Podcasts about corticosteroids

Story at-a-glance Corticosteroids are widely used in medicine, but their safety has long been questioned, with more and more dangers being discovered Understanding the effects of the body's natural corticosteroids explains many of the common side effects from synthetic steroids like diabetes, fractures, and tissue loss Steroids exemplify a common criticism of modern medicine — treating symptoms rather than addressing the root cause can lead to far more severe chronic health issues While they are frequently misused, in some cases, steroids can also be lifesaving, hence requiring knowledge of their appropriate uses Superior natural and conventional alternatives to steroid therapy now exist, reducing the justification for using these unsafe drugs

Pain is complex and multifactorial, making diagnosis challenging. The traditional impingement model is being challenged in favor of a broader understanding of shoulder pain. Imaging often does not influence management decisions for rotator cuff issues. Corticosteroid injections provide only short-term relief and can have negative effects on tendon quality. Exercise-based management is crucial for effective rehabilitation of shoulder pain. The rotator cuff tendons are positional and strain less than energy storage tendons. Rotator cuff tears are common and can exist without pain or dysfunction. Age is the biggest risk factor for developing rotator cuff pathology. Understanding the tipping point to pain is essential for effective treatment. Rotator cuff tears are often associated with poor vascular supply and degeneration over time. Metabolic factors like diabetes and smoking can increase the risk of rotator cuff tears. Exercise can be as effective as surgery for massive rotator cuff tears. Expectations of recovery significantly influence rehabilitation outcomes. Education about the commonality of tendon tears can help reduce patient anxiety. Pain during exercise can be tolerated up to a certain level without adverse effects. Sleeping positions can impact shoulder pain and should be modified accordingly. Adjunct treatments like shockwave therapy and corticosteroids have limited long-term benefits. Tendon stiffness is important for efficient force transfer, but its role in pain management is still being studied. Understanding the psychological aspects of pain can enhance recovery from tendon injuries.

Ever wonder if the “asthma shot” from the ER, or those go-to steroid pills for your asthma flares, might be doing more harm than good? Dr. Dipa Sheth joins us to discuss the common pitfalls of relying too heavily on oral corticosteroids (OCS), also known as oral steroids. We unpack why these systemic medications should generally be reserved for short-term use. She also shares how improving asthma control can help you avoid frequent steroid use in the first place. Although oral steroids can effectively treat asthma flare-ups in emergency settings, overuse poses significant risks, from adrenal insufficiency to osteoporosis. We dig into ways patients can proactively manage their asthma, reduce ER visits, and talk to healthcare providers about preventive treatments (like inhalers or biologics for asthma) that keep inflammation in check without the side effects of frequent steroid use. Note: Although we discuss oral corticoid steroids, they can also be given as injections or via IV drip for asthma. We would also like to refer to them as systemic steroids as they impact the entire body, unlike inhaled steroids, which target the airways and lungs.  What we cover in our episode about oral steroid overuse Understanding Oral Corticosteroids (OCS): Learn what these steroids (often called the “asthma shot” in the ER) are and how they can help with severe flare-ups. Why Overusing Steroids Can Be Risky: Discover the potential long-term side effects of relying on systemic steroids (pills, injections, or IV), from adrenal insufficiency and osteoporosis to more frequent infections. Short-Term Fix vs. Lasting Relief for Asthma Care: Learn how urgent care or ER visits may mask an under-managed condition and why seeing a specialist can improve asthma control. Safer Alternatives to OCS: Explore inhaled corticosteroids, biologics, and other preventive treatments that target asthma at its source, reducing the need for frequent steroids. Taking Control and Reducing ER Visits: Get practical strategies for working with your healthcare provider to minimize steroid use, prevent flare-ups, and break free from the cycle of repeated steroid courses.

When a baby is born prematurely, their lungs may not be fully developed, leading to respiratory issues. Antenatal corticosteroids, like betamethasone and dexamethasone, are administered to pregnant women at risk of preterm delivery to boost the baby's lung maturity and reduce complications such as Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS). These steroids help the baby produce surfactant, which keeps the lungs open and improves breathing after birth. Dr. Rachel Pasquesi will discuss how these medications work and their benefits.

Podcast Show Note Summary: Episode Title: "New Guidelines for Corticosteroid Injections in Chronic Pain Management" This podcast is a discussion about the recent review article Use of corticosteroids for adult chronic pain interventions: sympathetic and peripheral nerve blocks, trigger point injections - guidelines from the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, the American Academy of Pain Medicine, the American Society of Interventional Pain Physicians, the International Pain and Spine Intervention Society, and the North American Spine Society In this episode, we dive into the recently published guidelines on the use of corticosteroid injections for managing chronic pain, developed by the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, along with several other prominent pain societies. These guidelines address the safety and efficacy of corticosteroid injections for sympathetic and peripheral nerve blocks, as well as trigger point injections. Key Discussion Points: Background and Need for Guidelines: Overview of potential adverse events from corticosteroid injections, such as increased blood glucose levels, decreased bone mineral density, and suppression of the hypothalamic–pituitary axis. Importance of using lower doses of corticosteroids, which studies have found to be just as effective as higher doses. Development of the Guidelines: The guidelines were approved by multiple pain societies and structured into three categories: sympathetic and peripheral nerve blocks, joint injections, and neuraxial injections. Extensive literature review and consensus-building through a modified Delphi process. Key Recommendations: The addition of corticosteroids to local anesthetics is recommended for certain nerve blocks, such as the greater occipital nerve block for cluster headaches and ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve blocks for post-herniorrhaphy pain. Corticosteroid addition is not recommended for sympathetic nerve blocks, greater occipital nerve blocks for migraines, and pudendal nerve blocks for pudendal neuralgia. Imaging guidance (ultrasound or fluoroscopy) improves the safety and accuracy of certain procedures. Efficacy and Safety: Detailed analysis of various studies on the effectiveness of corticosteroid injections for different types of chronic pain. Discussion on the minimal benefit of corticosteroids in trigger point injections and the potential risks associated with their use. Clinical Implications: How these guidelines can assist clinicians in making informed decisions regarding corticosteroid use in chronic pain management. Emphasis on the need for personalized treatment plans based on individual patient characteristics and clinical data. Future Directions: Identification of gaps in the current research and the need for well-designed studies to further assess the benefits and risks of corticosteroid injections. Join us as we explore these comprehensive guidelines and their potential impact on improving chronic pain management practices.

The question of whether and how to treat preterm infants with postnatal corticosteroids for the management of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, which is a chronic lung problem due to prematurity, has been a neonatologist's quandary for decades. In August 2023, Cochrane Neonatal published a network meta-analysis on the use of postnatal corticosteroids for its prevention. In this podcast, Roger Soll of Cochrane Neonatal, talks with the lead author Susanne Hay, an attending neonatologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in the US, about her team's work.

On this podcast episode, I cover risedronate pharmacology, adverse effects, drug interactions, and much more. There is a strict administration procedure with risedronate which is designed to reduce adverse effects and enhance absorption. I discuss this in the podcast. Many medications may cause osteoporosis and may precipitate treatment with risedronate. Corticosteroids and excessive thyroid hormone replacement are two examples. Patients should remain upright (sitting or standing) for at least 30 minutes following administration to reduce the risk of esophagitis and ulceration.

In episode 566, Mike and James invite Émélie back yet again to the podcast and the topic is the balance of benefits to harms of using corticosteroids in adults or children for atopic dermatitis.

Injecting bioactive substances into the knee is common in orthopaedic practice, and recently it has been shown to mitigate risk factors for posttraumatic osteoarthritis. Therefore, understanding the influence of these injections on postoperative infection rate is imperative.   In conclusion, postinjury and preoperative aspiration and CSI is a safe intervention that can be used before ACLR. Future studies with larger sample sizes, longer patient follow-ups, and multiple surgeons would be helpful to both better understand infection risk and better identify the influence of CSI on preventing posttraumatic osteoarthritis.     Click here to read the article.

Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis are autoimmune diseases that are both categorized as forms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). This week, Dr. Prather talks about his "very high success rate" of patients going into remission from their symptoms without pharmaceuticals. In this episode, find out:—The difference between Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. And how patients can actually have BOTH at the same time.—The connection between Antibiotics and the rise of Inflammatory Bowel Disease. And the genetic component that increases your chances of having Inflammatory Bowel Disease. —The symptoms of Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which are "not fun".—How the Disease Care approach is to prescribe Antibiotics and Corticosteroids that are known to actually CAUSE Inflammatory Bowel Disease.—The Structure-Function Approach Dr. Prather uses for Inflammatory Bowel Disease that focuses on building up the body's immune system and balancing your gut health.—The diagnostics that are "critical" for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. And why Dr. Prather refuses to treat a patient with Inflammatory Bowel Disease unless they get a G.I. Stool Kit first.—Why a Hair Analysis is important to identify heavy metal toxicities in an IBD patient. —How an Ulcerative Colitis researcher called Dr. Prather to ask his "secret" after seeing several of Dr. Prather's patients who had their conditions reversed. And how the researcher was actually DISAPPOINTED in Dr. Prather's answer because each patient is treated with a unique protocol tailored for them. —The Nutraceuticals important for Inflammatory Bowel Disease and how it is "guaranteed" someone with IBD has "very, very strong" nutritional deficiencies. —The Herbals that are "essential" for IBD and how Holistic Integration can find the ones that work best for each patient. Plus, the Dietary issues relating to Inflammatory Bowel Disease, including the dangers of Gluten and the importance of Fiber as a "cure" for IBD.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com
