Fr. Jacob and Fr. Sean discuss Fr. Jacob's latest hobby, gardening, and the spiritual analogies he's gleaned from his successes and failures striving to be a green thumb.
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

On the phone-in: you share your stories of random acts of kindness with journalist and author of Every Little Thing, Janice Landry. And off the top of the show, lung transplant patients in the Maritimes need to travel to Toronto for treatment. We hear how they face a growing number of out of pocket costs.
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.

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 incredible episode of Marrow Masters, we sit down with Kayla West, a stem cell donor from Texas, and Miriam Bauer, the mother of a young leukemia survivor Miley, from Oklahoma. This story is a deeply emotional journey of hope, resilience, and a connection that transcends bloodlines. Kayla and Miriam take us through the entire transplant process from both perspectives: the donor stepping up during a pandemic, and the caregiver navigating a life-threatening diagnosis in a child.We begin with Kayla's decision to join the donor registry after a chance encounter with DKMS at a Goo Goo Dolls concert. She didn't expect to be called to donate, but when she was, during COVID lockdown, she jumped at the chance to help someone—anyone—in need. That “anyone” turned out to be Miley, an eleven-year-old girl who had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and urgently needed a transplant after two brutal rounds of chemotherapy.Miriam recounts those terrifying early days at St. Jude, from the moment of diagnosis through the chaos of the early pandemic lockdowns. She was Miley's only caregiver during a 248-day hospital stay. Her story is filled with moments of heartbreak and triumph, from failed chemo rounds to the joy of reaching remission and finding a viable donor in Kayla. We learn how transplant coordination works, how donor cells were frozen and shipped during COVID, and how little details—like celebrating donor day or choosing a transplant date that coincides with family birthdays—brought joy in dark times.Post-transplant, Miley's life has been a mix of recovery and lingering health effects, but she's thriving. Miriam emphasizes advocacy, honesty, and self-care for caregivers. Kayla, for her part, reflects on the overwhelming emotion of learning she was a match, undergoing all the testing during COVID, and then finally meeting the recipient of her cells in an unforgettable reunion in New York. The two families, now bonded for life, meet regularly and have built a deep friendship. Next up: A trip for Kayla's family to Oklahoma to experience a powwow with Miriam, Miley, and their family!The videos below will have you reaching for the tissues and hopefully inspire many to get swabbed.Kayla also shares her decision to launch a nonprofit, SETX Leukemia Organization, focused on educating communities and recruiting new donors. Her goal is to prevent other families from facing what Miriam's did—wondering if there will be a match in time. Kayla's drive, born from her experience, continues to ripple outwards as she recruits more potential donors at local events with DKMS support.This episode isn't just about survival—it's about connection, purpose, and what can happen when strangers become family through an act of extraordinary generosity.SETX Leukemia Organization (Kayla's nonprofit): https://setxleukemia.org/DKMS (Be The Match partner organization): https://www.dkms.orgDKMS Video about Kayla, Miley, and Miriam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNhwRxXMbw8Thanks 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
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. His reflections underscore the complexity of transplant medicine and the value of shared data systems like Engraft. 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

Frank Parisi grew up in the mean streets of NYC, surviving a childhood in Little Italy around “made men” who didn't use words to settle their arguments… they used baseball bats. Though he made it through his rough childhood alive, he wasn't unscathed… He came out with two things: a high school sweetheart who would become his ride or die forever love (29 years and counting!)... and a nasty drug addiction that would almost take his life.This story of overcoming one thing only to succumb to another seems to be a hallmark of Frank's life. Just when he finally got his life on track, he was hit with another one-two punch: as he achieved (and began to really EMBRACE) sobriety, he started feeling… “unwell.”Like… REALLY unwell.A fleet of doctors couldn't figure it out… in fact, they were milling about in his hospital room in hazmat suits, thinking it may have been… tuberculosis.I know… tuberculosis???Turns out it wasn't tuburculosis… Frank's heart was failing. Fast. And there was only one way to save him: he would need a heart transplant.Needing an organ transplant is a weird thing, because it means that for you to live, you are waiting for someone else… to die.Where Frank's heart would come from would be the most intense part of his story yet… it's almost too wild to believe.Tune in to hear the story of a new heart that led to a new life… and a new spirit of gratitude that lit his flame so brightly, today he spends his life paying it forward… and changing the world.Show Notes:A big thank you to Frank for joining the podcast and sharing your inspiring story.

I get DMs all the time about things people love or hate about L.A. and one of the things people 'hate' the most are the transplants. Another thing people 'hate' are the natives. So who is right? Why do natives hate transplants and transplants hate natives? I dive into this dichotomy which is actually L.A.'s Civil War.

Gracie quickly recovered, returning home in 10 days and resuming school, ballet, and her favorite activities. This summer, she looks forward to swimming, seeing friends, and attending CHOA’s Camp Braveheart for transplant recipients. Gracie embraces her journey, saying her scar symbolizes her second chance at life.
