For The Greater Good

We’re back! Join Dan (@drusyniak) &amp;Howard (@heshiegreshie) as they explore the GI tract of the city, build a career of excrement, and determine which bathroom is the cleanest with Dr. Peter Chai (@PeterRchai). We hope that everyone stays safe, washes their hands and wears a mask. Let’s beat this virus together. Delicious Links  It’s robots all the way down, influencing many of us in countless ways. From the Fembots, to the Daleks, to Bender. You can make a battery out of almost anything, from a potato, to pennies, to an apple, to a lemon. Although, there are those that would find the latter UNACCEPTABLE. The future is filled with possibility. There are myriad technologies applicable to medicine and toxicology that range from wearable head-mounted devices, to ingestible sensors. There are approaches that can be used to help combat the opioid crisis. From an individual level, using digital pills to measure ingestion patterns, to the community, analyzing opioid exposure in wastewater. The technology can also be used to measure medication adherence and help influence adherence interventions. There’s even current research analyzing wastewater applicable to the COVID-19 crisis. You’ll never really want to know How Dirty Is Your Bathroom . . . But you can also use technology to help keep it clean. There are, naturally,  methods to eliminate poop splash from the splash zone.

Inside Out

Join Dan (@drusyniak) &amp;Howard (@heshiegreshie) as they explore the world of gene editing with Dr. Jillian Theobald (@JillianTheobald). Dive deep into CRISPR and how it is revolutionizing the way we view the genome and what can be done with it, both good and bad. From Bristle blocks to genetic terrorism, it’s a warm hand-knit Holiday Snuggie™ for you to enjoy the end of the year. Happy Holidays from everyone here at Dantastic HQ! Delicious Links  Here are a few videos that give an overview of CRISPR and how it works, including a TED talk from Jennifer Doudna who co-invented the technique. Here’s a great episode of Radiolab that also discusses CRISPR. Here’s  Part 1 from 2015, and then the  update from 2017. “It’s you, Daddy!” Bristle blocks, an indelible toy from childhood. How your  morning yogurt revolutionized gene editing. CRISPR is a powerful tool. Many now see this easy-to-use technique as a  threat to national safety. Or an  uncertain future for humanity. While it can  certainly be used nefariously, CRISPR can also help to determine the characterization of putative cancer genes. Or, you can  build a better vaccine. Or cure a devastating neuromuscular disease like Duchenne muscular dystrophy?  There’s a CRISPR for that. Some even try to build a better self by  biohacking their genes. Whenever I read a story of self-experimentation, I always have to link to  Who Goes First? The Story of Self-Experimentation in Medicine by Lawrence K. Altman. Got Mutation? Advanced gene editing can correct one base pair at a time. Even the tomatoes aren’t safe. How CRISPR is revolutionizing crops. Just because  we can kill all the mosquitos, should we? Here are the  most important gene editing stories of 2019.  Special Thanks Thank you for your continued support.

All I Want for Christmas is Two New Base Pairs

Join Dan (@drusyniak) &amp;Howard (@heshiegreshie) as they set out to change the conversation about substance use with Bill Kinkle (@billkinkle). This one comes with a warning. We will discuss graphic descriptions of drug use, addiction behaviors and stigmatizing language. Help us to end the stigma associated with addiction. Take the pledge. We pledge to use compassionate, person-centered language when discussing a person with a substance use disorder, and to stop the stigma associated with addiction. Words matter. We pledge to use better ones.  Delicious Links  As we will continue to repeat over and over, words matter. There’s evidence that word choice impacts on recovery. Biased labels influence medical care and perceptions by health professionals, although it's not so clear for individuals in recovery. Dan is taller than Howard. Dan is better at podcasting. Therefore, taller people are better at podcasting. Think that those things are related? Well, maybe in this case, yes. But, you may be suffering from Berkson’s Bias (or Paradox) . . . Don't treat Berkson’s bias with Maslow's hammer . . . Decriminalization works.  Just ask the Portuguese. Institutionalized racism and the war on drugs. Highlighting the analogy of diabetes, albeit in a tongue in cheek fashion. The Use of Insulin in the Treatment of Diabetes: An Analogy to Methadone Maintenance A really good twitter thread from Renee Johnson, looking for suggestions ways to address misperceptions about substance use. Safe injection sites.  Another excellent tool in the battle. Why don't we approach substance use disorders like other illnesses with risk mitigation strategies and looking for the root causes?  Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and social determinants of health may be the direction to follow. Learn more about the neurobehavioral underpinnings of addiction with Dr. Andy Chambers in one of our earlier episodes,  Life Is a Highway (S01E07). A  fascinating look by Maia Szalavitz at addiction that challenges the idea that it is a disease with a radical perspective. If you want more resources by people who are really good at this, check out Changing The Narrative. Special thanks to them for inspiring this episode. Listen to more of Bill at the Health Professionals in Recovery podcast. Or check out their website or twitter account (@ HPIRPodcast). Read more of Bill’s story here. You really only need to watch this to understand. Narcan Saved my Daddy.   Bill with his son Micah in the waiting room of a local urgent care. At the time of this photo, Bill was in acute opioid withdrawal, which negates the idea that people who use drugs don’t care about anything except drugs.

Delicious Links  The one, the only, Homer William Smith. "Superficially, it might be said that the function of the kidneys is to make urine; but in a more considered view, one can say that the kidneys make the stuff of philosophy itself."

Here are the AKIN criteria for acute kidney injury And a nice review of biomarkers in acute kidney injury Learn about the signs and symptoms of dialysis disequilibrium syndrome and the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of hemodialysis emergencies. For the DIY crowd, the  CKD-EPI equation and calculator (AKA where that GFR on the labs comes from) Dr. Mitch Halperin’s fantastic physiology study of toluene and why it doesn’t cause RTA . . . Nice review of Balkan endemic nephropathy (and aristolochic acid) The EXTRIP workgroup for extracorporeal treatment of poisoning Here’s the paper by Amdisen and Skjoldborg that showed lithium exiting the CSF in 1969 Here are some more Dad jokes if you didn’t get enough from this episode . . . and of course, this.

Join Dan (@drusyniak) &amp;Howard (@heshiegreshie) as they turn on, tune in, and drop out with Dr. Howard McKinney, Jr. during the Summer of Love and the “Decade of Tox”. They’ll remind you to always know your chemist, round up your spotters, chill out in the space station, experience the Wall Of Sound and never drink the Flavor-Aid. Strap in for a wild ride. Delicious Links  A brief history of Rock Medicine. Learn more about the Wall of Sound, “the largest, most technologically innovative sound system ever built”, and it’s inventor, Owsley Stanley. It’s really all about the music, the likes of which it is  unlikely we will experience again. After Van Halen, but before morning radio host, find out what  David Lee Roth’s perfect job was. Ride with the  Angels, and one of their founders, Sonny Barger. But be careful, and don’t take a beating,  Hunter. Opioid crisis got you in a MOUD? An older way of managing opioid addiction - propoxyphene. A must read for anyone with an interest in toxicology,  The Case of the Frozen Addicts. A chemical love story and it’s continuation -  PiHKAL and  TiHKAL. Psychedelics are now medicine. Rick Doblin played a role in that. If you weren’t already aware of the People's Temple, the  Jonestown massacre, we’ve got you. Stop saying “Drink the Kool-Aid”. It was  Flavor-Aid, not Kool-Aid, which was used as a genericized trademark. Give the poor  Kool Aid man a break. Although, granted, he is feeding the children his own blood . . .

Cold Cloth Placed to Brow

Join Dan (@drusyniak) &amp;Howard (@heshiegreshie) as they speak with Dr. Ed Boyer about therapies for opioid use disorder, including kratom, ibogaine, and loperamide. Great stuff, deep science and a dispelling of some myths while recognizing some less than savvy science out there. . . Looking forward to part 2, where we find that the dulcet tones of Dan and Howard are the right frequency to treat your blues. Delicious Links  Many of the therapeutics both prescribed and otherwise in the Pharmacological Treatment of Opioid Use Disorder. Mitragynia speciosa korth - self-treatment of opioid withdrawal using kratom. Not only adults are affected by these agents. Neonatal abstinence syndrome due to maternal kratom use. Where can you get these products and agents? Look at the impact of internet pharmacy regulation on opioid analgesics availability. But be careful where you buy. Suspected adulteration of commercial kratom products with 7-hydroxymitragynine. Get intracellular with mu-opioid receptor desensitization by beta-arrestin-2 determines morphine tolerance but not dependence. Some more information as described in beta-arrestin 2 knockout mice. How strong do you like your tea? Quantification of Morphine, Codeine, and Thebaine in Home‐Brewed Poppy Seed Tea by LC‐MS/MS. While out guest certainly doesn’t believe in the magic of ibogaine, there are many out there that still do. Here’s one example of what to look out for . . . in a patient with prolonged multiple cardiac arrhythmias after ingestion of internet purchased ibogaine. Some interesting stuff on addiction research and the use of ibogaine, a “vast, uncontrolled experiment.” Keep your eyes peeled for more cases of tianeptine misuse as reported in poison control center experience with tianeptine: an unregulated pharmaceutical product with potential for abuse. And if you haven’t already read it (and why not?) here is a great post about the toxicity of loperamide used for opioid use disorder - The Worst of Both Worlds.

Release the Kratom

With help from leading experts, dark web entrepreneurs, and a homegrown house band, Toxicologists Howard Greller (@heshiegreshie) and Dan Rusyniak (@drusyniak) take you on an entertaining and educational journey into the field of Medical Toxicology.Special thanks to our announcer,  Josh Shelov (@shelovj), Witness Protection Products™, and our house band, Meconium Aspirate.Comments, questions, suggestions, future topics, recipes? @dantastictox.Stay Healthy, True Believers!

That’s not a lump of coal in your stocking . . . Join Dan (@drusyniak) &amp;Howard (@heshiegreshie) as they speak with Dr. Dan Rusyniak (@drusyniak) live on stage at the 2018 North American Congress of Clinical Toxicology Pre-Meeting Symposium. Dan cleverly tricked Howard into being the foil for his live presentation. Enjoy a couple of turkey burgers as they discuss MDMA and other amphetamines, brown fat, fatigue and why Dan is going straight away to rat-hell. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year from all of us at Mus Maximus. Delicious Links (or a brief preview of Dan’s CV . . . )  What area of the brain mediates exercise-induced fatigue and exhaustion? Very likely the dorsomedial hypothalamus (DMH). Just in case you were wondering, inhibition of the DMH decreases hyperthermia and mortality from MDMA given in a warm environment. But, you may ask, how does one go about suppressing the MDMA-evoked sympathetic and behavioral responses?

Join Dan (@drusyniak) &amp;Howard (@heshiegreshie) as they chat with Dr. Steve Aks as they talk about one of the more concerning toxicologic outbreaks in recent memory - the exposure to brodifacoum through synthetic cannabinoid use. Although still ongoing, this crisis highlights the importance of teamwork and collaboration. Delicious Links  From the Department of Health in Illinois -  synthetic cannabinoids.

The  emerging threat of superwarfarins: history, detection, mechanisms, and countermeasures. A case of brodifacoum intoxication with marijuana smoking. And if that wasn’t good enough, a case of  severe coagulopathy as a consequence of smoking crack cocaine laced with rodenticide. Why is vitamin K so expensive?  Rattled by drug price increases, hospitals seek ways to stay on guard. Why don’t we worry about kids with unintentional exposures to brodifacoum? From the  Illinois Poison Center on the dangers of “Fake Weed” on NPR. Who was Wally Pipp? Why is Steve the “Wally Pipp” of the Dantastic Tox? That’s an answer for over a few drinks . . .

Excerpted dialog from the months-long marijuana conversation . . . DR - Sweet. Thanks Andrew. This will be a smoking good podcast. AM - Sounds good. I hadn’t decided on ACMT yet but perhaps this will push me over the edge to go. I’ve got to clear it with my wife and am coming back from DC now so will wait a couple of days to have that discussion, for strategic reasons! Otherwise I get vaporized at home. . . DR - Understand. Give yourself some time to let the smoke clear. AH - Was OOT last week too. Worried I’ll get stoned at home if I push it too early. DR - Yes, wait. You don’t want to get into the weeds on this one. HG - Thanks Andrew. I find that whenever my wife wants to vaporize me for a blitz of behavior that leaves me fried, a nice baked item brings a sense of mellow. Look forward to talking with you, ACMT or not. AM - She gets green with envy when I travel too much. HG - She’s jealous that you are a toke-n ganjapreneur. Alright. I’m wrecked. AM - Alright, these double entendres are way too low bar. Like CBD low. We’ll need to raise the bar for this podcast. Cannabis Cup level. Much higher. KH - And I expect we will have relive these all on Twitter when the podcast drops... AM - Hey guys. I’m just updating you that I won’t be at ACMT after all. Hopefully that will save you the extra podcast baggage, at least. Should I keep a block of time free on 4/20 or do you want to pre-record it? Figured we should hash it out before schedules get too tight. . . DR - Bummer dude. Howard was hoping to say high. We don’t record live so will need to schedule this month. Are their daze that work better for you. This will be a smoking podcast. KH - Please stop. All these puns are going to give me hyperemesis... AM - Take a hot shower and settle down, Kennon. OK, I'm available. Just let me know what works. Is this a joint session or am I going dolo? HG - Don’t harsh on it, bud. It’ll all be mellow. I could do whichever daze sparks your interest. KH - I just wish you guys could hash this out like adults

Earholes happy? Rate and review! Show the love! Excerpted dialog from the months-long marijuana conversation . . . DR - Sweet. Thanks Andrew. This will be a smoking good podcast. AM - Sounds good. I hadn’t decided on ACMT yet but perhaps this will push me over the edge to go. I’ve got to clear it with my wife and am coming back from DC now so will wait a couple of days to have that discussion, for strategic reasons! Otherwise I get vaporized at home. . . DR - Understand. Give yourself some time to let the smoke clear. AH - Was OOT last week too. Worried I’ll get stoned at home if I push it too early. DR - Yes, wait. You don’t want to get into the weeds on this one. HG - Thanks Andrew. I find that whenever my wife wants to vaporize me for a blitz of behavior that leaves me fried, a nice baked item brings a sense of mellow. Look forward to talking with you, ACMT or not. AM - She gets green with envy when I travel too much. HG - She’s jealous that you are a toke-n ganjapreneur. Alright. I’m wrecked. AM - Alright, these double entendres are way too low bar. Like CBD low. We’ll need to raise the bar for this podcast. Cannabis Cup level. Much higher. KH - And I expect we will have relive these all on Twitter when the podcast drops... AM - Hey guys. I’m just updating you that I won’t be at ACMT after all. Hopefully that will save you the extra podcast baggage, at least. Should I keep a block of time free on 4/20 or do you want to pre-record it? Figured we should hash it out before schedules get too tight. . . DR - Bummer dude. Howard was hoping to say high. We don’t record live so will need to schedule this month. Are their daze that work better for you. This will be a smoking podcast. KH - Please stop. All these puns are going to give me hyperemesis... AM - Take a hot shower and settle down, Kennon. OK, I'm available. Just let me know what works. Is this a joint session or am I going dolo? HG - Don’t harsh on it, bud. It’ll all be mellow. I could do whichever daze sparks your interest. KH - I just wish you guys could hash this out like adults

In the Weeds with the Full Monte

A very special episode, on this First Day of April. We want to welcome you to our new endeavor! Rabid Toxicologists are FOAMing at the mouth to launch their blog As medical toxicologists we have sat, laid down, and rolled over, as other medical professionals have dominated FOAMtox and social media. We know that you are begging for toxicology content. We know that the contributions we have individually made over the years are only scratching at the surface. We know this is our territory and it is time we mark it. That is why we are unleashing The Tox and The Hound. We’re collectively taking all of those meaty toxicology bones we have squirreled away over the years and dropping them at the feet of the FOAM community. As you can see, our pack has some of brightest toxicology minds in the country. Each week our hounds will sniff out the toxicology controversies. We will dig up the issues buried in the literature. We will fetch those topics that we have been itching to tackle. We have been slobbering to do this. But we need you, our loyal friends. We don’t want to be nosey, but we want to know what you, the reader, thinks. Let us know what you would like us to sink our teeth into. Hound us. We will do our best to be obedient. But, be patient. It is going to take some training. There will be accidents along the way. But with your help we can get over the hump and become The Big Dog in FOAMtox. Feeling friendly? You know how we like to say hi. Who’s a good dog? We are! @toxandhound
