Podcasts about idiopathic intracranial hypertension

You can't control your health any more than you can control the weather. In this episode, I explore how holding individuals responsibe for their health is a relatively recent phenomenon tied to capitalism and neoliberalism, contrasting it with historical perspectives where health was viewed as a collective responsibility. I talk about the benefits of moving from body control to body trust, while addressing systemic factors affecting health and the importance of building supportive communities. Key moments:The Control Illusion [1:31] The Historical Perspective [11:17] What Actually Shapes Our Health?

Living with Idiopathic intracranial hypertension isn't easy. No one tells you the ups and downs you go through with this illness. It's so difficult to describe because it affects each person differently.

Welcome, listeners, to another intriguing episode of DITCH THE LAB COAT. I'm your host, Dr. Mark, and today we've got a particularly compelling show that delves deep into the complexities of obesity medicine. In episode four, we're honored to have obesity and type two diabetes expert, Dr. Sean Wharton, join us to unravel the mysteries of this fascinating and often misunderstood field. Dr. Sean Wharton, Specialist in General Internal Medicine will shed light on how obesity, a disease mired in stigma and misconception, impacts much more than one's physical appearance—it intertwines with psychological states and numerous other medical conditions ranging from cognitive disorders to cardiovascular diseases.Prepare to challenge what you thought you knew about weight management as we discuss the genetic components of obesity, the effectiveness of medications, and the societal perceptions that shape our response to this modern epidemic. This isn't just about the numbers on a scale; it's about understanding the human element behind the struggle with weight, the unseen battles with societal expectations, and the cutting-edge medical interventions that are reshaping lives.Now, let's strip away the stereotypes and biases as Dr. Sean Wharton guides us through the medical and psychological impacts of obesity, the latest research on genetic predispositions, and the innovative treatments leading the charge against this chronic condition. Are you ready to ditch the lab coat and dive into the heart of the matter?

This week's episode is with Levi Peterson, a fighter of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension, Neuro-Behçet's syndrome, and Parksinon's disease. Levi has also experienced 10 major brain surgeries, resulting in her becoming an expert on shunting technology from past complications. In the past, she was an EMT, and currently, she is a patient navigator, which we expand on in the episode.In addition, Levi shares ways she maintained hope and remained strong through her 10 brain surgeries and how she is using her experiences to help other patients currently. We also talk about the numerous complications Levi endured after her invasive surgeries and how artificial intelligence could play a role in the future of shunts. We later discuss the stigma behind IIH and how new research and technology are playing a role in reducing this stigma and increasing awareness of rare neurological disorders. Levi's bravery and strength are incredible, and her humor makes this episode an entertaining listen! Make sure to subscribe to the Neurological Disorder Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to your podcasts! Follow me on Instagram- @neurologicaldisorderpodcast Email me - neurologicaldisorderpodcast@gmail.comLinks Levi Mentioned/helpful resources:https://rarediseases.org/https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21968-idiopathic-intracranial-hypertensionhttps://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/behcets-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20351326

BrainWaves is an academic audio podcast whose mission is to educate medical providers through clinical cases and topical reviews in neurology, medicine, and the humanities, and episodes originally aired from 2016 to 2021.Originally released: July 9, 2020Webster defines “idiopathic” as “arising spontaneously or from an obscure or unknown cause.” By definition, this means idiopathic intracranial hypertension has no proximate cause. But that's not exactly true. This week on the podcast, we explore the evidence behind the theory that transverse sinus stenosis may contribute to this condition.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.01.31.526446v1?rss=1 Authors: Wardman, J. H., Jensen, M. N., Andreassen, S. N., Styrishave, B., Wilhjelm, J. E., Sinclair, A. J., MacAulay, N. J. Abstract: Background: Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a condition characterized by increased intracranial pressure (ICP), impaired vision, and headache. Most cases of IIH occur in obese women of childbearing age, though age, BMI, and female sex do not encompass all aspects of IIH pathophysiology. Systemic metabolic dysregulation has been identified in IIH with a profile of androgen excess. However, the mechanistic coupling between obesity/hormonal perturbations and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics remains unresolved. Methods: Female Wistar rats were either fed a high fat diet (HFD) or exposed to adjuvant testosterone treatment to recapitulate IIH causal drivers. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood testosterone levels were determined with mass spectrometry, ICP and CSF dynamics with in vivo experimentation, and the choroid plexus function revealed with transcriptomics and ex vivo isotope-based flux assays. Results: HFD-fed rats presented with increased ICP, which was not accompanied by altered CSF dynamics or modified choroid plexus function. Chronic adjuvant testosterone treatment of lean rats caused elevated CSF secretion rate, in association with increased activity of the choroid plexus Na+,K+,2Cl- cotransporter, NKCC1. Conclusions: HFD-induced ICP elevation in experimental rats did not originate from an increased rate of CSF secretion. Such modulation of CSF dynamics only came about with adjuvant testosterone treatment, mimicking the androgen excess observed in female IIH patients. Obesity-induced androgen dysregulation may thus play a crucial role in the disease mechanism of IIH. Copy rights belong to original authors.

In this episode, I chat with Jen Roman, who is a fighter of Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. Jen Roman is a 27 year old living with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension & Behçets Disease. Instilled with a classic sense of Jersey-grit and a passion for helping others, she was a firefighter/EMT prior to her diagnosis and subsequent disability. After enduring ten brain procedures, Jen utilized her medical knowledge to become an expert, not only on the conditions that impact her, but also the technology that provides critical relief and management to her daily life. She spends most of her time fighting for legislation as a patient advocate, freelance writing, volunteering for multiple organizations, appearing on podcasts, and helping anyone who requires assistance on their medical journey. Jen is also a professional rock vocalist who aspires to bring her unique style and love of performance into her advocacy. Follow along on her advocacy journey!

This week's interview is with an amazing, funny, and fascinating woman named Jen Roman! Jen is a rare disease patient whose life as an EMT was turned upside down, and since then, she has become well acquainted with spinal taps, brain surgeries, and unknown problems. Jen was diagnosed with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension, or IIH, which is a rare disease caused by an overproduction of cerebrospinal fluid. However, Jen's life is still full of unknowns because she has yet to pinpoint what caused her IIH. She and I talk about struggles of rare disease life, how a scientific occupation can change your perspective on diagnosis, and more!

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH, occasionally called pseudotumour cerebri or benign intracranial hypertension) is a condition characterised by features of raised intracranial pressure without any other cause identified. The main complication is progressive vision loss.  In this episode we discuss presentation, diagnosis and treatment.

In this episode we sit down with pediatric neurologist Dr. Ekta Bery to discuss the headache that is IIH (also known as pseudotumor cerebri) management. Pun intended. Don't forget to check out mdnotified.com for our QuickNotes and episode sources!

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (formerly called pseudotumor cerebri) is a cause of headache, along with optic nerve edema, and can lead to permanent visual loss. This course will address how to diagnose it, how best to treat it, and other topics including subgroups and issues of “outliers.” This is a frequently missed diagnosis, and important to include in a differential diagnosis.

Maddi is a young adult currently dealing with several chronic diseases. She was diagnosed with including Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension, PCOS, Hypothyroidism, and Lyme Disease all within the span of 3 years. She discusses what the process has been like for her. Website Instagram Facebook

Expert neuroophthalmologist Dr Anthony Fok takes us through the common but commonly vexing condition of intracranial atherosclerosis. We talk about how to assess IIH patients, how to manage them medically, when surgery is required, what to do when they don't tolerate the usual medications and more!

We discuss idiopathic intracranial hypertension, also known as pseudotumor cerebri, with frequent guest host Amanda Redfern. We chat about the diagnostic features, mechanism behind the symptoms, differential diagnosis and management

Conference is almost here! In the May 2019 episode of the JAAPA Podcast, hosts Adrian Banning and Kris Maday discuss clinical articles on describing fractures and idiopathic intracranial hypertension. Our hosts also tackle two colossal social topics: gender equality and diversity in the PA profession. Plus, why is Adrian double-checking her carry-on bag and what body part creeps out Kris the most?

Idiopathic intracranial hypertension, also known as the pseudotumor cerebri syndrome, is characterized by elevated intracranial pressure with clinical features of headaches, vision impairment, and occasionally cranial nerve palsies in the absence of a structural lesion on neuroimaging. But that doesn't mean the neuroimaging has to be normal. See what Dr. Anita Kohli has to say about the radiographic correlates of IIH, their relevance, and their prognostic utility in this week's episode.
