Global Practices in Cardiac Imaging for Cardiac Sarcoidosis Guest: Tahir Kafil, M.D. Host: Sharonne Hayes, M.D. Cardiac imaging is a cornerstone in the diagnostic work-up and management of cardiac sarcoidosis. However, indications and use of advanced cardiac imaging vary from institution to institution, and even between providers at the same institution. We conducted an international Delphi consensus study of 89 global experts in cardiac sarcoidosis to evaluate real-world clinical practices and use of advanced cardiac imaging. We developed consensus for use of advanced cardiac imaging in cardiac sarcoidosis. Areas lacking consensus were noted as priority areas for research. Topics Discussed: From a big picture perspective, how is cardiac sarcoidosis generally diagnosed? What exactly is the Delphi methodology your team used to build consensus? The suggested algorithm for imaging in suspected cardiac sarcoidosis uses pretest probability, how was that defined? Was cardiac MRI superior to PET in your study? Does one have to be first? How do experts decide how often to do follow up PET imaging in established cardiac sarcoidosis? What were areas of priority research that were identified? The research study cited by Dr. Kafil was published on June 2, 2025.

Scientists are expanding our understanding of MS at an unprecedented pace. This week, Dr. Leorah Freeman discusses why, as new discoveries and medications enter clinical practice, neurologists and MS specialists should ask themselves 3 important questions when considering a patient's treatment plan. Dr. Freeman is the Director of the Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology Center at Dell Medical School at the University of Texas at Austin, where she also leads the MS and Neuroimmunology fellowship program and the MS Imaging and Outcomes Research Laboratory. We'll also tell you about study results that reveal two distinct biologically-informed MS subtypes. We're explaining some of the confusing background to the FDA's decision not to approve a disease-modifying therapy that achieved positive results in its Phase 3 clinical trial. And did we really need a study to tell us that people living with MS fear experiencing a relapse or disease progression? Well, yes. We'll explain why. We're also reminding you to mail your insurance premium payments and other important documents earlier than you have in the past.

Episode 210: Heat Stroke BasicsWritten by Jacob Dunn, MS4, American University of the Caribbean. Edits and comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice. Definition:Heat stroke represents the most severe form of heat-related illness, characterized by a core body temperature exceeding 40°C (104°F) accompanied by central nervous system (CNS) dysfunction. Arreaza: Key element is the body temperature and altered mental status. Jacob: This life-threatening condition arises from the body's failure to dissipate heat effectively, often in the context of excessive environmental heat load or strenuous physical activity. Arreaza: You mentioned, it is a spectrum. What is the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke? Jacob: Unlike milder heat illnesses such as heat exhaustion, heat stroke involves multisystem organ dysfunction driven by direct thermal injury, systemic inflammation, and cytokine release. You can think of it as the body's thermostat breaking under extreme stress — leading to rapid, cascading failures if not addressed immediately. Arreaza: Tell us what you found out about the pathophysiology of heat stroke?Jacob: Pathophysiology: Under normal conditions, the body keeps its core temperature tightly controlled through sweating, vasodilation of skin blood vessels, and behavioral responses like seeking shade or drinking water. But in extreme heat or prolonged exertion, those mechanisms get overwhelmed.Once core temperature rises above about 40°C (104°F), the hypothalamus—the brain's thermostat—can't keep up. The body shifts from controlled thermoregulation to uncontrolled, passive heating. Heat stroke isn't just someone getting too hot—it's a full-blown failure of the body's heat-regulating system. Arreaza: So, it's interesting. the cell functions get affected at this point, several dangerous processes start happening at the same time.Jacob: Yes: Cellular Heat InjuryHigh temperatures disrupt proteins, enzymes, and cell membranes. Mitochondria start to fail, ATP production drops, and cells become leaky. This leads to direct tissue injury in vital organs like the brain, liver, kidneys, and heart.Arreaza: Yikes. Cytokines play a big role in the pathophysiology of heat stroke too. Jacob: Systemic Inflammatory ResponseHeat damages the gut barrier, allowing endotoxins to enter the bloodstream. This triggers a massive cytokine release—similar to sepsis. The result is widespread inflammation, endothelial injury, and microvascular collapse.Arreaza: What other systems are affected?Coagulation AbnormalitiesEndothelial damage activates the clotting cascade. Patients may develop a DIC-like picture: microthrombi forming in some areas while clotting factors get consumed in others. This contributes to organ dysfunction and bleeding.Circulatory CollapseAs the body shunts blood to the skin for cooling, perfusion to vital organs drops. Combine that with dehydration from sweating and fluid loss, and you get hypotension, decreased cardiac output, and worsening ischemia.Arreaza: And one of the key features is neurologic dysfunction.Jacob: Neurologic DysfunctionThe brain is extremely sensitive to heat. Encephalopathy, confusion, seizures, and coma occur because neurons malfunction at high temperatures. This is why altered mental status is the hallmark of true heat stroke.Arreaza: Cell injury, inflammation, coagulopathy, circulatory collapse and neurologic dysfunction. Jacob: Ultimately, heat stroke is a multisystem catastrophic event—a combination of thermal injury, inflammatory storm, coagulopathy, and circulatory collapse. Without rapid cooling and aggressive supportive care, these processes spiral into irreversible organ failure.Background and Types:Arreaza: Heat stroke is part of a spectrum of heat-related disorders—it is a true medical emergency. Mortality rate reaches 30%, even with optimal treatment. This mortality correlates directly with the duration of core hyperthermia. I'm reminded of the first time I heard about heat stroke in a baby who was left inside a car in the summer 2005. Jacob: There are two primary types: -nonexertional (classic) heat stroke, which develops insidiously over days and predominantly affects vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and those with chronic illnesses during heat waves; -exertional heat stroke, which strikes rapidly in young, otherwise healthy individuals, often during intense exercise in hot, humid conditions. Arreaza: In our community, farm workers are especially at risk of heat stroke, but any person living in the Central Valley is basically at risk.Jacob: Risk factors amplify vulnerability across both types, including dehydration, cardiovascular disease, medications that impair sweating (e.g., anticholinergics), and acclimatization deficits. Notably, anhidrosis (lack of sweating) is common but not required for diagnosis. Hot, dry skin can signal the shift from heat exhaustion to stroke. Arreaza: What other conditions look like heat stroke?Differential Diagnosis:Jacob: Presenting with altered mental status and hyperthermia, heat stroke demands a broad differential to avoid missing mimics. -Environmental: heat exhaustion, syncope, or cramps. -Infectious etiologies like sepsis or meningitis must be ruled out. -Endocrine emergencies such as thyroid storm, pheochromocytoma, or diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) can overlap. -Neurologic insults include cerebrovascular accident (CVA), hypothalamic lesions (bleeding or infarct), or status epilepticus. -Toxicologic culprits are plentiful—sympathomimetic or anticholinergic toxidromes, salicylate poisoning, serotonin syndrome, malignant hyperthermia, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), or even alcohol/benzodiazepine withdrawal. When it comes to differentials, it is always best to cast a wide net and think about what we could be missing if this is not heat stroke. Arreaza: Let's say we have a patient with hyperthermia and we have to assess him in the ER. What should we do to diagnose it?Jacob: Workup:Diagnosis is primarily clinical, hinging on documented hyperthermia (>40°C) plus CNS changes (e.g., confusion, delirium, seizures, coma) in a hot environment. Arreaza: No single lab confirms it, but targeted testing allows us to detect complications and rule out alternative diagnosis. Jacob: -Start with ECG to assess for dysrhythmias or ischemic changes (sinus tachycardia is classic; ST depressions or T-wave inversions may hint at myocardial strain). -Labs include complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel (electrolytes, renal function, liver enzymes), glucose, arterial blood gas, lactate (elevated in shock), coagulation studies (for disseminated intravascular coagulation, or DIC), creatine kinase (CK) and myoglobin (for rhabdomyolysis), and urinalysis. Toxicology screen if history suggests. Arreaza: I can imagine doing all this while trying to cool down the patient. What about imaging?-Imaging: chest X-ray for pulmonary issues, non-contrast head CT if neurologic concerns suggest edema or bleed (consider lumbar puncture if infection suspected). It is important to note that continuous core temperature monitoring—via rectal, esophageal, or bladder probe—is essential, not just peripheral skin checks. Arreaza: TreatmentManagement:Time is tissue here—initiate cooling en route, if possible, as delays skyrocket morbidity. ABCs first: secure airway (intubate if needed, favoring rocuronium over succinylcholine to avoid hyperkalemia risk), support breathing, and stabilize circulation. -Remove the patient from the heat source, strip clothing, and launch aggressive cooling to target 38-39°C (102-102°F) before halting to prevent rebound hypothermia. -For exertional cases, ice-water immersion reigns supreme—it's the fastest method, with immersion in cold water resulting in near-100% survival if started within 30 minutes. -Nonexertional benefits from evaporative cooling: mist with tepid water (15-25°C) plus fans for convective airflow. -Adjuncts include ice packs to neck, axillae, and groin; -room-temperature IV fluids (avoid cold initially to prevent shivering); -refractory cases, invasive options like peritoneal lavage, endovascular cooling catheters, or even ECMO. -Fluid resuscitation with lactated Ringer's or normal saline (250-500 mL boluses) protects kidneys and counters rhabdomyolysis—aim for urine output of 2-3 mL/kg/hour. Arreaza: What about medications?Jacob: Benzodiazepines (e.g., lorazepam) control agitation, seizures, or shivering; propofol or fentanyl if intubated. Avoid antipyretics like acetaminophen. For intubation, etomidate or ketamine as induction agents. Hypotension often resolves with cooling and fluids; if not, use dopamine or dobutamine over norepinephrine to avoid vasoconstriction. Jacob: What IV fluid is recommended/best for patients with heat stroke?Both lactated Ringer's solution and normal saline are recommended as initial IV fluids for rehydration, but balanced crystalloids such as LR are increasingly favored due to their lower risk of hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis and AKI. However, direct evidence comparing the two specifically in the setting of heat stroke is limited. Arreaza: Are cold IV fluids better/preferred over room temperature fluids?Cold IV fluids are recommended as an adjunctive therapy to help lower core temperature in heat stroke, but they should not delay or replace primary cooling methods such as cold-water immersion. Cold IV fluids can decrease core temperature more rapidly than room temperature fluids. For example, 30mL/kg bolus of chilled isotonic fluids at 4 degrees Celsius over 30 minutes can decrease core temperature by about 1 degree Celsius, compared to 0.5 degree Celsius with room temperature fluids. Arreaza: Getting cold IV sounds uncomfortable but necessary for those patients. Our favorite topic.Screening and Prevention:-Heat stroke prevention focuses on public health and individual awareness rather than routine testing. -High-risk groups—elderly, children, athletes, laborers, or those on impairing meds—should acclimatize gradually (7-14 days), hydrate preemptively (electrolyte solutions over plain water), and monitor temperature in exertional settings. -Communities during heat waves need cooling centers and alerts. -For clinicians, educate patients with CVD or obesity about early signs like dizziness or nausea. -No formal "screening" exists, but vigilance in EDs during summer surges saves lives. -Arreaza: I think awareness is a key element in prevention, so education of the public through traditional media like TV, and even social media can contribute to the prevention of this catastrophic condition.Jacob: Ya so heat stroke is something that should be on every physician's radar in the central valley especially in the summer time given the hot temperatures. Rapid recognition is key. Arreaza: Thanks, Jacob for this topic, and until next time, this is Dr. Arreaza, signing off.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser.

Everyone wants to stay active and pain-free, but most people are only shown one path when their body starts breaking down. Manage symptoms or get surgery.Dr. Jeff Gross's story challenges that assumption. After years as a board-certified neurosurgeon working inside an insurance-driven sick care system, he grew frustrated watching patients pushed toward invasive procedures they did not always need. That frustration eventually led him out of the operating room and into regenerative medicine.In this conversation, we break down how non-invasive treatments like stem cells and exosomes actually work, why they are often misunderstood, and how they support the body's own repair process instead of chasing short-term relief. Dr. Gross explains why exosomes drive repair, why targeting the bone matters for cartilage health, and why sleep, protein, and lifestyle habits play a role in recovery.If you are dealing with joint pain, disc issues, or declining mobility and want to avoid unnecessary surgery, this episode offers a smarter framework for long-term recovery and staying active.

Back pain doesn't have to bench your training. We open up about the rough L4 L5 S1 years, the nerve pain that hijacked daily life, and the turning points that brought heavy training and even running back without the dread of tomorrow's flare-up. The big shift wasn't another ab circuit—it was redefining “core” to include adductors, glutes, obliques, and spinal erectors, then pairing that with slow, deliberate positions that the spine can trust under intensity.We dig into the hip-first approach that changed everything: weekly Cossack squats, adductor deadlifts, and glute bridges that build stable range instead of floppy flexibility. From there, we translate it to barbell and gymnastics. Learn how to spot and manage pelvic tilt in squats, pick a stance that matches your anatomy, and use tempo to protect the lumbar at the bottom. On the rig, we tighten the kip so the core and lats lead while the low back stays quiet. For strength without the risk, we lean hard on split squats and lunges—big leg stimulus with near-zero chance of butt wink.We also get real about when training helps and when it doesn't. Imaging and history matter. If nerves are losing function, surgery might be the right step; if progress is steady, smart rehab can carry you far. Inside the gym, our programming adds joint health blocks for hips and shoulders, with repeatable drills and progressive overload so improvements stick. You'll hear community updates, SugarWOD notes and videos we're building, Coach Chase's farewell hangout, and holiday schedule changes so you can plan your sessions.If you've ever been told “just strengthen your core” and still woke up stiff, this conversation gives you a clearer map: build hips, control positions, respect your structure, and train hard within guardrails.

This week we review the topic of mitral annular disjunction ("MAD") and the possible association with ventricular arrhythmia or sudden death in the connective tissue disease patient. Is there a 'cut off' distance above which patients deserve more significant arrhythmia surveillance? What is the best way to measure the MAD distance? Can patients with low MAD distances have lower degrees or even no arrhythmic surveillance? How often should this distance be measured on CMR and can an echo measurement provide similar data? Dr. Daniel Castellanos, the first author of this work and Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Harvard Medical School shares his deep insights this week.DOI: 10.1016/j.jocmr.2025.101954

When we rush to extract, cut, or suppress without understanding, we lose connection to the deeper wisdom it's offering. Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is wait, listen, and trust the design that created you." Bibliography of Referenced Studies Cochrane Review (Systematic Review) Study Title: Surgical removal versus retention for the management of asymptomatic disease-free impacted wisdom teeth Author/Source: Ghaeminia H, et al. Publication: Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2020; CD003879 Key Finding: There is insufficient evidence to support or refute the routine removal of asymptomatic impacted wisdom teeth, and no eligible studies reported on the effects of removal on health-related quality of life. Public Health Critique on Prophylactic Extraction Study Title: The Prophylactic Extraction of Third Molars: A Public Health Hazard Author: Jay W. Friedman, DDS, MPH Publication: American Journal of Public Health (AJPH), 2007; 97(9):1554–1559 Key Finding: Approximately two-thirds of extractions may be unnecessary, calling mass extraction a "silent epidemic of iatrogenic injury." M3BE Study Study Title: Prophylactic vs. symptomatic third molar removal: effects on patient postoperative morbidity Key Finding: Older patients are more at risk for complications (such as nerve injury and persistent pain), confirming that removal has real consequences. Clinical Guidelines (AAOMS) Source: American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons (AAOMS) Title: Third Molar Surgical Guidelines Key Finding: Identifies Pericoronitis as one of the most common indications for surgical removal. Pathology Studies (Cysts/Tumors) Subject: Odontogenic cysts associated with impacted third molars Key Finding: While rare, cysts can erode jawbone and damage neighboring teeth, making this a valid medical reason for removal. Retrospective Complications Study Study Title: Retrospective Oman study: Complications of Third Molar Extraction Key Finding: Referenced in the context of risks and complications associated with extraction.
David Grinspoon discusses upcoming Venus missions: DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) and VERITAS (Venus Emissivity, Radio science, InSAR Topography, and Spectroscopy). DAVINCI, the first entry probe with 21st-century instruments, will precisely measure atmosphere composition, like the deuterium/hydrogen ratio, to reconstruct water history. VERITAS, an orbiter, will map the surface in detail, looking for signs of active volcanism and ancient shorelines.
New NASA Missions DAVINCI and VERITAS Set to Decipher Venus's Atmosphere and History. Dr. David Grinspoon (Planetary Science Institute) and David Livingston (The Space Show) describe the upcoming NASA missions to Venus: DAVINCI (Deep Atmosphere Venus Investigation of Noble gases, Chemistry, and Imaging) and VERITAS. DAVINCI will be the first entry probe with modern instruments since 1979, descending through the atmosphere to sample gases and measure temperature and pressure, also capturing descent photographs. A core scientific goal is obtaining a precise measurement of the deuterium-to-hydrogen ratio and noble gas abundances to better reconstruct the history of water loss and the atmosphere. VERITAS, an orbiter, will use radar and infrared mapping to look for signs of active volcanism and geological evidence of ancient shorelines on the surface. These missions aim to collect detailed data that will allow scientists to walk backward through time and understand how Venus transitioned into its current extremely hot state. Retry
