Episode 194: Acute low back pain.  Future Dr. Ibrahim presents a clinical case to explain the essential points in the evaluation of back pain.  Future Dr. Redden adds information about differentiating between a back strain and more serious diseases such as cancer, and Dr. Arreaza shares information about returning to work after back strain.Written by Michael Ibrahim, MSIV. Editing and comments by Jordan Redden, MSIV, and Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Dr. Arreaza:Welcome back, everyone. Today's topic is one that every primary care provider, emergency doctor, and even specialist sees routinely: low back pain. It's so common that studies estimate up to 80% of adults will experience it at some point in their lives. But despite how frequent it is, the challenge is to identify which cases are benign and which demand urgent attention.Jordan:Exactly. Low back pain is usually self-limiting and mechanical in nature, but we always need to keep an eye out for the rare but serious causes: things like infection, malignancy, or neurological compromise. That's why a good history and physical exam are our best tools right out of the gate.Michael:And to ground this in a real example, let me introduce a patient we saw recently. John is a 45-year-old warehouse worker who came in with two weeks of lower back pain that started after lifting a 50-lb box. He describes it as a dull, aching pain that radiates from his lower back down the posterior left thigh into the calf. He says it gets worse with bending or coughing, but he feels better when lying flat. He also mentioned some numbness in his left foot, but he denies any bowel or bladder issues. His vitals are completely normal. On exam, he had lumbar paraspinal tenderness, a positive straight leg-raise at 40 degrees on the left and decreased sensation in the L5 dermatome, though reflexes were still intact.Dr. Arreaza:That's a great case. Let's take a minute and talk about the straight leg raise test. This is a bedside tool we use to assess for lumbar nerve root irritation often caused by a herniated disc. ***Here's how it works: the patient lies supine, and you slowly raise their straight leg. If pain radiates below the knee between 30° and 70°, that suggests radiculopathy, especially involving the L5 or S1 nerve roots. Pain at higher angles is more likely due to hamstring tightness or mechanical strain.Michael:Right. So, stepping back: what do we mean by "low back pain"? Broadly, it's any pain localized to the lumbar spine, but it's often classified by type or cause:Mechanical (like muscle strain or degenerative disc disease), Radicular (nerve root involvement), Referred pain (like from pelvic or abdominal organs), Inflammatory (AS), and Systemic or serious causes like infection or malignancy. Jordan:In John's case, we're thinking radicular pain, most likely from a herniated disc compressing the L5 nerve root. That's supported by the dermatomal numbness, the leg pain, and that positive straight leg test.Dr. Arreaza:Good reasoning. Now, anytime we see back pain, our brains should run a checklist for red flags. These help us pick up more serious causes that require urgent attention. Let's run through the red flags.Michael:Sure. For fracture, we think about major trauma or even minor trauma in the elderly, especially those with osteoporosis or on chronic steroids. Also, anyone over 70 years old.Jordan:Then we have infections, which could include things like discitis, vertebral osteomyelitis, or epidural abscess. Red flags include fever, IV drug use, recent surgery, or immunosuppression.Michael:Malignancy is another critical one, especially if there's a history of breast, prostate, lung, kidney, or thyroid cancer. Clues include unexplained weight loss, night pain, or constant pain not relieved by rest.Jordan:And don't forget about inflammatory back pain, like ankylosing spondylitis, which is often seen in younger patients with morning stiffness that lasts more than 30 minutes and improves with activity.Dr. Arreaza:And of course, we always rule out cauda equina syndrome: a surgical emergency. That's urinary retention or incontinence, saddle anesthesia, bilateral leg weakness, or fecal incontinence. Missing this diagnosis can be catastrophic.Michael:Thankfully, in John's case, we don't see any red flags. His presentation is classic for uncomplicated lumbar radiculopathy. But we must stay vigilant, because sometimes patients don't offer up key symptoms unless we ask directly.Jordan:And that's where associated symptoms help guide us. For example:Radicular symptoms like numbness or weakness follow dermatomal patterns. Constitutional symptoms like fever or weight loss raise red flags. Bladder/bowel changes or saddle anesthesia raise alarms for cauda equina. Pain that wakes patients up at night might point to malignancy. Dr. Arreaza:So when do we order labs or imaging?Michael:Not right away. For most patients with acute low back pain, imaging is not needed unless they have red flags. If infection is suspected, we'd get CBC, ESR, and CRP. For cancer, maybe PSA or serum protein electrophoresis. And if inflammatory back disease is suspected, HLA-B27 can be helpful.Jordan:Yes, imaging should be delayed for at least six weeks unless red flags or significant neurologic deficits are present. When we do image, MRI is our go-to especially for suspected radiculopathy or cauda equina. X-rays can help if we're thinking about fractures, but they won't show soft tissue or nerve root issues.Michael:In the example from our case, since the patient doesn't have red flags, we'd go with conservative management: start NSAIDs and recommend activity modification. As this is the acute setting, physical therapy would not be recommended.Jordan:For the acute phase, research shows no serious difference between those with PT and those without in the long term. However, physical therapy is really the cornerstone of management for chronic back pain. It's not just movement: it's education, body mechanics, and teaching patients how to move safely. And PT can actually reduce opioid use, imaging, and injections down the line for patient struggling with long term back pain.Dr. Arreaza:Yes, and PT is not one-size-fits-all. PT might include McKenzie exercises, manual therapy, postural retraining, or even neuromuscular re-education. The goal is always to build core stability, promote healthy movement patterns, and reduce fear of motion.Jordan:Let's take a minute to talk about the McKenzie Method, a physical therapy approach used to treat lumbar disc herniation by identifying a specific movement, (often spinal extension) that reduces or centralizes pain. A common exercise is the prone press-up, (cobra pose for yoga fans) where the patient lies face down and pushes the upper body upward while keeping the hips on the floor to relieve pressure on the disc. These exercises should be done carefully, ideally under professional guidance, and discontinued if symptoms worsen.Michael:For our case patient, our working diagnosis is mechanical low back pain with L5 radiculopathy. No imaging needed now, no red flags. We'll treat conservatively and educate him about proper lifting, staying active, and recovery expectations.Jordan:We also emphasized to him that bed rest isn't helpful. In fact, bed rest can make things worse. Keeping active while avoiding heavy lifting for now is key.Dr. Arreaza:Return-to-work recommendations should be individualized. For example, an office worker, positioning while working, or work hours may be able to return to work promptly. However, those with physically demanding jobs may need light duty or be off work.Ice: no evidence of benefit. Heat: may reduce pain and disability in pain of less than 3 months, although the benefit was small and short.And we should always teach safe lifting techniques: bend at the knees, keep the load close, avoid twisting. It's basic knowledge, but it is very effective in preventing recurrence.Jordan:Now, if a patient fails to improve after 6 weeks of conservative therapy, or if they develop new neurologic deficits, that's when we think about referral to spine specialists or surgical consultation.Michael:And as previously mentioned: in cases where back pain becomes chronic (lasting more than 12 weeks) a multidisciplinary approach works best. That can include:Physical therapy, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) And sometimes pain management interventions. Jordan:We can't forget the psychological toll either. Chronic back pain is associated with depression, anxiety, and opioid dependence. Increased risk factors include obesity, smoking, sedentary lifestyle, and previous back injuries.Dr. Arreaza:Well said. So, let's summarize. Michael?Michael:Sure! Low back pain is common, and most cases are benign. But we have to know the red flags that point to serious pathology. A focused history and physical exam are more powerful than many people realize. And the first step in treatment is almost always conservative, with a strong emphasis on maintaining physical activity.Jordan:And don't underestimate the value of patient education. Helping patients understand their pain, set realistic expectations, and stay active is often just as important as the medications or therapies we offer.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Is There Really Pus in Milk? What does the “milk pus test” tell us about the U.S. milk supply? Dairy cows might normally live for about 20 years, but they are typically slaughtered for hamburger after they're just a few years old when they produce less milk and their profitability drops. But another leading cause of cow culling is mastitis––udder inflammation and infections––which affects 99.7 percent of all dairy operations in the United States.

In this episode, Tom Varghese, MD, FACS, is joined by Brett Johnson, MD, and Clifford Ko, MD, FACS, from the American College of Surgeons (ACS). They discuss the recent article by Drs Johnson and Ko, “Evaluating Outcomes of Initial Site Visits Across American College of Surgeons Accreditation Programs,” in which the authors found that ACS accreditation identifies significant gaps in hospital quality, with only 61% of hospitals passing on their initial attempt. However, most ultimately succeed after remediation. These findings highlight that ACS accreditation both validates hospitals meeting rigorous standards and drives quality improvement in those that initially fall short.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX The American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions kicks off in a week – we expect as always to get a lot of information! I'm not covering in person this year, but I'll bring you any big announcements. And we'll do a wrap up In the News the following week. -- XX UVA with something new.. technology that allows an artificial pancreas system to adapt to users' changing needs – and lets users adjust the settings – beyond what's commercially available now. They're calling this “adaptive biobehavioral control,” the technology helps fine-tune UVA's artificial pancreas every two weeks, giving users a virtual tool to test different ways to manage their blood sugar using their own data. In a six-month study, participants using the technology spent more time in a healthy blood-sugar range, rising from 72% to 77%, and saw a small but meaningful drop in their average blood-sugar levels. While automated insulin delivery systems help users better manage Type 1 diabetes, adaptive biobehavioral control technology is designed to improve blood-sugar control during the day, when fluctuations occur more frequently due to meals and physical activity. This new technology uses “digital twins,” computer models simulating how a person's body processes sugar. The models help the artificial pancreas keep up with changes in the user's body and habits and give users a way to interact with the system. For example, users can try different settings, like how much insulin is released overnight, using the simulation before applying them in real life. https://news.virginia.edu/content/uvas-artificial-pancreas-uses-digital-twin-tech-improve-diabetes-control XX Five years later after COVID-19 his the US, a new study shows that there is a connection with type 1 diabetes triggers. This is  new research from the University of Utah published in the journal ImmunoInformatics.   With T1D in particular, a COVID infection appears to trigger the immune system of certain people who have a prior susceptibility to the condition to subsequently develop T1D symptoms, the new study suggests.   University of Utah researchers hypothesize that COVID is leading to T1D diagnoses in a roundabout way as the virus presents the body with “molecular mimics,” or fragments of COVID proteins that bear an uncanny resemblance to those beta cell antigens.   When a person is infected with COVID, the immune system not only attacks fragments of the viral protein but also attacks fragments of beta cell antigens because they look so similar and get mistaken for each other, explains lead study author Julio Facelli, Ph.D., a distinguished professor of biomedical informatics at University of Utah Health in Salt Lake City. That means that in people who are already predisposed to T1D, there may be a simultaneous autoimmune reaction involving the destruction of healthy beta cells, spurring the onset of type 1 diabetes. Both 2022 and 2024 research indicates that there has been a significant increase in new onset type 1 diabetes following the start of the COVID pandemic. It's difficult to estimate just how many cases may have been triggered by COVID because numerous viruses, including rotavirus, measles, mumps, and rubella, can spark an autoimmune response that activates T1D, according to the 2022 research published in Immunology & Cell Biology.   Again, it's important to note that researchers don't believe a COVID infection is causing diabetes, but rather, triggering it, in the same way certain environmental factors are believed to trigger immune-mediated conditions like Crohn's and psoriasis. “   https://www.healthcentral.com/news/type-1-diabetes/how-covid-might-trigger-t1d XX Insulet announces the Omnipod® 5 App for iPhone is now compatible with the Dexcom G7. Eric Benjamin, Insulet Executive Vice President, Chief Product and Customer Experience Officer. “With the addition of the Dexcom G7 sensor to the Omnipod 5 App for iPhone, our U.S. customers have more choice with fewer devices to keep track of, making it easier than ever to manage their diabetes.” The Omnipod 5 App with Dexcom G7 and Dexcom G6 compatibility is now available for download on the Apple App Store. Switching to a new Omnipod 5 device will require you to go through First Time Setup again. Insulin delivery history from previous Pods will be lost when you switch to your new device and adaptivity will start over. Use this guide and video to help transfer your settings: Omnipod also announced a collaboration with Marvel.. on an original comic to celebrate representation for the diabetes community and empower people with diabetes to unleash their inner hero. “Dyasonic: Sound of Strength” features Omnya, who was recently diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, struggles with her management, and is prescribed an insulin pump. Omnya learns that when her glucose levels are in range she can take on anything, and anyone, and transforms into the comic's hero, Dyasonic! The hope is that readers will be able to see themselves overcoming these same challenges and break mental barriers to adopting technology with the potential for improved outcomes and quality of life. D'Spayre is a Marvel villain who preys on victims who are in despair, using their fear to strengthen himself—akin to the negative emotions that can come with diabetes. Insulet remains dedicated to advancing diabetes technology and improving the lives of people with diabetes. For more information, please visit https://www.omnipod.com/innovation. XX Tandem is the latest partner for Abbot's future Glucose-Ketone Sensor. New agreement to develop and commercialize integrated diabetes solutions that combine Abbott's future dual glucose-ketone sensor with Tandem's innovative insulin delivery systems to provide more options for people to manage their diabetes. The Abbott sensor, currently under development, will combine glucose and ketone sensing technology that aims to help people living with diabetes detect early ketone rise to avoid life-threatening diabetic ketoacidosis. Sequel Med Tech is also partnering with Abbott on this, as part of the twist pump, launching later this year. https://www.stocktitan.net/news/TNDM/tandem-diabetes-care-announces-agreement-with-abbott-for-integration-xl1vug3c0axy.html   XX New guidelines for the management of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes include tools clinicians can use to help patients stick to lifestyle interventions.   A panel of practitioners working in lifestyle medicine, including primary care physicians, cardiologists, endocrinologists, sleep experts, dietitians, and exercise medicine specialists, laid out six areas clinicians should help patients manage. These include sleep and stress, nutrition, physical activity, tobacco and alcohol, and social connection. The guidelines, released on June 10 by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), largely mirror lifestyle guidelines by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) but add specifics about how clinicians can help patients achieve their goals. Each patient should still receive tailored counseling, which may include medication   https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/new-guidelines-shift-diabetes-care-toward-behavior-2025a1000fht XX Microplastics from a widely used biodegradable material can enter the metabolic cycle of bacteria and cells in the gut after being ingested, a new study has found. Researchers in China and the United States said the microplastics – from polylactic acid – were found to alter the gut metabolism and damage the gut barrier of mice.   They said this could potentially contribute to conditions like inflammatory bowel disease and diabetes. In recent years, microplastics have been found in human lungs, kidneys, blood, placenta and breast milk.   https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3313412/microplastics-biodegradable-material-may-be-linked-diabetes-study-finds XX ​​Over 19,000 cases of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar are being recalled after the cans were found to contain full-sugar soda, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced. The voluntary recall, initiated May 23, affects 12-pack and 24-pack cases of the 12-ounce aluminum cans that are labeled “Dr Pepper Zero Sugar.” Despite the label, the drinks inside contain the same amount of sugar found in regular Dr Pepper — about 39 grams per can — posing a health risk for people with diabetes or anyone needing to limit sugar intake. On Thursday, June 5, the FDA officially classified the recall as Class II, meaning the product “may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences." DR PEPPER ZERO SUGAR - 12 OZ, 12 PK DR PEPPER ZERO SUGAR - 12 OZ, 12 PK.  Amazon Consumers can identify the recalled cases by the product code, which is listed as  XXXXRS05165, and the "best by" date of Feb. 16, 2026   No other Dr Pepper products or batches of Dr Pepper Zero Sugar are part of the recall. https://people.com/dr-pepper-recall-sugar-found-in-zero-sugar-cans-11750981     XX A step forward for a device that uses breath to gather information about blood sugar. It's called Isaac, the company is PreEvnt, you wear it on a lanyard and breathe into it. The breathalyzer technology was developed in collaboration with the Integrated Nanosystems Development Institute at IU Indianapolis, and was inspired by diabetes alert dogs. "Our lab was able to successfully identify the specific molecules in breath that correlate with hypoglycemia, which is the 'scent' that diabetic alert dogs can detect," said Mangilal Agarwal, director of the Integrated Nanosystems Development Institute and a professor in the IU Luddy School of Informatics, Computing and Engineering at IU Indianapolis. Agarwal's lab is partnering with the IU School of Medicine to test and validate the effectiveness of the device in individuals with diabetes—an important next step on the path to wider commercialization. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-06-breathalyzer-device-diabetes.html#google_vignette XX Katie Bone is back on American Ninja Warrior! The youngest ever American Ninja Warrior Women's National winner, she injured her knee at Olympic Climbing Trials in 2023. This week, she was back on the show. She says: Katie Bone: It was incredible. I've not been able to compete for a few years, so getting to come back and hit a buzzer on my first chance back on the course felt really, really incredible; Very rewarding after everything I had to go through to get back there.

Description As our knowledge and understanding of foot and ankle surgery expands and as new technologies and techniques continue to both develop and evolve there is a need for continued evolution in surgical training. The “ACFAS Fellowship Initiative” was a strategic undertaking championed by the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons beginning in 2010, with the primary goal of fostering environments of advanced training in foot and ankle surgery by establishing strict criteria for specialized post-residency training. Since 2010, there have been numerous additional fellowship programs that have added to an already flourishing post-graduate training environment. To date, there are more than 65 foot and ankle fellowships with ACFAS status, and many other programs applying for status each year. We look to the future of advanced training in foot and ankle surgery with cautious optimism, as the evolution of fellowship training presents its own unique set of benefits and challenges. Our panel will discuss the evolution of foot and ankle fellowship training, specifically since the initiation of the College's ‘Fellowship Recognition Initiative'. The panel will provide a review of the evolution of fellowship training as well as insight and carefully crafted opinions regarding the pros and cons of fellowship training and the fellowship initiative. Moderator Lauren Christie, DPM, AACFAS Panelists Christopher Berkelbach, DPM; John Kim DPM; Jacob Perkins, DPM

The journey between hospital departments can be the most dangerous part of a patient's perioperative experience. This eye-opening episode dives deep into the hidden risks of intra-hospital patient transport. We examine the current literature on transport safety with particular focus on the challenges faced by anesthesia professionals. The data is sobering — between 4-9% of transported patients require medical intervention due to transport-related complications. With increasing production pressure, decreased support personnel, and rising patient acuity, we ask the critical question: are we transporting patients safely?We break down transport-related adverse events into essential categories: respiratory, cardiovascular, neurological, and equipment-related. The 2023 I-TOUCH study provides valuable insights, showing cardiac events, respiratory complications, neurologic issues, and equipment problems as the most common challenges during transport. We explore how patient factors (age, illness severity, ventilation requirements) and system factors (transport duration, communication gaps, staff experience) contribute to these risks.Beyond patient safety, we discuss the often-overlooked physical risks to anesthesia professionals themselves, who report high rates of work-related musculoskeletal injuries from maneuvering heavy transport equipment while managing patient care. The good news? Evidence-based guidelines exist to mitigate these risks. Join us next week as we continue this crucial conversation with practical recommendations from the American College of Critical Care Medicine and the Society of Critical Care Medicine for safer perioperative patient transport.Have you experienced challenges during patient transport?

Episode 193: Gestational Diabetes IntroJesica Mendoza (OMSIII) describes the pathophysiology of gestational diabetes and the right timing and method of screening for it. Dr. Arreaza adds insight into the need for culturally-appropriate foods, such as vegetables in Mexican cuisine.    Written by Jesica Mendoza, OMSIII, Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific.

However, hPL readily crosses the placental barrier causing the mothers insulin requirement to increase, when the mother's pancreas cannot increase production of insulin to that level needed to counter the effect of hPL they become diabetic, and this leads to gestational diabetes. So, basically the placenta is asking for more glucose for the baby and the mother's pancreas struggles to keep the glucose level within normal limits in the body of the mother. If left untreated, high levels of glucose in the mother can cause glucotoxicity in the mother.“Glucotoxicity” refers to the toxic effect of glucose. Glucose is the main fuel for cell functions, but when it is high in the bloodstream, it causes toxicity to organs. Prevalence of GDM.The CDC reports mean prevenance of GDM is 6.9%. In U.S. mothers the prevenance increased from 6.0% in 2016 to 8.3% in 2021. Many different factors have played a role in increasing gestational diabetes in American mothers, some of those being the ongoing obesity epidemic with excess body weight being a known risk factor for insulin resistance. Another being advanced maternal age (AMA) as more American women have children later in life their body becomes less sensitive to insulin and requires a higher insulin output on top of the insulin that is required for the fetus. The “American diet” is also something that has a big effect in diabetes development. With the increase of high-carb foods that are readily available, the diet of Americans has declined and is affecting the metabolic health of mothers as they carry and deliver their children. Despite ongoing awareness of GDM, 6% to 9% of pregnant women in the United States are diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and the prevalence continues to increase worldwide. It is estimated that in 2017 18.4 million pregnancies were affected by GDM in the world, which then continued to increase to 1 in 6 births to women with GDM in 2019. It was also found that women living in low-income communities were disproportionately affected due to limited healthcare access. Additionally, women with GDM had a 1.4-fold increase in likelihood of undergoing a c-section, with 15% increase in risk of requiring blood transfusion. Screening for GDMGestational diabetes is screened between the 24th to 28th week of gestation in all women without known pregestational diabetes. In women who have high-risk for GDM the screening occurs during the first trimester, these women usually have at least one of the following: BMI > 30, prior history of GDM, known impaired glucose metabolism, and/or a strong family history of diabetes. The screening during the first trimester is to detect “pregestational diabetes” because we have to keep a good glycemic control to improve outcomes of pregnancy. So, if it's positive, you start treatment immediately. If these women are found to have a normal glucose, they repeat the testing again as done normally, at 24-28 weeks of gestation. How do we screen?The screening itself consists of two types of approaches. The two-step approach includes a 50-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), where blood glucose is measured in an hour and if it is below 140 they are considered to not have GDM, however if the reading is greater than 140 they must then do a 3-hour, 100g oral glucose tolerance test. The 3-hour OGTT includes measuring the blood sugars at Fasting which should be less than 95, at 1 hour at less than 180, at 2 hours at less than 155, and at 3 hours at less than 140. If 2 or more of these values exceed the threshold the patient is diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus. The one-step approach includes 75g after an overnight fast. Blood glucose is measured while fasting which should be less than 92, at 1 hour less than 180 and at 2 hours less than 153. If any one of these values is exceeded, the patient is diagnosed with GDM.If the mother is found to be GDM positive during pregnancy she will also need continued screening post-partum to monitor for any development of overt diabetes. The testing is usually 75g 2-hour OGTT at 6-12 weeks postpartum. If this testing is normal, then they are tested using HbA1c every 3 years. If the post-partum testing shows pre-diabetes, annual testing is recommended using HbA1c measurements. Maternal complications Women with GDM are at an increased risk for future cardiovascular disease, T2DM, and chronic kidney disease. GDM is also associated with increased likelihood of developing pre-eclampsia following delivery. Pre-eclampsia is a complication seen in pregnancy characterized by high blood pressure, proteinuria, vision changes, and liver involvement (high LFTs). Pre-eclampsia can then progress to eclampsia or HELLP syndrome, both of which can include end organ damage. Additionally, she can develop polyhydramnios which leads to overstretching of the uterus and can induce pre-term labor, placental abruption, and or uterine atony, all of which additionally put the mother at increased risk for c-section. All of these maternal complications that stem from GDM lead to complications and extended hospitalization. Child's complications Although there is an increased set of risks for the mother, the neonate can also develop a variety of risks due to the increased glucose while in utero. While the fetus is growing, the placenta is the source of nutrition for the fetus. As the levels of glucose in the mother increase so does the amount of glucose filtered through the placenta and into the fetal circulation. Over time the glucose leads to oxidative stress and inflammation with activation of TGF-b which leads to fibroblast activation and fibrosis of the placenta. This fibrosis decreases the nutrient and oxygen exchange for the fetus. As the fetus attempts to grow in this restrictive environment its development is affected. The fetus can develop IUGR (intrauterine growth restriction) leading to a small for gestation age newborn which can then lead to another set of complications. The low oxygen environment can lead to increased EPO production and polycythemia at birth which can then lead to increased clotting that can travel to the newborn brain. Newborns can also be born with fetal acidosis due to the anerobic metabolism and lactic acid buildup in fetal tissues which can cause fetal encephalopathy leading to cerebral palsy and developmental delay. And the most severe of newborn complications to gestational diabetes can lead to fetal demise. Furthermore, the increase of glucose can also lead to macrosomia in the infant which can often lead to a traumatic delivery and delivery complications such as shoulder dystocia and brachial plexus injury. Brachial plexus injury sometimes resolves without sequela, but other times can lead to permanent weakness or paralysis of the affected arm. The baby can be born too small or too big.Additionally, once the fetus is born the cutting of the umbilical cord leads to a rapid deceleration in blood glucose in the fetal circulation and hypoglycemic episodes can occur, that often lead to NICU admission. The insulin that is created by the fetus in utero to accommodate the large quantities of glucose is known to affect lung maturation as well. The insulin produced inhibits surfactant production in the fetus. Upon birth some of the newborns also have to be placed on PEEP for ventilation and some children require treatment with surfactant to prevent alveolar collapse and/or progression to NRDS created by the low surfactant levels. Additionally, neonates who are macrosomic, which is usually seen in GDM mothers, are larger and stronger and when put on PEEP to help increase ventilation the newborn's stronger respiratory effort can lead to higher pulmonary pressures and barotrauma such as neonatal pneumothorax.Long term complications to the child of a mother with GDM also occur. As the child grows, they are also at an increased risk for developing early onset obesity because of the increased adipose storage triggered by the increase in insulin in response to the high glucose in utero. This then can lead to a higher chance of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus in the child. With diabetes, also comes an increase in cardiovascular risk as the child ages and becomes an adult. The effects of GDM go beyond the fetal life but continue through adulthood.What can be done?Gestational Diabetes Mellitus has many severe and lifelong consequences for both the mother and the child and prevention of GDM would help enhance the quality of life of both. Many of the ways to prevent GDM complications include patient education and dietary modifications with a diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean proteins. Benefits of some vegetables in the Mexican cuisine that may be beneficial: Nopales, Chayote, and Jicama. Those are good alternatives for highly processed carbs.Mothers are usually offered nutritional counseling to help them develop a tailored eating plan. This and 30 minutes of moderate exercise daily is recommended to increase insulin sensitivity and lower the post-prandial glucose levels. If within 2 weeks of implementing lifestyle changes alone the glucose measurements remain high, then medications like insulin can be put onboard to manage the GDM. If they require insulin, I think it is time to refer to a higher level of care, if available, high risk OB clinic.Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number ###, “[TITLE].” [summary here]. _____________________References:Eades CE, Burrows KA, Andreeva R, Stansfield DR, Evans JM.

Michael Smerconish urges listeners to hit pause before casting a reflexive "no" vote on today's poll question at Smerconish.com, which asks: "Should U.S. colleges reduce foreign enrollment to better preserve American social mobility and promote national unity?" Drawing on a provocative New York Times essay by Princeton professor David Bell, he explores the complex trade-offs behind foreign student enrollment—from economic benefits and global prestige to issues of fairness, access, and national cohesion. Is it time to rebalance the system in favor of American students? Or is limiting foreign enrollment a mistake? Don't just vote—listen first. Then, head to Smerconish.com to cast your ballot.

Bird Flu: Emergence, Dangers, and Preventive Measures In the United States in January 2025 alone, approximately 20 million commercially-raised birds, mostly egg-laying hens, were affected by the highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1). These numbers are staggering yet barely scratch the surface of a potentially larger threat looming over the country. If action is not taken now, the next pandemic could be far deadlier than the 1918 influenza and COVID-19. Listen to today's episode written by Dr. Michael Greger at @NutritionFacts.org.
