Globally, 23 percent of the world’s population had myopia in 2000. By 2020, that rate had risen to 34 percent. Some experts estimate that it could reach 50 percent by 2050. Rates among children and adolescents are even higher in some places, reaching 70 percent among East Asians and an alarming 86 percent among Singaporean Chinese youth 15 and under (British Journal of Ophthalmology, July 2016). Why are so many people, including young people, myopic? Are there implications beyond a need for corrective lenses (glasses or contacts)? Can we reverse this trend by limiting screen time or encouraging more time outdoors? Are there treatments that can help children and adolescents improve their vision? Which Vision Specialist Should You See? Eyes are complicated, and caring for vision problems has become increasingly specialized and technically sophisticated. As a result, ophthalmologists (eye doctors) now often treat just one part of the eye, such as the retina or the cornea. Some surgeons specialize in removing cataracts. Others, like Dr. Sharon Fekrat, are expert in retinal surgery. There are also pediatric ophthalmologists who treat children. In addition, some people need to consult a neuro-ophthalmologist or someone who specializes in inherited retinal degenerations, uveitis or ocular oncology. How can you determine which type of eye doctor you should see to address your particular problem most effectively? What Is in a Complete Eye Examination? Dr. Fekrat will describe the elements of a complete eye examination. Why is each one included? What further steps are needed if trouble is detected? This will give you an idea of how vision problems are assessed and where to turn for treatment. Managing Dry Eyes One of the most common complaints is dry eyes. This condition is uncomfortable as well as common, affecting up to half of adults in the US. What are the causes? Are there treatments? People often use eye drops to alleviate the discomfort. Which ones work best? What can a person do if they have severe dry eye problems and are referred to a dry eye specialist with an appointment months in advance? Is it dangerous to postpone dry eye care? What to Do About Blepharitis When the problem is more the eyelid than the eye itself, doctors call it blepharitis. One typical symptom is crust on the lids, which may feel itchy or scratchy. Some people find that applying warm compresses morning and evening is helpful. Others need medication. You may have seen ads for Xdemvy, which is aimed at reducing the population of Demodex mites living in the follicles of the eyelashes. Mites are not the only problem, however. Sometimes bacterial infections are the underlying cause of blepharitis. Rosacea and seborrheic dermatitis that affect skin elsewhere on the face may also show up with the same symptoms. Topical ivermectin cream has been used off-label on the eyelid margins and may help reduce Demodex mites, but it is not an FDA-approved eye treatment and should only be used under an eye clinician's direction because it is not intended for instillation into the eye. How Will the Doctor Diagnose Glaucoma? Glaucoma is generally understood as a condition in which pressure inside the eye rises and damages the optic nerve. This disease can lead to vision loss. That's why intraocular pressure measurement should always be part of the eye exam. But this simple diagnostic technique alone may be incomplete. We'll ask Dr. Fekrat about additional approaches that might pick up normal-pressure glaucoma. How is it treated? Age-Related Macular Degeneration Deserves Treatment Another of the vision problems that can cause serious impairment is age-related macular degeneration. In this disorder, the central part of the retina, the macula, loses its ability to focus. Patients may notice that the central part of the vision is blurry, and it may be harder to see under low light conditions. Ophthalmologists now have a range of medications to inject to slow the progression of macular degeneration. Dr. Fekrat can describe the difference between “dry” and “wet” macular degeneration and the drugs used to treat them. What Other Vision Problems Are Troubling You? This is a chance to ask questions and get answers about vision problems from an expert.

After decades as a surgeon, professor, and medical expert, Dr. Anthony Goodman found himself facing an unexpected diagnosis: early Alzheimer's disease. In this conversation, Dr. Goodman and his wife, Maribeth, share what it was like to recognize the signs, receive the diagnosis, navigate treatment, and redefine life as a family. They discuss the difficult moment their daughter urged Dr. Goodman to seek help, the emotional challenge of moving from doctor to patient, and the surprising hope they found through early intervention and new Alzheimer's treatments. They offer an honest look at caregiving, stigma, identity, and the importance of talking openly about dementia. ABOUT GUEST Dr. Anthony Goodman is a former surgeon and medical educator. His new memoir, “Great Saves and Terrible Losses: The Journeys of a Surgeon,” chronicles both his decades-long career in medicine and his journey after being diagnosed with early Alzheimer's disease. He is joined by his wife of over four decades, Maribeth. You can learn more about the book and find various Alzheimer's resources at his website: https://anthonyagoodman-author.com/.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr Sepehr Lajevardi — a specialist plastic surgeon who built one of the fastest-growing multi-doctor clinics in Australia. In just three years, he scaled from a single-surgeon setup to a nine-surgeon, multi-disciplinary clinic — without relying on aggressive marketing or shortcuts. Instead, he focused on something most clinic owners overlook: Building the infrastructure first. What You'll Learn This conversation goes beyond marketing tactics. It's about what actually drives sustainable growth in a modern clinic. We break down: Why specialisation is the fastest way to build trust and referrals How to scale from solo practice to a multi-surgeon operation The role of SOPs, concierge teams, and structured patient journeys Why most clinics fail when they invest in marketing too early without a conversion system How fast response time (under 5 minutes) changes conversion completely The difference between leads vs. managed patient journeys How AI is being used inside clinics to improve productivity and follow-up The Big Takeaway One idea stood out clearly: Clinics don't have a lead generation problem. They have a lead management and infrastructure problem. Dr Lajevardi made it very clear: Paid ads come last Systems come first Patient experience drives everything This aligns directly with what I've shared in previous episodes: #94: One Thing to Boost Your Consultation Conversion Rate by Over 300% #90: Why SOPs and Business Systems Are Great Investments For Your Practice #103: Why Patients Pick Your Competitor (and How to Change That) #106: The Three Roles Every Medical Clinic Owner Must Master — And Why Most Surgeons Get Stuck as Technicians If your backend systems aren't strong, more leads won't fix your growth — they'll just expose the gaps faster. Connecting This to the Bigger Picture This episode also ties closely to the framework I outline in my book:
In this episode of the St Emlyn's Podcast, Iain Beardsell speaks with Anna Dobbie, consultant in emergency medicine and pre-hospital care, and Clinical Lead for London HEMS. Recorded at Trauma 2030 at the Royal College of Surgeons in London, the conversation explores what it means to lead exceptional teams in one of the most high-pressure areas of emergency medicine. Anna reflects on six years as Clinical Lead for London HEMS, sharing lessons on leadership, culture, psychological safety, difficult conversations, managing strong personalities, and supporting clinicians to do their best work. The discussion also touches on the unique nature of pre-hospital care, where teams move rapidly between downtime and high-intensity clinical decision-making, and where trust, openness and mutual respect are essential. Anna describes the importance of making sure all voices are heard, not just the loudest, and explains why leaders need to be consistent, approachable and willing to have honest conversations when things do not go as well as they should. Anna also reflects on learning leadership on the job, the value of formal leadership training, the challenge of maintaining boundaries when you care deeply about a service, and the relationship between London's Air Ambulance and its supporting charity. Finally, Iain and Anna look ahead to the future of trauma care and pre-hospital medicine, including research, ECMO, marginal gains, quality improvement, and the continuing ambition to reduce preventable deaths from trauma.

What can psychologists do the make pilots and astronauts' decision making better under duress? Can we anticipate the psychological issues of planned long distance space missions to Mars? How can we shift the shame culture for pilots and astronauts around reporting unidientified anomolous phenomena?In this episode we have the unique field of Space psychology to look into; So we discuss the psychology of military pilots and astronauts working under such extreme conditions; and the intuitive skill sets developed under such high pressure, split second decision situations; we discuss the cognitive engineering required to match the design of instruments to the cognitive needs of the pilots and astronauts; we get into alternatives methods of expertise exchange apart from the usual text book approach which have had extraordinary decision making results for pilot and astronaut performance. We also discuss the issues for pilots around reporting of UFO encounters, and the implications for space psychology of the new bout of main stream interest following the New York Times 2017 expose of military incidents.So who better to help us understand the minds of pilots and astronauts than space psychologist, cognitive engineer, astronaut instructor and Director of the Centre of Space Medicine at UCL in London, Dr. Iya Whitely. She's helped design training programs and conducted studies for the European Space Agency, The Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Centre in Russia, and presented he research for the USAirforce and Nasa.

Nobody wakes up one day and decides to drift away from God.Spiritual drift rarely happens all at once. It begins with subtle compromises, deceptive ideas, and desires that slowly pull our hearts away from God's truth.In this sermon message from Pastor Nick Tallo in Ephesians 5:3-7, we're reminded that before our behavior changes, something deeper is happening. What we believe shapes what we value, and what we value eventually determines the direction of our lives.The good news? God isn't a prosecutor looking to condemn us—He's a loving Father and skilled Surgeon who exposes what is harming us so He can heal us and lead us into the life He created us to live.

This week we go back 2.5 years and delve into the world of cardiovascular surgery when we review a review of STS data on the pulmonary artery band (PAB). The STS assigns a STAT category of 4 to this operation, denoting higher risk for mortality. Is this warranted? Are all PAB candidates equal? What features are associated with higher or lower mortality rates in patients undergoing banding? Should the data in this work drive innovation to avoid the PAB in some settings? These are amongst the questions posed to the senior author of this week's work, cardiovascular surgeon Dr. Tara Karamlou who is Professor of Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.

Our trauma surgeon ordered an ERA Shelby Cobra replica 4.5yrs ago, and it finally arrived. While not complete, it looks terrific in a very special (and personal) blue color with Air Force fighter pilot leather jacket brown interior. We're excited!Steve-0 has a rant about the Ferrari Luce, the iconic Italian automaker's upcoming four door BEV. He hates it of course, but unlike most observers he blames it on Nepo Baby Hubris--the nepo baby in question being the great industrialist Gianni Agnelli's great grandson John Elkann, Ferrari's Board Chair.Dr Moran's trauma surgeon safety segment involves child safety, and his message is restrain your children properly and never "double buckle", ie - put two kids in one seatbelt.Finally, Steve-0 spotted a Chris Bangle era BMW 645i coupe, and it looked really good. Bangle period BMWs were very controversial when they debuted 25yrs ago, but time has been kind to them and they look good today.#carsoncallpodcast #automobile #eracobra #cobrareplica #ferrariluce #ferrarilegacy #ferrarilucesucks #traumasurgeonsafety #banglebmw #bmw645i #autotrends

What if one of the most powerful medicines for longevity, resilience, happiness, cognitive health, and disease prevention wasn't found in a supplement, a prescription, or a cutting-edge biohack—but in the people around you? In this powerful solo episode, Darin Olien dives into one of the most overlooked health crises of our time: loneliness. Drawing from the landmark 85-year Harvard Adult Development Study, the U.S. Surgeon General's loneliness epidemic report, Blue Zones research, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology, Darin reveals why meaningful human connection may be one of the strongest predictors of health and longevity ever discovered. From oxytocin, cortisol, inflammation, vagal tone, and nervous system regulation to suburban design, social media, and the collapse of community structures, Darin exposes the hidden biological costs of isolation—and offers a practical roadmap for rebuilding the human connections we were biologically designed to need. What You'll Learn The stunning findings from Harvard's 85-year Adult Development Study Why relationships outperform wealth, genetics, diet, and exercise as predictors of well-being How loneliness increases the risk of premature death, dementia, heart disease, and stroke Why social isolation creates measurable biological stress responses The role of oxytocin in lowering inflammation and regulating stress How human connection affects the autonomic nervous system Why Blue Zone communities consistently prioritize social connection The biological difference between digital interaction and real human presence How modern architecture and technology contribute to loneliness Why community is a biological necessity—not a luxury Practical ways to rebuild meaningful relationships today How connection may be one of the most powerful health interventions available Chapters 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife 00:00:33 – Sponsor: Bite Toothpaste and reducing plastic waste 00:02:49 – The most powerful health study ever conducted 00:03:01 – Harvard follows 724 people for 85 years 00:03:40 – The surprising predictor of a long, healthy life 00:04:00 – Why relationships beat wealth, genetics, diet, and exercise 00:04:42 – The Surgeon General's loneliness epidemic warning 00:05:19 – Introducing the medicine you're not taking 00:05:53 – The health benefits of genuine community 00:06:21 – The fatal convenience of modern life 00:06:47 – Replacing human connection with digital connection 00:07:12 – Why modern convenience may be creating isolation 00:07:23 – Social isolation and premature mortality 00:08:02 – Loneliness and the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day 00:08:43 – Increased risks of heart disease, stroke, and dementia 00:09:10 – Why loneliness is a biological threat 00:09:52 – The science behind social isolation 00:10:11 – Sponsor: Manna Vitality 00:12:06 – Humans as the most socially dependent species 00:12:53 – Why connection regulates the nervous system 00:13:29 – The autonomic nervous system and social safety 00:13:56 – The brain's constant question: Am I safe? 00:14:03 – The biology of belonging 00:14:24 – The ventral vagal state explained 00:14:55 – Why connection creates measurable physiological changes 00:15:03 – What happens when isolation becomes chronic 00:15:52 – Oxytocin: far more than the "love hormone" 00:16:20 – Eye contact, touch, meals, and human bonding 00:16:42 – How oxytocin lowers stress and inflammation 00:17:04 – Why no supplement can replace connection 00:17:17 – The pharmacology of authentic human moments 00:18:06 – Free medicine hidden in plain sight 00:18:39 – Dan Buettner and the Blue Zones 00:19:29 – What the world's longest-lived populations have in common 00:19:36 – Okinawa's lifelong friendship circles 00:20:08 – Sardinia's active elders and social roles 00:20:40 – Greece's culture of connection and communal meals 00:21:03 – Why longevity wasn't hacked—it was lived 00:21:38 – Social connection as the foundation of daily life 00:22:01 – The shocking decline in face-to-face interaction 00:22:21 – Young people losing 70% of in-person social time 00:22:58 – How community was systematically dismantled 00:23:00 – Robert Putnam's Bowling Alone 00:23:49 – Doing life together versus doing life alone 00:24:05 – How suburban design creates isolation 00:24:49 – The built environment shapes human behavior 00:24:55 – Social media and the promise of connection 00:25:20 – Why digital connection fails biologically 00:25:33 – Social comparison, anxiety, and nervous system stress 00:25:49 – More connected online, more isolated in reality 00:26:03 – A call to action: treating relationships like health practices 00:27:00 – Practical ways to rebuild community 00:28:00 – Prioritizing people over convenience 00:29:00 – Deep conversations, presence, and intentional connection 00:30:00 – Reclaiming community in modern life 00:31:00 – Final thoughts on connection, belonging, and health 00:31:53 – Closing remarks and outro Thank You to Our Sponsors Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order Manna Vitality: Go to mannavitality.com/ and use code DARIN12 for 12% off your order.

As enterprises expand across multiple cloud environments, on-premise data centers, and dynamic AI workloads, traditional perimeter defenses and siloed cloud-native tools are no longer enough to secure the modern network. In this episode, Ashish sits down with Murali Rathinasamy, Senior Director of Product at Cisco, to break down the next evolution of network security: the Hybrid Mesh Firewall. Murali explains why relying solely on cloud-native firewalls can create visibility gaps, and how unified policy orchestration allows security teams to manage enforcement points seamlessly. He shares a real-world case study of how Multicloud Defense is used to eliminate manual route table configurations and achieve zero-downtime, blue-green upgrades. The conversation also tackles micro-segmentation. Murali breaks down why segmentation initiatives usually stall in "analysis paralysis" and provides a practical, agentless roadmap to reduce your attack surface "one bite at a time".

There are multiple disease outbreaks public health officials are trying to contain. Why a former U.S. surgeon general says he's concerned about public health's future. And, our series on religion at the Legislature continues with a trauma nurse whose faith inspired her to run for office.
Cohosts Dr. Sara Pereira and Dr. Fatima Wilder are joined by guest Dr. J.W. Awori Hayanga—professor of cardiothoracic surgery at West Virginia University, director of the WVU Heart and Vascular Institute ECMO Program, and a nationally recognized leader in transplantation, health policy, and artificial intelligence in medicine—for a wide-ranging conversation about mentorship, resilience, and purpose. Born and raised in Nairobi, Kenya, Dr. Hayanga reflects on the profound influence of his lawyer parents, especially his mother, whose pioneering work in microfinance and women's empowerment shaped his worldview and commitment to service. He shares the challenges of immigrating to the United States for medical training, navigating the uncertainty of visa status as an international medical graduate, and learning how relationships, mentorship, and persistence can open doors throughout a surgical career. The conversation also explores the growing role of artificial intelligence and robotics in cardiothoracic surgery, along with candid insights on leadership, emotional intelligence, failure, and staying grounded through the demands of academic medicine.
CardioNerds (Drs. Rawan Amir, Tripti Gupta, and Alysha Joseph) discuss the fundamentals of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) surgery with Dr. Elizabeth Stephens. Audio editing by CardioNerds academy intern, Grace Qiu. Using a case of a young adult undergoing a Ross procedure, the episode walks through what happens in the operating room—from induction and intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), myocardial protection, and surgical repair. The discussion highlights key concepts including cardioplegia, cross-clamp and bypass times, hypothermic circulatory arrest, and the complexity of redo sternotomy. This episode provides learners with a practical framework to interpret operative reports, anticipate postoperative physiology, and better collaborate with surgical teams. This episode was produced by the CardioNerds ACHD Council and planned by Dr. Rawan Amir. CardioNerds Adult Congenital Heart Disease PageCardioNerds Episode Page Pearls “LV distension kills patients.”Preventing left ventricular distension with appropriate venting and awareness of aortic insufficiency is critical to intraoperative safety. TEE can change the surgical plan in real time.Findings such as underestimated aortic regurgitation, mitral pathology, or a PFO may directly alter cannulation and cardioplegia strategy. Cross-clamp time = myocardial ischemic time; bypass time = systemic stress.Both are key predictors of postoperative complications including renal injury, bleeding, and ventricular dysfunction. Redo sternotomy risk is driven by anatomy, not just number.Aorta adherent to the sternum, conduit position, and chamber pressurization define risk more than the number of prior surgeries. Think longitudinally—ACHD surgery is lifetime planning.Surgical materials and strategies must account for future interventions, especially in younger patients. Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Alysha Joseph, aided by generative artificial intelligence. What are the key steps in congenital cardiac surgery from incision to closure? Preoperative planning is multidisciplinary, involving surgeon, anesthesia, cardiology, and ICU teams; high-risk inductions (e.g., critical AS, Williams syndrome) are identified early TEE is performed immediately after induction to reassess anatomy and may reveal new findings (e.g., underestimated AI, mitral disease, PFO) Median sternotomy is performed, followed by creation of a pericardial well to optimize exposure Heparin is administered prior to cannulation; arterial and venous cannulas are placed for initiation of CPB Cross-clamp is applied and cardioplegia delivered to arrest the heart, allowing a still and protected operative field Surgical repair (e.g., Ross procedure) is performed, followed by de-airing, cross-clamp removal, and reperfusion Patient is weaned from bypass with TEE reassessment, hemostasis achieved, and chest closed What is cardioplegia and how is it delivered? Cardioplegia is a potassium-rich solution that arrests myocardial activity and reduces metabolic demand Most commonly used solution in the U.S. is Del Nido cardioplegia, originally developed for pediatric myocardium Delivery strategies include: Antegrade (via aortic root) – standard approach Ostial (direct coronary delivery) – used when aortic root cannot be relied upon Retrograde (via coronary sinus) – useful in severe AI or coronary disease NOTE: Severe aortic regurgitation can impair antegrade delivery and requires alternative strategies and LV venting What do cross-clamp time and bypass time represent clinically? Cross-clamp time = duration of myocardial ischemia while the heart is arrested Bypass time = total duration on CPB, reflecting systemic exposure to non-physiologic circulation Prolonged cross-clamp time (>2–3 hours) increases risk of myocardial dysfunction, especially with poor baseline function Longer bypass time is associated with increased risk of renal injury, coagulopathy, and bleeding These metrics often reflect both case complexity and intraoperative challenges What is hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) and when is it used? HCA involves complete cessation of blood flow to allow a bloodless surgical field Typically used in complex aortic arch repairs Patients are cooled to ~18°C to reduce metabolic demand and protect organs Duration is ideally limited to
In this episode of WarDocs, Army Deputy Surgeon General Dr. Lance Raney discusses the past, present, and future of military medicine. The conversation begins with Dr. Raney's early journey from a collegiate scholarship athlete to a Family Medicine physician, exploring how his clinical roots in "small-town" Army medicine established the decision-making framework necessary for high-level strategic leadership. Drawing on his experience as a Brigade Surgeon with the 172nd Stryker Combat Team in Iraq, Dr. Raney emphasizes the life-saving importance of empowering medics at the point of injury and the necessity of critical thinking in the face of unexpected clinical challenges. The dialogue then shifts to the complexities of the current military healthcare landscape, particularly the transition to the Defense Health Agency and the integration of medical readiness with healthcare delivery. Dr. Raney provides a candid look at the challenges of navigating systemic changes during the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of MHS GENESIS, noting that leadership through influence is now more vital than ever. He shares a personal and powerful account of his time at Womack Army Medical Center, discussing how patience and trust in the military justice system reinforced his commitment to servant leadership and organizational resilience. A major focus of the episode is the Army's strategic pivot toward Large Scale Combat Operations (LSCO). Dr. Raney details how the "Golden Hour" of evacuation is being replaced by the reality of prolonged field care, requiring a fundamental overhaul of medical training. He explains the expansion of the Army paramedic program and the development of high-tech solutions like Artificial Intelligence for triage and decision support. These innovations are designed to augment the front-line provider's ability to manage casualties in austere, communication-denied environments where resources are strictly limited. Finally, Dr. Raney offers profound career advice for the next generation of healthcare professionals. He encourages students and young officers to become the experts their patients expect and to seek "Purpose Plus"—the unique fulfillment found in serving the extended family of the American soldier. By focusing on legacy and the impact left in others, Dr. Raney illustrates why military medicine remains one of the most rewarding paths a clinician can choose.

He shares his hope of leaving a legacy through the people he has trained and the lives he has touched. Take Home Messages Master Your Craft: Becoming an expert in your specific clinical field is the fundamental requirement for all military medical professionals. True education happens after residency when you apply your skills to real-world patient outcomes and learn from continuity of care. Lead to Purpose: Leadership should not be about the commander but about enabling others to own their piece of the mission. When a team understands their purpose, they move from just doing a job to providing meaningful interventions that change lives. Prepare for Prolonged Care: In future conflicts, the luxury of rapid evacuation will be limited, requiring medical teams to hold patients for much longer durations. Success will depend on the individual's ability to think critically and utilize limited resources in the face of unsolvable problems. Embrace Systemic Ownership: Tactical problems are often best solved by those at the tactical level rather than waiting for higher headquarters to provide a solution. Understanding that resources are finite at the strategic level empowers local leaders to take initiative and resolve issues independently. Seek Purpose Plus: Serving in the military provides a unique opportunity to practice medicine on an "extended family" that shares your core values. This sense of shared purpose turns the daily grind into a lifelong mission of service to the nation and its warriors.

Dr. Kirk Campbell shares his journey from aspiring physician to orthopedic surgeon and academic leader, highlighting how early experiences shaped his passion for medicine. He reflects on the rigorous training physicians undergo and the significant gap in financial education during that time. Despite entering high-income roles, many physicians lack the knowledge to manage their finances effectively, often facing high debt and limited exposure to wealth-building strategies beyond traditional investments. The conversation explores how the shift from private practice to employed physician models has reduced access to traditional wealth-building opportunities, such as ownership in practices and ancillary revenue streams. Dr. Campbell explains how he discovered real estate syndications as a way to recreate these benefits, generating passive income and leveraging tax advantages. Through disciplined self-education and experience, he developed a strategy that aligns with physicians' analytical skill sets, emphasizing due diligence and risk assessment. Dr. Campbell also provides practical insights for physicians interested in alternative investments, including how to evaluate deals, identify red flags, and build relationships with trusted sponsors. He stresses the importance of financial education, diversification, and creating income streams that are not tied to clinical work. Ultimately, the episode underscores the need for physicians to take an active role in their financial lives to gain flexibility, reduce risk, and build long-term wealth. 3 Key Takeaways Physicians often lack financial education despite earning high incomes. Real estate and alternative investments can help recreate lost private practice benefits. Education and due diligence are critical before entering private investment opportunities.
