In this episode, Gregory J. Tiesi, MD, FACS, FSSO, hosted a discussion about the growing role for transarterial microperfusion (TAMP) as a regional therapy strategy for patients with locally advanced pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Dr Tiesi is the medical director of Hepatobiliary Surgery at the Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, New Jersey. He was joined by:  Anthony Scholer, MD, FACS, FSSO, a surgical oncologist specializing in hepatobiliary surgery at Hackensack Meridian Medical Group and Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, New Jersey  Eric Pletcher, MD, a surgeon specializing in Complex General Surgical Oncology at Hackensack Meridian JFK University Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey PDAC is a disease in which dense desmoplastic stroma and poor tumor vascularization often limit the effectiveness of standard systemic chemotherapy. Drs Tiesi, Scholer, and Pletcher explained that standard regimens, such as FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine-based combinations, frequently fail to achieve adequate intratumoral drug concentrations because of these biologic barriers. TAMP aims to overcome this limitation by isolating a segment of an arterial vessel and pressure-mediated transvascular delivery, which would allow for higher local drug concentrations and reduce systemic exposure and toxicity. The experts noted that TAMP is currently being explored primarily in patients with locally advanced, unresectable pancreatic cancer without distant metastases, particularly those who have exhausted systemic treatment options but maintain localized disease. Early clinical studies, including the phase 1/2 RR1 trial (NCT02237157) and the observational RR2 dose-escalation study (NCT02591082), demonstrated that the procedure is technically feasible, repeatable, and associated with lower systemic toxicity compared with conventional chemotherapy. A pooled analysis of these studies suggested encouraging survival outcomes, particularly in patients who received prior chemoradiation, potentially because radiation modifies the tumor microenvironment and improves drug penetration. Lastly, Tiesi, Scholer and Pletcher reviewed the ongoing phase 3 TIGeR-PaC trial (NCT03257033), which is evaluating TAMP as a consolidation strategy after induction chemotherapy and radiation. Preliminary data suggest improved survival and substantially fewer serious adverse effects with TAMP vs continued systemic therapy alone. Although the experts cautioned that the approach remains investigational, they agreed that TAMP may provide meaningful local disease control and potentially expand treatment options and preserve quality of life for patients with this aggressive malignancy.

Today's episode explores a growing issue in both dentistry and public health: microplastics and nanoplastics, often called MNPs. What are micro- and nanoplastics? Microplastics are tiny plastic particles smaller than 5 millimeters, while nanoplastics are even smaller—less than 1 micrometer. These particles are now found everywhere in the environment, including water, air, soil, and even inside the human body. Researchers have already detected them in blood, lungs, placenta, breast milk, and stool. Plastics contain over 13,000 chemicals, and thousands of these substances may be harmful to human health, including carcinogens, endocrine disruptors, and neurotoxic compounds. Why does this matter for dentistry? Dentistry is both a source and pathway of exposure to micro- and nanoplastics. Several common dental materials and devices release these particles, including: Resin-based composite fillings Clear aligners and orthodontic appliances Prosthetic materials like dentures Impression materials used for dental molds These materials can release microplastics through wear, degradation, polishing, and everyday use. Oral care products as another source Daily oral hygiene products also contribute to exposure. Examples include: Toothpastes Toothbrushes Dental floss Mouthwashes Over time, these products can release small plastic particles that may be ingested or inhaled, leading to chronic exposure. Possible effects on oral health Research suggests that micro- and nanoplastics may affect the oral environment in several ways, including: Irritation of oral tissues Disruption of the oral microbiome Damage to oral cells Potential genotoxic effects Some studies also suggest that long-term exposure could contribute to oral cancer, although more research is needed. Systemic health concerns Because these particles are so small, they can cross biological barriers and spread throughout the body. Experimental studies show they may cause: Oxidative stress Inflammation Immune system disruption Hormonal interference Microbiome imbalance Potential effects on fertility, brain health, and development Microplastics can also act as carriers for other environmental toxins, which may increase their harmful effects. Awareness and regulation Despite the growing evidence, the review highlights that clinical awareness in dentistry is still limited, and regulatory oversight remains insufficient. Many dental professionals may not yet consider microplastic release when selecting materials or products. Want to see more of The Holistic Dentistry Show? Watch our episodes on YouTube!

"Hormones—what is the deal with them?"In this special solo episode, Dr. Rachel Pope pulls back the curtain on the world of hormone therapy (HT). While we know that hormones are vital for cardiovascular health, bone density, and quality of life, there is still so much the medical community is uncovering about the "perfect" dose and duration for the average woman.Dr. Pope gets personal in this episode, sharing her own recent experience with perimenopausal symptoms—from heart palpitations to her first-ever migraine—and how tracking her cycle led her to a life-changing realization about estrogen fluctuations.In this episode, we break down: The "Extreme" Ends of Menopause: Why early menopause (POI) and late menopause both carry significant health risks and what they teach us about the power of estrogen. Hormone Breakdown: What do Estradiol, Progesterone, and Testosterone actually do for your sleep, mood, anxiety, and libido? Systemic vs. Topical: Why a patch might help your hot flashes, but you might still need a cream or ring for vaginal and bladder health. The Perimenopause "Storm": How the week before your period reveals the first signs of hormonal decline (and why you might not need a million different medications to fix it). The Safety Debate: A candid look at the Women's Health Initiative data, breast cancer risks, and why Dr. Pope isn't "batting an eye" at low-dose transdermal estrogen for healthy women. The DEXA Scan Dilemma: Why waiting until age 65 for a bone density scan might be too late, and why Dr. Pope advocates for earlier screening.Key Takeaways: You are an individual: There is no "one size fits all" for how long you should stay on hormones. It requires a yearly conversation with your doctor to weigh your unique risks vs. benefits. Prevention is key: Hormone therapy isn't just about stopping hot flashes; it's about protecting your heart, brain, and bones for the long haul. It's not the "Fountain of Youth": While hormones are underutilized, they aren't a cure-all. Balanced medical care still means addressing mental health and lifestyle alongside HRT.Are you curious if your symptoms are "just aging" or actually perimenopause?

Women were were excluded from federally funded medical research until 1993. Health journalist Meghan Rabbitt interviewed over 100 female experts to create a manifesto for women's healthcare everything from why we're still learning anatomy named after dead men to why your gynecologic history affects your heart disease risk decades later.Meghan is a health journalist who's been translating complex medical topics into accessible language for 25 years. She's spent her career asking doctors the questions patients want answered and helping women understand their bodies better. When Maria Shriver asked her to write a manifesto about women's healthcare, even with all that experience, she was shocked by what she learned. Women weren't included in federally funded medical research until 1993. Autoimmune diseases disproportionately affect women, but we still don't know why. Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined, yet awareness is declining.We talk about what it means to become the CEO of your own healthcare and why that mindset matters. Meghan shares practical strategies for making the most of short doctor visits and navigating the flood of health information online. We discuss why shame keeps women from getting care, why we need to stop normalizing pain, and how perimenopause can be a window of opportunity instead of something to fear. The conversation covers everything from why your pregnancy complications matter for heart health decades later to why medical devices are still designed without women's bodies in mind.HighlightsMost doctors don't proactively discuss lifetime breast cancer risk with patients.70% of autoimmune disease patients are female, but research is severely underfunded.Anatomical eponyms like "fallopian tubes" actually increase cognitive load for medical students.Making a prioritized symptom list before appointments helps maximize limited doctor visit time.80% of the 10 million Americans with osteoporosis are women.Gynecologic history like preeclampsia impacts heart disease risk decades later.Start thinking of yourself as the CEO of your own healthcare. That means educating yourself, showing up to appointments with a prioritized list of what matters most to you, and stopping the apologizing. Your body isn't something to be ashamed of. Your symptoms aren't an inconvenience. If you're a woman of color facing additional barriers in the healthcare system, bring someone with you to appointments who can advocate alongside you.Make sure to subscribe to the podcast and share this episode with any woman who needs permission to stop normalizing pain and start demanding better care.Get in Touch with Meghan:WebsiteInstagramSubstackLinkedInGet in Touch with Me: WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstack

Industrial systems are responsible for 75% of global emissions, yet only a quarter of climate-focused VC money flows into them. Not because investors don't care — but because these systems are hard. They're interconnected. Capital-intensive. Slow-moving. Technically dense. And deeply under-innovated.Almanac Ventures is built to change that.In this episode of the EUVC Podcast, Andreas Munk Holm sits down with Jo Slota-Newson and Marc Sabas, co-founders of Almanac Ventures — a new European seed and pre-seed deep tech fund laser-focused on unlocking decarbonisation in industrial systems through scientific breakthroughs and commercial discipline.This is a pitch episode — a chance for the EUVC LP & GP community to hear directly what Almanac stands for, how they invest, and why the next decade of industrial innovation will be shaped by specialist deep tech funds with true scientific and financial edge.Here's what's covered:00:49 | What Almanac Ventures is — a European seed/pre-seed deep-tech fund backing scientific breakthroughs applied to industrial systems01:31 | The founding team — Jo's nanoscience PhD + 18 years commercialising deep tech, Marc's finance → CVC → impact VC journey (and Jo's 37km Channel swim)03:52 | The complementary edge — technical rigor meets financial/commercial structuring, evidenced through 45 investments and a 2.3× MOIC track record05:22 | The industrial innovation gap — 75% of emissions come from industry, yet only ~25% of climate VC targets it (because the systems are hard, complex, and interconnected)06:11 | Why industry is ripe for deep-tech disruption — 20th-century inefficiencies, high value pools, and the need for performance + cost + decarb together10:17 | “Deep tech works for venture—if you know where to look” — how to identify capex-efficient, scalable industrial technologies vs. science projects that need different capital12:25 | Case study: Hot Green — a new compressor architecture enabling industrial heat pumps for 200–400°C processes (F&B, manufacturing) with electrification upside13:49 | Case study: ReClinker — Cambridge spinout recycling cement inside steel arc furnaces, piggybacking heat, removing the CO₂-heavy chemistry step15:19 | Do you need to be an operator to invest in deep tech? — why complementary experience (science + venture + corporate + some ops) beats any single “must-have”18:35 | Investment strategy — first-check investor at TRL 4–7, pan-Europe, €300k–€1M tickets, aiming for a 25–30 company portfolio with follow-on capacity

Being fair to everyone is never easy. Allowing the guilty to self incriminate usually works best. This shows History requires us to occasionally step back and stare. SCOTUS lawyer Goldstein indicted under tax charges. Why him? Today's rollout is a shout above the chaos. This stuff happens all the time. 14 million of gambling debts. Systemic corruption erodes credibility. Clarity isn't appreciated until it's shown. Pattern recognition, real documentation and memory. Selecting angles, characters and plot finale. This is the state of the media. Emotion compression and clickable outrage. The degrading process that uses bimbo's. The infrustructure of communications is key. Why they are NOT a neutral bystander. Turning legal rights into a political strategy. How the court's infrastructure works. Why are all these fed employees hating on Trump. Is this just procedural opposition? The Minneapolis protests have an managing infrastructure. Screening, travel routes, background checks and license plate data bases are included. This is NOT spontaneous activism. They are using license plate recognition systems. Who has access to Hilton Hotel information? The post ayatollah era. The young and innocent know not what they do. It's called treason.

In this episode of the Healing You Method podcast, we explore systemic healing and the hidden forces that shape our lives across generations. We dive into how unspoken family loyalties, unconscious agreements, and ancestral patterns can keep us stuck even when we don't fully understand why. Through the lens of family systems and systemic healing, this conversation looks at how generational trauma is passed down, how pain and love coexist in family lines, and what creates resolution when words are no longer enough. We discuss family constellations, ancestral healing, and the subtle movements that allow life to flow again instead of repeating old cycles. If you've ever felt bound by patterns that don't feel entirely yours, this episode offers insight into healing inherited pain with awareness, grace, and depth.

In this episode of The International Risk Podcast, Dominic Bowen speaks with Professor Tim Lang about food security as a systemic risk embedded within highly interdependent global supply, trade, and governance networks. The conversation explores how deeply integrated supply chains, energy dependency, trade regimes, and regulation shape national food resilience in an era of climate volatility and geopolitical disruption.Find out more about how efficiency-driven “just-in-time” models prioritised cost reduction over redundancy, leaving food systems exposed to cascading shocks. The discussion explores how export controls, regulatory divergence, and concentrated supply chains redistribute risk rather than contain it, and why national governments remain accountable for outcomes they no longer fully control.The episode also examines the tension between sovereignty and shared governance, particularly within the EU, and considers whether existing risk assessment tools are calibrated for systemic disruption rather than isolated supply failures.Finally, the conversation turns to civil preparedness and strategic exposure: whether food is treated as critical infrastructure, how geopolitical competition is reshaping access to staples and inputs, and which indicators policymakers should monitor as climate stress and political fragmentation intensify pressures on global food governance.Tell us what you liked!

I was recently given the opportunity to step into some volunteer work at Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Seattle. While I suspected I would find this work meaningful and enjoyable, I didn't expect to be so overwhelmingly impressed with every aspect of the Cristo Rey mission and how their work is setting up students to be incredible leaders from such a young age.  As this work has quickly become very near and dear to my heart, I thought it would be fun to have a different kind of leadership conversation here on the show.  I asked Katie Seltzer, the Vice President of Corporate Work Study at Cristo Rey, to join me.   Katie Seltzer leads the expansion of Cristo Rey's signature (and truly exceptional) Corporate Work Study Program. In her role, Katie nurtures strategic partnerships with employers, ensuring students gain meaningful, real-world professional experience while earning toward the cost of their education. She is committed to preparing students from limited economic means for success in college and career through intentional mentorship, professional development, and high-expectation work placements.  Katie's journey with Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle began as Feasibility Study Director, helping assess and mobilize support for the school's launch in Seattle. In 2022, she relocated to Seattle to lead the foundational work of opening the new Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, collaborating with volunteers, donors, business leaders, families, and community leaders to bring the mission to open its doors in 2024. She holds a Master's degree from both Harvard Divinity School and Harvard's Graduate School. Originally from the East Coast, she calls Queen Anne home now with her husband and six-year-old son. Listen in to hear Katie share: How she connects her family's three generations of educational values to her work, impact, and service today Her commitment to expanding equitable outcomes and what that looks like in action in her current VP role Cristo Rey's unique educational model built on service, mentorship, and sponsorship What it looks like when work and leadership opportunities are integrated into high school education programming The significance of providing a culture of belonging in Fortune 500 companies for young people who commonly face barriers to belonging A systems thinking approach to leadership legacy that layers youth leadership, educational leadership, and organizational leadership The power of dismantling systemic barriers to provide opportunity and advancement in your community and workplaces Links Mentioned: Watch the Cristo Rey Draft Day 2025 video: https://www.cristoreyseattle.org/corporate-work-study/cws-draft-day-2025 Learn more about Cristo Rey Jesuit Seattle: cristoreyseattle.org Learn more about the Cristo Rey Network: cristoreynetwork.org Connect with Katie on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katie-seltzer Hire Sara to speak: saradean.com/speaking Coach with Sara: https://saradean.com/executive-coaching-services Connect with Sara on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/saradeanspeaks Watch Shameless Leadership episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@saradeanspeaks Learn more about your ad choices.

What happens when the people leading your organization are silently falling apart — and no one has a system in place to help them? Psychologist and author Melissa Doman returns to Transform Your Workplace to pull back the curtain on one of the most overlooked conversations in the workplace: leadership mental health. In her new book Cornered Office: Why We Need to Talk About Leadership Mental Health, Melissa makes the case that leaders have been conditioned — by biology, sociology, culture, and centuries of expectation — to hide their emotional struggles. And that silence? It's costing organizations their best people. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who leads, works with, or aspires to lead — because the cost of ignoring this conversation is far greater than the discomfort of having it.

Across the Bay Area, young people—especially youth of color from historically underinvested communities—are coming of age in a moment defined by deep inequities, rapid economic change, and profound social challenges. While the region boasts immense wealth and innovation, it also holds some of the nation's starkest disparities in housing, education, health and opportunity. Our young people are growing up in the shadow of systems that too often overlook their brilliance. Yet we know the truth: these young people are not problems to be solved, they are leaders waiting to be unleashed.  This conversation with Regina Jackson is not just about a book—it's about a blueprint for closing that gap, for building a region where every young person can rise, lead, and thrive. And she says the urgency is real: The choices we make in this decade will shape our youths' opportunities for a lifetime.Youth in communities like East Oakland, Bayview-Hunters Point, and Richmond often face: Displacement and loss of cultural anchors due to gentrification Limited access to mentorship and leadership pathways that reflect their identities and lived experiences Systemic inequities in education, economic mobility, and civic influence At the same time, these youth carry extraordinary resilience, creativity and leadership potential. But potential alone is not enough—it must be recognized, nurtured and resourced to thrive. Without intentional investment and support, do we risk losing a generation's capacity to lead us toward a more equitable future? About the Speakers Regina Jackson's work at the East Oakland Youth Development Center has transformed thousands of lives by combining mentorship, cultural pride, academic readiness, and civic engagement. She is the author of the new book Unleashed Potential: How Youth Lead the Way to a Stronger Future, which distills decades of wisdom into actionable guidance for leaders, educators, parents and policymakers.  Fred Blackwell and the San Francisco Foundation have made advancing racial equity and economic inclusion core to their mission, championing systemic change that aligns directly with Jackson's vision.

AOC goes viral. Conservative Twitter melts down. And almost no one bothering to scream about it actually understands what she said.This clip is me walking through the language the left actually uses, because if you don't understand how they define their terms, you don't understand anything they're doing.The entire controversy revolves around one word: whiteness.Conservatives heard “whiteness” and translated it into skin color. That is not how the modern left uses the term. In leftist theory, whiteness is tied to private property ownership. That's the foundation. The left defines capitalism as private property ownership. Everything else flows from that.In their framework:* Capitalism created racial hierarchy through the ownership of human beings as property.* “White” became the category associated with the ownership class.* “Black” became the category associated with the owned class.* Racism is understood as a systemic byproduct of that property structure.* Systemic racism is the continuation of that structure.You don't have to agree with it. I don't. But if you're going to fight something, you should at least know what it is.Decode The Left with Karlyn Borysenko is a reader-supported publication.

The DHS warning about Kouri Richins isn't just about her case. It's about what we're missing.America's autopsy rate has collapsed to 8.5%, with natural-looking deaths autopsied just 4.3% of the time. Death certificates are wrong roughly a third of the time. The January 2026 Department of Homeland Security bulletin documented seventeen spousal poisoning cases since 2014 with at least eleven deaths — substances like cyanide, antifreeze, fentanyl, and common eye drops all chosen because they mimic natural illness. DHS specifically cited Richins' upcoming trial as part of this accelerating national pattern.This episode examines three convicted spousal poisoners — James Craig, Lana Clayton, and Stacey Castor — who each nearly escaped detection, and connects their cases to the Richins trial and the systemic failures that let poisoners walk free. The system didn't catch any of them. A person did every time.Richins is charged with aggravated murder in the 2022 fentanyl death of her husband Eric in Kamas, Utah. Prosecutors allege she spiked his cocktail with five times the lethal amount after a failed attempt on Valentine's Day two weeks earlier. The alleged motive: her realty company owed at least $1.8 million while Eric's estate was worth roughly $5 million.The defense says publicity has poisoned the jury pool beyond repair. Judge Richard Mrazik disagreed, denying their second venue change motion after prosecutors pointed to 830 potential jurors who hadn't heard of the case or hadn't followed it. What makes this case so well-known isn't media coverage — it's the allegations themselves. A children's book about grief. A six-page jailhouse letter allegedly laying out fabricated testimony. A drug source who now says under oath he never sold fentanyl at all.Kouri Richins has pleaded not guilty and is presumed innocent. Trial begins February 23rd.#KouriRichins #HiddenKillers #SpousalPoisoning #DHSWarning #AutopsyCrisis #JamesCraig #LanaClayton #StaceyCastor #EricRichins #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Otolaryngologist Alan P. Feren discusses his article "How system strain contributes to medical gaslighting in health care." Alan explores why encounters that patients experience as dismissive or manipulative often stem from communication breakdowns driven by productivity pressures rather than clinician malice. He examines the cognitive reality of modern practice where heuristic shortcuts and a discomfort with uncertainty lead well-intentioned providers to offer premature reassurance that feels like invalidation. The conversation highlights critical inflection points like early interruptions and reliance on "normal" test results that erode trust and delay diagnosis. Alan argues that resolving this crisis requires moving beyond blame toward a partnership model where uncertainty is explicitly named and shared.

If we want to fix food, we have to fix the institutions shaping what our kids eat every day. Public schools are effectively the largest restaurant chain in America, serving 30 million children. For many of them, school meals account for half of their daily calories. And yet, a majority of those calories still come from ultra-processed food. On this episode of The Dr. Hyman Show, I sit down with Nora LaTorre, CEO of Eat Real, to talk about why the school cafeteria may be the most powerful lever we have to reverse the childhood health crisis—and why change is already happening faster than most people think. Watch the full conversation on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts. Today we discuss: • Why school food policy affects your family • How removing added sugar from school menus can change focus, behavior, and long-term health • Why school lunch participation rises when districts upgrade to real food • How changing school procurement reshapes local farms and food systems • What you can do as a parent to influence your district In less than two years, Eat Real–partnered districts are proving that real food can scale across red states, blue states, rural communities, and major cities. When procurement changes, farms change, and when menus change, our children have a better chance to thrive.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Bamidele Farinre Founder of No Ceiling Consulting, a biomedical scientist, STEM expert, agile project manager, and advocate for professional development, mentorship, and removing internal and systemic limitations (“ceilings”). They discuss her STEM background, the evolving role of AI in science, the meaning of “no ceilings,” navigating personal and professional barriers, mentorship, setbacks, agile leadership, and how individuals—especially people of color—can create opportunity even in the face of bias and structural limitations.
