In April 2021, the Sri Lankan government banned imports of all chemical fertilizers. They were the first country to do this. President Gotabaya Rajapaksa explained in a speech: If we are to preserve the health of our planet and ensure human sustainability, governments all over the world must not hesitate to adopt bold policies The import ban turned out to be a bit too bold. Amidst plunging farm yields and soaring food inflation, the ban did not last the year. I covered Sri Lanka's economic crisis in a prior video three years ago, but did not mention the fertilizer ban. So let me do it this time. In today's video, the disastrous Sri Lankan fertilizer import ban.

Few physicians ever experience healthcare from the perspective of a health plan, but Jacob Asher, MD, is an exception. A former ENT surgeon with Kaiser Permanente, Asher shifted gears in 2008 to pursue a career in commercial health plan management. Over the next 14 years, he served as California Commercial Market Medical Director for Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare. Today, he shares his expertise by mentoring students in Stanford University's Master's Program in Medical Informatics. In this conversation with host Michael Sacopulos, Asher pulls back the curtain on commercial insurance — from how contracts are structured, to who holds pricing power, why behavioral health has been siloed, and what AI might finally be able to fix in a system long defined by friction and misaligned incentives. Asher also shares how serving on Kaiser Permanente's Medical Group Board of Directors helped prompt his move from surgery into health plan leadership. He also discusses the role of AAPL (then ACPE) in preparing physicians for non-clinical career paths. Learn more about the American Association for Physician Leadership at www.physicianleaders.org.

People have been so busy with AI data centers and surging memory prices that they forgot about the EU Chips Act. And to be honest, I did too until I traveled to Antwerp for ITF World 2026 and someone at the media session mentioned that a Chips Act 2 is coming. But second breakfast so soon? In December 2025, the EU Court of Auditors released its special report on the first Chips Act. A quick read of this and other recent events says that Europe's current chip policy must change. It is not working. In today's video, a brief check-in on the EU Chips Act.

In part two of this series, Dr. Andy Southerland and Dr. Dan Ackerman discuss a few rapid‑fire concepts from the 2026 guidelines, focusing on what is new and how emerging data may shape patient care.  Show transcript:  Dr. Andy Southerland: Hello, everyone. This is Andy Southerland from the University of Virginia. And for today's Neurology Minute, I'm speaking with my friend and colleague, Dan Ackerman, Chief of Neurology and Director of Stroke at St. Luke's University Health System. We've been speaking in the main neurology podcast on tips for updated clinical practice related to the 2026 American Heart Association guidelines for the early management of patients with acute ischemic stroke. I'm going to hit Dan with a few rapid fire concepts that were touched on the guidelines that I think are new or provide some new insights, new based on the data and to how we treat patients. So Dan, you ready for it? Rapid fire, acute stroke treatment decision making? Dr. Dan Ackerman: Absolutely. Hit me. Dr. Andy Southerland: All right, Dan. I'm a resident going to my first stroke alert on July one this year and I've got a patient coming in, they're having disabling stroke symptoms and they're, in every other way, eligible to receive thrombolysis, but they have a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. They are on apixaban and they took a dose of that apixaban. They forgot to take one yesterday, but they took one the day before, had the evening before. And so 36 hours ago, they took a dose of their apixaban. So based on previous dogma, I think prior guidelines might've said if it's within that 48 hour window, that's a relative contraindication of thrombolysis. What, say, you based on the new guidelines and then how do they inform us about making that decision? Dr. Dan Ackerman: I would actually say the new guidelines are a little bit more aligned with what you just said. You mentioned it as a relative contraindication to thrombolysis. I think before these guidelines came out, a lot of people would've said, "No, that is a strict contraindication to thrombolysis." And a lot of folks would run a stroke code or a stroke lid a little slower knowing that, hey, this person is on, whether it's apixaban, rivaroxaban, edoxaban, dabigatran, et cetera, any of these direct oral anticoagulants and say, "Well, no, we know that person's not a candidate for thrombolytics." Well, no, the newer guidelines would suggest that that is a relative contraindication, not a strict contraindication. And when we look back at studies on this, it has not been suggested that there is a big contribution in terms of exactly how long ago that last dose was. Was it two hours ago, 12 hours ago, 20 hours ago? And there has not been shown to be a clear benefit of testing for factor Xa activity levels, bleeding time and the like. So the guidelines do suggest that, hey, we need more data on this. It's not to, say, that this is 100% perfectly fine. Remember, that's a relative contraindication, so it's still a risk benefit discussion, but studies have not shown an increased risk for hemorrhagic complications in patients who have had recent DOAC exposure who receive IV thrombolysis otherwise according to the guidelines. So I would tend to offer it in that situation and make sure that we document what drugs someone's on, how long ago was their last dose, all of this kind of information in addition to what we might normally otherwise get down. Dr. Andy Southerland: Does that change, Dan, if they took the DOAC in the last 24 hours or even 12 hours? They took it last night, and they're presenting in the morning with their stroke-like symptoms? Dr. Dan Ackerman: The guideline just suggests less than 48 hours, and the data, to my knowledge, doesn't really delineate, at this point, any particular timeframe where we would say, no, there's a cutoff there at two hours or eight hours or 12 hours. So at this point, I would not use that as a way to decide not to offer thrombolysis based on that timeframe. Dr. Andy Southerland: Fair enough. I think that's very reasonable. And I think, again, it's always a good conversation to have either with your attending, if you're that resident on July 1, but particularly with the patient and their family on the risk-benefit of what we know based on the data. Well, that's all the time we have for this Neurology Minute. We hope this discussion will continue to help everyone out there in the hyperacute management of patients with acute ischemic stroke, making those difficult treatment decisions. Good luck.

We often associate Taiwan with chips. Taiwanese chips. It's their thing right? But Taiwan's strength is actually only in logic chips. In the industry's other big sector, memory and DRAM memory in particular, Taiwan is second-tier. Hardly a player. It's not that the Taiwanese haven't tried to break into DRAM before. In fact, they spent billions trying for two decades. They just keep losing at it over and over again. In this video, we look at Vanguard, TI-Acer, Taiwan Memory Corporation and Taiwan's DRAM failure.

What does it take to build a culture of ethics inside a health system — and what happens when leaders lack the courage to defend it? In this episode of SoundPractice, host Mike Sacopulos sits down with Arthur Caplan, PhD, one of the world's foremost bioethicists and the founding head of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU Grossman School of Medicine's Department of Population Health. Dr. Caplan traces his path into bioethics from a childhood hospitalization for polio to graduate training at Columbia, where he witnessed firsthand the ethical gaps in medicine's early encounters with IVF, informed consent, and research oversight. That experience shaped a career devoted not just to theorizing about ethics, but to solving real problems in real institutions. In this wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Caplan and Mike Sacopulos explore: - What an effective ethics infrastructure looks like - The defining bioethical challenges of the next decade - Compassionate use and unproven therapies - Misinformation and informed consent - Rationing and equity - Bioethics training for the next generation Learn more about the American Association for Physician Leadership.

VOV1 - Viện Nghiên cứu Cao nguyên Thanh Tạng, Trung Quốc, ngày 21/5 công bố một nghiên cứu cho thấy hiện tượng nóng lên toàn cầu có thể làm gia tăng đáng kể phát thải methane từ các vùng đất ngập nước tự nhiên, qua đó tạo thêm sức ép đối với nỗ lực kiểm soát biến đổi khí hậu trên phạm vi toàn cầu.Theo thông tin được phía Trung Quốc công bố, nhóm nghiên cứu do các nhà khoa học Trương Trăn và Lý Tân phối hợp với các cộng sự quốc tế thực hiện đã lần đầu xây dựng được một khung đánh giá xác suất đối với mức gia tăng phát thải methane từ đất ngập nước trong tương lai. Trên cơ sở sử dụng mô hình hệ sinh thái trên cạn tiên tiến cùng dữ liệu quan trắc đất ngập nước toàn cầu, nghiên cứu đã định lượng khả năng xảy ra phản hồi methane từ đất ngập nước trong bối cảnh nhiệt độ Trái Đất tiếp tục tăng.Kết quả cho thấy, trong kịch bản phát thải cao, đến những năm 2030, lượng methane phát sinh thêm từ các vùng đất ngập nước tự nhiên có 90% khả năng sẽ làm giảm hiệu quả từ 8% đến 10% mục tiêu cắt giảm methane do con người đặt ra hiện nay trên toàn cầu. Xa hơn, đến cuối thế kỷ 21, lượng phát thải methane từ đất ngập nước có thể tăng thêm từ 50% đến 60% so với mức hiện tại.Methane là một trong những khí nhà kính quan trọng nhất, chỉ đứng sau CO2 về vai trò đối với biến đổi khí hậu. Tuy nhiên, trong khung thời gian 20 năm, tác động làm nóng của methane được đánh giá mạnh hơn hơn 80 lần so với CO2. Đây cũng là lý do khiến việc kiểm soát phát thải methane ngày càng trở thành một nội dung quan trọng trong các chính sách khí hậu quốc tế.Để đưa ra kết luận trên, nhóm nghiên cứu đã triển khai chương trình so sánh các mô hình methane đất ngập nước trong tương lai, tập hợp 7 mô hình chủ đạo trên thế giới. Kết quả mô phỏng cho thấy cứ mỗi khi nhiệt độ trung bình trên đất liền toàn cầu tăng thêm 1 độ C, lượng methane phát thải từ đất ngập nước có thể tăng trung bình từ 14 triệu đến 34 triệu tấn mỗi năm. Đáng chú ý, khoảng 68% lượng phát thải bổ sung trong tương lai được xác định sẽ đến từ các khu vực nhiệt đới.Các nhà khoa học cho rằng kết quả nghiên cứu cung cấp thêm cơ sở khoa học quan trọng cho việc hoạch định chính sách giảm phát thải methane và ứng phó với biến đổi khí hậu. Đồng thời, nghiên cứu cũng cho thấy nhu cầu cấp thiết phải mở rộng mạng lưới quan trắc dài hạn tại các khu vực nhiệt đới và vùng cao lạnh, kết hợp với công nghệ viễn thám vệ tinh thế hệ mới nhằm nâng cao năng lực giám sát, dự báo và ứng phó với những phản hồi khí hậu ngày càng phức tạp./.Trung Kiên/VOV Bắc KinhSơ đồ minh họa quá trình phát thải khí methane ở vùng đất ngập nước và các kỹ thuật quan sát được sử dụng trong nghiên cứu này.

For the first few decades of its existence, all lasers were side-firing lasers - meaning the beam comes out of the wafer's side. Horizontally. But in the late 1970s, a new type of semiconductor laser emerged. One that fired out of the wafer surface, vertically. Yes. It sounds a bit weird. At first, nobody had any idea what to do with it. But over time, the technology has been adopted into a wide variety of everyday applications. Today, it literally shines into people's faces.

In this episode of SoundPractice, host Mike Sacopulos speaks with two physician-researchers whose landmark study is sounding an early warning about the long-term consequences of state abortion restrictions on the U.S. physician workforce. Anisha Ganguly, MD, MPH, assistant professor of medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Anna Morenz, MD, MPH, assistant clinical professor of internal medicine at the University of Arizona, discuss their study published in JAMA Network Open in March 2026. Their study analyzed nearly 24.2 million residency applications submitted to more than 4,300 programs across all medical specialties between the 2018–2019 and 2022–2023 application cycles. Using an interrupted time-series causal methodology developed in collaboration with health economist Anirban Basu, PhD, MS, at the University of Washington, the team found that applications to programs in states enacting new abortion restrictions after Dobbs dropped significantly — among both male and female applicants. Among the conversation's most striking moments: Ganguly reveals that the decline among men applicants was larger than expected — and larger than they had originally hypothesized. She and Morenz discuss why this makes Dobbs an “all of us” problem, not just a women's issue, and what it signals about the broader reproductive climate of restricted states. The episode also covers the pipeline problem: because more than half of physicians ultimately practice in the state where they trained, sustained declines in application volume could worsen existing physician shortages in primary care and emergency medicine in restricted states for years to come. Morenz shares a timely update: in the most recent March 2026 match cycle, two OB-GYN residency programs — both in Texas — failed to fill all their slots.

What does commanding troops in combat have to do with leading a hospital? More than you might think. In this episode of SoundPractice, host Mike Sacopulos sits down with Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, U.S. Army (Ret) — former commander of U.S. Army Forces in Europe, CNN military analyst — to explore the surprising parallels between military and medical leadership. Soldiers and physicians share more in common than most realize. Both are defined by their profession first, and both operate in life-and-death environments where leadership is not optional. Hertling shares how he came to spend nearly a decade at AdventHealth developing physician leadership programs, what his doctoral research revealed about inter-professional training, and why getting doctors, nurses, and administrators in the same room may be the single most important thing hospitals can do. Inter-professional leadership training produces measurably better outcomes than siloed programs. He also discusses his newly released memoir, If I Don't Return: A Father's Wartime Journal, drawn from a handwritten journal he kept during Operation Desert Storm.

South Korean President Park Chung-hee believed that steel is national power. He wanted a huge integrated steel mill in South Korea. But the Western powers were skeptical. South Korea was extremely poor, without substantial iron reserves. Their workers, uneducated. For South Korea to go straight to what was then the most capital-intensive heavy industry was to defy economic orthodoxy. Too soon. Too inefficient. But Park Chung-hee believed Korea needed steel. So he pushed his country to build one of the world's most advanced steel companies. In today's video, we go back to the world of steel and recount one of South Korea's most iconic companies: POSCO.

What does it mean to truly flourish at work — and why are physician leaders especially vulnerable to losing that? In this episode of SoundPractice, host Mike Sacopulos sits down with MaryCay Durrant, a nationally recognized expert on human fulfillment whose 30-year career has taken her inside transformation efforts at Deloitte, Pepsi, Johnson & Johnson, Hyatt, and — increasingly — the world of healthcare and physician leadership. MaryCay brings a perspective that is part organizational science, part nature wisdom, and entirely focused on helping leaders rediscover what fuels them. Her approach helps human beings flourish at work. The conversation moves from the personal — MaryCay's father was a pediatrician and president of the American College of Physician Executives — to the deeply practical, as she walks through her WORK model, a framework for combating burnout through small, consistent adjustments rather than wholesale system overhaul. As she describes in two compelling case studies, meaningful change happens through small communities of practice — not top-down mandates.

Today, modern gas turbine inlet temperatures can reach an infernal 1,600 degrees Celsius. That's hotter than most lavas. What can handle such extreme conditions? Some of the most special metals you will ever see in your life. Metals tortured to survive things that regular metals never can. And it is still not enough.

Join host Mike Sacopulos for an eye-opening conversation with Hugo Huang about the financial realities of adopting generative AI in healthcare organizations. Drawing from his Harvard Business Review article "What CEOs Need to Know About the Costs of Adopting Gen AI," Hugo explains why many companies are pulling back from AI implementation due to unexpected cost pressures — and what leaders can do to avoid these pitfalls. From understanding the difference between predictive and generative AI to navigating infrastructure bottlenecks and the emerging "diamond-shaped" organizational structure, this episode provides practical guidance for healthcare executives navigating the complex landscape of AI adoption. Hugo Huang, MBA, is an expert in cloud computing and business models who works with Canonical, a leading provider of infrastructure technology for Google's cloud business. He discusses building your AI cost dashboard, top metrics CEOs should track for AI spending visibility, understanding consumption patterns to estimate future costs, and getting started safely on AI.
