Contributor: Travis Barlock, MD Educational Pearls: Wheezing is classically heard in asthma and COPD, but it can be the result of a wide range of processes that cause airflow limitation Narrowed bronchioles lead to turbulent airflow → creates the wheezing Crackles (rales) suggest pulmonary edema which is often due to heart failure Approximately 35% of heart failure patients have bronchial edema, which can also produce wheezing COPD and heart failure can coexist in a patient, and both of these diseases can cause wheezing It's vital to differentiate whether the wheezing is due to the patient's COPD or their heart failure because the treatment differs Diagnosing wheezing due to heart failure (cardiac asthma): Symptoms: orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea Diagnostic tools: bedside ultrasound Treatment: diuresis and BiPAP for respiratory support Not all wheezing is asthma Consider heart failure in the differential and tailor treatment accordingly References 1.

Gynäkologische Praxis: Welche Patientinnen gegen Gürtelrose impfen? Prävention und damit auch Impfungen sind ein zentrales Thema in der gynäkologischen Praxis. Wann, welche Frauen gegen Gürtelrose geimpft werden sollten – darum geht es in der aktuellen Podcast-Folge „O-Ton Allgemeinmedizin Extra“ mit Dr. Stephan Lupp, Frauenärztliche Gemeinschaftspraxis, Bruchsal. Vor einer Chemotherapie an Herpes zoster denken Die Impfung gegen Gürtelrose wird von der STIKO generell für Menschen ab 60 Jahren empfohlen. Bei Personen mit einer chronischen Grunderkrankung wie z.B. Diabetes, Asthma oder einer chronisch-entzündlichen Darmerkrankung, sieht die STIKO die Impfung gegen Gürtelrose bereits ab einem Alter von 50 Jahren vor. Auch eine Chemotherapie schränkt die Immunabwehr der Betroffenen ein und erhöht das Risiko für eine Gürtelrose. Lupp rief deshalb dazu auf, bei Frauen, die z.B. wegen eines Mammakarzinoms eine Chemotherapie benötigen, unabhängig vom Alter an eine Impfung gegen Herpes zoster zu denken. Auf das Impfmanagement kommt es an Für einen vollständigen Impfschutz muss der Totimpfstoff gegen Herpes zoster zweimal im Abstand von zwei bis sechs Monaten verabreicht werden. Hier kann ein Erinnerungssystem – z.B. per Telefon, SMS oder E-Mail – hilfreich sein, um die Rate an vollständigen Impfungen zu verbessern.

Asthma is more prevalent in adult women than in adult men. Specifically, data from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) indicates that 9.7% of adult women had asthma, compared to 5.5% of adult men. This higher prevalence is observed across various racial and ethnic groups within the adult female population. At the end of April 2025, new population-level data was published (UK) describing an alarming association between progastrin only pills and asthma exacerbations. Is this a new finding? Recently, it seems that there has been a barrage of negative press towards progestin only contraceptives: depo provera and brain tumors, progestin releasing IUS and breast cancer, and the progestin IUS and rosacea. What is happening here?! We'll break it all down in this episode.

Today, host Rachel Stemerman sits down with two authors of a groundbreaking paper: Ira Harmon and Jennifer Fishe. Their research tackles a significant challenge in emergency medical services: accurately identifying prehospital pediatric asthma exacerbations from complex EMS data. Asthma exacerbations are a common reason for pediatric EMS encounters. Accurately identifying these encounters is crucial for research and quality improvement in prehospital care. However, the nature of asthma symptoms and EMS data makes this difficult. In this episode, Ira and Jennifer will discuss their study, which focused on developing computable phenotypes (CPs) – reusable computer queries that identify specific clinical events using electronic data. They evaluated existing rule-based CPs and developed new ones, including machine learning-based models, using a large dataset of pediatric EMS encounters. Tune in to learn more about this innovative approach to leveraging EMS data for better pediatric care. As always THANK YOU for listening.

Ein Interview mit dem Atemexperten Anders Olsson In dieser Folge spreche ich mit dem schwedischen Atemexperten Anders Olsson über die Kraft der bewussten Atmung. Er erzählt, wie ein Buch über Asthma sein Leben veränderte – obwohl er selbst nie an Asthma litt. Wir sprechen über den Unterschied zwischen Mund- und Nasenatmung und warum unsere Nase so viel mehr kann, als wir denken. Anders erklärt, welche zentrale Rolle Kohlenstoffdioxid (CO₂) in unserem Körper spielt und weshalb es keineswegs nur ein „Abfallprodukt“ ist. Besonders spannend finde ich seinen Ansatz zur CO₂-Therapie – ob durch Inhalation oder über die Haut. Wir erfahren auch, welche Rolle Atmung im Schlaf spielt und wie Mundatmung unsere Erholung stören kann. Anders teilt eindrucksvoll, wie Menschen durch bewusste Atmung und CO₂-Anwendungen ihre Gesundheit verbessern konnten. Mich hat besonders eine Geschichte aus Sri Lanka bewegt, in der eine Frau durch CO₂-Inhalation zu einem neuen Leben fand. Diese Folge ist ein Augenöffner – im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Viel Freude beim Zuhören!

Lisa Patel is a pediatrician and an expert in environmental health who says that pollution is taking an increasing toll on children's health. Pollution from wildfires, fossil fuels, and plastics can cause asthma, pneumonia, and risks dementia in the long-term. But, she says, all hope is not lost. Solutions range from DIY air filters to choosing induction stoves over gas, cutting down on meat consumption and plastics use, and pursuing clean energy, among other strategies.

A study of almost 250.000 people found people who vape had a far higher risk of getting Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, a serious, incurable disease that makes breathing difficult. Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ Chief Executive Letitia Harding spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

New research has confirmed there is an unmistakeable link between vaping and irreversible lung disease. The study published by Johns Hopkins University tracked 250,000 people - and discovered that e-cigarette use is associated with increased new diagnoses of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in New Zealand. Respiratory physician and Asthma and Respiratory Foundation adviser, Dr Stuart Jones, says it's been known that vaping comes with harmful side effects - but this study provides more concrete evidence about the damage. "The respiratory community aren't surprised at all that this result has come out - I guess it's what we've been warning about all along with the vaping that's been going on."

Contributor: Aaron Lessen, MD Educational Pearls: What is a Rescue Inhaler? A rescue inhaler is a medication for people with asthma to quickly reverse the symptoms of an asthma attack. Historically albuterol (Short Acting Beta Agonist (SABA)) monotherapy has been the mainstay rescue inhaler. This is because albuterol works fast and is relatively cheap. What are Combination Rescue Inhalers? Combination rescue inhalers contain a fast-acting bronchodilator as well as an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) The steroid helps to reduce some of the chronic airway inflammation that is worsening the asthma attack and can help to prevent future attacks Examples include budesonide-formoterol and albuterol-budesonide Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA), states that combination therapy is now the preferred reliever for adults and adolescents with mild asthma What are the drawbacks of Combination Rescue Inhalers? These inhalers are generally more expensive than just using a SABA inhaler which can be a barrier for some people Improper use can also lead to conditions like thrush due to the addition of the steroid References Krings JG, Beasley R.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 4-10-2025: Dr. Dawn responds to an email about difficult-to-control asthma, recommending quercetin and inhaled cromolyn as mast cell stabilizers, and suggesting Montelukast to address leukotrienes while investigating possible mold exposure as an underlying cause. She discusses groundbreaking research on age-related bone deterioration, explaining how osteocytes undergo structural changes with age, and exploring the concept of cellular senescence including potential treatments like quercetin/dasatinib combination therapy, fisetin, and metformin. A frequent caller with a history of sepsis, osteomyelitis and eye infections describes newly developed high blood pressure, with Dr. Dawn explaining how oxidative stress from infection can damage endothelial cells, reducing nitric oxide production and suggesting L-arginine, beet consumption, and proper blood pressure measurement techniques. Responding to an email about preventing cartilage loss, Dr. Dawn evaluates glucosamine sulfate research, noting key differences between effective and ineffective studies, while emphasizing the importance of achieving healthy body weight as a primary factor in preventing osteoarthritis progression. Dr. Dawn provides guidance to an email question about choosing a primary care physician before retirement, recommending selecting doctors established in their practice for 3-4 years and warning against Medicare Advantage plans that limit provider options. She addresses an email from someone experiencing persistent fatigue following Epstein-Barr virus reactivation, suggesting additional testing to confirm viral load through PCR rather than relying solely on antibody levels, while exploring alternative causes including long COVID, mold exposure, or autoimmune issues.

What if better health relied more on our environment than on doctors or medication? Elena Marks challenges conventional health care perspectives by emphasizing the non-medical drivers of health, like access to nutritious food and safe environments. Her work at the Baker Institute aims to reallocate health dollars towards these factors. Marks advocates for a system where investing in these areas takes precedence for better and cost-effective health outcomes. Key Questions Answered 1. What are non-medical drivers of health, and why are they considered to have a greater impact on health outcomes than medical care itself? 2. Can you tell us about the Baker Institute for Public Policy and your role there? 3. What are some of the focus areas within the Center for Health Policy at the Baker Institute? 4. How do programs like "Food is Medicine" work to address health outcomes? 5. Why is it more effective and cost-efficient to address environmental factors such as mold in asthma patients' homes rather than just providing medical treatment? 6. What is the status of Medicaid expansion in Texas, and what population does this currently exclude? 7. Who does get Medicaid in Texas, and how is that coverage limited? 8. How has the Affordable Care Act (ACA) affected health coverage in Texas, particularly for the uninsured? 9. What are some potential risks to the Affordable Care Act's benefits, such as enhanced subsidies and navigator funding? 10. Looking to the future, what does Elena Marks envision as a goal for a healthier healthcare system in the U.S.?
