Curing Cancer and the CRAP Test: An Interview with Dr. James Yu

In this special episode of the Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine podcast, hosts Shivesh Shourya and Mara Kushelman bring together a remarkable group of individuals transforming spinal cord injury (SCI) recovery through peer mentorship and advocacy. Joining us are Jonathan Sigworth, co-founder of More Than Walking, a nonprofit promoting independent living for SCI survivors; Dr. Benjamin Doolittle, Yale professor and Program Director of the Combined Internal Medicine-Pediatrics Residency Program with a focus on wellness and spirituality in medicine; and Yale medical students Teimur Kayani and Robert Cotter, who have conducted pivotal research on peer mentorship as a valuable intervention for SCI recovery.

Throughout the conversation, we explore how peer mentorship helps SCI survivors regain independence, the role of community support in recovery, and the potential for integrative medicine to enhance quality of life for SCI patients. The guests share insights from their personal and professional journeys, discussing the challenges, triumphs, and transformative impact of peer mentorship. Together, they highlight the importance of holistic, community-based approaches to recovery and inspire a reimagining of what’s possible for SCI survivors.

Peer Mentorship in Spinal Cord Injury Recovery: Independence, Community, and Integrative Care

Dr. Allana Munro and Dr. Ronald George are two obstetric anesthesia experts whose research is focused on labor analgesia. Two years ago, they demonstrated that “achieving desired pain relief” is of utmost importance to our patients. The question remains: How can we safely achieve this while minimizing workload and side effects? In this episode, they discuss their study titled “An Innovative Approach to Determine Programmed Intermittent Epidural Bolus Pump Settings for Labor Analgesia: A Randomized Controlled Trial.” Using the response surface methodology, they identified optimal settings for the programmed intermittent epidural bolus pump (PIEB) that maximize maternal satisfaction, minimize clinician-administered boluses, and balance PCEA boluses delivered to those requested.
