Episode 45: Osteoporosis Update. Dr Linares (endocrinologist) explains the basics of screening and treatment of osteoporosis, referring frequently to the updated guidelines of osteoporosis by AACE and ACE (2020). A new group of residents is introduced. Congratulations to our new group of residents:  Amelia Martinez Lopez, Amardeep Singh Chetha, Cecilia Selena Covenas, Funmilayo Helen Idemudia, Licet Imbert Matos, Su Myat Hlaing, Timiiye Dawn Yomi, and Young Na Sung. This group of residents will start in July 2021 and will graduate in July 2024. We hope you enjoy your time with us.Today is March 22, 2021.Implanted pacemakers and defibrillators are equipped with a switch that responds to magnetic forces to stop them when needed. Magnetic interference between these cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) and mobile devices have been investigated for years. It has been established that magnetic fields stronger than 10 gauss can deactivate these cardiac devices, causing pacemakers to give asynchronous pacing and ICDs to stop tachyarrhythmia detection.The Heart Rhythm Society journal, published in October 2009 (that was 11 years ago), an association between portable headphones and significant electromagnetic interference (EMI) in patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD) and pacemakers (PM). 100 patients with implanted devices were tested with different portable headphones. Headphones effectively deactivated implanted devices when held less than 2 cm from skin on the left side of chest. There was not interference when headphones were placed farther than 3 cm. In this study, normal functioning of the devices was restored in 29 out of 30 cases when the headphones were removed from the patient’s chest. The recommendation from that study was to recommend patients to keep their portable headphones at least 3 cm away from their implanted device.More recently, in January 2021, the same journal posted the effect of iPhone 12 on ICDs deactivation. iPhone 12 and MagSafe technology, which allows faster wireless charging, contain strong magnets. iPhone 12 successfully deactivated a Medtronic Inc. ICD when tested by a group of investigators in a patient[2]. The official Apple Support website posted on February 25, 2021, “To avoid any potential interactions with these devices, keep your iPhone and MagSafe accessories a safe distance away from your device (more than 6 inches / 15 cm apart or more than 12 inches / 30 cm apart if wirelessly charging)”[3]. Other devices such as fitness tracker wristbands, and even e-cigarettes have been involved in deactivation of ICDs.Bottom line: Make sure your patient discusses with you or their cardiologist before buying wearable or mobile technology that may interfere with their implanted cardiovascular devices.This is Rio Bravo qWeek, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California. Our program is affiliated with UCLA, and it’s sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. “The secret of getting ahead is getting started” —Mark Twain.Osteoporosis UpdateDuring this conversation, we discussed some parts of the guidelines from the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) and the American College of Endocrinology (ACE)[2], updated in 2020. This is not a complete analysis of those guidelines. For a comprehensive explanation of the guidelines, visit the AACE or ACE websites. The recommendations from these organizations may be different than the ones given by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) or the United States Preventive Services Taskforce (USPSTF), which are organizations we are more familiar with as family physicians.The questions analyzed during this conversation includes:When would you consider a DEXA scan to screen a woman younger than 65 for osteoporosis? What to do when the report says Osteopenia (T score -1.0 to -2.5)? Let’s mention the recommended dose of Vitamin D and Calcium. What is the FRAX score?  What is an easy work up we can do to rule out a secondary cause of osteoporosis before sending patient to you? The new guidelines divide patients in two categories: “High risk/no risk of fractures” and “VERY High risk/prior fractures”, What’s the difference in management between those two categories? (alendronate in high risk vs abaloparatide in very high risk). How can you tell the patient has a good response after 1 year of treatment (Dexa scan, bone turnover markers)? What is a drug holiday? ___________________________Now we conclude our episode number 45 “Osteoporosis Update”. Dr Linares explained what the FRAX score is and mentioned the different options we have for treatment of osteoporosis. DEXA scan continues to be the gold standard for screening, diagnosis and monitoring of osteoporosis. We will announce the winner of the question of the month about polyarthralgia next week, and we wish our new group of residents a great start in July 2021. Remember, even without trying, every night you go to bed being a little wiser.Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek.

“When women learn to chart these observable external signs or symptoms that help them understand what's happening internally with their hormones, it is so empowering, and we really should be about empowering our patients with this information. I mean, that's why we encourage our patients to track with they're their eating, or patients with diabetes to monitor their blood sugar so that they can use that information to to make healthier choices to better improve their overall health and well-being.  Fertility awareness based methods are such an incredibly effective tool to educate and empower women, and honestly, engage men back in the conversation of family planning.” - Dr. Marguerite Duane   Dr. Marguerite Duane is a board-certified family physician and co-founder and Executive Director of FACTS, the Fertility Appreciation Collaborative to Teach the Science.  She serves as an Adjunct Associate Professor at Georgetown University, where she directs an introductory course on natural or fertility awareness based methods of family planning. She is a practicing direct primary care physician and she has served on the board of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and the Family Medicine Education Consortium (FMEC). After receiving a Bachelor of Science with Honors and a Master of Health Administration from Cornell University, she earned her medical degree from the State University of New York at Stony Brook and completed her family medicine residency at Lancaster General Hospital. During her residency, she was surprised to hear her senior resident explain to a postpartum patient that there is a way women can learn to manage their fertility without any medical side effects, such as those that occur from hormonal birth control.  She wondered how it was possible this topic hadn't been covered in her medical training. This insight planted the seed that changed the trajectory of her career. Dr. Duane began to focus on learning more about these methods, for her own personal health as well as that of her patients.  She went on to complete training in the Creighton Model of natural family planning and has since made it her passion to educate other healthcare providers and patients. After recently completing the FACTS course for medical students and residents myself, I was excited to have the opportunity to chat more with Dr. Duane about the basics of the female cycle, the efficacy of natural family planning, and the science behind fertility awareness based methods. *Dr. Duane's bio adapted from the FACTS website.   In this episode we discuss: How Dr. Duane became interested in fertility awareness based methods How FACTS came to be The need to educate doctors about FABMs The benefits of being in tune with your cycle The efficacy of this method and the best way to get started The basics of the female cycle, and what women can observe throughout their cycle How following your cycle can give insights to your health How FABMs can help explain underlying reasons for infertility Where to look for a practitioner and how to get started Factors to consider when choosing the right method for yourself Preferred apps and what to look for when selecting an app to use The value of using FABMs to help with underlying medical conditions Dr. Duane's experience with Teen STAR and the benefits of learning these methods from an early age Three things that Dr. Duane does on a regular basis that have the biggest positive impact on her health One thing she struggles to implement that could have a big impact on her health What a healthy life looks like to Dr. Duane You can follow the Fertility Awareness Collaborative to Teach the Science (FACTS) on Instagram,  Facebook and Twitter.

Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP In a survey released by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), nearly half of men reported that their health was "good" or "excellent." This marked a dramatic increase in health perceptions from men over the past decade, despite the fact that more men now live with chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes than ever before. What does this discrepancy between perceptions and realities tell us about the state of health care for men in America? Joining Dr. Brian McDonough to discuss special considerations and primary care priorities for men is Dr. John Meigs, practicing generalist and President-Elect of the AAFP.

The opportunity was to provide science-based dietary supplement information on the products that were part of the Nature Made brand. The reach of the family physician is broad with, nearly 1 in 4 doctor visits in the United States being made to a family physician. Four years ago, Pharmavite became a founding partner of a new AAFP education initiative to bring the Nature Made’s science based messages to family physicians. Overall support from the AAFP leadership and response from the AAFP membership to the dietary supplement education programs has been overwhelmingly positive. On September 26, 2013, Doug MacLean, Pharmavite’s CEO, accepted the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation’s Outstanding Service Award on behalf of Pharmavite at the AAFP Foundation Dinner. It is the Academy’s highest recognition for vendors, suppliers and companies that support the medical profession or their employees. “The depth of this honor is that the nominations are made by the AAFP state chapters, members and staff to the AAFP Board of Directors,” said Doug MacLean. “It speaks to the strength of the relationship between our two organizations and our common vision of optimizing health and wellness for individuals, our communities and people around the world.” The 11th year will break new ground with Pharmavite’s creation of an initiative called Nature Made Cares About Family Medicine. It is designed to raise funds to support Family Medicine Cares, the AAFP Foundation’s humanitarian program to establish new free medical clinics. The initiative encourages physician engagement with and education about dietary supplements with patients. “The Nature Made Cares About Family Medicine program adds a new dimension to Pharmavite’s support of the Foundation’s work,” said Craig Doane, Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at the AAFP. “We know our members place a high value on the humanitarian efforts of the organization, and they consistently request and need patient education materials for their day-to-day practice. The innovative design of this new program allows both goals to be achieved.” Nature Made Cares About Family Medicine is a part of Pharmavite’s strategic partnership with the AAFP. The partnership allows Nature Made to reach AAFP’s physician members with Nature Made brand information and dietary supplement-focused educational materials.
