Podcasts about ultrasounds

Labor Live is your chance to practice navigating labor before you're actually in it. This interactive birth simulation delivers real-life labor scenarios straight to your phone, letting you make decisions, explore your options, and learn what questions to ask your provider along the way. Labor Live starts September 1. Head to https://joinlaborlive.com/ to save your spot! Low amniotic fluid can be one of those pregnancy diagnoses that sends you straight into a Google rabbit hole. So in this episode, HeHe sits down with board-certified OBGYN Dr. Lawren Honken to break down oligohydramnios, what it actually means, how it's diagnosed, and when low fluid may or may not mean it's time to induce. Dr. Lawren explains how providers measure amniotic fluid, including the difference between the single deepest pocket and AFI, and why one measurement may give us a more useful picture than the other. They also dig into what can contribute to low fluid, from dehydration and placental function to hypertension, preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, ruptured membranes, and other pregnancy complications. And then we get into the big question: Does low amniotic fluid automatically mean you need an induction? Spoiler: it's more nuanced than that. HeHe and Dr. Lawren talk through hydration and repeat ultrasounds, fetal monitoring, the risks associated with truly low fluid, ACOG guidance for isolated oligohydramnios, and what happens when you're trying to decide whether to continue the pregnancy or move toward delivery. They also have a really important conversation about informed consent, trauma-informed care, provider communication, and why a diagnosis shouldn't automatically mean you're rushed into a decision without understanding your options. Because sometimes the most empowering thing your provider can give you isn't another intervention. It's information, context, and the space to make an informed decision about your own body and baby. If you've been told you have low amniotic fluid, you're being monitored for oligohydramnios, or you're trying to understand when an induction is actually medically indicated, this is one you want in your back pocket.

Ethereum wants to slash staking yields toward zero. Gitcoin's Kevin Owocki, DV Labs' Oisín Kyne, and Ethereum-France's Jérôme de Tychey debate whether that breaks DeFi. ======================================================== Thank you to our sponsor! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit⁠ 1inch.com⁠ to swap tokenized securities, crypto and more.

Whatever asset you're buying - swap it at⁠ 1inch.com⁠ ======================================================== Ethereum's core developers are considering a decision that could cut ETH's staking yield toward zero, and DeFi's biggest names are furious about it. Jérôme de Tychey, President of Ethereum-France and a co-author of EIP-8363, joins Kevin Owocki, founder of Gitcoin, and Oisín Kyne, CEO of DV Labs, to argue through the proposal's tradeoffs. Aave's Stani Kulechov, Ether.fi's Mike Silagadze, and Joseph Chalom have all pushed back, warning the change guts DeFi's biggest source of yield. They cover the Nakamoto coefficient and why a 51% staking cartel could censor blocks for free, why solo stakers could see after-tax income collapse, and why Oisín is skeptical of an enshrined liquid staking token. Jérôme defends why Ethereum can pay stakers less and still be more secure than rivals boasting 7% yields. All Core Devs meets Thursday, August 20, and the real deadline lands October 26, when the network decides if EIP-8363 is mature enough to move forward.

    Bleeding is what kills people after injury. In this companion conversation to their earlier episode, host and vascular surgeon Dr. Wayne Causey asks Dr. John Pavlus, Chief of Interventional Radiology at Brooke Army Medical Center, to do the thing most medical conversations skip. He walks step by step through exactly how a bleeding trauma patient is treated without major surgery.   The tools are small. A needle, a short hollow tube called a sheath placed in the artery at the groin, wires thinner than a strand of spaghetti, and catheters steered by live X-ray to the one vessel that is leaking. The patient leaves with a bandage instead of an incision. The decisions behind those tools are what make the difference.    It starts with the CT scan. Contrast is injected and images are captured at three different moments, and the timing of those pictures decides what the doctor believes he is looking at. A scan done for a different purpose at an outside hospital can make a patient look like an arterial bleeder when the bleeding is coming from a vein instead, and veins are not something a catheter can easily fix. Getting the timing right is the difference between the right treatment and the wrong one.     From there the conversation turns to the system. At Brooke Army Medical Center, a trauma activation commits the interventional team to having a needle in the artery within sixty minutes of the call, at any hour. That standard was not bought with equipment. It was built on years of trust with the trauma surgeons, to the point that when a trauma surgeon calls a bleed, nobody argues about the pictures. Everyone moves, including anesthesia.    Then come the organs. The liver is complicated because it carries two separate blood supplies, and one of them cannot be reached easily from the inside. The spleen is the favorite, shut down with a metal coil placed at a precise landmark, sometimes in fifteen minutes. And the conversation closes on thrombin, a clotting agent injected through the skin under ultrasound, no X-ray required. It is cheap, it is simple, and it is the one tool a military interventional radiologist would want in his pack if told to deploy tomorrow.     The thread running through all of it is not equipment. It is repetition. Do the same thing the same way every time, and the mind is free to solve the problem that actually matters. Chapters (01:12-07:15) What Endovascular Care Actually Is and What the CT Scan Shows (07:15-12:23) The Sixty-Minute Clock and Activating the Trauma Interventional Radiology Pathway (12:23-20:49) A Bleeding Liver with Two Blood Supplies and Why Access Comes First (20:49-28:59) A Bleeding Spleen with Microcatheters Coils and Knowing When Good Enough Is Enough (28:59-35:51) Thrombin and the Simple Tool Worth Carrying Far Forward Chapter Summaries (01:12-07:15) What Endovascular Care Actually Is and What the CT Scan Shows    Dr. Pavlus defines his specialty in the plain language he uses with patients. Minimally invasive, image guided procedures done through pinholes in the skin, either plugging up an artery that is bleeding or lining the inside of an injured one with a small tube. The discussion then turns to the CT scan, where contrast dye is imaged at three separate moments, and how the timing of those pictures determines whether the bleeding is arterial, venous, or a contained pocket of blood called a pseudoaneurysm. (07:15-12:23) The Sixty Minute Clock and Activating the Trauma Interventional Radiology Pathway   A trauma surgeon standing at the scanner calls a bleed and the pathway fires. A single alert reaches the interventional radiologist, the nurse, the technologist, and the resident at the same time, and everyone drives in. The standard is a needle in the artery within sixty minutes of the call, and the guest is direct that the only way to hold that standard is to remove every point of debate from the process. Anesthesia is activated at the same moment, because these patients are rarely stable enough for anything less. (12:23-20:49) A Bleeding Liver with Two Blood Supplies and Why Access Comes First   The liver is harder than most people assume because it carries two separate incoming blood supplies, and the second one cannot be reached quickly from inside a catheter. That is why a certain grade of liver injury belongs in the operating room with a surgeon rather than in the radiology suite. The guest then walks through his access routine in detail, from ultrasound guided puncture of the artery at the groin to the specific wire and catheter he uses every single time, and explains why keeping the hole in the artery as small as possible matters in a patient who may receive thirty units of blood. (20:49-28:59) A Bleeding Spleen with Microcatheters Coils and Knowing When Good Enough Is Enough Splenic bleeding can be shut down with a metal coil placed at a precise landmark between two small pancreatic arteries. Dr. Pavlus explains why he abandoned one widely used technique after it tore an artery early in his career, and why he now threads a much smaller catheter inside his working catheter to reach the target safely. He is also candid that in an unstable patient at two in the morning, the goal is not a perfect result. It is a live patient who can be handed back to the trauma team. (28:59-35:51) Thrombin and the Simple Tool Worth Carrying Far Forward    Thrombin is a clotting agent injected directly through the skin with a needle, guided by ultrasound rather than X-ray. It is the standard repair for a pseudoaneurysm in the groin, but the guest has extended it to bleeding inside solid organs and small vessels in soft tissue that would be difficult or impossible to reach with a catheter. Because it requires no X-ray suite and almost no equipment, he names it as the single technique he would most want available in a far forward combat setting. The episode closes on consistency, repetition, and adapting a fixed base technique to whatever the patient in front of you presents. Take Home Messages Timing of the Contrast Changes the Answer: A CT scan is not one picture. Contrast dye is imaged before it arrives, as it fills the arteries, and again after it has spread, and comparing those three moments is what separates arterial bleeding from venous bleeding from an old finding that was never bleeding at all. A scan ordered for a different purpose at an outside hospital can point a team toward the wrong treatment entirely. Trust Is Built Long Before the Emergency: The sixty minute standard from phone call to needle in the artery is not achieved with faster equipment. It is achieved by removing every point of debate from the pathway, which only happens after years of a trauma service and a radiology service learning to rely on each other. When the trauma surgeon calls a bleed, nobody re-argues the pictures. Everyone moves. Access Is the Whole Game: You can perform the most elegant procedure in the world inside a patient, and if the puncture in the artery is mishandled, that is the only part anyone will remember. Ultrasound guidance takes no meaningful extra time, and keeping the opening as small as possible protects a patient who may go on to receive massive amounts of blood. Perfect Is the Enemy of Alive: In a stable patient with a low grade injury there is time to chase an ideal result. In a crashing patient at two in the morning there is not. Placing a coil in a good enough position and stopping high flow bleeding so the trauma team can move on is a legitimate and often correct decision, and knowing which situation you are in is a clinical skill of its own. The Simplest Tool May Be the Most Deployable: Thrombin injection needs a needle, an ultrasound probe, and a vial. No X-ray suite, no power injector, no shelf of catheters. That is exactly why it stands out as the technique most likely to work far forward, where the equipment, the imaging, and the logistics that a modern hospital takes for granted simply are not there.

A methods-focused episode about how muscle and body-composition measurements can mislead you when reading the research. The main event is a new Balshaw and colleagues paper concluding that ultrasound muscle thickness is a poor index of MRI-measured muscle growth. Trexler and Helms argue this shouldn't be read as "throw out all ultrasound research" — the real culprit is that muscle thickness is a crude one-dimensional snapshot with measurement error large enough to swamp the small changes seen in typical short studies, whereas MRI captures growth in more dimensions with better fidelity. They walk through why comparing across different dimensions and different devices matters, what researchers can do about it (bigger doses, larger samples, multiple measurements), and use the famous "sleep restriction kills your gains by 60%" study as an example of over-reading a tiny difference in ten people. The second half turns to DEXA. Prompted by someone confused that DEXA fat mass didn't line up with the 3,500-calorie rule, they explain DEXA's three-compartment model, why it measures fat mass rather than adipose tissue, and why lean soft tissue readings are so sensitive to hydration. The practical upshot: don't build your worldview on a kilogram of day-to-day DEXA noise, be cautious using DEXA to estimate energy status, and understand that flattening a three-dimensional body into a two-dimensional scan introduces real limits. They close with an extended, tongue-in-cheek bit about trademarking "muscle journey" dimensions. Iron Culture is proudly presented by the MASS Research Review.

Three years after his first appearance, Butterfly Network CEO Joe DeVivo returns to catch Harry up on the roadmap. Butterfly's ultrasound-on-a-chip has evolved from a single handheld device into a foundational semiconductor platform that third parties can build on. The most dramatic example: Midjourney's full-body scanner, which rings 40 Butterfly chips around the body for whole-body tomographic imaging. Joe and Harry dig into what's real today versus what's coming, the physics of ultrasound, the path from demo to FDA clearance, and the business logic of "multiple shots on goal."   In this episode:   The chip as a platform: opening Butterfly's technology to third-party developers (the "Nvidia moment").   Midjourney's full-body scanner: tomography, 400 teraflops of data, and a roadmap toward a one-minute scan with the Apollo chip.   Real-world impact: 1,500 midwives trained in Kenya and South Africa, plus a new FDA-cleared gestational-age AI tool.   Partners beyond Midjourney: vascular robotics, fatty liver diagnosis, and brain-computer interfaces (including "silent speech").   Physics Q&A: why 360-degree imaging solves ultrasound's problems with air and bone.   The hospital shift: capturing "ghost" scans, Compass AI, and at-risk skilled-nursing deployments.   The 10-year vision: imaging that comes to the patient instead of the patient going to imaging.   Chapters:   (00:01) A roadmap from three years ago (00:31) Midjourney unveils a full-body scanner (01:31) Joe DeVivo returns (02:59) What shipped: the chip becomes foundational (04:52) Opening the platform to third parties (06:34) Kenya and South Africa: midwives and the FDA-cleared gestational-age app (11:11) FDA rigor and validating AI (14:52) Butterfly Garden, Butterfly Embedded, and the nine partners (16:53) Brain-computer interfaces and silent speech (22:00) The Midjourney deal: origin and reaction (24:03) Tomography explained (28:12) What 40 chips can see and the data challenge (29:33) The roadmap to a one-minute scan; the Apollo chip (32:43) AI looking for a physical carrier (34:31) Prototype to product: milestones to clearance (38:28) Wellness first, then regulatory clearances (39:03) The physics of air and bone (41:45) The investment thesis: multiple shots on goal (46:26) The business today: Compass AI and health-system deployments (49:54) Heart-failure monitoring and at-risk skilled nursing (53:49) The 10-year view: imaging comes to the patient (57:18) Why early detection matters (59:50) Closing   About the guest: Joe DeVivo is CEO of Butterfly Network and has spent 35 years in medical devices.   Also mentioned: Harry's book, The Invisible Interface: How AI Turns Intentions into Actions and Who Wins (foreword by Don Norman), available in print and ebook.

In this episode of Curing with Sound, we speak with Jim Rorie, a licensed private investigator from North Carolina whose career and daily life were profoundly affected by chronic low back pain following a multi-vehicle collision. After months of physical therapy and painful nerve block injections, Jim became one of the first patients in the United States to be commercially treated with noninvasive focused ultrasound for his back pain.  He shares what led him to the procedure, what the treatment experience was like, and how it has transformed his pain, his work, and his quality of life. Discussion highlights: First-of-its-Kind Device Receives FDA Clearance: In November 2025, the FUSMobile Neurolyser XR system received De Novo clearance from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of chronic low back pain. The device, which uses focused ultrasound to ablate sensory nerves in the spinal facet joints, is also approved in Europe, Canada, and the UK. Renewed Hope and Quality of Life: Jim reflects on the difference focused ultrasound has made in his recovery, allowing him to return to his career as a private investigator and regain activities that chronic pain had previously limited.

There's nothing new under the sun. In this evergreen audio essay, host John Gerardi traces a startling line from the child sacrifice of the ancient world to the abortion debate in modern California. Reading through Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles, John unpacks why the Israelites were tempted to worship pagan gods like Baal, Asherah, and Molech, and how those religions divorced worship from morality (think Julius Caesar as both high priest and war criminal) in ways that made discarding inconvenient children disturbingly ordinary, from Roman infant exposure to Spartan eugenics. Then John turns to the revolution: how Judaism and Christianity reshaped Western civilization by insisting that women, slaves, the poor, and the unborn all bear the image of God, and how the earliest Christians stood apart precisely because they refused to abandon their children. Finally, he tackles the question every pro-lifer wrestles with: if the science is settled, why is abortion more popular than ever? His answer is a challenge to rethink compassion itself, from moral imagination and the difference between empathy and sympathy, to the cold economics of Medi-Cal that pay for abortion while maternity wards like Madera Community Hospital shut their doors.

For a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy, one appointment can open the door to practical support, renewed hope, and the life-changing message of the gospel. Dan Steiner, Founder and President of PreBorn!, joined the show today to explain how the ministry partners with pregnancy clinics across the country to serve women in crisis, protect unborn children, and introduce families to the hope found in Jesus Christ. A Calling Rooted in Christ Steiner's involvement in the pregnancy center movement began during his personal time with the Lord. As he prayed about how his life could reflect gratitude for what Christ had done for him, he became increasingly burdened by abortion and the lives affected by it. That conviction eventually led him to serve at a pregnancy center in the Midwest and later establish PreBorn!. From the beginning, Steiner says the ministry has been grounded in a simple conviction: Christ must remain at the center. Women facing unplanned pregnancies often need medical services, practical resources, and compassionate guidance. But their deepest need, like ours, is the hope and restoration found in Jesus. Today, PreBorn! works with nearly 300 pregnancy clinics, particularly in cities with high abortion rates. The ministry helps establish clinics, provides ultrasound equipment, covers the cost of ultrasound appointments, trains leaders, supports medical personnel, and connects women searching online for abortion information with nearby pregnancy clinics. Why Ultrasounds Matter Ultrasound technology is central to PreBorn!'s work because it allows a mother to see her child, often for the first time. According to PreBorn!, women who receive an ultrasound are significantly more likely to continue their pregnancies. The image on the screen can transform an abstract and frightening situation into a deeply personal encounter. Steiner shared the story of a pregnant 13-year-old who arrived at one of the ministry's partner clinics intending to have an abortion. She believed she was too young to become a mother and had not told her own mother about the pregnancy. But when she saw her child on the ultrasound screen, she began to weep. She chose life, and an adoption plan was later arranged for her baby. The ultrasound did not remove every difficulty she faced. It did, however, give her the opportunity to better understand the life developing inside her and to consider a different path. Caring for Women Beyond the Appointment Choosing life is often only the beginning of a woman's journey. Many women considering abortion are confronting financial pressure, unstable relationships, housing challenges, or uncertainty about how they will care for a child. That is why PreBorn's partner clinics seek to provide more than a single appointment. Depending on the clinic and the woman's needs, support may include maternity clothing, diapers, cribs, car seats, parenting resources, counseling, and ongoing care for several years. This compassionate approach recognizes that caring for an unborn child also means caring for the mother. Christians should never treat a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy as a political symbol or a problem to be solved. She is a person made in the image of God who deserves patience, dignity, truth, and practical help. “Let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth” (1 John 3:18). Sharing the Hope of Christ PreBorn! describes its mission as saving lives for both earth and eternity. Protecting unborn children is an essential part of its work, but the ministry also wants every woman and family it serves to hear the gospel. Romans 1:16 is central to that mission: “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” Steiner recalled one young couple who entered a clinic divided over what to do. The father was pressuring his girlfriend to have an abortion because he feared repeating the destructive patterns he had witnessed in his own family. A counselor placed a fetal model representing the approximate size of their baby in his hand. As he looked at it, he began to cry. He knew abortion was not the answer, but he also felt powerless to become the father his child needed. The counselor then shared the hope of the gospel and explained that Jesus could redeem his past and begin transforming his future. According to Steiner, both parents placed their faith in Christ and chose life for their child. PreBorn! reports that more than 100,000 people have committed their lives to Christ through its ministry over the past two decades. These decisions are not produced by an ultrasound or a counseling technique. Salvation belongs to the Lord. Yet God often works through faithful people who combine truth, compassion, and practical care. Responding to a Changing Landscape Although the legal landscape surrounding abortion has changed significantly in recent years, the need for pregnancy care has not disappeared. The growing availability of abortion pills online means many women may never enter a traditional abortion facility. Instead, they can locate providers, schedule telehealth appointments, and receive medication through the mail. PreBorn! is responding by using digital outreach to connect with women as they search online. Trained team members can speak with them, answer questions, and help schedule appointments with partner clinics where they can receive medical services, an ultrasound, and compassionate support. This changing environment requires pregnancy ministries to pair unwavering biblical convictions with wisdom, innovation, and sensitivity. Behind every online search is a woman who may be frightened, isolated, or unsure where to turn. The goal is not merely to win an argument. It is to reach her with truth and love before she makes a decision she cannot reverse. Using God's Resources to Defend Life Faithful stewardship involves asking how the resources God has entrusted to us can be used to serve our neighbors and advance gospel-centered work. A gift of $28 to PreBorn helps provide an ultrasound for a woman facing an unplanned pregnancy. Donors may also fund an ultrasound machine for $15,000. According to Steiner, a single machine may remain in service for approximately 10 years and produce hundreds of scans each year. Of course, Christians will not all support the same organizations or participate in this work in the same way. Some may give financially. Others may volunteer, foster, adopt, mentor young parents, provide meals, or support a local pregnancy center. What matters is that our concern for life takes visible form. When God's people respond with generosity, women receive compassionate care, families find practical support, unborn children are given an opportunity for life, and doors open for the hope of Christ to be shared.

If his parents open either type of account and I contribute, would I receive any tax benefit, and how would that work? I'm semi-retired, turning 65 in November, and currently have health, dental, and vision insurance through my school job, including an HSA that helps cover medical expenses. Do I still need to sign up for Medicare at 65, even if I keep my current coverage? And if so, how should I go about it?

For this episode Mike is back in one of his favorite cities: London. On this trip to London, Mike found an amazing comic shop called Gosh! Comics, near the famous Piccadilly Circle in London's West End. Most shops in the UK are fairly small in physical size, but However, Gosh! Comics was quite large in size, especially considering both floors of the shop. The main floor is largely dedicated to graphic novels (which they specialize in) and the basement level contains a large back issue stock. Mike had the pleasure of interviewing Gregg, the co-manager specializing in Indy press books at Gosh! Comics, as you will be able to tell by his book recommendation. Now, there is another story to tell, but I will leave that until the next Pitstop episode, which is also connected to this store. Described as an “Industrial-chic shop for comics and graphic novels, from mainstream to manga and cutting edge”, this is an awesome shop to visit, so be sure to check it out when you're visiting London Town! Then, Mike is joined by podcast fellow podcaster, George Hanna, to cover Ultrasound, a 2022 psychological thriller graphic novel by Conor Stechschulte and published by Fantagraphics Books. It is a book that will leave you unsettled but completely enthralled — the kind of book that rewards rereading. The story was adapted into a feature film (2021), directed by Robert Schroeder and starring Vincent Kartheiser (Mad Men), premiered at Tribeca Film Festival to strong reviews and later streamed on Hulu. George is one of the hosts of Meanwhile at the Podcast, a show that covers it all...pop culture, entertainment, fandom, you name it.

Aaron Timm, CEO of Openwater, is driving the shift from single-purpose, room-sized equipment to multi-purpose, portable, light-weight medical devices designed on an open-source platform. Some tools use infrared light to measure blood flow in real time for applications such as stroke detection. Another device uses focused ultrasound to modulate tissue in the brain for treating neurodegenerative diseases and psychiatric conditions. The platform is designed so that a single hardware device can run multiple applications, allowing researchers to adapt and develop applications specific to their work, bringing innovation into the marketplace similar to the smartphone app environment. Aaron explains, "So we have two primary devices. One uses infrared light to measure blood flow and blood volume in real time. So that one is being used, for example, to measure blood flow to the brain to help determine whether someone is having a stroke. At the University of Pennsylvania, there was a study done using that device, where our device outperformed the existing stroke scales. The other device that we have is a focused ultrasound device. And what that device does is it uses sound waves or focused ultrasound to target and modulate tissue in the brain and elsewhere in the body. That's being used in research today for all sorts of neurodegenerative diseases, psychiatric diseases. And there's just a lot going on in the world of focused ultrasound, including using our devices."   "So this focused ultrasound device and the science behind it eliminates the need for drugs or surgery and just uses focused ultrasounds to modulate or stimulate things within the brain, for example. It's used for everything from depression, anxiety, Alzheimer's disease, and addiction. Many different indications are being addressed in research using these kinds of devices, including ours." #OpenwaterHealth #MedTech, #NonInvasiveCare, #PortableHealthcare, #PatientAccess, #HealthcareInnovation #FocusedUltrasound #LIFU #Hemodynamics #Openwater #OpenLIFU #OpenMotion #DigitalHealth #Neurotechnology #StrokeCare #AIinHealthcare #OpenSourceMedicine #ClinicalResearch #WearableMedicalDevices #HealthcareInnovation openwater.health Listen to the podcast here

In this episode of RAPM Focus, Editor-in-Chief Brian Sites, MD, discusses the optimal analgesic approach for reducing postoperative pain following ambulatory hip arthroscopy with Laura Girón Arango, MD, Joanne Tan, MBBS (Hons), FRACP, and Sinéad Campbell, MB, BCh, BAO, FCAI. Their conversation follows the March 2026 publication of their original research paper, “Analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block for ambulatory hip arthroscopy: a randomized controlled double-blind trial.” Hip arthroscopy is an increasingly common outpatient surgical procedure where postoperative pain can be severe. Peripheral nerve blocks have been evaluated for analgesia following hip arthroscopy; however, there is no consensus on an optimal technique that provides effective local anesthetic-based postoperative analgesia without motor blockade. In this study, the investigators hypothesized that the pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block would provide effective motor-sparing analgesia following ambulatory hip arthroscopy, randomizing 94 patients undergoing outpatient hip arthroscopy to receive either a preoperative pain block with 20ml of 0.5% ropivacaine or a sham procedure. Dr. Laura Girón Arango is a staff anesthesiologist at Toronto Western Hospital and Women's College Hospital, and an assistant professor at the University of Toronto. Her clinical and academic work focuses on regional anesthesia and point of care ultrasound. Her research has centered on motor-sparing regional anesthesia techniques for hip and knee surgery, including the PENG, iPACK, and adductor canal blocks. Additional areas of interest include perioperative diaphragm ultrasound assessment and the use of gastric ultrasound to evaluate aspiration risk, particularly in patients receiving GLP-1 receptor agonists. Through this work, she aims to advance perioperative safety, improve individualized pain management, and promote the integration of ultrasound into routine anesthetic practice.  Dr. Joanne Tan is a consultant anesthetist, regional anesthesia lead, and regional anesthesia fellowship supervisor at the Royal Adelaide Hospital in Adelaide, Australia, and a clinical lecturer at the Adelaide University. She completed a regional anesthesia fellowship at the Toronto Western Hospital and University of Toronto, and neuroanesthesia and upper GI fellowships at the Royal Adelaide hospital. Her interests include regional anesthesia, POCUS, neuroanesthesia, quality improvement, medical education, and making memes.  Dr. Sinéad Campbell is a staff anesthesiologist at Toronto Western and Women's College Hospital in Toronto, and an assistant professor at the University of Toronto. Her clinical practice focuses on regional anesthesia and neuroanesthesia. Her research interests include regional anesthesia and perioperative cognitive impairment. She is actively involved in clinical education, with a focus on teaching ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia and practical perioperative decision-making to trainees. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

In this episode of the Beautifully Broken Podcast, Freddie Kimmel talks with Jon Hacker, co-founder of Zenbud, about the broken incentive structures inside MedTech and academia — from the unnecessary gatekeeping around credentials and funding, to an insurance system that rewards defensibility over efficacy. Jon shares his personal path from an eleven-year-old fascinated by the nervous system to building a company focused on non-invasive, science-backed nervous system technology, and the two explore what it really means to "meet people where they are" instead of demanding a total lifestyle overhaul. The conversation then turns to Zenbud itself: how the device uses ultrasound (not electrical stimulation) to support the vagus nerve, the history and research behind vagus nerve stimulation, early tolerability and reaction-time data, and why Jon is skeptical of HRV as a standalone metric. They close out with a candid look at frictionless, daily-life-compatible wellness tech, Zenbud's 90-day guarantee, and where the product is headed next — including future plans for real-time brain activity feedback.

CardioNerds co-chairs Dr. Dinu Balanescu and Dr. Billy Joe Mullinax, along with FIT lead Dr. Shiavax Rao, discuss the evolving landscape of randomized controlled trials in pulmonary embolism with Dr. Jay Giri, interventional cardiologist, Associate Professor of Medicine, and Director of the Cardiovascular Catheterization Laboratories at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. This episode examines the historical evidence behind systemic thrombolysis, the emergence of catheter-directed therapies and mechanical thrombectomy, and the landmark RCTs – STORM-PE, PEERLESS, HI-PEITHO, and PEERLESS II – that are reshaping intermediate-risk PE management. The discussion highlights challenges in PE trial design, the critical importance of clinical deterioration as an endpoint, and why this era represents an unprecedented wave of evidence generation in PE. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Dr. Julia Marques Fernandes. Dr. Dinu Balanescu and Dr. Billy-Joe Mullinax are Co-chairs for the CardioNerds PE Series, developed in collaboration with the PERT Consortium.   Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values.

Pearls: Systemic thrombolysis in intermediate-risk PE reduces hemodynamic decompensation but at the cost of ~1.5–2% intracranial hemorrhage risk – a near-zero net benefit that has driven the search for safer catheter-based alternatives. “Focus on clinical deterioration, not mortality” – Due to crossover design in contemporary PE RCTs, control-arm patients who decompensate are rescued with advanced therapies, biasing mortality toward the null. Clinical deterioration is the most informative endpoint to watch in HI-PEITHO, PRAGUE-26, and PEERLESS II. HI-PEITHO is the first large RCT to demonstrate that catheter-directed fibrinolysis plus anticoagulation significantly reduces the composite of PE-related death, cardiorespiratory decompensation, or PE recurrence versus anticoagulation alone (RR 0.39; 95% CI 0.20–0.77; P=0.005), with no intracranial hemorrhage in either arm. The four major upcoming/recently reported PE RCTs (HI-PEITHO, PRAGUE-26, PEERLESS II, PE-TRACT) enroll progressively different risk populations – from the most enriched (HI-PEITHO) to the most permissive (PE-TRACT, which includes intermediate-low risk patients) – enabling a nuanced understanding of which patients benefit most from intervention. PE device clearance follows a fundamentally different FDA pathway than structural heart devices (single-arm safety/efficacy studies vs. mandated RCTs), yet market forces and clinical need have ultimately driven industry and government to sponsor large-scale RCTs – a lesson in how evidence development can evolve organically alongside regulatory frameworks. Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Shiavax Rao. Question #1: What is the current evidence behind advanced PE therapies? Systemic thrombolysis: Sixteen RCTs over 40 years (1972–2014) enrolling nearly 2,000 patients have studied systemic thrombolysis in intermediate-risk PE. The landmark PEITHO trial (n=1,006) showed that tenecteplase reduced the composite of death or hemodynamic collapse (2.6% vs. 5.6%; P=0.015), driven primarily by reduced hemodynamic decompensation (1.6% vs. 5.0%; P=0.002). However, this came at the cost of increased major bleeding (6.3% vs. 1.5%; P

In this episode of the Purr Podcast, Dr. Serge Chalhoub joins Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle to talk about something that is quietly changing how veterinarians work up feline urinary disease: point-of-care ultrasound. Rather than sending a cat off for specialist imaging or guessing at what is happening in the bladder, point-of-care ultrasound puts answers right there in the exam room, in real time, without the wait and without the stress of extra procedures. Dr. Chalhoub, a board-certified internal medicine specialist at the University of Calgary whose clinical interests center on nephrology, urology, and minimally invasive diagnostics, walks through what bedside ultrasound actually shows, when it changes the clinical picture, and why it is becoming an essential skill for practitioners.Thanks for tuning in to the Purr Podcast with Dr. Susan and Dr. Jolle!If you enjoyed today's episode, don't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave us a review—it really helps other cat lovers and vet nerds find the show.

In today's episode we reference the following resources:Should I be induced? Evidence on the ARRIVE TrialPlanning Your Successful VBAC**********Welcome to the June Q&A! In today's episode, we begin with a listener who has some things to say about the term VBAC. Our questions begin with one from a new mother whose enthusiastic in-laws are eager to babysit her exclusively breastfed baby. The conversation is less about breastfeeding and more about expectations, trust and boundaries.Next, we answer one we've never been asked: "What do contractions actually feel like?" How's it possible this hasn't come up before?!Then, we discuss a common late-pregnancy scenario: a routine ultrasound that leads to concerns about a "big baby." When a healthy 38-week pregnant woman is told her baby's abdomen is measuring large, how much weight should she give to that information? As always, we finish with Quickies, covering cervical lips, high-lipase milk, pacifiers, coffee during pregnancy, milk blebs, antidepressants, swaddling, wake windows, dates, sex, retained placenta, induction, creatine, and a few personal questions about coffee preferences and family size.Have a question for a future Q&A?

Anthony Tardi, head of ultrasound and radiology CT at Samsung HME America, is developing non-invasive, portable tools such as quantitative ultrasound to enable earlier detection of diseases that can be reversed if caught early. AI is being used to automate tedious, clerical tasks in imaging, allowing clinicians to focus more on the patient and clinical assessment.  Improving gateway imaging, such as ultrasound and X-rays, is seen as a way to benefit the entire healthcare system by potentially reducing the need for more expensive scans. Anthony explains, "We're developing technologies that use ultrasound to have a non-invasive tool that reduces the ionizing radiation and is able to quickly identify different levels of hepatic steatosis using quantitative ultrasound. So we're developing tools that, instead of getting a patient needing to have a biopsy or maybe another modality that may be more expensive or not accessible, such as MRI, we're able to develop tools using ultrasound to be able to acquire that information. So that would just be one example."   "So technology continues to evolve. I would say in the case of this particular technology, it's a combination of automation being implemented. We have access to some of the best hardware and semiconductor innovation, and we integrate those into the ultrasound systems. That gives us a little more power and automation, enabling us to access new levels of information beyond the traditional norm, I would say, in imaging." #SamsungHMEAmerica #SamsungHealthcare #MedicalImaging #HealthcareInnovation #ImagingInnovation #PatientCare #MedicalEquipment #UltrasoundInnovation #HealthTech #Ultrasound #Radiology #AIinHealthcare #DigitalHealth usa.samsunghealthcare.com Download the transcript here

What if autoimmune disease could be treated without another injection, infusion, or daily pill? In this episode of Entrepreneur Rx, host John Shufeldt sits down with Nishant Doctor, founder and CEO of Surf Therapeutics, to discuss his journey from medtech engineer to healthcare entrepreneur. Nishant shares how nearly two decades in neuromodulation, R&D, clinical development, and commercialization led him to build Surf Therapeutics, a Stanford spin-out developing a breakthrough ultrasound neuromodulation platform for autoimmune disease. The conversation explores the science behind Surf's at-home, non-invasive ultrasound therapy device for rheumatoid arthritis, the role of the spleen and inflammatory pathways, what it takes to build and test medical technology in a startup environment, and why speed, data, accountability, and solution-oriented thinking matter so much in early-stage innovation. John and Nishant also discuss leadership, technical founders, the future of AI, and what it means to build something that may feel non-consensus today but could change how patients are treated tomorrow.  About Nishant Doctor: Nishant Doctor is the founder and CEO of Surf Therapeutics. He has more than 18 years of experience leading R&D and commercial efforts at medtech and neurotechnology companies, including Medtronic, Abbott, and LivaNova. Trained as an engineer, Nishant has helped build multiple implantable Class III medical devices and has also been closely involved in the sales and commercialization of those technologies. His career has focused on neuromodulation, medical device innovation, and translating complex science into technologies that can improve patient care.  About Surf Therapeutics: Surf Therapeutics, a Stanford spin-out, is building a breakthrough ultrasound neuromodulation platform to treat autoimmune disorders, like Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) —conditions that leave over 2 million Americans without effective or tolerable treatment options, even with blockbuster drugs like Humira and Rinvoq. After years of foundational research at Stanford, they've developed the first of its kind, at-home non-invasive ultrasound therapy device that is used just for a few minutes a day and validated to be clinically safe and effective for treatment of RA.    About Xcellerant Ventures: Xcellerant Ventures is a venture capital firm that invests in innovative companies across healthcare, technology, defense, and other emerging industries.

Calcific tendinitis is a common, painful condition that can cause intense pain and dysfunction of the shoulder. However, in spite of its commonality, there is much we do not understand about it including why it occurs. One thing we do know is that, in most cases, the calcium will just go away, however we do not have any way to predict how long that may take to occur. A variety of treatment options are available to treat calcific tendinitis including several non-surgical options such as physical therapy, cortisone injections, and barbotage, as well as surgery. Because the natural history of calcific tendinitis is one of self-resolution, surgery is typically reserved for long-standing cases where non-surgical treatments have been tried and failed. Authors Ryan Gilbert, BA & Dr. Albert Lin, MD from University of Pittsburgh Medical Center join us to discuss their study looking at success rates of these 3 non-surgical options as well as the success rates for patients who opted for surgery as an initial treatment or after failing at least one non-surgical option. If you've failed one of the non-operative treatment, should you try another one or just go to surgery?

Cardiac arrest care hinges on high‑quality CPR, but pulse checks remain a stubborn source of interruptions — often longer than the recommended 10 seconds and repeated every two minutes. What if we could detect ROSC without ever pausing compressions? This diagnostic accuracy study evaluates whether femoral arterial Doppler waveforms obtained during active CPR can predict arterial line pulsatility at the next pulse check. Join Dr. Qin as she reviews how well Doppler‑detected pulsatility and anterograde flow signal true cardiac activity — and whether ultrasound could offer a future where pulse checks no longer slow us down.
