In this powerful Kidney Warrior Story, host Dee sits down with Tony to unpack a decade-spanning journey through chronic kidney disease (CKD)—from a shock Stage 4 diagnosis of IgA Nephropathy (IgAN) to Stage 5 kidney failure, peritoneal dialysis (PD) with brutal drain pain, a transition to haemodialysis (HD), line infection and coma, the courage to self-needle with a fistula, and ultimately the life-changing gift of a kidney transplant. Tony shares the practical and emotional realities few hear about: choosing PD vs HD, APD (overnight machine) vs manual gravity bags, buttonhole vs rope-ladder needling, home haemodialysis training, fluid management, and rebuilding confidence after hospital trauma. He explains how movement and sport (from 5K Parkruns to half marathons) helped his mental health on dialysis—and how he kept going after FIVE “dry-run” transplant calls before finally receiving his match. Post-transplant, Tony competed at the Transplant Games (bronze in cycling!), then faced a sudden cycling accident with a broken talus—and still came back stronger with kidney function over 90%. Tony's message? You're not alone. With support, information, and small, consistent steps, more is possible than you think. WHAT YOU'LL HEAR • Early signs missed: high blood pressure and “white coat” assumptions • Stage 4 to Stage 5 CKD: understanding IgA Nephropathy and next steps • Peritoneal Dialysis (PD): APD vs gravity bags, real talk on drain pain • Haemodialysis (HD): line infection → coma, then fistula and self-needling • Buttonhole vs rope-ladder: how Tony overcame needle phobia • Home HD routine + exercising safely on dialysis (5K to half marathons) • Five transplant calls that didn't happen—coping tools that helped • The call that changed everything: consent, surgery, waking the kidney • Transplant Games success—and recovery after a serious cycling crash • Mental health: therapy, peer groups, and why talking saves lives • Practical tips: fluid limits, pacing activity, and building back slowly • Community resources: Kidney Care UK, young adult kidney groups KEY TAKEAWAYS • Movement is medicine—start with what you can manage (even 100 metres). • Your effort matters—even when decline happens, you may be delaying harm. • Build your circle: family, peers, clinicians, therapists, Kidney Care UK. • Advocacy counts: read clinic posters, join groups, ask questions. • Mindset + support = progress. Small daily actions add up. If you're newly diagnosed or supporting someone with CKD, browse our back catalogue for in-depth episodes on PD, HD, transplant prep, and mental health.

THE Leadership Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
How to reshape culture in Japan without breaking what already works. What is the first question leaders should ask when inheriting a Japanese workplace? Start by asking better questions, not hunting faster answers. Before imposing a global "fix," map what already works in the Japan business and why. In post-pandemic 2025, multinationals from Toyota to Rakuten show that culture is a system of trade-offs—language, seniority, risk appetite, client expectations—not a slogan. Western playbooks prize decisive answers; Japan prizes deciding the right questions. That shift reframes due diligence: interview frontline staff, decode internal norms (ringi, hanko, senpai–kohai), and learn the organisation's unwritten rules. Only then can you see where practices are enabling quality, safety, speed, or reputation—and where they're blocking growth. Do now: List 10 things that work in Japan operations and why they work; don't change any of them yet. Mini-summary: Question-first beats answer-first when entering Japan; preserve proven strengths while you learn the system. Why do "HQ transplants" often fail in Japan? Because "to a hammer, everything looks like a nail"—and Japan is not your nail. Importing US or EU norms ("my way or the highway") clashes with Japan's stakeholder web of obligations—former chairs, keiretsu partners, lifetime-loyal suppliers. Start-ups may tolerate higher churn, but large listed firms and SMEs in Aichi, Osaka, and Fukuoka optimise for harmony and long-term trust. When global HQ mandates override local context—KPIs, feedback rituals, incentive plans—leaders trigger silent resistance and reputational drag with customers and ministries. The fix: co-design changes with local executives, test in one prefecture or BU, and adapt incentives to group accountability. Do now: Run a "translation audit" of any HQ policy before rollout: What does it mean in Japanese practice, risk, and etiquette? Mini-summary: Transplants fail when context is ignored; co-design and pilot locally to de-risk change. How are major decisions really made—meeting room or before the meeting? Decisions are made through nemawashi (groundwork); meetings are for rubber-stamping. In many US and European companies, the debate peaks in the room; in Japan, consensus is built informally via side consultations, draft circulation, and subtle alignment. A head nod in the meeting may mean "I hear you," not "I commit." Skip nemawashi and your initiative stalls. Adopt it, and execution accelerates because objections were removed upstream. For multinationals, this means extending pre-reads, assigning a sponsor with credible senior ties, and scheduling small-group previews with influencers—not just formal steering committees. Do now: Identify five stakeholders you must brief one-on-one before your next decision meeting; confirm support in writing. Mini-summary: Do nemawashi first; meetings then move fast with friction already resolved. Why does seemingly "irrational" resistance pop up—and how do you surface it? Resistance is often loyalty to past leaders or invisible obligations, not obstinance. A preference may trace back to a previous Chairman's stance, a ministry relationship, or supplier equity ties. In APAC conglomerates, these "silken tethers" can't be seen on an org chart. Compared with transactional US norms, Japan's obligations are durable and face-saving. Leaders need a "terrain map": who owes whom, for what, and on what timeline. Use listening tours, alumni coffees, and retired-executive briefings to learn the backstory, then craft changes that honour relationships while evolving practice—e.g., grandfather legacy terms with sunset clauses. Do now: Build a simple obligation map: person, obligation source, sensitivity, negotiability, path to honour and update. Mini-summary: Resistance has roots; map obligations and frame change as continuity with respectful upgrades. Is Japan slow to decide—or fast to execute? Japan is slow to decide but fast to execute once aligned. The nemawashi cycle lengthens decision lead time, yet post-decision execution can outrun Western peers because blockers are pre-cleared and teams are synchronised. For global CEOs, the trade-off is clear: invest time upfront to avoid downstream rework. Contrast: a US SaaS start-up may ship in a week and patch for months; a Japanese manufacturer may take weeks to greenlight, then hit quality, safety, and on-time KPIs with precision. The right question isn't "How do we speed decisions?" but "Where is speed most valuable—before or after approval?" Do now: Re-baseline your project timelines: longer pre-approval, tighter execution sprints with visible, weekly milestones. Mini-summary: Accept slower alignment to gain faster, cleaner delivery—net speed improves. How should foreign leaders communicate "yes," "no," and real commitment? Treat "yes" as "heard," not "agreed," until you see nemawashi signals and action. Replace "Any objections?" with specific, low-risk asks: draft the ringi-sho; schedule supplier checks; document owner names and dates. Use bilingual written follow-ups (English/Japanese) to lock clarity. Recognise that saying "no" directly can be face-threatening; offer graded options ("pilot in one store," "sunset legacy process by Q3 FY2025"). Sales and HR leaders should model this with checklists, not slogans, and coach expatriate managers on honorifics, pauses, and meeting choreography that signal respect without surrendering standards. Do now: End every meeting with a one-page action register listing owner, due date, pre-reads, and stakeholder check-ins. Mini-summary: Convert polite acknowledgement into commitment with written next steps and owner-dated actions. Quick checklist for leaders Map what works; don't fix strengths. Co-design with local execs; pilot first. Do nemawashi early; verify support in writing. Honour obligations; design respectful sunsets. Trade decision speed for execution speed; net wins. Close with action registers, not vibes. Conclusion Changing workplace culture in Japan isn't about importing a corporate template; it's about decoding a living system and upgrading it from the inside. Ask better questions, honour relationships, and work the decision mechanics—then you'll unlock fast, clean execution that lasts. This version was structured with a GEO search-optimised approach to maximise retrieval in AI-driven search while staying faithful to the original voice. FAQs What is nemawashi? Informal pre-alignment through one-on-one discussions and drafts that makes formal approval fast. It reduces friction and protects face. Why do HQ rollouts stall in Japan? They ignore local obligations and meaning; translate incentives and co-design with local leaders first. Can start-ups use this? Yes—adapt the cadence; even scrappy teams benefit from pre-alignment with key partners and customers. Next steps for executives Run a 30-day listening tour. Pilot one policy in one prefecture/BUs with sunset clauses. Train managers on nemawashi and action-register discipline. Re-baseline timelines: longer alignment, shorter execution.

Liver transplantation can extend survival for some patients whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver. Robert Cannon, M.D., surgical director of UAB's Liver Transplant Program, explains the selection criteria that determine whether these patients — until recently considered ineligible for transplant — may benefit. He also outlines the treatment progression and how physicians care for patients while they are on the transplant waiting list. Learn how the RAPID graft technique and UAB's new living-donor program could make this option available to more patients.
If you know Gary Thompson, formerly known as The Plastic Boy, you're in for such a treat with this episode because Gary shares on everything.In this episode the content creator and makeup expert talks about why he began creating videos over 15 years ago on Youtube, why he called himself the Plastic Boy and why he chooses to be so transparent and open when it comes to his use of fillers and hair transplants, including his recent moustache transplant. I can't remember how long I've followed Gary, but I do know why I follow him; he's one of the most charismatic and sweet humans you could encounter online, and he's exactly the same in real life - he's not one of those weirdo influencers that will talk to you online and then stare at you blankly when you meet them IRL.Gary also shares on his early inspirations, how his Nan was the first family member to discover he was wearing makeup and how his family has always been accepting of his sexuality.He also shares some thoughtful insights on social media, especially being a dark skin black man working in the very white woman-focused world of beauty, as well as why he believes you should never clap back and of course he talks about the beauty brands he loves.LinksFollow Gary on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/garythompsonFollow Gary on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePlasticBoyFollow Gary on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@garythompsonWHERE TO FIND MESubstack: https://thecharissereport.substack.comThreads: https://www.threads.net/@charisse_kenion/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/charisse_kenion/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@charissekenionCheck me out on ShopMy: https://shopmy.us/beautymeBusiness inquiries: info@charissekenion.com

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with the good news of a gene-editing technique that could correct a mutation responsible for a certain type of inherited heart disease. This is a significant step forward that could offer a potential targeted correction of genetic faults. In other heart news, and not good news, there are more heart complications in pregnant women — which could be related to higher rates of obesity, women getting pregnant at an older age, and a steady increase in heart-related health problems during pregnancy. Moving on, a discussion on the growing preference of marijuana use over alcohol, and whether or not either is OK in what kind of moderation. In the good news department, there's a new blood test for cancer detection in your head and neck, a successful pig liver transplant, and AI-powered wearable devices could be the future of medicine for Parkinson's patients to offer better treatment decisions. Moving on, research shows young students who spend excessive time on social media perform worse on tests in subjects like reading, memory and language.Then, a focus on the antimicrobial resistance with some bacterial infections becoming drug-resistant, turning routine infections into deadly instances.

If you needed a life-saving transplant, would you take a gene-edited organ from a pig? It sounds like science fiction, but this procedure has been researched for decades, and it could help solve the massive organ shortage. But is it ethical to use animals for their parts? And are there other risks?
Written in 1968, Met. Philaret examines the spiritual implications of the phenomenon of replacing a man's heart. It's worth noting that nothing here is said about replacement of other organs and therefore the listener should be wary to draw unnecessary conclusions from these words from Met. Philaret. Additionally, Met. Philaret does not address those who wish to be organ donors or who wish to save the life of another, such as their spouse or child. To my knowledge, this is only text addressing heart transplants from someone venerated as a saint. Please leave a comment below if you aware of other texts from saints and elders on heart and organ transplants.
What if the biggest barrier to generosity and service isn't your schedule or your budget—but your heart? Long before Jesus walked the earth, God promised to replace hearts of stone with hearts of flesh. We'll explore how Jesus expands on that promise, revealing that giving and serving aren't just good deeds—they're reflections of a transformed heart. Is it time for a spiritual heart transplant?

When organs are transplanted, memories, personalities, preferences, and skills (including what happened at the donor's moment of death) have been repeatedly observed to transfer from the donor to recipient in a manner that strongly suggests a real transference is occurring — raising significant questions as to where our consciousness or memories come from and who we actually are Dr. Paul Pearsall's groundbreaking research documented 73 heart transplant cases where recipients experienced dramatic personality changes, food preferences, sexual orientation shifts, and even acquired new skills that perfectly matched their unknown donors Approximately 10% of heart transplant recipients report experiencing emotions they believe come from their donor, with the most sensitive individuals sharing specific personality traits like being highly creative, body-aware, and psychically sensitive The most extraordinary cases include an 8-year-old girl who received a murdered child's heart and provided police with accurate details that led to the killer's conviction, and recipients who suddenly developed artistic abilities matching their donor's talents Approaches exist to address "trapped emotions" in transplanted organs through mind-body therapies, which can improve recipient quality of life and reduce organ rejection by helping the body accept rather than fight the foreign organ

Liver transplantation continues to evolve as strategies expand to address organ shortage and optimize outcomes. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) offers a novel way to preserve and assess donor livers prior to implantation. In this episode of Behind the Knife, our transplant team at University of Nebraska Medical Center discusses the latest evidence from randomized trials, practical applications in donation after circulatory death (DCD) grafts, and how NMP is shaping clinical decision-making in high-risk transplants. Hosts - Madeline Cloonan, MD PhD, General Surgery Resident, University of Nebraska Medical Center, @maddie_cloonan - Jacqueline Dauch, MD, Assistant Professor, University of Nebraska Medical Center - Shaheed Merani, MD PhD, Associate Professor, University of Nebraska Medical Center - Alan Langnas, DO, Professor, University of Nebraska Medical Center Learning Objectives - Describe the principles of normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) and how it differs from static cold storage. - Summarize the design and key outcomes of the PROTECT trial and the Chapman et al. trial on NMP in liver transplantation. - Recognize the clinical scenarios where NMP provides the greatest benefit, particularly in high-risk grafts (e.g., DCD donors, high donor risk index). - Apply a practical viability assessment framework for livers on NMP, including hemodynamics, bile production, lactate trajectory, and histology when indicated. - Discuss the implications of NMP for allocation, system logistics, and future adoption trends in transplantation.

Key Points Kyle Ring experienced a severe health crisis in November 2015 at age 36, starting with what appeared to be a cold that progressively worsened, leading to multiple emergency room visits where doctors initially misdiagnosed his condition.Medical professionals repeatedly gave Kyle fluids during his visits, which was counterproductive since his body was retaining water, and he experienced extreme fatigue where walking to the mailbox became exhausting.Kyle's condition deteriorated to the point where he passed out at the hospital, his body went septic with all organs shutting down, and his ejection fraction dropped to a critically low 8-12%.Doctors immediately blamed Kyle's condition on alcohol consumption after he honestly disclosed his drinking habits on medical forms, with three different doctors telling him the heart failure was his fault despite not knowing the actual cause.Medical team required Kyle to have a defibrillator surgically implanted and wouldn't allow him to leave the hospital without this life-saving device due to his high risk of sudden cardiac arrest.Kyle was sent home with a battery-powered IV system that delivered medication directly through a line from his arm into his heart, while doctors could only diagnose him with viral heart failure.Doctors informed Kyle he would need an LVAD mechanical heart pump and eventual heart transplant to survive, requiring him to abstain from all substances for six months before being listed for transplant.Kyle began using cannabis on April 20th, the same day he was placed on the heart transplant list, after multiple prescription sleep medications failed to address his severe insomnia caused by heart medications.Cannabis provided Kyle with the first quality sleep he had experienced in months, and he continued using it despite initially hiding it from his wife who gradually became more accepting as she saw the positive results.Beyond sleep improvement, cannabis helped Kyle with anxiety, exercise performance, and managing pump pain from the LVAD device in his chest, which he could feel constantly and caused significant discomfort.Medical team discovered Kyle's cannabis use through drug testing after 6-12 months and removed him from the heart transplant list when he refused to stop using it, stating it was the only treatment that effectively helped his symptoms.Kyle's ejection fraction began improving within 1-2 months after the LVAD installation, and he regained a pulse within three months, indicating his heart was gaining strength through cardiac rehabilitation and exercise.Kyle currently takes only Eloquis blood thinner medication and has lost approximately 50 pounds from his original weight of 215-220 pounds, now maintaining 178-179 pounds and describing himself as being in the best shape of his life.Kyle advises people facing hopeless medical diagnoses to not give up, do their own research, and question doctors' recommendations, emphasizing that cannabis likely saved his life by enabling the sleep necessary for his body to recover.

It Happened To Me: A Rare Disease and Medical Challenges Podcast
Kenny Kasnett, a seasoned executive and entrepreneur whose life took an unexpected turn with a diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) joins the podcast for a powerful episode. What began as a persistent cough during a round of golf soon unraveled into a life-threatening condition that would ultimately require a lung transplant. Kenny opens up about the diagnostic journey, the emotional toll of living with ILD, and the difficult road leading up to transplant surgery. He shares a behind-the-scenes look at the complexities of preparing for and receiving a lung transplant, from waiting on the national registry to the moment he received the life-changing call. But Kenny's story is more than medical, it's about resilience, gratitude, and the extraordinary gift of a second chance at life. He speaks candidly about the pain, fear, and vulnerability he faced along the way, and how he leaned on the unwavering support of family, friends, and a stellar medical team. We also explore the long-term realities of transplant recovery, from managing medications and monitoring for rejection to navigating new physical limitations with hope and strength. Kenny's insights offer a beacon of light for others navigating lung disease and chronic illness. Topics Covered: Early signs and diagnosis of interstitial lung disease (ILD) Understanding ILD and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) Emotional and physical impact of progressive lung failure Choosing a lung transplant center and navigating evaluations The day of the transplant: fears, preparations, and gratitude Recovery and rehab: from ICU to walking again Long-term care, medications, and monitoring for rejection How this journey reshaped Kenny's perspective on life Advice for newly diagnosed patients and caregivers The importance of organ donation and honoring the donor Guest Bio: Kenny Kasnett is an accomplished business leader with decades of experience in finance, homebuilding, and real estate. Beyond his professional roles, Kenny is a lung transplant recipient and fierce advocate for those living with interstitial lung disease. Through his story, Kenny offers hope, encouragement, and critical insights into navigating serious illness with courage and grace.

This week we review a recent multicenter, randomized trial pitting 2 different immunosuppressive therapeutic approaches against each other. How did a novel approach of everolimus + low dose tacrolimus compare to more standard MMF + standard, higher dose tacrolimus in avoidance of major adverse transplant events or complications? How did this first ever prospective trial in the pediatric heart transplantation world start and how difficult was it to perform in the absence of corporate or NIH support? Why can these data help inform FDA labelling for this novel approach and why is this important? Dr. Kevin Daly of Boston Children's Hospital shares his deep insights into this work this week!DOI: 10.1001/jama.2025.14338
In this powerful episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban sits down with Lucy, a remarkable patient who faced one of the most difficult reconstructive journeys imaginable. At just nine years old, Lucy was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis and later primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), conditions that ultimately led her to undergo a life-saving liver transplant at the age of 26. Her brother became her living donor, giving her not only a second chance at life, but also a new battle: living with the aftermath of a massive Mercedes incision scar, abdominal wall weakness, and multiple failed hernia repairs. Dr. Rahban walks listeners through Lucy's story of resilience, exploring the intersection between reconstructive surgery and cosmetic outcomes. He explains why scar tissue, abdominal wall hernias, and post-transplant deformities are not just functional issues but deeply impact body image and confidence. Lucy's journey highlights how revision surgery is about more than “fixing” a scar — it's about restoring strength, balance, and aesthetic harmony to the abdomen. From failed liposuction recommendations to the dangers of blind fat transfers over hernias, Dr. Rahban exposes the pitfalls of one-size-fits-all surgical solutions. Instead, he reveals the meticulous, individualized approach required in cases like Lucy's — blending the principles of a tummy tuck (abdominoplasty), abdominal wall reconstruction, and functional hernia repair into a procedure that is both life-changing and aesthetically transformative. Seven months post-surgery, Lucy shares how she's back to horseback riding, jumping, and training multiple horses daily — a true testament to the power of plastic surgery done right. Together, Dr. Rahban and Lucy shed light on key lessons for anyone considering revision surgery, scar revision, or reconstructive procedures after major abdominal operations: Why transparency and patient education are non-negotiable.The red flags of overconfident surgeons.How to evaluate surgical recommendations that actually make sense.The importance of marrying form and function in every operation.This episode is not just about one patient's story — it's about a universal message: whether it's breast reconstruction, hernia repair, or abdominal scar revision, every patient deserves results that look as good as they feel.
Psychologist and heart-transplant recipient Dr. Brittany Clayborne shares how her own medical journey prepared her to guide her son Micah through sudden heart failure, an LVAD, and a life-saving transplant. She unpacks the family's rare Danon's disease diagnosis, post-transplant cancer (PTLD), and the everyday realities after transplant—meds, setbacks, and hope. You'll learn Dr. Brittany's BRAVE framework for hard moments, how rituals sustain connection during long hospital stays, and how Micah turned his experience into action with Transplant Teens and My Brave Journal. This conversation is packed with concrete tools, compassion, and the reminder that “hope is a team sport.” You do not want to miss this week's episode. Featured moments: 00:00 — Why families need “somewhere to be brave.” 04:50 — Brittany's peripartum cardiomyopathy, ICU wait, and LVAD. 10:05 — PTLD diagnosis and becoming the psychologist she needed. 12:50 — Micah's chest pain → HCM crisis and transplant path. 24:00 — The BRAVE acronym families can use today. 44:00 — “Hope is a team sport.” Transplant Teens' vision. Key takeaways: Use BRAVE in tough conversations: Breathe • Realize feelings • Accept them • Vent/Vulnerable with a trusted person • Elevate above it. Build predictable touchpoints (calls/visits) to anchor kids during long hospitalizations. Teens heal better with peers; if the group doesn't exist yet, create it.

Over 48,000 organ transplants happen each year in the U.S., but alarming new evidence shows that some donations begin before patients are truly dead More than 103,000 Americans are waiting for organ transplants, but safety shortcuts in donor evaluation have raised serious questions about how the system operates In one case, a man declared brain-dead woke up on the operating table moments before his organs were to be harvested — exposing a massive failure in protocol The investigation uncovered that nearly 1 in 3 “approved not recovered” (ANR) donations showed neurological signs incompatible with legal death New reforms now require hospitals to halt organ procurement if any sign of life is present and mandate full reporting to federal regulators
