In episode 7 of the Research Rundown, Paul Buchheit and Joe Rauch sit down with Dave Yeager to dig into one of the most meaningful evolutions in his clinical practice — the shift from a broad, generalized approach to something far more precise and individualized.Dave calls it going from shotgun to sniper. Over years of working with professional athletes, he has refined the way he thinks about each player's capacity, load tolerance, and movement patterns, moving away from one-size-fits-all protocols and toward strategies built around the individual in front of him.The conversation gets into how clinicians, practitioners, and coaches can work together to take that individualized information and actually apply it on the field, in the weight room, and throughout the rehabilitation process. A practical, experience-driven discussion with real implications for anyone working at the intersection of sports medicine and performance.For more information about PBATS and athletic training, visit pbats.com.
This week, we feature new research on acute myeloid leukemia, achondroplasia, pediatric septic shock, and RAS-mutant lung cancer. We also review the evaluation and management of pulmonary nodules and follow a diagnostic case of recurrent fractures. Perspectives explore reproductive health care, the human–animal bond in health care access, and on creating space for patients' voices in clinical decision making.

Life After Clinical Practice: Finding Impact Beyond the Exam RoomOn The Pediatric Lounge, Herb and George welcome returning guest Jeanne Marconi to discuss “Life After Clinical Practice: What's Next?” Jeanne describes stepping away from patient care during COVID, wanting to scale what she built in practice (integrated urgent care, behavioral health, lactation, nutrition/obesity care), and helping develop a behavioral health arm at PM Pediatrics leveraging telehealth. The group debates who represents pediatrics, arguing that the AAP prioritizes child advocacy over pediatrician advocacy, while clinical practice faces declining visit volume, rising costs, a worsening payer mix and skewed RVU incentives, growing chronic and mental health complexity, and low adoption of recommendations, which can overwhelm clinicians and erode family trust. Jeanne outlines paths for “burnt on” physicians: redesign services within practice, pursue governance/boards, advocacy, or nonclinical roles, and accept starting as a beginner. They discuss private equity tradeoffs, instability, and the need for strong change management centered on explaining “why,” addressing resistance, and building community forums for pediatricians. Jeanne highlights nonprofit work supporting youth aging out of foster care and her board role at Elizabeth Seton Children's Center, urging colleagues to support one another's mental health and view transitions as applying medical skills in new ways.00:00 Podcast Welcome00:37 Meet Dr Marconi02:12 Leaving Clinical Practice03:36 Building Behavioral Health04:33 Who Speaks Pediatrics06:42 Practice Pressures Today08:05 Payment Model Problems14:08 Guidelines And Evidence17:29 Burnt On And Pivoting20:35 Paths Beyond Medicine21:43 Private Equity Reality28:27 Costs And Practice Change32:18 Finding Your Impact33:44 Drop the Doctor Ego33:58 Reframing Leaving Medicine35:22 Becoming a Change Agent38:18 Change Management That Works40:03 Generational Shifts in Practice43:06 AI Tools for Better Leadership46:26 When to Move On51:10 Passion Versus Paycheck51:50 Mental Health and Toxicity53:14 Building Community Meetups57:23 Advocacy That Feeds the Soul59:03 Final Takeaways and WrapSupport the show

Drs. Ghia and Scarfò discuss how CAR T-cell therapy is emerging as a powerful option for high-risk CLL and Richter transformation, especially in patients who have failed BTK and BCL-2 inhibitors. They stress that achieving deep remissions, choosing the right patients, and referring early to specialized centers are critical to improving outcomes.
We speak with Dr. Leslie Boyd, gynecologic oncologist and healthcare leader, about one of medicine's most delicate balances: nurturing hope while remaining honest in the face of serious illness. Through stories from her patients, reflections on her own career, and insights from years of mentoring physicians in training, Leslie explores how clinicians can help sustain hope without offering false reassurance. We consider how hope is not the opposite of realism but an essential part of healing. This thoughtful conversation offers a powerful reminder that even when medicine cannot change the outcome, physicians can profoundly influence how patients experience the journey.

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Erin D. Michos, MD, MHS Severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG) affects more than 3 million people, but it often flies under the clinical radar.1-3 When triglycerides are at or above a 500 mg/dL threshold, it's no longer just an isolated lab value—it's a level of hypertriglyceridemia where the clinical implications change, and where a more careful evaluation for underlying causes and risk becomes important.4 That's why Dr. Charles Turck sits down with Dr. Erin Michos to discuss what sHTG is, why it's so important to identify, and how we can effectively manage this condition to improve patients' overall health and reduce complication risk. Dr. Erin Michos is a Professor of Medicine, Director of Women's Cardiovascular Health, and Associate Director of Preventive Cardiology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

There's a hidden fat that matters more for your health than your weight. This is visceral fat: it wraps around your organs, raises your risk of heart disease and cancer, and builds up even in people who look slim and healthy. In today's episode, Professor Jimmy Bell, a world-leading expert in measuring visceral fat, explains how we can shrink this dangerous belly fat in just 12 weeks. Jimmy explores why two people can weigh exactly the same and carry completely different amounts of this hidden fat, what it is, where it hides and why it matters. By the end, you'll have a completely new understanding of body fat, and what it really means for your long-term health. If your weight has stayed exactly the same for years, what do you think is happening underneath it?
In this episode, Niall speaks with Dr. Marjorie Woollacott, Professor Emerita of Neuroscience at the University of Oregon and former President of the Academy for the Advancement of Postmaterialist Sciences.

Drs. Buse and Bonakdar discuss how migraine is deeply intertwined with mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety, forming a powerful “multimorbidity” cluster that can intensify pain, disability, and stigma. By combining compassionate, stigma-free communication with evidence-based tools—from simple screening questions (such as PHQ-9, GAD-7, and anhedonia prompts) to pharmacologic and behavioral therapies—clinicians can meaningfully improve both migraine and mood outcomes for their patients.
Coeliac disease is often viewed as a straightforward gastrointestinal condition, but its presentation, diagnosis and long-term management can be far more complex than many clinicians appreciate.In this episode of the RCP Medicine Podcast Dr. Dushen Murugiah, Consultant Gastroenterologist and Trust Lead for Nutrition at Royal Surrey County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, joins Dr Abhishek Ray to explore the modern approach to coeliac disease.Together they discuss classical and non-classical presentations, the challenges of diagnosing an often under-recognised condition, the role of serology and small bowel biopsy, and the importance of considering celiac disease in patients presenting with unexplained anaemia, nutritional deficiencies and other extraintestinal manifestations. The conversation also explores refractory celiac disease, practical challenges associated with lifelong gluten avoidance, and promising future therapies currently under investigation.This episode offers practical, evidence-informed insights for physicians, trainees and healthcare professionals involved in the assessment and management of patients with suspected or confirmed coeliac disease.

In this episode, Sharon and Jeremy welcome President and CEO of Aurnova University Linda Caccamo, CRNA, DNP, MS, MBA, MHA, to discuss why advanced business education is becoming an increasingly valuable asset for healthcare professionals. With more than 30 years of clinical anesthesia experience, Linda understands what it takes to create academic programs that meet today's workforce needs and we'll explore all areas of that in this conversation. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:
In this episode of Derms and Conditions, host James Q. Del Rosso, DO, welcomes Jason Hawkes, MD, MS, for a special Tea with Dr. D edition exploring the immunology that underpins inflammatory skin disease and how a deeper understanding of cytokine biology can inform clinical decision-making. The discussion begins by challenging the common tendency to classify diseases according to a single "dominant" cytokine or immune pathway. Drs Del Rosso and Hawkes emphasize that while frameworks such as type 1, type 2, and type 3 inflammation are valuable for organizing complex biology, they should be viewed as conceptual models rather than rigid categories, as immune responses are dynamic, overlapping, and highly interconnected. Using a series of educational slides, Dr Hawkes reviews how naïve T cells differentiate into distinct immune responses after interacting with antigen-presenting cells within the lymph node. He highlights 3 key cytokines that help clinicians remember the major pathways driving differentiation: IL-12 for type 1 inflammation, IL-4 for type 2 inflammation, and IL-23 for type 3 inflammation. These regulatory cytokines shape downstream immune responses that ultimately contribute to diseases such as atopic dermatitis and psoriasis. A major focus of the episode is the distinct but complementary roles of IL-4 and IL-13 in type 2 inflammation. Dr Hawkes explains why IL-4 serves as the critical regulator of type 2 immune differentiation, functioning within the lymph node to establish the broader immune response, while IL-13 plays a prominent role within peripheral tissues, particularly the skin. He also addresses the misconception that higher tissue expression necessarily indicates greater biologic importance, noting that cytokines often exert profound effects despite relatively low expression levels. Throughout the discussion, the speakers reinforce that cytokines should not be viewed in isolation. Their overlapping and synergistic effects help explain why patients can present with different clinical manifestations despite sharing common inflammatory mechanisms. Ultimately, the goal is not to identify a universally superior therapeutic target, but to understand each patient's disease biology well enough to select the therapy that best matches their clinical presentation. Tune in to the full episode to learn more about the foundations of type 1, type 2, and type 3 inflammation, the distinct roles of key cytokines in immune regulation and tissue disease, common misconceptions surrounding cytokine biology, and how a stronger understanding of immunology can support more personalized treatment decisions in everyday dermatology practice.
Dr. Wendy Ashley explores how clinicians can move beyond the myth of neutrality by recognizing how identity, power, privilege, and lived experience shape clinical work. She offers practical guidance for practicing with greater cultural humility, reflexivity, authenticity, and responsiveness in the therapeutic relationship.

When someone has experienced trauma, chronic stress, or progressive illness, their own physical body can start to feel like an unsafe environment. They often report feeling disconnected from or even "betrayed" by their physical shape. How do we help clients shift out of a constant, cellular state of survival and return to a state of safety, trust, and connection?In this episode of This is Yoga Therapy, host Michele Lawrence sits down with Meredith Phipps, C-IAYT, founder of Essentia Yoga Therapy. Meredith masterfully weaves together traditional yoga therapy, somatic practices, and polyvagal theory to help clients reforge a trusted relationship with their physical selves.Together, they explore the somatic architecture of trauma, how polyvagal-informed tools adapt seamlessly to changing and aging bodies, and why building a completely new relationship with the body is a radical—yet necessary—shift in clinical care.In this conversation, we explore:The Cellular Level of Survival: Why trauma alters a person's relationship with their body and why top-down talk therapy sometimes struggles to reach deep somatic holding patterns.Polyvagal Theory on the Mat: How to demystify complex nervous system states (fight, flight, freeze) so clients in heightened defense can practically track their state.Trauma Recovery & Aging: The surprising intersection between trauma-informed somatic tools and supporting individuals navigating progressive illness or changing physical capabilities.Personalized Inquiry vs. Fixed Shapes: How tailored, responsive yoga therapy alters clinical outcomes compared to standard, general studio classes.From Management to Awe: How practitioners can help clients shift away from viewing the body as "something problematic to manage" toward treating it as a sacred space of reverence and wonder.

Host Mike Palmer connects with behavioral neuroscience expert and executive coach Dr. D. Ivan Young to discuss his book, Leading from the Heart. They analyze the balance between artificial intelligence and human emotion, detailing how self-empathy, compassion, and psychological safety impact leadership. Dr. Young also shares practical insights on managing emotional signals, navigating media-driven dopamine loops, and using metacognition to reset negative thought patterns. Key Discussion Topics: Self-Empathy First: Leaders cannot effectively provide empathy or compassion to others if they do not first possess it within themselves. Thermostats vs. Thermometers: Effective leaders actively regulate the energy and psychological safety of an environment rather than merely reflecting the existing temperature. Weaponized Empathy: Modern social media algorithms and political messaging exploit emotional triggers to divide populations, requiring individuals to consciously choose harmony instead. The Thought Map: A tactile, metacognitive exercise using physical writing shifts activity across brain regions to halt an amygdala hijack. Ethical AI & "Uriel": A clinical, patient-centered AI designed to eliminate programming bias and promote user self-efficacy and resilience. Authentic Human Connection: Addressing the loneliness epidemic requires disconnecting from curated online personas and grounding oneself in nature.
