Examining The Gap

In 2023, Quinta Brunson seemed to do the impossible by being the first Black woman to win the Emmy for Best Actress in a Comedy series since Isabella Sanford for the Jeffersons in 1981. Join the hosts of Brunch, Blaze & Babble, Roger Turner and Alexus Bertrand as they discuss the 42 year gap between Brunson and Sanford and the incredible Black Actresses that dominated television comedy but not the Emmys during that time.

Marvelous Nerd Sh!t

It seems as soon as the Marvel Cinematic Universe(MCU) started releasing projects for its phase 4, there was a growing narrative of anti-wokeness, misogyny, racism, and phobias downplaying these projects. Recently, those conversations have found their way to the new X-Men 97 series. Join the hosts of Brunch, Blaze & Babble, Roger Turner and Alexus Bertrand as they discuss the hypocrisy and BS of it all and make it clear what Children of the Atom actually stand for.

In this episode of AbbottTalks, Matthew Fishler, PhD, Chief Engineer & Senior Director, Product Development, Cardiac Rhythm Management at Abbott Cardiovascular, shares his experience helping to develop the revolutionary dual-chamber leadless pacemaker system, taking us through the significant challenges and triumphs of creating a device that ensures precise coordination between the heart’s atrial and ventricular chambers without traditional leads. 

Fishler recounts the meticulous development process, from initial concept testing using rudimentary "submarines" in saline tanks to achieving FDA approval. He highlights the deliberate approach taken to ensure safety and effectiveness, resulting in a device that now benefits patients with more comprehensive cardiac support. Lastly, he explains the innovative i2i communication technology, which uses electrical impulses to enable seamless device interaction, a concept likened to a “moonshot” due to its unprecedented nature.

Los Titulares de Hoy - 9 de agosto de 2024

In this episode of AbbottTalks, Jennifer Jones-McMeans, PhD, Divisional VP of Global Clinical Affairs at Abbott and Brian DeRubertis, MD, Chief, Division of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery at Weill Cornell Medical Center tackle the complexities of treating peripheral arterial disease (PAD) below the knee, particularly chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), a severe form of PAD that drastically impacts patients' quality of life and longevity.

In the episode, the two discuss Abbott's Esprit BTK System, the first-and-only FDA-approved drug-eluting resorbable scaffold for infrapopliteal CLTI. Dr. Jones-McMeans explains how Esprit BTK works by releasing a drug that prevents artery re-narrowing, crucial for maintaining sustained blood flow and promoting wound healing. 

Later, they walk us through the pivotal LIFE-BTK trial, a significant milestone that demonstrated Esprit's efficacy and led to its FDA approval. They also highlight the importance of including diverse patient populations in clinical trials, particularly those disproportionately affected by PAD, such as African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and women. This inclusive approach not only ensures the treatment's effectiveness across varied demographics but also sets a precedent for future trials.

In this episode of AbbottTalks, Sandra Lesenfants, SVP of Abbott’s structural heart business, discusses the latest advancements in structural heart care, focusing on Abbott's transformative TriClip device for tricuspid regurgitation.

Lesenfants highlights Abbott’s commitment to patient-centered innovation, emphasizing the importance of creating solutions that meet patients’ needs through safe and effective technologies. She also shares Abbott’s approach to expanding access to minimally invasive therapies, particularly in underserved populations worldwide, and the role of physician partnerships in advancing structural heart interventions.

In this episode of AbbottTalks, Kartik Sundareswaran, PhD, divisional VP, global clinical and regulatory affairs, Abbott Heart Failure, discusses Abbott’s pioneering work in heart failure care, focusing on technologies that improve outcomes and empower earlier interventions.

Sundareswaran’s path to MedTech began with a shift from computer engineering to biomedical research, where his early work studying blood flow patterns in children with congenital heart disease sparked a passion for solving cardiovascular challenges. This passion led him to roles at Thoratec, St. Jude Medical, and ultimately Abbott, where he has spent years advancing heart failure care.

The conversation highlights Abbott’s CardioMEMS™ Heart Failure System, a device enabling remote pulmonary artery pressure monitoring to reduce hospitalizations, and the HeartMate 3 LVAD, which provides life-extending support for patients with advanced heart failure. Sundareswaran also discusses the new TEAM-HF clinical trial, which combines CardioMEMS and HeartMate 3 to identify patients earlier and deliver timely, effective interventions.

"Life Is A Riddle" details a time when Steve Abbott befriended an eccentric elderly man with mental health issues who often interjected nonsensical phrases into our conversations. He found the man's quirks fascinating and inspiring, using them as the basis for the song. The song's lyrics are a mixture of these random phrases and his reflections on life's unpredictability, humour, and the need to embrace its complexities.

When curiosity killed the cat
His death never raised a brow
Yet somehow we mourned his loss
More than the cradle that broke the bough

If Elvis has left the building
Who the hell is the guy on the mic
Not quite a king more a pauper
But worth a dollar if you believe the hype

Hey diddle, diddle
Life is a riddle
There's an elephant in the room
The insane raise a smile
To see such fun
As they dance to a different tune

You can't judge a book by its cover
When the story mirrors your life
You've enjoyed the gore and the glory
Don't complain when they're twisting the knife

Between a rock and a hard place
Where indecision don't belong
The almighty is judge and jury
And you can't do right for doing wrong

Blindfolded tight, a twisted game
Fortune's wheel keeps turning the same
Pick a path, any path you choose
This tangled mess, there's nothing to lose
The mocking jester taps his drum
As the world spins on, oblivious, numb
So take a leap, don't overthink
Just dance to your beat, let your spirit sing

Hey diddle
Life is a riddle
There's an elephant in the room
The insane raise a smile
To see such fun
As they dance to a different tune

You can't judge a book by its cover
When the story mirrors your life
You've enjoyed the gore and the glory
Don't complain when they're twisting the knife

Between a rock and a hard place
Where indecision don't belong
The almighty is judge and jury
And you can't do right for doing wrong

Blindfolded tight, a twisted game
Fortune's wheel keeps turning the same
Pick a path, any path you choose
This tangled mess, there's nothing to lose
The mocking jester taps his drum
As the world spins on, oblivious, numb
So take a leap, don't overthink
Just dance to your beat, let your spirit sing

Hey diddle
Life is a riddle
There's an elephant in the room
The insane raise a smile
To see such fun
As they dance to a different tune

In this episode, we talk with Dr. Chris Davlantes about the evolution of blood tests to detect and risk stratify traumatic brain injuries. Over the last few years, we have seen tests emerge, but now have access to POC technology that may assist emergency physicians and others to get patients the care they need and avoid unnecessary imaging if possible. 

This episode was supported by Abbott Point of Care. 

The Evolution and Emergence of TBI Biomarkers with Dr. Chris Davlantes

"DIJA XEMXIJA" (Maltese for "radiant sunshine") is an uplifting, instrumental blend of Melodic House, Deep House, and spaced-out Melodic Techno — made to capture that sacred feeling when the sun finally returns after a long period of darkness.

I wrote this song in Malta, while escaping the harsh Hamburg winter in February. There, surrounded by spring air and 17–20°C warmth, I made some life-changing decisions. For the first time in a while, I could breathe differently, think clearly, and realign with what I truly want. It made me realize how deeply sunlight, warmth, and space can transform people, cities, and the paths we walk.

Musically, DIJA XEMXIJA is driven by a deep house rhythm, hypnotic bassline, and expansive synth leads and arps that evolve into a radiant escalation. It’s meant for sunlit dancefloors, reflective moments, and the quiet joy of standing still while feeling warmth on your face.

Perfect for fans of Ben Böhmer, NTO, Christian Löffler, Rodriguez Jr., and Lane 8.
I invite you to let this track be your soundtrack to gratitude, clarity, and the soft rebirth of spring <3

Stay Amazing.

FULL DISCLOSURE: For over 50 years I’ve been writing—poetry, plays, stories, and song lyrics—never imagining my words would one day become music. With no singing voice and only the barest guitar skills, I thought my songs would remain on the page. Then I discovered AI. I can transform my lyrics and melodies into fully produced tracks, finally sharing the music I always dreamed of. My songs are where a lifetime of storytelling meets the power of new technology—real stories, real passion, brought to life in a whole new way.
