Send us a textKhakendra Khatri paid 7 lakh or 700,000 Nepali rupees (about 5,000 USD) for a job in Russia, but soon after arriving he realized that he was being sent to the front line of the Russia-Ukraine war. Desperate, he bribed a commander, and then escaped by walking through a forest overnight with a group of other trafficked Nepalis. Needing work to feed her children, Sushma found a recruiter to send her to join her aunt working in Kuwait but got sick and returned to Nepal after three months. The recruiter's calls began soon after she returned, demanding that she pay him more than 3 lakh. Both Khakendra and Sushma filed reports with police, and they, and their families, are now deep in debt. Welcome to Nepal Now: On the Move. My name is Marty Logan. This is the podcast that talks to some of the hundreds of thousands of people migrating from — and sometimes to — this small country surrounded by global giants China and India. Months later we reach out again to find out if reality in their new, temporary, home is meeting expectations. Occasionally we call in an expert to try and better understand all of this movement. The stories of Khakendra and Sushma, which you might remember from earlier episodes, make the idea of ‘fee-free' migration sound like a dream. But it's not. Today we're speaking with Upasana Khadka, a migration expert who is working on both no-cost and low-cost migration, which do both actually happen. This chat opened my eyes to how labour migration from Nepal is intertwined with global events, such as criticism of forced labour in countries including Malaysia. Upasana, who founded Migration Lab in Kathmandu, also highlights what is becoming a theme in this podcast: the positive aspects of migration.   Thanks again to Upasana Khadka for coming on the show. You wouldn't have guessed it, but this is the first time she has overcome her nerves to speak on a podcast, so I feel honored that she chose Nepal Now. I want to give another shout-out, to Prem Awasthi. He was the first guest of Nepal Now in 2024 when we shifted our focus to migration, and was also the first listener to subscribe to the show.

Dwelling in God's Secret Place

What do you think? Send us a textPragati Nepali is just 19 but already she has been married, migrated to work in neighbouring India, and then moved to Nepal's capital Kathmandu for other opportunities. That's where friends told her about a job in a garment factory in Jordan. When we talked last week she estimated that she might be finished her paperwork and winging toward the Middle Eastern country by mid-December. Jordan is one of very few Middle Eastern countries to which the Government of Nepal allows women to migrate for work. That's because of past incidents of violence against women migrant workers in the region's countries. We talked about this ban earlier this year in our chat with expert Sadikshya Bhattarai. The flow of migrant workers from Nepal to Jordan has never been  huge, peaking at just over 2,700 in 2016-2017 and then falling to just 621 in 2022-23. Regardless, tens of thousands of women have made the trip to other countries in the region illegally, often being trafficked through India. We spoke with one such woman, Sushma, earlier this year. Pragati says an aunt working in Jordan encouraged her to apply for a job in the factory, which reportedly makes clothing for Nike and other brands. Pragati has already set out a path after she completes her three-year contract in Jordan: she will return to her home district, Mugu, and start a design business.

Send us a Text Message.If you listen to the show on Buzzsprout, which happens to be the platform I use to host the podcast also, you can now send me a text message directly from the website. So what you do is, in the description of each episode, at the very top left, you'll see a link that says, send a text or send me a text. Click on that and your messaging app will open on your phone and you can write me a text message, which I think is pretty cool.  Also this week, uh, some news about migration. There was a really good article, depressing but good article, in The Guardian about the kafala system of labour that's used in the Gulf countries and some neighboring countries. And it's basically a way of employers to control their workforce. And particularly for our purposes, women who go there to work as domestic workers. And you might have listened to the episode we did last month with Sushma, who went to Kuwait and had to come back early after three months. So this is the type of system that is used to control workers like Sushma, who had a pretty tough time considering the short amount of time that she was there. She, at different times, was locked in rooms without a phone. She was deprived of food. She witnessed another worker being physically abused. This system is apparently being reformed in some countries, but it's happening too slowly. And this article in The Guardian is linked to an upcoming episode that we're going to have with an expert who's going to be talking about women migrant workers from Nepal going to the Gulf and other countries. So if you haven't yet subscribed or followed the show, you might want to do that right now so you don't miss that episode. Coming up in our next full interview next week, we're going to be speaking to Soham. Soham first migrated from Nepal to the U. S. when he was 17 to study, and in the last couple decades he's been going back and forth working at various jobs in the U. S. and Nepal also. Has many experiences that he talks about as well as unique opinions about migration personally and about its impact on Nepal as a whole. So stay tuned for that one.

Welcome to Nepal Now: Right Now, a weekly micro-episode where we share news about the show and what's happening in migration as it affects Nepal. First, I want to give a shout out to listener Sikhar for his persistence. He wrote and suggested a guest to me. And somehow I couldn't figure out how I could link that guest and their work with this, podcast on migration. And so I wrote back to him. He wrote back to me and very clearly spelled it out. And so I finally got it. So thank you very much again, Sikhar, for, um, for sticking with it and making me understand what you were suggesting. This week I'll be recording two interviews. The first will be with a migration expert. We'll be talking about women migrant workers. And in particular, we'll be discussing the Sushma case. You might remember Sushma, whose episode we aired a few weeks back. She went to Kuwait and had to come back early. Also this week, there's  a traveling government consultation that's happening, on the government's draft labor migration policy.  Hopefully some of the proposals that they present will make things better for migrant workers like Sushma. The second interview I'm doing this week is with a couple who are both applying to go work in South Korea. I met and talked to the husband when he had just finished his first exam. But they're both applying to go, which is quite unusual, I think. And what makes their story even more unique is that they met as migrant workers in Saudi Arabia before COVID. Also in the news this week and last, there have been protests by family members of migrants  who were recruited to go work in Russia and nearby countries and then taken into the Russian army. And a number of Nepalese now have died while serving in the Russian army and more are there trying to get back and have appealed to the government to help them come back. I even read a report this week that some of those recruits were let go from the army and then stuck in this kind of no man's land near the border with Ukraine and Russia, never made it out and have now been forced to go back into the army and continue serving. Also in the news this week, in Nepali Times, they're running a series on internal migration from the eastern hills down to the plains, a migration caused by drought and climate change, also. If you're interested, I'll put the links to these stories in the notes to this episode.

Hi everyone. I'm Marty Logan. Thank you for clicking on this episode of Nepal Now: On the Move, where we speak with some of the huge number of people leaving – and occasionally returning – to this country wedged between India and China. Bharat Adhikari is another former migrant worker who returned to live in Nepal, but his story could hardly be more different than Sushma's, who we heard from in a previous episode. I chatted recently with Bharat at the Himal Media studio in Patan Dhoka. After more than a decade working in the retail sector in the Persian Gulf countries of Oman and Dubai, Bharat and his family decided it was time to come home. He describes the aha! moment when he returned home from work one day and realized that his mother and daughter had almost everything that money could buy to make them happy living overseas – but not a community. Bharat broke the news to his boss in 2020, at the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, and the man suggested he was crazy. But Bharat insisted that it was the best thing for his ageing mother and young daughter, and finally convinced him (although today he still gets offers from his former employer in Dubai to return). Aside from the decision to leave his successful career in exchange for society and culture in Nepal, what I find interesting about Bharat's story is that his first venture here failed. Well not exactly – he gave up on starting a new business when he realized that he would have to ingratiate himself with government officials. Bharat understood then that having worked only in Gulf countries, he needed to be operating within a disciplined system. Luckily he's now found it in his new job. Please listen now to my conversation with Bharat Adhikari. Send us feedback and ideas.

“Hi podcast listeners! We are trying something fun, and maybe a little bit dangerous. On May 22, 2024, from 2:00–3:00 pm CT, Sg2 Perspectives is hosting a live podcast where you can join hosts Trevor DaRin, Tori Richie and Jayme Zage via Zoom for the recording of an episode. Our relationship right now is a little one sided, and we want to meet you! So register here to join us to ask questions, share your insights or just heckle us. (Sg2 members can look for more information on the Sg2 Intelligence site.) Hope to see you there!”   Sg2 continuously monitors the margins and financial resiliency of our members across the country, so on this week's Sg2 Perspectives, host Jayme Zage, PhD, talks to Sg2 Principal Brian Esser, Senior Consultant Sushma Narra and Director Ryota Terada about the latest iteration of Sg2's Economic Index, which helps organizations anticipate where future financial headwinds and tailwinds may develop. Brian, Sushma and Ryota discuss the four domains of the Economic Index; how this tool can benefit not only providers but also life sciences companies; and their bold predictions for what will impact financial resiliency over the next couple years.   We are always excited to get ideas and feedback from our listeners. You can reach us at sg2perspectives@sg2.com, find us on Twitter as @Sg2HealthCare, or visit the Sg2 company page on LinkedIn.

Hi everyone. I'm Marty Logan. Thank you for choosing to listen to Nepal Now: On the Move from the literally millions of podcasts available. This is our third episode since we shifted the show's focus to migration — to, from, and within Nepal. And, I gotta say: I'm biting my nails waiting for feedback from you listeners — especially long-time fans. Good, bad or indifferent, I want to hear it. Your responses are the best way for me to see how I might improve the show. So please take a minute to leave a comment on Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn, email me at nepalnowpod(at)gmail.com, or leave a review on Spotify or Apple podcasts. Today we're speaking with another returnee to Nepal, but one with a much different story than what we heard from baker/entrepreneur Aanchal last week. We're calling her Sushma, which is not her real name, because she has received threats from people who were involved in sending her to work in Kuwait. Sushma has filed a report with police, but nothing had come of it as of March 31st. The good news is that she is back home with her children, who she was very worried about, and taking medication. Sushma left her village in Nepal's Karnali region last November, and within a month was in Dubai, waiting to be taken to a job in Kuwait. She arrived there after a month but stayed only 3 months because she fell ill — but not before being threatened with harm if she didn't go back to work. She also saw another worker being hit by a house owner, had her phone taken away, and was told by employers in another house that she couldn't leave because “We bought you.”Back in Nepal, Sushma, who didn't attend school as a child and used to earn money in her village by manually breaking stones, is now saddled with a huge debt after her family mortgaged land to pay the agent for her ticket home. But given what she experienced in her brief stay in Kuwait, that seems far better than other possible outcomes.This is the first episode where I worked with an interpreter, Pranika Koyu, who was in the studio with Sushma and I. She did an amazing job, but occasionally you might hear that I left out a voice when I shouldn't have. That and any other editing errors are mine. A couple other notes: you'll hear us talk about lakhs of money: 1 lakh is 100,000 Nepali rupees, which is about $750. Sushma says sometimes that the agent demanded 3 lakhs, 50,000 rupees for her return; other times she says 3 lakhs 20,000. We settled on the last amount. Finally, near the end of our conversation I ask Sushma about something I had heard earlier in the day about her police case. I deliberately deleted the name of the person who told me, for the same security reasons.Just one more thing: I recently found out that there are two versions of the show on Apple Podcasts. I have no idea how that happened but it means I need to delete one. The choice is easy: one has all the episodes and one has fewer; one has quite a few subscribers – I like to think – and one has only about 20. So that second one I'm going to delete tomorrow. If you listen to the show on Apple Podcasts, just be aware of that. And if you notice something has changed, particularly if you can't listen to the show anymore, I suggest that you delete the show and then resubscribe or re-follow, however it works on Apple. If you have any problems beyond that, please let me know. ResourcesPourakhi NepalMusic by audionautix.com.Send us feedback and ideas.

Touch as a listening tool: an interview with Sushma SubramanianIn a world where we're increasingly reliant on technology to communicate, it's easy to forget the importance of face-to-face interaction. But as Sushma Subramanian reminds us, touch is an essential part of communication that can often be overlooked.As a healthcare provider, medical marketer, or pharma executive, you know that building trust and rapport with patients is key to providing successful care. And as Subramanian explains, touch can be a powerful way to connect with others and create a bond of trust.Read on to learn more about the role of touch in communication, and how you can use it to build better relationships with your patients!Introducing Sushma Subramanian and her work as a science journalistSushma Subramanian is a trailblazing science journalist whose research and teaching credentials have made her a respected expert in the field. Her work has included investigative pieces for scientific journals, research articles related to public health, and writing for well-known publications. In addition to her research accomplishments, she has also authored several books on scientific topics and garnered numerous awards for her dedication to bringing credible research to the public's attention. As an inspiration to up-and-coming journalists, Sushma Subramanian is leading the way as a distinguished professional who has made valuable contributions to science journalism.Describe how touch can be used as a listening tool in medical settingsTouch has a history of being an essential diagnostic tool in the medical world—from feeling a pulse to discerning heat or coldness in a patient's skin, it is one of the first and most basic methods that have been used since ancient times. Today, modern doctors are recognizing touch as a critical way to listen to their patients, expressing and discovering issues beyond what mere words can convey. Listening through touch can help establish trust between practitioners and patients; no longer is medicine just a clinical practice focused on diagnosis without taking into consideration both the physical and emotional state of health of each individual. By paying attention not only to what the patient is saying, but also how they are saying it and how their body responds, doctors can gain invaluable insight into their overall well-being.Share some of the benefits to patients of using touch as a listening toolThrough the use of touch, both healthcare professionals and patients can gain confidence in their ability to interact with one another. A patient who feels comfortable and respected by the clinician is more likely to be compliant with treatment recommendations and adhere to follow-up protocols. Research has found that touch can promote feelings of safety, comfort, confidence, and connection between patients and clinicians, suggesting that this communication tool should be explored for its potential positive effects on patient health outcomes.Highlights from my interview with Sushma Subramanian about her research on haptics technologyRecently, I had the chance to interview Sushma Subramanian about her research on haptics technology and how it could profoundly benefit the veterans' community. In particular, she highlighted how haptics technology can concentrate primarily in restoring a sense of touch that has been lost due to physical injury or age. Subramanian noted that haptics have numerous applications and are found across a variety of fields, including healthcare, aviation, and automotive, but the most powerful aspect of haptics is how it can be uniquely tailored for different needs. Through haptics-enabled communication, this...

Episode 120: Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) Abeda Faharti and Dr. Schlaerth present the definition, diagnosis, and treatment of IRIS. Moderated by Dr. Arreaza. Written by Abeda Farhati, MS4, Ross University School of Medicine. Editing and comments by Katherine Schlaerth, MD, and 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.Definition.Have you heard of IRIS? No, not the color portion of our eyes. IRIS is short for Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome. This condition occurs in immunocompromised patients with HIV/AIDS due to an overactive inflammatory response. In most cases, it occurs after initiating antiretroviral therapy (ART). To understand IRIS in HIV patients, we must first understand HIV.HIV.The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection was first reported in 1981. The virus attacks the immune system, destroying white blood cells called CD4+ T lymphocytes, which are part of our body's defense mechanism. These cells are also known as "helper T cells" and are responsible for destroying viruses, bacteria, and other germs that make us sick.When your CD4+ count is low, you are more likely to get serious infections from viruses, bacteria, and fungi, which usually do not cause problems in otherwise healthy individuals. These infections are called Opportunistic infections, and they can be deadly. To restore CD4+ T lymphocytes, HIV patients are started on ART to normalize their immune response to pathogens. As a result of these treatments, HIV patients' lives have been significantly improved and prolonged. [Comment by Dr. Arreaza: It is paradoxical, but some HIV patients are among the healthiest patients I have seen.]Despite this, no treatment is guaranteed to be without side effects. Increases in CD4+ T lymphocytes trigger the immune system to respond to any persisting antigen, regardless of whether it is fragments or intact organisms. As a result, a hyperinflammatory response may occur.Diagnosis.There are no established criteria for diagnosing IRIS. It is generally accepted that IRIS requires the worsening of an existing infection or an unrecognized, preexisting infection in the context of improved immune function. For a diagnosis to be made, most, if not all of the following features must be present:The presence of a low CD4 count (less than 100 cells) before initiating treatment with ART (Except IRIS secondary to preexisting TB infection can occur with CD4 counts >200 cells).The presence of an inflammatory condition, especially after ART is initiated.The absence of drug-resistant infection, bacterial superinfection, drug allergy, or other adverse drug reactions.The absence of patient noncompliance or reduced drug levels due to drug-drug interactions or malabsorption.Clinical Manifestations.IRIS can be presented in patients in 2 ways:Patient's with a preexisting infectious disease that has NOT been treated, getting paradoxically worse after initiating treatment with ART ---this is known as “unmasking IRIS” ORPatient's with a preexisting infectious disease that has been previously diagnosed and treated but regained capacity after treatment with ART, causing it to mount an inflammatory response – this is known as “paradoxical IRIS.”In summary: Unmasking IRIS and paradoxical IRIS.Patients with IRIS have clinical features that vary widely. The presentations are strongly dependent on the type of preexisting opportunistic infection. For example, about 75% of patients with a mycobacterial or cryptococcal-related infection will develop a fever. In contrast, fever is rarely seen in cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections.Risk & Prevention.Researchers have found that lower CD4 cell counts or high HIV RNA levels at the time of anti-retroviral treatment initiation increase the risk of developing IRIS. One way to prevent IRIS development is to treat opportunistic infections prior to starting ART. Although this reduces the risk of IRIS development, it does not guarantee it.Treatment.In “unmasking IRIS,” patients can be treated with antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals against the underlying infectious organism. In severe cases, steroids can also be used to suppress inflammation until the infection has been eradicated. Unfortunately, there is no treatment for paradoxical IRIS. Most patients who experience “paradoxical IRIS” reactions will get better spontaneously without additional therapy.Incidence of IRIS.The overall incidence of IRIS is unknown; however, studies have shown that anywhere from 25 to 30% of HIV patients who start antiretroviral treatment develop IRIS in the first six months. You may ask, which preexisting infections can lead to patients developing IRIS?Pathogens associated with IRIS.Different pathogens have been associated with the development of IRIS. The leading pathogens include:Mycobacterium tuberculosisMycobacterium avium complexCytomegalovirusCryptococcus neoformansPneumocystis jiroveciiHerpes simplex virusHepatitis B virusHuman herpes virus 8 (associated with Kaposi sarcoma)Non-HIV etiologies.IRIS can also be seen in other immunocompromised conditions, such as:Solid organ transplant recipients Postpartum period – 3 to 6 weeks after giving birthNeutropenic patients – with an absolute neutrophil count of less than 500Patients on Tumor Necrosis Factor Antagonists (TNF antagonists)- are used to treat chronic conditions such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, or sarcoidosis.In summary, Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS) is a hyper-inflammatory state seen after initiating ART in HIV patients whose improved immune system responds to previously acquired opportunistic infection, whether treated or not.The treatment is directed to the unmasked specific opportunistic infection or support therapy if no active infection is found.____________________________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 121, “Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS).” This syndrome presents in about 30% of HIV patients when they start ART. A stronger immune system means a stronger immune reaction. So, keep in mind this diagnosis when your HIV patients get sicker when they are supposed to get better after starting ART. This week we thank Hector Arreaza, Abeda Farhati, and Katherine Schlaerth.

Shownotes: Racism/casteism comes in various forms across the world, sometimes it is overt and sometimes it is coded. In either form it negatively impacts the life and life chances of millions of people who move to a different country to seek a better or more stable future. Sometimes it can break people and other times it makes them more resilient and more determined. Did you know that Sweden is a country where every fourth resident(24.9) has a foreign background and every third (32.3) has at least one parent born abroad. But, does this diversity translate into a more inclusive country or workforce? Sweden's recent election results are telling. For Sushma, the experience of looking for employment at the start of her stay in Sweden was deeply disheartening. In her own words, “Recruitment bias (unconscious) has worked against me in 99 out of 100 job applications. That gives me 1 interview opportunity in 100+ submitted applications; where I check 100% (more or less) of the job requirements on the ad.” Unfortunately, this is not unique to Sweden, or any one country. My own experiences in the UK, a couple of years back were similar if not worse. I survived but I am still smarting from the experience. In addition to being the Head of Talent Acquisition, Northern Europe at Transcom, Sushma has also been involved in the local parliament in Lund since five years. She is determined to move the needle and contribute to building a fairer society. In this episode we spoke about

“Pan-gender to me means any gender expression that exists right now, I identify with in some way. So there are days where I feel more masculine, I feel more feminine, I feel non-binary.

In this episode, Simi catches up with Sushma Dwivedi, Head of Communications and Brand Marketing at Daily Harvest and Founder of the Purple Pundit Project. Sushma spent the early innings of her career with major global communications firms including Edelman and Fleishman Hillard. Focused on food and beverage space early on, she worked closely with companies like Chobani, Dannon, and Perdue Farms. In 2020, she joined Daily Harvest, a food startup that makes ready-to-blend smoothies, soups, and more all with the intent of making healthy eating easier. In November 2021, the startup raised their Series D at a valuation of $1 billion backed by investors like Serena Williams and Gwyneth Paltrow. Sushma moonlights as a Hindu priestess or pundit. In 2016, she founded Purple Pundit Project to help South Asian couples more easily find modern, inclusive pundits and officiants for their weddings. To date, she's officiated over 40 weddings, many of which were for LGBTQ+  couples — and one while she was in labor. More on that story and Sushma's vision for the future of food in this episode.For more episodes, visit southasiantrailblazers.com. Subscribe to our newsletter to get new episodes in your inbox.
