Born at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Eddy Gibbs was raised in Checotah by his mother. Only 10 when his father passed away, Gibbs felt a strong need to provide for the family.  After graduation from high school, he began installing fences in Tulsa, followed by apprenticeships in Kansas City, Missouri and Bakersfield, California to perfect the trade. He returned home to start his own company and, eight years later, began manufacturing fence products.  Ameristar became the largest ornamental fence manufacturer in the world. Upon sale of the company, with terms that the company remain in Oklahoma, Gibbs distributed a portion of the proceeds from the sale to employees as a token of appreciation.Close to his Owasso home, Gibbs' weekend retreat is northeast Oklahoma's Shangri-La Resort. After it fell into disrepair, he purchased the property and restored the resort's reputation, dramatically increasing tourism to the area and employment opportunities for local residents.          Listen to Eddy talk about his inventions, how 9/11 affected his business, and his huge donation to Rejoice school on the podcast and oral history website VoicesOfOklahoma.com.

Episode 191: Diagnosis of ADHDFuture Dr. Granat explains how to diagnose Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. She explained the influence of social media in increasing awareness of ADHD. Dr. Arreaza added input about the validated tools for ADHD diagnosis and highlighted the importance of expert evaluation for the diagnosis of this disorder.  Written by Yen Stephanie Granat, MSIV. Ross University School of Medicine. Comments and editing by 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.Steph: I love podcasts—many of us do—and if you, like me, spend any amount of your leisure time listening to podcasts, perusing the news, or scrolling social media; you've likely noticed an alarming trend in the number of discussions we seem to be having about ADHD. It has grown into a very hot topic over the past couple of years, and for some of us, it seems to have even begun sneaking into our “recommended videos” and across our news feeds! Naturally, for the average person this can spur questions like:“Do I have ADHD? Do we all have it? How can I be certain either way, and what do I do if I find myself relating to most of the symptoms that I'm seeing discussed?”Granted that there is a whirlpool of information circulating around this hot topic, I was hoping to spend a bit of time clearly outlining the disorder for anyone finding themselves curious. I believe that can best be achieved through outlining a clear, concise, and easy-to-understand definition of what ADHD is; outlining what it is not; and helping people sift through the fact and the fiction. As with many important things we see discussed on the internet, we're seeing is that there is much more fiction than fact. Arreaza: I'm so glad you chose this topic! I think it is challenging to find reliable information about complex topics like ADHD. Tik Tok, Instagram and Facebook are great social media platforms, but we have to admit that fake news have spread like a fire in recent years. So, if you, listener, are looking for reliable information about ADHD, you are in the right place. With ADHD, there aren't any obvious indicators, or rapid tests someone can take at home to give themselves a reliable “yes” or “no” test result. People's concerns with ADHD are valid, and important to address, so we will discuss the steps to identify some of signs and symptoms they are seeing on TikTok or their favorite podcaster. Steph: Healthcare anxiety is a vital factor to consider when it comes to large cultural conversations around our minds and bodies; so, I hope to sweep away some of the misconceptions and misinformation floating around about ADHD. In doing so, I want to help alleviate any stress or confusion for anyone finding themselves wondering if ADHD is impacting their lives! We might even be able to more accurately navigate these kinds of “viral topics” (for lack of a better term) next time we see them popping up on our news feeds.Arreaza: The first thing I want to say about ADHD is “the crumpled paper sign.”Steph: What is that?Arreaza: It is an undescribed sign of ADHD, I have noticed it, and it is anecdotal, not evidence based. When I walk into a room to see a pediatric patient, I have noticed that when the paper that covers the examination table is crumpled, most of the times it is because the pediatric patient is very active. Then I proceed to ask questions about ADHD and I have been right many times about the diagnosis. So, just an anecdote, remember the crumpled paper sign.  Steph: When you have patients coming to you asking for stimulants because they think they have ADHD, hopefully, after today, you can be better prepared to help those patients. So, for the average person—anyone wanting to be sure if this diagnosis applies to them—how can we really know?”Arreaza: So, let's talk about diagnosis.Steph: Yes, the clearest information we have is the DSM-5, which defines these disorders, as well as outlines the specific criteria (or “checkpoints”) one needs to meet to be able to have a formal diagnosis. However, this manual is best utilized by a trained professional—in this case, a physician—who can properly assess your signs and symptoms and give you a clear answer. Steph: ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is among the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. That is not to say it does not affect adult—it does—and because it can be easy to miss, it's very possible for someone to have ADHD without knowing. Arreaza: I recently learned that ADD is an outdated term. Some people with ADHD do not have hyperactivity but the term still applies to them. Steph: Yes, there are multiple types that I will explain in just a bit. But overall the disorder is most simply characterized by a significant degree of difficulty in paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors, or in being overly active in a way that the individual finds very difficult to control. (CDC)Arreaza: How common is ADHD?Steph: The most recently published data from The CDC estimates that 7 million (11.4%) of U.S. children between the ages of 3 and 17 have been diagnosed with ADHD. For adults, it is estimated that there are 15.5 million (6%) individuals in the U.S. who currently have ADHD. Arreaza: I suspected it would be more than that. [Anecdote about Boy Scout camp]. Steph: I totally agree. With short videos on TikTok, or paying high subscription fees to skip ads, it feels like as a society we all have a shorter attention span. Arreaza: Even churches are adapting to the new generation of believers: Shorter sermons and shorter lessons.Steph: When it comes to better understanding these numbers, it's also important to know that there are three distinct presentations of ADHD recognized by The CDC and The World Health Organization. Arreaza: The DSM-5 TR no longer uses the word “subtypes” for ADHD. Instead, it uses the word "presentation" to describe the different ways that ADHD may manifest in a person. That reminded me to update my old DSM-5 manual and I ordered it while reading today about ADHD. This means people with ADHD are no longer diagnosed as having a “subtype”. Instead, they are diagnosed with ADHD and a certain “presentation” of symptoms.Steph: These presentations are:Inattentive TypePeople often have difficulty planning or completing tasksThey find themselves easily distracted (especially when it comes to longer, focus-oriented tasks)They can often forget details and specifics, even with things that are part of their daily routineThis used to be referred to as “ADD” (you'll notice the absence of an “H”, segue).Hyperactive-Impulsive TypePeople often have a sense of intense “restlessness”, noticeable even in calm environments.They tend to be noticeably more talkative, and might often be seen interrupting others, or finishing their sentences.They find significant difficulty in being still for extended periods. Because of this, they are often unable to sit through a movie or class time, without fidgeting or getting up and moving around.With this category of ADHD, we often see an impulsiveness that unwittingly leads to risky behavior. Because of this, accidents and bodily injury are more common in individuals with this type of ADHD.Combined TypeThese are individuals who exhibit symptoms from both “Inattentive” and “Hyperactive-Impulsive” ADHD equally.Some listeners might have noticed that the categories are quite different, meaning that ADHD presents in different ways depending on the person! Two people who have ADHD can be in the same room and have vastly different presentations, whilst still having many of the same types of challenges. You also might have noticed what makes the discussion so interesting to the general public, which is also the thing that makes speaking to a professional to get formally tested so important:The diagnostic criteria rely heavily on patterns of behavior, or external variables; rather than on how a person might feel, or certain measurements taken from lab tests.Arreaza: Diagnosing ADHD requires evaluation by a professional who is properly trained for this. Fortunately, we have tools to assist with the diagnosis. The attention deficit must be noted in more than one major setting (e.g., social, academic, or occupational), that's why the information should be gathered from multiple sources, including parents, teachers, and other caregivers, using validated tools, such as:The Neuropsychiatric EEG-Based ADHD Assessment Aid (NEBA), recommended by the American Academy of NeurologyThe Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale (VADPRS) and the Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Teacher Rating Scale (VADTRS), recommended by the Society for Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics.For adults: The validated rating scales include the Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS) and the Conners Adult ADHD Rating Scales (CAARS).Steph: This is important because nearly everyone alive has experienced several, if not most, of these behavioral patterns at least once. Whether or not an individual has ADHD, I'm certain we could all think of moments we've had great difficulty focusing or sitting still. Perhaps some of us are incredibly forgetful, or act more impulsively than the average person might find typical. Getting a professional diagnosis is important because it is in skillfully assessing “the bigger picture” of a person's life, or their patterns of behavior, that a skilled physician, who understands the nuances and complexities in these disorders, can properly tell each of us whether we have ADHD, or not.Essentially, most of us could stand to use a bit more focus these days, but far fewer of us would meaningfully benefit from the kinds of treatments and therapies needed by individuals with ADHD to live healthier, more happy and regulated lives.Arreaza: I had a mother who came to discuss the results of the Vanderbilt Questionnaire. I think she left a little disappointed when she heard that, based on the responses from her and the teacher, her son did not have ADHD. Some kids may have behaviors such as being distracted during a meeting, forgetting about homework or having a lot of energy, but that does NOT mean necessarily that they have ADHD, right?Steph: Absolutely! The important thing to remember here is that these patterns of behavior outlined in the DSM-5 are merely an external gauge for a neurological reality. What the science is showing us is that the brains of people with ADHD are wired differently than that of the more “neurotypical” brain. Much like a check engine light would serve as a signal to a driver that something under the hood needs attention; these patterns of behavior, when they begin impeding our day to day lives, might tell us that it's time to see a professional (whether it be an auto mechanic or a trained physician). I think we all know someone who drives with their check engine light and not a care in the world. Arreaza: How serious/urgent is ADHD? Why should we care to make the diagnosis?Steph: Although we've yet to see anyone incur harm solely from having ADHD, it does lead to quite a range of more serious issues, some of which might prove more urgent. In the cases of ADHD, specifically, what we know is that there is a notable degree of dysregulation in some key neurotransmitters, like dopamine and norepinephrine. More plainly, what we are seeing in the brains of people with ADHD is a disruption, or alteration, of some of the brain's key chemicals.These neurotransmitters are largely responsible for much-needed processes like Motivation, Satisfaction, Focus, Impulse control, even things like energy and feelings of happiness. Many of these things serve as “fuel” for our day-to-day lives; things we'd call our “executive function”.  These are also what prove dysfunctional in those struggling with ADHD. It is in this sense that we might be able to bridge a meaningful gap between ADHD as being seen through patterns of behaviorthat signal a real, neurological reality.Steph: We often hear of the brain referenced as a kind of supercomputer. A more accurate assessment might be that the brain is more of a network of interconnected computers that run different processes and require continual communication with one another for our brain to function properly and seamlessly. What we're seeing in members of the population with this diagnosis, is a significant disruption in these lines of communication. Although this is a very broad oversimplification, for the purposes of our metaphor is to think of it like our brain chemicals getting caught in a traffic jam, or parts of our brain attempting to communicate to one another with poor cell signal. Arreaza: Making the diagnosis is critical to start treatment because having that level of dysfunction sounds like having a very difficult life.Steph: Yeah! I think that's why this conversation matters so much. There's a sense of urgency there, because much of life is, in fact, boring. Things like paying bills, exercising and eating well, work and school—these are all things that are vital to health and wellbeing in day-to-day life; and for the more neurotypical brain, these things might prove occasionally challenging. Yet, they are still doable. For those with ADHD however, this goes far beyond mere boredom or “laziness” (which proves to be a trigger term for many—more on that in just a bit).For folks listening, I wanted to offer some statistics that show why this is such a big concern for the public, whether one has a formal ADHD diagnosis or not. The facts are figures are:Children with ADHD are more than five times as likely as the child without ADHD to have major depression.A significant increase in the prevalence of anxiety is seen in ADHD patients, ranging from 15% to 35%, when accounting for overlap in symptoms.There are significant correlations in youth diagnosed with ADHD, and those diagnosed with what are known as “externalizing disorders”. These are things like Conduct Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, and Oppositional Defiant Disorder.We are seeing a much higher rate of academic problems in kids who have ADHD, like reading disorder, impaired verbal skills, and visual motor integration.We're finding that many, if not most, of these connections are being made after diagnosis. In the case of the “internalized disorders”, like depression and anxiety, we're often seeing years between ADHD diagnoses and the diagnoses of major depressive disorder or anxiety disorders. Given this framework, much of the data is theorized to point towards what we call “negative environmental circumstances”, otherwise known as “ADHD-related demoralization”.For children, this often looks like struggling with sitting still during class, failing to get homework done (because they forgot, or couldn't focus on the tasks at hand), and struggling to focus their attention on what their teacher is saying during lecture. These things often lead to bad grades, discipline or forced time sitting still in detention. This can be seen in more problems at home, with children being disciplined often for behavior that they struggle immensely to control.For adults, this can mean forgetting to pay your bills, missing work meetings, having trouble making appointments, or having difficulty with day-to-day tasks, really anything that requires sustained attention. We often see adults with ADHD who are chasing normalcy with caffeine addictions or even struggling with substance use. Arreaza: Substance use disorder actually can be a way for some people living with ADHD to self-treat their symptoms. Steph: These differences between the individual's experience and the world around them can lead to really powerful feelings of failure or inadequacy. They can affect your social life, your sense of community, and even further limit your capacity to seek help.Literacy in these things is so important—not just for the individual who feels that they may have ADHD, but also for those who are likely to encounter people with ADHD in their own lives. Understanding why some of these patterns pop up, even those who might not have a formal diagnosis, can go a long way to properly approaching these behaviors with success and with empathy.Arreaza: Learning about ADHD is fundamental for primary care doctors. We talked about the high prevalence and the influence of the media in increasing awareness and sometimes increasing public panic. So, we have to be prepared to diagnose or undiagnosed ADHD. Steph: Whether we're the physicians in the room, or the patient in the chair, I think it's important to have a clear understanding of what ADHD is and how it can affect lives.

Dr. Schlaerth added information about SPPE and told interesting stories of measles. Dr. Arreaza explained some statistics and histed the episode.  Written by Ashna Kapur MS4 Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Katherine Schlaerth, MD, 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.Introduction.According to the CDC, as of April 24, 2025, a total of 884 confirmed measles cases were reported by 30 states, including California, and notably Texas. This is already three times more cases than 2024. There are 3 confirmed deaths so far in the US. What is measles?Measles is a disease that's been around for centuries, nearly eradicated, yet still lingers in parts of the world due to declining vaccination rates. Let's refresh our knowledge about its epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, management, and most importantly — prevention.Definition.Measles, also known as rubeola, is an acute viral respiratory illness caused by the measles virus. It's a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus belonging to the Paramyxoviridae family. It's extremely contagious with a transmission rate of up to 90% among non-immune individuals when exposed to an infected person.EpidemiologyBefore the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963, nearly every child got measles by the time they were 15 years old. With the introduction of vaccination, cases and deaths caused by measles significantly declined. For example, in 2018, over 140,000 deaths were reported in the whole world, mostly among children under the age of 5.Measles is still a common disease in many countries, including in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Measles outbreaks have been reported recently in the UK, Israel, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, Ukraine, the Philippines, and more recently in the US. So, let's take prevention seriously to avoid the spread of this disease here at home and abroad. How do we get measles, Ashna?Mode of Transmission:● Air: Spread primarily through respiratory droplets.● Surfaces: The virus remains viable on surfaces or in the air for up to 2 hours. (so, if a person with measles was in a room and you enter the same room within 2 hours, you may still get measles)● Other people: Patients are contagious from 4 days before until 4 days after the rash appears.PathophysiologyThe measles virus first infects the respiratory epithelium, replicates, and then disseminates to the lymphatic system.It leads to transient but profound immunosuppression, which is why secondary infections are common. It affects the skin, respiratory tract, and sometimes the brain, leading to complications like pneumonia or encephalitis.Clinical PresentationThe classic presentation of measles can be remembered in three C's:● Cough● Coryza (runny nose)● ConjunctivitisCourse of Disease (3 Phases):1. Prodromal Phase (2-4 days)○ High fever (can peak at 104°F or 40°C)○ The 3 C's○ Koplik spots: Small white lesions on the buccal mucosa.2. Exanthem Phase○ Maculopapular rash begins on the face (especially around the hairline), then spreads from head to toe. The rash typically combines into 1 big mass as it spreads, and the fever often persists during the rash.3. Recovery Phase○ Rash fades in the same order it appeared.○ Patients remain at risk for complications during and after rash resolution.Complications:● Pneumonia (most common cause of death in children)● Otitis media (most common overall complication)● Encephalitis (can lead to permanent neurologic sequelae)● Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE): A rare, fatal, degenerative CNS disease that can occur years after measles infection.High-risk groups for severe disease include:● Infants and young children● Pregnant women● Immunocompromised individualsDiagnosisClinical diagnosis is sufficient if classic symptoms are present, especially in outbreak settings.Ashna: Laboratory confirmation:● Measles-specific IgM antibodies detected by serology.● RT-PCR from nasopharyngeal, throat, or urine samples.Notify public health authorities immediately upon suspicion or diagnosis of measles to limit spread. ManagementThere is no specific antiviral treatment for measles. Management is supportive:● Hydration (by mouth and only IV in case of severe dehydration)● Antipyretics (e.g., acetaminophen) for fever● Oxygen if hypoxicVitamin A supplementation:● Recommended for all children with acute measles, particularly in areas with high vitamin A deficiency. It has shown to reduce morbidity and mortality.Hospitalization may be necessary for:● Severe respiratory compromise● Dehydration● Neurologic complicationsPrevention: We live in perilous times and vaccination is under scrutiny right now. Before the measles vaccine, about 48,000 people were hospitalized and 400–500 people died in the United States every year. Measles was declared eradicated in the US in 2000, but the vaccination coverage is no longer 95%. How do we prevent measles?Vaccination is the cornerstone of prevention.● MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella):○ First dose at 12-15 months of age.○ Second dose at 4-6 years of age.○ 97% effective after 2 doses.The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has noted that febrile seizures typically occur 7 to 12 days after vaccination with MMR, with an estimated incidence of 3.3 to 8.7 per 10,000 doses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that febrile seizures following MMR vaccination are rare and not associated with any long-term effects. The risk of febrile seizures is higher when the MMR vaccine is administered as part of the combined MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella) vaccine compared to the MMR vaccine alone.Post-exposure prophylaxis:● MMR vaccine within 72 hours of exposure (if possible).● Immunoglobulin within 6 days for high-risk individuals (e.g., infants, pregnant women, immunocompromised).Herd immunity requires at least 95% vaccination coverage to prevent outbreaks.Key Takeaways● Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that can lead to severe complications.● Diagnosis is often clinical, but lab confirmation helps with public health tracking.● Treatment is mainly supportive, with Vitamin A playing a critical role in reducing complications.● Vaccination remains the most effective tool to eliminate measles worldwide.While measles might seem like a disease of the past, it can make a dangerous comeback without continued vigilance and vaccination efforts.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser.

The AgNet News Hour Hosts, Lorrie Boyer and Nick Papagni, the “Ag Meter,” discuss recent agricultural news, including weather patterns in the Central Valley, which may reach the 90s before dropping back to the 70s. Trade negotiations were a key topic, with Japan's uncertainty over reciprocal tariffs causing delays. The European Union is offering to increase U.S. goods purchases by over $50 billion, but faces potential tariffs totaling $100 billion if no deal is reached. China, recovering from an extended holiday, is expected to resume trade talks. Additionally, extreme weather conditions in China, including drought and excessive rain, are impacting crops. The segment concluded with an interview about Central Coast weather and disease management strategies for crops.   The second segment of AgNet News Hour opens with the hosts discussing the closure of the Farm Service Agency (FSA) office in Bakersfield, affecting 1,500 farmers who will need to travel to Lancaster or Visalia for services. The new administration aims to cut costs, saving billions. The segment also covered research at the University of California on modifying wheat to reduce gluten without affecting nutritional content, targeting the gliadin protein using gamma radiation. This could benefit those with celiac disease. The California Wheat Commission supports this research, which is currently focused on California but may expand nationally. The hosts also touched on the benefits of removing synthetic dyes from food.   In the final segment of today's AgNet News Hour Lorrie and Nick continue covering the new gluten-free wheat research from the University of California, which could expand nationally. Nick and Lorrie also highlight California's innovative agricultural technologies, such as automated systems and renewable energy projects. They addressed the challenges of startup funding and sustainability in new technologies. Governor Gavin Newsom awarded $29.3 million in tax credits to a hydrogen fuel facility in Lancaster and a port in Ventura County to improve logistics and supply chains. Additionally, California Dairies, Inc. opened a new 200,000 sq. ft. milk facility in Bakersfield, aiming to triple capacity and innovate milk products.

Tyler gives us the lowdown from the weekend's Pro racing, with Aussie rookie Pro Josh Jolly cleaning up and winning both days — even pulling 360s in the rollout. We also discuss who might pick him up. Can anyone in this struggling industry offer this kid a legit deal? And has anyone in Pro history ever rolled into the class and won like Jolly just did? We also cover double wins for Molly Simpson and Jeff Upshaw in Vet, highlight some of the riders on the podiums in the premier classes, and talk about the weather, Pro schedules, autograph sessions, and more.
