Podcasts about suturing

From Kensington to the East End, under candlelight, gas lamp and then neon signs, London is both a bustling physical metropolis and a stirring psychic encounter. The most depraved depictions of London in fiction, film, poetry, television and theatre have irrevocably merged with the reality of its dark history, creating a phantasmagoria defined by murder, vice and the unnatural. In this panoptic look at the capital at its most eerie and macabre, Dr. Clive Bloom takes a tour of Gothic London's uncanny literature, arcane events and its infamous and imagined geographies. From David Bowie to T S Eliot, Thomas de Quincey to Aleister Crowley, the prophetess Joanna Southcott to the 'ghosts' of Abba and the worlds of Neil Gaiman and Clive Barker, these are the figures that populate a city lost in fog and blind alleys, where the dead can be raised, the living sacrificed and the clandestine thrive.  Suturing together fact and fantasy, London Uncanny: A Gothic Guide to the Capital in Weird History and Fiction (Bloomsbury, 2025) presents the urban landscape of the capital as a space of wonder and madness, haunted by its past and haunting the present. Stalking through disease and degeneracy, death and murder, spiritualism, lunacy and the occult, Bloom crafts a singular, integrated concept of a London where dreams and nightmares meet. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Forget the Singer sewing machine, Howard has the facts.

After a needlestick injury, Dr. William Travis Lau conceived a safety suturing device to protect other healthcare workers from suffering a similar incident. Partnering with Joe Lane to help create what would become SafePath Medical, they started development of the first safety suturing device for catheter securement. Though Travis tragically passed away in 2019, his legacy endures through this life-saving innovation and his contributions to patient safety and blood management practices. SafePath's CEO Joe, joins this episode to share insights into the unique design challenges that have been overcome to realize Travis's vision, and create an ergonomic device that is capable of safe suturing for catheter securement and skin closure. With FDA clearance already in place for the intended use in placement of a silk suture in the skin and subcutaneous tissues, Joe discusses the multiple benefits that can now be made available to healthcare workers. This physician-backed solution is packed with engineering ingenuity and Joe shares how M2D2 is entwined in the backstory that helped the startup move from prototype to marketplace, leaving it primed to revamp the current standard of care. Under Joe's leadership, SafePath Medical is realizing not only Travis's vision, but a safer future for frontline healthcare workers. This is a true legacy story that is sure to leave you informed and inspired.

Combat Sports Medicine seems like an extreme environment to practice Athletic Training. Dr. Ethan Kreiswirth created Blackbelt Sports Medicine to provide Athletic Trainer care for combat sports athletes. You are always posting gnarly pictures and videos on IG. What gives you pause or catches you off guard? As an Athletic Trainer, I started covering tournaments around 1997. Personal experience in the sport helps me understand the types of injuries that occur. Tournaments now are 40 mats over 6 days Dislocations, unconscious used to give me pause. Now it is just running a company. Or working youth tournaments, those are always difficult for me. Does Blackbelt Sports Medicine have tournaments across the United States? Yes, we work with the BJJ organizations to help provide medical care for combat sports. A new AT is going to work in combat sports medicine.  How do you prep them? Gloves, gauze, skin lube, and nose plugs. An Athletic Trainer working with Black Belt Sports Medicine could almost get away with just bringing their fanny pack, like the Nexus Deadbug There is almost no taping done, maybe some finger taping. You do a good bit of suturing…discuss that as an AT.  Many of these BJJ athletes are from out of state or another country. Suturing on the sidelines helps them out tremendously. I have done about 10 sutures so far. There is a lot of practice involved with the practice kits. Not being licensed gives me more freedom to practice the emerging skills. We take a table behind the scenes and do the standard prep work.  We also instruct them to follow up with their HCP. The larger tournaments have an overseeing physician onsite as well. Sign up for a tournament and see if Combat Sports Medicine is for you.

On this week's SciFiles, your hosts Chelsie and Daniel interview Maddy Eischer. As a student pursuing a dual degree in Apparel & Textile Design and Genomics & Molecular Genetics, Maddy has long felt the societal pressure to pick one of her passions in school and in a future career. Instead of choosing between these two dichotomous interests, Maddy has managed to use her research to highlight the interconnection between the arts and the sciences by investigating scientific advancements in textiles as well as by designing and creating a collection of five unconventional and fashionable lab coats. This research explores the struggle to pick a career path, the importance of fashion and textiles in all facets of life, and the concept of professionalism and individuality within medical and scientific spaces.If you're interested in talking about your MSU research on the radio or nominating a student, please email Chelsie and Danny at scifiles89fm@gmail.com.

If you're like, my guest, Nabeel Cajee, then it was probably like, you know what, I got this, he had a background in embroidery Jaz's IntroductionBut for me, I was absolutely hopeless. And to be fair, I've improved a lot since the first days in dental school, but there's so much I still need to improve on, which is why I found you one of the best people to teach on sutures. This guy is brilliant. He's got a whole online portfolio of videos to watch. And it is something that's really helped me and I'm continuing through his course. And I want to bring him on to share with you some nuggets of inspiration to improve your suturing come Monday morning. We covered this episode. But no, there are two types of courses, there are courses that you do, which will ultimately, it may not be the main goal, but ultimately it will improve your return on investment, or it will give you a return on investment. So I know that if I start placing implants, and I got an implant year long course, it might cost me a lot of money on this one year long course. But I know that there'll be a return on investment, I can offer my patients implants. And that should reflect my bottom line. That shouldn't be the reason I do the course, ideally, but it will have an ROI. There are other courses that you do, and other things that we've purchased like microscopes for example, or suturing, for example that you do because you know that you can give the highest quality of your care to that patient. One of the things that Nabeel says that when you place a suture, that is your signature of the surgery. I love that saying, right? And to be fair, from my experiences with suturing, I can definitely do with a helping hand hence why I've come to this sort of episode, I think I can share this with everyone to help you all. In this episode, we're going to cover what are the types of sutures available. If there was one suture,

This week Hackaday Editor-in-Chief Elliot Williams and Managing Editor Tom Nardi look at the week's most interesting stories and projects, starting with the dystopian news that several people have had their bionic eye implants turn off without warning. We then pivot into an only slightly less depressing discussion about the poor security of Apple's AirTags network and how it can be used to track individuals without their knowledge. But it's not all doom and gloom. We'll look at new projects designed to push the envelope of desktop 3D printing, and marvel at a DIY robotic arm build so accurate that it can put stitches in the skin of a grape. You'll also hear about the surprisingly low cost of homebrew hydrophones, the uncomfortable chemistry behind wintergreen, and an early portable computer that looks like it came from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Suturing has a variety of purposes; it helps to quicken the healing process, minimize bleeding, and hold things in place. There are also a number of different categories that sutures fall into, for example, natural, synthetic, resorbable, and non-resorbable. In today's episode, I'm joined by my brother, Dr. Jake Stucki, for a discussion around the basics of suturing, and some of the suturing techniques that are commonly used by oral surgeons. We go through a number of cases that we have personally dealt with, and explain what informed our decisions around the type of suture we used in each case, as well as some of the mistakes we have made along the way!  Key Points From This Episode:Jake shares a few of the reasons that oral surgeons suture. Problems with doing a loose suture.Conclusions from studies that looked at results when suturing was done versus when it wasn't.How oral surgeons generally deal with mandibular compared to maxillary third molar sites. The different categories of suture.Why a surgeon would use a non-resorbable suture.When it is a good idea to use fast-gut.A mistake Grant made when suturing a child with severe autism. Squaring the knot; what this suturing technique entails, and how long it can last if done correctly. How to decide how many knots to place and tips for keeping them tight. Advice for dealing with a very large flap. The benefits of switching sides when suturing.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Dr. Jake Stucki Email — jakestucki@gmail.comDr. Grant Stucki Email — grantstucki@gmail.comDr. Grant Stucki Phone — 720 441 6059

Tuesday, 9 March 2021, 4 – 5pm A talk by Dr Anne M. Mulhall (SLLCS TCD) as part of the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultural Studies Research Seminar Series in association with Trinity Long Room Hub. All webinars take place at 4pm. Presenters speak for a maximum of 45 minutes, followed by a Q&A. Recent workplace fiction and film has tended to focus on two important themes- time and death. Novels like Delphine de Vigan's (France, 2009) Les Heures souterainnes, Katrin Röggla's wir schlafen nicht (Austria, 2004), and films like Corporate (dir. Nicholas Silhol, 2017), all display conjunctions between the two that amount to what she suggests is a new “necrotemporality” of the workplace. Suturing theoretical interventions from Achille Mbembe, Giorgio Agamben, Hannah Arendt, Timothy Morton and Sarah Waters, all of whom have noted a distinctly sado-thanatological impulse within contemporary politics, life and work, to prevailing philosophical and sociological theories of temporality, such as those of Quentin Meillassoux and Catherine Malabou and Robert Hassan. Her talk will define and explore a new concept of workplace necrotemporality. Dr Anne M. Mulhall studied and worked at universities in Ireland, UK, the US and Russia before she joined Trinity in 2020 as Government of Ireland Postdoc Research Fellow. She has authored several articles and a monograph on a French journal of philosophy, entitled Tiqqun and the Event: Literature, Philosophy, Politics.

Oral surgical procedures are performed to treat impacted teeth, difficult tooth extractions, implants, dentures, or other dental prostheses, and each oral surgeon has their own techniques and preferences when it comes to equipment, anesthesia, and patient reports. Today’s guest is, Dr. Eric Blamires, DMD, a Dentistry Practitioner in Colorado Springs, Colorado. In this episode, Eric shares with listeners the lessons and discoveries he has made during his career, including the importance of looking after his own health. He also explains how he relates with patients, how he performs a wisdom tooth extraction, and his views on sutures versus natural healing, as well as gaining insights from other technicians, screws versus tacks, why he uses ketamine, and how he deals with helicopter parents. Tune in today!Key Points From This Episode:What Eric discovered that change his everyday oral care experience – taking care of his health.As a dentist who stands or bends over most of the day, taking care of posture is important.Standing during surgery, reassuring and connecting with patients are part of Eric’s day-to-day.How Eric talks and relates to patients – making personal connections or jokes is valuable.Oral surgeons have a reputation for not being good communicators, because patients are under sedation and procedures are quick.How Eric has changed his surgical techniques or routines during a wisdom tooth extraction.Typically, Eric tries to make every procedure as minimal and conservative as possible.Eric explains the importance of having a good relationship with his dental assistants.Suturing incisions versus letting them heal and minimizing the risk of post-operative infection.Third molars and packing or gel foam – Eric says that he only does so if there is bleeding.Gaining insights from others helps Eric clean up his techniques, but he also works intuitively.With ongoing time and experience, Eric believes he only gets better at placing implants.Eric’s views on screws versus tacks, his preferred surgical equipment, and why he chooses metal.Eric uses the frog in a pot analogy to describe the need for new equipment when what he has been using is no longer working.How Eric handles being aggressively questioned on his technique, like his use of ketamine.Eric’s experience with helicopter parents, and how he deals with them and eases their stress.As a surgeon, Eric has to deal with the stress and anxiety of the procedures, and all he can do is do his absolute best.Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode:Dr. Eric Blamires on LinkedInHow to Win Friends and Influence PeopleKLS MartinSalvin Dental Specialties

Norin Taj discusses her relationship with her homeland (Pakistan) and what it means to immigrate to Canada. She describes her identities and the history of the Muslim values she feels identified with her South Asian culture as two complex and intricate entities that cannot be separated. She believes immigrating to Canada has given her the opportunity to do things she always wanted to do: to continue being an educator and a researcher. Norin also elucidates on the ideas of inequality between public education vs. private elite education in Pakistan. While private education requires high levels of accountability (mainly requested by parents), public education remains to be for poor individuals with little to no accountability and students are referred to as mere numbers on dropout rates. Norin left us pondering with two key questions: Should education focus on numbers/budgets or on actual education for the most marginalized? and how can girls’ education make use of better terms for empowerment? *Biography: Norin Taj is a doctoral candidate in Educational Leadership and Policy with a specialization in Comparative, International and Development Education at OISE. Her research interests are in the global policy discourse on girls’ education and its understanding in the South Asian context, particularly in Pakistan. When not working, she enjoys painting and writing poetry. *Cite this podcast (APA): Ortega, Y. (Producer). (2020, September 30).
