Er wordt al jaren hard gewerkt aan een bloedtest voor het diagnosticeren van Alzheimer. Onderzoekers van een Zweedse Universiteit hebben één van de reeds ontwikkelde testen nu nader onderzocht. Hun conclusie: dit werkt evengoed als een ruggenprik of hersenscan. Omdat een ruggenprik invasief en onprettig is en een scan vaak enorm kostbaar, is de hoop dat een bloedtest een makkelijk en goedkoop alternatief is voor het stellen van de diagnose. Zeker als we ooit richting bevolkingsonderzoeken willen bewegen. Het uitvoerig bestuderen van ontwikkelde bloedtesten was nog moeilijk, omdat er vaak niet genoeg testen beschikbaar waren. Experts reageren hoopvol op een onderzoek waarin dat wel gelukt lijkt te zijn. Hierin werd gekeken naar een bestaande bloedtest die de aanwezigheid van het eiwit p-tau217 aantoont. Volgens de onderzoekers lukt het met de test evengoed als met een ruggenprik en zelfs beter dan met een scan om aan te tonen of er sprake van Alzheimer is. Het onderzoek zelf vind je hier: Diagnostic Accuracy of a Plasma Phosphorylated Tau 217 Immunoassay for Alzheimer Disease Pathology Er werd onder andere hier over geschreven: Blood test could revolutionise diagnosis of Alzheimer's, experts say en hier New blood test that screens for Alzheimer's may be a step closer to reality, study suggests.

To close or not to close - that is the question! Internal hernias following bariatric surgery can be a vexing source of delayed postoperative morbidity. Join Drs. Matthew Martin, Kunoor Jain-Spangler, Adrian Dan, and Vincent Cheng for this EXCELLENT Journal Review in Bariatric Surgery. Article #1: Stenberg 2023 - Long-term Safety and Efficacy of Closure of Mesenteric Defects in Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Surgery Two mesenteric defects are created during Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RNYGB) Petersen's Defect Jejuno-jejunostomy mesenteric defect Consensus does not exist regarding the standard of care for mesenteric defect closure (e.g., closure of one or both defects, material used for closure). Risks of leaving defects open: internal herniation with or without bowel ischemia Risks of closing defects Kinking the bowel (especially near the jejunojejunostomy) leading to obstruction Chronic abdominal pain This article discusses a randomized controlled trial of obese patients undergoing bariatric RNYGB Randomized into two groups: a closure group and a non-closure group Followed patients for 10 years with 95-96% follow up rate Results analyzed using a Cox proportional hazards regression that included risk factors like BMI, total weight loss at 1 year after surgery, and the other Highlighted outcomes Within the first 30 postop days, there was a higher rate of SBO in the closure group (1.3%) compared to the non-closure group (0.2%). This was attributed to kinking of the jejunojejunostomy After 30 postop days and up to 10 years, reoperation rates for SBO were higher in the non-closure group (14.9%) compared to the closure group (7.8%). This trend was consistent regarding each site of mesenteric defect. No significant differences between the two groups regarding chronic opioid use as a metric of chronic abdominal pain. Article #2: Nawas 2022 - The Diagnostic Accuracy of Abdominal Computed Tomography in Diagnosing Internal Herniation Following Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery Unless there is an indication to immediately operate on a RNYGB patient in whom internal herniation is suspected, computed tomography (CT) is the recommended diagnostic test This article is a meta-analysis of 20 studies published between 2007 and 2020 that analyzed the accuracy of CT or detecting internal hernias in adult patients who underwent RNYGB for morbid obesity. A collective total of 1,637 patients were included. Accuracy was determined by comparing diagnostic CT with exploratory surgery or the combination of negative CT and a negative 90 days follow-up Internal herniation was defined as presence of herniated small bowel with or without obstruction or ischemia through a visible opening at the mesenteric defect Results Pooled sensitivity of CT was 82% and specificity was 85% Positive predictive value of CT was 83% and negative predictive value was 86% CT signs with the highest sensitivity (sensitivity of finding) Venous congestion (79%) Swirl sign (78%) Mesenteric edema (67%) 15% risk of an internal hernia even with a negative CT scan In conclusion, CT can provide useful information, but these are just additional data points to consider in the overall evaluation of a patient. Surgeons should still have a low threshold for diagnostic laparoscopy even with negative CT findings If you liked this episode, check out other bariatric episodes here: https://behindtheknife.org/podcast-category/bariatric/ Please visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a devastating and highly prevalent condition, affecting 10% of people over 65 years of age, and increasing in prevalence as the population ages. Given the heavy economic and social burdens of AD, major emphasis has been placed on finding disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) that can address the underlying pathophysiology and prevent, delay, slow, or halt the inexorable decline of AD. Now, after almost two decades without a new AD treatment, recent advances in DMTs, including the accelerated approval from the FDA of two amyloid-targeting therapies (ATTs) and a third in late-stage development, have opened the door to the possibility of reductions in disease progression and improved patient outcomes. In order for these treatments to be successful, initiation in the prodromal or early symptomatic stages of AD is critical. Fortunately, significant advances have been made in the development and validation of molecular imaging techniques that may aid in an early diagnosis. It is therefore imperative that clinicians remain aware of the evolving role of molecular imaging tools (eg, amyloid PET, FDG PET, tau PET) and PET quantification techniques in the early diagnosis of AD, and are prepared to integrate these diagnostic tools into clinical practice. At a recent PeerView educational event, a panel of AD experts illustrated how to integrate validated and emerging neuroimaging biomarkers and quantitative measures into clinical practice to facilitate AD diagnosis. Through a case-based discussion, the faculty offered learners an in-depth look at the complex diagnostic challenges associated with early AD and mild cognitive impairment, and provided practical guidance on effectively and appropriately incorporating these strategies into patient care. You can now watch this on-demand version of the event! Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Employ molecular imaging tools to optimize the timely and accurate neuropathological diagnosis of AD; and Apply quantitative analysis to augment the visual interpretation of PET imaging in AD

Through a case-based discussion, the faculty offered learners an in-depth look at the complex diagnostic challenges associated with early AD and mild cognitive impairment, and provided practical guidance on effectively and appropriately incorporating these strategies into patient care. You can now watch this on-demand version of the event! Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Employ molecular imaging tools to optimize the timely and accurate neuropathological diagnosis of AD; and Apply quantitative analysis to augment the visual interpretation of PET imaging in AD
Today we have a special guest, Dr. Joel Topf, board-certified nephrologist and medical educator extraordinaire. Our listeners will likely recognize Dr. Topf from his prolific tweeting @Kidney_boy, as well as his numerous appearances on the Curbsiders podcast. He is a co-founder of the NephJC on Twitter, and host and founder of the NephJC podcast Freely Filtered. He is also host of the podcast Channel Your Enthusiasm, a deep dive monthly recap of the nephrology textbook Clinical Physiology of Acid Base and Electrolyte Disorders by Dr. Burton Rose (who, incidentally, is the creator of the original UpToDate). Dr. Topf wrote his own book on fluids, electrolytes and acid-base homeostasis. He's the co-editor for the fourth edition of Nephrology Secrets and the first edition of The Handbook of Critical Care Nephrology. Dr. Topf joined us to talk about a new paper he co-authored on osmotic demyelination syndrome and hyponatremia. I'm also joined by Dr. Mita Hoppenfeld, hospitalist at the University of Utah, to talk about a new DOAC vs warfarin trial in On-X aortic valves, whether it's better to avoid hypertension or hypotension around time of surgery, and the diagnostic accuracy of CT abdomen scans without contrast.

Nathan Carlson is a physical therapist, coach, and business owner based out of Kansas City. He specializes in the management of bone stress injuries, managing the high school and collegiate runner, and implementing resistance training with endurance athletes. Nathan teaches nationally and internationally on these topics. Nathan has two digital resources - A Guidebook to Running After a Stress Fracture and A Guidebook to Navigating High School Running. In this episode, we have an in-depth conversation on bone stress injuries. Our conversation was packed with so much valuable information that we broke it down into two episodes. In part one, we discuss bone physiology, factors that contribute to bone stress injuries, clinical perils, and radiographic tools for diagnosis. Bone stress injuries are one of the most complex and frustrating injuries for runners. After our discussion with Nathan, we hope that you will have a better understanding of the training, nutrition, and metabolic factors that need to be considered with diagnosing and treating these injuries. What we talked about: 3:10- Introduction to Nathan 6:40- Weight lifting for high school athletes 8:25- Defining a bone stress injury 11:00- Differences between a stress reaction and stress fracture and what causes them 22:05- Obtaining a more in-depth background of an athlete to learn more about the injury 25:45- Diagnosis and prognosis of bone stress injuries 38:05- Testing and imaging for bone stress injuries Show notes: Nathan's website Nathan on Instagram References: Bergman AG, Fredericson M, Ho C, Matheson GO.

Today we talk to one of our mentors, Valerie Carter, about her experience as a neuro PT who had the unique opportunity to study the effects of exercise on people with Parkinson's by helping her mom live very well for 30 years with PD. Valerie became really interested in utilizing the most sensitive outcome measures which led her down the road of studying backwards walking. Valerie shares why you should use the 3 Meter Backward Walking Test (3MBWT), exactly how to implement it, what the cutoff scores for falls are for the elderly and for people with PD, and more!
