Kathryn interviews Author Patricia Grayhall MD.In her debut memoir Patricia Grayhall MD shares her personal story for anyone who has ever lived the burden of being told their passions or ambitions are wrong. At 19, defying expectations of a woman growing up in Arizona in the 60s, she fled Phoenix for San Francisco, determined to finally come out as a lesbian after years of trying to be a “normal” girl. Her dream of becoming a physician drew her back to college, and then on to medical school in the conservative environment of Salt Lake City. Patricia longed for an equal loving relationship with a woman but her graduate medical training in Boston, with its emotional demands, long hours, lack of sleep, and social isolation, made finding that relationship difficult. Her memoir is a chronicle of coming of age during second wave feminism and striving to have both love and career as a gay medical doctor-finding them in the most surprising ways. She has published in Queer Forty and The Gay and Lesbian Review.Kathryn also interviews Dr. Richard Westreich.When Dr. Richard Westreich is not performing rhinoplasty, facial contouring or upper eyelid surgery at his NYC practice, he is pursuing his passion for music — and helping local artists along the way. His band, Big Rich Energy, is currently on tour in NYC and all of the band's proceeds go to charities that support local artists and music education. He also uses his music to draw attention to critical issues, such as gun violence. He's been selected multiple times by Castle Connolly and New York magazine as one of the top doctors in facial plastic surgery. Dr. Westreich also offers safety tips for those considering any cosmetic procedures which can improve chances of a better outcome. He is an assistant professor at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and is on staff at Lenox Hill and Mount Sinai Hospitals in NYC, where he can be seen regularly on the ABC, CBS, FOX and Newsmax networks.

Who were your mentors and what made that relationship special? Have you found your mentors formally or informally? How can you create a good formalized mentorship program? How do mentors effectively help their mentees find their career path? How do you create a good mentor/mentee relationship? How can those in the majority be allies to minority groups in medicine and science? How do you be comfortable saying “I don't know”? Quotes & Ideas: “Never stop looking for best practices” You can and should have different mentors for the various areas of your life (academic, career, social, spiritual, etc.) “Mentorship is someone with a particular knowledge or skills that shares them with someone else who does not have it on their own.” “A mentor does not always have to be older than you.” Identify OKR (objectives and key results) and set a time deadline for it “An ally is someone who builds a culture of inclusion” and “A leader is someone who betters the culture of those they lead”. Leaders need to be allies. “Are we better today than we were yesterday, and are we going to be better tomorrow than we were today and how do we achieve that.” “Diversity doesn't end because you hire the next diverse faculty. You have to make sure they thrive in their position.” “You don't know, doesn't necessarily mean you don't act.” “MD means make decisions.” “We are living in the greatest time in history.” “Seek your tribe members” Books Suggestions: The 4 Disciplines of Execution by Sean Covey Peter Drucker Start With Why by Simon Sinek Adam Grant

I didn't even know regenerative therapy existed as a specialty but it's actually been around for quite awhile as you will hear. Dr. Podesta injected PRP (platelet rich plasma) and hyaluronic acid into my knees in November of 2021 for preventative purposes. I've had 2 previous injections of hyaluronic acid only over the last several years (back in AZ) for lack of cartilage under my kneecaps giving me discomfort and swelling. Dr. Podesta is a nationally recognized regenerative orthopedic and sports medicine physician specializing in the non-surgical treatment of orthopedic, musculoskeletal and sports-related injuries to the shoulder, elbow, knee, and spine, and brings with him over 3 decades of experience on and off the field. Dr. Podesta continues to be selected by his peers as a Top Doctor by Castle Connolly since 2017. He is a pioneer in the field of Regenerative Medicine and Orthopedics, a growing medical subspecialty with treatments designed to stimulate the body's innate ability to naturally repair damaged tissue and heal itself, offering hope for individuals who are unable to or do not choose to undergo surgery. Dr. Podesta serves as a team physician for Southwest Florida's and the ECHL's Florida Everblades Hockey Team, and as a consultant to the Major League Baseball Umpires and World Baseball Classic. In 2008 Dr. Podesta established Podesta Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Institute in Thousand Oaks, California where he practiced for over 24 years. In 2015, he returned to Long Island as the director of sports medicine and regenerative orthopedics at St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson, NY.

Want a new you for the new year? The holidays are always a busy time for cosmetic procedures. Many people take advantage of unused vacation days, so they have plenty of time to heal from a procedure away from co-workers, and holiday bonuses can free up finances. Plus, it's exciting to think about starting a new year with a fresh look! Cosmetic procedures have been steadily rising thanks to the "Zoom Boom" caused by the pivot to virtual workplaces, and experts fully expect the trend to continue throughout the 2021 holidays and beyond. Web: www.newfaceny.com Follow: @newfaceny Doctors say breast augmentation and Brazilian Butt Lifts are the top surgeries being performed; however, liposuction, rhinoplasty, eyelid surgery and facelifts are also on the rise. Less invasive procedures like Botox injections also are skyrocketing. Experts say the Botulinum Toxin market jumped from a -8.6 percent slump in 2020 to a 4.7 percent increase this year, and it's still rising at an even faster pace. Lower facial nonsurgical procedures and lip treatments will continue to rise, and noses will stay strong. Body procedures are booming now that people are going out again. Top New York City plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Westreich offers the following tips for those considering cosmetic procedures: Tip 1: Make sure any doctor you schedule through a virtual visit allows you to cancel AFTER an in-person meeting for surgery. There is no substitute for face to face. Tip 2: Results over name recognition. Your outcome will not be better than what they post online. That's considered their best work. Tip 3: Don't rush. COVID-19 won't last forever, and you will have opportunities in the future that are different but workable. Make sure you're solid before moving on. Dr. Westreich says it's also very important that patients are vaccinated to stay healthy pre- and post-operation. “Although the average daily new COVID cases and deaths were recently declining, the new Delta variant mutations are far more dangerous. This has caused a recent uptick in test positivity rates and virus-related hospitalizations for the first time in months. Despite these alarming statistics, many are still opting to have these elective medical procedures and must take all of the necessary precautions.” More on Dr. Richard Westreich Dr. Richard Westreich graduated Magna Cum Laude with a B.A. in Biological Basis of Behavior, Neuroscience concentration in 1995 from the University of Pennsylvania.

WILLIAM STEFANI, MD: Breast cancer and plastic surgery – what you want to know

The Breast of Everything

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 19, 2021 31:48

During The Breast of Everything podcast, Comprehensive Breast Care Surgeon Eric Brown, MD; talked with Plastic Surgeon William Stefani, MD; about reconstructive surgery after breast surgery, and what women should know. Dr. Stefani is a board certified plastic surgeon who also completed a fellowship in aesthetic surgery. He has been voted “Top Doctor” many times by Hour Detroit magazine, Consumer Guide and Castle Connolly (an organization that helps consumers find top doctors and the best health care in America), and practices at some of Michigan's top ranked hospitals. Many years ago, women underwent a radical mastectomy with massive reconstruction of the chest wall with back flaps. Fortunately, this archaic technique has taken a revolutionary turn and has been replaced with a new procedure that truly has changed a woman's appearance … and her life. Today, surgeons will do everything in their power, not only to remove all of the cancer, but also to restore a woman's natural-looking breasts so she will have a cosmetic outcome that makes her feel and look great again.In many cases, a woman can have one reconstructive implant surgery, Dr. Stefani reports.The second option involves surgically implanting a tissue expander after the mastectomy, followed by a permanent implant at a later time. During the tissue expander surgery, the plastic surgeon expands the breast skin and muscle using a temporary tissue expander (an inflatable breast implant). A few months later, during the second surgery, the expander is removed and replaced by a breast implant. Dr. Stefani chooses the best option for his patients based on what he calls “mapping” of the breast to see what the tissue looks like after surgery, and to determine which procedure provides the safest and best results.During the podcast, Dr. Stefani also talked about animation deformity in breast reconstruction. To alleviate this problem, he performs a pre-pectoral reconstruction on top of the muscle instead of under it. This holds the implant in position better, there is no risk of the implant extruding through the incision and the outcome is “beautiful,” he reports. The breast looks natural, softer and it alleviates what he calls “animatory movement.”Dr. Stefani and Dr. Brown also discussed the importance of breast cancer patients quitting smoking at least six weeks prior to breast surgery. Smoking causes a tightening of the blood vessels that delays and decreases wound healing capabilities. The controversy regarding breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BI-ALCL) also was a topic of discussion. Social media has created an unnecessarily alarming concern for women with breast implants, the doctors find. BI-ALCL is very rare, generally very slow-moving, and affects only a small number of women who primarily have received textured implants, which Dr. Stefani does not use. Fewer than 10 patients a year are diagnosed with BI-ALCL, while there are more than 10 million women globally who have breast implants. The doctors also talked about breast implant-associated illness. This term describes a wide range of mostly mild and easily treatable symptoms that can develop from implants. __________________________________If you have a subject you would like the surgeons to discuss, please email your ideas to https://compbreastcare.com.

Prostate Cancer and Current Diagnostic Tools, Dr. Parra In American men, prostate cancer is only behind skin cancer as the most common form of cancer. Statistics showed in the U.S. there were about 164,690 new diagnoses of prostate cancer and about 29,430 death from prostate cancer in 2018. In their lifetime 1-9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and 1 in 41 of those diagnosed will succumb to complications related to the disease. The five-year survival rate for prostate cancer patients falls to 29% when prostate cancer metastasizes and spreads through the body. This staggering decline in survival rate highlights the serious disadvantages the NCCN recommended treatments have when trying to treat prostate cancer that has spread, become treatment-resistant, and recurrent. Prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, is a protein produced by normal, as well as malignant, cells of the prostate gland. The PSA test measures the level of PSA in a man’s blood. For this test, a blood sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis. Until about 2008, some doctors and professional organizations encouraged yearly PSA screening for men beginning at age 50. Some organizations recommended that men who are at higher risk of prostate cancer, including African American men and men whose father or brother had prostate cancer, begin screening at age 40 or 45. However, as more was learned about both the benefits and harms of prostate cancer screening, a number of organizations began to caution against routine population screening. Most organizations recommend that men who are considering PSA screening first discuss the risks and benefits with their doctors. PROSTATE IMAGING: a new horizon in early prostate cancer detection and treatment Recent advances in MRI, including Mp-MRI (“Multi-parametric” testing using a 3T scanner)imaging, have changed everything. The latest generation of MRI machines called 3 Tesla, or 3T machines, scan at a much higher resolution than the earlier machines. They enable radiologists to see all but the tiniest tumors. The tumors that they can’t see almost certainly don’t matter. MRI scanning for prostate cancer could also help a quarter of a million men, maybe up to half a million men a year, to avoid an unnecessary biopsy if the MRI is negative. Scanning the prostate in men with PSA elevation is a brand new approach that is more reliable than the old-fashioned method of using 12 random needle sticks. However, this claim is only accurate when using the very latest state-of-the-art MRI technology at approved centers. This technology is so new that finding doctors willing to abandon the old random needle biopsy approach is still a major challenge.

We interviewed two of the leading orthopedic surgeons in the country, Dr. Nikhil Verma and Dr. Jorge Chahla of Midwest Orthopedics at Rush to discuss biologics. Biologics like PRP, stem cells, corticosteroid injections, and hyaluronic acid are all the rage in medicine right now – and for good reason. Instead of having to reconstruct or repair damaged or torn tissues in the body through surgery, what if we could help relieve pain and improve function with a minimal invasion biologic injection? That is the promise of biologic injections. While significantly more research needs to be done to better understand how to best deliver biologics and what patients they may benefit the most, the future is very promising. As physical therapists, we will always be advocates of more conservative measures like physical therapy or biologic injections prior to more invasive options like surgery when warranted to potentially give our patients the upper hand in their rehab.

Epilepsy is a medical condition in which nerve cells in the brain now and then send out excessive electrical discharges, causing the episodes that are called seizures. Epilepsy affects over 2 million Americans of all ages. Seizures can range from an odd sensation in the stomach and a vague feeling of confusion to whole-body stiffness and jerky motions, depending on the way that the excessive electrical impulses affect the brain activity. Once the seizure runs its course, usually within seconds or a few minutes, the brain enters a recovery period and then returns to its normal function. About 65 percent of new epilepsy cases have no obvious cause. Of the rest, the more common reasons include stroke, congenital abnormalities (those we are born with), brain tumors, trauma, and infection. Doctors routinely search for the cause with testing such as MRI or blood studies. Cleveland Clinic's Epilepsy Center team diagnoses and treats more than 10,000 patients with epilepsy each year by delivering highly specialized care for adults and children in state-of-the-art facilities for evaluating patients for and performing epilepsy surgery. During this tour, Dr. Elaine Wyllie Pediatric Epilepsy Specialist at Cleveland Clinic will discuss: What exactly is epilepsy and what causes it? Weâ??ve heard that epilepsy is more common than some people think, affecting over 2 million Americans of all ages. What is the best treatment for this condition? You mentioned surgery as the best treatment. That almost sounds drastic. Shouldnâ??t brain surgery be a last resort? It still sounds a little frightening. How risky is the surgery? How do specialists determine whether a person will benefit from surgery? How can our listeners learn more about epilepsy surgery and what we spoke about here today? (clevelandclinic.org/epilepsy) INTERVIEW WITH: Dr. Elaine Wyllie, epilepsy specialist at Cleveland Clinic. Dr. Wyllie is certified by the American Boards of Pediatrics, Sleep Medicine, and Psychiatry and Neurology, with Special Competencies in Pediatric Neurology and Epilepsy.
