What's the problem with antibiotics anyway? On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared passionately answers this question. There is no antibiotic that doesn't cause harm. That's not to say they don't have their place, but as Jared explains, they are almost never necessary and almost always prescribed for common problems like UTI's and sinus infections. You'll learn why many infections don't need, and won't respond to antibiotics, the ramifications of even a single dose of antibiotics, and how antibiotic superbugs are a real problem. Jared delves into why antibiotics are overused, side effects of particularly dangerous forms, and the effects on mental health and the immune system. This show will be followed with one on antibiotic alternatives and ways to rebuild your microbiome after antibiotic exposure.Additional Information:#264: Emotional Vitality: Jen's Story Part 1 - From Addiction and Mental Illness to Vitality#266: Prescribing Poisons Part 2.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions: Samantha: Hi Doctor Cabral,My 76-year-old father recently underwent a diagnosis of bladder polyps, which will be removed surgically. Fortunately, they appear to be benign. I'm interested in learning about preventive measures to reduce the risk of future occurrences. Thank you for your time and expertise. Anonymous: Hi Dr C,i have an odd problem that the doctors Ive been seeing havent been to answer yet. Around Sept. 2023, I noticed fast and dramatic changes to what seems like muscle tonality around my brows. My brows now look receded, flat and less prominent. My nose seems a bit more bulbous. I originally thought that my hollowing was due to a unilateral ptosis repair & upper bleph I got in April 2023, but after speaking with many surgeons, this would not be the case as the loss is on both eyes. The only thing I can say is that I started eating meat again in September 2023 after not eating meat for around 3 or 4 years prior. This is the only change I made to my diet. I stopped eating meat for 2.5 weeks and my brow position seems a bit improved, not sure, but it hasnt helped the volume loss. Thx Lauren: Hi Dr. Cabral! I am signing up to be an IHP & taking your program. I am very excited. But I do have a question for you regarding my own health. I have a heart condition that presents as “SVT”. I have had this since 7th grade and have done every test under the sun but my original cardiologist said he wanted to put me on depression meds. (Lost lots of confidence in doctors bc I am not depressed. This was 8 years ago). Question is: can I heal my heart? I have stopped smoking weed, barely drink caffeine, & eat pretty clean (organic etc). Do you have an advice or have you worked with anyone dealing with this? I am 29. Don't want any meds, surgery or a pacemaker. I want the natural route. These episodes happen every 1-3 months. A hiccup usually triggers it, bending over or jumping. Thank you!!! Marlyse:I'm 5 ft 7 in, weigh 124 lb. I was recently diagnosed with a 40 mm ascending aortic aneurysm found through a scan. I exercise regularly, est a mostly clean diet, don't smoke, have low cholesterol and have low blood pressure. I haven't been able to find anything on what I can do to help this besides surgery and I'm wondering if you have any suggestions. Thank you much Dr cabral. Lindsey: Hi Dr Cabral. Thank you for all you do. My mom has neuropathy in her legs. She is pre diabetic. Any advice on what she should be doing or taking? She also has sleeping issues. Gets about 4 hours a night. I'm sure that doesn't help.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.04.21.537806v1?rss=1 Authors: Kumarswamy, R., Ravi, A. B. Abstract: Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAAs) are asymptomatic vascular diseases with life threatening outcomes. Smooth-muscle cell (SMC) dysfunction plays an important role in AAA development. The contributions of non-coding genome, specifically the role of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in SMC dysfunction are relatively unexplored. We investigated the role of lncRNA TUG1 in the pathology of AAA. TUG1 was identified through lncRNA profiling in Angiotensin-II (Ang-II) treated SMCs. TUG1 was upregulated in Ang-II treated SMCs in vitro and its expression increased with progression of aneurysm in mouse model of Ang-II induced AAA. Ang-II induced TUG1 was blunted by inhibition of Notch signaling and TUG1 is demonstrated to be a transcriptional target of Notch. AAA tissues exhibited inversely correlated expression of TUG1 and SMC contractile markers. TUG1 knock-down via siRNA/shRNA increased SMC differentiation. ChIP, DNA-RNA IP, and RNA-IP experiments demonstrated that TUG1 interacts with transcriptional repressor KLF4 and aides in its recruitment to Myocardin promoter, thereby repressing SMC differentiation. In summary, we show a novel role for lncRNA TUG1 in Ang-II induced AAA wherein it modulates SMC differentiation via KLF4-Myocardin axis. Copy rights belong to original authors.

*Trigger Warning* : This story contains a maternal and fetal near-miss. This is part 1 of 3.Nicolette, a Labor & Delivery Nurse, from Virginia shares her first and second birth stories. Ten years ago, she had her first child. When she was 6 months old, she decided to become a L&D nurse.Ten years later, she and her husband decided to have another child and quickly got pregnant. During her second trimester, she had a strange feeling that she was going to die during childbirth. She started following birth trauma Instagram accounts and shared this with her OB. She planned her induction to have her son on her dad's birthday. She went in for her induction and was pampered by her L&D nurse co-workers all night. The next morning things took a drastic turn as she collapsed and couldn't talk. Her life was flashing before her eyes and she knew she had to fight to save her and her son's lives. The medical team scrambled to find out what was happening to Nicolette as they prepped her for an emergency c-section. She had suffered a splenic artery aneurysm. Splenic artery aneurysm (SAA) is a rare but potentially fatal condition. Rupture results in 25% mortality up to 75% in pregnant women with 95% fetal mortality. Tune in to hear Nicolette's story.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.02.21.529372v1?rss=1 Authors: Han, Y., Liu, Y., Tian, X., Zhang, X., Liu, D., Yan, C. Abstract: Aortic aneurysm (AA) is a potentially fatal disease with the possibility of rupture, causing high mortality rates with no effective drugs for the treatment of AA. The mechanism of AA, as well as its therapeutic potential to inhibit aneurysm expansion, has been minimally explored. Small non-coding RNA (miRNAs and miRs) is emerging as a new fundamental regulator of gene expression. This study aimed to explore the role and mechanism of miR-193a-5p in abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). In AAA vascular tissue and Angiotensin II (Ang II)-treated vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), the expression of miR-193a-5 was determined using real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR). Western blotting was used to detect the effects of miR-193a-5p on PCNA, CCND1, CCNE1, and CXCR4. To detect the effect of miR-193a-5p on the proliferation and migration of VSMCs, CCK-8, and EdU immunostaining, flow cytometry, wound healing, and Transwell Chamber analysis were performed. In vitro results suggest that overexpression of miR-193a-5p inhibited the proliferation and migration of VSMCs, and its inhibition aggravated their proliferation and migration.

B., Wong, D., Zhaolong, L., Wissmueller, M., Gnatzy-Feik, L., Zierden, M., Mehrkens, D., Adam, M., Zhao, X., Odenthal, M., Sengle, G., Boor, P., Maegdefessel, L., Baldus, S., Rosenkranz, S. Abstract: Background: Catalytic class IA PI 3-kinase isoform p110alpha is a crucial regulator of cellular proliferation and survival in numerous cell types. While p110alpha is critically involved in pathogenic vascular remodeling, its physiological role for vascular integrity under stress conditions has not been studied. We report a protective function of smooth muscle p110alpha against abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) formation. Methods & Results: In mice lacking p110alpha in smooth muscle cells (sm-p110alpha-/-), perfusion of the infrarenal aorta with porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) yielded substantially enhanced AAA formation compared to wild type controls. This disease phenotype is partly attributable to a subtle preexisting vascular phenotype under basal conditions, as sm-p110alpha-/- mice displayed a smaller media area, deranged aortic wall structure (detached smooth muscle cells, increased apoptotic cell death), and a diminished functional responsiveness of aortic rings to vasodilators. Furthermore, p110alpha is also implicated in regenerative processes during AAA development: Whereas wild type mice showed increased media hypertrophy, neointima formation and proliferation upon PPE intervention, these vascular remodeling processes were diminished in sm-p110alpha-/- mice. Concomitantly, increased numbers of elastic fiber breaks and ECM degradation were detected in sm-p110alpha-/- aorta. Mechanistically, we found that lack of p110alpha expression impaired smooth muscle cell proliferation, expression of contractile marker genes and production of elastin fibers. This phenotype largely depended on reduced phosphorylation and inactivation of FOXO1, as specific FOXO1 inhibition fully rescued proliferation of p110alpha-/- smooth muscle cells, and knockdown of FOXO1 increased expression of calponin and elastin. Conclusions: Smooth muscle p110alpha protects against AAA disease by maintaining aortic wall homoeostasis and promoting SMC proliferation to compensate for cell loss during AAA development. Our findings have potential implications for current approaches aimed at p110alpha inhibition for cancer therapy and suggest new pharmacological strategies to activate p110alpha signaling in AAA disease.

Cardiac Consult: A Cleveland Clinic Podcast for Healthcare Professionals
There are many different treatment options for patients with aortic aneurysms. Dr. Sean Lyden, Chairman of Vascular Surgery, and Dr. Francis Caputo, Vascular Surgery Director, Aorta Center, discuss considerations and options to ensure patients are receiving appropriate treatment. The Vascular Surgery Department at Cleveland Clinic offers expertise in multiple treatment options and a focus on collaborative care.
The aorta is the body's main artery that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body. The aorta can become damaged and weak, causing it to become wider that is should. This is called an aneurysm. When this happens, there are a few different treatment options. Dr. Sean Lyden, Chairman of Vascular Surgery, and Dr. Francis Caputo, Vascular Surgery Director, Aorta Center, discuss how they decide to manage an aneurysm and ensure patients are receiving the best possible treatment. The Vascular Surgery Department at Cleveland Clinic offers expertise in multiple treatment options and focuses on collaborative care.

A new project from Christian Finnegan.
the thing about RCT is they are random and everything is equal. its why in table one of an RCT you should never see a pvalue because they are random and should be equal but in observational studies you see pvalues because it is not equal, it can’t be, its not random. In observational studies you try to account for all the confounders but you just cant ever make it equal to an RCT but lets look a look at observational data using a real world example. I will start with a question—is there an association between fluoroquinolone use and aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection (AA/AD).? You might say well in dec 2018 the FDA issued a warning recommending avoiding fluoroquinolone use in patients with AA/AD or who are at risk for these conditions But that was not the question I asked – I said “is there an association between c use and aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection (AA/AD).?” The answer is ‘it depends’—clearly seen in recent issue of JAMA Internal Medicine one paper – we willl call study number 1 titled “Association of Infections and Use of Fluoroquinolones With the Risk of Aortic Aneurysm or Aortic Dissection” found “Fluoroquinolones were not associated with an increased AA/AD risk when compared with combined amoxicillin-clavulanate or combined ampicillin-sulbactam (OR, 1.01; 95% CI, 0.82-1.24) or with extended-spectrum cephalosporins (OR, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.70-1.11) among patients with indicated infections” And another study in the same journal we will call study number 2 titled “Association of Fluoroquinolones With the Risk of Aortic Aneurysm or Aortic Dissection” found a small, risk for AA/AD when comparing fluoroquinolones with azithromycin for pneumonia, but no association when comparing fluoroquinolones with TMP/sulfa for urinary tract infection. AHHH SO WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN you ask!!!!! Well in the second study when they did a secondary analysis and limited the analysis to patients who had imaging studies the risk of AA/AD disappeared. Suggesting there was surveillance bias. Surveillance bias refers to the idea that “the more you look, the more you find.” When you get more test you find more things. For example hospital number 1 uses 1000 covid test a day and hospital two uses 1 covid test a day. Both hospitals see the same number of patients. Can you say that hospital one has more cases of covid?? Of course not, they just have a surviellance bias.. Similarly Also sicker patients who happen to get a flouroquinolone are also more likely to get a CT of their abd/pelvis which reveals aortic disease. An incidental findings that only comes about when you are sick and also happen to be placed on antibiotics. But lets go back to study number 1- the one that found no increaes risk of aortic disease when comparing flouroquinelones to other antibiotics—likely it is because they included only patients with what they termed indicated infections. This would suggest that likely it is not the antibiotic causing the AA/AD it is the illness! It is the confounders that cant be accounted for in any oberservational data set, AA/AD are not more common with flouroquinolones but unfortuneately sicker patients are both more likely to be prescribed fluoroquinolones and severe illness just also happens to be a risk for AA/AD So I ask you again, “is there an association between fluoroquinolone use and aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection (AA/AD).?” The full answer is it depends on the secenaro, it depeds on the bias, it depends on the cofounders. It just depends https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamadermatology/fullarticle/2769109 Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has issued an update on recommendations regarding HPV vaccination. Approx.. 33700 HPV caused cancers annually in the US One big problem with the data is only 8% of the studied participants are male—we basically are doing this in female and then translating the information to men which is not always the best, for example statins do not work in women to prevent heart attacks when you look at some group analysis, they help prevent strokes but not heart attacks, the numbers don’t always translate when you are crossing the gender barrier Few important points to this new update Catch-up vaccination is now recommended for all persons through age 26 years. Did get it as a kid, you can get it now, call me mustard cause when it comes to vaccines it is time to katchup ACIP recommends routine vaccination at age 11 or 12 years (or as early as age 9 years) for all persons.— regardless of prior or current HPV infection status.!!! ACIP continues to recommend age-based dosing schedules, with 2 doses for persons beginning HPV vaccination at ages 9 through 14 years and 3 doses for persons beginning after age 14 years or persons who are immunocompromised. https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-4298 what if I told you that intensive blood pressure control is not associated with incrase risk of orthostatic hypotension Effects of Intensive Blood Pressure Treatment on Orthostatic Hypotension A Systematic Review and Individual Participant–based Meta-analysis Annals of internal medicine Researchers examined five trials, with a total of 18466 participants and 127,000 follow up visits to examine the effects of intensive BP-lowering treatment on OH in hypertensive adults. As with all meta analysis the inclusion criteria of the studies did differ on what they call intensive therapy. But in the end intensive bp treatment lowered yes it actually LOWERed the risk for OH (OR .93 with 95% CI 0.86-0.99) I read this and I though no way does Intensive BP-lowering treatment decreases risk for OH. And the authors say ‘well long term or chronic hypertension can throw off many of your regulatory mechanisms, and so there for you throw off these mechanism with poor blood pressure and that is what causes the OH not the actual lower number, it is the uncontrolled bp’ and maybe they are right, that is for the ivory towers to decide I could not wrap my mind around this but then I stumbled upon it—OH does NOT mean falls. OH does not mean syncopal episodes. In this study OH only means a decrease of 20 mm Hg or more in systolic BP or 10 mm Hg or more in diastolic BP after changing position from seated to standing. This is again a surrogate marker- I don’t care if you number changes briefly if you feel fine The paper even says that the Data on falls and syncope was not available. The patient oriented outcome I care about was not available!! This is a headline paper that likely doesn’t say what you think that it says. THIS IS A LAB VALUE that grabs the headline and makes you think well intensive control actually leads to less falls or less syncopal episodes when in actually this paper just say intensive control just mean less changing of a bp number! WHICH makes sense— if you start at a lower number you have a lot less ability to change! Think about this for one second --One person in intensive control has a bp of 120 and they stand to a bp of 110 while the other person in the not intensive control arm has a bp of 130 and they stand up and the bp falls to 110--- both of those people standing have a bp of 110, the exact same bp!!!!! but one droped 20 points and is diagnosed with OH and the other is told they are normal. This next article falls into the quickest summary I have every given on a paper and it is in The Lancet Rheumatology. Titled How How long does a shoulder replacement last? A systematic review and meta-analysis of case series and national registry reports with more than 10 years of follow-up ---which comes from the same authors that last year gave us How long does a hip replacement last? A systematic review and meta-analysis of case series and national registry reports with more than 15 years of follow-up https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanrhe/article/PIIS2665-9913(20)30226-5/fulltext And the famous How long does a knee replacement last? A systematic review and meta-analysis of case series and national registry reports with more than 15 years of follow-up Now use their same massive database to try and answer the question how long does a shoulder replacement last and the answer is at least 10 years for most everyone. It didn’t matter if you were having humeral hemiarthroplasties, osteoarthritis with reverse total shoulder replacement, or a rotator cuff arthropathy with reverse total shoulder replacement it appears at 10 yrs approximately 90% of shoulder replacements were doing well with sustained clinical benefit. If your patients needs a new shoulder—tell them the good news is it will likely last at least 10 yrs And that was a fast summary but lets do one more--- https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2769724?guestAccessKey=75076244-d788-4a4f-ba64-2eee4284fd70&utm_source=silverchair&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=article_alert-jama&utm_content=etoc&utm_term=082520 Effect of Vitamin D3 Supplementation on Severe Asthma Exacerbations in Children With Asthma and Low Vitamin D LevelsThe VDKA Randomized Clinical Trial 192 children with persistent asthma and low vitamin D level ----if you gave them vit d did you improve the time to next severe asthma exacerbation , In this randomized double-blind, clinical trial were put on either placebo or vitamin D3, 4000 IU/d The most simple answer is…..no. there was no difference between placebo and vit d

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently released another warning for fluoroquinolones, this time regarding aortic dissection and aneurysm. We review the evidence behind this warning, including the following studies: Lee CC Risk of Aortic Dissection and Aortic Aneurysm in Patients Taking Oral Fluoroquinolone. JAMA Intern Med. 2015;175(11):1839-47. Lee CC Oral Fluoroquinolone and the Risk of Aortic Dissection. J Am Coll Cardiol. 2018;72(12):1369-1378. Pasternak B Fluoroquinolone use and risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection: nationwide cohort study. BMJ. 2018;360:k678. We then review the ACEP clinical policy on aortic dissection covering risk scores, d-dimers, and management of aortic dissection Thanks for listening! Jeremy Faust and Lauren Westafer
Dr. Holm and Joan Hogan discuss various medical issues
Clarity behind recent headlines linking cancer to pills for high blood pressure; Margaret McCartney unpicks the numbers. And the aorta is the largest artery in the body so should it burst due to an abdominal aortic aneurysm, results can be catastrophic. Now Surgeons are concerned that restricting the use of the latest keyhole techniques to repair aneurysms would be a backward step and harm patients. Plus how sinks could be causing hospital infections.
