Bill Padula, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pharmaceutical and Health Economics, and Dr. David Armstrong, professor of surgery and Neurological surgery, are both at the University of Southern California and are concerned about wound care and the impact of potential changes in Medicare reimbursement of skin substitutes. They discuss the importance of skin substitutes in chronic wound care and their effectiveness in reducing amputations and hospital readmissions. With current advancements in wound care,  there is an emphasis on the need for education and advocacy to ensure that Medicare understands the value of skin substitutes and their potential for improving patient outcomes. David explains, "The skin substitutes we are talking about have been really helpful over the past, maybe at least the last decade, maybe even the last two decades, and especially over the last few years. We've seen now in some studies from our group and others that we can not only reduce amputation, but we can also reduce hospital admission and emergency department admission for these patients. So it's a really exciting time. And so that's on the positive end. On the not so positive end is that there have been some changes, and I'm sure Dr. Padula can talk about this. That may limit our access to it as clinicians, which is concerning certainly for the patients that I'm having right across the hallway." Bill elaborates, "Up until recently, Medicare hasn't put a lot of governance on reimbursement for skin substitutes, and physicians have been using them autonomously with the patient to treat non-healing chronic wounds. We see from the data that these skin substitutes work best when applied on a patient every one to seven days in a wound clinic, like what David Armstrong runs here at the University of Southern California. Medicare wants to change the reimbursement pattern and reduce reimbursement so that it would be impossible to get reimbursed for more than ten applications of a skin substitute in twelve weeks. So, that reimbursement system makes it impossible for providers and patients to follow parameters for use and improve the likelihood of healing a chronic wound." #SkinSubstitute #Medicare #CMS #ChronicWounds  Keck School of Medicine at USC Download the transcript here

It's not often that you have the chance to benefit from the sweeping perspective of someone who has been in the same profession for 50 years, but that is the fortunate circumstance we find ourselves in on this episode of Raise the Line. Our guest, Dr. Jim Gordon, describes the remarkable evolution of physical therapists from being limited to hospital-based, post-op rehabilitation to becoming community-based providers of choice in a wide and growing list of specialties from orthopedics to oncology. “We have established ourselves as essential actors in the healthcare system. We have the education and research behind us, but most important, I think we have credibility among other healthcare professionals and with patients.” As the leader of one of the top ranked physical therapy programs in the US at the University of Southern California, Gordon is in a position to shape the future of the field as well. As he tells host Hillary Acer, he sees a greater role for physical therapists in prevention and primary care, and also expects changes in the application of new technologies in neurorehabilitation, his area of specialty. “What we're trying to do is not look at technologies as a solution in and of themselves and instead develop a patient-centered approach which focuses on how people are able to use these technologies to make their lives better.” Don't miss this great opportunity for a unique look at the current and future state of a vital part of the healthcare system from a leading figure in the field.Mentioned in this episode: https://pt.usc.edu/

The ideal business is one where the needs of the employees are balanced perfectly with the goals of the business. One key to finding this balance is hospitality among employees. On today's episode of Defining Hospitality, Dan talks to an expert on working with your employees. Joining the show this week is Principal & Vice President at C+TC Design Studio, Billie ThorneBillie and Dan Billie sit down to dive into her experiences as a leader in the world of hospitality. Billie shares ways to best work with your employees, how to be hospitable to your coworkers, and the importance of carving out time for self care. Takeaways:  Hospitality is about kindness and finding where you are comfortable. Once you get settled in a good place, you can extend your hand to newer employees and help them learn and grow.  Building a team of professionals requires different forms of guidance and understanding. Some people need to be prompted to think about their goals and aspirations and others need a small push to a healthy space outside their comfort zone. Finding the right employees doesn't only mean looking at a resume, rather, it involves feedback from members of the team. Team members who enjoy each other's presence and can cooperate smoothly will be more willing to work together in person.  Individual employee goals have to work in coordination with functional business. There has to be a balance between allowing people to focus on personal goals and working to maintain the profit and productivity of the business. Work smarter not longer. Though long hours can be sometimes helpful for productivity, more often, you can achieve more on a regular day rather than working late, because as you reach the end of the day, fatigue slows your efficiency. It is important to be hospitable to both clients and coworkers, but often, hospitality toward coworkers is overlooked. However, it can be shown when one employee helps another reach a deadline without being asked.  In any industry, you may encounter problems that seem daunting. Cross-industry collaboration may prove useful to come up with unique solutions that aren't typically used in certain situations.  Quote of the Show:“There are some mistakes everybody needs to make for themselves to learn from them.” - Billie ThorneLinks: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/billie-thorne-5bbba211/  Company website: https://ctcdesignstudio.com/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ctc_designstudio/  Shout Outs: 03:11 - HBA: https://www.hba.com/  36:29 - University Of Texas: https://www.utexas.edu/  36:54 - University Of Southern California: https://www.usc.edu/  Ways to Tune In:  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0A2XOJvb6mGqEPYJ5bilPX Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/defining-hospitality-podcast/id1573596386 Google Podcasts: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZGVmaW5pbmdob3NwaXRhbGl0eS5saXZlL2ZlZWQueG1s Amazon Music: ​​https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/8c904932-90fa-41c3-813e-1cb8f3c42419

Sustainability truly encompasses the responsibility of each individual within the campus community, shares Ellen Dux, the esteemed Associate Director of Sustainability at the University of Southern California.   In this enlightening episode, Ellen and Dylan embark on an exploration of the prevailing culture of conservation and sustainability that pervades the USC Campus. They highlight the paramount significance of fostering unity among individuals with regards to this pressing subject. Delving into USC's sustainability initiatives, the discussion showcases their commendable efforts in curbing energy and water consumption, augmenting renewable energy sources, procuring carbon offsets, and even touches on their remarkable accomplishment of achieving zero waste at the Coliseum.    Sustainability is a responsibility that we all must agree to implement into our daily lives as individuals and as communities. And USC's efforts are a thrilling testament to the power of sustainability and its undeniable significance in shaping a brighter future for our planet.   Quotes "It's all due to those first two guys at the Coliseum who just looked at a problem and said, ‘I know there's a way we can solve this and we can make a difference.'" (08:58-11:22 | Dylan) "USC will no longer be using USC funds to purchase single use plastic beverage bottles...we encourage everybody to...bring your water bottle, bring your refillables and use something…to get your water from a hydration station." (13:56-16:38 | Ellen) "We would most likely be buying some carbon offsets in 2025 to get us across the finish line for whatever we weren't able to do operationally... Nobody gets there without a real plan." (21:17-23:49 | Ellen) "We should be graduating sustainable Trojans who go forth to be sustainable citizens." (28:41-30:10 | Ellen) "We often call it sort of building the sustainability muscle, making sure that people can find community in common cause around this work."

CardioNerds (Drs. Amit Goyal and Dan Ambinder) join Dr. Emily Lee (LAC+USC Internal medicine resident) and Dr. Charlie Lin (LAC+USC Cardiology fellow) as the discuss an important case of stimulant-related (methamphetamine) cardiovascular toxicity that manifested in right ventricular dysfunction due to severe pulmonary hypertension. Dr. Jonathan Davis (Director, Heart Failure Program at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center) provides the ECPR for this episide. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy Intern, student doctor Akiva Rosenzveig. With the ongoing methamphetamine epidemic, the incidence of stimulant-related cardiovascular toxicity continues to grow. We discuss the following case: A 36-year-old man was hospitalized for evaluation of dyspnea and volume overload in the setting of previously untreated, provoked deep venous thrombosis. Transthoracic echocardiogram revealed severe right ventricular dysfunction as well as signs of pressure and volume overload. Computed tomography demonstrated a prominent main pulmonary artery and ruled out pulmonary embolism. Right heart catheterization confirmed the presence of pre-capillary pulmonary arterial hypertension without demonstrable vasoreactivity. He was prescribed sildenafil to begin management of methamphetamine-associated cardiomyopathy and right ventricular dysfunction manifesting as severe pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension. CardioNerds is collaborating with Radcliffe Cardiology and US Cardiology Review journal (USC) for a ‘call for cases', with the intention to co-publish high impact cardiovascular case reports, subject to double-blind peer review. Case Reports that are accepted in USC journal and published as the version of record (VOR), will also be indexed in Scopus and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).

Case Media - stimulant-related (methamphetamine) cardiovascular toxicity Pearls - stimulant-related (methamphetamine) cardiovascular toxicity 1. Methamphetamine, and stimulants in general, can have a multitude of effects on the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. Effects of methamphetamine are thought to be due to catecholamine toxicity with direct effects on cardiac and vascular tissues. Acutely, methamphetamine can cause vascular constriction and vasospasm, while chronic exposure is associated with endothelial damage. Over time, methamphetamine can cause pulmonary hypertension, atherosclerosis, cardiac arrhythmias, and dilated cardiomyopathy. 2. Methamphetamines are the second most commonly misused substances worldwide after opiates. Patients with methamphetamine-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have more severe pulmonary vascular disease, more dilated and dysfunctional right ventricles, and worse prognoses when compared to patients with idiopathic PAH. Additionally, patients with methamphetamine-associated cardiomyopathy and PAH have significantly worse outcomes and prognoses when compared to those with structurally normal hearts without evidence of PAH. Management includes multidisciplinary support, complete cessation of methamphetamine use, and guideline-directed treatment of PAH. 3. The diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) begins with the history and physical, followed by confirmatory testing using echocardiography and invasive hemodynamics (right heart catheterization). Initial serological evaluation may include routine biochemical, hematologic, endocrine, hepatic, and infectious testing. Though PH is traditionally diagnosed and confirmed in a two-step, echocardiogram-followed-by-catheterization model, other diagnostics often include electrocardiography, blood gas analysis, spirometry, ventilation/perfusion assessment,

Jesse Wu is the Creative Director for the University of Southern California. Growing up, Jesse didn't see much Asian influence in Pro American Sports, but didn't let that detour him from his aspirations of working in sports. As we celebrate Asian American and Pacific Islanders Month, as well as Mental Health Awareness Month, he describes his experiences with both. 

The University of Southern California Faithful, Scholarly, Skillful, Courageous, Ambitious.  When I think back to my experience as a Trojan,  I can only describe it as a feeling that I went to school with a bunch of superheroes. The bravado, confidence, and can-do spirit found in Trojans is equal to that of Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, and Captain America. But it is the will and the desire to save the world,  or at least the small part of his or her world,  that is the real spirit of USC. The capes we wear, the causes we fight for, and the communities we serve make me proud to be a Trojan.  With the idea of a superhero in mind, it is no surprise that USC's  Norman Topping Student Aid Fund is the only student initiated, student funded, primarily student administered scholarship in the nation. Let me repeat – the ONLY student funded scholarship in the nation.  According the NTSAF website and history – here is the tale: After a 1970 protest about the homogeneity of the student body, a referendum established a system whereby every academic semester all students enrolled in more than one unit were assessed a nominal fee of $4.00. Ron McDuffie and Dan Smith, two USC undergraduate students came up with the idea to create a fund that would provide qualified low income students, particularly those from the communities surrounding USC, the opportunity to receive scholarship assistance. To this date, the student self-assessed semester fee has increased to $8.00 which has allowed the NTSAF to contribute over $10 million in scholarships to USC students.   If you are a first generation to college student and will apply to USC this is an additional scholarship you can consider.

The USC Alumni Day of Service is an opportunity for all alumni and friends to participate in local service volunteer projects organized by our USC alumni clubs, chapters and other affiliated groups worldwide.
