Have you heard the saying “research is me-search”? It means people often explore topics they personally need or want to understand better. Well, that's exactly what today's episode is for me. I've had migraines since I was a teenager, and after being diagnosed with ADHD a couple of years ago, I started noticing how closely the two seem to be connected. Conversations with clients, colleagues, and other people I know showed me that I'm not alone. It seems like many people who have ADHD also deal with migraines. I started researching to find out if there is a connection between migraines and ADHD, and it turns out, there is! I connected with Dr. Sarah Cheyette to learn more. Dr. Cheyette is a pediatric neurologist who specializes in both ADHD and migraines. Dr. Cheyette graduated from Princeton University and received her medical degree at UCLA. Following specialty training in pediatrics at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and in pediatric neurology at Seattle Children's Hospital, she practiced at Palo Alto Medical Foundation. She now owns a private practice in northern California. Today, she brings her insight into how these two conditions overlap. In our conversation, we talk about what migraines are, why migraines happen, how they're triggered, and—most importantly—what we can actually do about them - both to prevent and treat. Dr. Cheyette shares strategies for tracking headaches, making small but meaningful lifestyle changes, how to make sure you're doing the right things and taking the right meds to manage these debilitating headaches. Whether you live with both ADHD and migraines, or you're supporting someone who does, I hope you'll find this episode informative and validating.

Hosts Mitsuaki Sawano, MD, and Regional Associate Editor Nobuhiro Ikemura, MD, welcome Takashi Ikenouchi, MD, a physician scientist at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Smidt Heart Institute, to discuss the headline-grabbing “Gold Card” sale and a novel approach to atrial fibrillation: an embryological classification of arrhythmogenic triggers. While pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) remains the cornerstone of AF ablation, up to 30% of triggers originate outside the pulmonary veins, contributing to recurrence and suboptimal outcomes. As PVI outcomes begin to plateau, this embryology-informed framework—categorizing triggers into common pulmonary vein, sinus venosus, and primitive atrium origins—offers a path toward more personalized and precise AF therapies.

Words from Dr. Kadar: I am the Cedars-Sinai doctor who became a Cedars-Sinai patient when I unexpectedly had an episode of chest pain. Despite all I knew about heart disease, my first reaction was all too normal—denial. But I got over that, and ten days later, I was having open-heart surgery for a condition known as the “widow maker.” I wrote Getting Better to help people facing a medical crisis (and their loved ones) navigate the road to recovery. I learned a lot from my time as an open-heart surgery patient, and would like others to benefit from my experience. I graduated from Yale Medical School, completed my residency at Stanford and Harvard Universities (Massachusetts General Hospital), and was working as an anesthesiologist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where I routinely took care of cardiac patients. I got the shock of my life when I suddenly went from doctor to patient. I had always been in great health and had expected that to continue for a long time. I was familiar with illness denial and the symptoms of coronary artery disease. Despite that, I went into denial when I first experienced symptoms. After my diagnosis, I expected to recover in record time from my surgery. That didn't turn out so well either, since I experienced several complications. My eventual recovery is an encouraging story.

Kairos Pharma CEO John Yu joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share major updates on the company's latest cancer research developments. A significant milestone in its academic partnership with Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has been achieved, as Cedars-Sinai secured $600,000 in funding from the Department of Defense's Lung Cancer Research Program. This grant will accelerate work on an innovative therapy designed to address chemotherapy resistance and cachexia—a severe condition causing muscle loss and weight depletion in cancer patients. The funding will support efforts to develop a first-in-class treatment aimed at counteracting muscle atrophy, improving physical strength, and enhancing the effectiveness of existing cancer therapies. By targeting key biological pathways linked to cachexia, this therapy could provide much-needed support for cancer patients striving to maintain their health and resilience throughout treatment. In a further expansion of its clinical initiatives, Kairos Pharma has added the prestigious Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah, as a new site for its ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating an advanced antibody therapy for castrate-resistant prostate cancer. This trial, backed by both Kairos Pharma and a grant from the National Cancer Institute, is assessing whether the therapy can overcome treatment resistance by targeting a key protein involved in disease relapse. With continued progress in both research and clinical trials, Kairos Pharma is reinforcing its commitment to pioneering new approaches in cancer treatment, offering hope to patients facing some of the most challenging forms of the disease. #proactiveinvestors #kairospharmalitd #nyseamerican #kapa #cancer #env105 #CancerResearch #ProstateCancer #LungCancer #ClinicalTrials #Biotech #Immunotherapy #Healthcare #PharmaInnovation #DrugDevelopment

“Facing Denial, Embracing Vulnerability” Join me and my guest Dr. Andrew G. Kadar. Dr. Kadar, is a renowned physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and was used to taking care of patients—not being one himself. But just as he was embarking on a new marriage, a few episodes of minor chest pain sent this healthy, successful anesthesiologist to his doctor's office, where he received a shocking diagnosis: he had severe heart disease and required immediate open-heart surgery. With extraordinary wisdom and unflinching candor Dr. Kadar describes his unexpected journey as a man in seemingly excellent health into the dire realm of illness and subsequent recovery. Dr. Kadar is a physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology, and a Fellow of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. He graduated from the Yale University School of Medicine and completed his residency at Stanford and Harvard Universities (Massachusetts General Hospital). He has served on the faculties of the UCLA School of Medicine, Charles Drew University, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He has appeared on Good Morning America and NBC Nightly News, as well as Air Talk with Larry Mantle and The Dennis Prager Show. Summary In this episode, Dr. Andrew Kadar shares his unexpected journey through a significant health challenge, exploring themes of denial, vulnerability, and the importance of communication. He reflects on the lessons learned from his experience as both a doctor and a patient, emphasizing the need for connection, appreciation, and a positive impact on others. The discussion also touches on the role of caregivers and the shift in perspective regarding life and mortality. Takeaways Denial can hinder our ability to face health challenges. Vulnerability fosters connection and understanding. Communication is key in patient-caregiver relationships. Health challenges can lead to personal growth and self-discovery. It's important to appreciate the support of caregivers. Life's unexpected events can be viewed as opportunities. A positive mindset can influence recovery and resilience. We should strive to make a positive impact on others. Understanding mortality can shift our life priorities. Everything in life eventually needs to be shared and distributed.

Immunotherapy Success in KRAS G12C Adenosquamous Pancreatic Cancer

BUFFALO, NY - November 4, 2024 – A new #casereport was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on October 11, 2024, entitled “A case of adenosquamous pancreatic cancer with a KRAS G12C mutation with an exceptional response to immunotherapy.” This case report highlights a remarkable and unexpected response to immunotherapy in a patient with metastatic adenosquamous pancreatic cancer (ASCP), a rare and aggressive form of pancreatic cancer. The study, led by Murtaza Ahmed, Brent K. Larson, Arsen Osipov, Nilofer Azad, and Andrew Hendifar from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and Johns Hopkins University, provides new hope for ASCP patients, who are traditionally underserved by current treatment options. The team documented a 68-year-old male with metastatic ASCP carrying a KRAS G12C mutation. Unexpectedly, after limited success with standard therapies, the patient's cancer responded significantly to pembrolizumab, a type of immune checkpoint inhibitor, despite the absence of typical markers indicating suitability for immunotherapy. Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal cancer types, with few advancements in effective treatments for its rarer forms, such as ASCP, which accounts for only 1-10% of all pancreatic cancer cases. Traditionally, ASCP has been treated with chemotherapy based on protocols for the more common pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, despite the distinct tumor characteristics. This case suggests that ASCP's unique tumor microenvironment may make it more receptive to immunotherapy. Researchers are hopeful that this new understanding will drive clinical trials focused on immunotherapy specifically for ASCP patients, potentially offering new options for those with limited treatment success. “To that point, there is an active multi-center phase 2 trial investigating outcomes and responses to ICI in patients with metastatic or unresectable ASCP or ampullary cancer.” In conclusion, this report signals a potential shift in the treatment of rare and aggressive pancreatic cancer subtypes like ASCP. As oncology increasingly embraces personalized medicine, cases like this one open new avenues for patients who were not responsive to traditional therapies, potentially transforming the management of previously intractable cancers.

In today's episode, we're diving into a subject we haven't yet explored on this podcast: eating disorders. This is an issue that affects millions of people worldwide, including many children and adolescents. For some, it's a deeply personal battle that often goes unnoticed by those around them. Research even suggests that certain groups, like girls with ADHD, might be at greater risk of developing eating disorders.  In today's conversation, we're joined by Robyn Goldberg, author of The Eating Disorder Trap. Robyn is here to shed light on this complex mental health issue and help debunk some common misconceptions. Many people think eating disorders are solely about food, but as we'll discuss, they're far more intricate—often tied to deeper emotional and psychological concerns. Robyn covers red flags that parents and caregivers should be aware of and discusses the role that shame, depression, and anxiety play in these struggles. She also touches on the impact of diet culture and how it affects us all. Robyn offers practical advice for parents navigating this journey and even shares details about her free online course for caregivers.   Show Notes: [1:58] - The number of people who struggle with an eating disorder is startling. [3:23] - Eating disorders are not about the food. It is a complex mental health concern. [4:28] - Robyn shares common misconceptions, starting with the stereotyped appearance of someone with an eating disorder. [5:41] - The most common eating disorder that is rarely talked about is binge eating. Robyn also discusses other disorders, like ARFID. [7:47] - Robyn wrote a book that was released right before Covid lockdowns and she describes how it is written for everyone. [9:57] - Doctors and clinicians can be very overwhelming to those struggling with answering questions about their eating disorders. [12:18] - There has been a significant rise in mental health problems, including eating disorders, since the pandemic. [15:03] - Robyn lists some of the frequently seen impacts on physical health that eating disorders have. [17:01] - Things get complicated and confusing when parents have not resolved their own issues with eating. [19:12] - Robyn describes some red flags that could be signs of an eating disorder. [21:05] - Depression and anxiety can be heightened when malnourished. [22:25] - Research shows that girls with ADHD are at greater risk for eating disorders. [24:40] - There is a free online course that Robyn offers for caregivers who are helping someone with an eating disorder. [27:52] - Oftentimes, there is a lot of shame around eating disorders. [29:44] - What does treatment typically look like? It depends on the type of eating disorder, but Robyn explains what parents should expect. [33:03] - There are things that parents and families can do to help support their child or teen. [34:04] - No one is immune to diet culture. It is everywhere and all-consuming.   About Our Guest: Robyn L. Goldberg, RDN, CEDS-C is a registered dietitian nutritionist, certified eating disorder specialist and consultant (CEDS-C), certified intuitive eating counselor and a Health at Every Size® (HAES) clinician.  Robyn began her career at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles as the in-patient dietitian in the Department of Cardiology. For the last 26 years, she has had a private practice in Beverly Hills, CA, where she specializes in medical conditions, eating disorders, disordered eating, dual diagnosis, pre-pregnancy nutrition and women seeking fertility treatment.   Connect with Robyn Goldberg: Your Recovery Resource Free Course (310) 273-0413 Facebook Instagram   Links and Related Resources: Ask About Food Website The Eating Disorder Trap by Robyn L.
