Podcasts about disease progression

This episode of Don't Miss a Beat centers on the evolving treatment landscape for transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) with special guest Ahmad Masri, MD. Hosts Muthiah Vaduganathan, MD, MPH, a cardiologist and codirector of the Center for Cardiometabolic Implementation Science at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Steve Greene, MD, an advanced heart failure specialist at Duke University School of Medicine, are joined by Masri, who serves as the director of the HCM and Amyloid Program at Oregon Health & Science University, to discuss the rapid therapeutic advances in ATTR-CM and the emerging questions shaping real-world clinical practice. Masri reviews the progression from a previously untreatable disease to one now managed with three US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved disease-modifying agents: tafamidis (VYNDAMAX), acoramidis (Attruby), and vutrisiran (AMVUTTRA). He highlights the tafamidis approval in 2019 as a landmark in the field, showing a substantial survival benefit in the ATTR-ACT trial, followed by similar results from acoramidis, which received approval in late 2024, in ATTRibute-CM. Vutrisiran, a TTR gene silencer approved by the FDA in March 2025, represents a mechanistically distinct approach validated in the HELIOS-B trial. Despite these advances, Masri notes that patients with late-stage disease derive limited symptomatic benefit and that residual risk remains high, even with treatment. The conversation explores whether stabilizers and silencers can or should be combined, with Masri urging caution, citing the absence of clinical data demonstrating additive benefit and warning against assumptions of harmony without clinical evidence. Masri indicated ongoing trials, such as CARDIO-TTRansform, may offer clarity on this issue. Without direct comparisons between therapies, treatment selection often hinges on patient preference, delivery method, pill burden, and payer coverage. In practice, clinicians rely on pharmacodynamic markers, like changes in TTR levels, to assess treatment effect and adjust therapy accordingly. Masri emphasizes that while ATTR-CM trials may not show improvements in quality-of-life scores, slowing disease progression remains a critical and meaningful endpoint in this severe, high-mortality condition. Looking ahead, the panel discusses the next wave of therapeutic innovation. Multiple trials are now testing agents that aim to clear amyloid from the myocardium, including NI006 (ALXN2220), PRX004, and AT-02. These immune-modulating treatments are designed for long-term use and may complement stabilizers or silencers in patients with established amyloid burden. The episode closes with a discussion on prevention. For patients with asymptomatic cardiac involvement, current therapies halt disease progression entirely in many cases. For those with pathogenic TTR variants but no overt disease, surveillance is the current standard. However, Masri introduces the ACT Early trial, which will test whether early treatment with acoramidis can prevent the onset of clinical disease in high-risk individuals, potentially reshaping the paradigm of ATTR-CM care.

Osteosarcoma Webinar Series: Sowmya Ramesh, PhD joins us on OsteoBites to discuss how multi-modal omics analysis identifies targetable sensory neuron circuitry that promotes sarcoma disease progression.Bone pain is a hallmark of bone cancers, including osteosarcoma (OS), mediated by skeletal-innervating peripheral afferent neurons. However, the roles of tumor-associated sensory neurons in OS beyond pain perception remain poorly understood. To investigate their regulatory functions, a chemical-genetic approach was employed in mice carrying a knock-in allele for TrkA to perturb sensory nerve innervation during OS growth and progression. TrkA inhibition in these transgenic mice significantly reduced sarcoma-associated sensory innervation and vascularization, altered tumor-associated macrophage polarization, decreased tumor growth and metastasis, and extended overall survival.These findings suggest that targeting pathological innervation in OS may serve as an adjunctive therapy to enhance clinical outcomes and survival.Dr. Ramesh is a postdoctoral researcher from the James lab at Johns Hopkins. The lab's research focus lies at the intersection of skeletal pathophysiology and stem cell biology. The lab looks at the interaction of nerves in various musculoskeletal repair including bone repair and regeneration, osteoprogenitor cell characterization, and neoplastic bone. Dr. Ramesh specifically works on understanding how peripheral nerves regulate osteosarcoma disease progression.

“I haven't had any medical people tell me that I shouldn't go all out,” says our protagonist in this episode, Nordic John. He's 80 years young but still competing internationally in cross-country skiing despite  the onset of Parkinson's disease a decade ago. “That is really effective when you push yourself to the limit.” Our expert guest, Dr. Jerry Vitek, Head of Neurology at the University of Minnesota Medical School,  confirms John's experience. “Exercise is one of the best things we can do and recommend to our patients.” Nordic John's wife, Gina, attests that John is no stranger to the  vigorous challenge of cross country skiing. John directed the Nordic Skiing Program at the Craftsbury Outdoor Center in Vermont for decades. And both attended the 2023 Master's World Cup of Skiing in Austria.  “I just need to get him to the start line because then when the gun goes off he just knows what to do,” she explains.  That means Nordic John's muscle memory for skiing remains intact despite the onset of other symptoms, such as tremors and loss of balance.  “There's no question that when you start to become proficient at something, you've clearly changed those connections and strengthened them,” confirms Dr. Vitek.  We'll also hear from Coach Ollie, who has taken over John's former position at the Craftsbury Center yet now directs John at his Master's practices. And we'll learn about the important role played by the actor Michael J. Fox and his foundation in raising $1 billion for Parkinson's research so far. How do John and Gina fare in disappointing snow conditions at the Master's World Cup? What important research is on the horizon for the many millions of Parkinson's patients worldwide?

Steve Blake dives into the critical relationship between diet and neurodegenerative diseases, specifically Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. He challenges popular notions about ketogenic diets and emphasizes the importance of glucose as the brain's preferred fuel. Drawing from his experiences and studies, Blake underscores the potential benefits of certain dietary choices in alleviating symptoms and, in early stages, even reversing the progression of these diseases. #BrainHealth #DietAndDisease #NeuroWellness

Episode 106 -Preventing Periodontal Disease Progression with Closed Root Planing   This podcast explains how using a periodontal curette to perform closed root planing can prevent the progression of periodontal disease and bone loss in pets. It describes how to identify abnormal bleeding pockets around teeth and use the curette to remove inflamed tissue and allow connective tissue reattachment. Charging for closed root planing procedures can improve quality of care and prevent extractions.   Love Veterinary Dentistry?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based form of therapy that has been in use for decades. My guest in this episode believes that CBT can be applied to create better therapeutics, and, in fact, that's exactly what his company is called: Better Therapeutics. Dr. Mark Berman, the Chief Medical Officer at Better Therapeutics, explained that the goal of CBT is to “help people change some of those core beliefs, which then directly influence what we do on a day to day basis.” And while CBT was originally applied to help people with conditions like PTSD, anxiety and depression, the team at Better Therapeutics have developed their own variant of CBT to apply the core principles of CBT to the ideas that drive root behaviors like diet, exercise and other supportive lifestyle behaviors. Tune into this episode to hear how Better Therapeutics are creating new digital treatments to reverse the progression of cardiometabolic disease, improve quality of life and inform clinical decisions. In this episode, we cover: Patient experience using digital therapeutics for type 2 diabetes Nutritional CBT – Better Therapeutics innovative new form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Why companies are opting to create Prescription Digital Therapies rather than self-managed lifestyle apps What's next in the Better Therapeutics pipeline and how these decisions are made The future of Digital Therapeutic infrastructure Guest Links and Resources: Connect with Mark Berman on LinkedIn | Twitter Visit bettertx.com Host Links: Connect with Eugene Borukhovich: Twitter | LinkedIn Connect with Chandana Fitzgerald, MD: Twitter | LinkedIn Connect with YourCoach.health: Website | Twitter Check out Shot of Digital Health with Eugene and Jim Joyce: Website | Podcast App HealthXL: Website | Twitter | Join an Event Season 2 of Digital Therapeutics Podcast would not be possible without the support of leading DTx organizations.

In this episode, CJ Walker, also known as the Genetic Diabetic, speaks about LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood), a condition often misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes. CJ shares her personal experience with being misdiagnosed and ultimately diagnosed with LADA and discusses the key things to know about this condition. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in learning more about LADA and how it differs from other types of diabetes. Listeners will gain valuable insights into this lesser-known form of diabetes and learn how to recognize the symptoms and seek appropriate care.LADA: The Diabetes That Falls in BetweenLADA, or Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood, is a condition that is often misdiagnosed. Some people call it type 1.5 diabetes, as it shares characteristics of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. LADA is a form of diabetes caused by an autoimmune response that attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This results in gradually losing insulin production, leading to high blood sugar levels.One of the key differences between type 2 diabetes and LADA is the age of onset. Type 2 diabetes typically occurs in adults over the age of 45, while LADA can occur at any age but is most commonly diagnosed in adults between the ages of 30 and 50. Additionally, LADA is more common in people who are not overweight or obese, while type 2 diabetes is often associated with obesity.Advocating for Diabetes: A Never-Ending FightDiabetes is a chronic illness that requires constant advocacy; this is especially true for those with LADA, a form of diabetes that is often misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes. CJ shares her experience of being misdiagnosed with type 2 diabetes and her frustration with ineffective treatments. It was only after advocating for herself and doing her research that CJ could receive a proper diagnosis of LADA. CJ highlights the need for individuals with diabetes to be proactive in their healthcare and not be afraid to speak up and ask questions.LADA: The Autoimmune Diabetes That Needs Careful ManagementLADA, a form of diabetes with an autoimmune origin, involves the immune system attacking healthy tissues and cells. Unlike type 1 diabetes, LADA progresses slowly and is often diagnosed in adulthood. To preserve pancreatic function and insulin production, it is important to manage LADA by minimizing stress on the pancreas. This includes avoiding processed sugars and refined flour that can trigger insulin surges. While an ultra-low-carb or keto diet isn't required, it's essential to be mindful of food choices and their impact on blood sugar levels.Key Takeaways:[00:21] LADA, Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood[04:14] Type 1.5 diabetes diagnosis[08:27] Autoimmune conditions and proper diagnosis[14:39] Managing diabetes takes decision-making[16:39] Hormonal differences in diabetes[21:09] Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults[25:03] Managing LADA with medications[29:14] Diabetes support and resourcesResources:Website: https://thegeneticdiabeticblog.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thegeneticdiabetic/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegeneticdiabeticblog/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thegeneticdiabeticblog/ Support the show
