РЕКЛАМА
On this episode of Advances in Care , host Erin Welsh and Dr. Craig Smith, Chair of the Department of Surgery and Surgeon-in-Chief at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia discuss the highlights of Dr. Smith’s 40+ year career as a cardiac surgeon and how the culture of Columbia has been a catalyst for innovation in cardiac care. Dr. Smith describes the excitement of helping to pioneer the institution’s heart transplant program in the 1980s, when it was just one of only three hospitals in the country practicing heart transplantation. Dr. Smith also explains how a unique collaboration with Columbia’s cardiology team led to the first of several groundbreaking trials, called PARTNER (Placement of AoRTic TraNscatheteR Valve), which paved the way for a monumental treatment for aortic stenosis — the most common heart valve disease that is lethal if left untreated. During the trial, Dr. Smith worked closely with Dr. Martin B. Leon, Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center and Chief Innovation Officer and the Director of the Cardiovascular Data Science Center for the Division of Cardiology. Their findings elevated TAVR, or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, to eventually become the gold-standard for aortic stenosis patients at all levels of illness severity and surgical risk. Today, an experienced team of specialists at Columbia treat TAVR patients with a combination of advancements including advanced replacement valve materials, three-dimensional and ECG imaging, and a personalized approach to cardiac care. Finally, Dr. Smith shares his thoughts on new frontiers of cardiac surgery, like the challenge of repairing the mitral and tricuspid valves, and the promising application of robotic surgery for complex, high-risk operations. He reflects on life after he retires from operating, and shares his observations of how NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia have evolved in the decades since he began his residency.

A swan is a beautiful bird that swims in the water. White swans are very common, but you don’t believe a black swan exists until you see one for yourself. The term Black Swan was popularized by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, a renowned professor, economist, and writer. Taleb initially introduced this concept to describe highly improbable events with massive implications in financial markets and later broadened its application to encompass historical, scientific, and other significant occurrences. Nobody sees the coming, and when they do, people say ‘oh, why didn’t we see this coming?’…

Today’s episode touches on trade, trends, and forecasts. Join me and learn 3 new words, and one useful expression. Visit EnglishforEconomists.com for show notes and course updates. Hello all you happy economists out there. This is Alan Robert, back with episode 81 of English for Economists. Listen to this headline closely, then I’ll discuss it. “WTO slashes world trade forecast as manufacturing slowdown bites” Listen again. Try to understand what the WTO expects for world trade, and why. “WTO slashes world trade forecast as manufacturing slowdown bites” It’s a great headline for us to work with, because there are not one, not two, but three valuable lessons you can learn. First things first, in case you don’t know, the WTO is the World Trade Organization, the organization which aims to facilitate and regulate international trade. So, what does the WTO expect for world trade? Do they think it will grow or reduce? The headline says the “WTO slashes world trade forecast”. To slash! Wow… that is a strong verb. It means to cut, but to really cut. You say the word ‘slash’ and I immediately think of someone swinging a long sharp sword. Maybe a soldier from the middle ages. Slash! You can slash forecasts, budgets, prices, all kinds of things. Great verb! So, why is the WTO slashing its forecast? Well, the headline says it's because ‘manufacturing slowdown bites’. Bites! That’s another strong word. Bite, like with your mouth and your teeth, like when you chew. So the manufacturing slowdown bites; the manufacturing slowdown is being felt. It is biting into into the world trade forecast. So, it looks like it’s going to be a tough year for world trade, which is unfortunate news for many countries. How about where you live? Will importers and exporters where you live ‘feel the pinch’ if global trade drops? If they ‘feel the pinch’, it means that they experience financial or economic hardship or strain. So, getting back to our story, The WTO now expects world trade volumes to grow by just 0.8% this year, down from a forecast of 1.7% in April. Growth is expected to pick up to 3.3% in 2024. The WTO says a slump in goods trade that began in the fourth quarter of 2022 is continuing, and hopes of a pick-up in demand have been crushed. As a result, trade is expected to grow more slowly than GDP this year but faster next year. “WTO slashes world trade forecast as manufacturing slowdown bites” Before finishing, here is the key vocabulary one last time. WTO: World Trade Organization To slash: To cut deeply. To reduce. To bite: It means the negative impact is being felt. Feel the pinch: That’s an idiom that means to experience financial or economic hardship or strain. https://www.theguardian.com/business/live/2023/oct/05/uk-cloud-computing-face-cometition-investigation-amazon-microsoft-bond-market-construction-business-live?page=with%3Ablock-651e58ec8f0880e74add5a2c Image thanks to: https://www.kingandcountry.com/slashing-sword-p-8115.html…
