Podcasts about Geriatrics

Alan welcomes Dr. Zach Meiners, co-host of the Very Clinical podcast and restorative dentist extraordinaire, back to the Very Dental podcast. They dive deep into their shared passion for glass ionomer (GI) restorative materials. Sparked by Alan's recent solo episode on using glass ionomer for groove restorations the guys talk GI in depth.  Key Takeaways Glass Ionomer (GI) as a Primary Restorative: Both doctors advocate for GI (like Fuji 9 or Equia) as a legitimate, permanent restorative material for specific classes of restorations, moving past its traditional use as only a provisional or base. Ideal Clinical Applications: GI is highly effective for: Class I, III, and V restorations, particularly on posterior teeth where aesthetics are less critical. Geriatric and Pediatric patients due to its forgiving nature, minimal technique sensitivity, and fluoride release. Core Build-ups: Zach considers it his main build-up material, noting its reliable adhesion and stability against being pulled out by temporary crowns. Crown Margin Repairs. Material Benefits: GI offers several advantages over traditional resin or amalgam: No Post-Operative Sensitivity and Minimal Shrinkage. Forgiving Technique in less-than-ideal isolation situations, sticking particularly well to dentin. Continued Hardening for months after the initial set, leading to excellent longevity and a surprisingly low failure rate. Efficiency and Cost: While the initial cost of GI is relatively high, the efficiency gained from eliminating the need for separate etching and bonding steps (using only a cavity conditioner provided in the kit) and the speed of placement makes it a cost-effective choice in terms of time and materials. Placement and Setting: Placement Technique: For occlusal restorations (like in grooves), Alan recommends over-squirting the material and using a moist, gloved finger to push it into the grooves, or using an anti-stick agent like Stick Free for metal instruments. Accelerating Set: Though not a light-cure material, applying the curing light can accelerate the chemical setting reaction via heat, cutting the two-and-a-half-minute set time down to about 90 seconds. The GI "Dream": The doctors agree that a future GI material with the strength to reliably handle Class II restorations would revolutionize the entire direct restorative market, given GI's unique benefits.  Some links from the show: Fuji IX Fuji Equia Forte    Join the Very Dental Facebook group using the password "Timmerman," Hornbrook" or "McWethy," "Papa Randy," "Lipscomb" or "Gary!"

Global exposure, and repeat monthly guests continue.welcome back to the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour, with your host, Grandpa Bill. Today, we're going to talk about something that can lift a huge weight off our shoulders—taking back control.We've all been there. Worrying about the past, stressing about the future. It's like our minds are on a hamster wheel, running and running but getting nowhere. We're all human, and those feelings are normal. But what if I told you there's a simple, powerful way to get off that wheel?It's a plan. A step-by-step plan.When you're worried about something, it often feels big and overwhelming. It's a dark cloud on the horizon. But when you break that big, scary cloud into a series of small, manageable steps, it loses its power. You go from feeling helpless to feeling in control.Think about it this way: a big, daunting task is like a staircase with 100 steps you can't see the top of. That's a lot to think about, right? You might get tired just looking at it. But what if you just focus on the very next step? And then the next one? And then the one after that? Before you know it, you're halfway up the stairs.This isn't just about big projects. It can be for anything that's causing you worry.Here's a simple three-step plan you can use today:Identify the Concern: Grab a notepad or just think about it in your head. What's the one thing that's been weighing on you? Maybe it's a doctor's appointment you're nervous about, or a family visit that feels stressful. Acknowledge it, and name it.Break It Down: Now, take that big concern and break it into the very first, smallest, most manageable steps you can take. For example, if you're worried about a doctor's visit, your first step might be "call to confirm the appointment." Your next step might be "write down a list of questions I have for the doctor." These are tiny, simple things.Take Action, No Matter How Small: Do the first step. Right now, if you can. If you can't, write it down and put it somewhere you'll see it. The act of completing that single, small step sends a powerful message to your brain: "I'm in control. I've got this." This action is the antidote to helplessness. It's what stops the cycle of rumination and anxiety.So, whether you're a Silver Streaker worried about a new fitness routine or a young listener anxious about a school project, remember: a plan is your path from helplessness to empowerment. Don't just worry about the mountain; start by picking up a single stone. And I promise you, that first small step will make all the difference."BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour: The Power of a PlanGrandpa Bill's Guide to Letting Go: How a Plan Conquers WorryFrom Helpless to Hopeful: The Antidote to Anxiety is ActionGrandpa Bill's Golden Rule: A Step-by-Step Guide to Peace of MindWorry-Proof Your Life: The Secret to Taking Back ControlThe Silver Streaker's Plan for a Calm Life#GrandpaBillHolt,#HolisticHealingHour,#BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour,#SilverStreakers,#Health and Wellness,#MentalHealth,#StressRelief,#AnxietyManagement,#TakeAction,#PlanYourLife,#Mindfulness,#Empowerment,#HolisticHealth,#PodcastForLife,#AgingGracefully,

Welcome to part 8 of the Trauma & Burn Anesthesia Series. In this episode, we take a broad look at special populations in trauma anesthesia—pregnant, pediatric, and geriatric patients. Each of these groups presents unique physiologic challenges, risk factors, and perioperative considerations that require anesthesia providers to adapt their trauma management strategies. From managing airway swelling and aspiration risk in pregnant patients, to balancing fluid resuscitation and minimizing radiation exposure in children, to mitigating postoperative delirium and cognitive dysfunction in older adults, this episode offers a high-level overview of principles you can apply in clinical practice. Because each of these populations deserves a deeper dive, we've included links in the show notes to key articles and guidelines so you can explore further on your own. In future episodes, we'll dedicate entire discussions to each special population for a more detailed breakdown. Join us as we highlight essential principles and considerations for trauma anesthesia providers caring for these vulnerable groups.ADDITIONAL RESOURCES:Pregnant Patients:Guidelines for the Management of Pregnant Trauma Patients (Jain, 2015)Trauma in the Obstetric Patient: A Bedside Tool (ACEP)Pediatrics:Initial assessment and management of pediatric trauma patients (McFadyen, 2012)Geriatrics:Perioperative Management of the Geriatric Trauma Patient (Muldowney, 2025)Trauma in the elderly patient (Atinga, 2018) Want to learn more?

Let's discuss the dreaded G-word – geriatrics – and clear up common misconceptions about that medical specialty and why it's important for healthy aging.For many, it conjures images of decline, disease, and – well – dying. But what if we take the view that geriatricians are experts in body and mind maintenance for late-model humans? That's the focus of this episode of our monthly series, NEXT AGE, where we're reframing aging.The goal of modern geriatrics is to help our health span match our lifespan as more of us are living longer. We hear from experts in the care and maintenance of our aging bodies and learn why more people are actively seeking geriatric care early in their latter years.There's a growing effort to recruit and train more professionals in geriatrics and increase all of our appreciation and access to these specialists.Our show is made possible, in part, by BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee and our series on aging is made possible by a grant from The West End Home Foundation — enriching the lives of older adults though grantmaking, advocacy and community collaboration.This episode was produced by LaTonya Turner.Guests: Jean Gauld-Jaeger, retiree & patient of geriatrician, https://artbyjaeger.com/ Katina Beard | CEO, Matthew Walker Comprehensive Health Center S.A.L.T.

Rumination on the past and anxiety about the future are both forms of repetitive negative thinking that can significantly increase stress and contribute to mental health issues like depression and anxiety. While they are distinct processes, they often feed into each other, creating a cycle of distress.Rumination is the process of excessively dwelling on negative thoughts and feelings about past events. It's like replaying a distressing movie scene over and over in your mind, without ever reaching a resolution. This form of thinking focuses on "what went wrong," "what I should have said," or "why did that happen?" instead of productive problem-solving. It's often associated with feelings of guilt, shame, regret, and helplessness. For example, after an awkward social interaction, a person might ruminate on their every word and action, critiquing themselves long after the event has passed. This constant self-criticism intensifies negative emotions and can prevent individuals from moving forward.Anxiety about the future is characterized by excessive worry about what might happen. It's often referred to as "anticipatory anxiety," where you're constantly imagining and preparing for potential threats or negative outcomes. This type of thinking focuses on "what if" scenarios, such as "what if I fail my exam?" or "what if I lose my job?" This constant state of alert keeps the body in a prolonged "fight or flight" response, leading to physical symptoms like a racing heart, muscle tension, and difficulty sleeping. It is driven by an intolerance of uncertainty, the inability to accept that you can't control every possible outcome.Both rumination and future anxiety can become self-perpetuating cycles. Rumination on a past failure can increase your anxiety about facing a similar situation in the future, and anxiety about a future event can lead to rumination on the potential negative outcomes. To break this cycle, it's crucial to shift your focus from unproductive thinking to the present moment.Effective strategies include:Mindfulness: Practices like meditation and deep breathing help anchor you in the present, reducing the power of thoughts about the past or future.Cognitive Restructuring: Challenge your negative thought patterns by asking if there's evidence to support them. Replace "what if I fail?" with more balanced statements, such as "I'm prepared, and I'll do my best."Scheduled "Worry Time": Instead of letting worry consume your day, set aside a specific, short period (e.g., 15 minutes) to address your concerns. If a worrying thought arises outside this time, gently remind yourself to deal with it during your scheduled session.Actionable Plans: If a concern is within your control, create a step-by-step plan to address it. For example, if you're worried about an exam, create a study schedule. Taking action can reduce the sense of helplessness that often fuels rumination and anxiety.Physical Activity: Exercise is a powerful tool for interrupting negative thought loops and releasing built-up stress. A walk in nature, in particular, has been shown to reduce rumination and quiet the part of the brain associated with self-focused, negative thinking. let's initiate a plan-If a concern is within your control, create a step-by-step plan to address it. For example, if you're worried about an exam, create a study schedule. Taking action can reduce the sense of helplessness that often fuels rumination and anxiety. Greetings, Grandpa Bill!

BUFFALO, NY — September 16, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 8 of Aging-US on August 6, 2025, titled “Age-related trends in amyloid positivity in Parkinson's disease without dementia.” In this study, led by first author Keiko Hatano and corresponding author Masashi Kameyama from the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute for Geriatrics and Gerontology in Japan, researchers found that patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) diagnosed in their 80s showed a significantly higher rate of amyloid positivity—an indicator associated with Alzheimer's disease—compared to those diagnosed at a younger age. Importantly, none of the participants had dementia. These findings suggest that older patients with PD may face a greater risk of future cognitive decline and could benefit from early screening for Alzheimer's-related brain changes. Amyloid-beta is considered a key marker of cognitive decline. While it is known that amyloid accumulation contributes to PD with dementia, its role in patients who have not developed cognitive problems remains less understood. This study aimed to explore how age influences amyloid buildup in people with PD who do not yet show signs of dementia. The researchers analyzed data from 89 individuals with PD and no signs of dementia. Participants were divided into two age-based groups: those diagnosed before age 73 (LOW group) and those diagnosed at age 73 or older (HIGH group). Using cerebrospinal fluid samples, they measured levels of amyloid-beta, a standard method for detecting early Alzheimer's-related changes. The findings revealed that 30.6% of the older group tested positive for amyloid, compared to just 10.0% in the younger group. “[…] we elucidated the prevalence of amyloid positivity in patients with PD without dementia, whose mean age at diagnosis was 80.2 years, using CSF Aβ42 levels.” Interestingly, both age groups of Parkinson's patients had a lower rate of amyloid positivity than cognitively normal individuals of the same age in the general population. This unexpected result suggests that PD may alter how amyloid accumulates in the brain, possibly shortening the phase in which amyloid builds up silently before symptoms appear. The authors suggest that amyloid buildup could accelerate the transition from healthy cognition to dementia in patients with PD. The study also observed age-related associations with other biological markers of Alzheimer's disease, such as tau protein levels. As the global population continues to age and the number of older adults diagnosed with PD grows, identifying early warning signs of cognitive decline becomes increasingly important. These findings may help inform future screening approaches and support the development of therapies aimed at delaying or preventing dementia in people with Parkinson's disease.

Brian Reader made his name as “The Guv'nor” in the 1960s and 70s by pulling off daring, Ocean's Eleven-style heists that turned him into a tabloid sensation. By the 2010s, his glory days were long gone – but when the lure of one final big score proved irresistible, Reader and a crew of aging criminals plotted one last job over Easter weekend in 2015. But the heist that was meant to cement their legend instead turned into a tabloid spectacle – and the downfall of a man who couldn't leave his past behind.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Host Dr. Riley Kirk is joined by Dr. Janice Makela, MD for part one of a two part episode; the conversation was so interesting they couldn't cut it short! They discuss the evolving landscape of cannabis medicine, particularly for the geriatric population. She emphasizes the importance of education for both patients and physicians, addressing common misconceptions and the need for responsible dosing. The discussion covers various consumption methods, including edibles and tinctures, and highlights the potential benefits and risks associated with cannabis use in older adults. Dr. Makela also shares insights on the importance of safe and legal access to cannabis products. The discussion delves into the risks associated with smoking, including bronchitis and COPD, and highlights the benefits of using vaporizers over traditional smoking methods. The speakers also discuss the efficacy of cannabis topicals for pain relief and their role in wound care, and the importance of considering drug interactions. The speakers advocate for a cautious approach to cannabis use, especially among older adults and those with existing health conditions.

On today's podcast, we talk about an innovative specialized primary care model for older veterans called the Geriatric Patient Aligned Care Team (GeriPACT) program.  It's designed with smaller patient panels and enhanced social worker and pharmacist involvement, and its approach is aimed at improving care and outcomes for our aging population. We unpack the intriguing findings of a recent JAMA Network Open study authored by one of our guests, Susan “Nicki” Hastings, looking at GeriPACT that compares it to a traditional Patient Aligned Care Team (PACT).  While GeriPACT successfully delivered more attention to geriatric conditions, it surprisingly didn't translate into expected improvements like more time at home or better self-rated health. We discuss the potential reasons behind this with our other two guests, one a geriatrics fellow, Kristie Hsu, and the other a recurring guest and host of the podcast, Ken Covinsky.  Was it just that it didn't work, or were there other things going on, from the intensity of "usual care" to the challenges of measuring complex health outcomes and the possibility that 18 months simply wasn't long enough to see the full benefits? Despite what was ostensibly a negative trial, we highlight some reassuring aspects and future hopes for GeriPACT and how we can all incorporate some of these components into the care of our patients. We'll also pose critical questions for future research, emphasizing why continued development and evaluation of new care models are essential for the health of our older population.

Grandpa Bill talks about Qi Gong-Hello and thank you for tuning into "Workouts for Geriatrics, AKA, Silver Streakers, Good for All Kids from 1-92!" I'm your host, Grandpa Bill, and today on the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour Podcast, we're diving into a practice that's as ancient as it is effective for a long and healthy life: Qi Gong.Now, you might have heard of Tai Chi, but Qi Gong is its close cousin, and in many ways, its parent. The name itself is a clue: "Qi" (pronounced "chee") is the life force or energy that flows through our bodies, and "Gong" means cultivation or work. So, Qi Gong is the art of cultivating and working with our life energy.An Overview of Qi GongSo, what exactly does a Qi Gong session look like? Well, it's not about breaking a sweat or lifting heavy weights. It's about slow, mindful movements, coordinated with deep, diaphragmatic breathing. Think of it as a moving meditation.The core principles are:Gentle Movement: The movements are soft, fluid, and circular. We're not pushing our bodies to their limits; we're coaxing them into a state of balance.Mindfulness: The mind is focused on the body, on the breath, and on the feeling of Qi flowing. This helps to calm the nervous system and reduce stress.Deep Breathing: We breathe from the belly, not the chest. This helps to oxygenate the blood, calm the mind, and energize the body.Example: The Wall ExerciseNow, for a simple and effective Qi Gong exercise you can do right now, I'm going to teach you "The Wall Exercise." All you need is a wall.Find your spot: Stand with your back against a wall, about a foot away.Slide down: Slowly slide your back down the wall until your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle, as if you're sitting in an invisible chair. Make sure your back is flat against the wall.Breathe deeply: As you hold this position, breathe deeply and slowly. Feel the strength in your legs, but also the calm in your mind.Rise up: After a few breaths, slowly and gently push yourself back up the wall to a standing position.Repeat: Do this a few times, increasing the hold time as you feel more comfortable.This exercise is fantastic for building leg strength, improving balance, and calming the mind. It's safe, effective, and can be done by anyone, no matter their age or fitness level.Why Qi Gong is a perfect workout for "Silver Streakers"Joint-friendly: The slow, gentle movements are easy on the joints, making it a great alternative to high-impact exercises.Improves balance: Many Qi Gong exercises focus on balance, which is crucial for preventing falls as we age.Reduces stress: The combination of mindful movement and deep breathing is a powerful stress-reliever.Increases energy: By cultivating Qi, we can increase our vitality and energy levels, helping us to feel younger and more vibrant.So, whether you're 19 or 92, Qi Gong has something to offer. It's a journey into your own inner energy, a way to connect with your body and mind, and a path to a healthier, more balanced life.#QiGong,#GeriatricFitness,#GrandpaBill,#SilverStreakers,#WorkoutsForGeriatrics,#HolisticHealing,#BHSalesKennelKelpHolisticHealingHour,#MindfulMovement,#Longevity,#AncientWisdom,

How can we improve care for older adults while supporting their independence and dignity? In this episode, we speak with Ellen Flaherty, PhD, MSN, APRN, vice president of the Dartmouth Health Geriatric Center of Excellence, about the 4 M’s of age-friendly care: what matters, medication, mind, and mobility. She shares how older adults can advocate for their needs, why proper medication management is vital, and what red flags caregivers should watch for, including delirium and cognitive changes. We also explore the importance of staying active and resources like the My Health Checklist, a workbook to help adults 65+ prepare for healthcare visits. Discover how the 4 M’s can guide more personalized care that honors each person’s goals. Check out The John A.

The vast majority of the world's countries are experiencing a demographic revolution: dramatic, sustained, and likely irreversible population aging. States' median ages are steadily increasing as the number of people ages 65 and older skyrockets. Analysts and policymakers frequently decry population aging's domestic costs, especially likely slowing economic growth and massive new public expenditures for elderly welfare. But aging has a major yet largely unrecognized international benefit: it significantly reduces the likelihood of international war. Although wars continue to rage in parts of the world, almost none involve aged countries. This book provides a comprehensive and groundbreaking argument why population aging will be a powerful force for peace. Aging will significantly reduce states' military capabilities available for war while also boosting leaders' and citizens' preferences for peaceful foreign policies. At the same time, the effects of aging will help prevent the emergence of a power transition between the United States and China, which would be a development that is particularly likely to devolve into armed hostilities. If an aged country does initiate war, the effects of aging will create major barriers to military success. The more aging reduces the probability of victory, the greater the disincentives to aggressing. Detailed case studies show how aging has affected the capabilities and preferences in Japan, China, the United States, and Russia. Guest: Mark L.

Dr. Cris Bergerot and Dr. Enrique Soto join the podcast to discuss the new global guideline on geriatric assessment. This guideline provides evidence-based, resource-stratified recommendations across the basic, limited, and enhanced settings. Dr. Bergerot and Dr. Soto discuss who should receive a geriatric assessment, the role of geriatric assessment, which elements of geriatric assessment can help predict adverse outcomes, and how a geriatric assessment is used to guide care and make treatment decisions. They comment on the importance of this guideline worldwide, and the impact of this guideline for a wide range of clinicians, patients, researchers, policymakers, and health administrators.   Read the full guideline, “Geriatric Assessment: ASCO Global Guideline” at www.asco.org/global-guidelines." TRANSCRIPT This guideline, clinical tools, and resources are available at www.asco.org/global-guidelines. Read the full text of the guideline, view clinical tools and resources, and review authors' disclosures of potential conflicts of interest in the JCO Global Oncology,       https://ascopubs.org/doi/10.1200/GO-25-00276       Brittany Harvey: Hello, and welcome to the ASCO Guidelines podcast, one of ASCO's podcasts delivering timely information to keep you up to date on the latest changes, challenges, and advances in oncology. You can find all the shows, including this one, at asco.org/podcasts. My name is Brittany Harvey, and today I'm interviewing Dr. Cris Bergerot from OncoClínicas & Co and Dr. Enrique Soto from the University of Colorado, co-chairs on “Geriatric Assessment: ASCO Global Guideline”. Thank you for being here today, Dr. Bergerot and Dr. Soto. Dr. Cris Bergerot: Thank you. Dr. Enrique Soto: Thanks for the invitation, Brittany. Brittany Harvey: And then before we discuss this guideline, I'd like to note that ASCO takes great care in the development of its guidelines and ensuring that the ASCO conflict of interest policy is followed for each guideline. The disclosures of potential conflicts of interest for the guideline panel, including Dr. Bergerot and Dr. Soto who have joined us here today, are available online with the publication of the guideline in JCO Global Oncology, which is linked in the show notes. So then to jump into the guideline here, Dr. Soto, could you start by providing an overview of the scope and the purpose of this global guideline on geriatric assessment? Dr. Enrique Soto: Of course, Brittany. So, this guideline comes from a request from the global oncology community and from the geriatric oncology community, who is very interested in making sure that geriatric oncology recommendations that are used in the United States can be adopted and used globally. So, this was a very highly rated topic when we had our call for proposals for guidelines, and that's why we decided to do this. The idea of this guideline is to provide resource-stratified recommendations for the use of geriatric assessments and interventions in older adults with cancer across different settings, right? And that these guidelines can be applied by clinicians working in low- and middle-income countries, but also, in a way, by clinicians working in community settings where the availability of resources may be limited. And the idea of these recommendations is to help clinicians evaluate older people with cancer better and also understand which interventions can be implemented with the resources they have and which interventions have a bigger bang for the buck, so to speak. And as all evidence-based, stratified guidelines that ASCO conducts, we stratified resources as basic, limited, or enhanced. And that means resources that go from those that provide the greatest benefits for patients in terms of outcomes to those that are evidence-based but provide additional additive benefits. And those resource-stratified recommendations can be found in the ASCO website as to how these guidelines are developed, and that's pretty standard for most resource-stratified guidelines. Brittany Harvey: Great. I appreciate that background and the impetus for this guideline, and thank you for providing that resource-stratified framework of basic, limited, and enhanced. I think that helps provide context for the guideline recommendations here. So then, Dr. Bergerot, I'd like to next review the key recommendations of this guideline across the four clinical questions that the guideline addresses. So, across those settings, the basic, limited, and enhanced settings, what is the role of geriatric assessment in older adults with cancer to inform specific interventions? Dr. Cris Bergerot: I think this is one of the most important points, so let's break it down. First off, who should actually receive the geriatric assessment? And the recommendation is clear. All patients aged 65 and older who are being considered for systemic cancer therapy should undergo a geriatric assessment. Now, depending on the available resources, for example, in basic setting, a quick screening may be enough, but in enhanced setting, a comprehensive geriatric assessment is encouraged. And for our next question, in which elements of the geriatric assessment can help predict poor outcomes, the core domains to focus on include things like physical function, comorbidities, polypharmacy, cognition, nutrition, social support, and psychological health. And there are also validate tools like the G8, the CGA, and the CARG that can be used depending on the setting and resources available. Now, talking about how we actually use the geriatric assessment to guide care, the assessment results can guide interventions to reduce treatment-related toxicities and maintain the patient functions. So, even in basic settings, the result can help guide those adjustments or identify the need for supportive care. And in more resource settings, we can implement more tailored intervention based on those findings. And finally, for our fourth question: How can geriatric assessment help guide treatment decisions? So, GA can influence decisions about how aggressive treatment should be, help clarify goals of care, and determine whether a curative or palliative approach makes the most sense. And again, even in settings with limited resources, a simplified GA can still provide meaningful guidance. Brittany Harvey: Great. Thank you, Dr. Bergerot, for that high-level overview of the recommendations of this guideline. So then, following that, Dr. Soto, which geriatric assessment tools and elements should clinicians use to predict adverse outcomes for older patients receiving systemic therapy across the basic, limited, and enhanced settings? Dr. Enrique Soto: Yeah, so that is an excellent question because it's something that people want to know, right? When people start developing a geriatric oncology clinic, one of the first things they want to know is which tools should I use. And we hope that this guideline will provide some clarity regarding this. So, our overarching recommendation is that every patient, regardless of the level of resources, should receive some sort of geriatric assessment. And that geriatric assessment can go from a simple screening tool, such as the G8 tool, which is available online and very easy to do, and that can be done in basic settings, to a more sophisticated geriatric assessment. The important thing, and what we emphasize in the guideline, is that regardless of the tool you use, it should include those high-priority domains that are associated with outcomes in older adults with cancer. And those include an assessment of physical function, of cognition, emotional health, comorbidities, polypharmacy, nutrition, and social support. In addition to that, an important thing that the guideline does is endorse the recommendation from our parent guideline, the guideline from high-income settings, the practical geriatric assessment, which is a tool that was actually developed by the ASCO Geriatric Oncology Group, which is a self-administered tool that people can use to evaluate their patients in a prompt and fast manner. And what we actually did for this guideline is include the validation of the various tools included in the practical geriatric assessment in the five most widely spoken languages in the world, including Hindi, Chinese, Spanish, and French, and Portuguese. And so, most of these tools are validated in these languages. So, we believe that the practical geriatric assessment is a tool that can be utilized across settings and that doesn't require a lot of resources. I think an important future step is making sure that we get the practical geriatric assessment translated into various languages, and we're working with the ASCO team in getting that done. Brittany Harvey: That's an excellent point. And yes, we'll hope to have the practical geriatric assessment translated into more languages. And that tool is available linked in the guideline itself, and we'll also provide a link for listeners in the show notes of this episode (Practical Geriatric Assessment). So then, following that, Dr. Bergerot, in resource-constrained settings, what general life expectancy data should clinicians use to estimate mortality and inform treatment decision-making? Dr. Cris Bergerot: So, in basic and limited resource environments, you might not have access to every tool or specialist, but you can still make informed and thoughtful decisions. So, what the guideline recommends is to start with population-level life expectancy tables. These are available through the WHO Global Health Observatory, and they offer useful starting points. And if available, clinicians should also look for country-specific or regional survival data. That kind of local information can be even more relevant to your patient population. The clinical judgment is also key here, and it becomes even more powerful when it's guided by the patient's geriatric assessment results. And when possible, use age- and comorbidity-adjusted models, like the Lee index or tools from the ePrognosis. This can help refine estimates of mortality risk and also inform how aggressive treatment should be. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely. I appreciate you providing those specifics as well. So then, following that, Dr. Bergerot mentioned this a little bit earlier, but Dr. Soto, how should geriatric assessment be used to guide management of older patients with cancer across the basic, limited, and enhanced settings? Dr. Enrique Soto: Yeah, and again, that's another important focus, right? Because if we assess things and then don't do anything about them, then why even assess them, right? And in many settings, people say, “Well, I don't have the tools to provide the interventions that these patients actually need.” And a very significant part of building this guideline was coming up with a resource-stratified and evidence-based way in which to prioritize which interventions provide most benefits for older adults with cancer. And so, for each level and each domain, we have a series of interventions that have been stratified according to importance and evidence base, and that is actually one of the coolest features of the guideline. We included a table, and then we have for each of the domains, including falls, functional status, weight loss, et cetera, what are the interventions that oncologists can do in their clinical visit without needing a lot of resources, including providing some specific information, giving some recommendations to patients, to more high-level things that can be done when the healthcare system allows it, such as working with a nutritionist, providing supplements, testing for particular cognitive impairments, et cetera. So, I encourage people to take a look at that table. It was really a lot of work putting that table together, and that table has specific recommendations for each setting, and I think people will find it very useful. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely. That table certainly contains a lot of information that's very helpful for clinicians. I think it's important to call out those tailored interventions to improve care and quality of life for every patient. So then, we've just reviewed all of the recommendations in this guideline. So, I'd like to ask you, Dr. Bergerot, in your opinion, what should clinicians know as they implement these recommendations across resource levels? Dr. Cris Bergerot: I would say that clinicians should remember that even a brief geriatric assessment can make a meaningful difference. You don't need a full suite of tools to improve quality of care, but clinicians should tailor all the tools that are available in their local context and always keeping in mind the core geriatric domains that we have mentioned in the very beginning of our podcast. And let's be clear, the goal of the assessment isn't just to gather data, as Enrique mentioned; it's to use this information to guide treatment decision and also to improve outcomes. And whenever possible, clinicians should engage interdisciplinary teams that might include nurse, psychologist, social workers, community health workers, or anyone who can help address the patient's broader needs. And flexibility really matters. So, especially in settings with limited access to specialists or diagnostics, we should prioritize what is feasible and what will truly help our patients during their journey. And above all, we should keep this in mind that equity in care delivery is essential. Just because resources are limited doesn't mean we can't deliver age-sensitive and even patient-centered care. Brittany Harvey: Definitely. That multidisciplinary care that you mentioned is key, and also thinking about what is feasible across every resource level to provide optimal care for every single patient. So then, to expand on that just a little bit and to wrap us up, Dr. Soto, what is the impact of this guideline for older adults with cancer globally? Dr. Enrique Soto: Well, what we hope this guideline will lead to is to a boom in geriatric oncology worldwide, right? That is our final goal. And what we want is for clinicians interested in starting a geriatric oncology program or setting up a geriatric oncology clinic to use these guidelines in order to justify the interventions that they're going to do, to pick the important partners they need for their multidisciplinary team, to choose the tools that they're going to implement. And then, with that, to present this to leaders in their hospitals, leaders in their healthcare system so that they can start these clinics that will ultimately lead to better outcomes for older adults with cancer. So, I encourage people to view this as high-quality, evidence-based recommendations that are done by a group of experts and with a thorough review of the literature and also based on our parent guidelines. The fact that these guidelines are resource-stratified does not by any mean signify that they're of less quality or that the recommendations that are included in those are not proven to improve outcomes, cancer-specific and also general outcomes, in older adults with cancer. Another thing that I think these guidelines could do in the future is motivate researchers in low- and middle-income countries to fill in the gaps that we have identified in these guidelines. We've made it very clear across the guidelines where evidence is lacking. And I think that this should prompt researchers across the globe to start trying to fill in these gaps with high-quality research. And finally, I also think that this is a call for policymakers, health administrators, and people interested in public health to start scaling up resources so that places with basic resources can eventually become places with more sophisticated resources. And I think this does not only apply to low- and middle-income countries, but also to community oncologists in the US who may be facing resource constraints. And I think that these guidelines can help them stratify and understand what things should be implemented first and how to scale up. So yeah, that's the dream that with this guideline, more people will start implementing geriatric oncology around the globe and that ASCO will continue to be a leader in setting the stage for what should be done in geriatric oncology and for improving care to older adults with cancer, regardless of where they live. Brittany Harvey: Absolutely. This guideline is wide-reaching and has important impacts worldwide. So, I want to thank you both so much for the huge amount of work you took to develop this evidence-based guideline, and thank you for joining me on the podcast today, Dr. Bergerot and Dr. Soto. Dr. Cris Bergerot: Thank you so much. Dr. Enrique Soto: Thank you for the invitation. It was a pleasure. Brittany Harvey: And finally, thank you to our listeners for tuning in to the ASCO Guidelines podcast. To read the full guideline, go to www.asco.org/global-guidelines.

The vast majority of the world's countries are experiencing a demographic revolution: dramatic, sustained, and likely irreversible population aging. States' median ages are steadily increasing as the number of people ages 65 and older skyrockets. Analysts and policymakers frequently decry population aging's domestic costs, especially likely slowing economic growth and massive new public expenditures for elderly welfare. But aging has a major yet largely unrecognized international benefit: it significantly reduces the likelihood of international war. Although wars continue to rage in parts of the world, almost none involve aged countries. This book provides a comprehensive and groundbreaking argument why population aging will be a powerful force for peace. Aging will significantly reduce states' military capabilities available for war while also boosting leaders' and citizens' preferences for peaceful foreign policies. At the same time, the effects of aging will help prevent the emergence of a power transition between the United States and China, which would be a development that is particularly likely to devolve into armed hostilities. If an aged country does initiate war, the effects of aging will create major barriers to military success. The more aging reduces the probability of victory, the greater the disincentives to aggressing. Detailed case studies show how aging has affected the capabilities and preferences in Japan, China, the United States, and Russia. Guest: Mark L.

In today's podcast we talk with Eric Wong, geriatrician-researcher from Toronto, and Thiago Silva, geriatrician-researcher from Brazil, about the comprehensive geriatrics assessment.  We spend the first 30 minutes (at least) discussing what, exactly is the comprehensive geriatric assessment, including: What domains of assessment are essential/mandatory components of the comprehensive geriatrics assessment? Who performs it? Is a multidisciplinary team required? Can a geriatrician perform it alone? Can non-geriatricians perform it? Who is the comprehensive geriatrics assessment for? Who is most likely to benefit? Eric Widera suggests not as much benefit for very sick and very healthy older adults, more benefit in the vast middle. Why do the comprehensive geriatrics assessment? What are the interventions that it leads to (we cover this more conceptually, rather than naming all possible interventions) How does the comprehensive geriatrics assessment relate to the 4Ms (or 5 Ms)? How long does it take to conduct a comprehensive geriatrics assessment? What's the evidence (BMJ meta analysis) for the comprehensive geriatrics assessment?  What are the outcomes we hope for from the comprehensive geriatrics assessment?   That final point, about outcomes, bring's us to Eric Wong's study, published in JAGS, which evaluates the cost effectiveness of the comprehensive geriatrics assessment performed by a geriatrician across settings (e.g. acute care, rehab, community clinics). As an aside, as the editor at JAGS who managed this manuscript, I will say that we don't ordinarily publish cost effectiveness studies at JAGS, as the methods are opaque to our clinical audience (e.g. raise your hand if you understand what ‘CGA provided in the combination of acute care and rehab was non-dominated' means). We published this article because its bottom line is of great interest to geriatricians.  In Eric's study, geriatricians performing CGA were more cost effective than usual care in Every. Single. Setting. And of course cost effectiveness is only one small piece of the argument for why we do the comprehensive geriatrics assessment in the first place (no patient in the history of the world has ever asked for a test or treatment because it's cost effective for the health care system). I'll close with a couple of “mic drop” excerpts from Thiago's accompanying editorial: Finally, it is instructive to compare the cost-effectiveness of geriatric services and CGAs with other interventions. A recent analysis of lecanemab for early-stage Alzheimer's disease found that gaining one QALY would cost approximately $287,000 (USD). In contrast, Wong et al. estimated that adding community-based CGA would cost about $1203 (CAD) per quality-adjusted life month (QALM) (equating to roughly $10,105 (USD) per QALY, using $1 USD = $0.7 CAD), making geriatrician-led CGA nearly 30 times more cost-effective. Put simply, for each dollar spent to improve quality of life for a year through CGA, one would need to spend almost $30 to achieve the same benefit with lecanemab.  Ultimately, the question is not whether geriatricians represent a worthwhile investment (they are) but how healthcare systems can ensure that every older adult requiring specialized, comprehensive care can access it. Wong et al.'s modeling study provides a valuable contribution by showing that geriatricians placed in acute and rehabilitation settings offer the most cost-effective deployment given current workforce limitations. Despite some caveats, the overarching message remains clear: geriatric expertise not only enhances care quality but can also align with health-economic objectives, especially in high-acuity environments. However, we cannot allow an inadequate geriatric workforce to become a permanent constraint, forcing painful decisions about which older adults and which settings will miss out on optimal geriatric care. Instead, we should continue to strive to increase the number of geriatricians through robust training programs and payment model reform to ensure that cost-effective care can be provided for this large and growing vulnerable population.  -Alex Smith

What up, Beasts. Welcome back to the show! In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Dr. Jeannie May, whose story blew me away. She shared her near-death experience during the birth of her first child, which completely shifted how she saw life, medicine, and what it means to truly heal. That moment cracked her open to the fact that there's more to this world than the rigid, scientific lens she had been living through as a physician. Years later, on what she thought was just a casual breathwork training, she discovered a practice that allowed her to process emotions and traumas in a way years of talk therapy and medication never could. Hearing her describe how a single session felt like five years of therapy gave me chills.What I loved about our conversation is how she made something as simple as breathing feel like the most underutilized superpower we all have. We talked about everything from anxiety, depression, and stress, to how shallow chest breathing actually keeps our bodies stuck in “danger mode.” Dr. May shared practical tips like box breathing, 4-4-6 breath, and even the surprising sleep hack of taping your mouth at night to help your body rest and heal. And no, before you let your brain go there, this isn't some kinky thing. It's about better sleep, less snoring, and clearer sinuses. Honestly, this episode felt like an invitation to stop white-knuckling our way through stress and start using the power we already carry inside us.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Dr. Jeannie May is a board-certified physician helping people regulate emotions and heal through the power of breath.
