Podcasts about geographic variation

Have you ever come across the term Skin of Color (SOC)? It's a broad term that encompasses a wide range of skin tones from people of diverse ethnicities and backgrounds. Since skin conditions can present differently in skin of color, healthcare professionals need to be aware of these variations to provide accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatments. Don't forget to listen to this week's podcast episode with Dr. Swati Kannan where she shares useful skincare tips for people with SOC. Geographic Variation and Skin Color (03:15) Skin Cancer in Skin of Color (07:41) Classification of Skin Types (09:33) Skin Conditions in Skin of Color (13:42) Devices for Aesthetic Concerns in Skin of Color (19:20) How to treat Melasma in Skin of Color (25:13) Dr. Swati Kannan MD is a double board-certified dermatologist and fellowship-trained Mohs surgeon and cosmetic dermatologist. She currently serves as an assistant professor at UC-San Diego, guiding the next generation of dermatology residents and surgical fellows.

In a study recently published in “ACR Open Rheumatology” titled: “Geographic Variation in Disease Burden and Mismatch in Care of Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis in the United States“, first author Dr. Sharon Dowell set out to understand some of the factors associated with regional variation of rheumatoid arthritis in the United States. Sharon Dowell, MD presents her study's findings and conclusions. ACR's RISE Team member, Tracy Johansson, MS, joins us as well to discuss how RISE attempts to close these gaps. Together, both of our guests help us to understand how geographic location contributes to a disproportionate level of care for those with RA and what we can do about it.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Jan. 21, 2020) – The University of Kentucky recently received $3 million from the National Institute on Drug Abuse and National Institute on General Medical Sciences to fund new opioid-related research in the criminal justice system. Known as the Geographic variation in Addiction Treatment (GATE) study, the 5-year project is led by Carrie Oser, professor of sociology in the UK College of Arts & Sciences. Oser and her colleagues will be focusing on the factors that influence a person’s decision to use one of the three FDA-approved medications for the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD) – methadone, buprenorphine and extended-release naltrexone. Although research shows that these medications are highly effective at reducing opioid use, infectious disease transmission, and drug-related criminal behavior, uptake of these medications is low – only about 7% of people with OUD receive medications – and more than half of KY counties do not have any providers who prescribe medications for OUD.  It is even more challenging for those involved in the criminal justice system. In the past few years, the Kentucky Department of Corrections has addressed this issue by making naltrexone available inside their institutions and is currently piloting expansion at three prisons by offering buprenorphine to individuals with OUD that meet clinical and medical protocols. On this episode of Behind the Blue, Oser talks with UKPR’s Allison Perry about the GATE study and its goals, to identify how a person’s individual characteristics, personal networks and structural factors influence their decision whether or not to take medication for OUD both during incarceration and following release, and it will specifically look at the differences between urban and rural populations. While other studies have looked at individual and structural factors as predictors of medication use, this study is unique in its focus on the people surrounding the person with OUD and how their support – or lack thereof – and opinions influences decisions on taking medication. "Behind the Blue" is available on iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher and Spotify. Become a subscriber to receive new episodes of “Behind the Blue” each week. UK’s latest medical breakthroughs, research, artists and writers will be featured, along with the most important news impacting the university.

Commentary by Dr. Valentin Fuster

Kristin and I have been working with each other in small business since 2005. We have seen lots of good and bad times since we started working together. We have learned the most important truth about working with your spouse.  A family business is no place for a weak marriage The truth is maintaining a great marriage is work. No matter how much you love each other. Between survival, family, and friends many marriages strain. In 2015 16.9 divorces happened per 1,000 married women according to researchers at Bowling Green State University.  That is over 1.1 Million woman in 2015 alone and that was a good year. You risk going from husband and wife to business partners. However, all is not lost. There have been many family businesses that have stood the test of time. They have not only survived the marriage, they have not gone out of business. And to be honest, even if your spouse is not officially part of your small business they often help out the entrepreneur of the family run their business.  The most important thing you can do is learn your 3 Rs Not the 3 Rs of school. The 3 Rs of working with your significant other.  Roles Respect Responsibilities NOTE: This post contains affiliate links Links ((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Visit Show notes ))))))))))))))))))))))))) https://www.smallbizlife.com/blog/episode-109-the-truth-about-working-with-your-significant-other   ((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Mentions links ))))))))))))))))))))))))) DIVORCE RATE IN THE U.S.: GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION, 2015 https://www.bgsu.edu/ncfmr/resources/data/family-profiles/anderson-divorce-rate-us-geo-2015-fp-16-21.html ((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Rate and Review us in iTunes ))))))))))))))))))))))))) https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/small-biz-life/id1039595496 Small Biz HQ   ((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Like our Facebook Page ))))))))))))))))))))))))) https://www.facebook.com/smallbizlifepodcast/   ((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Join our Facebook Group ))))))))))))))))))))))))) https://www.facebook.com/groups/SmallBizLife/     ((((((((((((((((((((((((((( Twitter  ))))))))))))))))))))))))) https://twitter.com/JefferyWIngram https://twitter.com/KristinLIngram https://twitter.com/SBLPodcast

Interview with Erica Spatz, MD, MHS, author of Geographic Variation in Trends and Disparities in Acute Myocardial Infarction Hospitalization and Mortality by Income Levels, 1999-2013, and Thomas Maddox, MD, MSc, and Karen Joynt, MD, MPH, authors of Looking Beyond the Hospital to Reduce Acute Myocardial Infarction: Progress and Potential

This podcast highlights a systematic review and meta-analysis published in the November 2015 issue of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, the official journal of the American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) Foundation. Editor in chief John Krouse is joined by senior author Luke Rudmik and associate editor Gordon Sun in discussing geographic variation in the use of endoscopic sinus surgery. The phenomenon of geographic variation in the delivery of health care has been recognized for decades.  Variation in small areas can be a driver of health care costs and is associated with differences in the utilization of both medical and surgical services.  The importance of variation in both the cost and the quality of care has been highlighted by many, including several impactful publications by Atul Gawande.  In the present study, Dr. Rudmik and colleagues review differences in the number of endoscopic sinus surgical procedures in the province of Alberta, Canada, and demonstrate that significant differences can occur in proximate geographic areas, much as the authors have previously noted in the United States.  In this podcast, Dr. Rudmik discusses the measurement of geographic variation, the findings from his important study, and the implications for both practice and further investigation.    Drs. Rudmik and Sun then discuss the implications of these interesting observations for health care delivery and some of their potential causes, as well as examining the importance of additional research in further characterizing the nature of surgical variation in otolaryngology.
