AOA President Ann Van Heest, MD, FAOA, connected with Canadian Orthopaedic Association (COA) Past President, Laurie Hiemstra, MD, PhD, FRCSC, to discuss her unusual path to leadership, her plan for improving diversity in orthopaedics, and the most pressing critical issues affecting the COA. While waitlisting and licensure issues between provinces continue to be a challenge within the orthopaedic specialty, Dr. Hiemstra made it her goal to advocate for underrepresented groups, unify the community, and help develop competent young orthopaedic leaders.

It's pulmonary hypertension month on JHLT: The Podcast! The JHLT Digital Media Editors explore two PVD-related manuscripts from the November issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation. Digital Media Editor Marty Tam, MD, assistant professor in the division of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Michigan, hosts this episode.   First, hear from first author Zvonimir Rako, MD, on his team's study “Clinical and functional relevance of right ventricular contraction patterns in pulmonary hypertension.”   The right ventricle (RV) has a complex contraction pattern. For patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), right ventricular to pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling is important when considering how the RV responds to increases in afterload. Uncoupling occurs with progressive disease and the degree of uncoupling can be derived from pressure–volume loop analysis as the ratio between end-systolic and arterial elastance (Ees/Ea).   In this exploratory analysis of the prospective EXERTION study, the authors determined the relationship between RV contraction patterns and RV-PA coupling in patients with PH. They also correlated RV contraction patterns to hemodynamic risk profiles. For details on what the study found about how PH programs can use the results in their practice, listen to the discussion in the episode.   Next, the editors explored the study “Impact of sex on outcome after pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.” The podcast hosted first author Justin C.Y. Chan, MD, MPhil and senior author Marc de Perrot,  MD, MSc, FRCSC.   The impact of sex on long-term outcomes after pulmonary endarterectomy for chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) has remained unclear. The authors of this study sought to evaluate the early and long-term outcomes after pulmonary endarterectomy to see if sex had an impact on the risk of residual pulmonary hypertension and need for targeted PH medical therapy.    For details on what this retrospective single-center study found, including the mechanics of sex differences and the potential changes to clinical approach, check out the episode.   Follow along at www.jhltonline.org/current, or, if you're an ISHLT member, log in at ishlt.org/journal-of-heart-lung-transplantation.  Don't already get the Journal and want to read along?

This session will review state of the art therapy for peritoneal mesothelioma. The discussion includes cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy as well as systemic chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Edward Levine, MD, moderates this podcast and is Professor of Surgery and Chief, Surgical Oncology at Wake Forest University. Trang Nguyen, MD, is an Assistant Professor of Surgery at Indiana University and Sinziana Dumitra, MD, MSc, FRCSC, FSSO, is an Assistant Professor of Surgery at McGill University. 

2023 OJSM William A. Grana Award for Best Research Paper spotlight - Dr. Olufemi Ayeni from McMaster University Medical Centre in Ontario joins us to discuss his award-winning study “Effect of Osteochondroplasty on Time to Reoperation After Arthroscopic Management of Femoroacetabular Impingement: Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial." As hip arthroscopy continues to grow as a beneficial treatment option in Sports Medicine, high level evidence is needed to support its efficacy.  Dr. Ayeni and his group provide high quality data supporting the long term benefits of osteochondroplasty versus soft tissue work alone.

This series is part of the work I'm doing with Weight Inclusive Nutrition and Dietetics (WIND) to create a comprehensive response to the disastrous American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) guidelines for higher-weight children.

The power of scientific collaboration has a broad reach. During the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 7000 clinical trials were registered, with more than 100 different countries represented. Samantha Gambles Farr, MSN, NP-C, CCRN, RNFA, was joined by SCCM Lifetime Achievement Award Recipient John C. Marshall, MD, FRCSC, FACS, at the 2023 Critical Care Congress to discuss the importance of research and scientific collaboration. Dr. Marshall has been involved in research programs with researchers around the globe and is a well-known speaker with nearly 600 published manuscripts. This podcast is sponsored by Dompe Pharmaceutical.

In this episode of SurgOnc Today, Alexander Parikh MD, MPH, FACS, FSSO, from the University of Texas, San Antonio and Chair of the SSO HPB Disease Site Work Group, and Julie Hallet, MD, M.Sc., FRCSC, from the University of Toronto, and Vice-Chair of the SSO HPB Disease Site Work Group, are joined by Flavio G. Rocha, MD, FACS, FSSO, from the Oregon Health and Science University and Susanne G. Warner, MD, from the Mayo Clinic Rochester. They discuss two important aspects of delivering neoadjuvant therapy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma: the use of staging laparoscopy and the assessment of response. 

We welcome Dr. Daniel Whelan, Head of University of Toronto Sports Medicine, to discuss his team's recent publication “Assessment of 30 Years of Randomized Controlled Trials in The American Journal of Sports Medicine: 1990-2020.” This critical look at how our very best clinical studies have changed over a 30-year period is a fascinating reflection of our own evolution as orthopaedic sports medicine specialists. The past informs the present and can teach us lessons on how to be better in the future. 

Ticiana De Francesco, MD, shares an update on the first-in-human experience with femtosecond laser image-guided high-precision trabeculotomy, or FLIGHT (ViaLase), as covered in an article she coauthored with Iqbal Ike K. Ahmed, MD, FRCSC, for an upcoming issue of Glaucoma Today. Dr. De Francesco describes the new procedure and how it could help expand options for safe and effective glaucoma intervention.

This week the fellas have the pleasure of speaking with Sean Christie, MD, FRCSC, a renowned neurosurgeon and expert in making operating rooms more environmentally sustainable. Sean is a professor, vice chair, and director of research at the division of neurosurgery at Dalhousie University. Operating rooms are known to generate large amounts of waste and consume significant amounts of energy and resources. Sean shares with us his insights on the importance of creating more eco-conscious operating rooms and the benefits it can bring not only to the environment but also to patient care and hospital finances. Through his expertise and experience, Sean demonstrates how making operating rooms more eco-friendly can have a significant impact on reducing the healthcare industry's environmental footprint and promoting a healthier and more sustainable future for all.
