As part of our ongoing dialogue around clinical care pathways and the complex of metabolic diseases, SurfingNASH dedicates a session to focus on the key relationship and interplay between endocrinology and hepatology. This topic rings familiar in the Rising Tide series, our podcast for frontline education, where Ken Cusi often notes the need for endocrinologists to become comfortable diagnosing Fatty Liver disease (and prescribing pioglitazone) and for hepatologists to become more comfortable prescribing GLP-1s. To expand on these critical ideas with the SurfingNASH community, Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green are joined by Cyrielle Caussy, Professor of Nutrition and Endocrinologist-Diabetologist at Lyon 1 University and Lyon South Hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon (France). Cyrielle is an expert in the clinical care of metabolic disease, including type 2 diabetes, obesity and NAFLD, and she is leading a clinical and research program focused on metabolic liver disease at the Lyon Hepatology Institute. 02:14 Introducing Cyrielle Caussy and Her Professional BackgroundNew to the podcast, Cyrielle takes a moment to outline her career trajectory and how she became interested in Fatty Liver disease and its growing area of overlap within the wider scope of medical care.08:42 Educating Endocrinologists on the Power of NITs Developed in HepatologyFrom here, Roger describes overarching questions that the episode aims to cover:What does the interaction between endocrinologists and hepatologists look like from their relative perspectives? In practical terms, how does each approach care pathways, referrals and collaboration? What about either speciality would be key for the other to learn more about, develop and integrate? Jörn comments on the value of deploying the NITs developed by the hepatology community to endocrinology clinics. He notes the practical barriers which could hinder uptake and utilization. Among other insights, Cyrielle underscores the importance behind raising awareness among our endocrinology colleagues that patients in routine screening are regularly diagnosed with advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis in the absence of symptoms.14:32 The Importance of Early Identification in At-Risk Populations and Implementing GuidelinesRoger notes that around 50% of all cirrhosis is diagnosed for the first time during a decompensation event at the emergency department. He asks whether the endocrinology clinic is the right place to identify patients much sooner. Jörn suggests the answer is yes considering that we know the risk and prevalence of advanced fibrosis in this population to be high. The group goes on to discuss requesting and receiving lab results in their respective different systems.25:55 Discussing the Patient Perspective in Endocrinology ClinicsLouise asks how do patients respond when informed of fibrosis or other liver related conditions in the endocrinology clinic setting. 33:40 Biomarkers, Holistic Metabolic Assessment and PathwaysThe groups discusses takeaways from various studies on the interrelatedness of concurrent metabolic conditions and the influence of liver health.40:57 Calling All Parties to Invest in Fighting Fatty LiverIf you enjoy the episode, have questions or interest around endocrinology and Fatty Liver disease, we kindly ask that you submit reviews wherever you download the discourse.

Central nervous system (CNS) tumors account for a quarter of all cancers in children aged 1 to 19 years. Nearly 70% of CNS tumors can be effectively treated, but early detection is critical to allow for the best possible treatments and outcomes. Too often, CNS tumors are initially misdiagnosed as more common pediatric conditions such as migraine, gastroenteritis or other psychologic and behavioral problems. In this episode, we discuss the classic signs and presentations of CNS tumors to support early detection. Our guest for today's episode is Dr. Green. Dr. Green is part of the Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders Team at Children's Hospital Colorado and is Assistant Professor of Pediatrics, Hematology/Oncology/and Bone Marrow Transplantation at the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
Sepsis impacts over 1.7 million Americans each year resulting in over 270,000 deaths (a death every 2 minutes). According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study, as many as 87% of sepsis cases begin outside of the hospital, so early identification and treatment in the post-acute setting is key to reducing morbidity and mortality in this population. Healthcare personnel in skilled nursing facilities play a significant role in early identification and treatment of sepsis. This presentation will overview sepsis, its pathophysiology, signs and symptoms and treatment within the context of skilled nursing and long term care (LTC). It will outline an early identification and treatment process for sepsis and how to incorporate it into usual work processes including communication strategies to providers that focus on action. Strategies for patient and family education will also be reviewed. To watch the lecture, and learn more about the speaker, please visit https://www.continulus.com

Mom Enough: Parenting tips, research-based advice + a few personal confessions!
Babies and young children are learning and doing new things every day. But parents often worry that their child's development isn't quite the same as the child next door. Or, perhaps they notice that their child's development seems slower in one area than another (walking early, for example, but not beginning to say words). There is a wide range of what's normal in early childhood, and it's not unusual for a child to develop at different rates in different domains. Nonetheless, it's a good idea to check out concerns. The good news is that there are free resources to help you know if your child's development is on track. These resources include online, research-based information about developmental milestones, as well as early childhood screening (free for any young child). If screening identifies a possible problem and further assessment shows that your child qualifies, free early intervention services are available. These supports are tailored to your child's needs and your preferences (with services available, for example, in your home or even online). In this episode of Mom Enough, Anna Paulson, Program Coordinator for Help Me Grow Minnesota, brings a wealth of information and practical ideas for how you can understand and support your child's optimal development. And she makes a strong case for how early intervention can make a lifelong difference for a child's learning and development. IS YOUR CHILD'S DEVELOPMENT ON TRACK? Visit the Help Me Grow website and take a look at the information and videos on developmental milestones for a child the age of yours. What does this suggest about how your child is learning and developing in different areas (motor, language, cognitive, social-emotional)?

Clinical utilisation of the Infant Monitor of vocal Production (IMP) for early identification of communication impairment in young infants at-risk of cerebral palsy: a prospective cohort studyR Ward, N Hennessey, E Barty, C Elliott, J Valentine & R Cantle MooreABSTRACTAim: To report prospective longitudinal data of early vocalisations of infants identified “at-risk” of cerebral palsy (CP) for early identification of communication impairment.Method: This case-control longitudinal prospective cohort study reports on the assessment of 36 infants, 18 identified as at-risk of CP at the time of enrolment and 18 typically developing (TD) children, at three time points: 6 months, 9 months and 12 months of age, Data were obtained through criterion and norm referenced assessments of vocalisation behaviours.Results: Early vocal behaviours of infants identified as at-risk of CP did not differ from their age matched peers at 6 months of age, however, significant group differences emerged at 9 and 12 months when pre-canonical and canonical babble typically emerge. Generalised linear mixed models analysis showed that the rate of development of early language ability and more complex speech-related vocal behaviours was slower for infants at risk of CP when compared to TD infants, with over 75% of infants with CP showing below normal vocal production and impaired language by 12 months of age.Interpretation: Our data suggest characteristics of infant vocalisations associated with pre-canonical and canonical babbling provide a strong evidence base for predicting communication outcomes in infants at risk of CP.https://doi.org/10.1080/17518423.2021.1942280

Listen in as we discuss early identification and treatment of hearing loss in infants and toddlers. Sydney lists signs and symptoms to look for in infants and toddlers that could indicate possible hearing loss and how to advocate for your child if you have concerns about your child's hearing. Sydney shares when hearing first develops (it's sooner than you think!) and why and what to do if baby fails the initial hearing screenings. We talk about early amplification options and the recommended ages baby can access them along with the impact too many ear infections may have on hearing. This podcast episode if full of information great for parents of littles but also professionals in the field to stay abreast of what to look for and educate families on when it comes to hearing.
Literacy, a fundamental human right, is foundational for a child’s potential toward academic and lifelong success. For children with language-based learning disabilities such as dyslexia, mastering skilled reading can feel like an impossible endeavor without necessary support and teaching using proven instructional methods. Fortunately, there are powerful research-based antidotes toward potentially preventing a destiny of reading failure. In this episode, Hugh Catts, PhD explains why early screening and proven, effective reading intervention are critical to mitigating reading disabilities in children. He outlines the research supporting the current model, developed with Yaacov Petscher, PhD, which examines the factors that increase the probability of developing dyslexia. Being able to identify these factors is important to better understand how to effectively screen and provide more comprehensive support for all students, offering implications for research, policy, and education.Bookmarks and Resources:Do you want to learn more from this episode?

Every intimate garment does not fit every woman, especially after breast cancer. Dana Donofree experienced this first-hand. She started her entrepreneurial journey to not only design a beautiful bra that fit her but to empower other women to find confidence in their body and feel sexy after living with breast cancer. About Dana Dana is young, vibrant, energetic, and empowering women daily. Her journey is not the typical experience you would expect for a 37-year-old. She always had an entrepreneurial spirit, but it wasn't until she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 27 that her current journey presented itself. Dana's journey will inspire you to be your own healthcare advocate, start facing your fears, and take action. She will enlighten you on breast cancer awareness and action you need to take to be your own advocate. Talking about Breast Cancer and The Changes Women Experience After Dana had reconstructive surgery 10 years ago, she couldn't find a bra that fit and quickly discovered that there were very few young women that she could ask for advice or support. She finally found a middle-aged breast cancer survivor who gave her the opportunity to begin having the much-needed conversations. It was through these conversations that Dana learned that options were limited and she wasn't the only woman struggling to find comfort and feel sexy again. Not only did Dana begin creating beautiful intimates for herself and other women with breast cancer, but she also opened the door for difficult conversations and has been empowering other women since. Ana Ono Dana's brand began as a mission to create comfortable bras that didn't have underwire or molded cups. Traditional bras do not fit post-mastectomy. She quickly realized that the world needed bra options for many other reasons such as open-heart surgery, shoulder surgery, and even young girls whose breasts are developing at different rates. Ana Ono now provides the options that women around the world need to feel comfortable, confident, and sexy in their own skin. The Entrepreneurial Journey Dana's journey as an entrepreneur started when she was very young. She is a fashion designer and always had the goal of having her own clothing line. Dana recommends that if you have dreams and goals, you should live life the way they want to, push fear aside, and do what you want to do. Don't wait until there is a life event to push you into doing what you dream of because time is running out. If you have an idea, don't stop before you start. There is a way to find financing and make your dream come to life. Breast Cancer Awareness and Action Although great strides have been made for breast cancer awareness and treatment, there is much work that needs to be done. We now need more action than awareness. We know breast cancer exists. It is the second leading cause of death in women. Awareness is no longer the issue. One in eight women is diagnosed with breast cancer. Over 40,000 people are being buried each year because of the disease. Men get breast cancer too. Breast cancer is a real threat to lives and it is truly an epidemic. Years of life have been lost focusing on awareness versus taking action to create new and better treatments. The increase in awareness has helped with earlier diagnosis. However, since the advent of COVID, breast cancer diagnoses are down 50%. That doesn't mean that the incidence has gone down, it means that people aren't going to the doctor and aren't getting mammograms. If people aren't getting diagnosed, the disease will be more advanced upon diagnosis, and there will be less time for treatment. Research Funding for Breast Cancer Treatment Billions of dollars have been raised because of the pink ribbons we see on products, but chances are that the money raised is not funding the necessary research for treatment. The money is funding awareness. But it's research that saves lives. Of funds raised, only two to three percent goes towards research for the treatment of metastatic stage 4 breast cancer. Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer is the only breast cancer that kills. Early diagnosis doesn't mean you survive. People with an early breast cancer diagnosis have a one in three chance of advancing to metastatic disease. Breast cancer is not cured. Organizations that Fund Research Metavivor is an organization that puts 100% of donations towards cancer research. Larger organizations have so much power, but they aren't using the funding for research. It's a disadvantage because, without the research, there is no advancement in treatment or a cure. The median life span of stage 4 metastatic breast cancer is 36 months. That is not a stat we should accept and do nothing about. Three Pillars of Supporting Breast Cancer Patients There are three areas of support needed for patients with breast cancer. The three areas are: Funding Support for Research Emotional support for patients Financial support for patients Living Beyond Breast Cancer is one such organization in the Philadelphia area that provides the aforementioned support for breast cancer patients. Many communities have local organizations that provide similar services and support. Early Identification of Breast Cancer It is important to note that mammograms are not perfect identification tools. Only 7 to 10 percent of breast cancer diagnoses are made from the results of mammograms. This statistic is not based on patients who found a lump first, these are stats for patients having a routine screening. Note that you are your best detection tool. Mark your calendar for the same day every month so that your breasts will feel the same based on your cycle. If you feel a change, such as a lump, skin irritation, discharge from the nipple, itching, or heat, call your doctor. Should your doctor dismiss your concern, do not take the answer “it's nothing”. Follow your gut and push for answers. Be your own advocate. See another doctor and ask for a scan, an ultrasound, and/or a mammogram. Do not take no for an answer and be your own advocate. You must fight for yourself to ensure you receive an early diagnosis. Learn more about your host, Robyn Graham, click HERE. To learn about The Brand Marketing Insider by Robyn Graham, click HERE.

In this episode I talk about the importance of early identification of young children with possible developmental delays. The key is knowing what to look for for each stage of development and what the next steps are to get more help and support. This identification can lead to early intervention and other therapies that can help not only children with possible autism but with any child with developmental delays.

Mom Enough: Parenting tips, research-based advice + a few personal confessions!
In the early months of life, a child grows and learns by leaps and bounds, making sense of language, emotions, social interactions and countless other aspects of the world around them. Between six months and one year there is a particular burst of development that is a veritable “social revolution.” But, as groundbreaking research is showing, children later diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show observable differences from their typically developing peers by one year of age. Yet far too often these children don’t receive intervention until years later. Professor Jed Elison from the U of M’s Institute of Child Development is one of the researchers leading the charge to improve the lives of children with ASD through early identification of autism and early intervention. In this week’s Mom Enough show, he calls us all to become informed, advocate for services and reduce the stigma of ASD. What new information did you hear in this Mom Enough discussion about early identification of autism? If signs of ASD are observable as early as 12 months, why do you think the average age at which Minnesota children with ASD get service is 4.9 years? What can you do to help change that?

Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is a common inherited condition but most cases remain undiagnosed. The disease causes abnormally high levels of cholesterol in the blood and dramatically increases a person's risk of heart attack. In this episode, we speak to Steve Humphries, Professor of cardiovascular genetics at UCL and Professor Jane Armitage, a lipid expert from the University of Oxford. Mark Fisher has now traced the condition through several generations of his family and explains how early identification and statins have saved his children's lives.

This week I spoke with Elham Shaabani and Paulo Shakarian (@PauloShakASU) about their recent paper Early Identification of Violent Criminal Gang Members (also available onarXiv). In this paper, they use social network analysis techniques and machine learning to provide early detection of known criminal offenders who are in a high risk group for committing violent crimes in the future. Their techniques outperform existing techniques used by the police. Elham and Paulo are part of the Cyber-Socio Intelligent Systems (CySIS) Lab.

Remarkably elevated levels of phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) are measurable in human blood samples in cases of acute pancreatitis. The source of the enzyme was first thought to be exclusively the pancreas, but now it is generally accepted that two isoenzymes the pancreatic PLA(2), group I, and the extrapancreatic PLA(2), group II contribute to the raised activity. In contrast to the group II-PLA(2), the pancreatic PLA(2) is heatresistant for 1 hour at 60 degreesC. The catalytically inactive proenzyme of the pancreatic PLA(2) can be activated by trypsin. The aim of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of PLA(2) isoenzyme activity measurements to identify patients with severe complications in acute pancreatitis. Blood samples from patients suffering from acute pancreatitis were analyzed for catalytically active pancreatic PLA(2) on day 1 and 2 of hospitalization with a modified radiometric Escherichia colibased PLA(2) assay. In 10 of 41 patients clearly elevated values of catalytically active, heatresistant pancreatic PLA(2) (7.2 to 81.2 U/l) were observed. This group of patients was characterized by severe complications (necrotizing pancreatitis, shock, sepsis, respiratory problems) of which two patients subsequently died. Patients with low or undetectable activity (
