In this episode, Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center, Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, and Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center are joined by special guest Dr. Ida Eden, a reproductive psychiatrist in private practice and an adjunct faculty member at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City. Dr. Eden shares valuable insights on coping with infertility. She explains how anxiety is common for many and can be managed positively. Sometimes it can manifest in unexpected ways such as anger or intellectualization (doing lots of Google searches) and how different defense mechanisms—good and bad—play a role. She discusses the importance of recognizing whether anxiety serves a purpose and emphasizes optimizing mental health through simple but effective strategies, such as exercise, social connections, and proper sleep. We explore the use of medications for mental health during pregnancy and how doctors assess whether to continue or adjust treatment. Finally, the conversation delves into the cost of mental health care, resources for those without insurance coverage, and the availability of telemedicine options. Tune in for an insightful discussion on mental well-being and practical ways to manage anxiety.This episode was brought to you from ReceptivaDx and IVF Florida.

In this week's episode, both our storytellers examine the importance of diversity and representation in science – and not just in their research sample. Part 1: While serving on a diversity panel, biologist Latasha Wright is asked if representation in STEM matters, prompting her to reflect on her experiences. Latasha Wright, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, received her Ph.D. from NYU Langone Medical Center in cell and molecular biology. She continued her scientific training at Johns Hopkins University and Weill Cornell Medical Center. She has co-authored numerous publications, presented her work at international and national conferences. BioBus enables Latasha to share her love of science with a new generation of scientists. Latasha spearheaded the creation of the first BioBase community lab, the BioBus internship program, and our Harlem expansion. Everyday that Latasha spends teaching students about science in this transformative environment helps her remember that science is fun. She loves sharing the journey of discovery with students of all ages. Part 2: LFC's childhood experiences with nature – and with bigotry – come together to inform her career in environmentalism. LFC has been organizing in Missouri for almost 10 years now. Starting in Reproductive Justice through a faithful lens, to School to Prison Pipeline and Statewide Policy initiatives, to now Environmental Justice/ Climate Change. She believes that a call out is an invitation to be called into authentic and transformational relationships in order to obtain Environmental Justice for All. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of AbbottTalks, Jennifer Jones-McMeans, PhD, Divisional VP of Global Clinical Affairs at Abbott and Brian DeRubertis, MD, Chief, Division of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical Center tackle the complexities of treating peripheral arterial disease (PAD) below the knee, particularly chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), a severe form of PAD that drastically impacts patients' quality of life and longevity. In the episode, the two discuss Abbott's Esprit BTK System, the first-and-only FDA-approved drug-eluting resorbable scaffold for infrapopliteal CLTI. Dr. Jones-McMeans explains how Esprit BTK works by releasing a drug that prevents artery re-narrowing, crucial for maintaining sustained blood flow and promoting wound healing. Later, they walk us through the pivotal LIFE-BTK trial, a significant milestone that demonstrated Esprit's efficacy and led to its FDA approval. They also highlight the importance of including diverse patient populations in clinical trials, particularly those disproportionately affected by PAD, such as African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and women. This inclusive approach not only ensures the treatment's effectiveness across varied demographics but also sets a precedent for future trials.

Thanks to the years and years spent poring over textbooks to study the inner workings of the brain, the high level of manual dexterity required to perform operations and the mental pressures that come with taking patients' lives in your hands, there can be little doubt the journey to becoming a brain surgeon is one of the most challenging any of us can embark upon. So, what exactly does it take to become a successful brain surgeon and what does the day-to-work reality look like when the years of training are finally complete? In this episode, we catch up Theodore H Schwartz, professor of neurosurgery based at Weill Cornell Medical Center, to talk about his new book Gray Matters: A Biography of Brain Surgery. He tells us about his own personal journey to become an in-demand surgeon, what it's like to work in one of New York's busiest hospitals, and the surprising crossover between brain surgery and learning how to play an instrument.

Before 1952, open heart surgery was considered science fiction. The heart was off limits to surgeons despite more than half a million Americans dying annually from heart disease. Doing nothing was the strategy. However, the status quo would soon change thanks to a few brave and imaginative surgeons who dared to break the most rigid of medical taboos: Do not touch the human heart. We sat down with Dr. Gerald Imber, author of the new book “Cardiac Cowboys: The Heroic Invention of Heart Surgery” to discuss how five men raced to invent an entirely new field of surgery.  Guests: Jessica Millar, MD- General Surgery Resident- University of Michigan; Education Fellow- Behind the Knife Nick Teman, MD- Associate Professor of Cardiac Surgery and Critical Care- University of Virginia  Gerald Imber- Assistant Clinical Professor of Plastic surgery at the Weill-Cornell Medical Center, Attending Surgeon at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, and Director of a private clinic in New York City, NY; Author of “Wendell Black, MD”, “Genius on the Edge: The Bizarre Double Life of Dr. William Stewart Halsted”, and “Cardiac Cowboys: The Heroic Invention of Heart Surgery”.  Want to hear more from Dr. Imber- be sure to check out his podcast series, Cardiac Cowboys, based on Dr. Imber's book.

Today we continue our series Next-Gen Journeys, featuring conversations with students, residents, and early career medical professionals around the globe to get their fresh perspectives on education, medicine, and the future of healthcare. We're delighted to do that today with Dr. Josh Bliss, a third-year internal medicine resident at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medicine, who will continue his training there next year as a hematology-oncology fellow.  Josh was actually one of the first Osmosis Medical Education Fellows, later transitioning to a role creating and editing pharmacology content with our education team. In this heartfelt conversation with host Hillary Acer, Josh shares how his mother's death from cancer when he was young spurred his interest in medicine and how his passion for the field has expanded over time to include the relatively new science of exercise oncology. “We are starting to look at exercise both in the lab and in clinical trials with patients where you could potentially dose exercise like you would a drug. You can measure it and standardize it and look at clinical effects.” For those hoping to build a multi-dimensional career in medicine, there is plenty of inspiration to draw from in this episode. Mentioned in this episode: https://www.nyp.org/

Today's special guest, Lily Woo, discovered that she had Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease in early 2018 and was placed on the transplant list at Weill Cornell Medical Center in September 2018. In the summer of 2020, she became extremely ill, spending five months in the hospital. Unfortunately, her situation has gotten progressively worse, and now she has Stage 5 End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). Until recently, she thought she had found the perfect living donor - a young friend with a matching blood type who was unselfishly willing to donate one of her kidneys to Lily. After she underwent her donor medical evaluation, they found that one of her kidneys was smaller and weaker than the other and although she felt perfectly healthy and wanted to help Lily the doctors could not chance taking a kidney from her. Uncle Dave sits down with Lily today to talk about her journey. If you have it in your heart, please visit the link below to support Lily and spread the word to help find a potential donor.

This podcast is about big ideas on how technology is making life better for people with vision loss. Innovations in implant technology are advancing at lightning speed, profoundly impacting the lives of people who are blind or visually impaired. In On Tech And Vision, we've profiled some amazing new implant technologies that have the potential to restore people's sight. But in this episode, we pump the breaks — because we need to address a critical part of the innovation process: the ethical frameworks that protect participants in early clinical trials, and the need for an updated framework that ensures patient protections without stifling innovation and development. Discussions between doctors and participants in clinical trials almost always focus on the new technology and very rarely on the manufacturer who sponsors the clinical trial — and almost never on the long-term commitment and financial viability of the company sponsoring the technology. And while clinical trial informed consent includes whose responsibility it is to remove the implants should they fail during the trial, that responsibility usually ends once the trial is over. At that stage, who will maintain or remove the implants that are still housed in patients' bodies? In this episode, we talk about innovative implants such as the Argus II, which we featured in the first season of On Tech And Vision. The Argus II is a microchip implanted under the retina that, in combination with a special headset, provided some vision to people who otherwise had none. And while the technology was exciting, the company discontinued the retinal implant three years ago, and the Argus II was eventually sold to another pharmaceutical company. Dr. Joseph Fins, Professor of Medical Ethics and Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York, joins us to share his thoughts on today's big idea: How do we balance the life-changing potential of electroceutical implant technology with the ethics of caring for early participants — particularly after clinical trials are over?   The Big Takeaways: Examples of electroceutical implants. Cochlear implants, retinal implants, and deep brain stimulators are examples of scientific advances that rely on in-dwelling devices. Regulatory framework today. The relationships between researchers and clinical trial participants are regulated by institutional review boards, which came out of the National Research Act of 1974. However, while this framework works well for drug trials, new issues specific to implants need to be addressed by new regulations. For example, who is responsible for people left with in-dwelling devices once trials are over? If the sponsoring company no longer supports their devices, are they victims of abandonment? Are the timelines for drug trial success too short to be relevant for implant device trials, since it may take the body longer to adopt a new technology than to respond to a new drug? Ancillary care obligations. Henry Richardson, in his book Moral Entanglements: The Ancillary Care Obligations of Medical Researchers writes that historically, researchers — to avoid conflicts of interest — did not assume a clinical care role. However, that is changing, as researchers realize they have an obligation to share actionable results with patients. The result is that there is even less of a “bright line distinction,” as Dr. Fins says, “between research and therapy.” Collective responsibility. Who is responsible for the long-term well-being of participants in electroceutical trials? Dr. Fins suggests that the sponsoring company, the medical school where the research is taking place, and the government should share responsibility. It's a collective problem, he says. Some solutions. Requiring researchers, sponsoring companies, and researching universities to include in the costs of development insurance to cover long-term care for participants is one potential solution that Dr. Fins imagines. He also offers that researchers and sponsoring companies that develop successful and adopted medical products could subsidize the field. Or, he suggests, a tax on gaming devices (adjacent to electroceutical implants) to sustain people who are given indwelling devices in clinical trials. The law. The law needs to evolve to address the specific vulnerabilities of participants in electroceutical implant trials. Dr. Fins suggests that there are provisions within the Americans with Disabilities Act that account for assistive technologies that were relevant when the act was written in the nineties. According to Dr. Fins, these provisions in that could be read with a more contemporary lens, to include the assistive technologies of today (which would encompass electroceutical implants). There is room for lawyers and legal scholars to impact the legal frameworks in place now, to expand coverage from the ADA to protect participants in clinical trials for electroceutical implants. “Victims of Our Own Success.” Electroceutical implants are a miracle, says Dr. Fins. They are human ingenuity at its best. The science is harder to solve than the bureaucracy, but the bureaucracy to sustain medical advancements like these must catch up, or, ultimately, the vulnerability of trial participants threatens to impede scientific progress. Danger to the field. Clinical trials rely on willing participants, and when participants are not supported after trials end, it erodes participants' trust across the field. Without a clear set of protections in place for participants in clinical trials, scientific and medical advancement in the area of electroceutical implants may be impeded.   Tweetables: “I think this is a perfect rationale for insurance.”— Dr. Joseph Fins, Weill Cornell Medical Center “This is a huge problem. … We're victims of our own success.”— Dr. Joseph Fins, Weill Cornell Medical Center “It's human ingenuity at its very best. And the fact that we can't figure out the bureaucracy to sustain this? … The science is harder than the politics and the bureaucracy, but we're being overmatched by the politics and the bureaucracy.” — Dr. Joseph Fins, Weill Cornell Medical Center “When stories like this come out it makes recruitment very hard.” — Dr. Joseph Fins, Weill Cornell Medical Center “These retinal implants, these deep brain stimulators, … they're gonna be looked upon as primitive halfway technologies 50 and 100 years from now. But we're only gonna get there if we're able to do this research.” — Dr. Joseph Fins, Weill Cornell Medical Center “Once you understand these facts, the ethics are pristine. They're clear.” — Dr. Joseph Fins, Weill Cornell Medical Center   Contact Us: Contact us at podcasts@lighthouseguild.org with your innovative new technology ideas for people with vision loss.

In this episode we discuss Greenlight, a laser treatment for the urinary symptoms experienced by men due to an enlarged or obstructing prostate(BPH).  In previous episodes we have covered a variety of other BPH treatment ranging from the historical gold standard (TURP) to minimally invasive surgical therapies (MIST) such as Rezum, Urolift, and iTind to more specialized treatments such as HoLEP and robotic simple prostatectomy.  So how does Greenlight fit in to this spectrum of BPH treatments?  How is the procedure performed?  What are the risks and benefits?  What is the recovery like? And, of course, how effective is it?  To help us answer these questions, we are joined by a true expert.  Dr. Bilal Chughtai is an Associate Professor of Urology at Cornell.

Salvatore Cilmi, MD, is an Associate Professor of Medicine, an Infectious Diseases Specialist, and the Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr Cilmi completed his Medical school from Harvard University Medical School and Residency in Internal Medicine from Massachusetts General Hospital where he stayed on to pursue a Fellowship in Infectious Diseases. Dr. Cilmi has published extensively and has developed curricula for residency programs. He is a recipient of numerous teaching awards including the Hospital Medicine Attending of the Year, the James Smith Memorial Award and the Richard A. Herrmann Teaching Award at Weill Cornell Medical Center and the Excellence in Teaching Award from the Institute for Medical Education at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. As physicians, we're all climbing a wall of knowledge. And in the beginning of our careers, we may feel the pressure to leap over it as fast as we can. Dr. Salvatore Cilmi recalls that feeling when he was first given the title ‘doctor', but not feeling equipped to be someone's doctor just yet. And even today as a PGY-23, with massive amounts of training and experience under his belt, he continues to learn and practice. And so he reassures us: No one is expecting you to leap over the wall at once. You're not even expected to get halfway up in your first few years. But what you do need to do is find those points during this climb where you feel safe and secure - the mentors and colleagues in whom you feel comfortable revealing what you know and don't know. And through them, you will obtain the skillset and mindset to continue the climb. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. We're all climbing a wall of knowledge. Although no one expects you to leap over the whole thing, it's important to find—and hold onto—the areas of that wall you feel steady and confident. 2. As Winston Churchill said, no success is final, and no failure is fatal. It's the courage to continue. In moments of weakness or vulnerability, that is where we'll find our greatest opportunities. 3. Mentorship is learning from the whole experience. Learn from the good things and the things we don't like. This combination will help us identify what we really want. 4. Be a good listener, have an open mind, have respect, and an enthusiasm for the quest for knowledge.

This week, we’re presenting two stories from scientists about the people and places that inspired them. Part 1: Just before she leaves for her dream opportunity to teach marine science on the Red Sea, Latasha Wright gets a call that puts her plans in jeopardy. Part 2:  Growing up, Sheena Cruickshank's teenage older brother inspires her love of science, but then one summer he returns from university with a lump on his arm. Latasha Wright received her Ph.D. from NYU Langone Medical Center in Cell and Molecular Biology. After her studies, she went on to continue her scientific training at Johns Hopkins University and Weill Cornell Medical Center. She has co­authored numerous publications and presented her work at international and national conferences. In 2011, she joined the crew of the BioBus, a mobile science lab dedicated to bringing hands­on science and inspiration to students from all socioeconomic backgrounds. The BioBus creates a setting that fosters innovation and creativity. Students are encouraged to ask questions, formulate hypotheses, and design experiments. Through the BioBus, Latasha was able to share her love of science with a new generation of potential scientists. Everyday that she spends teaching students about science in this transformative environment helps her remember that science is fun. She loves sharing the journey of discovery with students of all ages. In 2014, the BioBus team launched an immersive, un­intimidating laboratory space called the BioBase, a community laboratory model. At the BioBase students are encouraged to explore their scientific potential through in­-depth programming and hands­-on experimentation. Latasha has lead the efforts in establishing this community laboratory model, and hopes to build on its success in other communities. The efforts of the BioBus’ team to promote science   education to all communities in New York City has been recognized by numerous news outlets, including the WNYC science radio program Hypothesis.

She is now an immunology  Professor  in the University of Manchester and also is their University Academic  Lead for Public Engagement. Her research aims to understand how the  immune response distinguishes harm from benefit e.g. parasitic  infections versus the friendly bacteria that live in and  on our bodies. She has a focus on using her research to help develop  tools to improve patient diagnosis and management. Sheena is passionate  about communicating her research with the public and her public  engagement work is very closely linked to her research.  She co-developed resources to help educate about parasite infections  and their impact with a set of resources called “the Worm Wagon” and  focuses on enabling access to science for non-native English speakers.  She also co-developed a UK nationwide citizen science  project to understand allergies and the impacts of pollution  (@BritainBreathing).

In this episode, we talk about leaving behind a successful corporate career to follow your souls calling with my guest, Melissa McClain. Guest Bio: Melissa is an art photographer currently living in the Pacific Northwest. She grew up near Dallas, TX and as a child loved art classes and drawing. Over the years as art programs in schools began to diminish, she strayed from her love of creativity and color. After graduating from college she began working in Crisis Management, eventually receiving a Master’s Degree in the field and becoming a leader in the area of Survivor and Family Assistance. While traveling the world working with clients and responding to mass fatality events, photography became her self-care outlet and rekindled her passion for creativity and color. Today she finds inspiration in travels across Europe and the Pacific Northwest. From sunsets and sunrises to her unique images from the bottoms of boats, Melissa has a passion for color and her images have an abstract, painterly quality about them. She has exhibited her photography in group exhibitions around New York City and Seattle, her first show winning Best Of Show for her abstract from the Water Colors Collection. Recent accomplishments include a public art display in King County. Public collection of her work includes Weill Cornell Medical Center. Melissa's dream is to take her photography “off the walls” and expand her images to textiles and home and fashion designs.

Host: Maurice Pickard, MD Guest: Sam Parnia, MD, PhD We are beginning to understand what happens when a patient in cardiac arrest, with no brain activity, later reports detailed perceptions, suggesting a high level of consciousness. What can we learn from the study of this phenomenon to help us improve resuscitation of the brain during cardiac arrest? What can it tell us about the experience of dying, and at what point consciousness ceases? Dr. Sam Parnia, a fellow in pulmonary and critical care medicine at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York, and one of the world's leading experts on the scientific study of death, joins host Dr. Maurice Pickard to talk about his research project, AWARE (AWAreness during REsuscitation) at the University of Southampton School of Medicine in the United Kingdom, where Dr. Parnia is an honorary senior research fellow.
