  • 'An important thing to know is that most of the population is resilient to traumatic events'

    'An important thing to know is that most of the population is resilient to traumatic events'
    2025/08/13
    “We’ve been through a major trauma,” said Dr. Shiri Ben-David, chief psychologist at the Hadassah Medical Organization. She joins the newest episode of the Hadassah On Call podcast to discuss what trauma really is and how to help the people who are reeling from it.

    Trauma is an event that threatens someone’s life or body — either directly or through a loved one. It shouldn’t be used to label simply a “difficult time.” The psychological effects of trauma range from no effects at all to post-traumatic growth, in which people become strong and resilient, to strong symptoms, such as post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. Symptoms such as nightmares, irritability and flashbacks tend to occur within 48 to 72 hours after the traumatic event and are normal reactions.

    These should only last a few weeks. Any longer is a cause for concern. While researchers can’t agree on whether early intervention can prevent later deterioration, treatment is known to help give a person a sense of meaning and control.

    Dr. Ben-David admits that the availability of mental health resources in Israel is lacking, and it was even before October 7, 2023. “I don't think any nation has the resources to deal with such a wide range of traumatic events and patients, but since October 7, we've been putting a lot of effort into increasing our resources,” she said. “We are very much concerned that the trauma treatment will be evidence-based and will be related to the specific events and experiences that the person has been going through.”

  • Healing with AI: Hadassah’s Innovations in Cancer Detection and Treatment

    Healing with AI: Hadassah’s Innovations in Cancer Detection and Treatment
    2025/07/17
    On this episode of Hadassah On Call: New Frontiers in Medicine, we’re talking about two medical breakthroughs that are changing the face of cancer detection and treatment in Israel — and beyond.

    First, we explore the Vectra WB360, a cutting-edge digital mole mapping system newly installed at Hadassah and the only one of its kind in the Middle East. Dr. Rony Shreberk-Hassidim, a senior physician in the Department of Dermatology at the Hadassah Medical Organization, explains how this AI-enhanced machine utilizes 92 synchronized cameras to photograph the entire body in under a minute and then tracks changes in moles over time.

    “Early detection saves lives,” says Dr. Shreberk-Hassidim.

    “The software creates a full body map, flags suspicious lesions and helps us predict which moles could become cancerous.”

    Next, Prof. Aron Popovtzer, director of the Sharett Institute of Oncology at the Hadassah Medical Organization, introduces us to Hadassah’s new vertical proton therapy system, developed in partnership with Israeli startup P-Cure.

    Unlike traditional radiation, which often damages surrounding tissue, this approach minimizes toxicity by using the Bragg peak effect to target tumors precisely — and from a seated position. “It’s such a simple idea,” Prof. Popovtzer says.

    “Instead of rotating a giant radiation beam around the patient, we rotate the patient around the beam.” We also explore the future of personalized cancer treatment, combining liquid biopsies, tissue samples, and artificial intelligence to tailor therapy.

    Both guests agree the future is bright — but caution that ethical and clinical oversight must evolve alongside the technology.

    “AI will never replace the physician,” Dr. Shreberk-Hassidim says. “It assists — but the human context is still essential.”

    Plus, we touch on how war-related stress is impacting cancer rates and skin conditions in Israel today.

  • Colon cancer, gut grief and stool secrets

    Colon cancer, gut grief and stool secrets
    2024/08/21
    Poor nutrition, and poor gut health, are among the common indicators of serious health issues. Hadassah expert Dr. David Hakimian, senior gastroenterologist, discusses symptoms and much more.

    In the latest episode of Hadassah On Call, Dr. David Hakimian, a senior gastroenterologist at the Hadassah Medical Organization who specializes in clinical nutrition and bowel diseases, discusses nutrition habits and gut health. He says that your bowel movements can indicate serious health issues. Therefore, a big part of the role of gastroenterologists is to assess changes in bowel movements, such as changes in color and consistency, to detect potential health issues.

    According to Dr. Hakimian, persistent changes should be referred to a physician for proper evaluation. Dr. Hakimian also discusses the role of diet in more severe gut issues, including colon cancer. He says that obesity and an unhealthy diet in the United States may contribute to early colon cancer, while in Israel, a healthier Mediterranean diet may delay its onset.The doctor recommends eating whole foods to improve gut health and reduce symptoms.

    “Eat fresh food. Eat healthy food. Do not eat processed food,” says Dr. Hakimian. He also notes that new personalized and precision medicine methods are being used to target cancer cells while minimizing harm to healthy tissue. When it comes to new research, Dr. Hakimian says his team is working on investigating the potential transfer of inflammatory bowel disease from mothers to infants through the microbiome.

    That research may only be ready in a few years. However, the doctor says that if it is discovered that inflammatory bowel disease is physically transferred during birth, there may be ways to stop it.

    Are men or women more inclined to discuss their gut health with their doctors? When it comes to gas, diarrhea, bloating and other uncomfortable GI issues, the doctor admits that men are much more comfortable opening up about them.
