Request an invitation to the Veterinary Dental Practitioner Program. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Host: Dr. Brett Beckman, Board Certified Veterinary Dentist In this episode of The Vet Dental Show, Annie Mills, LVT, VTS (Dentistry), dives into the latest advancements in periodontal therapy, addressing questions about perioceutics like Doxyrobe and Clindoral. She also shares insights on anesthesia monitoring, specifically the use of esophageal probes during dental procedures. What You'll Learn: ✅ The efficacy of Doxyrobe and Clindoral based on recent studies. ✅ Introduction to Perio Vi, a hyaluronic acid gel, as a new perioceutic. ✅ Proper techniques for root planing and when to use perioceutics. ✅ The role of blood clots in extraction sites and when bone grafts are necessary. ✅ Current strategies for managing periodontal pockets and tissue regeneration. ✅ Considerations for using esophageal probes during dental anesthesia. ✅ Tips for optimizing workflow and minimizing obstructions in the oral cavity during procedures. Key Takeaways: ✅ A 2019 study indicated that Doxyrobe and Clindoral may not provide significant benefits over root planing alone. ✅ Perio Vi, a hyaluronic acid gel, shows promising results in pocket depth reduction and tissue regeneration. ✅ Perioceutics are most effective when used in conjunction with root planing for periodontal pockets and mild vertical bone loss. ✅ Blood clots are crucial for healing extraction sites, often eliminating the need for bone grafts. ✅ Esophageal probes can be useful for anesthesia monitoring, but their practicality in dental procedures depends on workflow preferences. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't miss out on the opportunity to become a Veterinary Dental Practitioner!

Dr. Lisa Mathew interviews Dr. Raman Muthusamy, professor of clinical medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and medical director of endoscopy for UCLA Health, about a new clinical guideline for endoscopic eradication therapy to prevent the progression of Barrett's esophagus to esophageal cancer. Esophageal cancer is preventable if high-risk patients, such as those with Barrett's Esophagus, are treated with endoscopic eradication therapy to eliminate the Barrett's tissue. Endoscopic eradication therapy is highly effective, but the challenge is identifying the high-risk patients to treat and the low-risk patients for whom long-interval surveillance may be appropriate. Join Dr. Mathew and Dr. Muthusamy as they explore new technologies for identifying patients who are most at risk and the potential innovations that could stop a majority of Barrett's Esophagus patients from progressing to esophageal cancer.

Esophageal pressure measurement plays a crucial role in estimating transpulmonary pressure, with both its absolute values and variations being key factors in assessing lung injury from mechanical forces during ventilation. To gain deeper insights into esophageal pressure monitoring and the essential equipment required for accurate measurement, tune in to the NEXT podcast. Luigi Zattera, the NEXT representative, conducted an insightful interview with Lise Piquilloud, head of the Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) section.

In early 2020, it became difficult for Clinton to eat. It was during the pandemicand much harder at the time to see a doctor, so it took a while before he was able to get checked out. In January 2021, Clinton was diagnosed with esophageal cancer that metastasized into his lungs. His treatment included six months on a feeding tube, chemotherapy and radiationtreatments. In summer 2021, he received an esophagectomy and now comes in forchemotherapy every other week. He will continue these sessions for the foreseeablefuture. The American Cancer Society estimates that there will be about 22,370 newesophageal cancer cases diagnosed (17,690 in men and 4,680 in women) in 2024. Esophageal cancer is more common among men than among women. Thelifetime risk of esophageal cancer in the United States is about 1 in 127 in men andabout 1 in 434 in women.

Episode 174: GERD in AdultsCommon and atypical symptoms are presented. Pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management are discussed. H. pylori's role is discussed during this episode. Written by Jacquelyn Garcia MS4 Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Definitions: Gastroesophageal reflux (GER): occasional backflow of stomach acid into the esophagus. It's a common physiological process that happens to many people, especially after meals. Occurs less than twice a week. Associated with mild and temporary symptoms such as heartburn or regurgitation. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): a chronic and more severe form of GER. It occurs when acid reflux happens frequently, typically more than twice a week, and/or causes esophageal injury/complications. -Non-erosive reflux disease (NERD)= GER without evidence of esophageal injury on endoscopy. -Erosive reflux disease (ERD)= GER with evidence of esophageal injury on endoscopy.AFP Journal, January 2024: “Nonerosive GERD does not increase the likelihood of esophageal cancer. However, erosive GERD is associated with a doubled, but still low, risk of developing cancer, with the likelihood increasing over time.”Pathophysiology:The main pathophysiology behind GERD is lower esophageal sphincter (LES) dysfunction which can occur due to the following:-LES Pressure: The LES is a muscular ring at the junction of the esophagus and stomach. It normally maintains a high-pressure zone to prevent reflux. In GERD, the intragastric pressure is higher than the pressure created by the LES. The tone of the LES can be reduced by caffeine, nitroglycerin, and scleroderma. -Transient LES Relaxations (TLESRs): These are normal relaxations of the LES that occur independently of swallowing. In GERD, these relaxations are more frequent or prolonged, allowing acid to reflux into the esophagus.-Anatomic abnormalities: A hiatal hernia occurs when a portion of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragm into the chest cavity. This disrupts the normal anatomy of the gastroesophageal junction, reducing the pressure barrier and promoting reflux.Epidemiology: It affects 10-20% of adults in Western cultures and less than 5% in Asia. Prevalence in the US ranges from 18.1% to 27.8% with a slightly higher rate in men. Risk factors: -Obesity, pregnancy, scleroderma, hiatal hernia; smoking, caffeine, alcohol, stress, fatty/fried/spicy foods. Spicy foods can be a challenge in some cultures (e.g. Mexican and Indian.) Sometimes, patients may ask for “something” to stop GERD but all they may need is dietary modification. -Medications: -aspirin, ibuprofen, clindamycin, tetracycline, bisphosphonates (irritate the esophagus and cause heartburn pain similar to GERD) -anticholinergics, TCA's, CCB's, ACEi, statins, benzodiazepines, theophylline, opioids, progesterone (increase acid reflux and worsen GERD)Clinical features: Typical symptoms: -heartburn (burning retrosternal pain) -regurgitation (acidic stomach contents)Atypical symptoms: -chest pain (can mimic angina pectoris, squeezing/burning substernal, radiates to back/neck/jaw/arm) -water brash (hypersalivation)-globus sensation (lump in throat)-nausea -belching-bloating Alarm features in GERD: -dysphagia-odynophagia (pain with swallowing)-new onset of dyspepsia in ≥60yo -weight loss-GI bleeding-vomiting-anemia Diagnosis: -There is no gold standard test -Patient with typical symptoms: diagnosis can be based on clinical symptoms alone -Patient with atypical symptoms: these symptoms can be seen in GERD but are not sufficient for diagnosis of GERD in the absence of typical symptoms. Need to rule out other disorders before associating the symptoms with GERD. (ex: chest pain r/o other causes such as MI with ECG) -Patient with alarm features: refer to GI for upper GI endoscopy. Complications: -Esophagitis: Erosive reflux disease (ERD) = GER with evidence of esophageal distal injury on endoscopy; in untreated GERD 30% have esophagitis. -Iron deficiency anemia: due to mucosal ulcerations -> chronic bleeding.-Esophageal stricture: narrowing near GE junction, solid food dysphagia.-Barrett Esophagus: intestinal metaplasia of esophagus due to chronic GERD (stratified squamous epithelium replaced by columnar epithelium)-Risk factors: GERD for 5-10 years, >50yo, males, obesity, Caucasian, Tobacco use, family history                 -Predisposes to esophageal adenocarcinoma Role of H. pylori.Sometimes we tend to think that H. pylori is the cause of GERD. “H. pylori infection appears to protect the esophagus from gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett's esophagus, dysplasia in Barrett's esophagus, and esophageal adenocarcinoma, perhaps by causing chronic gastritis that interferes with acid production.”It is unclear whether long-term use of PPIs heightens the risk of atrophic gastritis in patients with H. pylori. Consequently, routine screening for H. pylori infection and empiric eradication of H. pylori are NOT advised for patients with GERD. However, if H. pylori is diagnosed in the setting of GERD, eradication of H. pylori has been associated with an improvement of symptoms in patients with antral-predominant gastritis. Treatment: Two categories: Mild/intermittent symptoms (

Gastric (stomach) and esophageal cancers are common malignancies that affect the first parts of the digestive tract. About 50,000 new cases of gastric and esophageal cancer will be diagnosed each year in the United States.

This week, Dr. Prather answers a common misconception about Iodine and Breast Cancer.  In this episode, you'll discover:—The extensive research showing how Low Iodine causes an increased chance of Breast Cancer and a faster growth in the Cancer.—Why the widespread belief of the medical profession that Iodine is dangerous is actually based upon a falsified study, which was paid for by the pharmaceutical companies and took 5 decades to debunk.—How Iodine used to be the most commonly prescribed medicine out there until the falsified study was published in 1948.  And the useful rhyme doctors used to quote about the importance of giving Iodine to patients.—Why Dr. Prather says that, "if you want good looking breasts then make sure your Iodine stays at a good level".  And how Iodine is important for the skin and has an anti-aging effect. —How Dr. Prather finds that 100% of patients in Indiana have Low Iodine.  And how Dr. Prather's office tests to make sure which form of Iodine will work best for your body.—How Iodine is "one of the most important things for any issue with the Breast", including Fibrocystic Breasts, preventing Breast Cancer, and improving the outcome of Breast Cancer.—The importance of Iodine in balancing our Hormones for optimal health.  And the link between a Hypothyroid (Low Functioning Thyroid) and Breast Cancer.—The Cancers that Iodine has been proven to help with, including: Breast, Stomach, Esophageal, Cervical, Ovarian, and Uterine Cancers.  And how Iodine helps prevent Cancer cells from replicating.—The benefits of Iodine for Men's health, including boosting Testosterone and being helpful with Prostate Cancer.  And the reason Selenium and the Zinc-Copper ratio are important considerations for Iodine to work properly in the body.—Why the Iodine levels of a breastfeeding Mom "makes a huge difference" for their child's I.Q.  And how proper Iodine levels can make your child bigger, stronger, healthier, and smarter.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

Sales Meetings with Purpose. Lisa Thal is an Author, Inspirational Speaker, and Business Coach with over 37 years of marketing, sales, and leadership experience. She wrote the book Three Word Meetings. Lisa coaches leaders on creating sales and business meetings with fun and interesting 3-word topics that spark conversation and inspire sales teams.   Episode 236, How your Attitude, Discipline, and Determination can make a difference in your business, relationships, and Health!   I would like to ask you a question on a scale of 1-10: How is your Attitude today? What do you think about your Discipline and determination? Take the time to assess your health, relationships, and business.    Looking back over the past six months, I see it has been a journey. My wife Olivia, during an endoscope, was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. For those who have not met Olivia, she is very active with Mountain Biking and hiking our Pups, eats healthy, and doesn't drink or smoke.    So when the doctor came in and shared that he was sure she had Esophageal cancer, we were a bit in shock. Looking back over the past six months, I feel that what made the difference in Olivia beating cancer was her Attitude, Discipline, and Determination in this challenging situation. And the Team of doctors at the Barrett Center at the University of Cincinnati.     Liv had to mentally prepare for what she was about to face physically. Rounds of Chemo, 28 days of radiations on her throat, which would make it challenging to swallow, and a significant 7-8 hour esophagectomy surgery.   Her Attitude was that she would fight through each situation, understanding that she would experience significant pain, but she had to keep moving forward. She was fighting for her life!   In addition to Liv's Attitude, I am most proud of her Discipline, whether it was how she would eat enough calories and protein in a day or even an hour when she couldn't swallow, her determination to walk our pups two miles after chemo treatments when mentally and physically challenged, or her determination to get up out of bed when in the ICU after a grueling 7-8-hour surgery. Liv is healing from surgery and is as determined as ever to return to her Mountain Bike.   Why am I sharing this story with you? Liv's story will inspire you to examine your health, relationships, and business.    Attitude, Discipline, and determination are three words that can fuel your success, and they are all in your control.    Why an Unwavering Attitude is Your Greatest Asset in Life and Business.   3 Tips to Unlocking Unprecedented Success:       Set Clear Goals and Stick to Your Plan The first step on the path of Discipline is setting clear goals. It is where you take control of your life, defining success in concrete terms and devising a systematic plan to achieve these goals. It involves focusing and holding yourself accountable to your daily schedule and tasks, which could include making a specific number of calls, personalizing follow-ups, or enhancing product knowledge. Remember, Discipline is choosing your long-term goals over short-term comfort in challenging times. This sense of control and capability fuels your determination and drives you towards success.     Develop Consistent Habits and Routines The power of routine is critical. Consistently following a structured day allows for efficiency and effectiveness in your sales strategy. Determination shows when you maintain client outreach, manage your CRM diligently, and practice your pitch or playbook even when leads are not converting as expected. Determination is the persistence through the mundane, trusting the process even when immediate results are not evident.     Learn, Adapt, and Overcome Setbacks  Your Discipline and Determination can be the difference-maker during times of failure and setbacks. In sales, rejection is a common occurrence. Approach each 'no' as an opportunity to learn and refine your approach. No, it means Not Yet. Stay determined to persist despite rejection, and be disciplined in analyzing your strategies, adapting to feedback, and improving your techniques. The real test of determination comes when you don't give up at the first sign of difficulty but rather see it as a stepping stone to eventual success. This resilience and determination sets you apart and keeps you moving forward.   Remember, Discipline is the foundation of sustained effort, and determination is the thrust that propels you forward amidst challenges. Attitude is Everything! How you approach each situation with I can, versus I won't will have you feeling more in control. In the competitive sales world, these qualities are beneficial and essential. They can create an unstoppable force in your sales career and personal accomplishments.   Do me a favor if someone can benefit from today's episode Share.

For Esophageal Cancer Awareness Month, Dr. Naresh Gunaratnam speaks with Dr. Srinadh Komanduri, associate chief of gastroenterology and hepatology and director of endoscopy at Northwestern Medicine, about efforts to educate the public about esophageal cancer and cutting-edge tools that are helping gastroenterologists determine which of their patients are at greatest risk of developing esophageal cancer. Esophageal cancer is preventable if high-risk patients, such as those with Barrett's Esophagus, are treated with endoscopic eradication therapy to eliminate the Barrett's tissue. Endoscopic eradication therapy is highly effective, but the challenge is identifying the high-risk patients to treat and the low-risk patients for whom long-interval surveillance may be appropriate. The Barrett's Esophagus surveillance program at Northwestern includes the TissueCypher test, which provides Dr. Komanduri and his colleagues with a personalized prediction of cancer progression risk based on molecular biomarkers that cannot be measured by traditional pathology. Join Dr. Gunaratnam and Dr. Komanduri to hear how gastroenterologists and pathologists can better identify patients who are most at-risk and provide the appropriate care to help prevent them from developing esophageal cancer.

It is a CAR T-cell therapy that modifies patient's T cells to target tumor antigens. The approval was based on the TRANSCEND CLL 004 study, showing a 20% complete response rate and a median duration of response not reached by the data cutoff. Tislelizumab for Esophageal SCC   - Tislelizumab-jsgr (Tevimbra) received FDA approval for unresectable or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients after prior systemic chemotherapy. The approval was based on the phase 3 RATIONALE 302 trial, which showed significant improvement in overall survival compared to chemotherapy (8.6 months vs. 6.3 months). This marks a critical advancement for patients with limited treatment options after first-line failures. Resmetirom for NASH   - The FDA approved resmetirom (Rezdiffra) for adults with non-cirrhotic non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with moderate to advanced fibrosis, to be used alongside diet and exercise. This is the first medication approved to directly address liver damage in NASH patients with significant liver scarring, acting as a partial activator of a thyroid hormone receptor to reduce liver fat. The approval, based on a 54-month trial, used a surrogate endpoint at 12 months to demonstrate improvement in liver scarring and inflammation. Maralixibat for Cholestatic Pruritus   - Maralixibat (Livmarli) oral solution was approved for treating cholestatic pruritus in patients aged 5 years and older with progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC). It is an orally administered ileal bile acid transporter inhibitor, showing efficacy in the Phase 3 MARCH clinical trial across various genetic types of PFIC. Additionally, a higher concentration formulation is under consideration to extend its use to younger PFIC patients. Guselkumab for UC   - A supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) has been submitted for guselkumab (Tremfya) for treating adults with moderate-to-severely active ulcerative colitis (UC). The submission is based on the QUASAR program results, demonstrating significant clinical remission at Week 44 compared to placebo. Guselkumab, a novel IL-23 inhibitor, has previously been approved for moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and active psoriatic arthritis, marking its potential expansion into UC treatment.

Liz Eidelman, whose name some of you may recognize as the funny mom on Instagram @lizeidelman, gave birth to her first child in the hospital with a team of med students present. She had an episiotomy she didn't want, a vacuum-assist that led to another flood of people in the room, and a baby who was whisked away to the NICU within moments of birth, leaving Liz in the dark about her baby's condition. Overhearing nurses whisper, "The mother doesn't know yet," added to her anxiety. What Liz and her husband soon learned was that their baby was born with esophageal atresia, necessitating a life-saving surgery on Day Two of their baby's life.Now, with the perspective of a few years and two births under her belt, Liz reflects on the many ways in which she was grossly mistreated in her birth, by the very people and system who helped her baby go from a status of "born incompatible with life" to healthy and well. Liz dives into how her labor could have taken a different course, not only the first time but also the second, had she been more aware of her rights within the hospital birth environment. Liz shares her personal story and reveals alarming details that ignited her passion to become a doula. She also created a thriving Instagram community for moms, where humor serves as the antidote for the challenges of parenting, birth, and life.
