Dr. Arreaza: Hello, everyone, my name is Dr. Hector Arreaza, I am a family physician and an associate program director in the Clinica Sierra Vista – Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program.  Today we're discussing one of the most powerful predictors of health that many people rarely think about: geography. Where someone lives can influence everything from access to physicians and emergency care to chronic disease outcomes and life expectancy. Joining us today is Peyton, who will be taking a deeper look into the matter. Peyton, thank you for being here — can you start by introducing yourself, please? Peyton: Hello, thank you for having me. My name is Peyton, I am a 4th year medical student with Western Atlantic University, and I am from a very small town in South Dakota.  Dr. Arreaza: Peyton, you are on your last few days in your FM rotation, when are you graduation?  Peyton, you prepared this topic and it is great. When people hear the phrase “your ZIP code can determine your health,” what does that actually mean? Peyton: It basically means that where someone lives can significantly influence their health outcomes and even life expectancy. A person's ZIP code can affect access to physicians, hospitals, transportation, emergency services, and preventative care. Arreaza: Talking about prevention. The American Heart Association agrees with you because Zip code is not part of the cardiovascular risk calculator called PREVENT. I invite everyone to take a look at this new calculator. I think a lot of people assume healthcare is equal as long as hospitals or clinics exist nearby, right? Peyton: Yes, patients may still struggle with overcrowded healthcare systems, which can lead to long wait times. In fact, a national physician appointment survey found that average wait times for new patient primary care appointments in major cities can exceed three weeks, with some cities reporting significantly longer delays depending on specialty access and provider availability. Dr. Arreaza: And when patients experience those kinds of delays, they may frequently switch between providers, which becomes much harder to establish consistent long-term care. Peyton: One of the biggest issues many patients face is continuity of care — having consistent follow-up with the same provider over time. Dr. Arreaza: And that continuity really matters in medicine, especially family medicine, it is one of our keywords: continuity of care. Peyton: Exactly. Preventative care and chronic disease management work best when patients have long-term relationships with healthcare providers. But in many underserved communities, patients may wait months for appointments, frequently change providers, or rely on emergency rooms instead of primary care clinics. Dr. Arreaza: And urgent care too. When care becomes fragmented, conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and chronic illnesses can become much harder to manage. Peyton: Exactly. Delayed screenings, missed follow-up appointments, and lack of preventative care often lead to patients presenting later with more advanced disease that could have been treated earlier. Dr. Arreaza: And urban communities may face some of the same challenges, but rural communities are at a different level of barriers to health care. Peyton: Absolutely. Rural communities often experience significant physician shortages. According to the Health Resources and Services Administration, over 100 million Americans live in primary care shortage areas, and nearly 65% of those shortage areas are located in rural regions. Peyton: I think one of the biggest solutions starts with strengthening primary care and investing more heavily in underserved communities, especially rural areas. Dr. Arreaza: And that includes increasing the number of physicians going into family medicine and primary care specialties.  Peyton: Here is an interesting fact: According to the Graham Center, Northeastern states receive high graduate medical education (GME) funding but produce relatively fewer primary care physicians. Northwestern states receive low GME funding but perform relatively better, producing slightly above the U.S. average (70.8 vs 69.8 primary care physicians per 100,000 people). However, even this remains far below Canada's average of 119 primary care physicians per 100,000 people.  Right now, the United States is facing a growing physician shortage. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, the country could face a shortage of up to 86,000 physicians by 2036, with primary care being one of the most affected areas. Arreaza: Another group that may help address the physician shortage is International Medical Graduates. We'll cover this in more detail in a future episode, but it's worth mentioning briefly here. We have highly trained physicians, including neurosurgeons, driving Uber. There is nothing wrong with that work, but their medical skills could be used to help more people. I'll leave our listeners with that thought: IMGs can help. So, Peyton, are you interested in rural medicine? Peyton: I am very interested in Rural medicine, in fact my next few rotations will be back in South Dakota on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. Actually, the Pine Ridge Reservation is the poorest Indian Reservation in the country.  Peyton: The measure of any healthcare system is not how well it serves those closest to its centers of power, but how far its reach extends to those who need it most. If we are serious about health equity, the road forward must run through every small town, every county clinic, and every community that has been told to wait its turn. Their turn is now.

Returning guest, coach Colleen Miracle, joins us to talk about something many trail runners know they should care about but often ignore: sun protection. The conversation is based on Colleen's UltraSignup article "Why Ultrarunners Face a Higher Risk of Skin Cancer and Decreased Running Performance." Colleen shares her own experience with stage-one skin cancer on her lip, which began as what looked like a small freckle but turned out to be a wound that would not heal. The episode gets practical fast, covering SPF 30, UPF clothing, sun hoodies, lip sunscreen, reapplication during races, altitude exposure, cloudy-day risk, and why a "base tan" is not real protection. For endurance athletes, the biggest takeaway is that sun damage is not just a long-term health issue; during long efforts, your body may divert energy toward cooling and repairing damaged skin instead of helping you keep moving. It is a useful, slightly uncomfortable reminder that protecting your skin may be as important to longevity in the sport as shoes, fueling, or strength work.

Send us Fan MailDr. Melissa Zhou, researcher at the Developing Brain Institute at Children's National, joins Daphna to discuss functional MRI and what it reveals about how preterm brains are building connections during the NICU stay. Using functional connectivity — measuring how different brain regions communicate with each other over time — her team compares preterm infants to healthy in utero fetuses scanned as early as 20 weeks, finding that the ex utero preterm brain actually looks more mature in terms of connectivity, suggesting the NICU environment itself accelerates certain aspects of brain development. She shares why extremely and very preterm infants show a distinctly different pattern of connectivity compared to moderately preterm babies who seem to bounce back more quickly, and why the team's next goal is to use these early functional findings to predict which babies will struggle with neurodevelopmental outcomes at 36 months — and which ones will be just fine.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

The structural shift facing MSPs is the rapid movement from the traditional “model era” to the “orchestration era,” driven by accelerated adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and changing vendor enablement programs. This transition is fueled by companies such as Salesforce and technology directions from hyperscalers, with emerging research from the Futurum Group indicating that AI is not only enabling automation but also redefining service delivery models and expanding the roles required from channel partners. Vendors are continually accelerating product and service updates—cited as multiple releases per year—which is shortening adoption cycles and pressuring MSPs to adapt at a speed not previously required. Primary evidence centers on the introduction of the “Frontier partner” concept, which refers to AI-first, outcome-driven service organizations moving beyond hours-for-dollars into models focused on deep technical co-development with clients. According to research referenced by Tiffani Bova, 85% of MSPs expect AI consulting to be a top growth driver. However, there is a documented gap between expectation and execution, with adoption lagging despite broad anticipation. The episode highlights that small businesses may adopt AI more quickly than large enterprises due to operational flexibility, but both MSPs and clients face substantial risk if internal skills, governance, and data practices do not keep pace. Supporting developments include ongoing commoditization of standardized IT support, as self-healing technologies and direct vendor intervention decrease the margins associated with legacy break-fix and support models. The episode also points to the increasing importance of data quality, governance, and sovereignty as core requirements for realizing value from AI tools. New operational hazards arise around energy consumption for compute, increased complexity from multi-vendor agent orchestration, and persistent risks linked to security governance as clients independently adopt AI solutions—sometimes beyond the reach of MSP controls. Operationally, these shifts increase vendor dependency and drive up the need for continual skills renewal within MSP organizations. Pricing for traditional services faces compression, placing more emphasis on adding value layers such as data orchestration, AI-driven workflow optimization, and governance consulting. Service providers are exposed to heightened contract risk when AI outcomes diverge from human oversight, and are required to implement new governance practices to manage data quality and security concerns. The key risk is that lagging adaptation could convert opportunity into obsolescence, particularly as both vendors and clients accelerate their pace of change. Supported by: ScalePadZero Networks

In today's episode, the discussion features Guillermo Garcia-Manero, MD, who reviewed the clinical rationale for targeting BCL-2 in higher-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and outlined the phase 3 GLORA-4 trial (NCT06641414) evaluating lisaftoclax (APG-2575) plus azacitidine (Vidaza) in this population. Dr Garcia-Manero is the chair ad interim in the Department of Leukemia in the Division of Cancer Medicine, as well as leader of the MDS/AML Moon Shot Program, at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.In the exclusive interview, Dr Garcia-Manero contextualized lisaftoclax as a next-generation BCL-2 inhibitor being advanced as a hypomethylating agent (HMA) partner strategy intended to improve on outcomes historically achieved with azacitidine alone in higher-risk MDS. He emphasized that GLORA-4 is designed as a registrational, randomized trial to rigorously assess whether adding BCL-2 inhibition to standard HMAs can meaningfully deepen responses and translate into clinically relevant benefit. He also characterized the regimen's tolerability profile in a population that often requires careful supportive care and dose management.

BUFFALO, NY — November 25, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 10 of Aging-US on October 13, 2025, titled “Hospitalization with infections and risk of Dementia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.” This large-scale meta-analysis, led by first author Wei Yu Chua from the National University of Singapore and corresponding author Eng-King Tan from the National Neuroscience Institute and Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore, shows that adults hospitalized with infections have a significantly higher risk of developing dementia. The findings are especially important as global populations grow older and hospitalizations for infections increase, highlighting a potential new approach for dementia prevention. “Out of 1900 studies that were screened initially, 16 studies comprising 4,266,276 patients were included for analysis.” The researchers analyzed data from over 4 million individuals across 16 studies, making this study the most comprehensive review to date on the association between infection-related hospital stays and long-term brain health. The results showed that being hospitalized for an infection raised the risk of all-cause dementia by 83%. Among the types of infections studied, sepsis carried the highest risk, followed by pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and skin or soft tissue infections. The risk of developing vascular dementia was notably higher than that of Alzheimer's disease. One possible explanation for the association between infections and dementia is that infections trigger systemic inflammation that may reach the brain. Inflammatory molecules can cross the blood-brain barrier, potentially leading to the buildup of damaging proteins and the death of brain cells. This process may be more severe in older adults, whose immune systems are often slower to respond and recover. The study also suggests that even a single infection-related hospitalization can speed up cognitive decline, especially in individuals already at higher risk. Importantly, the risk of dementia was greatest within the first year following an infection but remained elevated for many years afterward. In fact, studies with follow-ups longer than a decade showed even stronger associations. These results suggest the need for early cognitive monitoring after hospital discharge, particularly in older adults recovering from infections. These findings have important implications for healthcare systems, particularly those serving aging populations, and underscore the lasting impact that infections can have on the brain. This research highlights the importance of looking beyond genetics and lifestyle for prevention strategies. With over 50 million people affected by dementia worldwide and annual care costs in the U.S. exceeding $300 billion, identifying new and preventable risk factors is critical. Reducing infections, improving hospital care, and monitoring brain health after illness may offer promising ways to protect cognitive function in aging populations.

Fatty liver disease (FLD) develops when fat builds up in liver cells, straining an organ vital for energy, metabolism, and detoxification. It is now the leading chronic liver disease worldwide and affects four in 10 U.S. adults A new study in the Journal of Translational Gastroenterology found higher urinary arsenic levels were strongly associated with a greater risk of FLD in the U.S. population Arsenic disrupts liver health by driving oxidative stress, impairing mitochondria, activating fat-storing pathways, and interfering with glucose regulation, all of which accelerate fat buildup and insulin resistance Rice and drinking water are the main everyday sources of arsenic exposure, with contamination often exceeding health-based safety limits and posing risks even at "low" levels Reducing seed oils and alcohol, improving choline intake, and avoiding arsenic-contaminated foods and beverages are key steps to protect your liver and lower your toxic burden

"[When] a lot of men think about prostate exams, they immediately think of the glove going on the hand of the physician, and they immediately clench. But really try to talk with them and discuss with them what some of the benefits are of understanding early detection. Even just having those conversations with their providers so that they understand what the risk and benefits are of having screening. And then educate patients on what a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and digital rectal exam (DRE) actually are—how it happens, what it shows, and what the necessary benefits of those are," ONS member Clara Beaver, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, ACNS-BC, manager of clinical education and clinical nurse specialist at Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, MI, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about prostate cancer screening, early detection, and disparities.

And men aged 40 at an even higher risk, these are the men that have that one first-degree relative who has had prostate cancer before 65. Screening includes the PSA blood test and a digital exam. Those are the screening recommendations, although they are a little bit controversial." TS 3:42 "You still see PSAs and DREs as the first line because they're easier for primary care providers to perform. ... Those are typically covered by insurance, so they still play that role in screening. But with the advent of MRIs and biomarkers, these have really helped refine that screening process and determine treatment options for our patients. Again, those patients who may be at a bit of a higher risk could go for an MRI or have biomarkers completed. Or if they're on that verge with their Gleason score, instead of doing a biopsy, they may send the patient for an MRI or do biomarkers for that patient. ... These updated technologies put [patients] a little bit more at ease that someone's watching what's going on, and they don't have to have anything invasive done to see where they're at with their staging." TS 4:35 "Disparities in screening access exist based on race, socioeconomic status, gender identity, education, and geography. It's really hard in rural areas to get primary care providers or urologists who can actually see these patients, [and] sometimes in urban areas. So socioeconomic status can affect that, but also where a person lives. African American men with lower incomes and people in rural areas face the greatest barriers to receiving screening. It's also important to encourage anyone with a prostate to be screened and offer gender-neutral settings for patients to feel comfortable." TS 7:50 "I think a lot of men feel like if they have no symptoms, they don't have prostate cancer ... so a lot of patients may put off screening because they feel fine, [they] haven't had any urinary symptoms, it doesn't run in their family. ...With prostate cancer, there usually are not symptoms that a patient's having—they may have some urinary issues or some pain—but it's not very frequent that they have that. So, just making sure our patients understand that even though they're not feeling something, it doesn't mean there's not something else going on there." TS 12:53 "Prostate cancer found at an early age can be very curable, so it's really important for men to have those conversations with their providers about the risk and benefits of screening. And anyone that we can help along the way to be able to have those conversations, I think is a great thing for oncology nurses to do." TS 15:44

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, The American Journal of Managed Care® (AJMC®) speaks with Tory M. Wolff, MBA, an author of a study published in the September 2025 issue and managing partner of Recon Strategy, a management consulting firm specializing in health care strategy. His study, "Impact of More Primary Care Visits on Commercial Health Care Costs," found that more frequent routine primary care visits among certain higher-risk commercially insured adults are associated with lower net population-level health care costs. In this conversation, Wolff explores the inspiration behind his research, expands on his findings, and discusses the next steps to better understand the long-term value of routine primary care in commercial populations.

Instant coffee increases dry age-related macular degeneration risk nearly sevenfold compared to other coffee types, according to genetic studies Each cup of instant coffee causes equivalent of 0.38 years additional biological aging by shortening protective telomeres on chromosomes Instant coffee contains more contaminants like acrylamide, lead, and advanced glycation end products due to intense heat processing methods Filtered coffee using freshly ground beans shows no harmful effects on telomeres or eye disease risk in research studies Experts recommend completely avoiding instant coffee and switching to organic, shade-grown filtered coffee to protect long-term health

That's the conclusion of Karen Petrou at Federal Financial Analytics after President Donald Trump moved to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook last evening. That follows unproven allegations of mortgage fraud. Whether or not the move is legal, it raises additional concerns over the independence of America's central bank and the dollar's role as the global reserve currency. And later: What's the relationship between the Fed's benchmark rate and mortgage rates?

Scientists associated with Madras Diabetes Research Foundation (MDRF) find that it often presents with more severe beta-cell dysfunction and relatively less insulin resistance.  

BUFFALO, NY — August 14, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Volume 17, Issue 7, of Aging (Aging-US) on July 3, 2025, titled “Frailty associates with respiratory exacerbations and mortality in the COPDGene cohort.” In this study, led by first author Eleanor Kate Phillips from Brigham and Women's Hospital and corresponding author Dawn L. DeMeo from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, researchers investigated how frailty impacts lung health and survival in individuals with a history of cigarette smoking. They found that frailty raises the risk of lung attacks and death, even in smokers with preserved lung function. This result shows why all current and former smokers should be checked for frailty. Frailty is a condition that makes the body more vulnerable to illness, especially in older adults. This study focused on more than 2,600 adults with a history of heavy smoking, many of whom showed no signs of lung damage on standard tests. At the second follow-up visit, participants were categorized as robust, prefrail, or frail and followed for about three years. Researchers tracked how often they experienced respiratory attacks, such as episodes of severe coughing or breathlessness, and whether they survived during that period. “COPDGene is a cohort study of individuals aged 45–80 with a minimum 10 pack-year smoking history.” The results showed that people who were frail had a three- to five-fold higher chance of developing serious or frequent respiratory attacks compared to those who were robust. These risks were not limited to people with chronic lung disease. In fact, many frail participants with normal lung function still faced a significantly higher chance of lung attacks and death. Even those in the “prefrail” stage, a milder form of frailty, were more likely to experience health complications. The research team also found that frailty was associated with an accelerated pace of biological aging, measured using a DNA-based test called DunedinPACE. This supports the idea that frailty may reflect deeper biological changes in the body that go beyond what traditional lung function tests can detect. These findings challenge the idea that standard lung tests can rule out future respiratory complications in people with a history of smoking. Altogether, the study shows that simple frailty checks could help identify early health problems, allowing for timely interventions that may prevent hospitalizations and potentially save lives. The study suggests that frailty screening may be a valuable tool in public health efforts to reduce respiratory disease and improve outcomes for aging adults.

A new study, led by researchers at the University of Washington, has linked exposure to wildfire smoke with a higher risk of developing dementia. The study followed more than 1.2 million Kaiser Permanente Southern California members from 2008 to 2019. It also found that minority communities and those living in higher-poverty census tracts were more likely to be diagnosed with dementia than white or higher-income patients. Joan Casey is an associate professor of environmental and occupational health sciences at UW. She joins us with more details on how wildfire smoke can affect our brains and bodies.

According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, veterans have a 57% higher risk of suicide than the general population. But little is known about how that risk differs between men and women. In the first study of its kind, researchers at Oregon Health & Science University followed a group of veterans for roughly a year after a nonfatal suicide attempt. They found that the women who were surveyed reported more social rejection and lower levels of self-compassion than men, suggesting a higher risk of another attempt.  Lauren Denneson is a professor of psychiatry at OHSU and associate director of the Center to Improve Veteran Involvement in Care at the VA Portland Health Care System. She is the lead author of the study and joins us with more details. Note: If you’re a veteran in crisis or concerned about one, contact the Veterans Crisis Line to receive 24/7 confidential support. To reach responders, dial 988 then press 1, chat online at VeteransCrisisLine.net/Chat, or text 838255.
