SCCM Pod-466: Hyperammonemia, the Silent Killer
Untreated hyperammonemia can cause irreversible neurologic damage, coma, or death. A high level of clinical suspicion is necessary to quickly recognize and implement emergency interventions for hyperammonemia in the acute presentation of urea cycle disorders (UCDs). Pamela M. Peeke, MD, MPH, FACP, FACSM, is joined by Anna-Kaisa Niemi, MD, PhD, and a patient who was hospitalized for hyperammonemia at age 8 years to discuss the importance of improved recognition of hyperammonemia and awareness of the underlying causes, such as UCDs. Dr. Niemi is a neonatologist and associate professor at Rady Children’s Hospital in San Die...

Is Meditation a "Mind Science?" with Evan Thompson (BS 202)
Brief Audience Survey
Evan Thompson (click to play, right click to download mp3
The idea that meditation is a "mind science" is popular, but in this interview Canadian philosopher Evan Thompson argues that this claim does not stand up to either scientific or philosophical scrutiny. As one of the pioneers of the Embodied Cognition movement Thompson reminds us that the Mind is not restricted to the Brain and we must also consider how ot...
