Many modern Southeast Asian countries often try to develop a thriving academic and research environment as an indicator of development. But how free are scholars and academics to pursue topics that challenge the interests of elites and those in power? The type of threats can range from extrajudicial killings to a lack of funding and job insecurity for scholars. How do academics navigate serving as part of civil society, while also being viewed as institutes that serve the state's interests? - Disclosure: Dr. Sol Iglesias is married to New Naratif's Co-founder PJ Thum. New Naratif declares that Dr. Sol is appearing on this episode in her capacity as a researcher in political violence in the Philippines.

In part 1 I talked about information that was brought to me by two senior residents who wanted people to know that they are being invited to “educational summits” that are actually being run by doctors with massive undisclosed ties to the pharmaceutical companies that make the drugs that are recommended in the summits. I did some digging around the company that is behind this to try to get some information about what's going on.The company that created both of these summits is PCMG, Primary Care Metabolic Group. Their tagline is “Serving to Educate Primary Care Clinicians on Metabolic Issues.” The words “Evidence Based Medicine” appear prominently in the banner at the top of each page. Their homepage states:The Primary Care Metabolic Group (PCMG) is a national educational initiative providing comprehensive metabolic disease resources. PCMG's mission is to provide an easily accessible repository of metabolic disease information for primary care clinicians that includes disease management and raising standards of patient care through the dissemination of best practices and educational information.Their ”services” include·         Monthly metabolic disease news articles from our partners·         Opportunities for FREE CME·         Member discounts for upcoming CME conferences and summitsAs a quick aside, CME stands for Continuing Medical Education. Doctors must obtain a certain number of CMEs in order to maintain their state licensure. The number of CME hours and requirements as to topics varies by state.  Full disclosure, many of the workshops/talks I give for physicians provide CMEs. None, as far as I know, has ever been sponsored by a pharmaceutical company and I don't receive any money from the pharmaceutical industry.Back to PCMG. The word “partners” struck me in the first bullet point. What do they mean by “partners?” As I scrolled down the page I see that they are welcoming a new “collaborator” – the Ob*sity Action Coalition. It says “This national nonprofit coalition is fighting to eliminate weight bias and discrimination, elevating the conversation of weight and its impacts on health, and offering a community of support to people affected. OAC also offers resources for clinicians, as well as a database of clinicians who treat patients with ob*sity.”It doesn't say that this “national nonprofit coalition” has Novo Nordisk (manufacturer of the weight loss drug Wegovy and one of the leading pharma companies price gouging on insulin) as its main funder, with the vast majority of its funding coming from pharmaceutical companies and weight loss surgery interests. It doesn't say that their plan to “eliminate weight bias” is focused on pushing for insurance coverage of their dangerous drugs and surgeries, or that they are trying to sell the “we don't want to stigmatize fat people, we just want to make as much money as we can trying to eradicate them from the earth” line that is not, in any way, an anti-stigma approach.After reading the entire website, I called PCMG to ask what they meant by “partners” as well as who was funding the free and discounted CME training.I spoke with Nora Williams. I opened by explaining that I was writing an article about CME trainings and I had a couple quick questions about how their trainings were structured. She interrupted me to say that she was “suspicious” because she didn't know who I was, or what outlet I was writing for, or what my story was about (in my defense, she hadn't let me get that far.) She told me that if I sent her an email she would “consider it.” For me, this has the ring of a company that knows they are involved in things that they would rather not have brought to light, but of course, that's just my gut feeling. I emailed her after our call in the afternoon of 1/7/23 and am still awaiting a response.However, the email that she gave me led me to PCEConsortium.orgIn searching, I had already found Primary Care Respiratory Group – US (PCRG) which has a website that is almost an exact copy of PCMG, except replacing metabolic with respiratory. The Consortium site has a long list of free CME workshops.I wanted to look into their materials, so I started by downloading their free CME “Common Questions on Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) in Primary Care” I am not an expert in CGM, but I do a lot of work around weight-neutral blood sugar management and so it's an area where I felt confident that I had enough knowledge to understand the paper.The author is Eden Miller, DO (who you may recognize as having been a speaker at both the free summits and having taken $1,429,227.40 in industry payments.) Miller is the co-founder and CEO of Diabetes Nation - Diabetes and Ob*sity Care, and in this publication disclosed that she serves on the advisory board and speakers bureau for Abbott Diabetes, Boehringer Ingelheim, Eli Lilly, and Novo Nordisk; on the advisory board for AstraZeneca, Merck, Plenity, and Sanofi Aventis; and does research for Abbott Diabetes and Pendulum Pharmaceuticals.Here are some things that I noticed:Two of the devices that the paper specifically mentions are made by Abbot Laboratories (for whom Miller is a speakers bureau member and does research.)In the section “Which patients will benefit from its use” Miller (who, again, takes money from a CGM device manufacturer) writes “This author does not feel there are any poor candidates for CGM as all people with diabetes could benefit on some level from the data and insight it provides.”That struck me as odd. Again, I'm not an expert but it would be…surprising… if this device wasn't contraindicated for anyone. A quick search of Abbott's website (remember this is a company for which Dr. Miller does research and is on the speakers bureau) explains that you “should not use the [CGM] system” for people less than 18 years of age, critically ill patients, pregnant women or patients on dialysis,  and that the system has not been evaluated on patients who use other implanted devices. Other studies and articles mention things like technology aversion, medications that interfere with CGM, certain mental health diagnoses, patient motivation, and other contraindications.So, there are, in fact, poor candidates for CGM. I would suggest that this is a problem whether Dr. Miller was ignorant of this or purposely left it out. Remember, this is Continuing Medical Education – doctors are supposed to be able to rely on this information in their practice, so telling them that there aren't any poor candidates, when there very much are is a failure of that education and a danger to patients.There is a section for “Key elements to obtaining Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance,” complete with billing codes. It also mentions that “In a recent comparison of retail costs, Abbott's FreeStyle Libre had the lowest monthly cost…”The conclusion states “CGM is quickly emerging as a standard of care for many patients with diabetes.”To back this statement up, Miller cites a study by John B. Welsh, PhD and Roy Thomas, PharmD. A quick look at the disclosures for that study finds that both are employees of Dexcom, the manufacturer of the Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitor.You have to wonder: To what extent is this CME providing evidence-based information, and to what extent is this simply an extension of Dr. Miller's duties as a member of Abbott's Speakers Bureau?But maybe this one was just a fluke, right? While I was waiting on the reply from Nora that never came, I took a quick look at some of the other free CME on the consortium's page. I definitely found a pattern of CME that was recommending products that were part of the author's disclosures. A couple of quick examples:Title: Improving Detection and Management of Anemia in CKDAuthors: Steven Fishbane, MD; Stephen Brunton, MD, FAAFPDisclosures: Dr. Fishbane: Consultant and does research for Akebia and AstraZenec aand is a consultant for FibroGen and GlaxoSmithKline.Dr. Brunton:  Advisory board and speakers bureau for Abbott, AstraZeneca, Bayer, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Sanofi, and on the advisory board for Xeris and Pendulum Therapeutics.Summary: “HIF-PHIs are investigational agents on the horizon that, if approved, will offer patients an oral option to treat anemia in CKD”A quick search found that AstraZeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, and Akebia are all developing HIF-PHIs.Title: The Role of Eggs in Healthy DietsAuthor: Maria Luz Fernandez, PhDKey takeaways: Eggs can be part of a healthy diet, Epidemiologic evidence and clinical trials have found no links between egg intake and increased risk for heart disease, Eggs are a good source of high-quality protein, Eggs, in addition to numerous vitamins and minerals, contain compounds including choline, lutein, and zeaxanthin with functions that go beyond nutrition as they protect against chronic disease.Disclosure: Dr. Fernandez has a research grant from The American Egg Board.Sponsorship: “This [CME] activity is sponsored by Primary Care Education Consortium and supported by funding from The American Egg Board.”There is language in some of PCMG's CMEs (though, interestingly, not in the egg-related CME) that claims that conflicts of interest have been “mitigated,” but is that even truly possible?Regardless of how ethical the authors might be, there are undeniable conflicts of interest when those who are creating education about pharmaceuticals are also paid advocates for those pharmaceutical companies.At some point, simply disclosing affiliations is not enough. I believe that we are, in fact, way past that point. There is literally nothing to prevent the pharmaceutical industry (not to mention weight loss surgery interests, medical device manufacturers, etc.) from simply putting a stable of doctors on their payroll and letting them use their credentials as the ultimate sales tools, including by engaging with companies that convert pharmaceutical industry marketing messages into CMEs that are delivered to doctors and other healthcare practitioners who think that they are getting education about best practices and educational information. It's similar to what we've seen in the media and it is a dangerous disservice to healthcare practitioners and patients.I want to, again, give thanks and credit to Dr. Clarissa O'Conor and Dr. Will Ward, who originally reached out to me, for all of the work they did researching this. They are in the middle of intense training and still finding the time to do extra work to try to get the education (free from pharma industry influence,) that they deserve.And we should all have their backs - asking questions, doing research, pointing out these flagrant conflicts of interest and dirty diet industry tactics. Our doctors deserve the best education they can get, not the best education pharmaceutical companies can buy.Did you find this post helpful?

In this episode we discuss genomic testing for prostate cancer. Historically, decision making for the treatment of prostate cancer has been guided by factors such as abnormalities felt by a physician during a prostate examination, the level of the PSA blood test, and the microscopic appearance of cells obtained from a prostate biopsy. More recently however, DNA testing has started to play a larger and larger role. Genetic material obtained from the blood, urine and prostate itself is being analyzed via genetic and genomic testing to help determine whether someone may or may not have significant prostate cancer and whether they need further biopsies or treatment.  But how are these tests actually performed?  What is the difference between genetic and genomic testing?  How reliable are they? And how much value do they actually bring to the decision making process surrounding the treatment of prostate cancer. To answer these questions and many more we turned to a true expert. Dr. Jeffrey Tosoian is an assistant professor of Urology at Vanderbilt University.  He earned his medical degree and Master of Public Health in epidemiology and biostatistical methods for clinical research at Johns Hopkins. He completed residency training in urology at the Johns Hopkins Brady Urological Institute.  During that time, he worked closely with Dr. Bal Carter to describe the Johns Hopkins experience with one of the first programs of monitoring low risk prostate cancer – work that contributed to active surveillance now being a standard of care management. He then completed a fellowship in urologic oncology at the University of Michigan. His research is focused on the development and clinical application of new, non-invasive tests for cancer, including blood-, urine-, and tissue-based biomarkers, as well as novel imaging techniques, to improve the clinical approach to diagnosing and treating genitourinary cancers. Clinically, his practice includes operative and non-operative management of prostate, bladder, kidney, and testicular cancers. He has authored more than 100 publications in high-impact journals including JAMA, JAMA Oncology, and Journal of Clinical Oncology.Disclosure: Dr. Tosoian has a minor equity interest in LynxDx, which commercializes cancer diagnostics, including the urinary MyProstateScore test for high-grade prostate cancer (discussed in the podcast).#prostatecancer #genetictesting #prostate #genomic

Dr. Jhanelle Gray, of the Moffitt Cancer Center and chair of the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting Education Program, highlights must-see sessions that explore strategies to advance equity, innovation, and impact across the global cancer community.  Transcript: ASCO Daily News: Hello and welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I'm Geraldine Carroll, a reporter for ASCO Daily News. Today I'm delighted to welcome Dr. Jhanelle Gray. She is the department chair of thoracic oncology and co-leader of the Molecular Medicine Program at the Moffitt Cancer Center. She's also a professor at the University of South Florida Morsani College of Medicine and chair of the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting Education Program. Dr. Gray will tell us about the hot topics and must-see educational sessions at this year's [ASCO] Annual Meeting. Dr. Gray's full disclosures are available in the show notes and disclosures of all guests on the podcast can be found on our transcripts at asco.org/podcasts. Dr. Gray, it's great to have you on the podcast today. Dr. Jhanelle Gray: Thank you for having me. I am excited to be here with you today and for the opportunity to chat with you about the upcoming 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting and the educational sessions. ASCO Daily News: Well, the theme of the Annual Meeting is advancing equitable cancer care through innovation. Can you tell us how equity and innovation are reflected in the Education Program? And what would you say are the must-see sessions in this year's program? Dr. Jhanelle Gray: I am excited about sharing and hearing the latest advances in our field so we can move toward impact innovation and equity across our global cancer care community. [In] many of the sessions that we have, the attendees will join us either online or in person, and really will help us come together with a common goal of reducing the cancer burden. The presidential theme from Dr. Everett Vokes has really helped us to formulate what these sessions are. A few of them that I think really align with where we want to go for this 2022 ASCO [Annual] Meeting are things such as looking at strategies to advance cancer equity in our cancer clinical trials. We also have sessions such as “Artificial Intelligence in Oncology: The Current Field and Where It Is Headed,” and this touches on our innovation piece. We also have some really great keynote speakers such as a session—our ASCO Town Hall, moderated by Dr. Monica Bertagnolli, a past ASCO president and she'll be talking to us about the future of the conduct of clinical trials after COVID-19. I hope this gives you a sense of the exciting topics we have as we work to identify and address the challenges in this global cancer care field. ASCO Daily News: Thanks. Well, a couple of other sessions that are really trying to address these challenges are 2 joint sessions. So, I'd like to ask you about those. The first one involves ASCO and the American Association for Cancer Research, or AACR. And the second one features ASCO and the European Cancer Organization (ECO). Can you tell us about the topics of these sessions and why you think it's important for participants to see these particular sessions? Dr. Jhanelle Gray: Thank you. That's a great question. And thank you to AACR and ECO for their engagement and collaboration in planning and designing these sessions. We work to ensure that both organization's priorities and expertise are truly represented. The ASCO-AACR joint session is titled, “ASCO/American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Joint Session: The Promise of DNA Damage Response and Repair in Cancer,” and the ASCO-ECO joint session is on HPV vaccination prevention and treatment. These sessions include hot topics in oncology and were planned intentionally with a common approach that is across DNA damage repair and HPV vaccines. I really want the audience to hear: What is the existent data from which we can learn? How do we work to expand upon these gains across various tumor types? What are those key opportunities to expand platforms, and they should include diagnostics and therapeutics across global populations? Overall, I think both of these sessions will help the audience to understand not only what present-day data is, but also learn where these fields are heading in the future. ASCO Daily News: Thank you. Well, the ASCO Voices session is a favorite of the ASCO Annual Meeting. The speakers this year from Nigeria, Ireland, Germany, and the United States will share personal stories focused on equity, global health, and innovation. I've had a chance to interview the speakers and their stories really capture the human spirit and convey a true desire to find innovative ways to improve the lives of patients and survivors. Is this session 1 of your favorites at the [ASCO] Annual Meeting? Dr. Jhanelle Gray: Absolutely. The ASCO Voices is truly a compelling session. It helps to highlight where we should focus in what can seem like a very busy meeting. It helps all of us, including health care professionals, industry partners, caregivers, to take that breath and recenter. Our focus is ultimately the patient, and these personal stories help to crosscut that oncology continuum. We have, of course, chosen those that helped to showcase and support the importance of the presidential theme. And you'll see that many of those have topics focused on issues that are most relevant to global health, innovation, and/or cancer equity. So, congratulations, and looking forward to all of the speakers in this session [and] hearing their talks. ASCO Daily News: Thank you, Dr. Gray. Is there anything else you'd like to add? Before we wrap up the podcast? Do you want to mention maybe some of the sessions that are on top of your list to attend? Dr. Jhanelle Gray: Absolutely. We have also, in addition to the educational session, you'll hear from others throughout these podcasts on the scientific sessions, also obviously looking very much forward to the plenary, looking forward to the award ceremony also. It's just been an absolute pleasure to be working with Dr. Sonali on scientific sessions, as well as obviously Dr. Everett Vokes, our current president. ASCO Daily News: Well, thank you very much, Dr. Gray, for being on the podcast today. And thank you for your work as chair of the 2022 ASCO Annual Meeting Education Program. Dr. Jhanelle Gray: It's been an absolute pleasure to spend time with you today. If I can also take a moment to thank the ASCO staff, just what a phenomenal team and so those that are listening, I look forward to seeing you hopefully some of you at least in person at the meeting. ASCO Daily News: Wonderful! Thanks to our listeners for your time today.

Can electrical current stop seizures, or make seizures less severe? How does it work, and who can benefit?  Dr. Laurent Sheybani interviews Dr. Robert Fisher about deep-brain stimulation for epilepsy.Disclosure: Dr. Fisher is a consultant for Medtronic but receives no compensation for using its deep-brain stimulation devices.Deep-brain stimulation (DBS) is the newest of three types of neuromodulation for epilepsy, and targets a part of the thalamus called the anterior nucleus. In DBS treatment, targeted electrical pulses inhibit  a network in the brain  involved in starting and spreading seizures. This interference is linked with a reduction in the number and/or severity of seizures in some people who haven't found relief with anti-seizure medications.In a randomized, double-blind study of DBS, the SANTE trial , 43% of people had significant reductions in their seizure frequency after one year, and 74% had reductions after 7 years. The treatment also had high patient satisfaction (84% after 7 years).The mechanisms of DBS are still largely unknown, though pre-clinical studies have found synaptogenesis, receptor changes, and changes in gene expression, suggesting the growth or regeneration of neurons. DBS is usually well tolerated, acceptably safe, and associated with improvement in quality of life.Research discussed during the episode:Electrical stimulation of the anterior nucleus of thalamus for treatment of refractory epilepsy (2010) Epilepsia (Fisher R, Salanova V, Witt T, for the SANTE study group)Experience and consensus on stimulation of the anterior nucleus of thalamus for epilepsy (2021) Epilepsia (Fasano A, Eliashiv D, Herman ST, et al.)Closed-loop stimulation of the medial septum terminates epileptic seizures (2021) Brain (Takeuchi Y, Harangozo M, Pedraza L, et al.)Medial septal GABAergic neurons reduce seizure duration upon optogenetic closed-loop stimulation (2021) Brain (Hristova K, Martinez-Gonzalez C, Watson TC, et al.) Other resources:ILAE/YES webinar on neurostimulation with Dr. Robert Fisher (January 2022)This episode was reported by Dr. Laurent Sheybani, and edited and produced by Nancy Volkers.Sharp Waves content is meant for informational purposes only and not as medical or clinical advice.

HOUR 2 Vitamin C - Crucial Building Block for Health-Carolyn Dean MD ND  Vitamin C – Building Block of Health  Over the last few weeks on my radio show, I've been sharing with you what I already knew and have been recommending, what is still being discovered, and what may yet be proven [which falls under the category of what I already knew lol]. The bottom line remains – the immune system is made of cells and we have to keep building healthy cells using the right building blocks. These building blocks are available to you in our Completement Formulas.  This week we are reviewing the value of vitamin C as a building block of health, vitality and well-being. To sum it up, I'll quote Dr. Rhonda Patrick,  an American biomedical scientist, researcher, and entrepreneur. I subscribe to Dr. Patrick's newsletter and was thrilled to see a publication simply titled “Vitamin C”, a 42-page, 20,000-word, up-to-the minute description of the benefits of vitamin C.  Here is how Dr. Patrick begins her paper:  Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient, widely recognized for its antioxidant properties. These properties arise from its potent redox potential due to its capacity to donate electrons to oxidized molecules. Even in small quantities vitamin C can protect critical molecules in the body such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from damage by reactive oxygen species, which are generated during normal metabolism, by active immune cells, and through exposure to toxins and pollutants (e.g., certain chemotherapy drugs and cigarette smoke). The vitamin also plays a critical role as a cofactor – a molecule that assists enzymes in chemical reactions. This dual nature of vitamin C means that it is instrumental in multiple physiological processes, including those involved in the biosynthesis of collagen, carnitine, and catecholamines. As such, vitamin C participates in immune function, wound healing, fatty acid metabolism, neurotransmitter production, and blood vessel formation, as well as other key processes and pathways.  The dual nature of Vitamin C! It's exciting, isn't it, to think about how many benefits you receive as you engage this versatile, essential nutrient?  Getting Vitamin C From Food  Unless you live in a remote community, untouched by the problems of modern farming, it's highly unlikely your local food supply will provide you with enough vitamin C. Even if you were to focus on eating foods with a high concentration of vitamin C, you would only end up denying yourself other nutrients or suffering indigestion (from overeating). And, if you try to get all your vitamin C from fruit, you may end up getting too much fructose-sugar in your diet.  Benefits of Vitamin C  helps repair tissues, including skin, blood vessels, bones and teeth  fights against heart disease and cancer with its high levels of antioxidants  can accelerate wound healing and helps eliminate bruising – which is low grade scurvy  improves vascular elasticity reducing blood pressure  reduces the stickiness of blood platelets, making them less prone to forming clots  can lower oxidized cholesterol levels: when Vitamin C levels are low, cholesterol becomes elevated; and when more vitamin C is consumed, cholesterol levels decline  increases type I collagen synthesis – collagen is the vital protein scaffolding of our body  helps reduce levels of lead, mercury and other heavy metals  reduces histamine in the body — the hormone that triggers allergies and asthma attacks  Tonight, we'll talk with Dr. Carolyn Dean about the Dual Nature of Vitamin C -along with a wide range of other health topics and clinically recommended nutritional assets to support your body.

HOUR 1 Vitamin C - Crucial Building Block for Health-Carolyn Dean MD ND  Vitamin C – Building Block of Health  Over the last few weeks on my radio show, I've been sharing with you what I already knew and have been recommending, what is still being discovered, and what may yet be proven [which falls under the category of what I already knew lol]. The bottom line remains – the immune system is made of cells and we have to keep building healthy cells using the right building blocks. These building blocks are available to you in our Completement Formulas.  This week we are reviewing the value of vitamin C as a building block of health, vitality and well-being. To sum it up, I'll quote Dr. Rhonda Patrick,  an American biomedical scientist, researcher, and entrepreneur. I subscribe to Dr. Patrick's newsletter and was thrilled to see a publication simply titled “Vitamin C”, a 42-page, 20,000-word, up-to-the minute description of the benefits of vitamin C.  Here is how Dr. Patrick begins her paper:  Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential nutrient, widely recognized for its antioxidant properties. These properties arise from its potent redox potential due to its capacity to donate electrons to oxidized molecules. Even in small quantities vitamin C can protect critical molecules in the body such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) from damage by reactive oxygen species, which are generated during normal metabolism, by active immune cells, and through exposure to toxins and pollutants (e.g., certain chemotherapy drugs and cigarette smoke). The vitamin also plays a critical role as a cofactor – a molecule that assists enzymes in chemical reactions. This dual nature of vitamin C means that it is instrumental in multiple physiological processes, including those involved in the biosynthesis of collagen, carnitine, and catecholamines. As such, vitamin C participates in immune function, wound healing, fatty acid metabolism, neurotransmitter production, and blood vessel formation, as well as other key processes and pathways.  The dual nature of Vitamin C! It's exciting, isn't it, to think about how many benefits you receive as you engage this versatile, essential nutrient?  Getting Vitamin C From Food  Unless you live in a remote community, untouched by the problems of modern farming, it's highly unlikely your local food supply will provide you with enough vitamin C. Even if you were to focus on eating foods with a high concentration of vitamin C, you would only end up denying yourself other nutrients or suffering indigestion (from overeating). And, if you try to get all your vitamin C from fruit, you may end up getting too much fructose-sugar in your diet.  Benefits of Vitamin C  helps repair tissues, including skin, blood vessels, bones and teeth  fights against heart disease and cancer with its high levels of antioxidants  can accelerate wound healing and helps eliminate bruising – which is low grade scurvy  improves vascular elasticity reducing blood pressure  reduces the stickiness of blood platelets, making them less prone to forming clots  can lower oxidized cholesterol levels: when Vitamin C levels are low, cholesterol becomes elevated; and when more vitamin C is consumed, cholesterol levels decline  increases type I collagen synthesis – collagen is the vital protein scaffolding of our body  helps reduce levels of lead, mercury and other heavy metals  reduces histamine in the body — the hormone that triggers allergies and asthma attacks  Tonight, we'll talk with Dr. Carolyn Dean about the Dual Nature of Vitamin C -along with a wide range of other health topics and clinically recommended nutritional assets to support your body.

HOUR 2 Important Nutrients for Immune Support- Magnesium-Carolyn Dean MD ND  A recent research paper published February, 2021, highlight magnesium's special role in immune support as an assist to Vitamin D and much more.  In the abstract the research paper states:  Magnesium and vitamin D each have the possibility of affecting the immune system and consequently the cytokine storm and coagulation cascade in respiratory and viral infections. Vitamin D is important for reducing the risk of upper respiratory tract infections and plays a role in pulmonary epithelial health. While the importance of vitamin D for a healthy immune system has been known for decades, the benefits of magnesium has only recently been elucidated. Indeed, magnesium is important for activating vitamin D and has a protective role against oxidative stress. Magnesium deficiency increases endothelial cell susceptibility to oxidative stress, promotes endothelial dysfunction, reduces fibrinolysis and increases coagulation. Furthermore, magnesium deficient animals and humans have depressed immune responses, which, when supplemented with magnesium, a partial or near full reversal of the immunodeficiency occurs. Moreover, intracellular free magnesium levels in natural killer cells and CD8 killer T cells regulates their cytotoxicity. Considering that magnesium and vitamin D are important for immune function and cellular resilience, a deficiency in either may contribute to cytokine storm in the many respiratory infections.  Unless you've made a specific effort to include daily supplementation in your current health regime you are more than likely to be magnesium or mineral deficient as well as vitamin D deficient. Over 80% of American's are magnesium deficient and 42% reported to be Vitamin D deficient. Embarking on a daily supplementation plan is exciting and will offer you incremental improvement in every area of your life including immune support.   On tonight's radio show we'll talk about magnesium's special role with vitamin D and its other responsibilities in keeping the body properly energized.    Video Version: https://youtu.be/DCIvmncCXtg About Dr. Carolyn Dean    Dr Carolyn Dean MD ND has been featured on national media for over 30 years offering practical strategies to improve health, vitality, and well-being the natural way.

Dr. Ana Maria Lopez, professor and vice chair Medical Oncology at the New Jersey division of the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center – Jefferson Health, discusses the future of telemedicine in cancer care and how to make it sustainable and accessible to all patients and survivors. Transcript: ASCO Daily News: Welcome to the ASCO Daily News Podcast. I'm Geraldine Carroll, a reporter for the ASCO Daily News. My guest today is Dr. Ana Maria Lopez, a medical oncologist, professor, and Vice Chair of Medical Oncology of the New Jersey division of the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center, at Jefferson Health.  Dr. Lopez is a member of ASCO's Telemedicine Working Group, and joins me to discuss the future of telemedicine in cancer care and how to make it sustainable in the years to come while striving for quality care for all patients and survivors. Dr. Lopez's full disclosures are available on the transcript of this episode, and disclosures relating to all episodes of the podcast can be found on our transcripts at ASCO.org/podcasts. Dr. Lopez, it's great to have you on the podcast today. Dr. Ana Maria Lopez: Thank you so much. Happy to be here. ASCO Daily News: Dr. Lopez, do you think that the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased use of telemedicine will permanently change the way patients with cancer are cared for? Dr. Ana Maria Lopez: You know, I hope so. And the reason I say that is because we've learned a lot. And we've learned that there are ways that we can care for people better at a distance. And so, what we've learned and what we can take forward, I do hope that we'll be able to do. So, for example, we know that a lot of the screening for a cancer clinical trial may be able to be done at a distance. And that way, when the patient actually comes for the appointment, there can be a more rapid entry into the trial. We know that patients may be able to stay at home safely at certain time points--perhaps at time points during survivorship, perhaps if they're doing very well with their treatment. Or if they need an acute assessment, something that needs to be done right away, the camera could be opened, and the conversation can be had. We also have some recent data that being able to care for patients at home may be able to pre-empt some hospitalizations. And to be able to do this with the benefit of telemonitoring, of visual monitoring--that all of these may be very helpful for patients, and may be able to improve their quality of life as well as let us help them with whatever the acute problem is at the time. ASCO Daily News: Absolutely. Those are very positive developments. I know you do have some concerns about disparities in care that emerged during the pandemic. You know, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed a host of disparities in cancer care, including access to telemedicine. During the 2021 ASCO Annual Meeting, you chaired an education session that assessed disparities in digital access and implications for telemedicine. Our listeners will find a link to the session in the transcript of this episode. So, Dr. Lopez, can you tell us about the major barriers to telemedicine that are of concern to you today? Dr. Ana Maria Lopez: Yes. It's really been such a learning experience. You know, telemedicine was really developed to increase access to care. And then to realize during the pandemic that in some situations, telemedicine, telehealth was really a barrier to care. And the reason for that is we used to do telemedicine--for example, a rural patient. The rural patient would go to the local clinic, the local clinic would have this incredible telemedicine setup that maybe included a tele-stethoscope, a tele-otoscope, so that you were really able to do the full exam virtually, with the exception of palpation. And everything was very well set up. But when telemedicine, during the pandemic, really translated--and this began before the pandemic as well, but not to the massive scale. But telemedicine really went to the patient's device. So, the patient needed to have some sort of a smartphone or a tablet, or some device that was connected, preferably, to broadband internet. And not everyone has that. And even if they're in an area where they might have access, it might be spotty in a certain part of the house. Or everybody is trying to get on the network for home schooling, for work. They may not have enough access, enough bandwidth, for the telemedicine appointment. So, access to broadband internet is critical. And then if people had access, their device might not have the right access, or they may not know quite how to get onto their device to get to the telemedicine visit. So digital literacy really came up. You know, we've always talked about literacy. We've talked about numeracy. But now, digital literacy. And we, as clinicians, really needed to advocate for our patients so that they would have the digital literacy to do the telemedicine visit. And I think, actually, also for us, as clinicians, and for the health care team, did education training on the technology, but also on how to engage. You know, there's so many questions that people will have. Well, can I really engage the patient well enough? Can I really make that connection with the patient, which is really what we treasure in the patient/physician relationship? Will I really be able to make that through this machine? And so how can we help people so that they can engage? And again, it may not be the same. But can it provide the care that both parties can really feel, yes, that meets the need at the time? So, I think all of those factors can be important. And they are all, I think, areas that can be overcome. ASCO Daily News: Absolutely. You spoke about access to broadband; you spoke about digital literacy. These things, of course, impact patients in rural settings, [and] older patients. So, it is very important for oncology practices and advocates to be thoroughly aware of best practices, and be knowledgeable about telemedicine tools moving forward to increase access for patients and to help stakeholders learn how to use the tools more effectively. Can you highlight best practices and ways to ensure that clinicians are using telemedicine to best serve the needs of patients and survivors? Dr. Ana Maria Lopez: There's so much in that question. So best practices, I think, we're still learning, which is one of the, I think, great things. I often think of telemedicine as a translational science because we go to the engineers, you know, I've got this problem, and they work it out. And then we can take it back to the bedside, or as some people say, the website, and try it out, really develop these approaches so that they can really help our patients best. But I think what you're pointing to is the real importance of education and training for the clinical teams. Something as simple as, you know, when a patient comes in normally to an appointment, there are vital signs. And again, in the pandemic, in many settings, we didn't have a way to collect those vital signs. So how can we, now that we have our lessons learned, work together to develop processes so patients can do their vital signs at home? Do we send a blood pressure cuff? A pulse-ox often has the heart rate on it. So, do we send these as a little kit? Or do we give these test kits to patients, and educate them on how to take their vital signs at home, so that those data are not missing when we see our patients through telemedicine? I also think when we were talking about engaging earlier, we're taught, in medical school, how to engage with the patient who's sitting next to us. But how do we engage with the patient when our connection is the camera? How do I look at the camera so that the patient--it appears that I'm looking at them, as opposed to looking at their eyes on the screen? So that that's engaging of the patient? I may find myself speaking a little more slowly or pausing more often in order to facilitate that engagement through the telecommunications technology. So, I think there are best practices just from the how to use the technology piece that we need to think about. But also, we need to better understand. What are the areas where telemedicine is most apt? Where do I really feel confident that this is the application to use, and in what situations do I say, you know what? I really need a hands-on approach. And how do I educate so that--let's say I'm following a patient who has a skin lesion. How do I educate the patient to be able to transmit those images faithfully to me, so I can really get a good-quality image, so that my interpretation is clinically appropriate? I think the most important best practice is that we shouldn't think that we're settling. Telemedicine, the technology, has incredible capacity. And if we are ever in doubt as a clinician that, you know, I wish I could do x, or if I had such and such, I would be better able to make this interpretation, if that crosses my mind, then I should see the patient in person. The assessment that I am giving the patient at the time, as a clinician, I should be really comfortable in, whether it's telemedicine, in-person, medicine, telephone, it should really be--I should feel confident. And if I'm not confident, then I should do what I need to do to care for the patient. ASCO Daily News: Absolutely. Is it your sense that oncology practices, [and] smaller community practices, are hearing your call, so to speak, and putting proper trainings in place and follow-up, et cetera? Oncology practices are very busy places. What are your thoughts on this? Dr. Ana Maria Lopez: So, in the same way that--what I said to the med students, you know, is you'll always do the right thing if you put the patient first. Always. Because you'll read, if you're not sure. You'll go talk to a colleague. You'll do what you need to do if you keep your goal the best care of the patient. And similarly, here, if we are going to use telemedicine, then as a clinician, I want to be proficient. I want to do the best job that I can. And so, then I want to get the training that I need in order to get that done. One of the things that we're instituting is, really, new doctors come in. Whenever anybody comes in, you're accustomed to, there is a whole set of learnings that have to happen, right? Because every institution is a little different. And we have our telemedicine trainings that are a part of that. And I think that's really important, because that shows that the health system, that the University system, that the Cancer Center has, as its core, that we understand you may not be 100% proficient at all of this. We don't expect you to. But we expect you to take these learnings and boost your knowledge in this area. ASCO Daily News: Right. In that context, then, of quality care, putting the patient first, how do you think telemedicine will serve patients and survivors in the future? Do you see great improvements in technology? Building better platforms for patients? Do you see these technologies on the horizon? Dr. Ana Maria Lopez: Absolutely. I think we sometimes think, for example--so cancer care. Cancer is a disease, predominantly, of elders, in the sense that as we get older, we're at higher risk for the disease. And as we get older, for example, our eyes age, our hands may become arthritic. Any of these issues could happen to any one of us. And technologies are being developed so that these are easier--so it's easier to maneuver the keypad, so that the lighting is more appropriate. And I think that all patients have a keen interest--and certainly patients that have been diagnosed with cancer--have a keen interest in their health care, and have a keen interest in maximizing their health care. So, bringing to them, you know, here are ways where you can maximize your telemedicine visit is generally very welcome. That sort of education is generally very welcomed by patients. ASCO Daily News: Right. What do you see as the biggest challenges for telemedicine in oncology in the future? There's been the promise of federal funding for these things. What are your thoughts? What what's your checklist for the future? Dr. Ana Maria Lopez: So, one of the things that really helped telemedicine expand as widely as it did during the pandemic and currently is that telemedicine is reimbursed. Very simple. But it's something that we've been working towards for a long time. So, telemedicine reimbursement really needs to continue if telemedicine is to continue. So, advocacy. And ASCO, other professional associations, are certainly at the forefront in advocacy. Reimbursement, tele-education for patients, for clinicians. Broadband, we've talked about. But something that we need to do as a profession is really be able to say, in what way do we want telemedicine to be sustainable in the future? And what will that require? So, for example, things like when patients, let's say, join a practice. Do they receive a telemedicine kit for vital signs? We know, for example, some practices in pediatrics--otitis media are a very common pediatric problem. Parents receive a little otoscope that they can be taught to use, and can have available should they need it. So, for us to really think, what do we need for sustainability? The camera on the phone is now, generally, a pretty high-quality camera. So, in what way can those tools be leveraged to be able to transmit more diagnostic-type images? That's probably not the right term, but images that are of higher quality that one can really make a better interpretation if that is something that's being looked at during a clinical exam. So, we really need to think of sustainability. As you may know, the numbers shot up during the COVID epidemic, the peak of it. We're not past the epidemic. And they have now--telemedicine has not decreased in use in many, many places. So, the easiest thing for us to do as clinical people, as patients, is to just go back to what we're used to. And then we would really lose all the lessons learned. So, I think it's really important to think proactively. Where are the benefits? How can we maximize them? How can we sustain them? ASCO Daily News: You mentioned sustainability. With sustainability in mind, would you agree that further research is necessary to leverage the best of telemedicine in oncology while making changes to improve the patient experience in a sustainable way? And are there any studies, any research, that you're keeping an eye on at the moment? Dr. Ana Maria Lopez: Yes. I think research is critically important to inform telemedicine sustainability, and to think about, really, what are the right applications for future care? And that these are ways, again, to increase access. Fundamentally, this will increase access. So, I think there are many studies to even think of what are the right metrics? What is it that we really are looking at, and what is it that we need to measure? There are things, for example, in cancer care. Cancer care is multidisciplinary by nature. So, there's teleradiology. There's telepathology. In what ways can those services be helpful to the patient, whether the patient is seen in person or at a distance? We've talked a little bit about the access to clinical trials. And again, in what ways can "tele" be integrated in order to increase access to clinical trials? And I think that area, will really blossom. That's an area, again, where hopefully, our lessons learned will not just retreat as something of historical interest. And then is there a right interval, for example, for seeing patients, whether in survivorship, or even during treatment, where you can do an assessment and feel comfortable that if you're doing a visual assessment or if you're doing an assessment that is at a distance with different tools that can do more of the traditional type of physical exam, that we can feel comfortable that that was the right exam? So, these are things that are very concrete, and are very studiable. And I'll give you an example. So, we could have a patient who is being treated for a malignancy. They could have an in-person exam, an in-person assessment, and then they could go into another room and receive a tele-exam, tele-visit, with another clinician. And then the assessments could be compared. Did we get to the same outcome? And is it maybe every other visit that would be comfortable to do at a distance? So, I just think these are really important questions to think about sustainability. And although they may seem very concrete, they're very important to think about how we will carry telemedicine into the future, as well as some of the aspects that we talked about--helping the telemedicine tools be more useful, be more, really, user-friendly for the patient population. And also, to take into consideration that there may be times where the patient, where the clinician, may say, you know, yes, we could do it through telemedicine, but I think it's time for us to see each other face-to-face. And so, too, there's the flexibility to honor the patient's preferences as well. ASCO Daily News: Absolutely. You've raised so many very important [and] interesting points today. Are there any other thoughts you'd like to share before we wrap up the podcast today, Dr. Lopez? Dr. Ana Maria Lopez: One of my favorite images--and I know it's a podcast, so you can't show the image--but there was a cartoon in the front of a magazine that was called “The Radio Doctor.” And I think it was from the 1920s. And I was always so impressed by this because it basically showed a telemedicine setup. And of course, telemedicine didn't happen until much later. And here we are, probably close to 100 years from that image in the front of that magazine, and we're tackling what was visualized, what was envisioned then. So, change, growth, takes time. So, I think that that's really important to remember, that things take time. So sometimes, we may get impatient. At the same time, we want to do it right. And we want to do it with the patient, really, at the center of all of this. So, I very much feel that we've learned a lot of lessons. I look forward to thinking about telemedicine sustainability in cancer care and in clinical care overall. And a part of that work really needs to be working with patients and hearing their voice, and hearing how we can work together so that the clinical experience is as good as [it can be], and there are some data that in certain settings, patients prefer the experience. So, to help us understand what feels better to them, then, and how we can improve the experience overall. So, it's an exciting time. And I look forward to what the future will bring. ASCO Daily News: Indeed. Well, thank you very much, Dr. Lopez, for shining a spotlight on the role of telemedicine in cancer care. Some interesting times ahead. Thank you, Dr. Lopez.

HOUR 2 MAGNESIUM AND MINERALS – Kickstart Your Life- Carolyn Dean MD ND  In medical school, I studied acupuncture as a second-year elective. I also read all the health books I could get my hands on. After med school and during my internship I began my naturopathic training, so when I went into practice I immediately incorporated  acupuncture, herbal medicine, homeopathy, nutrition, and vitamin and mineral supplements.  Even before medical school, I read everything I could about natural health. After almost 50 years of study, I’m convinced that magnesium and mineral supplementation is the most valuable healing tool you can use. It’s the easiest to implement, the most cost effective to use, and the most valuable for your health. But it depends on fully absorbed minerals having access to your cells.  Magnesium and minerals charge us up and can help us feel better fast.  Not only do minerals provide the necessary building blocks for the structure and function of the body, they are also required for the electrical conductivity that occurs between all cells. The electrical or energetic message that minerals send is created from very small amounts of minerals, but it results in a huge impact. The nervous system uses electrical energy to transmit messages (nerve impulses) from one cell to another. The muscles are similarly activated to create all movement – large and small.  According to Dr. Roderick MacKinnon of the Rockefeller University, electrical signals have many roles to play in the body. They control the heart rate, regulate hormones, and transfer information from one cell to the next in the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. The end result is muscle movement, nerve firing, glandular secretion, excretion, temperature regulation, and even thought.  The electricity in the body is very real. It can be measured by several medical instruments, like the EKG or EEG. Those measurements are made possible due to cells having what’s known as a “membrane potential,” which is the difference in electricity between the inside and the outside of the cell.

HOUR 1 MAGNESIUM AND MINERALS – Kickstart Your Life- Carolyn Dean MD ND  In medical school, I studied acupuncture as a second-year elective. I also read all the health books I could get my hands on. After med school and during my internship I began my naturopathic training, so when I went into practice I immediately incorporated  acupuncture, herbal medicine, homeopathy, nutrition, and vitamin and mineral supplements.  Even before medical school, I read everything I could about natural health. After almost 50 years of study, I’m convinced that magnesium and mineral supplementation is the most valuable healing tool you can use. It’s the easiest to implement, the most cost effective to use, and the most valuable for your health. But it depends on fully absorbed minerals having access to your cells.  Magnesium and minerals charge us up and can help us feel better fast.  Not only do minerals provide the necessary building blocks for the structure and function of the body, they are also required for the electrical conductivity that occurs between all cells. The electrical or energetic message that minerals send is created from very small amounts of minerals, but it results in a huge impact. The nervous system uses electrical energy to transmit messages (nerve impulses) from one cell to another. The muscles are similarly activated to create all movement – large and small.  According to Dr. Roderick MacKinnon of the Rockefeller University, electrical signals have many roles to play in the body. They control the heart rate, regulate hormones, and transfer information from one cell to the next in the nervous and musculoskeletal systems. The end result is muscle movement, nerve firing, glandular secretion, excretion, temperature regulation, and even thought.  The electricity in the body is very real. It can be measured by several medical instruments, like the EKG or EEG. Those measurements are made possible due to cells having what’s known as a “membrane potential,” which is the difference in electricity between the inside and the outside of the cell. The amount of this potential ranges from 70 to 90 millivolts. The cell membrane is a double layer of fat and protein. The fats insulate the membrane, and the proteins create ion channels to transport ions in and out of the cell. The mineral ion pump and ion channels are compared to a set of batteries and resistors, inserted in the membrane, that create a voltage difference between the two sides of the membrane.  What kind of symptoms accompany mineral imbalances?  Anxiety  Blood pressure changes  Chronic fatigue  Dizziness, especially when standing up suddenly  Changes in appetite or body weight  Confusion and difficulty concentrating  Headaches  Muscle weakness, aches or twitching   Extreme thirst  Insomnia  Fever  Heart palpitations or irregular heartbeats  Digestive issues such as diarrhea or constipation  Joint pain or numbness  If you suspect you have a magnesium or mineral deficiency, the best course of action is a two-pronged approach – get immediate relief through an effective hydration and supplementation protocol and identify a long-term strategy by assessing your current mineral levels and determining a sustainable plan of remineralization.  Tonight, we’ll talk with Dr. Carolyn Dean about both strategies -along with a wide range of other health topics and clinically recommended nutritional assets to support your body.

HOUR 2 Magnesium and Brain Health- Carolyn Dean MD ND  One of the top eight nutrients for protecting aging brains suggested by the Institute of Food Technologists and highlighted in its magazine, Food Technology is “magnesium”.  Unfortunately, most of the U.S. population is magnesium deficient and is not getting their Recommended Daily Allowance of this important mineral. This leaves many Americans at a greater risk for a host of serious brain related health issues including cognitive impairment, stroke with severe post-stroke complications, neurotoxin damage from vast numbers of chemicals in our air, food and water, seizure disorders, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.  These conditions are the neurological equivalent of heart disease and are preventable. After all, both the heart and brain are made up of excitable tissues that give off electrical energy, and both must have magnesium to stay healthy and function properly.  In fact, magnesium is one of the most widely researched minerals for brain health and has proven remarkably effective in clinical settings. Some of the biological benefits you can expect from magnesium include:  Alzheimer’s disease: Magnesium blocks the neuro-inflammation caused by the inappropriate deposition of calcium and other heavy metals in brain cells. Magnesium is at work even before the inflammation appears, guarding cell ion channels and not allowing heavy metals to enter.  Magnesium protects the brain from the toxic effects of chemicals such as food additives.  Brain dysfunction: Download a free copy of Magnesium in the Central Nervous System (2011) for an extensive overview of the beneficial effects of magnesium on the brain. https://www.adelaide.edu.au/press/titles/magnesium/  Depression: Serotonin, which elevates mood, is dependent on magnesium. A magnesium-deficient brain is also more susceptible to allergens and foreign substances, which in some instances can cause symptoms similar to mental illness.  Magnesium deficiency can produce symptoms of anxiety or depression, including muscle weakness, fatigue, eye twitches, insomnia, anorexia, apathy, apprehension, poor memory, confusion, anger, nervousness, and rapid pulse.  Serotonin, the “feel-good” brain chemical that is boosted by some psychiatric medications with their dangerously harmful side-effects, depends on magnesium for its production and function.  The body needs magnesium in order to release and bind adequate amounts of serotonin in the brain for balanced mental functioning.  Cognitive deficits in general and diseases such as dementia are often associated with reduced cerebral blood flow.  Magnesium improves the blood flow in the brain and is being used to rehab the brain after stroke.  Another wonderful benefit of magnesium: brain plasticity! You’ve heard the term – but what does it mean? Well, a synapse is the place where a signal passes from one nerve cell to another. Synaptic plasticity is the biological process by which specific patterns of synaptic activity result in changes in synaptic strength and is thought to contribute to learning and memory. One study found that synaptic plasticity is a key characteristic of nerve architecture that allows your brain to tolerate stress, recover from trauma, and make changes. Synaptic plasticity is based on having your brain nourished with magnesium in order to properly energize brain cells and prevent them from being inflamed, damaged and functionally impaired. Magnesium is a natural anti-inflammatory. The health of your nerve cell membranes is vital to their plasticity and in addition to aerobic exercise which stimulates brain plasticity, the study found that the intake of magnesium above the normal dietary amount or Recommended Daily Allowance has a dramatic effect on improving multiple aspects of memory and learning. These findings applied to both young and old alike. Magnesium was found to directly improve synaptic plasticity. Various regions in the brain associated with learning and memory experienced significant improvements in synaptic function as a result of magnesium dietary supplementation. In my experience the Recommended Daily Allowance of 300 mg to 400 mg is inadequate for important functions of magnesium including optimal brain function. Keep in mind, magnesium is required for 1,000 enzyme functions in the body.  Over the years I have seen significant health improvement in individuals consuming an absorbable form of magnesium such as ReMag in the 600 mg – 900 mg range.
