oncostatin M receptor, for risk stratification in AML.Featured Articles:Social Determinants of Health and Access to Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Acute Myeloid LeukemiacMPL-Based Purification and Depletion of Human Hematopoietic Stem Cells: Implications for Pretransplant ConditioningBlood-Based Proteomic Profiling Identifies OSMR as a Novel Biomarker of AML Outcomes
Dan, Manny, & Billy invite friend & fan of the pod Meghan P. Nolan to put the 1985 action/adventure comedy The Goonies to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST! “I had this epiphany while I was watching it this time where I was like, ‘Holy shit! Like Goonies are just like a bunch of nerds, they're all just sitting around playing D&D, Mikey is the dungeon master, and this is their quest.” -Meghan P. Nolan Around 2 years ago, Meghan sent us a suggestion to put The Goonies to the ultimate test and because Dan is super lazy it took him this long to get her on the pod. This episode is off the rails from the start filled with classic Nostalgia Test drops and a live Zoom audience of one, (haha! it's a start) Courtney from the Fiction Fixation Podcast who added some hilarious ideas while Billy dealt with his North Carolina internet service. The gang talks about “Goonies” comes from their town name The Goon Docks, what did the parents of these kids do to get all their houses foreclosed on, why was Troy and his flunkies hanging around a wishing well, are the Fratellis really Italian, and who was resetting One Eyed Willie's booby traps in the 1600s. They also analyze all the amazing characters, unpack the stereotypes, plot holes, and put Cindy Lauper's song to a quick Nostalgia Test. Most importantly, they talk about the real heroes of this movie Rosalita and Sloth. This episode is what The Nostalgia Test is all about, laughter, hot takes, and a bunch of hypothetical scenarios for what a Goonies sequel or TV series might look like. This is a must-listen for any fan of 80s classics. Email us (thenostalgiatest@gmail.com) your thoughts, opinions, and questions about this episode or anything else nostalgic on your mind and we'll read it for next time on the pod!

How do you predict which intermediate-risk patients will suddenly deteriorate? What role do risk scores, biomarkers, imaging, and hemodynamics play in decision-making? Should these patients receive anticoagulation alone, or is thrombolysis warranted? When should you consider catheter-directed or surgical interventions? This podcast focuses us to think critically about risk stratification, early interventions and escalation in care in PE. We include an algorithm in the show notes. Not all patients fit neatly into classification boxes, making clinical judgment crucial. Join Dr. Lauren Westafer, Dr. Justin Morgenstern, Dr. Bourke Tillman and Anton as they explore the key decision points, pitfalls, and lifesaving strategies for managing intermediate-risk PE in the ED...

Every civilization is shaped by its ruling elite, but what happens when those planning your society cannot understand the average person? Authors Charles Murray and Christopher Lasch have both discussed the dangers of cognitive stratification and how it could destroy social fabric. We will be discussing how that problem recently manifested itself in the debate over immigration and employment.

In this podcast, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a groundbreaking study on using artificial intelligence (AI) in electrocardiograms (ECGs) to assess left ventricular diastolic function and predict outcomes in patients with significant mitral regurgitation. The study demonstrates that AI-driven ECGs can offer comparable prognostic value to traditional echocardiography, identifying high-risk patients and potentially revolutionizing cardiovascular diagnostics, though challenges around sensitivity, specificity, and patient selection remain.
On this episode of the Strip-Till Farmer podcast, brought to you by Yetter, University of Illinois soil scientist Andrew Margenot shares key takeaways from his long-term phosphorous (P) studies. Margenot's research group focuses on everything from NPK recommended rates, soil test values, removal rates and more. He's currently leading the charge on a project to analyze thousands of soil samples dating back to the late 1800s — the largest soil samples archive in the world.
Darrick Hamilton, director of the Institute for the Study of Race, Stratification, and Political Economy at the New School, gives a deep-dive analysis into the competing economic plans in this year's presidential election and an update on the state of our economy.
In this week's episode we'll learn about refining risk stratification in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or ALL. After that, we'll discuss a novel gene therapy approach in severe alpha-thalassemia. Investigators describe an innovative mouse model and an effective gene therapy approach, renewing prospects for the development of novel strategies to treat this disease. Finally, we'll hear about how genomic profiling has helped identify subgroups associated with distinct clinical phenotypes and outcomes in the molecular taxonomy of myelodysplastic syndromes, or MDS. Featured Articles NGS-based stratification refines the risk stratification in T-ALL and identifies a very-high-risk subgroup ofpatientsUse of HSC-targeted LNP to generate a mouse model of lethal α-thalassemia and treatment via lentiviralgene therapyMolecular taxonomy of myelodysplastic syndromes and its clinical implications
In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a groundbreaking study that evaluates the role of myocardial fibrosis in predicting sudden cardiac death and ventricular arrhythmias in patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. The findings suggest that assessing fibrosis through advanced imaging techniques offers a more accurate risk stratification than the traditional reliance on left ventricular ejection fraction, ultimately refining treatment approaches for at-risk patients.
