Podcasts about clinical use

In today's episode, I'm opening the first chapter of what I believe is the most important series I've ever created — a deep dive into progesterone and why it became the heart of my medical practice. For more than 20 years, I've watched this “simple, humble hormone” transform women's lives in ways most conventional medicine overlooks. What started in two small treatment rooms has grown into a 25,000 sq ft facility, and the core of our success comes down to understanding progesterone's impact on the female brain, stress response, and emotional resilience. In this episode, I break down: Why progesterone is far more than a reproductive hormone How it regulates the female stress response (amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex) Why anxiety, insomnia, irritability, and emotional overwhelm often map directly to progesterone decline Why so many women feel “unraveled” in their 40s — and why it's not their fault The science behind oral vs. sublingual progesterone (and why I use troches) How conventional medicine often misses the root cause The importance of physicians showing their work, their data, and their citations The lived stories and clinical outcomes that changed how I practice medicine If you've ever felt dismissed, unseen, or told that your anxiety or mood changes are “just stress,” this episode is for you. This is the beginning of a 7-part series where I break down the neurobiology, endocrinology, testing, dosing, delivery methods, breast health, perimenopause, and more.   Citations: Brinton, Roberta Diaz, et al. “Neurosteroids and Brain Function.” Steroids, vol. 81, 2014, pp. 61–78.

Health care executive Max Rollwage discusses his article "The promise and perils of AI in health care: Why we need better testing standards." Max highlights the risks of relying on AI systems that are evaluated through artificial scenarios or even other AI models, emphasizing the dangers of circular validation in high-stakes environments like emergency care. He discusses why true readiness requires real-world clinical trials, expert human evaluation, and impact studies on patient outcomes. Max also points to the role of regulators like the FDA and AI Safety Institutes in setting higher standards, and he offers practical insights on how the medical community and technology developers can ensure safe and effective AI deployment. Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of both the promise and the perils of AI in medicine, and what it will take to responsibly bring these tools to the bedside.

If you're anything like us you always want to do everything possible to help your neuro patients recover and improve as much as possible. On today's show host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS interviews Rose Tilton, OTR/L, OTD about an intervention that she took straight from the research to the clinic: spinal cord stimulation with transcutaneous stimulation. After learning about its applicability in the literature Rose was eager to use it with her patients but hit some road blocks. Finally she was in touch with the authors of a study who helped her and her colleagues become trained in using transcutaneous spinal stimulation on people with spinal cord injury. The clinicians found the intervention was not only simple to do but also very effective for maximizing outcomes in upper extremity rehab, lower extremity rehab, trunk control for balance, bowel and bladder and even sexual function. In today's episode Rose breaks down exactly what you need to know in order to start using this intervention with your patients today using equipment you already have!   Gain clinical insights that will spark your curiosity to learn more in this episode. While you'll learn exactly what to do, best practice dictates that you do additional research to ensure you have competency and clearance from your clinical state practice act to perform this intervention. Rose encourages therapists to stay curious, reach out to researchers, and be proactive in exploring new interventions that could transform patient outcomes.

Methotrexate is a well-established drug used in oncology, but could it also play a role in managing osteoarthritis? In this episode of Joint Action, Professor David Hunter is joined by Dr Anna Døssing and Professor Robin Christensen to explore the potential of methotrexate as a treatment for osteoarthritis pain. They discuss:What methotrexate is and how it worksInsights from a recent meta-analysis on its effectiveness and safetyWhy individual studies show mixed resultsWhether it might help people with hand or knee OA - especially those with signs of inflammationHow dosing and side effects factor into clinical decision-making Tune in for an honest, data-driven conversation about repurposing an old drug for a new purpose - and what it could mean for people living with osteoarthritis.RESOURCESEditorial: Methotrexate for osteoarthritis—Ready for clinical use and in whom?: https://www.oarsijournal.com/article/S1063-4584(25)00973-2/abstract?CONNECT WITH USTwitter: @ProfDavidHunter @jointactionorgInstagram: @osteoarthritisresearchgroupEmail: osteoarthritis.research@sydney.edu.auWebsite: https://www.jointaction.info/podcast Hosted on Acast.

In this Scope Forward conversation, Praveen Suthrum speaks with Leo Grady, founder and CEO of Jona. Leo's background sits at the intersection of healthcare AI and microbiome science — a rare combination that's defining the future of gut health diagnostics.Their discussion explores why the microbiome is not a distant promise but clinically actionable today. They dig into why AI isn't just a tool but a necessity to interpret the complex, rapidly expanding world of microbiome research. Leo breaks down how Jona's platform creates a “digital twin” of the gut microbiome, simulating evidence-based interventions rather than offering general advice.Praveen and Leo also dive into why most existing microbiome companies miss the mark — often selling supplements rather than driving real clinical change — and how Jona was built to fill that gap with science at its core. The conversation closes with a look at why gastroenterology must — and is beginning to — take the lead in bringing microbiome research into everyday practice.Top Insights from the Conversation:02:27 - The Microbiome Is Clinically Actionable — TodayThousands of studies already link gut flora to chronic disease. Leo challenges the belief that it's “too early” — arguing there's sufficient evidence to act now, not a decade later.03:57 - AI Is the Only Way to Navigate the ComplexityWith 2,000+ new studies published monthly, no human can keep pace. Jona's custom AI filters and interprets this tidal wave of research, making personal, evidence-based recommendations possible.05:03 - Jona Builds a Digital Twin of the GutJona sequences an individual's microbiome and models how interventions — diet, supplements, medications — would alter it, based on interventional studies. It's a simulation grounded in real, published science.10:23 - Most Microbiome Startups Fall ShortMany existing companies sell the promise of gut health, but without scientific rigor. Jona was founded because Leo saw an opportunity to ground microbiome testing in solid evidence, especially for serious GI conditions.15:45 - Business Model: AI-Powered Microbiome InsightsJona sells precision gut tests, using AI to match microbiome data with clinical research—delivering evidence-based insights, not supplements.22:19- Clinical Use of Microbiome Testing Must Be Evidence-BasedJona's recommendations — whether to change diet or introduce a probiotic — are directly tied to published research, with confidence scores that help clinicians weigh the strength of evidence.26:43 - Jona's AI as a Domain-Specific Language ModelJona's AI acts like a specialized LLM trained on microbiome literature—matching patient data to published studies and simulating outcomes. It doesn't just read research; it reasons with it.37:05- Gastroenterology Must Lead the Way — and It IsWhile the microbiome has often been developed outside of GI, Praveen and Leo highlight how the field is shifting. GI physicians, with leaders like Dr. Lawrence Kosinski, are increasingly stepping up to shape the future of microbiome diagnostics and therapeutics.#digitalhealth #gastroenterology #thescopeforwardshow #nextservices #gi #future #ai #theshift #microbiome

Numerous neuron models have been made, but most of them are "single-purpose" in that they are made to address a single scientific question. In contrast, multipurpose neuron models are made to be used to address many scientific questions. In 2011, the guest published a multipurpose rodent pyramidal-cell model which has been actively used by the community ever since. We talk about how such models are made, and how his group later built human neuron models to explore network dynamics in brains of depressed patients.

Happy Halloween, and welcome to another chilling episode of the NAVAS podcast, where we venture into the eerie depths of veterinary anesthesia! Join us as we lift the curtain on a topic that, while vital to advanced anesthesia practice, often sends shivers down the spine of even the bravest veterinary professionals—neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) in veterinary patients. While paralytic agents play an important role in providing excellent quality muscle relaxation that can help facilitate a variety of procedures, their use often spooks even the seasoned anesthetist, as they can cause frightening problems if not used with great care. After listening to this episode, we hope you can avoid a jump scare anytime you need to use NMBA. Our guest for this spine-tingling episode is the highly esteemed Dr. Daniel Sakai from the University of Georgia College of Veterinary Medicine. Dr. Sakai, boarded veterinary anesthesiologist, has conducted extensive research on NMBAs, exploring their invaluable role in patient immobilization as well as how to optimize recovery from neuromuscular blockade. He's here to help us demystify these powerful agents, dissect their practical applications, and reveal how to use them safely and effectively to prevent any nightmarish outcomes for your patients. So, as the leaves fall and the shadows lengthen, grab a cozy blanket, tune in, and get ready to learn from one of the top minds in veterinary anesthesia. Just be warned—this episode might leave you spellbound!If you like what you hear, we have a couple of favors to ask of you:Become a member of NAVAS for access to more anesthesia and analgesia educational and RACE-approved CE content.Spread the word. Share our podcast on your socials or a discussion forum. That would really help us achieve our mission: Reduce mortality and morbidity in veterinary patients undergoing sedation, anesthesia, and analgesia through high-quality, peer-reviewed education.

One can never pay too much attention to the vagus nerve. In fact, it's one of the hottest topics in wellness right now! This is because this tenth cranial nerve is critical in regulating many essential body functions, including of the heart, gut, brain, and lungs.We've touched upon the vagus nerve a few times with several amazing experts on the Essential Oils Revolution podcast! In this episode, I'm back for another solo episode in which I explore in more depth what some of my favorite essential oils are to support our vagus nerve. These essential oils were selected based on my clinical experience, their traditional use, and that they also have some evidence of favorably modulating our nervous system in scientific research. What You Will Learn: The three parts of your autonomic nervous system and how they impact body physiology. The functions of the vagus nerve and how it can affect healing and restoration.  An overview of the multiple ways essential oils can calm the mind-body and support vagal tone. How essential oils influence our biochemistry and neurology to favorably benefit the vagus nerve. A review of the ways that lavender essential oil modulates the nervous system and vagal tone. What we can use to measure parasympathetic activity, including heart rate variability, which reflects vagal tone. Some of the issues with essential oil research.  An overview of the research on bergamot oil for calming the parasympathetic nervous system, which is mediated by the vagus nerve.  The studies on ylang ylang oil for positively influencing the vagal response.  If you should use an essential oil if you don't like the smell and how this relates to the nervous system.  Two honorable mentions of essential oils for regulating the vagus nerve response, petitgrain and fir oils. How volatile compounds from tree oils can mediate the negative effects of stress. A summary of how essential oils can optimize vagus nerve function and are applicable to the polyvagal theory. Have you used lavender oil, bergamot oil, ylang ylang, petitgrain, or fir oils to support your emotional health? Share your feedback and comments on the website or your favorite podcast player!Please support the show by subscribing and providing a rating and feedback on your favorite podcast player.

In this panel episode recorded at SIR 2023, Drs. Stephen Hunt, Chuck Martin, and Gaurav Gadodia update us on current applications and future directions of augmented reality in interventional radiology. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Medtronic Ellipsys Vascular Access System https://www.medtronic.com/ellipsys Reflow Medical https://www.reflowmedical.com/ --- EARN CME Reflect on how this Podcast applies to your day-to-day and earn free AMA PRA Category 1 CMEs: https://earnc.me/voyqG5 --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Hunt explains the differences between virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR) since there is increasing levels of overlap between virtual and real worlds with each category . He notes that all three are being explored in surgical fields, especially orthopedics and neurosurgery. Within IR, augmented reality can be used to adjust images and subtract out respiratory motion, making biopsies and ablations safer and more effective. Dr. Hunt became interested in AR when his PIGI Lab at the University of Pennsylvania needed 3D models to access liver tumors in experimental mice. Additionally, AR is a useful tool for planning difficult procedures and teaching interventional procedures to trainees across the globe. Dr. Martin speaks about the intersection of medicine and industry. He directs research studies for Mediview, a company focused on bringing AR into medical imaging. Dr. Martin speaks about the important role that industry plays in commercializing an invention and getting it into operators' hands. As larger companies enter the AR space, accessibility and user interfaces will improve. Additionally, the shift towards AR product development can guide future FDA regulations. Dr. Gadodia's engineering background made him excited to enter the AR space as resident at the Cleveland Clinic. He highlights applications of AR in the non-academic setting. Using a headset could increase procedural efficiency and access to care. Finally, we discuss major shifts in industry and medicine that favor the increasing use of AR, such as industry's need for clinician input in product development, the multitude of startups working on the same issues, and the overarching goal of patient safety. --- RESOURCES Ep. 7- Lung Tumor Ablation with Dr. Stephen Hunt: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/7/lung-tumor-ablation Ep. 53- International IR Volunteer Work with Dr. Stephen Hunt: https://www.backtable.com/shows/vi/podcasts/53/international-ir-volunteer-work Mediview: https://mediview.com/ Microsoft HoloLens: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/hololens Penn Image-Guided Interventions (PIGI) Lab: https://www.med.upenn.edu/pigilab/

In this episode, my guest is Nolan Williams, M.D., a triple board-certified psychiatrist, neurologist and professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford School of Medicine. He is also the Director of the Stanford Brain Stimulation Lab. We discuss clinical applications for brain stimulation, behavioral protocols and novel drug treatments to halt and reverse mental health disorders, including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We first discuss the neural circuits for self-identity and mood and stress control. We discuss Dr. Williams' work using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to depression, trauma, PTSD, and other mood disorders. We then dive deep into the history, biology, modern use, and safety margins of the various psychedelics, including MDMA, LSD, ketamine, ibogaine, ayahuasca, and psilocybin, as well as cannabis and the use of SSRIs in both adults and children. Finally, we discuss behavioral treatments for mental health disorders, including sleep and sleep deprivation, light exposure, exercise, and training to control the brain-heart-rate pathways. Regardless of age, all those interested in mental health should benefit from the incredible breadth and depth of Dr. Williams' knowledge and the clarity with which he conveys that information.
