Optic neuropathies encompass all congenital or acquired conditions affecting the optic nerve and are often a harbinger of systemic and central nervous system disorders. A systematic approach to identifying the clinical manifestations of specific optic neuropathies is imperative for directing diagnostic assessments, formulating tailored treatment regimens, and identifying broader central nervous system and systemic disorders. In this episode, Gordon Smith, MD, FAAN speaks with Lindsey De Lott, MD, MS, author of the article “Optic Neuropathies” in the Continuum® April 2025 Neuro-ophthalmology issue. Dr. Smith is a Continuum® Audio interviewer and a professor and chair of neurology at Kenneth and Dianne Wright Distinguished Chair in Clinical and Translational Research at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia.

Dr Smith: Hello, this is Dr Gordon Smith. Today I'm interviewing Dr Lindsey De Lott about her article on optic neuropathies, which appears in the April 2025 Continuum issue on neuro-ophthalmology. Lindsey, welcome to the podcast, and perhaps you can introduce yourself to our audience. Dr De Lott: Thank you, Dr Smith. My name is Lindsey De Lott and I am a neurologist and a neuro-ophthalmologist at the University of Michigan. I also serve as the section lead for the Division of Neuro-Ophthalmology, which is actually part of the ophthalmology department rather than the neurology department. And I spend a good portion of my time as a researcher in health services research, and that's now about 60% of my practice or so. Dr Smith: I'm super excited to spend some time talking with you. One, I'm a Michigan person. As we were chatting before this, I trained with Wayne Cornblath and John Trobe, and it's great to have you. I wonder if we maybe can begin- and by the way, your article is outstanding. It is such a huge topic and it was actually really fun to read, so I encourage our listeners to check it out. But you begin by talking about misdiagnosis as being a common problem in this patient population. I wonder if you can talk through why that is and if you have any pearls or pitfalls in avoiding it? Dr De Lott: Yeah, I think there's been a lot of great research looking at misdiagnosis in specific types of optic neuropathies; in particular, compressive optic neuropathies and optic neuritis. A lot of that work has come out of the group at Emory and the group at Washington University. But a lot of neuro-ophthalmologists across the country really contributed to those data. And one of the statistics that always strikes me is that, you know, for example, in patients with optic nerve sheath meningiomas, something like 70% of them are actually misdiagnosed. And a lot of those errors in diagnosis, whether it's for compressive optic neuropathy or some other type of optic neuropathy, really comes down to the way that physicians are really incorporating elements of the history in the physical. For example, in optic neuritis, we know that physicians tend to anchor pretty heavily on pain in general. And that often tends to lead them astray when optic neuritis was never the diagnosis to begin with. So, it's really overindexing on certain things and not paying attention to other features of the physical exam; for example, say presence of an afferent pupillary defect. So, I think it just really highlights the need to have a really relatively structured approach to patients that you think have an optic neuropathy when you're trying to sort of plan your diagnostic testing and your treatment. Dr Smith: I do maybe five or six weeks on our hospital service each year, and I don't know if it's just a Richmond thing, but there's always at least two people in my week who come in with an optic neuropathy or acute vision loss. How common is this in medical practice? Or neurologic practice, I should say? Dr De Lott: Optic neuropathies themselves… if you look across, unfortunately we don't have any great data that puts together all optic neuropathies and gives us an actual sort of prevalence estimate or an incidence estimate from year to year. We do have some of those data for specific types of optic neuropathies like optic neuritis and NAION, and you're probably looking around five-ish per one hundred thousand. So, these aren't that common, but at the same time they do get funneled to- often to emergency rooms and to neurologists from our ophthalmology colleagues and optometry colleagues in particular. Dr Smith: So, one other question I had before kind of diving into the topic at hand is how facile neurologists need to be in recognizing other causes of acute visual loss. I mean, we see acute visual loss as neurologists, we think optic neuropathy, right? Optic neuritis is sort of the go-to in a younger patient, and NAION in someone older. But what do neurologists need to know about other ophthalmologic causes? So, glaucoma or acute retinal disorders, for instance? Dr De Lott: Yeah, I think it's really important that neurologists are able to distinguish optic neuropathies from other causes of vision loss. And so, I would really encourage the listeners to take a look at the excellent article by Nancy Newman about vision loss in this issue where she really kind of breaks it down into vision loss that is acute and chronic and how you really think through distinguishing optic neuropathies from other causes of vision loss. But it is really important. For example, a patient with a central retinal artery occlusion may potentially be eligible for treatments. And that's very different from a patient with optic neuritis and acute vision loss. So, we want to be able to distinguish these things.  Dr Smith: So maybe we can pivot to that a little bit. Just for our listeners, our focus today is going to be on- not so much on optic neuritis, although obviously we need to talk a little bit about how we differentiate optic neuritis from non-neuritis optic neuropathies. It seems like the two most common situations we encounter are ischemic optic neuropathies and optic neuritis. Maybe you can talk a little bit about how you distinguish these two? I mean, some of it's age, some of it's risk factors, some of it's exam. What's the framework, of let's say, a fifty-year-old person comes into the emergency room with acute vision loss and you're worried about an optic neuropathy? Dr De Lott: The first step whenever you are considering an optic neuropathy is just making sure that the features are present. I think, really going back to your earlier question, making sure that the patient has the features of an optic neuropathy that we expect. So, it's not only vision loss, but it's also the presence of an apparent pupillary defect in a patient with a unilateral optic neuropathy. In a person who has a bilateral optic neuropathy, that apparent pupillary defect may not be present because it is relative. So, you really would have to have asymmetric vision loss between the two eyes. They should also have impairment of their color vision, and they're probably going to have some kind of visual field defect, whether that's central scotoma or an arcuate scotoma or an altitudinal defect that really respects the horizontal meridian. So, you want to make sure that, first and foremost, you've got a patient that really meets most of those- most of those features. And then from there, we're looking at the other features on their history. How acute is the onset of the vision loss? What is the progression over time? Is there pain associated or not associated with the vision loss? What other medical issues does the patient have? And you know, one of the things you already brought up, for example, is, what's the age of the patient? So, I'm going to be much more hesitant to make a diagnosis of optic neuritis in a much older patient or a diagnosis on the other side, of ischemic optic neuropathy, in a much younger patient, unless they have really clear features that push me in that direction. Dr Smith: I wonder if maybe you could talk a little bit about features that would push you away from optic neuritis, because, I mean, people who are over fifty do get optic neuritis- Dr De Lott: They do. Dr Smith: -and people who get ischemic optic neuropathies who are younger. So, what features would push you away from optic neuritis and towards… let's be broad, just a different type of optic neuropathy? Dr De Lott: Sure. We know that most patients with optic neuritis do have pain, but that pain is accompanied---within a few days, typically---with vision loss. So, pain alone going on for a number of days without any visual symptoms or any of those other things I listed, like the afferent papillary defect, the visual field defect, would push me away from optic neuritis. But in general, yes, most optic neuritis is indeed painful. So, the presence of optic disc edema is unfortunately one of those things that an optic neuritis may be present, may not be present, but in somebody with ischemia that is anterior---and that's the most common type of ischemic optic neuropathy, would be anterior ischemic optic neuropathy---they have to have optic disc edema for us to be able to make that diagnosis, and that is a diagnosis of NAION, or nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy. An APD in this case, again, that's just a feature of an optic neuropathy. It doesn't really help you to distinguish, individual field defects are going to be relatively similar between them. So then in patients, I'm also looking, like I said, at their history. So, in a patient where I'm entertaining a diagnosis of ischemic optic neuropathy, I want to make sure that they have vascular risk factors or that I'm actually doing things like measuring their blood pressure in the office if they haven't seen a physician recently or checking a lipid panel, hemoglobin A1c, those kinds of things, to look for vascular risk factors. One of the other features on exam that might push me more- again, in a patient with ischemic optic neuropathy, where it might suggest ischemia over optic neuritis, would be some other features on exam like a crowded optic disc that we sometimes will see in patients with ischemic optic neuropathy. I feel like that was a bit of a convoluted answer. Dr Smith: I thought that was a great answer. And when you say crowded optic disc, that's the- is that the “disc at risk”? Dr De Lott: That is the “disk at risk,” yes. So, crowded optic disk is really a disk that is smaller than what we see in the average population, and the average cup to disk ratio is 0.3. So, I think that's where 30% of the disk should be. So, this extra wiggle room, as I sometimes will explain to my patients. Dr Smith: And then, I wonder if you could talk a little bit about more- just more about exam, right? You raised the importance of recognizing optic disc edema. Are there aspects of that disc edema that really steer you away from optic neuritis and towards ischemia-like hemorrhages or whatnot? And then a similar question about the importance of careful visual field testing? Dr De Lott: So, on the whole, optic disc edema is optic disc edema. And you can have very severe optic neuritis with hemorrhages, cotton wool spots, which is essentially just an infarction of the retinal nerve fiber layer either overlying the disc or other parts of the retina. And ischemia, you can have some of the same features. In patients who have giant cell arteritis, which is just one form of anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, patients can have a pallid optic disc edema where the optic disc is swollen and white-looking. But on the whole, swelling is swelling. So, I would caution anyone against using the features of the optic nerve swelling to make any type of, sort of, definitive kind of diagnosis. It's worth keeping in mind, but I just- I would caution against using specific features, optic nerve swelling. And then for visual field testing, there are certain patterns that sometimes can be helpful. I think as I mentioned earlier, in patients with ischemic optic neuropathy, we'll often see an altitudinal defect where either the top half or, more commonly, the bottom half of the vision is lost. And that vision loss in the field corresponds to the area of swelling on the disk, which is really rewarding when you're actually able to see sectoral swelling of the disk. So, say the top half of the disk is swollen and you see a really dense inferior defect. And other types of optic neuropathy such as hereditary optic neuropathies, toxic and nutritional optic neuropathies, they often cause more central field loss. And in patients who have optic neuropathies from elevated intracranial pressure, so papilladema, those folks often have more subtle visual field loss in an arcuate pattern. And it's only once the optic nerves have sustained a pretty significant injury that you start to see other patterns of field loss and actual decline in visual acuity in those patients. I do think a detailed visual field assessment can often be pretty helpful as an adjunct to the rest of the exam. Dr Smith: So, we haven't talked a lot about neuroimaging, and obviously, neuroimaging is really important in patients who have optic neuritis. But how about an older patient in whom you suspect ischemic optic neuropathy? Do those patients all need a MRI scan? And if so, is it orbits and brain? How do you- how do you protocol it? Dr De Lott: You're asking such a good question, totally controversial in in some ways. And so, in patients with ischemic optic neuropathy, if you are confident in your diagnosis: the patient is over the age of fifty, they have all the vascular, you know, they have vascular risk factors. And those vascular risk factors are things like diabetes, hypertension, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea. They have a “disc at risk” in the fellow eye. They don't have pain, they don't have a cancer history. Then doing an MRI of the orbits is probably not necessary to rule out another cause. But if you aren't confident that you have all of those features, then you should absolutely do an MRI of the orbit. The MRI of the brain probably doesn't provide you with much additional information. However, if you are trying to distinguish between an ischemic optic neuropathy and, say, maybe an optic neuritis, in those patients we do recommend MRI orbits and brain imaging because the brain does provide additional information about other CNS demyelinating disorders that might be actually the cause of a patient's optic neuritis. Dr Smith: I wonder if you could talk a little bit about posterior ischemic optic neuropathy. That's much less common, and you mentioned earlier that those patients don't have optic disk edema. So, if there's a patient who has vision loss that- in a similar sort of clinical scenario that you talked about, how do you approach that and under what circumstances do we see patients who have posterior ischemic optic neuropathy? Dr De Lott: So, you're going to most often see patients with posterior ischemic optic neuropathy who, for example, have undergone a recent surgery. These are often associated with things like spinal surgeries, cardiac surgeries. And there are a number of risk factors that are associated with it. Things like blood pressure, drain surgery, the amount of blood loss, positioning of patient. And this is something that the surgeons and anesthesiologists are very sensitive to at this point in time, and many patients are often- this can be part of the normal informed consent process at this point in time since this is something that is well-recognized for specific surgeries. In those patients, though… again, unless you're really certain, for example, maybe the inpatient neurology attending and you've been asked to consult on a patient and it's very clear that they went into surgery normal, they came out of surgery with vision loss, and all the rest of the features really seem to be present. I would recommend that in those cases you think about orbital imaging, making sure you're not missing anything else. Again, unless all of the features really are present- and I think that's one of the themes, definitely, throughout this article, is really the importance of neuroimaging in helping us to distinguish between different types of optic neuropathy. Dr Smith: Yeah, I think one of the things that Eric Eggenberger talks about in his article is the need to use precise nomenclature too, which I plan on talking to him about. But I think having this very structured approach- and your article does it very well, I'll tell our listeners who haven't seen it there's a series of really great tables in the article that outline a lot of these. I wonder, Lindsey, if we can switch to talk about arteritic optic neuropathy. Is that okay? Dr De Lott: Sure. Yeah, absolutely. Dr Smith: How do you sort that out in an older patient who comes in with an ischemic optic neuropathy? Dr De Lott: Yeah. In patients who are over the age of fifty with an ischemic optic neuropathy, we always need to be thinking about giant cell arteritis. It is really a diagnosis we cannot afford to miss. If we do miss it, unfortunately, patients are likely to lose vision in their fellow eye about 1/3 to 1/2 the time. So, it is really one of those emergencies in neuro-ophthalmology and neurology. And so you want to do a thorough review systems for giant cell arteritis symptoms, things like headache, jaw claudication, myalgias, unintentional weight loss, fevers, things of that nature. You also want to check their inflammatory markers to look for evidence of an elevated ESR, elevated C-reactive protein. And then on exam, what you're going to find is that it can cause an anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, as I mentioned earlier. It can cause palette optic disc swelling. But giant cell arteritis can also cause posterior ischemic optic neuropathy. And so, it can be present without any swelling of the optic disc. And in fact, you know, you mentioned one of my mentors, John Trobe, who used to say that in a patient where you're entertaining the idea of posterior ischemic optic neuropathy, who is over the age of fifty with no optic disc swelling, you should be thinking about number one, giant cell arteritis; number two, giant cell arteritis; number three, giant cell arteritis. And so, I think that is a real take-home point is making sure that you're thinking of this diagnosis often in our patients who are over the age of fifty, have to rule it out. Dr Smith: I'll ask maybe a simple question. And presumably just about everyone who you see with a presumed ischemic optic neuropathy, even if they don't have clinical features, you at least check a sed rate. Is that true? Dr De Lott: I do. So, I do routinely check sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein. So, you need to check both. And the reason is that there are some patients who have a positive C-reactive protein but a normal sedimentation rate, so. And vice versa, although that is less common. And so both need to be checked. One other lab that sometimes can be helpful is looking at their CBC. You'll often find these patients with giant cell arteritis have elevated platelet counts. And if you can trend them over time, if you happen to have a patient that's had multiple, you'll see it sort of increasing over time. Dr Smith: I'm just thinking about how you sort things out in the middle, right? I mean, so that not all patients with GCF, sky-high sed rate and CRP…. And I'm just thinking of Dr Trobe's wisdom. So, when you're in an uncertain situation, presumably you go ahead and treat with steroids and move to biopsy. Maybe you can talk a bit about that pathway? Dr De Lott: Yeah, sure. Dr Smith: What's the definitive diagnostic process? Do you- for instance, the sed rate is sky-high, do you still get a biopsy? Dr De Lott: Yes. So, biopsy is still our gold-standard diagnosis here in the United States. I will say that is not the case in all parts of the world. In fact, many parts of Europe are moving toward using other ancillary tests in combination with labs and exam, the history, to make a definitive diagnosis of giant cell arteritis. And those tests are things like temporal artery ultrasound. We also, even though we call it temporal artery ultrasound, we actually need to image not only the temporal arteries but also the axillary arteries. The sensitivity and specificity is actually greater in those cases. And then there's high-resolution imaging of the vessels and the- both the intracranial and extracranial distributions. And both of those have shown some promise in their predictive values of patients actually having giant cell arteritis. One caution I would give to our listeners, though, is that, you know, currently in the US, temporal artery biopsy is still the gold standard. And reading the ultrasounds and the MRIs takes a really experienced radiologist. So, unless you really know the diagnostic accuracy at your institution, again, temporal artery biopsy remains the gold standard here. So, when you are considering giant cell arteritis, start the patient on steroids and- that's high dose, high dose steroids. In patients with vision loss, we use high dose intravenous methylprednisolone and then go ahead and get the biopsy. Dr Smith: Super helpful. And are there other treatments, other than steroids? Maybe how long do you keep people on steroids? And let's say you've got a patient who's, you know, diabetic or has other factors that make you want to avoid the course of steroids. Are there other options available? Dr De Lott: So, in the acute phase steroids are the only option. There is no other option. However, long term, yes, we do pretty quickly put patients on tocilizumab, which is really our first-line treatment. And I do that in conjunction with our rheumatology colleagues, who are incredibly helpful in managing and monitoring the tocilizumab for our patients. But when you're seeing the patients, you know, whether it's in the emergency room or in the hospital, those patients need steroids immediately. There are other steroid-sparing agents that have been tried, but the efficacy is not as good as tocilizumab. So, the American College of Rheumatology is really recommending tocilizumab as our first line steroid-sparing agent at this point. Dr Smith: Outstanding.

Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) is one of the most dreaded diagnoses in ophthalmology; not only can it cause vision loss, but it can also be life threatening.  So what is the threshold for going down the 'GCA diagnostic path'? When should one order an ESR and CRP?  When is the concern high enough to warrant a temporal artery biopsy, and when should steroids be started?  How is temporal artery biopsy changing our diagnostic alogirthm.  Dr. Andrew Lee joins the podcast. This episode of the podcast is sponsored by Thea Pharma Canada - https://www.theapharma.caBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/blind-spot-the-eye-doctor-s-podcast--5819306/support.

ETHAN STOWELL We're diving into the story of Ethan Stowell—a name that's become synonymous with the culinary world in Seattle. He comes from a family of artists, specifically ballet dancers. He's not just a chef; he's an innovator who's left an indelible mark on his community. Ethan started with a vision back in 2003 when he opened Union, his first restaurant in downtown Seattle, praised for its simplicity and its elegance right out of the gate. From there, Ethan Stowell Restaurants, or ESR, grew into something truly remarkable. We're talking about Tavolàta, with its pasta-inspired focus, and How to Cook a Wolf, which brings this delicate, almost artful approach to dining, among others. Oh, and there's Ballard Pizza Company—it's like, the perfect neighborhood pizza spot. He makes high-quality food feel accessible and welcoming. What's even more impressive is how ESR has expanded, now covering over a dozen concepts and over twenty locations, including in Idaho and New York City—and it doesn't stop there. Ethan's team has partnered with iconic brands like the Seattle Mariners. And even with all that growth, there's this real effort to stay anchored in the community. Back in 2008, he was named one of *Food Wine*'s Best New Chefs, and in 2020, he was a semifinalist for a James Beard Award in the Outstanding Restaurateur category. Those aren't just titles—they're windows into the kind of impact he's had, both regionally and nationally. It's stories like Ethan's that remind us how passion, vision, and a commitment to community can truly shape industries and, honestly, create experiences people cherish.

Two second-half goals from Emile Smith Rowe and Adama Traore sealed Fulham's three points against Leicester who have had seven losses out of eight, a pretty dismal showing. A toxic atmosphere at the King Power suggested that Van Nistelrooy's lifetime with the Foxes might be short. Leicester's poor performance does not take away from the comfortable, stylish display from Marco Silva's Fulham side. Sander Berge returned to the starting line-up as George, with Avais, George Rossiter and Yasmin, reflect on what was a stellar performance from him in the midfield. A calm and assured presence consistently broke up any essence of Leicester threat and helped Fulham fans' shoulders relax a little more. We react to ESR's redeeming diving header that put Fulham in front just after half-time which will hopefully boost his confidence going forward to an exciting Manchester United fixture. Rossiter and Avais tell the tales of what was an eventful away day, including a Network Rail heist and a masterclass in drumming.

Romina Pourmokhtari (L): Utsläppen i år ökar mer än vi bedömt i våra beräkningar

Ekots lördagsintervju

Klimat- och miljöministern om att Sveriges utsläpp ökar snabbare än beräknat, samtidigt som kolinlagringen i skog och mark minskar kraftigt. Och om slopat förbud mot uranbrytning i Sverige. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I år väntas svenska klimatutsläpp öka kraftigt. Under det första halvåret ökade utsläppen från svensk ekonomi med sex procent enligt SCB:s statistik från det första och andra kvartalet. Enligt Eurostat är Sverige det EU-land där utsläppen ökade mest under det andra kvartalet. Under det första kvartalet har Malta och Litauen större utsläppsökning.Att utsläppen skulle öka i år var väntat eftersom regeringen kraftigt sänkte reduktionsplikten i januari, men nu visar statistik över bränsleleveranser under årets tre första kvartal att ökningen blir ännu större än regeringen beräknat. ”Det vi märker här är att det diffar lite. Vår bedömning var att det skulle öka förra året men det minskade. Och nu märker vi att det ökar mer än vi hade bedömt. Och skälen är att den höga inflationen är dämpad, svenska hushåll har mer pengar i plånböckerna, och att reduktionsplikten har sänkts temporärt.”, säger Romina Pourmokhtari (L).Klimatministern säger att även om Sveriges utsläpp skulle öka något mer än beräknat i år så kommer Sverige klara EU-målet för utsläpp från inrikes transporter, ESR-målet, eftersom det finns marginaler i regeringens prognoser. Den slutliga klimatstatistiken från Naturvårdsverket publiceras först i slutet av nästa år. I veckan publicerades 2023 års statistik som visar att utsläppen då minskade med knappt två procent. Förväntningarna var att utsläppen skulle öka något i fjol, men den ekonomiska lågkonjunkturen drog ner utsläppen, framför allt från industrin.Kraftigt minskad kolsänkaVäxande skog fungerar som en kolsänka som lagrar koldioxid som motverkar klimatförändringar. Enligt EU:s LULUCF-förordning behöver inlagringen av kol i svensk skog och mark öka med fyra miljoner ton till 2030 för att vi ska klara det klimatmålet. Men just nu går utvecklingen snabbt i motsatt riktning, mellan 2022 och 2023 minskade kolinlagringen i svensk skog och mark med hela sju procent.”Det är väldigt allvarligt. Vi har ju gjort upp en plan under många år i EU. Där utgår man ju från en viss nivå av tillväxt i skogen, en viss nivå av lagring i marken, och nu upptäcker vi att planeten och skogarna inte lagrar så mycket som vi bedömde.”, säger Romina Pourmokhtari (L).Slopat uranförbudI februari tillsatte regeringen en snabbutredning om att tillåta uranbrytning i Sverige. Nu är utredningen klar och regeringen går vidare med förslaget att ta bort det förbud mot uranbrytning som den förra regeringen införde 2018.Men klimat- och miljöministern kan inte ge besked om ifall det kommunala vetot ska vara kvar eller ej, hon säger att regeringen nu tittar på flera olika lagändringar och att det exempelvis är oklart hur man ska klassa uran som utvinns som biprodukt i gruvor där huvudsakligen andra metaller och mineraler utvinns.”Om man nu hittar uran när man har annan gruvnäring, då måste man idag hantera det som avfall och de är ju ett enormt resursslöseri, att om vi har gruvor i Sverige som bryter uran, då måste de hantera de som avfall och jag tycker inte att vi ska gör avfall av resurser som vi kan använda och det är därför också vi plockar bort den här lagen”, säger Romina Pourmokhtari.Gäst: Romina Pourmokhtari (L), klimat- och miljöminister Programledare: Katarina von ArndtKommentar: Daniel VärjöTekniker: Susanne MartinssonProducent: Maja LagercrantzIntervjun spelades in torsdagen den 19 december.

Whooping Cough A national epidemic has just been declared in New Zealand. Reported 260+ cases diagnosed in past four weeks. Whooping cough is potentially a fatal disease especially in younger children and babies less than one year. Three babies died last year in New Zealand from whooping cough when we didn't have an epidemic! What is whooping cough? Caused by a bacteria called pertussis. Damages lining of throat and lungs causing cough. Cough can go on for weeks or months – called ‘100' day cough. Very easy to catch – spreads through the air – cough/sneezing - one person can on average spread to 12 others. What are the signs? Depends on age - Younger the child more at risk of becoming very unwell. Starts with runny nose, temp and sneezing 1-2 weeks Cough develops, very irritating, bouts of coughing with gasping for air between coughs, may last minutes and may vomit after cough. Older children typically whoop as they gasp for breath. Younger infants less than 6 months: go blue with cough spasms, stop breathing, not able to feed, get exhausted – may need hospital. Gradually over weeks, up to 3 months cough gets better. In older adults and children – symptoms less severe. Who is at risk? Partially immunized children. Babies too young for their first immunization at 6 weeks. Children with heart or lung conditions. How is it treated? Antibiotics may reduce the severity if given early and can reduce spread. However, there is no treatment for the cough once it starts. Babies: The cough may make the baby difficult to breath and unable to feed. Sometimes will need to go to hospital for oxygen treatment and feeding through a nasal tube. How do you prevent it and when to see your doctor? Immunization is the only protection. In particular pregnant mums after 16 weeks should be immunized as gives protection to baby in first6 weeks of life. Partially immunized children at risk. See your doctor if your child has difficulty breathing or looks unwell. Call ambulance if child or baby goes blue coughing, stops breathing or seizure. Current outbreak The latest ESR data, which covers the four weeks up to 8 November, showed rates were highest among infants less than a year old, those most vulnerable to severe disease, and with a high proportion requiring hospitalisation. It also identified hotspots in in Wairarapa, Southern, Whanganui and Capital and Coast health districts. Wairarapa had 13 cases, which was by far the highest rate at 25.4 cases per 100,000 people. That was followed by Southern at 11.6 (42 cases), Whanganui at 11.4 (8 cases) and Capital and Coast at 10.4 (34 cases).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 180: Pediatric Hip PainFuture Dr. Pena-Brockett explains the differential diagnosis in a 14-year-old patient who has a new onset of left hip pain. Dr. Arreaza adds comments and explains toxic synovitis.  Written by Natalie Pena-Brockett, MSIV, California Health Sciences University. 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.Having a limping kid can be terrifying. Many questions may cross your mind: Is this a permanent damage? What is going on here? Where is the pain located? Do I need to send this child to the hospital? Today, hopefully, we can help you ease some of your fears. Case: This is a 14-year-old boy with no past medical history, no trauma, presents to the family medicine clinic with a complaint of left-sided hip pain. Mom notes that her son has been limping for the last week and complaining of pain in his left hip and knee when he walks. He has never experienced this pain before this week. He does not take any medications. Physical exam: He is afebrile and all of his vitals are within normal limits. On exam, you note that his BMI is at the 90th percentile (overweight), and has an antalgic gait where he is favoring the right side and has tenderness on his left groin. His left foot is turned outward while standing up straight. His left knee has negative findings on specialized tests, but he has restricted movement of the left hip. Discussion: This is a common topic that you will see on board exams or limping into your office. Although pediatric hip pain may seem like a benign musculoskeletal concern, taking the time to take a complete history and perform a thorough physical exam is critical to assess the severity of the patient's concern.Physical Exam for Pediatric Hip Pain.Observation: Every physical exam begins the moment you first see the patient. This allows you to gauge the patient's comfort level, the natural stature, length, and positioning of the patient's extremities, skin changes, gait, and ability to bear weight. Palpation: In medicine, our hands are one of our greatest tools for evaluating patients, especially those with musculoskeletal concerns. This is the time to palpate the area for any tenderness or gross deformities of the pelvis, hip, knee, or leg. Special Tests: In the world of MSK, we have all sorts of tests to evaluate the range of movement of our joints and tendons. When specifically evaluating the hip, the most common are the FABER(flexion, abduction, external rotation),test to assess the sacroiliac joint, Ober's Test to assess the iliotibial band, and Straight Leg Raise to assess for lumbar radiculopathy.Legg-Calve Perthes Disease-Legg-Calve Perthes disease is an idiopathic avascular necrosis of the femoral head. -It is most commonly observed in patients between the ages of 2-12 years and in a higher ratio of males to females 1. -It often manifests as an atraumatic limp with limited movement in abduction and internal rotation. -X-ray imaging may demonstrate a widening of the joint space and sclerosis of the femur, and MRI will confirm osteonecrosis of the femoral head. -Early diagnosis is key to minimizing the risk of developing osteoarthritis of the hip. -The goal of treatment is to maintain the shape of the femoral head and the range of motion of the hip. -The first-line treatment includes managing pain with NSAIDs, limiting weight-bearing activity, and physical therapy for range of motion.-If the disease progresses, bracing and casting can be used to retain the femoral head within the acetabulum to keep the shape and integrity of the femoral head. In more serious cases, a surgical osteotomy may be done to cut and realign the bones. Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)-Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a pediatric condition that results in unilateral or bilateral instability of the hip due to the abnormal development of the acetabulum or femur. -This is most commonly seen in newborns, especially those which develop in a breech position. -These patients often present with a shortened leg or asymmetric gluteal creases and a Trendelenburg gait when walking. -The Trendelenburg gait is an abnormal gait caused by weak hip abductor muscles. The person's trunk shifts over the affected hip during the stance phase of walking and away from it during the swing phase, making it look like the person is missing steps or limping. -On physical exam, hip joint laxity can be evaluated with the Ortolani and Barlow maneuvers to apply pressure to the proximal femur to assess dislocatability of the hip joints. These maneuvers would both be considered positive if a “clunk” is felt over the hip as this means that the hip is dislocated with pressure. Due to the patient's age usually being under 6 months old, ultrasound is the most common imaging modality to confirm the diagnosis, otherwise, an X-ray can be used. -The treatment in patients under 18 months old, a Pavlik Harness is often used to treat patients to maintain the placement of the hip within the acetabulum. -Patients between the ages of 18 months and 9 years old, are most often treated with open or closed reduction of the hip. -There is generally less success in reduction treatment of children older than 9 years old as they have likely developed femoral head deformities and are at greater risk of osteonecrosis. -Children with DDH should continue to be monitored with regular imaging to evaluate for complications. These patients should also be made aware that they are also at increased risk of requiring a hip replacement, especially if their treatment included a reduction. 2Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE)-Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE) is one of the most common pediatric hip pathologies in which the capital femoral epiphysis is anterolaterally displaced from the femoral neck. -Although slightly more common in males than females between the ages of 10 to 16, the greatest risk factor for an SCFE is childhood obesity 3. -Common symptoms include an insidious onset of unilateral hip pain and a change in gait due to the displacement of the hip from the acetabulum. In some instances of chronic SCFE, some patients will experience ipsilateral knee pain due to compensation. -A SCFE can be evaluated with an AP radiograph which will demonstrate a widened physis in the early stages or the classic “slipped ice cream cone sign” which is the posterior displacement of the femoral epiphysis. -Management of a SCFE includes limiting weight-bearing activities as well as screw fixation by an orthopedic surgeon to stabilize the hip.Patients should consider pinning the contralateral hip due to increased risk of developing a future SCFE. Early diagnosis is critical as untreated SCFE can lead to osteonecrosis.Osgood-Schlatter-Osgood-Schlatter is a repetitive-use pediatric condition as a result of traction to the growth plate of the tibial tubercle. -This pathology is most common in male children between the ages of 9 to 14 years old 4. -Active athletes or children with rapid growth spurts are at greater risk of developing Osgood-Schlatter than non-active children.-These children often present with an achy knee pain that can lead to a unilateral limping gait.  On physical exam, these patients often have a bony prominence over the tubercle that is tender to palpation with greater tenderness over the patellar tendon. -The knee will have full range of motion and stability, but will likely have a warmth and erythema over the knee.  Imaging of the knees can have nonspecific findings and diagnosis is made clinically. -For management, it is recommended that children continue their regular activities and rest with NSAIDs for pain management as needed 5. Physical therapy can be prescribed to prevent deconditioning as this can result in recurrence or additional injuries.Arreaza: It seems like the pain is more localized to the knee, but it can be referred to the hip. If you have tenderness on the tibial tubercle, you got the diagnosis. Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA)-Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a systemic rheumatologic condition in children that often presents as a polyarticular pain. The onset of disease is often bimodal with peaks between 2 to 5 years old and 10 to 14 years old. 6-Patients will often complain of minor symmetric joint pain and stiffness until an infection causes an inflammatory reaction that exacerbates the joint pain or can increase joint involvement. Small joints are the most likely to be involved, but hips and knees can also be affected. -Lab evaluation will demonstrate inflammation with an elevated ESR, low hemoglobin, and a positive ANA. -Disease management starts with NSAIDS for pain control and can escalate to immunosuppressive measures for moderate disease7.Toxic Synovitis-Toxic synovitis, also known as transient synovitis, is the leading cause of acute hip pain and limping in children aged 2–12, more commonly affecting boys. -This self-limited inflammatory condition, often confused by its name as "toxic," has no relation to a toxic state. It typically arises after an upper respiratory or other viral infection (e.g., rubella or coxsackie virus).-Children with toxic synovitis may show mild to moderate hip pain, limp, and keep their hip in abduction and external rotation. Movement is usually possible within a limited range, and weight-bearing is often maintained.-Evaluation: A thorough history and physical exam are key, as laboratory tests like CBC, ESR, and CRP are often normal, mainly used to rule out other conditions like septic arthritis. X-rays typically show no abnormalities, although small changes may appear. Ultrasound can help detect joint effusion and rule out septic arthritis if no effusion is present.Arreaza: DDX: DDH, SCFE, Osgood Schlatter, and toxic synovitis.Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment in Pediatric Hip PathologiesSacroiliac Articulatory Technique- this is a technique in which you move the joint into an out of its barrier to reduce restriction and improve movementCounterstrain of Tender points (psoas, piriformis, hip adductors)- in this technique we shorten the muscle to decrease tension.  This allows the muscle to increase blood lymphatic flow to reduce nociceptive and proprioceptive activity of the muscleBalanced Ligamentous Tension of the Innominate- with this technique, we manipulate the joint in a way that moves the ligaments into neutral position so that there is balance in all planes of motion.  The goal is to again release tension within the muscles and the jointClinical Decision Making Now that we have covered the most common differential diagnoses for pediatric hip pain, let's revisit our patient presentation and identify the key characteristics to determine which diagnosis he most likely has.The patient is 14 years old.  This makes DDH and Legg-Calve Perthe less likely, and SCFE more likely.He has been complaining of symptoms for 1 week, which indicates that is not likely a chronic condition. This makes DDH and Osgood-Schlatter less likely.The patient has never experienced joint pain like this before.  This makes JIA, DDH, and Osgood-Schlatter less likely.The patient is overweight. This makes SCFE more likely.The unilateral hip tenderness and no knee pain.      This makes Osgood-Schlatter and JIA less likely.The patient has antalgic gait and limited internal rotation of the foot. This makes Legg-Calve Perthes and SCFE more likely. Now when we take the epidemiological factors, the history of the present illness, and the physical exam findings into account, this patient's presentation best aligns with a SCFE. We would order a bilateral AP and Frog-leg views of the hips. If either imaging shows a widened physis or the classic “ice cream cone sign”, this is when we would start the referral process for an orthopedic surgery consultation for internal fixation. As family medicine physicians, we would give instructions for strict non-weight bearing activities and analgesics or anti-inflammatories for pain management.Keep in mind some of the DDX: Calve Legg-Perthes disease, Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH), Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), Osgood Schlatter, toxic synovitis, and Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis (SCFE). Hopefully, the next time you have a pediatric patient present with a complaint of hip pain, you'll feel more comfortable evaluating and working up the case._________________________This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Natalie Pena-Brockett.

Send us a textShow Notes:In this eye-opening episode of Inflamed in the Brain, host Krissy tackles a topic that resonates with many—how to know if your inflammation is improving without relying on lab tests or weight loss. As a registered dietitian who has personal experience managing inflammation from MS, Krissy dives into practical ways to recognize progress beyond the numbers.Introduction to the Episode:Krissy kicks off by acknowledging the overwhelming pressure to lose weight or rely on expensive lab work to gauge inflammation. She highlights that weight isn't the root cause of inflammation and debunks the idea that weight loss alone will make it disappear. By addressing visceral fat and inflammation, Krissy shows the complexity of the body's relationship with fat, emphasizing that not all fat is harmful and that inflammation impacts everyone differently.Weight and Inflammation:Krissy offers listeners a compassionate reminder that hyper-focusing on visceral fat can increase stress—and stress, as she explains, is another inflammatory trigger. She shares insights into body acceptance, the nuanced role of fat in inflammation, and why focusing on bigger-picture lifestyle changes is more effective than obsessing over weight loss.She warns against extreme diets and low-calorie eating patterns that leave you feeling hungry and deprived, noting that these approaches can worsen inflammation by increasing stress hormones and dysregulating hunger cues.Why Lab Work Isn't Always the Answer:Although there are lab tests like CRP, ESR, and organic acid tests to measure inflammation, Krissy reminds listeners that these are expensive, not always accessible, and don't paint the full picture. Lab numbers can fluctuate due to various factors, including genetics and lifestyle. She even shares her personal story of navigating lab results during her first MS flare-up—highlighting that, despite normal CRP levels, she still experienced symptoms.Krissy's focus today is on empowering her audience to tune into their body's own cues, offering ways to recognize improvement that aren't dependent on weight or labs.Main Points Covered in the Episode:Improved Symptoms: Krissy emphasizes that improvement in the symptoms that first led you to the doctor is a clear indicator that your inflammation is improving. Whether it's chronic fatigue, joint pain, or digestive issues, reduced severity or frequency of these symptoms is a key sign that your efforts are paying off. Krissy shares her experience with MS symptoms, reminding listeners to reflect on their progress, even if it's gradual.Boosted Energy Levels: Chronic inflammation often causes fatigue. When your energy starts improving, it's a sure sign that your inflammation is decreasing. Krissy explains how a reduction in chronic inflammation allows the body to redirect energy away from fighting inflammation and towards daily tasks, leading to fewer naps, better motivation, and more consistency in life.Better Digestion: Improved digestion—fewer instances of bloating, constipation, and diarrhea—is a huge sign that inflammation in the gut is decreasing. Krissy talks about the connection between gut health, dysbiosis, and systemic inflammation, explaining how inflammation in the gut can lead to a wide range of issues. As your gut heals, these digestive issues often resolve, showing your body is healing from the inside out.Reduced Joint Pain and Stiffness: Joint pain isn't just an issue for the elderly.

Men det handlar också om att stärka hushållens köpkraft”, säger Elisabeth Svantesson.Sveriges har just nu den högsta arbetslösheten på tio år, bortsett från under pandemin. Regeringen räknar med att deras skattesänkningar och arbetsmarknadsåtgärder ska leda till sex tusen fler sysselsatta. Kritiker menar att regeringen borde satsa mer för att få ner arbetslösheten. Elisabeth Svantesson säger att det viktigaste är att vända konjunkturen, satsa på utbildning och yrkesutbildning och jobba med stöd till den som stått länge utanför arbetsmarknaden.”Det handlar om språket, alldeles för många kvinnor som har invandrat till Sverige kan inte prata svenska. Det leder till att deras barn – många går inte på förskola – nästan inte kan prata svenska när de kommer till skolan. Allt det där, cementerat utanförskap, som vi nu tar tag i, det kommer inte gå snabbt men vi gör det väldigt fokuserat, med språket, med utbildning men också, rätt så snart, med en stor bidragsreform som gör att man måste vara aktiv och att det aldrig ska löna sig för en familj lika bra att vara hemma som att föräldrarna tar ett jobb.”, säger Elisabeth Svantesson.Långt kvar till EU:s klimatmålEnligt budgetens klimatredovisning kommer regeringens politik på området – som sänkt bensinskatt, sänkt flygskatt, förändrad reduktionsplikt och klimatklivet – att minska klimatutsläppen med 1,5-1,8 miljoner ton koldioxidekvivalenter mellan 2025 och 2030. Samtidigt beräknas Sveriges utsläpp öka med 3-4 miljoner ton i år. Enligt regeringen kommer Sverige ändå att klara EU-målet om minskade utsläpp från bland annat inrikes transporter (ESR) till 2030.Men i klimatredovisningen står också att Sverige kan missa klimatmålet om ökat kolupptag i skog och mark (LULUCF-förordningen) med hela 19 miljoner ton koldioxid till 2030. Regeringen har inte kommit med förslag på hur kolupptaget i skog och mark ska öka så kraftigt som förordningen kräver.I budgeten finns pengar avsatta för att Sverige ska kunna köpa utsläppsutrymme från andra EU-länder på sikt. Men enligt Elisabeth Svantesson har regeringen inte bestämt om man ska gå den vägen. Hon hänvisar till den parlamentariska Miljörådsberedningen som ska ta ställning till hur Sverige ska göra för att klara åtaganden i LULUCF-förordningen.”Det vi är enade om är att vi ska nå målen, vi har lite olika vägar mellan olika partierna hur vi gör det, men de ska nås”, säger Elisabeth Svantesson.Gäst: Elisabeth Svantesson (M), finansministerKommentar: Fredrik Furtenbach, inrikespolitisk kommentator på EkotProgramledare: Katarina von ArdntProducent: Maja LagercrantzTekniker: Joachim PerssonIntervjun spelades in fredag den 20 september

My top treatment approaches for Lyme disease

Unfortunately, there simply isn't a one-size-fits-all treatment protocol for patients infected with Lyme disease and/or co-infections. This is why it's critical for physicians treating Lyme disease to invest time with patients, thoroughly understand their medical history, and closely monitor symptoms and treatment response. With that in mind, there are currently two different treatment approaches for Lyme disease. The Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA) and the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society (ILADS) have each published their own set of evidence-based treatment guidelines. IDSA guidelines recommend a short course of antibiotics, typically 14 to 30 days. IDSA argues that the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria do not persist in a patient beyond this timeframe and that lingering symptoms are the result of an ongoing immune response and not an active infection. It also cites scientific evidence claiming treatments beyond 30 days are ineffective, unnecessary, and even dangerous. IDSA physicians will stop treatment after 30 days, even if symptoms remain. They advise an additional 30 days of treatment recommended for patients with Lyme arthritis.  On the contrary, ILADS offers its own scientific data to show that a additional treatment with antibiotics is required to eradicate the bacteria. ILADS recognizes that a month of treatment may be sufficient for patients in the acute stage of Lyme disease, but in cases where the spirochete has disseminated and the disease has advanced, a 30-day treatment regimen is inadequate. ILADS guidelines recommend additional antibiotics until a patient's symptoms have been resolved. Treating Lyme disease in its advanced stage can be complicated based on the complexity of the organism itself, differences in each patient's immune system, the length of time infected, and the possible presence of other co-infections transmitted by the same tick. There are several choices in treating Lyme disease, which include oral, intravenous, and intramuscular antibiotic options. Other options may include sequential antibiotic therapy, higher doses of antibiotics, taking antibiotics for a longer period of time, a combination of antibiotics, retreatment, as well as diagnosing and treating co-infections. Some specific antibiotics used in treating Lyme disease are doxycycline, minocycline, amoxicillin, cefuroxime, azithromycin, and clarithromycin. Other tests include measures of blood counts, chemistries, liver function tests, ANA, dsDNA, RF, TSH, free T3, free T4, ESR may be helpful at ruling out other conditions.  Referral to specialist might help to rule out other conditions.  I find shared decision with my patient helpful. I also find follow-up helpful to assess my patient's response to treatment to rule out other conditions. There are additional protocols that may also aid in treating Lyme disease, such as avoiding alcohol, simple and processed sugars, exercising as tolerated, counseling for a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction, managing symptoms, monitoring and reducing the risk of an adverse event, and reducing stress. However, there is a chance of side effects such as Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD). Probiotic have been prescribed with the hope of reducing the risk of developing CDAD.

Episode 173: Acute OsteomyelitisFuture Dr. Tran explains the pathophysiology of osteomyelitis and describes the presentation, diagnosis and management of acute osteomyelitis. Dr. Arreaza provides information about    Written by Di Tran, MSIII, Ross University School of Medicine. Editing and 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.What is osteomyelitis?Osteomyelitis, in simple terms, is an infectious disease that affects both bone and bone marrow and is either acute or chronic.  According to archaeological findings of animal fossils with a bone infection, osteomyelitis was more than likely to be known as a “disease for old individuals”.Our ancestors over the years have used various vocabulary terms to describe this disease until a French surgeon, Dr. Nelaton, came up with the term “Osteomyelitis” in 1844. This is the beauty of medical terms, Latin sounds complicated for some people, but if you break up the term, it makes sense: Osteo = bone, myelo = marrow, itis = inflammation. So, inflammation of the bone marrow.Traditionally, osteomyelitis develops from 3 different sources:First category is the “hematOgenous” spread of the infection within the bloodstream, as in bacteremia. It is more frequent in children and long bones are usually affected. [Arreaza: it means that the infection started somewhere else but it got “planted” in the bones]Second route is “direct inoculation” of bacteria from the contiguous site of infection “without vascular insufficiency”, or trauma, which may occur secondary to fractures or surgery in adults.  In elderly patients, the infection may be related to decubitus ulcers and joint replacements.And the third route is the “contiguous” infection “with vascular insufficiency”, most seen in a patient with a diabetic foot infection.Patients with vascular insufficiency often have compromised blood supply to the lower extremities, and poor circulation impairs healing. In these situations, infection often occurs in small bones of the feet with minimal to no pain due to neuropathy.They can have ulcers, as well as paronychia, cellulitis, or puncture wounds.Thus, the importance of treating onychomycosis in diabetes because the fungus does not cause a lot of problems by itself, but it can cause breaks in the nails that can be a port of entry for bacteria to cause severe infections. Neuropathy is an important risk factor because of the loss of protective sensation. Frequently, patients may step on a foreign object and not feel it until there is swelling, purulent discharge, and redness, and they come to you because it “does not look good.”Acute osteomyelitis often takes place within 2 weeks of onset of the disease, and the main histopathological findings are microorganisms, congested blood vessels, and polymorphonuclear leukocytes, or neutrophilic infiltrates.What are the bugs that cause osteomyelitis?Pathogens in osteomyelitis are heavily depended on the patient's age.  Staph. aureus is the most common culprit of acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in children and adults.  Then comes Group A Strep., Strep. pneumoniae, Pseudomonas, Kingella, and methicillin-resistant Staph. aureus.  In newborns, we have Group B Streptococcal. Less common pathogens are associated with certain clinical presentations, including Aspergillus, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and Candida in the immunocompromised.Salmonella species can be found in patients with sickle cell disease, Bartonella species in patients with HIV infection, and Pasteurella or Eikenella species from human or animal bites.It is important to gather a complete medical history of the patient, such as disorders that may put them at risk of osteomyelitis, such as diabetes, malnutrition, smoking, peripheral or coronary artery disease, immune deficiencies, IV drug use, prosthetic joints, cancer, and even sickle cell anemia. Those pieces of information can guide your assessment and plan.What is the presentation of osteomyelitis?Acute osteomyelitis may present symptoms over a few days from onset of infection but usually is within a 2-week window period.  Adults will develop local symptoms of erythema, swelling, warmth, and dull pain at the site of infection with or without systemic symptoms of fever or chills.Children will also be present with lethargy or irritability in addition to the symptoms already mentioned.It may be challenging to diagnose osteomyelitis at the early stages of infection, but you must have a high level of suspicion in patients with high risks. A thorough physical examination sometimes will show other significant findings of soft tissue infection, bony tenderness, joint effusion, decreased ROM, and even exposed bone. Diagnosis.As a rule of thumb, the gold standard for the diagnosis of osteomyelitis is bone biopsy with histopathology findings and tissue culture. There is leukocytosis, but then WBC counts can be normal even in the setting of acute osteomyelitis.Inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR) are often elevated although both have very low specificity. Blood cultures should always be obtained whenever osteomyelitis is suspected.  A bone biopsy should also be performed for definitive diagnosis, and specimens should undergo both aerobic and anaerobic cultures.  In cases of osteomyelitis from diabetic foot infection, do the “probe to bone” test. What we do is we use a sterile steel probe to detect bone which is helpful for osteomyelitis confirmation.Something that we can't miss out on is radiographic imaging, which is quite important for the evaluation of osteomyelitis.  Several modalities are useful and can be used for the work-up plan; plain radiographs often are the very first step in the assessment due to their feasibility, low cost, and safety.  Others are bone scintigraphy, CT-scan, and MRI.  In fact, the MRI is widely used and provides better information for early detection of osteomyelitis than other imaging modalities.  It can detect necrotic bone, sinus tracts, and even abscesses. We look for soft tissue swelling, cortical bone loss, active bone resorption and remodeling, and periosteal reaction.  Oftentimes, plain radiography and MRI are used in combination. Treatment:Treatment of osteomyelitis actually is a teamwork effort among various medical professionals, including the primary care provider, the radiologist, the vascular, the pharmacist, the podiatrist, an infectious disease specialist, orthopedic surgeons, and the wound care team.Something to take into consideration, if the patient is hemodynamically stable it is highly recommended to delay empirical antibiotic treatment 48-72 hours until a bone biopsy is obtained.  The reason is that with percutaneous biopsy ideally done before the initiation of antibiotic treatment, “the microbiological yield will be higher”.We'll have a better idea of what particular bugs are causing the problem and guide the treatment appropriately. The choice of antibiotic therapy is strongly determined by susceptibilities results.  The antibiotic given will be narrowed down only for the targeted susceptible organisms.  In the absence of such information, or when a hospitalized patient presents with an increased risk for MRSA infection, empiric antibiotic coverage is then administered while awaiting culture results. It should be broad-spectrum antibiotics and include coverage for MRSA, broad gram-negative and anaerobic bacteria.  For example, vancomycin plus piperacillin-tazobactam, or with broad-spectrum cephalosporin plus clindamycin.  Treatment will typically be given for 4 to 6 weeks.The duration between 4-6 weeks is important for complete healing, but a small study with a small sample showed that an even shorter duration of 3 weeks may be effective, but more research is needed. In certain situations, surgery is necessary to preserve viable tissue and prevent recurrent infection, especially when there are deep abscesses, necrosis, or gangrene, amputation or debridement is deemed appropriate. If the infected bone is completely removed, patients may need a shorter course of antibiotics, even a few days only. Amputation can be very distressing, especially when we need to remove large pieces of infected bone, for example, a below-the-knee amputation. We need to be sensitive to the patient's feelings and make a shared decision about the best treatment for them.In patients with diabetes, additional care must be taken seriously, patient education about the need for compliance with treatment recommendations, with careful wound care, and good glycemic control are all beneficial for the healing and recovery process. Because this is a very common problem in the clinic and at the hospital, we must keep our eyes wide open and carefully assess patients with suspected osteomyelitis to detect it promptly and start appropriate treatment. Adequate and timely treatment is linked to fewer complications and better outcomes._________________________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 173, “Acute Osteomyelitis.” Future Dr. Tran explained the pathophysiology, diagnosis, and management of osteomyelitis. A bone biopsy is the ideal method of diagnosis. Delaying antibiotic treatment a few days until you get a biopsy is allowed if the patient is stable, but if the patient is unstable, antibiotics must be started promptly. Dr. Arreaza mentioned the implications of amputation and that we must discuss this treatment empathically with our patients. This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Di Tran.

How do you know if your hives are chronic spontaneous urticaria?  Join Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta in the second episode of this chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) series as they delve into the diagnostic journey of CSU.  Have you wondered if the path to a chronic spontaneous urticaria diagnosis is long? CSU can feel like a very complex disease to diagnose due to the lack of identifiable triggers, but this episode breaks down the steps healthcare professionals take to diagnose CSU.  Dr. G clarifies how allergists' and dermatologists' roles differ in diagnosing CSU. The episode emphasizes the importance of a detailed medical history and the tests involved in ruling out other conditions. It also describes the journey of determining CSU from other skin and allergic reactions through meticulous evaluation and specific testing methods. What we cover in our episode about diagnosing Chronic Spontaneous Urticaria: Introduction to CSU Diagnosis: CSU has no identifiable triggers, making diagnosis a process of elimination. Role of Specialists: Patients often start their diagnosis journey at urgent care, after which they consult allergists and dermatologists depending on the severity and symptoms of hives. Detailed Medical History: Essential questions cover medications, infections, travel history, and other health changes to rule out underlying causes. Physical Examination: Doctors check if hives are “blanchable” to differentiate from other conditions like vasculitis. Ruling out other Conditions: This involves evaluating other conditions in which hives are a symptom, such as mast cell disease or various autoimmune diseases.  Necessary Tests: Doctor's apprehension about doing a food allergy test unless necessary. Other tests include looking at blood count (CBC with differential) and inflammation (ESR or CRP).  More resources about chronic spontaneous urticaria:  Chronic Urticaria Management, Resources & Glossary of Terms: https://allergyasthmanetwork.org/health-a-z/chronic-urticaria/management-and-resources/ What is Chronic Urticaria: https://allergyasthmanetwork.org/health-a-z/chronic-urticari This episode is produced in partnership with Allergy & Asthma Network.

On this edition of the ArsenalVision Podcast, Tim is joined by Paul and Clive to review the Forest game and preview the Liverpool game. The pod starts with an overall analysis of the performance at Forest. Naturally that includes plenty on ESR getting his first start of the league season and covers other individual performances, with a focus on Jesus as well. Then the pod turns its attention to the Liverpool fixture at the weekend, asking the questions about whether it's a must win, and discussing how Arsenal might setup and what to expect from the game. There's also some time for a review of a very quiet January transfer window. All that and more in this edition of the ArsenalVision Podcast.
