About 200 years ago, Antarctica was barely an idea. Today it's a world of scientific possibility. How did we get here -- and what will happen as climate change continues to threaten this pristine land and the creatures that call it home? From the PBS NewsHour, an original four-part series on Antarct...

Much of what we've heard about the coronavirus is from major cities like New York. But what's happening to hospitals in rural America, where there are more high-risk patients, fewer resources and a smaller safety net -- if there is one at all? We talk to two front-line hospital workers in southwest Georgia, and one man in West Texas who has pieced together his own supply chain to get hospitals the equipment they need.

Introducing America, Interrupted

On a big white cruise ship, 140 tourists have paid thousands of dollars for a rare first-hand tour of Antarctica. Humans didn't set foot on the continent until about 200 years ago, but now, it draws more than 50,000 visitors a year. Why are people going today -- and how does this journey compare to the famous "Heroic Age" trek by Ernest Shackleton about a century before? PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

EPISODE 1:  Nobody warned us it would be like this

Ron Naveen has been counting penguins on a remote, inhospitable stretch of Antarctica for nearly four decades. He's one of the few people who still counts these adorable, flightless, slightly awkward birds by hand. Penguins have survived a host of environmental changes over 60 million years. But Naveen says climate change could mean the end for two species of his favorite Antarctic birds. Here's why. PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

EPISODE 2: I'm a penguin counter for God's sake!

Over thousands of years, humans built civilizations on every other continent on Earth. But it wasn't until the 1800s that we arrived on Antarctica. Today, it's still a place with no indigenous population, no official government and not a single paved road. And thanks to a unique Cold War diplomatic breakthrough, Antarctica today remains a continent dedicated largely to science. How and why did humans first arrive in Antarctica? And what is it like for the men and women who live there now? PBS News is supported by - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/about/funders

EPISODE 3:  Bars, babies and a big breakthrough

Antarctica is covered almost entirely by thick sheets of ice, but that ice is now slipping away at an accelerating rate. Many researchers say that as the Earth continues to warm, more and more of the continent's ice will end up in the ocean.  What will climate change mean for coastal communities across the globe as the sea levels rise?

What’s the link between trans fats and dementia?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute.  New research from Kyushu University suggests that consuming trans fats can increase a person’s chance of developing dementia.  The study spanned 10 years and researchers found that participants with the highest level of trans fats in their blood work were 52% more likely to develop dementia.  You may be thinking, “weren’t artificial trans fats banned in the US?” They were….to an extent.  In 2018 the FDA did ban artificial trans fats, but a revision was made.  If a food contains 0.5 g or less, they could put 0g on the label.  If you’re looking to avoid trans fats, try cooking fresh meals at home, instead of buying processed foods.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

Fall is here.  Are you getting enough Vitamin D?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute.  Vitamin D is absorbed through sunlight and certain foods and is necessary for bone and heart health.  Without it, the body can’t absorb calcium. Due to a lack of sunlight, Vitamin D deficiency peaks during Fall and Winter. Being deficient can cause symptoms like fatigue, back pain, depression, and hair loss.  Having a deficiency can even increase the chance of developing Rickets, childhood asthma, and certain types of cancers.  Talk to your doctor if you’re experiencing symptoms of a Vitamin D deficiency.  A simple blood test can help your doctor determine if supplements are needed.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

When’s the best time to eat: before or after a workout?  This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute.  New research out of Universities of Bath and Birmingham suggests that eating after a workout may be more beneficial than eating before.  The researchers studied three different groups.  The first group ate breakfast before exercise, the second ate after exercise, and the third group didn’t make any changes.  All three groups were given the same meal.  The group that ate after exercise burned up to twice as much fat than the group that ate before.  Why? Because your body is kicked into fasting mode when you sleep.  When you eat before exercising, your body uses the insulin created by eating instead of using stored fat.  This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.

En el futuro, la apariencia de las ciudades no se alejará mucho de su aspecto actual, pero sí que cambiará su funcionamiento: los recursos se utilizarán de un modo más eficiente y razonable, y en general serán más sostenibles de lo que son hoy. Convertir los núcleos urbanos en mejores sitios para vivir será posible gracias a la integración de las tecnologías digitales con las infraestructuras de la metrópolis. En este capítulo de Redes, el arquitecto y diseńador Carlo Ratti revela a Elsa Punset que esta transformación ya se ha puesto en marcha y explica de qué modo las nuevas tecnologías tienen el potencial de cambiar tanto las ciudades como las conductas de sus habitantes. Y además, pondremos a prueba los conocimientos de los ciudadanos en materia de sostenibilidad y veremos cómo mejorarlos.

Redes 162: Ciudadanos en red

Cada dos ańos, aproximadamente, se dobla la potencia de los ordenadores. Sin duda, la capacidad de computación avanza a pasos agigantados, pero en un futuro no muy lejano, esta alcanzará un límite que no podremos rebasar con la tecnología que utilizamos actualmente. En este capítulo de Redes, el físico Juan Ignacio Cirac habla con Eduard Punset del desarrollo de los ordenadores del futuro, los cuales, para vencer las limitaciones futuras de la computación clásica, aprovecharán las leyes de la física de lo más pequeńo: la mecánica cuántica. Y la Mirada de Elsa abordará la multitarea, una práctica que el cerebro práctica a menudo y, a veces, con exceso. żSomos buenos haciendo varias cosas a la vez?

Redes 161: El ordenador del futuro

Las carreras científicas ya no se centran en una única disciplina. El enorme volumen de información, fruto del acelerado avance científico y tecnológico de las últimas décadas, ha hecho que la biología, la computación, la ingeniería o la física no puedan salir adelante si no cooperan unas con otras. En este capítulo de Redes, el biólogo computacional Ajay Royyuru explica a Eduard Punset la necesidad ineludible de investigar desde un enfoque multidisciplinar. Y en su sección, Elsa Punset habla con el arquitecto Juli Capella sobre la vida secreta de los objetos y de las ideas.

Redes 158: El reto de investigar en equipo

Nuestro universo está sembrado de colosales trampas de las que nada puede escapar, ni tan siquiera la luz. Son zonas en las que la deformación de la malla espacio-temporal es máxima. Rincones del cosmos con un gran potencial destructor y todavía muy desconocidos. Los hemos denominado agujeros negros y en este capítulo de Redes, el astrofísico Caleb Scharf nos habla de ellos y nos enseńa que no siempre son tan fieros como los pintan. Y La Mirada de Elsa abordará hoy el miedo a la insignificancia, que nos lleva a menudo a infravalorar nuestra vida al compararnos con los demás.

Redes 156: La cara amable del agujero negro

Son mamíferos como nosotros y compartimos un antepasado que vivió hace unos 90 millones de ańos. Este largo trecho evolutivo ha hecho que nos diferenciemos de los delfines, pero un rasgo muy particular ha surgido con independencia en ambos linajes: la inteligencia. En este capítulo de Redes, la experta en cognición de delfines Diana Reiss, repasa con Eduard Punset las habilidades de, seguramente, la especie marina más inteligente. Y en su sección, Elsa Punset aborda la empatía y el altruismo como motores fundamentales en la historia evolutiva de nuestra especie.

Australia's koala population has been hit hard by two rapidly spreading diseases: chlamydia (a sexually transmitted infection) and a retrovirus similar to HIV. Scientists are working to develop vaccines, while lay citizens help care for sick koalas. Biologists say the epidemics, combined with other threats like habitat loss, pose a serious threat to the species.

In this interview with The World's Marco Werman, NOVA Producer Miles O'Brien describes how surveillance footage played a key role in cracking the case of the Boston Marathon bombings. But as O’Brien discovered in the course of reporting the NOVA special “Manhunt—Boston Bombers,” other cities, especially New York City, have surveillance camera networks that are far more advanced than Boston’s hodgepodge system. O’Brien recounts just how powerful those systems are and what that may portend for privacy in the future.

(25:00) Despite many many failures, Ron has finally come to the end of his Paramedic training experience. This week he retook the skill he failed, and took his NREMT-P cognitive exam. Listen to find out the results.
What I Did This Week
On Saturday I went to the ALERT Academy in Big Sandy Texas and retook my pedi-vent skill. A very nice female paramedic gave me a test prep book. Which I only had one day to use and didn’t really get all the way through it.
I really haven’t studied a lot. Took a number of tests on MedicTests.com. That was really it, and not even the number they suggested. 
On Monday I took the test fully expecting abject failure. I even convinced my wife I was going to fail. I told her if I finished at 70 questions, I know I’ve failed.

Listener Questions

Matt asks:
I will be graduating college this coming December with a bachelors degree in Political Science and French (yes, I know my major in strange for a person interested in medicine!) I’m also hoping to be done with my Paramedic program around that same time.  I’m really interested in research, what kind of opportunities are out there for EMS research?


EMS FREAK
What are some of the major differences between a rual EMS system as opposed to one set up in a major city?


JP Asks:
My question is do you have to be great at math to be a medic. I really struggle in my algebra classes in high school. Through out my emt-b program I haven’t seen very much math, but will it come back to haunt me in my medic course? I appreciate any advice you guys give me and look forward to your answer.

Listener Questions

I wanted to find out more about becoming a paramedic or EMT.  At what level do these positions stop being volunteer and start becoming paid positions?  What training and experience is necessary to become a paid EMT or paramedic?
– Sacha 

Really a listener answer.
Kelly and Ron,
As an avid listener of the show, I can’t help but comment on some of what was said on the last podcast.
Firstly, any automated reading algorithm is prone to incorrectly measure the QT interval when the t wave is low voltage or biphasic. It’s important to manually check if the T wave ends past the mid-point between R waves (for heart rates about 60-100 bpm). It’s usually at this point that the QT becomes clinically significant.
Secondly, the risk of torsades with prolonged QT is exaggerated. While all patient who go into torsades have a long QT, most patients with a long QT will not go into torsades. (see Severe QTc prolongation under mild hypothermia treatment and incidence of arrhythmias after cardiac arrest–a prospective study in 34 survivors with continuous Holter ECG.Storm C, Hasper D, Nee J, Joerres A, Schefold JC, Kaufmann J, Roser M.Resuscitation. 2011 Jul;82(7):859-62. Epub 2011 Mar 15. PMID: 21482009; and Droperidol, QT prolongation, and sudden death: what is the evidence? Kao LW, Kirk MA, Evers SJ, Rosenfeld SH. Ann Emerg Med. 2003 Apr;41(4):546-58. Review. PMID: 12658255)
Third, the function of a pacemaker magnet is to turn off any sensing functions and cause it to pace at a fixed rate. This used to be how the battery was checked (the pacing rate with magnet correlated to battery charge). If the patient has an underlying rhythm, this can be dangerous because it creates the potential for an r on t. The pacer magnet is most often used when attempting to diagnose a pacemaker mediated tachycardia in an atrial sensing pacer. When the magnet is placed on a device configured as ICD only, any anti-tachycardia pacing and cardioversion functions are disabled.
Pacemaker mediated tachycardia has two common causes. The first occurs in a pacemaker that is configured to trigger the ventricles when it senses an atrial beat. A ventricular paced beat has retrograde atrial capture, which is sensed by the pacemaker as an atrial beat, so it triggers a ventricular beat that causes another retrograde atrial beat, which is sensed by the pacemaker, etc etc etc. The second occurs when the device is set for rate modulation. Some devices are configured to increase the rate of pacing when an accelerometer senses movement (eg going up stairs). If the patient is shaking from anxiety or is having muscle spasms, it can trigger the pacer to fire too fast. This theory can be tested with a pacer magnet, and treated with your favourite benzo.

Kate's guest is Ryan Shane discussing the Turkey UFO case.

The Kumburgaz, Turkey UFO sightings of 2007-2009

The Kumburgaz, Turkey UFO incident involves several witnesses who live in the local village, extensively analyzed video, a report by the Scientific and Technology Research Board of Turkey (which is sponsored by the government), video showing unidentified flying objects filmed at extremely close range, and was witnessed by the very own Dr. Roger Leir in person. The Turkey UFO sightings were much more than your typical light in the sky. The incidents were dramatic. For several days disc, metallic spheres, round, and oval shaped unknown craft visited the Sea of Marmara just off the coast of Kumburgaz, Turkey.

Mar­shall Klar­feld grad­u­ated with an engi­neer­ing degree from CALTECH in 1951,
after study­ing under such lumi­nar­ies as Nobel Lau­re­ate pro­fes­sors Richard Feyn­man
and Linus Paul­ing. Fas­ci­nated by what he con­sid­ered advanced sci­en­tific knowl­edge
in the Bible’s story of cre­ation, Klar­feld embarked on a quest to unravel the mys­ter­ies
sur­round­ing humanity’s early his­tory. His work has led him to pub­lish three books,
ADAM, the Miss­ing Link, GILGAMESH 10, and The ANUNNAKI Were Here!. The lat­ter
Klarfeld’s newest book, details his excit­ing new the­ory of “wash­board gold min­ing” in
use by the ANUNNAKI, a the­ory which, when proven, will turn the archae­ol­ogy
com­mu­nity upside-down.
To date Mar­shall has made eight appear­ances on the pop­u­lar “Coast to Coast AM” radio
pro­gram, and recently was inter­viewed by Shirley MacLaine.
