In today's episode, we delve into the world of PET scans and other imaging modalities crucial for accurate diagnosis and staging of breast cancer. We are joined by two incredible guests: Dr. Kiser, the Medical Director of Molecular Imaging for Carilion Clinic, and Pam Kohl, a patient advocate living with metastatic breast cancer.Dr. Kiser provides an in-depth explanation of PET scans, particularly focusing on FDG and FES (also known as Cerianna) PET scans. FDG-PET scans use radioactive glucose to highlight cancerous tissues, while FES-PET scans target estrogen receptors, making them highly specific for ER-positive breast cancer. Dr. Kiser emphasizes the revolutionary impact of these imaging techniques in both diagnostics and therapeutics.Pam shares her personal experience with breast cancer, highlighting the importance of advocating for oneself. Diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer in 2009, Pam experienced a recurrence in 2017, which led to a stage 4 metastatic diagnosis. Her story underscores the critical role of PET scans in detecting metastasis early and informing effective treatment plans. Pam's experience with FES-PET scans has been particularly transformative, allowing her medical team to tailor her treatment precisely to her cancer's characteristics.SURVIVINGBREASTCANCER.ORGAttend a free virtual SurvivingBreastCancer.org event:https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/eventsFollow us on InstagramSurvivingBreastCancer.org: https://www.survivingbreastcancer.org/Breast Cancer Conversations: https://www.instagram.com/breastcancerconversations/About SurvivingBreastCancer.org: SurvivingBreastCancer.org, Inc.

The reinvention of a Virginia city built by railway robber barons as a biotech hub defies default strategies of trying to attract new players to do what was done by the companies that left or closed. The story of Roanoke shares the cover of the rebooted print edition of Governing magazine* with a feature on what states are doing to increase the availability and affordability of housing.Governing Editor Alan Greenblatt discusses the magazine's return to print after five years of being web-only. Greenblatt emphasizes the value of a physical magazine for high-level government officials, providing in-depth analysis and innovative ideas on pressing issues. The magazine aims to offer a thoughtful and lasting resource that readers can reference on their desks, offering a break from the overwhelming flood of web-based information.The cover stories feature Roanoke's successful transition to biotech and the growing concern of housing shortages addressed by state policymakers.Here are the takeaways from this episode: SHOW NOTES Solving the Economic Development Puzzle: Roanoke, Va., faced economic hardship when two Fortune 500 companies closed their headquarters. It was situation familiar to many communities that have lost major employers, leading to prolonged efforts to rebuild. However, Roanoke chose a different path. The city went all in on biotech, leveraging existing resources like Carilion Clinic and a new medical school from Virginia Tech. The shift resulted in a thriving biotech research institute that grew from one to over 500 employees.Shift in State Involvement in Housing: States are increasingly recognizing the widespread need for affordable and quality housing, leading them to take a more active role previously reserved for local governments.Zoning Policy Reform: States are reconsidering zoning policies, traditionally a local concern, as a factor contributing to housing cost increases and supply constraints. They are exploring changes to zoning laws to encourage more diverse housing options: West Coast: States like Oregon, Washington and California are permitting multifamily buildings in single-family areas to increase housing density. East Coast: Pennsylvania's Whole-Home Repairs policy offers grants to homeowners for essential repairs, aiming to preserve existing housing stock. Meanwhile, Rhode Island explores a public developer model, inspired by Montgomery County, Md., to build mixed-income housing. Mountain West: Colorado purposefully introduced multiple housing reform bills with overlapping coalitions to build a broad base of support for legislative change. It has also taken administrative action to reduce turnaround for permitting and eliminate mandatory parking. Colorado took a page from what worked in Montana, which pursued policies that require cities to allow duplexes and accessory dwelling units in single-family areas to address housing affordability and supply issues. While zoning policy reform may address higher housing costs associated with restrictive zoning, it doesn't necessarily lead to immediate cost reduction. Importance of Transit Proximity: Progressive lawmakers recognize the benefits of building dense housing near transit hubs to reduce car dependency and improve efficiency in moving people.The issue also covers the turnover among school superintendents, citizenship for American Indians, city lobbying and the impact of clean energy credits.

Don't try to impress me with big words Speak so I understand you Episode 172 (Gary is based in North Carolina) In this conversation with Gary Simonds we explore: Recognizing the language of your profession and expertise The challenge that language creates for your patients, clients, colleagues Speaking to be clearly understood is not brain surgery How clear understanding builds trust How an analogy can help convey the message  The damage when we assume that we speak the same language How ego of an expert can interfere with clear communication Are you aware of how many different technical languages you speak? Why you need to check with your audience on their understanding The power of analogy, simile and clichés Why you need to be prepared for how you present the message About our guest Gary Simonds: Gary is a neurosurgeon who created and developed a university-level neurosurgery department and residency training program at Virginia Tech and the Carilion Clinic in Virginia. He has written three non-fiction books and a a recently released novel, Death's Pale Flag, focusing on professional burnout and building personal resilience. Learn more about his books at https://garyrsimonds.com/ ----- Excerpts from this conversation with Gary Simonds: And quite often, you know, people would be there nodding as if everybody understood you would leave the room and they go, what the heck did they just tell us? ----- I think it also helps, after delivering your intended message to ask them specifically, what do you understand about what I've been telling you? What do you understand about the problem right now or the issue right now. And you can be really shocked sometimes, because you may think I've just made it as clear as can be. And they come back with something that is in no way close to what your message was. So then you're going to have to refine it and readdress it and repeat it. And Gary, I can see that same a similar scenario playing out in a meeting room. Perhaps the the president of the company, or maybe the VP of engineering has come in and explained a project or a problem. And simply believe that because they explained it for themselves that everyone in the room understands. And perhaps that's a good time to go to the room and saying, Who here would like to tell me what your understanding is of what I just said? And if anyone's brave enough to go and say that, then that leader might find that they didn't get across their message? I absolutely thinks that you have to have been in those scenarios, haven't you, George? Very much. So yes. And and there are times and I admit there were times when I was reluctant to speak up? Because I didn't want to be the only person that I thought who didn't understand. And so you're not going to say I didn't understand, please explain it to me, because you're you're the junior guy. Right? And you don't want to be the one person with and yet you look around the room and you notice that nobody else is getting it. ----- ----more---- Your host is George Torok George is a specialist in executive communication skills.

Like any company, nonprofits have salaries and bills to pay, a budget to balance. They require money. And if enough people don't know about them, don't believe in them, don't support them — in short, if they lack BUZZ — they suffer and die.

Episode 87: Latent TB Infection.  By Mariana Gomez, MD (Romulo Gallegos University School of Medicine, Carillion Clinic Infectious Disease), and Hector Arreaza, MD (Romulo Gallegos University School of Medicine, Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program). Dr. Gomez explains how to screen for and treat Latent TB infection. Today is March 18, 2022.Dr. Mariana Gomez graduated from medical school at the Romulo Gallegos University in Venezuela. She completed her residency in Internal Medicine in St Barnabas Hospital, which is affiliated with the Albert Einstein School of Medicine, Bronx, New York. She then completed a fellowship in Infectious Diseases at Carilion Clinic, which is affiliated with Virginia Tech School of Medicine. She currently works in Virginia, United States.  This is Rio Bravo qWeek, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California. Our program is affiliated with UCLA, and it's sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. Some questions discussed during this episode: Who should be screened for latent TB infection? A CDC questionnaire can determine the risk for latent TB infection. Some patients who may be screened are those who resided for 1 month in a country with high TB prevalence, those who are currently immunosuppressed or planning immunosuppression in the near future (50 mg of prednisone or equivalent a day for 1 month), and those who had close contact with patients with TB infection (Latent Tuberculosis Infection: A Guide for Primary Health Care Providers (cdc.gov)). The USPSTF recommends screening for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) in populations at increased risk.Screening Tests: Currently, there are two types of screening tests for LTBI in the United States: the tuberculin skin test (TST, also known as PPD) and the Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA, brand names QuantiFERON®-TB and T-SPOT®.TB). The TST requires intradermal placement of purified protein derivative and interpretation of response 48 to 72 hours later. The induration is measured in millimeters. The induration is the palpable, raised, hardened area or swelling, not the erythema.IGRA requires a single venous blood sample, and the result is obtained in 1-2 days. Two types of IGRAs are currently approved by the US Food and Drug Administration: T-SPOT.TB (Oxford Immunotec Global) and QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube (Qiagen). The CDC recommends screening with either test (TST or IGRA) but not both. IGRAs is preferred for patients who received a BCG vaccine (bacille Calmette–Guérin) or if they are unlikely to return for TST interpretation.Why should we screen for LTBI? How can we decide between Questionnaire only vs PPD vs QuantiFERON Gold? What is the next step in assessing asymptomatic individuals with positive PPD?A useful resource is the online TST/IGRA Interpreter (tstin3d.com). You can calculate the risk of latent TB infection and the risk of INH-induced hepatitis. How can we decide to treat LTBI? What are the recommended regimens? CDC recommends three preferred regimens. These are chosen for effectiveness, safety, and high treatment completion rates. These regimens are rifamycin-based. They are:INH+rifapentine for 3 months: once-weekly isoniazid plus rifapentine for adults and children older than age 2, regardless of HIV status.Rifampin for 4 months: daily rifampin.INH+rifampin for 3 months: daily isoniazid plus rifampin. ____________________________Now we conclude our episode number 86 “Latent TB Infection.” Dr. Gomez taught us how to screen and treat latent TB infections. Remember to screen only those who are at risk of TB infection. Once you get a positive screen test, select the patients who will receive treatment of LTBI to prevent reactivation of TB infection. You have at least 4 regimens to treat LTBI. The regimens that include rifamycin are recommended by the CDC. Even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek.
