Podcasts about clinical cases

Our guest is Dr Priscila Cruz Flores, an ophthalmologist from Mexico City who balances a private clinical practice with a strong dedication to surgical education and humanitarian work. She coordinates large-scale medical missions that provide free cataract surgeries to underserved rural communities throughout Mexico. Additionally, she co-founded EICCO, an international academic meeting designed to foster collaboration and education among ophthalmology residents and specialists. I was fortunate to join her at the last EICCO meeting (Encuentro Interinstitucional de Casos Clínicos en Oftalmología which means Inter-institutional Meeting of Clinical Cases in Ophthalmology) and was truly impressed with her passion and drive. So much to learn from this amazing colleague.We feature a new podcast every week on Sundays and they are uploaded to all major podcast services. The full video of the podcast is here on CataractCoach as well as on our YouTube channel. Starting now we have sponsorship opportunities available for the top podcast in all of ophthalmology. Please contact us to inquire.

Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne explores the concept of FOMO, Fear of Missing Out, and how it uniquely affects cancer patients. Drawing from personal experiences and referencing a 2021 study from the World Journal of Clinical Cases by Gupta and Sharma, Saranne explains how FOMO can lead to anxiety, disrupted sleep, and emotional issues, especially when compounded by the rigorous demands of cancer treatment. She emphasizes the importance of self-preservation and introduces the concept of JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) as a healthier mindset. By creating an inner life filled with joy, one doesn't need to keep up with social expectations and can instead focus on what truly brings peace and happiness. "Forget others, me only." – Saranne Today on Beating Cancer Daily: ·     FOMO stands for Fear of Missing Out, and social media often exacerbates it.·     A 2021 study identified multiple negative impacts of FOMO, including anxiety and reduced physical well-being.·     For cancer patients, FOMO can add unnecessary stress during treatment, making it crucial to manage social engagements wisely.·     JOMO — Joy of Missing Out — is about finding contentment in one's inner life rather than external activities.·     Self-preservation is key during cancer treatment; knowing when to rest and recharge is vital.·     Practical strategies for combating FOMO include journaling, meditation, and turning off social media.·     Scheduling social connections via digital means can help maintain relationships without the physical strain of going out.·     Tools like ComedyCures LaughLine offer daily humor, aiding in emotional well-being. Resources Mentioned:ComedyCures Foundationhttps://www.comedycures.org2025 People's Choice Podcast Awards Finalist Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025, and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in over 130 countries across 7 continents and features over 390 original daily episodes hosted by Stage IV survivor  Saranne Rothberg.   To learn more about Host Saranne Rothberg and The ComedyCures Foundation:https://www.comedycures.org/ To write to Saranne or a guest:https://www.comedycures.org/contact-8 To record a message to Saranne or a guest:https://www.speakpipe.com/BCD_Comments_Suggestions To sign up for the free Health Builder Series live on Zoom with Saranne and Jacqui, go to The ComedyCures Foundation's homepage:https://www.comedycures.org/ Please support the creation of more original episodes of Beating Cancer Daily and other free ComedyCures Foundation programs with a tax-deductible contribution:http://bit.ly/ComedyCuresDonate THANK YOU!

BrainWaves is an academic audio podcast whose mission is to educate medical providers through clinical cases and topical reviews in neurology, medicine, and the humanities, and episodes originally aired from 2016 to 2021. Originally released: March 5, 2020 Generalized weakness is a common complaint. Much of the time, we as neurologists don't even see these patients in the hospital or the clinic. But more often than not, “generalized” weakness may be the only way a patient describes difficulty brushing their hair or climbing stairs. In these situations, it's not exactly generalized weakness. It's something else. This week on BrainWaves, we review the major patterns of weakness that characterize the most common muscle disorders. With a quick review of EMG findings.

Originally released: July 18, 2017 People fall for a lot of reasons when they get older, but that doesn't mean they should see a neurologist. A person can fall because of weakness, back or leg pain, instability, clumsiness, vision impairment, a sensory disturbance, and a myriad of other causes. Some of these are neurological, and these require special attention. In this week's Teaching through Clinical Cases episode, Dr. Sneha Mantri discusses a patient who presented to her clinic with falls due to rigidity and ocular dysmotility.
