Podcasts about Stroke

Stroke (CVA) is very common in women, who have a higher risk than men over their lifetime; one in five women between the ages of 55 and 75 will experience a stroke. Stroke is a significant concern for women's health, being the third leading cause of death and causing more deaths than breast cancer. While systematic estrogen containing menopausal HT has been considered contraindicated in those with prior CVA history, is local/vaginal E2 therapy safe? A new population-based study gives us some insights. Listen in for details.1.

Older adults who consumed between 1.2 and 1.6 milligrams of copper daily scored higher on memory and processing speed tests, with stroke survivors benefiting the most Higher copper levels in specific brain regions were linked to slower cognitive decline and fewer Alzheimer's-related changes A high-fat diet combined with high copper intake more than doubled the rate of memory loss, especially in language and verbal recall skills Copper regulates enzymes that protect brain cells from oxidative stress and helps shift brain immune cells into a healing state after injury Whole foods like grass fed beef liver, bee pollen, and shiitake mushrooms support copper balance, while strategic supplementation with copper bisglycinate helps restore levels in those with deficiency

This week Gary, Kate, Henry and Mark discuss 4 important new studies that are potential POEMs: A new(ish) rescue therapy for asthma, IV thrombolytics for adults with acute minor stroke, whether exercise reduces cancer mortality, and digitoxin (with a t!) as add-on therapy for adults with heart failure.

En este episodio exploramos a fondo el mutismo acinético, una de las manifestaciones más desconcertantes tras un daño cerebral grave. Hablamos de su base neurofisiológica, su relación con el sistema dopaminérgico y los circuitos prefronto-subcorticales, y cómo se diferencia clínicamente de otros estados de conciencia alterada. Recorremos también las opciones terapéuticas más prometedoras, desde la estimulación multisensorial y la verticalización robótica hasta técnicas de neuromodulación como la estimulación cerebral profunda, la estimulación medular o la tDCS. Un episodio técnico, narrativo y lleno de preguntas clínicas clave, pensado para quienes trabajan día a día con pacientes que aún no responden... pero que podrían hacerlo.

A Wellington company's portable stroke detection device could not only improve patient outcomes but save billions of dollars globally.

In this episode Steven Zeiler, MD, PhD joins to discuss the promise of psychedelics for stroke healing. Dr. Zeiler is an associate professor and physician at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine specializing in cerebrovascular disease, including acute stroke therapy, prevention, and recovery. He is a lead investigator for a Rose Hill Life Sciences research trial, conducted in partnership with Johns Hopkins University, exploring the use of psilocybin-assisted therapy to enhance motor function in patients with neurological injuries. In this conversation, Dr. Zeiler explains that after a stroke, there is a natural but time-limited critical period during which the brain is highly plastic and capable of repairing motor function. His research, inspired by work on psychedelics reopening critical learning windows, shows in animal models that a single high dose of psychedelics combined with intensive rehabilitation can restore lost motor abilities even after recovery has plateaued. Throughout, Dr. Zeiler emphasizes that psilocybin itself doesn't heal the brain directly but creates a window of heightened neuroplasticity that, when paired with targeted therapy, may dramatically improve recovery outcomes for stroke survivors.   In this episode, you'll hear: What happens to patients during a stroke The critical period of stroke recovery and how psychedelics may reopen this opportunity Why conducting a safety and tolerability study of psilocybin for stroke patients is crucial What forms of deficits and recoveries Dr. Zeiler's study will measure  Dr. Zeiler's speculations on what integrating psychedelic treatments into stroke medicine could look like The importance of specialized interventions that take advantage of the critical recovery period   Quotes: “What has been a little forgotten about in a lot of stroke management situations is helping the person get over the deficits with which the stroke has left them. And if you can't move an arm, you can't move a leg, that's a big deal. And we are not quite as good at addressing some of those problems.” [5:11]  “[The potential of psychedelics for stroke recovery] is probably less about addressing the injury itself and more about helping the remaining parts of the brain turn on to address what's lost.” [7:36] “We're not suggesting that the psychedelic itself has some sort of magical property that would just repair the brain, but it primes the situation to allow that input that we then provide over the next many days, many weeks, to affect a recovery.” [13:31] “Imagine something as complicated as the brain going through a repair mechanism: could you imagine one molecule acting on one receptor being able to affect a recovery? I couldn't imagine that—it's too complicated a thing. And so having something like a mechanism of action that is acting through multiple pathways, I think has to be the case if we're going to affect something as complicated as brain repair.” [17:30]   Links: Dr. Zeiler on LinkedIn Super Room for Enriched Neurological Repair at Green Spring (SENRG) PHATHOM (Psychedelic Healing: Adjunct Therapy Harnessing Opened Malleability)-Stroke Project Psychedelic Medicine Association Porangui

So many people want a long term care plan with all the bells and whistles.  They want a plan that will pay for everything that could ever happen.  These plans are often priced higher than a budget allows. Why do people state that they want no coverage if they can't get the best plan out there? We don't do this anywhere but with LTC insurance. Do we not own a car because we can't afford a Tesla? No. Do we not eat because we can't afford the steak? No. When I work wit you, we work together to determine how much risk is both acceptable and affordable. There are plans offered to people on a stricter budget.  There are plans that accept medical concerns that other plans don't accept.  There are plans offered to age 89 in some states. Listen and then scheudle some time to work through this together

Oscar Trimboli, renowned listening expert and author, returns with transformative insights from his unique journey of coding listening behaviors into software. Inspired by personal experiences with his father's stroke recovery and extensive research within organizational teams, Oscar reveals how technology and conscious facilitation can dramatically improve listening dynamics, reduce meeting time, and foster authentic participation. In this episode of the listening SUPERPOWER podcast with host Raquel Ark and discover how simple shifts—like asking shorter, clarifying questions and enabling everyone's voice to be heard—can overhaul team communication and unlock untapped commercial and human potential. Learn why “the hardest listening role is the speaker,” how pre-meeting listening can boost confidence, and how vivid metaphors can make your message unforgettable. Whether you lead meetings, manage teams, or want to deepen your listening practice, Oscar provides practical tools and data-driven strategies to elevate your communication for lasting impact.  On taking action: "The difference between hearing and listening is action." -- Oscar Trimboli   SUPERPOWER Notes: 02:00 — Stroke recovery communication breakthrough—Oscar's father's stroke taught him “you can communicate very effectively with somebody who can't speak” using hand squeezes and positioning techniques that forced medical staff to engage the patient directly 04:42 — Taking responsibility through direct engagement: Moving close to his father's face so medical professionals had to “look at him when they ask a question” helped his father “take responsibility for his recovery” 08:30 – From Microsoft vision to reality: Fifteen years after his boss said “if you could code how you listen, you could change the world,” Oscar now uses AI to analyze meeting dynamics and participation patterns 12:15 –The 80% share of voice problem: Data revealed few participants dominated 80% of speaking time until a different facilitator in week six dramatically increased participation and meeting effectiveness 18:20 – Halving meeting time through inclusion: Better facilitation that included everyone reduced meetings from “90 minutes weekly” to “45 minutes fortnightly” because “people feel heard and get buy-in” 22:45 – Eight words or less rule: Questions of “eight words or less had higher impact” and create “collective understanding” rather than individual comprehension 25:30 –The three-question test: Before asking: “write it down, count words, then ask: is this for me, them, or the group?” Group questions have highest impact 28:15 – Clarifying questions transform meetings:Only “one or two participants” ask clarifying questions consistently, but their presence helps “questions get better and meetings get shorter” 35:45 – Listen before the meeting: Contact executive assistants beforehand to understand question patterns and presentation preferences for high-stakes meetings 42:20 – Metaphors beat numbers:Use compelling metaphors like “budget as jazz band” because “they remember the metaphor before the numbers” 50:30 – The quiet CFO's transformation: A shy CFO's single word “snake” (about shedding old systems) helped transform company growth from 32% to 170% when leadership finally listened Key Takeaways: On the universal listening gap: "We are not good listeners just because we need to be." -- Oscar Trimboli On the speaker's challenge: "The hardest listening role is the person currently speaking." -- Oscar Trimboli On meeting effectiveness: "If you want fewer meetings and shorter ones, when you do have them, focus on inclusive facilitation that ensures everyone is heard.” -- Oscar Trimboli On organizational potential: "My question to you listening is who are you ignoring in your organization that is holding you back from massive untapped potential commercially and human potential as well?" -- Oscar Trimboli On taking action: "The difference between hearing and listening is action." -- Oscar Trimboli Notes/Mentions: Listening Quiz: listeningquiz.com - Discover what gets in your way of listening effectively (35,000+ people have taken it) Tools mentioned: TalkTime and EqualTime (meeting analytics add-ons) Google Meets, Zoom, Microsoft Teams listening add-ons Equal Time (Munich-based company for gender and participation analytics) Books referenced: "What Doctors Say and What Patients Hear" by Dr. Danielle Offrey Oscar's third book on listening (influenced by his father's stroke experience) Listening measurement tools: Talk-to-listen ratios, question analysis, clarifying question tracking, curiosity index Connect with Oscar Trimboli  www.oscartrimboli.com LinkedIn Deep Listening: Impact Beyond Words   Connect with Raquel Ark: www.listeningalchemy.com Mobile: + 491732340722 contact@listeningalchemy.com LinkedIn Substack listening ALCHEMY newsletter Podcast email: listeningsuperpower@gmail.com

In this riveting episode, Dr. Nelson Vazquez shares his extraordinary journey from a 325-pound diabetic on seven medications and 300 units of insulin a day—to a vibrant, medication-free advocate for carnivore nutrition and metabolic healing. After surviving a stroke and facing macular edema, Dr. Vazquez turned to ancestral eating, eliminating plant toxins and ultra-processed foods to reclaim his health and vitality.He and Dr. Kiltz dive deep into the failures of modern medicine, the dangers of dietary dogma, and the spiritual and emotional clarity that comes with radical lifestyle change. With humor, humility, and decades of clinical insight, Dr. Vazquez challenges everything we think we know about nutrition, disease, and healing.

In this episode of Behind the Knife, Dr. Patrick Georgoff sits down with Dr. Keri Seymour and Dr. Joey Lew to tackle the complex world of gastrostomy tubes. What may seem like a routine and straightforward procedure is anything but—full of nuanced patient considerations, timing dilemmas, technical challenges, and potential complications that can turn a “simple” consult into a 2 a.m. call you won't forget. From who truly needs a G tube and when to managing difficult post-op issues like dislodgement and buried bumper syndrome, this episode breaks down the practical, evidence-based approach every surgeon should know. Whether you're managing stroke patients, trauma cases, or navigating the tricky administrative obstacles around enteral access, this episode will equip you with the insights and strategies to confidently dominate your G tube consults. Hosts:  ·      Dr. Patrick Georgoff (Acute Care Surgeon, Duke University) ·      Dr. Keri Seymour (Minimally Invasive & Acute Care Surgeon, Duke Regional) ·      Dr. Joey Lew (Surgical Resident, BTK MIS Team) Learning Goals: By the end of this episode, listeners will be able to:  ·      Understand the nuanced indications for gastrostomy tube (G tube) placement. ·      Learn which patients truly benefit from G tubes, and when enteral access is not appropriate or indicated. ·      Appreciate the importance of goals of care discussions, assessment of comorbidities, and decision-makers—especially in neurocritical and elderly populations. ·      Know evidence-based timing for gastrostomy tube placement in stroke, TBI, and other complex scenarios. ·      Understand guideline recommendations and the clinical reasoning behind trial periods of nasogastric feeding versus early G tube placement. ·      Describe technical approaches to G tube placement and how to tailor the method to patient anatomy and clinical context. ·      Solidify knowledge of when to choose endoscopic, laparoscopic, open, or interventional radiology-guided placement. ·      Recognize, manage, and strive to prevent common and serious complications of G tubes, including early and late dislodgement, buried bumper syndrome, infection, bleeding, and gastrocutaneous fistula. ·      Discuss perioperative considerations, including anticoagulation, patient stability, and post-procedural care. ·      Understand why routine suturing of the G tube or bumper is not recommended, and how administrative and facility factors can drive clinical decisions. ·      Gain practical pearls and quick decision trees to dominate G tube consults and troubleshooting, day or night.
