Your host Dr. Rita Agarwal is joined by two wonderful guests to talk about climate change and what anesthesiologists can do about it.Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time with far reaching implications. There is evidence of the increasing numbers of deaths directly related to heat in the USA, but even more across the rest of the world. This doesn't include deaths related to the consequences of climate change such as more profound and extreme weather events, rising sea level, disruptions to ecosystems and agriculture, drought, and famine. Addressing climate change involves action at local, national, global levels and includes the efforts of individuals, society, businesses, governments, and health care and other institutions.Both guests are individuals who are committed to addressing efforts to reduce greenhouse gases at the individual, institutional, and local levels.Dr. McGain is an MBBS and PhD who practices in anesthesia and intensive care at Western Health, St Albans, Victoria, Canada and in Australia as the Associate Dean of Sustainable Healthcare at the university of Melbourne. Dr McGain has spoken and published over 100 articles on the topic of greenhouse gases, reducing carbon footprint and bringing the scientific method to comparing the environmental impact of different practices. In fact, it was as a result of an editorial that he and Drs. Gordon and Debnath Chatterjee wrote, and a presentation from my other guest Dr. Lin, that Dr. Rita Agarwal finally stopped using nitrous oxide for mask induction in children after 30 + years of practice. She had given up desflurane, embraced low flow gases, and minimizing volatile agents, but honestly thought you would have to pry nitrous oxide out of her cold dead hands, before she stopped using it. They convinced her otherwise and hopefully will convince all of you as well

BUFFALO, NY- June 26, 2024 – A new editorial paper was published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 16, Issue 11, entitled, “Global consensus for sarcopenia.” In this new editorial, researchers Ben Kirk, Peggy M. Cawthon, and Alfonso J. Cruz-Jentoft from the University of Melbourne and Western Health discuss the global societal issue of skeletal muscle loss and weakness, termed Sarcopenia. Low muscle mass or low strength/function increases the susceptibility to poor outcomes such as fragility, hip fractures, disability, and low quality of life in older people [1–4]. Skeletal muscle also acts as an endocrine organ and interacts with local and distal tissues; for instance, muscle cells secrete molecules involved in bone fracture healing and the same molecules help regulate distal tissues such as the brain, heart, and kidneys [5, 6]. This may partially explain why low muscle mass is a strong predictor of disease-specific mortality (dementia, cancer, heart failure, kidney/liver disease) as well as all-cause mortality in aging [7]. “Until now, there has been no universal agreement on a definition for Sarcopenia.” Previous definitions were continent- and region-specific: Asia, Europe, North America, and Australia/New Zealand [8]. These definitions were certainly important in drawing attention to, and understanding of, this muscle disease. However, these definitions led to wide estimates in disease prevalence/incidence as well as heterogeneity when comparing treatments results of randomised trials [9]. The lack of a single definition likely impacted the identification of or treatment for sarcopenia in research and clinical practice (i.e., caused confusion for scientists, physicians and health care professionals on which definition, cutpoints, and muscle assessment tools to employ). “To address this, the Global Leadership Initiative in Sarcopenia (GLIS) [9] was formed to create a unified global definition for use in research and clinical settings.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.205919 Corresponding author - Ben Kirk - ben.kirk@unimelb.edu.au Video short - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnhM3y6qi5U Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://aging.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Faging.205919 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Aging - https://www.aging-us.com/subscribe-to-toc-alerts Keywords - aging, sarcopenia, global definition, GLIS, skeletal muscle About Aging-US The mission of the journal is to understand the mechanisms surrounding aging and age-related diseases, including cancer as the main cause of death in the modern aged population. The journal aims to promote 1) treatment of age-related diseases by slowing down aging, 2) validation of anti-aging drugs by treating age-related diseases, and 3) prevention of cancer by inhibiting aging.

In this episode of 'Safeguarding Healthcare – the Essentials of Clinical Governance', Dr David Rankin explores the complexities of medical administration with Dr Paul Eleftheriou, Principal at Nous Group and former Chief Medical Officer at Western Health. They discuss a hypothetical scenario where tension between medical and nursing staff has contributed to a patient's avoidable death, emphasising the pivotal role of culture in clinical governance. Dr Eleftheriou highlights the need for structured approaches, diligent diagnosis of problems, and strategic interventions, whether through internal collaboration or external support. By focusing on motives, implementing clear expectations, and leveraging resources, they conclude that it is possible for medical administrators to navigate and transform challenging organisational cultures to safeguard patient care effectively.

As an emergency physician at Western Health, in Melbourne, Australia, Dr. Andy Tagg says he meets a lot of anxious parents whose children have swallowed Lego pieces. Much like Andy so many years ago, the vast majority of kids simply pass the object through their stool within a day or so. But Andy and five other pediatricians wondered, is there a way to give parents extra reassurance ... through science? So the doctors devised an experiment. "Each of them swallowed a Lego head," says science journalist Sabrina Imbler, who wrote about the experiment for The Defector. "They wanted to basically see how long it took to swallow and excrete a plastic toy." On today's episode, Sabrina joins Scientist in Residence Regina G. Barber to chart the journey of six lego heads, and what came out on the other side. Learn about Sabrina Imbler's recent book, How Far the Light Reaches, at their website.Editor's note: This episode contains frequent and mildly graphic mentions of poop. It may cause giggles in children, and certain adults.

Content warning: domestic abuse and family violenceThe National Elder Abuse Prevalence Study was published in 2021, finding that one in six older Australians has suffered elder abuse of some kind including psychological, physical, financial and sexual abuse, and neglect.

Join us with special guest Susi Rosinski to talk about Quigong. Qigong is an ancient Chinese Health Practice that was developed by Martial Artists,Military men,Tibetan Buddhist Monks and Hermits, scholars and physicians. It integrates Physical movements, Breath Work, and Focused intention. The slow, gentle movements are easily learned and can be adapted for anyone to do, and can be practiced by all age groups! Some Qigong Forms are stationary, while others are more moving. Some practices increase Qi- the Vital Life Force within all Living beings, while others Circulate Qi within, or use Qi to Cleanse and Heal the body, while others focus on storing Qi for Longevity, and others to Emit Qi to Heal others! Many Practices include a connection to the Natural Environment and to Nature itself! Qigong, from a truly Holistic view, is a complete system of Healthcare! Whether one is receiving Medical/Clinical Qigong Treatments, to doing Qigong Forms, Qigong can help many chronic, stubborn Health Challenges that Western Medicine finds difficult to treat. Using Medical/Clinical Qigong treatments to help the client who is either unaware of their Qi( giving them a direct experience of Qi in their bodies) to those who are to Ill to help themselves, Qi emissions, along with a Qigong Form, can profoundly influence the clients Health in a positive fashion! Qigong Forms create an awareness of our Internal Health of Body, Mind, Emotions and Spirit, that is not a part of Western Health practices or Exercises. As Qigong uses the Meridian System of Acupuncture, it helps remove blockages that one may not even be aware of, helping the Internal Organs to function properly! Adding Mind intent, along with Breathing Techniques to Physical movements, the benefits of exercise increase profoundly! The gentle, rhythmic movements of a consistent Qigong Practice can create Harmony Within ourselves, both Physically and Emotionally

A man detained illegally by police under the Mental Health Act has filed two complaints with the Human Rights Commission: one against the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, and one against Western Health.

But an RNC Public Complaints Commission report last year found that the actions of a police officer, now retired, were an abuse of power. Andrew Abbass says his Charter rights were violated by both the RNC and by Western Health.

Esri Ireland, the market leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), has announced that Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council is using its digital mapping platform to develop a number of interactive resources to keep the public informed and support local business throughout COVID-19. Built using Esri’s mapping software ArcGIS, the council created an interactive Open for Business map, which shows what shops and services are available to the public throughout the borough. The map also shows business opening hours, delivery and collection information and what safety measures the business has in place, all helping to support local enterprises as they reopen. A dedicated COVID-19 information and advice hub also built using ArcGIS is available on the Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council website and homes a wide collection of resources with further information and advice for local businesses, vulnerable members of society and the wider community in the area. The council’s COVID-19 Coordination Hub connects people to vital community support services and has had more than 1,200 referrals to date from Advice NI and the Northern and Western Health and Social Care Trusts. It helps provide an important continuation of services and access to supports for the most vulnerable people during the pandemic. Formed in 2015 following the merger of four different councils, Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council provides public services to more 144,000 citizens throughout the region. Since its formation, the council has worked closely with Esri Ireland to implement GIS across the entire organisation, digitally transforming its services to enhance engagement with the public and enable better, more informed decision making. Esri’s software enables legal and finance teams to view all of the council’s agreements, leases and licences on one secure platform, eliminating the need to review unwieldy paper-based records and saving both time and money for the council. Esri’s survey app, Survey123, enables field-workers to gather data on mobiles, tablets and laptops from anywhere in the borough. This information, for example on the condition of local facilities and amenities, can be made available to view across the entire council for analysis in real-time. Philip McLaughlin, Client Manager, Esri Ireland, said: “COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of clear communication between local government and the public. Having already rolled out GIS across many functions, Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council was well-placed to leverage the power of digital mapping to create numerous rich information resources that are proving incredibly helpful to local businesses and residents. “In both supporting people and businesses during COVID-19, as well as using GIS to transform its processes and services, Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has shown what is possible for a local authority willing to transform how they engage and collaborate with their community.” Nial McSorley, Digital Services Manager, Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council, said: “The biggest challenge for us as a council is in how to interpret the sheer volume of information that is available today. With Esri’s digital platform, we can compress all the different information channels into a single source, enabling us to meaningfully analyse and use data to make intelligent decisions. “As we look to move on responsibly from COVID-19 restrictions, we will again leverage digital mapping to stimulate local tourism and support the reopening of businesses. Beyond that, we will continue to roll out GIS to further areas in the council and ensure all members of our staff can access and use the platform to enhance every aspect of the public services we deliver.” More about Irish Tech News and Business Showcase here.

Dr Kimberley Haines, Vice Chair of ANZICS Victorian Branch and ICU Physio at Western Health joins Dan and Jane to discuss survival following ICU admissions. Dr Kimberley discusses her journey to research, what happens to patients following ICU discharge and how we can improve the ICU journey for patients, staff and family.

Melanie Crispin – How much is our increased knowledge about the genetic links to breast cancer translating to screening and testing – and how does that impact on new treatment options? A 16-year study at Melbourne’s Western Health reveals some interesting answers.

In this episode Assoc Prof Craig French from Western Health (where he is Director of Intensive Care) and Melbourne University in Melbourne, Australia reflects thoughtfully about many aspects of clinical care including how inspiring a healthy workplace culture can lead to staff enjoyment as well as improved patient outcomes. Craig discusses topics such as: how in intensive care we have become more focused on less is best and that this may lead to clinicians becoming deskilled, how good communication and listening requires not being afraid of silence, the benefits of doing a pre-ward round ward round for planning the flow of the day, how more frequent handovers can be an issue, that we are probably moving towards 24 hourly hospital-located intensivists (which may help work-life balance), engaging well with nursing staff is vital including providing them with clear aims, simple observation of patients and their surroundings can provide an enormous amount of information, ward rounds can’t go too long and they need to have some sort of predictable order for the effective running of the ICU, the massive importance of having a life outside of medicine, his own competitive cycling career, his use of Tibetan meditation to deal with his pathological fear of flying, how busy clinical days can lead to skipped meals and eating fast foods, and how he worries about whether he is spending enough time with his wife and family. The interview concludes with some thoughts from Craig about the issues with working at home in the evenings, some of the principles of good end of life care, how inspiring a workplace culture which fosters everyone achieving their best can help both staff morale and patient outcomes, and how CPR in the community for elderly patients might be considered futile even before the patient arrives at hospital. This podcast was created to help and inspire intensive care clinicians to improve the care we give to our patients by providing interesting and thought-provoking conversations with highly respected and experienced clinicians. In each episode, Andrew Davies, an intensivist from Frankston Hospital in Melbourne, Australia, speaks with a guest for the purpose of hearing their perspectives on the habits and behaviours that they believe are the most important for improving the outcomes of our patients. Things like bringing our best selves to work each day, optimal communication, coping with stress and preventing burn out, working well in a team, and interacting with patient’s families and the many other health professionals we deal with on a daily basis. The podcast is less about the drugs, devices and procedures that can be administered and more about the habits, behaviours and philosophies that can help intensive care clinicians to master the craft of intensive care.

Kimberley Haines is a senior ICU physiotherapist and the Allied Health Research Lead at Western Health.  Her academic research focusses on the long term progress of ICU survivors. Here she discusses the developing puzzle of ICU outcomes.

*“If you have the emotion of worry, it causes disease in the upper GI - that’s a fact. The emotion of fear affects your adrenals, kidney, and bladder, grief and depression affect the immune system, and the emotion of anxiety affects the heart,” reveals Dr. Josh Axe.* The bestselling author and functional health superstar brings energy and enthusiasm to this wide-ranging interview on all matters of healthy living, especially the insights in his new book, Ancient Remedies: Secrets to Healing with Herbs, Essential Oils, CBD, and the Most Powerful Natural Medicine in History. ( https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Remedies-Essential-Powerful-Medicine/dp/0316496456/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Ancient+Remedies%3A+Secrets+to+Healing+with+Herbs%2C+Essential+Oils%2C+CBD%2C+and+the+Most+Powerful+Natural+Medicine+in+History.&qid=1611615461&sr=8-1 ) Dr. Axe starts off by describing how his mother’s cancer diagnosis led him down the path of functional medicine. You’ll learn the importance of mindset and diet for healing and wellness, and we’ll also explore the divergent approaches of western and eastern medicine, and how we can better integrate a holistic approach to healthy eating, healing from disease and dysfunction, and experiencing vibrant health. Dr. Axe discusses the “like supports like” concept, extending beyond the familiar idea of consuming organ meats to nurture the function of the corresponding organ in your body to describe how numerous plant foods resemble organs in appearance (carrot looks like eye; walnut looks like brain) and can provide accordant nutritional benefits. This fast moving show contains tons of takeaway tips for healing herbs like astragalus (overall immune boosting) and tumeric (not just anti-inflammatory but also helps getting blood moving - nourishing your “Chi” energy in Chinese medicine). Dr. Axe brings a lot of spirituality to his health insights, and you’ll appreciate his emphasis on living in gratitude. One of his final takeaway insights is to perform a “spiritual triathlon” every morning, such as a gratitude exercise. Here are some of the most important points Josh makes in the show that pertain to his book, Ancient Remedies ( https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Remedies-Essential-Powerful-Medicine/dp/0316496456/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=ancient+remedies+dr.+axe&qid=1598025872&sr=8-4 ) : * Heal your body using food as medicine * Mindset is so important for healing * Just how many of our common ailments are caused by the foods we eat * One topic we spend a good amount of time on is the idea that *Like Supports Like*. Meaning, consuming foods that look like organs actually supports those organs. Some examples include: * *Tomatoes* look like heart chambers – and guess what? They’re cardio-protective. Studies show that eating tomatoes reduces blood pressure, and protects the heart from damage during a heart attack. * *Reishi mushrooms* resemble kidneys and adrenals – and boost energy and stamina, even in people with conditions like fibromyalgia. * *Coconuts* look like heads – and coconut oil is good for brain health. * *Carrots* resemble eyes – and are good for vision. * *Walnuts* look like mini brains – and are the best nut for brain health. Studies show that eating walnuts improves cognitive processing speed and memory. * *Celery* stalks look like bones – and protect bone health. * *Ginger* looks like a stomach – and is an antidote for nausea. And what about like supports like when it comes to organs themselves? And what about the carnivore rationale? Here’s a quick list of the colors and tastes of foods that activate and support specific organs: * Green – detoxification * Orange – digestion * Yellow – immune * Blue - hormonal/endocrine * Red - heart * Sour – liver * Sweet – pancreas * Bitter – heart * Umami – lungs * Salty – adrenal Dr. Axe also brings up the importance of eating right for your element. By that, he is referring to how there are 5 elements in both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda (the Doshas). Think of it like an ancient personalized health plan; similar to enneagram tests, but for diet. The founder of Ancient Nutrition ( http://ancientnutrition.com/ ) , Dr. Axe is a certified doctor of natural medicine (DNM), doctor of chiropractic (DC) and clinical nutritionist (CNS), who is fueled by a deep passion for helping people get healthy, by empowering them to use nutrition to fuel their health. He is the bestselling author of KETO DIET ( https://www.amazon.com/Keto-Diet-Balance-Hormones-Reverse/dp/0316529583/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&keywords=keto+diet+josh+axe&qid=1531259697&sr=8-1 ) , Eat Dirt ( https://my.draxe.com/eat-dirt-book ) , and COLLAGEN DIET ( https://www.amazon.com/Collagen-Diet-Sustained-Glowing-Younger/dp/0316529656/ref=pd_sbs_14_6/137-5220443-2085418?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=0316529656&pd_rd_r=41c214f4-6ba1-48d1-8960-f73663665edc&pd_rd_w=sJW71&pd_rd_wg=mAyzn&pf_rd_p=43281256-7633-49c8-b909-7ffd7d8cb21e&pf_rd_r=Y81PNBC6BQM9KT9NVGEA&psc=1&refRID=Y81PNBC6BQM9KT9NVGEA ) , and his newest release, Ancient Remedies ( https://www.amazon.com/Ancient-Remedies-Essential-Powerful-Medicine/dp/0316496456/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=ancient+remedies+dr.+axe&qid=1598025872&sr=8-4 ).
