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.

An important topic presented by Moosaa Richardson at al-Masjid al-Awwal in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (USA) on 1446.03.04. For a transcript of this lecture and additional resources: https://www.bakkah.net/en/the-importance-of-aqeedah-creed-by-shaykh-ibn-baaz.htm
Moosaa Richardson responds to some of the recent nonsense coming from Dr. Tahir Wyatt during a Friday khutbah delivered at the "United Muslim Masjid" in Philadelphia (may Allah be gracious to its people and guide them away from such harmful misguidance). The khutbah, entitled: "Standing for Justice: Muslim Youth Are the Present!" was delivered on the 24th of Shawwaal, 1445 (May 3, 2024). In it, Dr. Tahir states about Muslim protesters involved in non-Muslim politcal activities in non-Muslim lands, at the time of Jumu'ah itself very near from the masjid, not attending Jumu'ah , claiming about such people: "As if Allah -'azza wa jalla'- is using them to show us what tawakkul looks like, what resiliance looks like, in front of our own eyes..." He said this about Muslims whom he described as "up the street, where we have Muslims in an encampment, up the street from us right now, at the University of Pennsylvania..." This khutbah is replete with misguidance, including Quranic Verses in praise of true believers being twisted and misapplied to these sinfully negligent Muslims, missing Jumu'ah without any valid excuse! Instead of admonishing them for neglecting one of their most essential duties as Muslims and directing them to repent and rectify their affair, he encourages them and praises them, even applying many Verses of Quranic praise to them specifically! This shows that Dr. Tahir's obsession with non-Muslim politics overtakes his most basic duties of reminding Muslims about essenital religious obligations. Be warned, and do not be a blind follower, deluded by fluffy academic qualifications!…
