BUFFALO, NY - June 13, 2025 – A new #review was #published in Volume 16 of Oncotarget on June 4, 2025, titled “Applying the unattainable triangle in cardio-oncology care: Balancing cost, quality, and time.” In this review, first author John Hoverson, corresponding author Stella Pak, and colleagues from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio explore how the “unattainable triangle”—a business concept describing the trade-offs between cost, quality, and time—can help improve healthcare delivery in cardio-oncology. As cancer treatments become more complex and often affect the heart, this model highlights the challenge of providing care that is fast, effective, and affordable. Cardio-oncology is an emerging field focused on preventing and managing heart problems caused by cancer therapies. The review explains that high-quality cancer care often requires advanced diagnostics and close collaboration between oncologists and cardiologists, which can drive up costs and time demands. Understanding how to balance these pressures is essential for delivering better outcomes for patients. Many cancer survivors face long-term cardiovascular complications due to their treatment. Early monitoring and intervention can reduce these risks. However, these improvements often come with financial burdens, especially when key tests are not covered by insurance. Meanwhile, both patients and clinicians must manage the burden of tight appointment schedules, long clinic visits, and increasing demands on their time. To improve care quality, the authors emphasize the need for interdisciplinary teamwork and ongoing education. Surveys show that many clinicians are still unfamiliar with cardio-oncology guidelines, which can compromise care. The review also highlights the potential for artificial intelligence and digital tools to streamline care delivery, reduce wait times, and support both patients and providers. Importantly, the authors point out that improving one area—such as quality—can come at the expense of others, like cost or time. They encourage healthcare systems to take a balanced approach, setting clear goals and using integrated care models that consider all three elements of the triangle together. “While a perfect model for managing the unattainable triangle may be simply that, ‘unattainable', investments in research, patient-centered care, data-driven decision-making, and financial alignment with payers will be crucial to the long-term success of both patient outcomes and the organization's profitability.” While achieving perfect balance may be difficult, the review suggests that using the unattainable triangle as a guiding framework can help hospitals and clinicians make smarter, more sustainable decisions. As cardio-oncology continues to expand in response to the growing number of cancer survivors with cardiovascular needs, this approach could help improve patient outcomes and strengthen healthcare systems.

You're doing everything right. You're on hormones, you've cut the caffeine, maybe you've even bought one of those expensive sleep trackers. So why are you still waking up at 3am, wired and restless?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Andrea Matsumura—board-certified sleep physician and women's health specialist—to finally unpack why sleep is such a persistent struggle for women, especially during perimenopause and menopause. Andrea breaks down the biological, psychological, and cultural reasons why women are conditioned to expect poor sleep—and why it doesn't have to be that way.We talk melatonin myths (the dose matters), the silent epidemic of undiagnosed sleep apnea in women, and why most wearables are only telling part of the story. Andrea also explains why cannabis, supplements, and even hormone therapy may help—but won't fix the root cause for many women.Plus, we get into the real reason cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) actually works—if you're willing to do the work—and how the entire medical system is failing women by ignoring gender-specific data in sleep studies and diagnostics.If you're tired of being tired and want real, practical answers—not just another supplement or influencer sleep hack—this conversation is for you.HighlightsWhy hormone therapy helps some women sleep—but not all.How sleep apnea presents differently in women and often goes undiagnosed.The truth about melatonin: why most people take the wrong dose at the wrong time.Cannabis and sleep: what the research really shows.Why CBT-I is the gold standard for insomnia (and why apps alone aren't enough).Do you like what you heard?

Is your thyroid really to blame for weight gain?

Today we're going to learn about a "miracle molecule" called Nitric Oxide and why it is vital for our health - as well as how to prevent losing it from your body - in our interview with Dr Nathan S Bryan. Dr Bryan's new book The Secret of Nitric Oxide Bringing the Science to Life is now available and represents his life's work in researching and educating about nitric oxide. As we age, nitric oxide production decreases due to a breakdown in an enzyme in our blood vessels. That's significant, because loss of nitric oxide production is recognized as the earliest event in the onset and progression of most if not all chronic diseases, including the number 1 killer of men and women worldwide, cardiovascular disease. Poor blood flow is also linked to conditions like reduced cognitive function and impotency. In this interview you'll learn: What is nitric oxide? Why is it important that we maintain healthy levels in or body? How can we maintain healthy levels of nitric oxide in our body? Where can people go for more information? About Author, Nathan S. Bryan, Ph.D.:  Dr. Nathan S. Bryan is an author and biomedical scientist of nitric oxide. He earned his undergraduate Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from the University of Texas at Austin and his doctoral degree from Louisiana State University School of Medicine in Shreveport. He pursued his post-doctoral training as a Kirschstein Fellow at Boston University School of Medicine in the Whitaker Cardiovascular Institute. After a two-year post-doctoral fellowship, Dr. Bryan joined the faculty at the University of Texas Health Science Center. During his tenure as faculty and independent investigator at UT, his research focused on drug discovery through screening natural product libraries for active compounds. His nine years at UT led to several discoveries which have resulted in over a dozen issued US and international patents and many more pending worldwide.  For more information visit www.nathansbook.com and n101nutrition.com/ Also check out Dr Bryan's YouTube channel here.

Ruba brings a wealth of corporate strategy expertise, and a track record enabling successful device commercialization and market access. All right. Welcome to the show, Ruba. I'm so excited to talk with you today. [00:02:16] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: Thank you very much, Lindsey. I'm excited to be here. I appreciated the invite. [00:02:19] Lindsey Dinneen: Sure. Oh, absolutely. I'm so glad we got connected. So I was wondering if you could start by telling us just a little bit about yourself and your background and maybe what led you to medtech. [00:02:32] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: So, I mean, I've spent the last 20 years working explicitly and specifically focused on medtech, dedicated to commercialization of really cool technologies that have a profound impact on patients' lives. And I'm grateful for the opportunity this career gave me to work on some really disruptive technologies and collaborate with some brilliant minds across the industry. I had a front row seat to seeing how the incredible impact to the medtech industry can have on transforming healthcare. So what brought me into it, I initially wanted to go to med school, like a lot of people. I covered all of the basics and then graduated. And then, I was doing preclinical research at UT Southwestern Medical Center. And I completed all the requirements for pre med the summer before, took the MCATs, did all of it. The summer before I was supposed to start, decided I had a soft heart and that may not be the best decision. And so there was a moment there of, I'm going to start with research and kind of see where I go. And ended up working with a lot of reps and connected with a lot of people within the medical device industry. So I started looking for jobs 'cause it felt like the perfect opportunity with the intent that the pre med thing was this sincerely and authentically with a focus on wanting to help patients, right? And the beautiful opportunity med device provided me is that it enabled me to do that without the risks and consequences tied to direct patient care. That soft empathy piece or the super empathy piece on mine wasn't at risk from that standpoint. So I was doing research at UT Southwestern in the physiology department, interacting and engaging from a folks working on trials perspective and then medical devices that were being used at that medical center and then started applying for jobs within medtech. Took one managing preclinical research way back when at Orthofix, transitioned and got promoted to running clinical affairs there, and then got promoted again and managed clinical affairs, government affairs, health economics outcomes, research and reimbursement for that organization. And that was a really long time ago and then moved into different career roles from there. But that's the story on that one. [00:04:52] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh, that's incredible. So, okay. So let's bring it up to present day, and you are doing some fractional work and I know that you have, I'm sure quite a full schedule just in looking at your LinkedIn profile. I could see that you're extremely active in many avenues and I just love to hear some of what you're up to these days. [00:05:13] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: So I'm currently leading market access strategy and advising for a diagnostics company called RizLab Health, and they have a portable hemo analyzer that's really focused on enabling access for patients with the greatest healthcare disparities, which is really cool. I'm the managing partner for MediStrat360, so it's a consulting firm hyper focused on just medical device and accelerating that journey from concept to market for disruptive groundbreaking medical devices. So those are the two things that I'm currently focused on, and then I have some senior advising positions for quality regulatory and clinical for a couple of additional companies, one that's focused on sleep apnea devices. And that one's under an NDA. And then another diagnostics company. So I've got four fractional-- with RizLabs is to focus on device commercialization, go to market strategy. And then the focus for some of the other ones very much centered around regulatory clinical quality. [00:06:13] Lindsey Dinneen: Okay. Yeah. So, so with that you mentioned that you were doing this preclinical research and decided to switch gears a little bit. And now you've got such a, an amazing breadth of skill sets and experience and expertise. And I'm kind of wondering, within medtech, what was the journey like to learning, all these different aspects that now you are such an expert in. For example, say regulatory. [00:06:43] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: I think for me, because you don't see that often, you see a lot of folks that start in one specific area with respect to medtech, and they develop a pretty comprehensive depth in that area over the span of 20 years. I would argue that I've had an extraordinary career and that has not been my journey. And that has not been my journey mainly because I took roles within companies that were either smaller or midsize, and there was always a willingness to proactively volunteer, not even volunteer, but proactively volunteer, raise my hand when people left or when certain gaps existed that needed to be filled, and then proactively choosing to look at issues that were going on within an organization more holistically outside of my department. So just because my roles and responsibilities said I covered clinical didn't change the fact that I paid attention to a dynamic that said, there are reimbursement challenges that are happening. One, we were getting coverage and pushback from an insurance company tied to certain devices, engaging with an industry coalition to try and get some of those policies overturned, and recognizing that the information that I gained as a result of that experience identified certain gaps for the evidence portfolio for clinical affairs. So how did that happen? I think that happened because I had a habit of, I'm choosing to pay attention to what the organization needed and choosing to see the links for the existing roles and responsibilities that I had, and how they bridged across the organization. And then being proactive, quite frankly, about when I was really dedicated to every company I worked for and readily dedicated to the mission that they had and choosing to take roles that I may not have been ready for or may not have had full core competencies for in an effort to support that organization. So in a lot of cases I took it on and I was, I became an obsession and I learned everything I could and I addressed certain gaps by bringing in additional expertise with the intent that we still got the organization's mission accomplished in spite of the deficiencies or gaps or turnover that was going on. [00:08:59] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. Yeah, that's incredible. I love that. You have been so curious and eager to learn and willing to step outside your roles and responsibilities and seek to understand what the organization needs. I'm sure that really helps now with your consulting work, because you're probably way better able to, and equipped to, find those gaps that you mentioned in a company's strategy or whatnot. And so I, what a strength to be able to bring that breadth of knowledge. [00:09:34] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: It's interesting when clients approach me about a dynamic that says, "We have this challenge." It is a prism where that challenge ties to different additional facets of the organization or facets of their market commercialization strategy. So we end up providing value and feedback that's not only solving the problem they came to us with, but providing recommendations that have an impact across different facets within that organization or within that product commercialization strategy. And I'm telling you it's, it is, that is one, I would argue, differentiating value prop that I bring to the table on the consulting side is offering that feedback where it's not it's not one sided. It's got depth to it and it touches different dimensions because we're not looking at it just within the scope of the problem as it's presented. [00:10:23] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. That's awesome. That's great. That's something very unique to be able to offer. And so, you know, that curiosity and growth mindset, willingness to fill in the gaps and figure out how to, where did that come from? Have you always been a very sort of curious, eager to learn, lifelong learner type individual, or is that something you developed over time? [00:10:50] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: Both, I'll say both. The lifelong learner piece, definitely a part of my personality my whole life, one. Two, I will also say I was lucky in having some phenomenal mentors and strategic leaders that drove that value and the importance of that value, and enforcing us to see the bigger picture and think more holistically. And so I started out with that as part of who I am. And then on top of that, it was further reinforced by having some fantastic leaders that I was lucky enough to work with and for that emphasized the importance of that. [00:11:24] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah. And, you've mentioned having some amazing leaders that were in positions to really help mentor and guide and lead. And I'm wondering, what are some of the most impactful pieces of advice that you've received from leaders that you look up to and or now as accomplished leader yourself, what do you see as being some of the best pieces of leadership advice? [00:11:54] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: So I'm gonna I'm gonna share with you some of my favorites on what makes a good leader and things to pay attention to as a good leader. So to me, anybody who's trying to explore a leadership role within medtech-- it's to everything we just talked about-- it's unbelievably important to choose to see beyond the expected. So have a deep understanding. If you're a project manager for R&D and you want to get promoted to, you want to move up the ladder, you having a deep understanding of the technical aspects of medical device is important, but it's just as important to cultivate a deep understanding of not only the technical, but the technical and business aspects. So the willingness to learn beyond the scope that you are assigned to, the willingness to recognize the importance of strategic thinking, is really important from a leadership standpoint. Additional aspects that are important with respect to strategic thinking, don't be afraid to voice ideas, but be strategic about how and when you do that. So navigating a leadership role to me really requires developing a good acumen on knowing when to assert your ideas and when to hold back, learning how to read different situations and understand the dynamics at play. I think some of the most important advice I was ever given was that we all, especially when you join a new organization, we all have a proclivity for wanting to prove our value or demonstrate our value as soon as possible. And some of the best advice I've given that I've passed along is to be strategic, is to be really good about proactively recognizing when it's a good opportunity for you to do that. And when you're better off holding back and listening and observing and understanding the dynamics of play and choosing your moments wisely on when you make impactful contributions, right? Doing that, you maximize the effectiveness of the input you provide and the influence that you end up having and sometimes holding back initially, choosing to observe and listen gives you insights that better inform your strategy for what to do or how to do it. Building a network is also really important. That's another really good piece of leadership advice. We tend to keep our head down. Early on in my career, I definitely did that. I treat networking and the relationship management as a mandatory part of the job with roles I've had where I'm within an organization and outside of that. So I think that part is unbelievably important for leadership and success. And it's not just the creating a network offers job opportunities. It's creating a network offers opportunities to seek advice and to learn and to stay plugged in from an industry standpoint. So continuous learning is about being proactive and seeking those opportunities to challenge my current thinking, quite frankly, and expand my horizons from that standpoint. [00:14:57] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Oh my goodness. That was so much great advice. Thank you for sharing all of that. I think even the first thing you said, I really appreciated about, see beyond the expected. And I think that's such, I have never heard it put quite like that before, and I really like that of your willingness to go beyond your scope, so that you keep learning and I like your idea of continuing to even challenge your own beliefs and thoughts and processes. All those things. If you can keep doing that, then you're growing, you're learning, you can't stay stagnant that way. So yeah, I appreciate that advice a lot. [00:15:38] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: One, to be clear, it comes from tons of mistakes made and lessons learned over a couple of decades for starting out in a technical role and a technical career. Those are common mistakes I see made, which is you're presenting to management on a project update, and the tendency for us technical folks, for people that started their careers out in science, is to very much focus on the technical aspects of what are going on without taking into account how that information is being presented, the impact that it's having on the politics and the different players in the room and their intent. So it's choosing to see things in a different light than the way that you're used to processing them is very important. Strategic thinking. It's different. [00:16:27] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. And being willing, like you said, to look beyond and to approach things in a different way and maybe take a step back sometimes. Say, "Okay, I need to keep observing before I dive in with my solutions." [00:16:43] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: Well, and take stretch rules. I think that's the other thing from a career development. Nobody owns your career. You own that. And If you love medtech, if you love whatever your profession may be, if your goal is advancement and leadership positions within that, but then that profession or that role, it's recognizing that you have to learn other things beyond just R&D if your goal is to manage a division or manage a sector . So I think, it's saying you're going to fulfill your roles and responsibilities and focus on accomplishing those goals, but be selfish about raising your hand for stretch opportunities that provide you exposure to other areas and dimensions of medtech that are outside of your scope, right? With the intent that you're getting that exposure is unbelievably important. [00:17:32] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yes, I could not agree more. One thing that I noticed from just looking at your LinkedIn profile is you are very passionate about a lot of issues facing our society, our community. And, I saw some speaking opportunities and things where you focus on women's empowerment and whatnot. And I was wondering if you might share a little bit about your passions outside of work that do speak to it. So even with women's empowerment, encouraging women in the medtech field and whatnot, because we have listeners who might really appreciate some of your perspective and advice on that. Would you be willing to share? [00:18:14] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: Yeah, I mean, absolutely. Let's be very frank and transparent. I'm a woman that's been predominantly working in a male industry, and I've had some wonderful experiences, but I've also been granted some wonderful obstacles that tested my resilience and determination. I learned over time to see those challenges as an opportunity to strengthen my resolve and even my commitment. And so to me, a few pieces of advice to empower women as they navigate their own paths in leadership is to embrace your unique perspective. I think as women, we bring diverse experiences and insights to the table. And we should never underestimate the value of that viewpoint that we bring as women, right? Early in my career, and I've run into a lot of women that feel this pressure, to posture, to present themselves with a set of characteristics that are more akin to male dominated characteristics versus owning their executive presence, and recognizing the value they bring in authenticity for presenting who they are authentically and not underestimating the value of their own viewpoint versus others complying with the mass or succumbing to the pressure. So I think it's unbelievably important to honor and respect and embrace that unique perspective that you bring as a woman, trusting your instincts and not being afraid to voice your ideas. But again, unbelievably important to be strategic about when you choose to do that. And that piece of advice applies across both. And I think women have a tendency to coming into, especially high level, higher level management roles, a desire to want to prove our worth and prove we have a seat at the table. You have earned the right to sit at that table by default of the fact that you have been offered the job and you have it. Be smart, strategic about when and how you choose to weigh in, recognizing the politics at that same table, right? Is important. And then advocating for yourself and others to the point that you made about, I do quite a bit of speaking. I am on a mission to drive transformative technologies within healthcare. I'm also on a secondary mission to enable an increase in the number of extraordinary women and their commitment to that mission, right? So advocacy, empowerment, education, training on communications and engagement for women is a focus and how I choose to spend my time with the intent that I sincerely believe the more women that you have, more women and more diversity, quite frankly, that you can have in medtech, the better devices and the higher the impact that you can have with respect to innovation in medtech and an impact that MedTech can have on healthcare. So to me, that is a focus. [00:21:10] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Well, and I very much appreciate your perspective and your willingness to share about it. And the fact that this is a mission for you. So, thank you for continuing to support and elevate women in medtech, 'cause it's a need. And to your point, I appreciate you saying that women bring a unique perspective. And so that can be your superpower and you don't need to shrink. [00:21:37] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: 100 percent and authenticity, Lindsey. I think women bring a unique perspective and value the power of authenticity. Resist the urge to position or posture or present yourself as "A" because you believe that "A" is what they want to see. There is unbelievable power in an executive presence of a woman leader that is authentic in the way she presents herself. [00:22:07] Lindsey Dinneen: Yes, could not agree more. Yeah, so, your career has been so interesting and I love the running theme of you being willing to continue to learn and grow and step out of the current role so that you can fill in the gaps. And I'm wondering if there are any moments that stand out to you where it just made you go, "Wow, I am really in the right place, at the right time, in the right industry." [00:22:36] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: So there's been a few of those, but I think one of the most memorable was when-- I have had a few leadership roles within Medtronic, and there's an annual event that gets held there where patients will are willing to share their stories with company employees. And listening to those stories, you realize what a difference we were making to the daily lives of those individuals. It was unbelievably moving and it gives you a renewed sense of hope. So we all in that office, especially, it's an extraordinary group of people that are working unbelievably hard and all of us were running at 90 and it's a constant hurricane of work, right? You lose sight. of how those hundred little activities we do every day are contributing in a transformational way to the lives of others. And sitting through that two hour testimonial set with those patients was a really emotional experience that kind of puts everything in perspective. That was a good what seven years plus now since I sat through that and it still resonates with me. I still think about it all the time. [00:23:47] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Yeah, I think that's really powerful too, to have those moments of realizing the impact that you're making and it is easy to get caught up in the daily grind. And, and forget that, oh my goodness is actually, this impacts somebody's life. [00:24:05] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: It brings it to focus, Lindsey. I loved that whole experience because, and I'm telling you, on the days when getting up in the morning is a little harder than others, it's a nice reminder to just force myself to recalibrate against that. And that we tolerate the craziness, we tolerate the difficulties, we tolerate the barriers and the more difficult days because we have an impact on the back end of the lives of other human beings. And that's the reason I've stayed in medtech for the last 20. There's something extraordinary about that. The ability to do that for someone else is amazing. [00:24:41] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, it's a gift and it's something to come back to when the days are hard and long and frustrating, because you really do know what you're doing matters. Yeah. [00:24:52] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: Exactly right. [00:24:53] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Absolutely. Well, pivoting the conversation just for fun, imagine that you were to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass on anything you want. It could be in your industry, but it doesn't have to be related to it. What would you choose to teach and why? [00:25:15] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: Honestly, I would teach exactly what I'm, a lot of the time I'm teaching now, which is device commercialization. And, to your earlier question about give me a couple of things that inspired you and told you were right where you needed to be, I taught a course at University of New Mexico, their innovation center a few weeks ago. And one of the nicest comments I've ever gotten from a career perspective is somebody came up to me afterwards and said, "I've been working with folks for a decade plus, and this is the first time in my life I have gotten such a good training that I walked out having a solid understanding of how these pieces tie together from a regulatory perspective and commercialization perspective." So what would I teach exactly what I'm what a lot of the time I'm teaching now from a consulting perspective, which is device commercialization. I picked a career that, that I'm lit up by and that I'm inspired by. I'd be doing the exact same thing, Lindsey. I wouldn't change a thing. [00:26:13] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. That's so great. [00:26:16] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: Yeah. [00:26:18] Lindsey Dinneen: That's very special. I love that. Yeah. Okay. And then how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:26:26] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: That I do quite a bit of mentoring. That I had an impact, that I inspired a group of people to maintain this mission to transforming healthcare. It's not just putting out and launching additional devices. It's sincerely a focus on looking at the areas across our healthcare system here in the U. S. and otherwise, and looking for opportunities to change the dynamic in a positive way. So after I die, what I want to be remembered for that the folks that I have, and I've taken on quite a bit over 20 years that I've tried to help grow and advance career wise that I inspired them to keep doing this. And I inspired them to do it well, and do it with integrity and do it right. [00:27:16] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. Yeah, absolutely. And then final question, what is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:27:27] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: I mean, personal, probably my cat. We have a British short hair that has an insanely cute face and it's impossible-- I don't care how stressful of a day I've had-- impossible not to crack a smile thinking about that fluff ball. So yeah, our cat for sure. [00:27:46] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh my word, I love that. Animals are the best. [00:27:49] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: Yes, well, and she's a recent addition. So we've had her a year. And it is definitely the stress buster. [00:27:57] Lindsey Dinneen: That's perfect. [00:27:59] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: For sure. [00:28:00] Lindsey Dinneen: That's perfect. Animals are inherently just happiness. Well, this has been an incredible conversation. I am so thankful for your willingness to share about your background and what you're up to now, but especially all of your advice. It was so packed full of just amazing pieces of advice to take away. And I really appreciate that you're willing to share all of that with us. So, gosh, thank you so much for your time and thank you for being here and and doing that. I really appreciate it. [00:28:33] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: Well, and likewise, thank you for doing this again. I'm a huge advocate for getting more folks and more people and more women and more individuals involved in medtech, and recognizing the phenomenal opportunities that medtech brings from a career standpoint. And so thank you for doing this because you're spreading that message and educating people on other career options besides, you know, firefighter, doctor, lawyer, engineer. So we appreciate what you're doing too, Lindsey, this is great. [00:29:03] Lindsey Dinneen: Thank you. That made my day [00:29:05] Ruba Sarris Sawaya: It's important. We got to spread the message. [00:29:09] Lindsey Dinneen: it's very true. It's very true. And we are so honored to be making a donation on your behalf as a thank you for your time today to Save the Children, which works to end the cycle of poverty by ensuring communities have the resources to provide children with a healthy, educational, and safe environment. So thank you so much for choosing that charity to support, and we just wish you the most continued success as you work to change lives for a better world. And thank you also to our listeners for tuning in and if you're feeling as inspired as I am right now, I would love it if you would share this episode with a colleague or two, and we will catch you next time.

I am delighted to connect with Dr. Nathan Bryan, an international leader in Molecular Medicine, biochemistry, and nitric oxide today. He was the first ever to describe nitrites and nitrates as indispensable nutrients for cardiovascular health. Having been involved in nitric oxide research for the past 18 years, he has made many seminal discoveries in that area.  After hearing Dr. Bryan speak on the podcast of a colleague, I decided to bring him into the Everyday Wellness Community. In today's discussion, we explore the role of nitric oxide as a signaling molecule crucial for communication within the body and examine how modern lifestyles affect nitric oxide production, looking at how to differentiate between the two nitric oxide pathways and understanding why our lifestyle choices significantly impact that. We discuss the importance of the oral microbiome and symbiosis, the harmful effects of fluoride, proton pump inhibitors, and mouthwash on our health, and cover the symptoms of low nitric oxide production, the impact of modern farming practices on the nutrient quality of our foods, and the differences between organic and conventional crops. Dr. Bryan highlights the importance of gender differences in nitric oxide production, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. We also explore various factors to avoid, the benefits of tongue scraping, the role of hydrochloric acid, and the importance of genetic testing for supporting nitric oxide production, and Dr. Bryan shares his view on how lifestyle choices and nitric oxide supplementation are as crucial as HRT in the aging process.  I am confident you will love this conversation with Dr. Nathan Bryan as much as I enjoyed recording it. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: What nitric oxide is and why it is essential Dr. Bryan explains the process of nitric oxide synthesis in the body. The importance of oral bacteria in nitric oxide production and blood pressure regulation. Why nitrate is essential nitrate in the oral microbiome, and how it impacts the digestive system How fluoride can harm the oral microbiome and lead to nitric oxide deficiency. Why should the use of proton pump inhibitors be avoided? Why nitric oxide, derived from green leafy vegetables, is essential for cardiovascular health  How nitric oxide production decreases with age, particularly in women after menopause The benefits of tongue scraping and why you should not do it with antiseptic mouthwash Lifestyle factors that impact nitric oxide production The benefits of nitric oxide supplements Bio: Dr. Nathan Bryan Dr. Bryan is a successful CEO, scientist and international leader in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry. His patented discoveries and inventions that have improved patient care worldwide and are responsible for more than one billion dollars in global product sales. By way of background, Dr. Bryan was recruited in 2006 by Ferid Murad, M.D., Ph.D., 1998 Nobel Laureate in Medicine or Physiology to join faculty at the University of Texas Health Science Center, at Houston after a two-year post-doctoral Kirschstein fellowship at Boston University School of Medicine in the Whitaker Cardiovascular Institute. Since then, he has been dedicated to nitric oxide research and has made many seminal discoveries in the fi eld resulting in dozens of issued US and International patents.

VTE prophylaxis is more than just some squeezy leg socks and a one-size fits all dose of enoxaparin!  Ever wonder how VTE prophylaxis is similar to constipation?  Have you or a loved one been hurt by a hospital administrator telling you that VTE is a never event?  Come with us, and our special guest Dr. Bryan Cotton, on this journey to the frontier of research attempting to debunk this myth and improve patient care by reducing VTE rates in trauma patients.   Hosts: - Michael Cobler-Lichter, MD, PGY4/R2: University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center @mdcobler (X/twitter) - Eva Urrechaga, MD, PGY-8, Vascular Surgery Fellow University of Pennsylvania Recent graduate of University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center General Surgery Residency @urrechisme (X/twitter) - Eugenia Kwon, MD, Trauma/Surgical Critical Care Attending: Loma Linda University Recent graduate of University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center Trauma/CC Fellowship - Brandon Parker, DO, Assistant Professor of Surgery, 5 years in practice University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital/Ryder Trauma Center @BrandonParkerDO (X/twitter) - Bryan Cotton, MD, MPH, FACS, Professor of Surgery, 20 years in practice  University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston/Red Duke Trauma Institute at Memorial Herman Hospital @bryanacotton1 (X/twitter) Learning Objectives: - Describe the rationale for the addition of aspirin to chemoprophylactic regimens for VTE -  Identify appropriate screening systems for trauma patients at high risk for VTE -  Describe the rationale for monitoring anti factor Xa levels in the trauma population receiving VTE chemoprophylaxis - List the major conclusions of the two studies discussed regarding the addition of aspirin to VTE chemoprophylaxis regimens in trauma patients, and the change in antithrombin activity levels over time in relation to enoxaparin responsiveness in polytrauma patients Quick Hits: 1.     On adjusted analysis, the standard VTE PPX plus aspirin group had a lower OR of developing VTE, though limitations of this study highlight need for future prospective work 2.     Trauma patients often suffer from decreased activity of antithrombin 3, which may mediate the relatively higher rates of VTE in this population. 3.     Trauma patients who went on to develop VTE were more likely to not achieve satisfactory anti Xa levels, with a VTE rate of 30% in the never-responder group, the group for which Xa levels were never higher than 0.2 4.     Ex vivo supplementation of antithrombin seems to improve enoxaparin responsiveness.  Remember, enoxaparin and heparin are HELPING AT3, not the other way around References 1.     Lammers D, Scerbo M, Davidson A, et al.
