What are we sleeping less and less? What are the benefits of getting a good nights sleep and the risks if we consistently don't? How is sleep linked to memory, cognitive performance, blood sugar regulation & stress hormones? How is young people's development affected by sleep?In this episode we have the surprising data on the science of sleep to get up to date on; so, why there's a sleep deprivation epidemic; how sleep works and what it's required for; dreams; and importance of sleep for learning and for immunity. We're also going to discuss the wide range of serious health issues that arise with even a small sleep deficit, and the vast benefits of getting sleep right; and the lifestyle tips we need to consistently get the sleep we need. And of course, sleep and mental health, and the importance of sleep for development in young people.Gratefully our guest today is a psychologist and neuroscientist that specialises in sleep, mental health and dream research, particularly in young people.

What happens to the practice of medicine when machines begin to reason, summarize and even empathize — at least in the linguistic sense — better than humans do? In this episode, we meet with Michael Howell, MD, MPH, Chief Clinical Officer at Google, to explore the seismic shifts underway in healthcare as artificial intelligence becomes more deeply embedded in clinical workflows. Dr. Howell, a pulmonary and critical care physician, has spent his career at the crossroads of clinical excellence and systems innovation. Before joining Google, he served as chief quality officer at University of Chicago Medicine. At Google, he leads the development and implementation of AI technologies intended to support scalable, safe and equitable medical care. Over the course of our conversation, we examine what AI is and isn't. We delve into how large language models are reshaping the cognitive labor of clinicians, the implications of machines that may someday outperform humans in diagnosis, and whether there is something inherently human about healing that algorithms will never capture. Along the way, we discuss not only the promises of AI, but also its hidden dangers, ethical landmines, and the enduring question — in a future defined by ever smarter machines. What does it mean to be a good doctor?In this episode, you'll hear about: 2:43 - Dr. Howell's path to medicine and eventually to becoming Chief Clinical Officer at Google 6:45 - Why examining the differences between theory and implementation of technology matters17:35 - The evolution of AI and its clinical capabilities26:05 - The definition of “thinking” in the age of AI36:11 - How AI could change the landscape of healthcare on a global scale50:26 - The ethics of using — and not using — AI in medicine54:36 - The role of a doctor in 20 years Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Betel quid chewing, a traditional custom widely practiced in South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Asia-Pacific region, and East Africa for centuries, involves the consumption of raw areca nut mixed with slaked lime and wrapped in a betel leaf. This habit is particularly popular in certain regions, including Northeast India, where the areca nut is raw, wet, and consumed unprocessed. The act of chewing and swallowing this mixture leads to the release of alkaloids, polyphenols, and tannins. However, the consumption of raw areca nut betel quid has been strongly associated with the development of oral, esophageal, and gastric cancers, and has adverse consequences on oral health. Several studies have shown a significant relationship between periodontitis and betel quid chewing habits in many countries, including India. In this context, esophageal cancer is a devastating disease that affects millions of people around the world. Recent research has shed light on the role of the Mad2 gene in the development and progression of esophageal cancer, a disease strongly associated with the consumption of raw areca nut betel quid. In a new study, researchers Chongtham Sovachandra Singh, Nabamita Boruah, Atanu Banerjee, Sillarine Kurkalang, Pooja Swargiary, Hughbert Dakhar, and Anupam Chatterjee from The Assam Royal Global University, University of Pennsylvania, LN Mithila University, University of Chicago Medicine, Nazareth Hospital, Laitumkhrah, and North-Eastern Hill University provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying Mad2 gene deregulation in esophageal cancer. On February 5, 2024, their new research paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 15, entitled, “Differential expression of Mad2 gene is consequential to the patterns of histone H3 post-translational modifications in its promoter region in human esophageal cancer samples.” Full blog - https://www.oncotarget.org/2024/02/22/raw-areca-nut-betel-quid-consumption-and-esophageal-cancer/ Paper DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28554 Correspondence to - Anupam Chatterjee - achatterjee@rgu.ac, chatterjeeanupam@hotmail.com Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.28554 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Oncotarget - https://www.oncotarget.com/subscribe/ Keywords - cancer, Mad2 gene, histone methylation, histone acetylation, Rb-phosphorylation; esophageal cancer About Oncotarget Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

BUFFALO, NY- February 12, 2024 – A new research paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on February 5, 2024, entitled, “Differential expression of Mad2 gene is consequential to the patterns of histone H3 post-translational modifications in its promoter region in human esophageal cancer samples.” Raw areca nut (AN) consumption increases esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) due to overexpression of securin (pituitary tumor transforming gene1), causing chromosomal instability. Mitotic arrest deficient protein 2 (Mad2), a crucial spindle assembly checkpoint protein, is at risk of aneuploidy and tumor development when overexpressed or underexpressed. In this new study, researchers Chongtham Sovachandra Singh, Nabamita Boruah, Atanu Banerjee, Sillarine Kurkalang, Pooja Swargiary, Hughbert Dakhar, and Anupam Chatterjee from The Assam Royal Global University, University of Pennsylvania, LN Mithila University, University of Chicago Medicine, Nazareth Hospital, Laitumkhrah, and North-Eastern Hill University evaluated Mad2 status in human ESCC with AN consumption habits, revealing unclear molecular mechanisms. Human ESCC samples (n = 99) were used for loss of heterozygosity analysis at 4q25-28, while 32 samples were used for expression analysis of Mad2, E2F1 genes, and Rb-phosphorylation. Blood samples were used for metaphase preparation. The Mad2 deregulation was assessed using chromatin immunoprecipitation-qPCR assay in the core promoter region, establishing its association with the pRb-E2F1 circuit for the first time. “The study revealed overexpression and underexpression of Mad2, premature anaphase, and chromosome missegregation in all the samples.” LOH pattern identified a deletion in D4S2975 in 40% of ESCC samples. The study reveals the deregulation of pRb-E2F1 circuit in all samples. 4q27 disruption could be a factor for Mad2 underexpression in AN-induced esophageal carcinogenesis, while overexpression may be due to the deregulation of the Rb-E2F1 circuit and consequently elevation of H3K4me3 and H3K9ac. “Mad2 expression levels with chromosomal abnormalities can be a clinical biomarker, but further research is needed to understand pRb's role in Mad2 down-regulation.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28554 Correspondence to - Anupam Chatterjee - achatterjee@rgu.ac, chatterjeeanupam@hotmail.com Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.28554 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Oncotarget - https://www.oncotarget.com/subscribe/ Keywords - cancer, Mad2 gene, histone methylation, histone acetylation, Rb-phosphorylation; esophageal cancer About Oncotarget Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

His laboratory specializes in investigating the role of radiation therapy and DNA damage repair in pancreatic, lung and small bowel neuroendocrine tumors, discovering new actionable molecular targets for neuroendocrine tumors, and elucidating new mechanisms of drug delivery for endocrine malignancies.TOP TEN QUESTIONS What is liver NETs? How often do NETs spread? Is it expected that NETs will eventually spread?If the primary tumor was already removed, do you now call this liver NET or do you still refer to it by the primary site of origin – and why? How is this different from liver cancer?What causes NETs to spread? Is there anything that is done to cause NET tumors to spread? Is there anything that can be done to keep them from spreading?How do you determine if surgery is an option? What is involved in evaluating metastases? What scans or labs are needed?How do you decide what the “tumor burden” is?How do you weigh the grade or ki67?  How do you weigh tumor size? Is there a cut-off for tumor size or the number of tumors that is too much to operate?How does one decide between surgery versus other options? How often can surgery or other treatments be done? How safe is liver surgery?How do you approach surgery for someone with liver tumors who also has tumors in the tail versus the head of the pancreas?When someone has had a Whipple surgery and later is found to have tumors in the liver, what are the options?What advances in the field are you most excited about? For more information, visit LACNETS.org.

In this episode, Matt sits down with Christos Lazaridis (University of Chicago Medicine) to chat about what brain death is and whether brain death should count as, like, death death.Modern life support technology really hits its stride in the 1960s, allowing doctors to buy themselves more time to save their patients by connecting them to machines that can assist with breathing, blood oxygenation and/or heart pumping. But the flipside to that incredible technological breakthrough was that the medical community now needed to get more precise about the moment at which a person goes from being alive to being dead. After all, what had previously been a quick window between the two was now, due to life support technology, happening in extreme slow motion. In addition, organ transplanation was becoming more and more commonplace, meaning that it was no longer as simple as saying e.g. ‘I count someone as dead just in case their heart has stopped.'By the early 80s, the United States had settled on a standard definition for when someone counts as dead, which states that a person is dead if they have either permanently lost consciousness or permanently lost the ability to breathe and pump blood with their heart. That criterion makes certain life-saving practices possible; for example, it legally feasible for organ transplantation to begin once a patient has fallen into an irreversible coma, provided they agreed to donate their organs in advance.But should a person really count as dead just because they fell into an irreversible coma? We call that condition ‘brain death', or sometimes the wordier ‘death by neurological criteria', and we legally count it as a full death. Critics of the notion of brain death say that it should not count as death, because a person in this condition is still biologically alive. Their argument is that saying a person in this condition is dead is just a story we're telling ourselves.In this episode, Christos Lazaridis—who is a practicing neurointensivist—argues that even if that is a story we're telling ourselves, that's fine, because this is a corner case in which it makes sense for the social/legal status of being dead to come apart from the biological status of being dead. Tune in to hear why he thinks this is the case! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What if you could peer into the future of cardiac care and discover a method for Myocardial Bridge "unroofing" surgery that offers less pain, less scarring, and faster recovery? That future is now. Welcome to the new world of robotic cardiac surgery, as revealed by our guest, Director, Robotic and Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery at University of Chicago Medicine, Dr. Husam Balkhy. He shares his wealth of knowledge with us, unraveling his history and the potential of robotic surgery in treating heart conditions, specifically myocardial bridges. We discuss the intricate landscape of the heart, how different perspectives can help access deep coronary arteries or Myocardial Bridges and delve into the technicalities of unroofing myocardial bridges robotically. A process that requires precision, skill, favors experience and proper patient selection. Dr. Balkhy also shares the hurdles and rewards of robot-assisted surgery, emphasizing the pivotal role of a stabilizer in ensuring successful operations. This very stabilizer is currently being phased out and may not be replaced, rendering this procedure impossible and therefore no longer able to be performed going forward. Whether you're seeking to understand myocardial bridges, explore treatment options, or better understand a diagnosis, this episode will leave you with a deeper comprehension of robotic cardiac surgery's pioneering world and your options.  Cutting edge?  Not so much and happy to say.
