In 2019, British-Nigerian comedian Emmanuel Sonubi suffered from a near-fatal heart failure whilst on a comedy tour of Dubai. He had a condition called dilated cardiomyopathy, which means his heart was not pumping enough oxygen around his body, and he might need an urgent transplant. In the years since Emmanuel's condition has been controlled through medication but the threat of a heart transplant still looms large – as does the shortage of donors from people of his background where he lives in the UK. Emmanuel examines the cultural attitudes which stop people from taking part in organ donation and transplantation. He also hears from Dr. Beatriz Domínguez-Gil, director general of Organización Nacional de Trasplantes and Lalitha Raghuram, one of the leaders of the MOHAN Foundation, which helps spread awareness of organ donation across India.

Diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at 11 and later with end-stage renal disease, Suzanne drew on her personal experience to write an MSc thesis exploring the lived challenges of adhering to a highly restrictive dialysis diet. Following her kidney transplant, she was struck by the lack of clear nutrition guidance for transplant recipients, making the transition to managing her new kidney particularly difficult. Determined to fill this gap, she conducted research to develop evidence-based dietary guidelines, which she published in Transplant International and presented at the European Keto Live Conference in Switzerland.

What happens when your soul begins to leave your body? Terry Wright knows that feeling intimately. Terry founded Lifeline Pregnancy Center, combining her nursing background with her passion for supporting women in crisis pregnancies. The center provides education, material support, and shares the gospel with every client. While standing at a copy machine at Lifeline, she suddenly collapsed and was taken to the Emergency Room.  While there, a shocking discovery was made. Her heart was failing. But why?In this powerful conversation, Terry shares her extraordinary journey from sudden collapse to heart failure that left doctors puzzled. With no prior cardiovascular issues, she found herself declining rapidly until she was hospitalized, waiting for a donor heart while actively dying.Terry takes us to the edge of mortality itself, describing with remarkable clarity how she felt her soul slowly separating from her weakening body. The medical staff's hushed tones told her family "this is what happens at the end of the end." As she prepared to meet Jesus, Terry's overwhelming regret wasn't about missed vacations or career achievements – it was that she hadn't done more for God's Kingdom.Then came the miracle. A late-night call announced a perfectly matched heart was available. The emotional whiplash of moving from death's doorstep to a second chance at life led Terry to profound spiritual insights about God's authority and timing. Her meeting with the donor family – who lost their 18-year-old daughter but honored her wish to donate organs – reveals the beautiful redemption possible even in tragedy.Her powerful testimony illustrates how God's promises become real when we fully surrender to His purposes.Whether you're facing life-altering challenges or simply questioning your purpose, Terry's journey will inspire you to consider how you're using your own "window of opportunity." What race has God set before you? The clock is ticking for all of us – what will you do with the time you've been given?Support the showThank you for listening!!

This week, we dig into the surprising shift among voters who once supported private equity in healthcare—and may now be rethinking it. Kristin and I talk through what's behind that change, plus a major headline about the first-ever eye transplant. And just when things start to feel a little too serious, we lighten it up with a chaotic game that puts our anatomy knowledge (and humility) to the test. Trust me, you'll want to play along. Takeaways: Some voters are finally reconsidering their stance on private equity's role in healthcare—what changed? A groundbreaking eye transplant sparks conversation about what's medically possible… and what still isn't. The line between actual anatomy and total nonsense is thinner than you think—especially when you're being timed. Kristin has strong thoughts about “buzzword healthcare policy.” We all need a reminder that it's okay to laugh at ourselves—even when we're supposed to know this stuff. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Show Notes: In this episode, we spotlight a groundbreaking advancement in transplantation offering new hope to patients with stage 4 colorectal cancer. At Northwestern Medicine, surgeons successfully split a donor's liver to save two lives. One portion of the donor's liver went for a traditional waitlist recipient, and the other portion, for a patient with advanced colorectal cancer. This approach is part of a new trial called CLEAR (Colorectal Metastasis to Liver Extraction with Auxiliary Transplant and Delayed Resection). We're joined by Barclay Missen, the first Northwestern patient to undergo this innovative transplant and Dr. Satish Nadig, who shares how the CLEAR program is reshaping outcomes for patients. In our Mental Health Moment, we discuss tips for navigating the ups and downs of your day to maintain positive balance in your emotions, and then, honor donor hero Katherine Thiels.

This week we speak with congenital heart surgeon T. Konrad Rajab of Arkansas Children's Hospital about a recent report he co-authored on piglet experiments on partial heart transplantation. How did transplanted heart valves grow in comparison to standard homografts and how did the valvular function differ with time? Is there a minimum dose of immunosuppresion that can protect these valves and can this dose be lower than full heart transplantation immunosuppresion therapy? Is partial heart transplantation considered a potential life-long approach to valve replacement or mostly something used to allow for growth of valves during childhood? What do we know about the world's limited experience in humans of this approach? Dr. Rajab shares the answers this week in an exciting 'sci-fi' episode. The future is now.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jacbts.2024.10.015

In this week's episode, we'll learn about using AI to assess transplant risk in myelofibrosis. In a step toward personalized medicine, researchers report on a machine learning model that identifies 25% of patients with poor outcomes. After that: preventing priapism in men with sickle cell anemia. A recent phase 2 feasibility study shows high rates of recruitment, retention, and adherence to oral therapies, coupled with a significant reduction in the risk of this difficult complication. Finally, new research indicates that hallmarks of terminal T-cell exhaustion are absent in multiple myeloma, from diagnosis through maintenance therapy. We explore these provocative and counterintuitive findings arising from profiling of blood and marrow samples.Featured Articles:Use of machine learning techniques to predict poor survival after hematopoietic cell transplantation for myelofibrosisA controlled trial for preventing priapism in sickle cell anemia: hydroxyurea plus placebo vs hydroxyurea plus tadalafilHallmarks of T-cell exhaustion and antigen experience are absent in multiple myeloma from diagnosis to maintenance therapy

Send us a textLeonard Goldberg stops by the show to discuss his latest release, A Scandalous Affair, from his Daughter of Sherlock Holmes mystery series. We also discuss how his research career led him to become a writer. We talk about his process and more. ****Leonard Goldberg is an internationally bestselling author of the Joanna Blalock series of medical thrillers. His novels, acclaimed by critics as well as fellow authors, have been translated into a dozen languages and sold more than a million copies worldwide. Leonard Goldberg is himself a consulting physician affiliated with the UCLA Medical Center, where he holds an appointment as Clinical Professor of Medicine. A highly sought-after expert witness in medical malpractice trials, he is board-certified in internal medicine, hematology, and rheumatology, and has published over a hundred scientific studies in peer-reviewed journals.Leonard Goldberg's writing career began with a clinical interest in blood disorders. While involved in a research project at UCLA, he encountered a most unusual blood type. The patient's red blood cells were O-Rh null, indicating they were totally deficient in A, B, and Rh factors and could be administered to virtually anyone without fear of a transfusion reaction. In essence, the patient was the proverbial "universal" blood donor. This finding spurred the idea for a story in which an individual was born without a tissue type, making that person's organs transplantable into anyone without worry of rejection. His first novel, TRANSPLANT, revolved around a young woman who is discovered to be a universal organ donor and is hounded by a wealthy, powerful man in desperate need of a new kidney. The book quickly went through multiple printings and was optioned by a major Hollywood studio.The Daughter of Sherlock mystery series, including Leonard's newest title, A SCANDALOUS AFFAIR (Pegasus Crime; Available now; ISBN-13: 9781639368358), follows Irene Adler and Sherlock's daughter years after Holmes has passed away, as she joins Dr. Watson's son in solving cases, using her quick wit and remarkable observations to carry on her father's legacy. If you haven't dipped into this clever and compelling series yet, trust the recommendation of New York Times bestselling author Tess Gerritsen, who says, "Fans of Sherlock Holmes will be thrilled to meet his fearless and brilliant daughter, Joanna."Leonard Goldberg celebrates Sherlock's enduring legacy and understands why readers and viewers continue to be captivated by it today.*****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

I'm joined today by two special guests to discuss an unusual and ethically complex type of organ donation – imminent death donation, or IDD. As you'll hear Thao Galvan explain in the episode, organ donation currently has three standard types: living donation, donation after brain death (a type of deceased donation in which the patient is declared brain dead, and thus legally dead), and donation after circulatory death, or DCD. In DCD, a patient who is not brain dead is removed from life support, but the heart keeps beating. If it takes the patient more than roughly 90 minutes to die, the organs may not be usable. IDD, or imminent death donation, attempts to prevent that, by retrieving non-vital organs (usually a kidney) for donation prior to the removal of life support. Thao Galvan is a transplant surgeon and professor of surgery at Baylor College of Medicine. Kathy Osterrieder is a retired financial analyst, who came to this issue after attempting, unsuccessfully, to donate the organs of her late husband, Robert Osterrieder, after making the difficult decision to remove him from life support. It is another first for the Taboo Trades podcast – the first time in over five years of recording that I've been unable to hold back the tears, as Kathy talks about what the experience was like for her family. LinksHost: Kimberly D.

This is the morning All Local update for Wednesday, June 18, 2025.

The Liver Transplant Program at Michigan Medicine has seen unprecedented success in recent years. Indeed, the team is leading the way when it comes to who is receiving transplants and ensuring successful outcomes for patients and donors. You can learn more about these incredible advancements, about transplantation in general and the unique aspects of the living donor program on the latest episode of The Wrap. Check it out today! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, we talk with David Hartley, PhD, MPH, who shares his deeply personal experience as both a caregiver and a scientist. David is chair of the board for Engraft, a learning network focused on improving outcomes in transplant and cellular therapy through collaboration and shared data. While he brings professional expertise in infectious diseases and epidemiology, our conversation centers on his journey as a father navigating his son Devin's stem cell transplant at age 13.We begin by discussing Devin's sudden diagnosis after months of unexplained symptoms. Despite initial medical dismissal, David's persistence—fueled by his medical background—led to a hematologist visit that quickly changed everything. From that point, their lives became dominated by a rapid series of decisions leading to a bone marrow transplant at a center hours from home. With a second child, sick parent, and full-time jobs, David and his wife adopted a "divide and conquer" strategy: she managed Devin's care in-hospital, while he held down things at home.Throughout, David stresses the overwhelming nature of transplant. It's relentless and multifaceted—emotionally, logistically, and financially. His wife tracked medications, schedules, and insurance battles. One notable success was avoiding a lawsuit thanks to her meticulous record-keeping and strong communication with their insurance provider. David's role included managing home infusions and learning as much as possible about the transplant process to mitigate risks, particularly infections. They juggled roles and adapted constantly, ensuring redundancy in caregiving in case one of them became unavailable.We delve into the emotional toll and the universality of caregiver fatigue. David admits to not managing his own stress well, noting long-term impacts. He discusses a study linking chronic stress to telomere shortening (he explains what that is- see below for the link), highlighting the physical consequences of caregiver strain. Still, he emphasizes the importance of accepting help and finding moments for self-care, however small.David shares powerful insights on advocacy, highlighting it as a team effort rather than a confrontation. He and his wife advocated for Devin's pain management, educational access, and protection from medical errors. He stresses the value of caregivers' unique skills and the importance of focusing on the outcomes that matter most to each family—whether clinical or social.Later in the episode, David offers a scientist's perspective on the variability in patient outcomes and the limitations of statistics in predicting individual experiences.

He also reminds us not to panic over single research findings, advocating for a balanced, critical view of medical literature.We close with the good news: Devin is now a healthy, wise young adult. David expresses deep gratitude to the care teams and support networks that helped them through. His story is a testament to resilience, collaboration, and the essential role of caregivers in the transplant journey.Engraft: www.engraftlearningnetwork.orgTriage Cancer: https://triagecancer.orgAARP article about Telomore:  https://www.aarp.org/health/conditions-treatments/elizabeth-blackburn-stress-dna-hd/Thanks to our Season 17 Sponsors:Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS): https://lls.org/and Incyte: https://incyte.com/ National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd
