THL-S2E2 Jack Hurwitz - AI discussion

THL - S2E6 Alan Segal, MD - FLOW

In this episode Alan and I discuss Flow.  We are all so caught up with PRESSURE (or driving force) that we miss the important fact that life is all about FLOW.  Alan does a great job helping understand the relationship of flow and driving force and how it applies to the kidney.  At the end he presents his novel electrical model of the Glomerulus to help us understand the regulation of glomerular hemodynamics in health and disease.

THL S2E5 Alan Segal, MD - Potassium

In this episode Alan is back to complete our physiology TRIFECTA by discussing potassium.  While talking about water and protons was a total blast on our previous podcasts, Potassium is really Alan's wheelhouse. I really enjoyed this podcast and although I've worked on potassium channels in Alan's lab and I've been in clinical nephrology practice for 20 years now I still walked away with new lessons that will impact how I practice medicine.  If you love potassium you will love this podcast!! Enjoy (don't forget to like and subscribe to THL)

THL - S2E4 Alan Segal, MD - Acid-Base

In this episode Alan and I have a great time as we discuss Acid-Base balance.    Once again he reviews what is probably one of the more challenging topics in physiology and makes it fun.  I really enjoyed this discussion especially regarding renal tubular acidosis and the various etiologies.  Be sure to check out this discussion on my youtube channel (The Hurwitz Lab), to see Alan's excellent slides during the discussion.

THL - S2E3 Alan Segal, MD MSEE on Salt and Water

In this episode I speak with my nephrology mentor Dr. Alan Segal.  We focused this discussion on the topic of TONICITY disorders and understanding the physiology of water homeostasis in health and disease.  If you've been confused by hyponatremia then you will really enjoy this discussion.  Alan had slides and also presents his 2021 ASN poster (hot off the press)  on a non-linear correction for [Na] in the setting of hyperglycemia.  Enjoy!!

THL-S2E2 Jack Hurwitz - AI discussion

In this episode I interviewed Jack Hurwitz (my oldest son) who is a graduate student in computer science with focus on AI.  We had a discussion about AI - past, present and future.  Thanks Jack!
