Attorney Jen Weber is 49 years old and waiting to have her third lung transplant. Weber lived in Indiana until this third transplant, when she had to move to Durham, North Carolina to be near her transplant hospital: Duke University Health.  Weber also started a non-profit five years ago that meets inpatient and outpatient needs ( for example: pajama pants, slippers, cell phone chargers).  Weber worked for the Indiana Supreme Court for 16 years (in personal and operations) while going through her first transplant.   Weber is trying to help us understand the emotional and financial toll a transplant can take on a person, and their family.  As she waits for her third transplant Weber is in need of a living kidney donor.  Anyone interested in getting tested can call: 919.613.777.Something we did not talk about in the podcast is her love of music! Weber is a cellist! She still plays with the Carmel Symphony.Duke kidney donation application:https://redcap.duke.edu/redcap/surveys/?s=9EHPAAPMFMDonate to C.O.T.A for Jen's transplant expenses: https://cota.org/campaigns/COTAforJenWarriorComfort Finders Foundation: https://comfort-finders.orgFor more information on The Bonnell Foundation find us at:  https://thebonnellfoundation.org/Our new CF Familia page: https://thebonnellfoundation.org/familia/en-home/Thanks to our sponsors:Vertex: https://www.vrtx.comGenentech: https://www.gene.com/Viatris:  https://www.viatris.com/enThe original music in this podcast is performed by Kevin Allan, who happens to have Cystic Fibrosis.  You can find him on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/KevinAllanMusicThis podcast was produced by JAG in Detroit Podcasts: https://jagindetroit.com/

On this episode of Unsupervised Learning Razib discusses the new book, The Culture Transplant: How Migrants Make the Economies They Move To a Lot Like the Ones They Left, with author Garett Jones. Jones is a professor of economics at George Mason University, and The Culture Transplant is the third book in what he likes of think of as his “Singapore trilogy,” beginning with Hive Mind: How Your Nation's IQ Matters So Much More Than Your Own, and then moving to 10% Less Democracy: Why You Should Trust Elites a Little More and the Masses a Little Less. Jones explains how cultural assimilation and acculturation is actually not nearly as powerful as we might think and that ancestral folkways and norms persist for centuries, transforming nations like the US and Argentina over time as migration streams alter their demographic makeup. He argues that this is important because some nations are highly productive and innovative, and their cultural frameworks are necessary to foster their economic role in the global system. The Culture Transplant takes a contrarian position, going against the stance of mainstream economics, whereby every individual is an interchangeable “homo economicus.” https://razib.substack.com This is where you will find all the podcasts from Razib Khan's Substack, https://razib.substack.com, and original video content.

Today on the Gut Health Reset Podcast, we are discussing the emerging field of Fecal Microbiota Transplants with Dr. Shaina Cahill! The gut microbiome is a hot topic in the world of health and wellness, and for good reason: gut health has been linked to everything from weight loss to improved mood and cognitive function. So it's no surprise that researchers are looking for ways to optimize gut health. One promising area of research is fecal microbiota transplants (FMTs).FMTs involve transferring healthy gut bacteria from one individual to another. Stool from a healthy donor is transplanted into the gut of someone with an unhealthy gut microbiome. The donor stool contains a diversity of healthy gut bacteria that can help to restore balance in the recipient's gut. FMTs have been shown to be effective in treating conditions like Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and irritable bowel syndrome.While more research is needed to fully understand the potential of FMTs, there is promise that this therapy could one day be used to treat a variety of gut-related conditions.We will answer these questions:- What is a Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) and why would you want one?- How can FMT transform your gut health?- How are FMT donors vetted and screened?- Where can someone go for more information on FMTs?- And more!-Recommended Supplements: Binding Fiber Support - https://drannmariebarter.com/product/binding-fiber-support-capsules/ Wired But Tired - https://drannmariebarter.com/product/wired-but-tired/ -About Dr. Shaina:Shaina is a neuroscientist with an interest in alternative medicines that utilize the body's innate systems and a passion for medical education and scientific communication. She received her doctoral degree in Neuroscience from the University of British Columbia and has been working in the field of medical affairs in non-traditional medicines for the last three years since leaving academia. She is currently the Director of Medical Communications and Affairs at Novel Biome, which provides high-quality medically supervised Faecal Microbiota Transplants (FMT) for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

In this week's episode we discuss the role of allogeneic transplant in adult patients with Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia. In a retrospective study, transplant provided no survival benefit in patients with rapid and deep responses to induction therapy that included BCR-ABL1 inhibitors. Up next, we discuss the evidence for an increased risk of ventricular arrythmias with use of acalabrutinib, which has emerged as a class effect of Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Lastly, we examine a novel, alloantigen-specific model to test the efficacy of a prophylactic treatment strategy for preventing fetal/neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia.

Dr Joseph Galati is a liver disease expert, speaker, radio host, entrepreneur and author who is devoted to the care of patients with all facets of liver diseases, obesity, fatty liver and related disorders. Since 2003, Dr. Galati has been a familiar voice on Texas radio airwaves, producing and hosting Your Health First every Sunday evening on the program's flagship station, 740 KTRH in Houston. Today, Dr. Galati joins the show to share what inspired him to specialize on the liver, the incredible leading edge work he is doing in liver transplant medicine, and debunks the stigma behind diseases such as Hepatitis and Cirrhosis. Key Takeaways01:40 – Dr. Joseph Galati joins the show to share his passion for radio, the stigma of Hepatitis and Cirrhosis of the liver, and the work he does as a liver specialist 12:45 – What inspired Dr. Galati to become a physician 21:23 – From Brooklyn to Houston and operating in the leading edge of liver transplant medicine 24:37 – Dr. Galati talks about his book, Eating Yourself Sick 28:22 – Final words of wisdom from Dr. Galati 34:42 – Dr. Flowers thanks Dr. Galati for joining today's show and lets listeners know where they can learn more about Liver Specialists of Texas Tweetable Quotes“There is something very valuable in reflecting backwards, how things were. Things were good. Things were bad. There were lessons learned and to learn from our elders in a sense.” (05:33) (Dr. Galati) “First of all, a lot of people don't know where their liver is. I'll be examining them and I'll pull their gown up and I'll be palpating around and they'll ask, ‘What are you doing up there?' And so, that's a big point that people don't even know where their liver is and so if they have a pain in their side, they don't know that it could be their liver or their gallbladder. The liver is the largest organ, next to the skin, and the unique thing about that, first of all, is it is involved in over two hundred different biochemical reactions. It does a lot of stuff.” (06:41) (Dr. Galati) “Alcohol accounts for about forty-nine percent of all cirrhosis, which means fifty percent is due to obesity, and fatty liver, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, autoimmune disease, too much copper, too much iron in your blood. So, if you understand that Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver and Cirrhosis is scarring of the liver, you're not automatically deemed an alcoholic or bad person. It comes out of this stigma.” (09:58) (Dr. Galati) “We have, over the last ten years at Houston Methodist Hospital, become the number one liver transplant program - or number two depending on the month and different volumes - which is a Herculean effort to go from the lower third to the top, beating out household names like Cornell, Mount Saini, UCLA, Chicago, Miami.” (23:54) (Dr. Galati) “There is something that's been around since the earliest days of transplant called ‘The Six Month Rule,' which basically says if you have Alcohol Use Disorder - you are an alcoholic, you have cirrhosis - bad boy. You have to sit in time-out for six months until you go to recovery, abstinence, you get a sponsor, you work your way through a 12-Step Program, you have proof of abstinence. Then come back and talk to us and we'll talk about transplant.” (29:17) (Dr. Galati) Resources MentionedJFlowers Health Institute – https://jflowershealth.com/ (https://jflowershealth.com/) JFlowers Health Institute Contact – (713) 783-6655 Subscribe on your favorite player: https://understanding-the-human-condition.captivate.fm/listen (https://understanding-the-human-condition.captivate.fm/listen) Dr. Joseph Galati's LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjoegalati/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjoegalati/) Dr. Galati's Website – https://drjoegalati.com/ (https://drjoegalati.com/) Dr. Galati's Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/drjoegalati/ (https://www.facebook.com/drjoegalati/) Dr. Galati's Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/drjoegalati/...

Claudia Hammond discovers that some livers have the potential for extraordinary longevity and after a long life in a transplant donor, can survive for many more years in a transplant recipient. Livers over one hundred years old, called centurian livers by researchers, have been identified and many are still going strong. The new study has important implications for the future of liver transplants because donated organs from some older-age people were also found to last longer than those from young-age donors, a finding that Dr Christine Hwang, from the University of Texas in the USA and study co-author, tells Claudia upturns conventional thinking about the healthiest livers to transplant. The accuracy of forehead thermometers as well as pulse oximeters on darker skin is an issue that's received widespread attention, but what about the medical need to accurately measure skin pigmentation for psoriasis, eczema, skin cancers and other health conditions? Dr Ophelia Dadzie from the British Association of Dermatologists and the Hillingdon Hospital in London has been developing a scientific way to measure skin colour. Her method uses eumelanin, a skin pigment, and she's created a new scale to objectively assess peoples' skin colour. And BBC correspondent, Dr Smitha Mundasad, joins Claudia and reports on the growing Ebola outbreak in Uganda, the risks of herbal supplements on our livers and brings the latest evidence on the health benefits of the weighted blanket.

This month on JHLT The Podcast, JHLT Digital Media Editor Van-Khue Ton, MD, takes over hosting duties to present two unique papers from the November issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation. Listen now to hear study authors discuss their work, their studies, and next steps for their research. First, we welcome first author Megan M. Collins, MD, about her team's study from the University of Utah entitled “Attitudes & practices surrounding pregnancy post heart transplantation among pediatric providers.” Dr. Collins shares her journey from being an undergraduate economics major to her current career in pediatrics, including how strategy and game theory have helped her better understand her patients and thrive during her pediatric cardiology fellowship. The study itself is exceptionally important as more pediatric heart transplant recipients reach adulthood and become interested in family planning. The study consisted of confidential and voluntary web surveys of pediatric heart transplant doctors, exploring their behaviors and policies around pregnancy and family planning. Next, R. James White, MD, from the division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center, shares details on the study “Contemporary Risk Scores Predict Clinical Worsening in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension – An Analysis of FREEDOM-EV.” Dr. White is the senior author on the study, and discusses how he became interested in risk scores for pulmonary arterial hypertension, including some of the exciting data that they reveal. Prior to this study, none of the event-driven trials in PAH had previously incorporated serial assessment of risk scores like hemodynamics, laboratory values, exercise tolerance, and symptoms at baseline. Using data from the FREEDOM-EV trial, the study retrospectively compared the discriminant power of 4 risk scores, REVEAL 2.0, REVEAL Lite 2, 4-strata COMPERA 2.0, and the non-invasive French risk assessment, in predicting patients' clinical worsening at baseline and at a 12-week follow up.

Modern hair transplants have come a long way. Today, on The Plastic Surgery Revolution, Dr. Steven Davis talks about the advances in hair transplants, ideal donor areas, and what to expect during the process.

Mayo Clinic performed its first bone marrow transplant in 1963 and today hundreds of people receive blood and marrow transplants every year at Mayo Clinic in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota. Recently, Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota celebrated its 10,000th blood and marrow transplant.Bone marrow transplant is used to treat blood cancers and related disorders by infusing healthy blood-forming stem cells into your body to replace unhealthy bone marrow. A bone marrow transplant is also called a stem cell transplant. Bone marrow transplants may use cells from your own body, called autologous transplant, or from a donor, known as allogeneic transplant. Autologous stem cell transplants are typically used in people who are producing enough bone marrow but need to undergo high doses of chemotherapy and radiation to cure their disease. These treatments are likely to damage the bone marrow. Prior to treatment, healthy bone marrow cells are collected, frozen and stored for later use. After treatment, the stem cells are infused back into the patient to repopulate the bone marrow.Allogeneic bone marrow transplant is used when there is underlying bone marrow failure syndrome or for certain types of bone cancers and blood cancers. In those cases, donor bone marrow is needed to replace the diseased bone marrow.One common complication of allogenic transplant is developing graft versus host disease. This condition occurs when the donor stem cells see the body's tissues and organs as something foreign and attack them. Researchers have now discovered metabolic markers that can predict a person's risk for developing severe graft versus host disease, allowing for a more personalized treatment approach."Graft versus host disease occurs in patients that have had an allogeneic transplant from a donor," explains Dr. William Hogan, director of the Mayo Clinic Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant Program in Minnesota. "And this is where the donor immune system doesn't just recognize the leukemia that we're trying to treat — which is what we want — but it also attacks the patient's normal tissues. This can be anything from a relatively mild to a very devastating problem that can occur after transplant. And one of the challenges was that, by the time that has been fully developed, then it's harder to treat. So one of the goals of research in the last few years has been to develop markers that will tell us which patients are at risk of having the most severe graft versus host disease, and allowing us to target more effective treatment toward those patients."Other recent advances in blood and bone marrow transplant include the use of mismatched donors and the ability to use bone marrow transplant in older, more frail patients thanks to improvements in antibiotics, antifungal drugs and other medications.Another cellular therapy that is helping treat blood disorders and cancers is chimeric antigen receptor-T cell (CAR-T) therapy. CAR-T involves taking the T cells from a person and reengineering them to recognize and destroy cancer cells."CAR-T therapy is a very interesting therapy," says Dr. Hogan. "It's really come to fruition in the last five to 10 years. This is similar to bone marrow transplant, but not quite the same. It's a cellular-based therapy, so not a drug, but using cells that are modified in order to try and treat leukemias and other cancers. And basically, what it does is it takes our native immune system — and then the T cells specifically — and modifies them so that they are much more effective at recognizing targets that are on leukemia cells or other malignant cells. And that really kind of allows us to use the native immune system in a much more effective way of trying to kill leukemias." Dr. Hogan says CAR-T therapy also is being developed for noncancerous conditions, like aplastic anemia, and research is looking at CAR-T as a treatment for a particular form of inflammatory multiple sclerosis. "Things have really been transformed over the last five to 10 years with the advent of CAR-T therapy which has been groundbreaking," says Dr. Hogan. "The field of blood and bone marrow transplant continues to move forward, creating more effective treatments with less toxicity for many patients." On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Hogan discusses advances in bone marrow transplant and cellular therapy, including CAR-T.

Since 2019, the Nevada Donor Network Foundation has been on a mission to bring a new transplant institute to Nevada. And due to a recent investment of American Rescue Plan Act funds, the nonprofit has gotten closer to bringing the institute to life. But why a new transplant institute? Especially since there is already a center for transplantation at University Medical Center. To answer that is Joe Ferreira, the CEO and president of the Nevada Donor Network.

Rob A. Gentile died twice, came back, got a new heart, and a whole lot of wisdom. Listen in to hear first hand what it was like on the other side, what Rob calls "the Ethereal."  At the age of 56, Rob had a massive heart attack followed by a profound near-death experience. On his journey to heart transplant, he was close to death again and entered "the Ethereal" a second time. He saw and simultaneously became part of a gigantic interactive web of twinkling lights covering the Earth and stretching into infinity. While in the Ethereal, he understood that each light symbolized a life. He realized that if he hurt himself, he hurt everything connected to him, but if he loved, the light would spread. Rob also saw his daughter with special needs, perfect, whole and radiant. The most important message he received was of unity, oneness, and our real identity. He has come to know that the Divine is everywhere present.  In his wonderful book Quarks of Light, Rob shares his journey and provides a roadmap for overcoming adversity, staying in spirit, and connecting to the Universal language of love and light.
