Recovery from crash called 'miracle' Laura Timmons always believed that her teenage daughter would recover from the traumatic brain injury she suffered in the car accident on Route 9 that killed another Haldane High School student in December 2023. During Theresa Timmons' 15-month rehabilitation at Blythedale Children's Hospital in Valhalla, Laura Timmons chronicled each "big thing" in her daughter's recovery: the first time she swallowed drinks and food; the first time she responded to questions with gestures; and progressing to writing and talking. "I knew in my heart we would get there, and I never felt any negative," said Laura Timmons, whose family owns Homestyle Bakery in Nelsonville and Peekskill. Her faith received another reward on Thursday (May 29) when Theresa, wearing a shirt filled with signatures from well-wishers and supported on one side by a cane and the other by Laura's boyfriend, Mike Raguso, walked across Blythdale's lobby on her way home for the first time since the accident. A gauntlet of family, friends and Blythedale staff and patients clapped and cheered as Theresa headed through the front door. Outside, Theresa began crying as staff assembled around her to take pictures and say goodbye. First responders from the Continental Village Fire Department, Cortlandt-Peekskill Paramedics and the state police assembled to escort the ambulance carrying her home to Garrison. "Awesome," said Theresa, now 17, when asked about Thursday's sendoff and returning home. "I felt like someone famous." Katherine Ingrasci and Mary Kate Filos used the word "miracle." Ingrasci, a speech-language pathologist at Blythedale, said that Theresa could not eat or talk, and breathed using a tracheostomy tube inserted in her neck when she arrived at Blythedale. Theresa had "a lot of things to overcome" during the hospitalization and made tremendous progress from initially communicating solely through gestures, said Ingrasci. One day, "I walked in and she looked up at me and said a full, beautiful sentence," said Ingrasci. That progress owed much to Theresa, who Filos described as a "fighter" and hard worker. Filos also credited the family and friends who supported Theresa's recovery by donating money, visiting and sending cards and gifts. "They had somebody at the bedside around the clock; Theresa was never alone," said Filos. "So we bonded not just with mom, not just with dad, but with so many extended family members and friends." Also attending the sendoff were some of the Continental Village firefighters and paramedics who responded to the tragedy: a Dec. 15, 2023, car crash on Route 9 that claimed the life of Vlad Saban, a 17-year-old Haldane High School senior, and left Theresa, then 16 and a junior at the school, in critical condition. Chief Joseph Maffettone said in September 2024 that firefighters responding to the accident found "complete wreckage." Attacking the doors and bottom of the wreck with cutting tools, they found Vlad already deceased and Theresa in the rear - unconscious and laying on her left side, protected in a "cocoon," according to Maffettone. "There was a complete tunnel around her," said Maffettone, whose family has been buying baked goods from Homestyle for years and knew the Timmons family. "How she was positioned, it was amazing." Jennifer Hunt, a paramedic with Cortlandt-Peekskill Paramedics, described Theresa's physical condition as "multi-system" trauma. "She had anything and everything that could possibly be wrong with a patient going on," said Hunt last September. "We had a lot of decisions to make in a very short timeframe." Hunt said that she and a colleague, Richard Blackley, sedated Theresa and inserted an endotracheal tube, which is used when patients cannot breathe unaided. With her breathing stabilized, they decided to drive Theresa to Westchester Medical Center rather than wait for a helicopter that had been standing by. By February 2024, Theresa was responding to commands...

Dr. Jason T. Jacobson, MD, FHRS, Westchester Medical Center, New York Medical College is joined by Melissa Robinson, MD, FHRS, Providence Heart Institute of Montana, and Dr. Sei Iwai, MD, FHRS, Westchester Medical Center, New York Medical College to discuss: BACKGROUND Factors determining hemodynamic stability during human ventricular tachycardia (VT) are incompletely understood. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to characterize sinus rate (SR) responses during monomorphic VT in association with hemodynamic stability and prospectively assess the effects of vagolytic therapy on VT tolerance. METHODS This is a retrospective analysis of patients undergoing scar-related VT ablation. Vasovagal responses were evaluated by analyzing sinus cycle length before VT induction and during VT. SR responses were classified into 3 groups: increasing ($5 beats/min, sympathetic), decreasing ($5 beats/min, vagal), and unchanged, with the latter 2 categorized as inappropriate SR. In a prospective cohort (n . 30) that exhibited a failure to increase SR, atropine was administered to improve hemodynamic tolerance to VT. RESULTS In 150 patients, 261 VT episodes were analyzed (29% untolerated, 71% tolerated) with a median VT duration of 1.6 minutes. A total of 52% of VT episodes were associated with a sympathetic response, 31% had unchanged SR, and 17% of VTs exhibited a vagal response. A significantly higher prevalence of inappropriate SR responses was observed during untolerated VT (sustained VT requiring cardioversion within 150 seconds) compared with tolerated VT (84% vs 34%; P < 0.001). Untolerated VT was significantly different between groups: 9% (sympathetic), 82% (vagal), and 32% (unchanged) (P < 0.001). Atropine administration improved hemodynamic tolerance to VT by 70%. CONCLUSIONS Nearly one-half of VT episodes are associated with failure to augment SR, indicative of an underrecognized pathophysiological vasovagal response to VT. Inappropriate SR responses were more predictive of hemodynamic instability than VT rate and ejection fraction. Vagolytic therapy may be a novel method to augment blood pressure during VT.   https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.2023.06.033 Host Disclosure(s): J.

Haldane student continues recovery from horrific crash Theresa Timmons celebrated a day that nearly wasn't. On Sept. 23, a procession of family and friends followed as her mother pushed the teenager's wheelchair across the lobby of Blythedale Children's Hospital in Valhalla. Just through the glassed entrance stood members of the Continental Village Fire Department and Cortlandt-Peekskill Regional Paramedics. Firefighters and paramedics rarely reunite with the people they save or closely follow their recoveries. But over the last year, the Haldane High School student has become part of the department's family, so much so that its members pray for her before meetings, said Joseph Maffettone, the department's chief. The answer to their prayers smiled as the uniformed first responders presented her with a bouquet of flowers and took photos. Inside, everyone crowded into a second-floor room to celebrate Theresa's upcoming 17th birthday on Sept. 25. "This is a great journey that we get to follow," said Maffettone. The journey began with a crash on Route 9. On Dec. 15, 2023, Vlad Saban, a 17-year-old Haldane High School senior, lost control of his Toyota Prius, which left the road and hit a tree. Vlad was killed. His passenger, Theresa, was left in critical condition with a traumatic brain injury. A year later, she has been transformed. Doctors brought her out of a medically induced coma in January, and the piece of skull they removed to relieve pressure on her brain has been replaced. In July, Theresa began speaking and is now writing, texting and laughing. On Dec. 10, using a wheelchair, Theresa returned to Haldane High School for a visit that brought the student body into the halls. The teenager, whose family owns Homestyle Desserts Bakery, and who was familiar to anyone who bought ice cream at its Nelsonville location, is undergoing an arduous regime of occupational and physical therapy designed to restore the damaged partnership between brain and body. She is also taking remote classes at Haldane, with the goal of attending graduation with her class in June. "That's what I'm hoping for," Theresa said. Saved by a 'cocoon' During a visit, hope decorated Theresa's room at Blythedale. The shelves bulged with stuffed animals. An array of photos sent by Haldane friends filled some wall space, while well-wishes written on heart-shaped pieces of paper by students from P.S. 194, a Bronx K-8 school where one of her mother's friends teaches, were hanging on the window. "You are amazing." "You can do it." A guitar Theresa's father, Jimmy, plays for her stood in a corner. Haldane faculty, staff and classmates visit regularly, as does Vlad's mother, Liliya Shylivska. Theresa's mother, Laura, sleeps overnight on a cot, as do Jimmy, Liliya and Laura's boyfriend, Mike. "I feel loved," said Theresa. First, she had to be saved. Maffettone said Continental Village firefighters responding to the accident found "complete wreckage." Attacking the doors and bottom of the wreck with cutting tools, they found Theresa in the back seat, unconscious and laying on her left side, protected in a "cocoon," according to Maffettone. "There was a complete tunnel around her," said Maffettone, whose family has been buying baked goods from Homestyle for years and knew the Timmons family. "How she was positioned, it was amazing." Jennifer Hunt, a paramedic with Cortlandt-Peekskill Regional Paramedics, described Theresa's physical condition as "multi-system" trauma. "She had anything and everything that could possibly be wrong with a patient going on," said Hunt. "We had a lot of decisions to make in a very short timeframe." Hunt said that she and a colleague sedated Theresa and inserted an endotracheal tube, which is used when patients cannot breathe unaided. With her breathing stabilized, they decided to drive her to Westchester Medical Center rather than wait for a helicopter. "Getting her definitive care was the priority at that point," said Hunt. "I didn't know...

Philipstown landscaper, speeding deputy collided Putnam County is poised to approve a $775,000 settlement with a Philipstown landscaper severely injured in a May 2021 crash when a sheriff's deputy crossed the double yellow lines on Route 301 while speeding to a non-emergency call. The Legislature's Audit Committee on Monday (April 29) approved a resolution authorizing the settlement with Marc Manzoeillo, who owns Marc's Landscaping and Outdoor Living. He suffered a broken shoulder, head and back lacerations, a concussion and left hip and right ankle injuries when he was ejected from his Ford dump truck after the collision with a Dodge Charger driven by Sgt. William Quick. The full Legislature is expected to vote on Tuesday (May 7) to settle the lawsuit Manzoeillo filed in January 2022 against the county, the Sheriff's Office and Quick, who was airlifted to Westchester Medical Center after being pinned for an hour by the Charger's dashboard and steering wheel. Putnam would pay a $250,000 deductible and insurance would cover the rest. According to court records, Quick, who later retired on disability, decided to respond after seeing that three deputies were dispatched to investigate a report of a suspicious person on a property at 657 Route 301. After racing down the Taconic to Route 301, Quick reached 75 mph as he sped west on a narrow, two-lane stretch near Canopus Lake, where the speed limit is 40 miles per hour. The sergeant shifted to the eastbound lane to pass a vehicle just as Manzoeillo approached from the opposite direction. Manzoeillo hit the brakes, sending his truck spinning into the westbound lane, where he and the deputy collided. In June 2023, a state judge rejected a motion by the county to dismiss the lawsuit, noting that the Charger's dashcam recorded vehicles trying to get out of Quick's way and recorded the officer's "outrageous vulgar tirade" after a driver slowed down and moved to the left to let him pass at the Taconic exit. The judge cited Quick's "indifference to the difficulties faced by motorists confronted by the blaring lights and sirens of a rapidly moving police car." The collision caused the left side of the dump truck's cab to dislodge. Quick's vehicle incurred heavy damage on the left front and side. Manzoeillo said in a deposition that he was disabled for more than two months. He said he remembered only driving west past Canopus Lake just before the crash and then hearing someone tell him to "lay back down." A state police report said Manzoeillo caused the collision by "failing to maintain his lane of travel" when he reacted and spun into the westbound lane. The county argued that Quick should receive immunity under a section of state vehicle and traffic law that gives officers leeway when responding to emergencies. Grossman acknowledged that Quick's response represented an "emergency operation" because he believed that there may be a burglary in process, but he allowed the case to proceed because Manzoeillo and his attorneys could possibly prove that Quick acted with reckless disregard. Under Sheriff's Office guidelines, deputies should only consider certain calls for an emergency response, including when pursuing or apprehending a violator or suspected violator, when an incident may involve "possible personal injury, death or significant property damage" and when there is a crime in progress. An internal investigation of the crash found that within a minute of Quick activating his sirens, one of the three deputies dispatched to the scene was told he could "disregard" the call. The report also found that Quick did not inform anyone that he was responding and he failed to use his work phone to confirm the contents of "broken radio traffic" coming from the Sheriff's Office's channel. None of the radio transmissions or onboard computer information "suggested that the activity was a possible burglary in process,'" according to the investigation. The Sheriff's Office also reviewed Quick's action...

In this episode, we discuss Aquablation, a new 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 treatments 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 Aquablation fit into 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. Joel Hillelsohn is a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Urology at the Grossman School of Medicine at New York University.  Dr.  Hillelsohn earned his medical degree from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine and then completed his residency training in Urology at the Westchester Medical Center and a fellowship in sexual medicine and reconstructive Urology at Mount Sinai Hospital.

In this episode, guest host and neurointerventional surgeon Dr. Krishna Amuluru interviews triple-boarded neurointerventional surgeon, neurointensivist, and neurologist Dr. Fawaz Al-Mufti about stroke thrombectomy in special populations. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR MicroVention FRED X https://www.fred-x.com/ --- SHOW NOTES Fawaz serves as an Associate Professor, Director of Neuroendovascular Surgery Fellowship & Neurocritical-Care Unit, Assistant Dean of GME research, and Vice-Chair of Neurology research at New York Medical College, Westchester Medical Center. First, we define the special populations that have been excluded from stroke thrombectomy randomized controlled trials (RCTs). These populations include octogenarian, nonagenarian, pediatric, and pregnant patients. Fawaz then recaps the landmark trials that have shaped the field of neuroendovascular surgery, beginning with the handful that were published in 2015/2016. Approaching mechanical stroke thrombectomy in patients in their 80s and 90s and the lack of existing RCT literature is also discussed. Switching gears, Fawaz then speaks on caring for pediatric patients with large-vessel occlusion (LVO).

How Sleep Apnea Drives Weight Gain, Memory Loss, High Blood Pressure, ADHD, And More | This episode is brought to you by ButcherBoxSleep is a major cornerstone for an energetic, joyful, healthy life. Unfortunately, millions of people are affected by a condition called sleep apnea and an estimated 80% of cases go undiagnosed. Sleep apnea is an extreme form of sleep deprivation where you wake up several times throughout the night. You can't sleep, you can't breathe, and as a result, you lack oxygen. You don't even realize you're waking up throughout the night. This lack of sleep drives weight gain and blood sugar imbalances. It can also raise your risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and more.In this minisode, Dr. Hyman speaks with his colleagues at The UltraWellness Center, Dr. George Papanicolaou, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, and Maggie Ward, about patients they have treated for sleep apnea.

W mieście Nowy Jork zostało użytych tylko 31% dostępnych szczepionek - szczepienia rozpoczęły się już trzy tygodnie temu. Gubernator wskazał na Nassau University Medical Center gdzie wydano tylko 19% dostęnych w placówce szczepionek i Westchester Medical Center, gdzie zużyto 32% dostępnych tam szczepionek. Gubernator powiedział, że od teraz, placówka musi zużyć 100% dostępnych szczepionek w ciągu 7 dni. Jeżeli dana placówka się nie dostosuje, wówczas, grożą jej kary a także to, że jej szczepionki zostaną przekazane innej placówce. W New Jersey zaszczepiono 100,000 osób - dostępnych szczepionek jest 400,000. Stan New Jerset wzywa do pracy emerytowanych pracowników medycznych, aby pomogli w szczepieniu ludzi. / W poniedziałek, w stanie Nowy Jork potwierdzono zarażenie nowym wariantem koronawirusa wykrytym oryginalnie w Wielkiej Brytanii. Mężczyzna, u którego wykryto nowy wariant, związany jest ze sklepem jubilerskim w Saratoga Springs - we wtorek potwierdzono, że zaraził on kolejne osoby. Mężczyzna nie podróżował. Burmistrz miasta Bill de Blasio wezwał władze federalne do podjęcia decyzji o zamknięciu podróży między Wielką Brytania a miastem Nowy Jork. USA – we wtorek w stanie Georgia odbywają się powtórne wybory na dwa stanowiska w senacie. Demokraci Jon Ossoff i Raphael Warnock chcą pokonać urzędujących Republikanów Davida Perdue i Kelly Loeffler. Jeżeli wygrają Demokraci, rozłożenie głosów w senacie będzie 50:50 i głos decydujący będzie miała wiceprezydent Kamala Harris. Jeżeli wygrają Republikanie, to oni będą kontrolować senatem. / Nie cichną komentarze po rozmowie prezydenta Donalda Trumpa z sekretarzem stanu Georgia Bradem Raffensperger'em - jutro w Kongresie ma dojść do głosowania nad zatwierdzeniem wyników wyborów prezydenckich. ŚWIAT – Chiny apelują o spokój i powściągliwość w działaniach, po tym jak Iran wznowił proces wzbogacania uranu do poziomu 20 procent. Decyzja władz w Teheranie łamie zapisy porozumienia wynegocjowanego w 2015 roku, którego stroną m.in. były Chiny. / We Włoszech zakończono pierwszą fazę badań nad szczepionką przeciw koronawirusowi wyprodukowaną przez włoską firmę ReiThera. Poinformowano, że jej skuteczność wynosi 92,5 procent. Tymczasem, od minionego piątku w Chinach trwają masowe szczepienia na Covid-19 - podają tamtejsze media. Pierwsza chińska szczepionka na koronawirusa została dopuszczona do powszechnego użytku ostatniego dnia ubiegłego roku. W ciągu najbliższych 6 tygodni Chiny zamierzają zaszczepić około 50 mln osób. Także, od wtorku, miliony mieszkańców Anglii i Szkocji znów żyje w lockdownie. Z domu można wyjść tylko w kilku przypadkach: po zakupy, do lekarza, do pracy - gdy nie można jej wykonywać z domu, czy też by poćwiczyć. Kwarantanna to efekt pogarszającej sie sytuacji epidemicznej. Powodem jest nowy, bardziej zaraźliwy koronawirus. (IAR)POLSKA – Minister zdrowia Adam Niedzielski zapowiedział wyciągnięcie konsekwencji odnośnie zaszczepienia na Warszawskim Uniwersytecie Medycznym 18 osób spoza grupy zero, wśród których są znani aktorzy i politycy. Podczas posiedzenia Komisji Zdrowia poświęconego realizacji Narodowego Programu Szczepień przeciwko COVID-19 mówił o wynikach kontroli prowadzonej w WUM przez Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia. Adam Niedzielski powiedział, że po pierwszym jej dniu można stwierdzić, iż podczas szczepień celebrytów mieliśmy do czynienia "z nieprawidłowościami, które nie były przypadkowe". "To było celowe działanie." Minister dodał, że listy osób do tego zaszczepienia były wysłane już 28 grudnia, czyli zanim były dopuszczone jakiekolwiek odstępstwa od przyjętej kolejności szczepień. "Pełna intencjonalność jest ewidentna i będziemy wyciągali surowe kary" - zapowiedział. Na WUM poza kolejnością zaszczepieni zostali między innymi były premier, a obecnie europoseł SLD Leszek Miller, dyrektor programowy TVN Edward Miszczak i aktorka Krystyna Janda. Do przyjęcia pierwszej dawki szczepionki przyznała się też aktorka Maria Seweryn. Szczepionkę przeciwko COVID-19 otrzymali także Wiktor Zborowski i Radosław Pazura. Kontrola NFZ na Warszawskim Uniwersytecie Medycznym potrwa do końca tygodnia. (IAR)

How To Optimize Your Body’s Detoxification System | This episode is brought to by Thrive Market and my Dr. Hyman’s Sleep Master CourseIn a healthy body, the process of detoxification runs smoothly. But when we are toxic, the mechanism for detoxification in the liver gets sluggish, and certain toxins can remain active longer than we want or than our systems can handle. This makes us sick and impedes normal metabolism. It also causes fluid retention, bloat, puffiness, and more.In this episode, Dr. Hyman sits down with Maggie Ward to discuss the Functional Medicine approach to assessing your toxic load, and how certain foods, gut health optimization, and other lifestyle factors can enhance detoxification.Maggie Ward, MS, RD, LDN, is the Nutrition Director at The UltraWellness Center.

Mounting research shows that there is no magic bullet to treat heart disease, cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, allergies, digestive disorders, headaches, fatigue, or any of the myriad problems we suffer from in the 21st century. But increasing evidence also shows us something else. It shows that food is the most powerful “drug” we have not just to prevent, but also treat, cure, and reverse most chronic illnesses. Food contains information that speaks to our genes, not just calories for energy. What you eat programs your body with messages of health or illness. We are learning from research in the field of nutrigenomics, that food “talks” to our DNA switching on or off genes that lead to health or disease. In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman speaks with Maggie Ward about the nutrition-focused appointments she conducts at The UltraWellness Center, and the power of treating people with food.Maggie Ward, MS, RD, LDN, is the Nutrition Director at The UltraWellness Center.
