What every ENT needs to know about the resurgence of measles—and how to talk to patients about vaccines. In this episode of the Back Table ENT podcast, Dr. Romaine Johnson and Dr. Daniel Chelius, both pediatric otolaryngologists, talk about the resurgence of measles and vaccine hesitancy with host Dr. Gopi Shah. ---SYNPOSISThey delve into their professional backgrounds, the importance of recognizing symptoms early, and the risks associated with measles, such as otitis media and sensorineural hearing loss. The conversation highlights the role of ENT specialists in identifying and managing the disease, strategies for addressing vaccine hesitancy, and the broader public health implications. They also touch on ways the medical community can tackle misinformation and advocate for vaccinations through collective efforts and patient education.---TIMESTAMPS0:00 Introduction 07:07 Measles Contagion and Symptoms23:23 Complications and Long-term Effects28:37 Assessing Respiratory Status and Complications29:44 Addressing Common Vaccine Myths31:18 Challenges in Vaccination Conversations32:38 Personal Stories and Impact of Vaccination Choices35:00 Building Trust and Addressing Concerns38:15 Approaching Non-Vaccination in Clinical Practice53:12 Global Perspective on Vaccination54:17 Final Thoughts and Contact Information
Should we be doing more to save questionable teeth? What if you could buy more time — without compromising patient care? Dr. Omar Ikram returns for a powerful episode diving into the real-world decision-making between endodontics and implants. Together with Jaz, they explore tough scenarios — like teeth with nasty cracks or minimal remaining structure — and ask the critical question: when is it truly time to extract? They break down concepts like retained roots, root burial, amputation, and a new term Jaz introduces — palliative endodontics. Because sometimes the best outcome isn't immediate replacement, but smart, strategic delay. https://youtu.be/5msP908JvuI Watch PDP238 on Youtube Protrusive Dental Pearl: When discussing treatment longevity with older patients, tailor your language to be more relatable. Instead of saying, “I plan my dentistry to age 100,” say, “I want this to last well into your eighties or nineties.” This makes the conversation more personal and realistic, helping patients better connect with the concept of long-term outcomes. Key Takeaways Understanding the limitations of implants compared to natural teeth is vital. Medical history significantly impacts dental treatment decisions. Managing patient expectations is crucial for satisfaction. Palliative endodontics can provide temporary relief and management. Reading and interpreting CBCT scans requires skill and experience. If it's not that five millimeter defect, it's up to you. The second molar is a good one because often second molars can't be replaced with an implant. Retaining roots is definitely a good way to go. You need to risk assess the patient before extraction. Palliative endo is technically always an option. Success in endo can be often difficult to achieve. Asymptomatic and functional is a good criteria. If endo is on the table, it's feasible.

Public health advocate Kathleen Muldoon discusses her article "Why congenital CMV should be on every parent and doctor's radar," revealing how congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) remains the most common viral cause of disability in the U.S., yet is often ignored in medical training, prenatal counseling, and public health policy. Kathleen explains how toddlers act as primary vectors, why prevention advice is rarely shared, and how early antiviral treatment can improve outcomes when the infection is detected in time. She outlines practical steps clinicians can take now, from incorporating prevention into prenatal visits to advocating for universal newborn screening, and calls for a cultural and educational shift to make cCMV awareness as routine as counseling on folic acid or listeria.

If there are few or no branching veins between the access and stenosis, thrombosis could occur Etiology The most common etiology is venous stenosis caused by a history of vessel wall trauma by centrally-inserted venous devices such as tunneled and non-tunneled dialysis catheters, central lines, pacemakers, or defibrillator. In a study performed at a large academic medical center1, new hemodynamically significant central venous stenosis was associated with the duration of catheter dependence (26% in patients with CVCs for more than 6 months, versus 11% in patients with CVCs for less than 6 months). PICC lines can directly damage cephalic and basilic veins Venous stenosis can often go undetected until AV access creation occurs Patient Presentation Symptoms of venous insufficiency will be present– most commonly regional edema, in the area of venous stenosis. If there are patent venous branches between the AV anastomosis and the stenotic area, swelling can occur throughout the arm. Pigmentation, induration, dermatosclerosis, and ulceration may also be observed. An extensive collateral network of veins may be visible throughout anterior chest, shoulder, or flank SVC obstruction can result in swelling of the head, neck and shoulders, as well as a feeling of head and neck fullness, airway compromise, and visual problems Normal palpable thrill can be replaced by a strong pulse Dialysis can be complicated by difficulty with needle access, recirculation syndrome, and arm swelling after dialysis sessions. Workup Central vein thrombosis can be hard to detect on ultrasound because clavicle and sternum can block transmission Venography is essential to determine the presence and severity of venous stenosis or occlusion. Prevention The ideal scenario is to avoid central dialysis catheters completely, and this involves evaluating CKD patients and placing AVF or AVG before the need for dialysis arises. If a patient presents placement of an AVF/AVG, it is important to perform venography if a patient has a history of a central venous catheter or clinical signs of venous hypertension. A history of SVC obstruction from any cause can preclude permanent AV access creation in both upper extremities Treatment Endovascular approaches to venous outflow stenosis can be first-line treatment options, due to their minimal risk. They can also be performed at the same time as a diagnostic venogram. Angioplasty alone or with stenting are the endovascular options. In a study by Bakken et al2 that compared primary high-pressure balloon angioplasty versus stenting, primary patency was equivalent between groups, with 30-day rates of 76% for both groups and 12-month rates of 29% for angioplasty and 21% for stenting. Assisted primary patency was also equivalent with a 30-day patency rate of 81% and 12-month rate of 73% for the angioplasty group, 84% at 30 days, and 46% at 12 months for the stenting group. This study, along with others, shows that the major downside of endovascular interventions, whether angioplasty or stenting, often require repeat intervention and have poor long-term patency. For subclavian vein stenosis, angioplasty alone is appropriate due to its anatomical location that can put a stent at risk for extrinsic compression from the first rib and clavicle. Surgical bypass can be performed Possible bypasses include axillary-axillary, axillary-jugular, axillary-right atrial, and axillary-femoral. In these bypasses, the preferred conduits are autogenous saphenous or femoral veins. In cases where the proximal subclavian vein is obstructed, a jugular vein turndown can be performed. In this procedure the distal jugular vein is transected, sewed end-to-side at the distal subclavian vein, effectively acting as a bypass route for that obstructed segment. The Hemoaccess Reliable Outflow (HeRO) Vascular Access Device can be used as a hybrid approach, combining endovascular and open surgical techniques to bypass a central venous occlusion and provide a reliable outflow for dialysis. This device has a PTFE inflow limb that is sewn end-to-side onto the brachial artery. This limb is tunneled subcutaneously and connected to a silicone-coated nitinol outflow catheter that is inserted into a central vein and tracked directly into the right atrium. This effectively bypasses central venous stenoses. In the largest study to date on HeRO access grafts placed in 167 patients,3 HeRO primary and secondary patency was 48.8% and 90.8%, respectively, at 12 months. Interventions to maintain or re-establish patency were required in 71.3% of patients resulting in an intervention rate of 1.5/year. Access-related infections were reported in 4.3% patients. The authors concluded that HeRO device had performed comparably to standard AVGs and had proven superior to tunneled dialysis catheters in terms of patency, intervention, and infection rates. If no treatment options for venous hypertension or outflow obstruction are available, an alternate AV access site can be created, either in the contralateral arm if the SVC is uninvolved, or through placement of femoral AV access or a peritoneal dialysis catheter. Bleeding Access Site Etiology and Risk Factors Bleeding can be caused by high venous pressure after dialysis, pseudoaneurysm rupture, or trauma. Patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) have a baseline elevated risk of bleeding due to uremia-induced platelet dysfunction and use of systemic anticoagulation within the hemodialysis circuit. Additional risk factors include dialysis through an AV graft, hypertension, longer duration of access use, and compromised integrity of the vascular access due to complications (clotting, infection) or invasive procedures. Dual antiplatelet therapy is also associated with overall bleeding events in ESRD patients. Dialysis patients could be on antiplatelet therapy for management of comorbid cardiovascular risk and/or patency of AV graft Patients with bleeding fistulas often present from their dialysis unit when standard digital pressure at the cannulation site fails to stop the bleeding. This is a very serious condition since most mature fistulas have high blood flow and the patients are at risk for hemorrhagic shock and death. Initial Management The first step of management is to obtain hemostasis. Elevate the limb above the level of the heart and apply firm and directed pressure at the site of bleeding using gauze for at least 30-40 minutes Milosevic et al4 reviewed non-operative management of bleeding fistulas and grafts and found that compared to standard dressings, the use of specialized hemostatic dressings decreased bleeding time at arterial and venous cannulation sites. These hemostatic materials included the IRIS compression bandage and cellulose-based, chitosan-based, poly-N-acetyl glucosamine-based, and thrombin-soaked dressings. There has been a “bottlecap method” described where the hollow side of a bottlecap is pressed on top of the puncture site. Maintaining pressure on the cap will cause the cap to fill with blood and clot, which tamponades the bleeding. The provider can also place a shallow figure-of-8 or purse string stitch just below the skin surface to aid in hemostasis. It is important to avoid placing the suture too deep as this can cause inadvertent fistula ligation. During this process, an assistant applies pressure just proximal and distal to the bleeding site to stop blood flow so the sutures can be placed. If these methods fail to achieve hemostasis, apply a tourniquet proximal to the fistula and tighten it until bleeding stops and the radial pulse is lost. This signifies complete occlusion of arterial inflow to the fistula. Tourniquet use should be limited to 3 hours or less, since limb ischemia beyond this timepoint is associated with permanent neuromuscular damage. Regardless of the method used for initial hemostasis, the patient is at risk for repeat hemorrhage, hematoma formation, vessel stenosis, and thrombosis. They should be evaluated by a vascular surgeon as soon as possible. Definitive Management Definitive management depends on etiology of each case, and there are a variety of interventions that can be pursued (i.e. aneurysmorrhaphy for aneurysmal bleeding) If skin erosion over the conduit is present, it should be assumed that the AV access is infected and emergency intervention should be pursued. A jump graft can be placed through with healthy tissue. A covered stent could be introduced through a separate percutaneous puncture site Finally, coagulopathy can be addressed by administering cryoprecipitate, DDAVP, erythropoietin, estrogen, tranexamic acid. Aneurysms and Pseudoaneurysms Definition and Etiology Aneurysms involve all three layers of the vessel wall and they develop due to hemodynamic changes causing remodeling of the vein wall in an AV fistula. This is necessary for vein maturation, but becomes problematic if the post-anastomotic vein continues to dilate and becomes aneurysmal. Aneurysms can also occur at anastomosis sites due to technical aspects of the surgery. Pseudoaneurysms only involve some layers of the vessel wall caused by repeated puncture for hemodialysis. Both aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms can enlarge due to venous outflow stenosis causing increased intraluminal pressures. Both true aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms can lead to overlying skin erosion and subsequent hemorrhage, pain, AV access dysfunction, and cannulation difficulties. Dialysis cannulation should be avoided at the aneurysmal sites to prevent bleeding complications. Diagnosis They can be diagnosed on ultrasound, which also provide information on flow rates, presence inflow/outflow/stenoses, and vessel diameters. Indications for Treatment Treatment is indicated for aneurysms that are rapidly expanding or ulcerating through the skin surface. These are at high risk for rupture and hemorrhage, which is life-threatening. Treatment is also indicated when the aneurysm occurs at the anastomotic site of the AV fistula, the patient has a cosmetic concern, cannulation becomes difficult, there is concern for infection, or the patient has high-output heart failure that could be exacerbated by high flow through the fistula. Treatment is not indicated in asymptomatic aneurysms, regardless of their size. True aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are not prone to spontaneous rupture. Treatment Options Aneurysmorrhaphy is the most common treatment. It involves the resection of the aneurysmal vein wall to restore a normal diameter and removal of excess skin. Anastomosis is performed along the lateral wall to prevent issues with cannulation along the suture line. Aneurysm resection with interposition grafting is also possible. If multiple aneurysmal segments require treatment, staging their repairs can allow for continuation of dialysis without needing to place a temporary dialysis catheter. AV access ligation is an appropriate alternative to AV access salvage in certain situations but usually requires excision of the aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm due to the potential to develop thrombophlebitis and the cosmetic appearance of the thrombosed segment. If there is concern for an infected pseudoaneurysm or aneurysm, surgery should include removal of all infected material. References 1. Al-Balas A, Almehmi A, Varma R, Al-Balas H, Allon M.

Send Me a Message! What happens when the mental health system fails those that need it most? In this raw, unfiltered episode, I take you into the depths of my ongoing battle with a mental healthcare approach that seems more interested in medication guess-work than actual measures for recovery.I'm currently taking seven different medications – heavy-duty pharmaceuticals that should, theoretically, be providing relief from my complex mental health conditions. Yet despite this chemical cocktail, my symptoms continue to worsen. My frustration is palpable as I recount my recent psychiatric appointment where my request to safely taper off medications under supervision was dismissed, replaced instead with simply swapping one medication for another.The consequences of inadequate treatment have now spilled into my work life. I've been stripped of my forklift operator role – the one area where I felt most competent and found respite from my social anxiety. This loss represents the real-world impact of a mental health system that keeps failing those who need it most. And this could only be the start.What makes this situation particularly disappointing is my willingness to try anything – even considering ECT or extended hospital admissions – just to get proper help. When someone describes themselves as "the most willing patient" who is willing to try anything, yet cannot access appropriate care despite years of advocacy, we must question how our mental health services are prioritised and delivered.For anyone navigating complex mental health challenges or supporting someone who is, this episode offers validation that you're not alone in your struggle. The path to proper treatment shouldn't be this difficult, but together we can continue advocating for better approaches. --Follow my journey through the chaos of mental illness and the hard-fought lessons learned along the way.Lived experience is at the heart of this podcast — every episode told through my own lens, with raw honesty and zero filter.This is a genuine and vulnerable account of how multiple psychological disorders have shaped my past and continue to influence my future.Support the showYou can follow me on Instagram: @elliot.t.waters, and the show on Facebook!

Managing sinus perforations requires careful patient education and techniques. Different instruments can yield varying results in tooth extractions. Erupted teeth can sometimes be more challenging than impacted ones. Communication with patients about their symptoms is crucial for diagnosis. Using the right instruments can significantly ease the extraction process. Immediate implants require careful consideration of the extraction technique. Dry socket management involves both physical treatment and patient reassurance. Understanding the anatomy and potential complications is key for successful surgeries. Continuous learning and adaptation are essential in oral surgery. Innovative pain management techniques can enhance patient comfort. Patient responsibility is crucial in preventing complications post-surgery. Effective communication can mitigate patient concerns about post-operative issues.

BUFFALO, NY — August 14, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 7, of Aging (Aging-US) on July 3, 2025, titled “Frailty associates with respiratory exacerbations and mortality in the COPDGene cohort.” In this study, led by first author Eleanor Kate Phillips from Brigham and Women's Hospital and corresponding author Dawn L. DeMeo from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, researchers investigated how frailty impacts lung health and survival in individuals with a history of cigarette smoking. They found that frailty raises the risk of lung attacks and death, even in smokers with preserved lung function. This result shows why all current and former smokers should be checked for frailty. Frailty is a condition that makes the body more vulnerable to illness, especially in older adults. This study focused on more than 2,600 adults with a history of heavy smoking, many of whom showed no signs of lung damage on standard tests. At the second follow-up visit, participants were categorized as robust, prefrail, or frail and followed for about three years. Researchers tracked how often they experienced respiratory attacks, such as episodes of severe coughing or breathlessness, and whether they survived during that period. “COPDGene is a cohort study of individuals aged 45–80 with a minimum 10 pack-year smoking history.” The results showed that people who were frail had a three- to five-fold higher chance of developing serious or frequent respiratory attacks compared to those who were robust. These risks were not limited to people with chronic lung disease. In fact, many frail participants with normal lung function still faced a significantly higher chance of lung attacks and death. Even those in the “prefrail” stage, a milder form of frailty, were more likely to experience health complications. The research team also found that frailty was associated with an accelerated pace of biological aging, measured using a DNA-based test called DunedinPACE. This supports the idea that frailty may reflect deeper biological changes in the body that go beyond what traditional lung function tests can detect. These findings challenge the idea that standard lung tests can rule out future respiratory complications in people with a history of smoking. Altogether, the study shows that simple frailty checks could help identify early health problems, allowing for timely interventions that may prevent hospitalizations and potentially save lives. The study suggests that frailty screening may be a valuable tool in public health efforts to reduce respiratory disease and improve outcomes for aging adults.

Today, after a brief discussion on the recent deaths of Ozzy Osbourne and Malcolm Jamal-Warner, Asif and Ali discuss the career and complicated life of Hulk Hogan (7:15). They guys start off by discussing when they first heard of Hogan. They then go over his meteoric rise to become the most famous professional wrestler of all time. They then discuss his controversies including videos of Hogan using racist language and the Gawker trial, and the ongoing repercussions of these events. Hogan had a history of anabolic steroid use and died of cardiac arrest and so in the second half of the episode, Ali asks Asif about the heart complications of anabolic steroid use (34:30). He talks about how these steroids “build up” tissues and muscles and result in masculine-like effects (androgenization). He discusses how common anabolic steroid use is and how it has been linked to heart disease and heart failure in particular. Asif goes over the common symptoms that this type of heart failure would present with. He then goes over the testing that should be done as well as the treatment (mainly stopping steroid use).

In this podcast, I share the summary of a project I worked on almost 20 years, but is still relevant today. A grant was awarded to the Cedar Rapids (IA) community to study anticoagulation management using Lean and Six Sigma. One of the key analysis performed in the project was a Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (R&R) study. We wanted to determine if blood samples taken from a patient on warfarin have the same International Normalized Ratio (INR) results when analyzed in different labs (reproducibility) and when analyzed multiple times in the same lab (repeatability). Results showed a statistically significant difference among labs. The therapeutic range for INR is typically 2.0 to 3.0, yet the data showed a difference in INR of 0.5 among labs on a small sample of 10 warfarin patients, almost 50 percent of the range. By the way, this entire podcast was spoken by my AI voice created by Eleven Labs.

It's 2 a.m. The on-call resident's voice is shaky. The CT shows an 18cm abdominal aortic aneurysm with a Type 1B endoleak. There's gas in the sac, fluid in the belly, and the patient has a defibrillator on both sides of his chest. Is it a rupture? A graft infection? An aortoenteric fistula? All of the above? You're the vascular surgeon, what do you do? This episode dives deep into decision-making when EVAR fails, when infection strikes, and when the patient might not survive a definitive repair. Let's talk about what happens when clinical textbooks meet real-world chaos. Hosts: · Christian Hadeed -PGY 4 General Surgery, Brookdale Hospital Medical Center · Paul Haser -Division chief, Vascular Surgery, Brookdale Hospital Medical Center · Andrew Harrington, Vascular surgery, Brookdale Hospital Medical Center · Lucio Flores, Vascular surgery, Brookdale Hospital Medical Center Learning objectives: · Understand the clinical implications and management of late EVAR complications, including Type 1B endoleak and aortoenteric fistula. · Explore the decision-making process in critically ill patients with multiple comorbidities and infected aortic grafts. · Compare endovascular vs open surgical approaches in the setting of infected AAA, and when each is appropriate. · Recognize the role of multidisciplinary collaboration in complex vascular cases. · Discuss the ethical considerations and goals-of-care planning in high-risk, potentially terminal vascular patients. · Highlight the importance of long-term surveillance after EVAR and the consequences of noncompliance.
