The 13-year-old Derek Rosa is caught on the family's nanny cam, standing over his sleeping mother moments before the honor student stabs her to death. His newborn sister is sleeping in a crib steps away. Derek Rosa is not your typical 13-year-old boy: He is on the honor roll with neighbors saying he is exceedingly nice and the model son. Irena Garcia, 39, just gave birth to a baby girl. So it was shocking when the teen called 911, telling the dispatcher that he snuck into the room where his mom and the baby were sleeping and stabbed his mother dead. As the operator talks to Rosa, he tells her he took pictures of the murder and sent them to a "friend." He also says he then deleted the photos. When pressed for the friend's name, Rosa says it is just somebody he knows online. During his call with 911, Rosa said he had a gun he planned to use to kill himself but decided not to. Derek Rosa was taken into custody and transported to a juvenile detention center. He was then moved to Jackson Memorial Hospital after he threatened to harm himself. Rosa was initially charged with second-degree murder, but a Miami-Dade grand jury found enough probable cause to indict the teen as an adult and up the charge to first-degree murder. Rosa's defense attorney has put motions in front of the judge to move this case back to juvenile court.

Research has shown that a key indicator of whether a physician works in a rural healthcare setting is the location of their residency. While these opportunities can be scarce in rural facilities, one physician is working to expand physician residency opportunities in rural areas. This week we're talking to Dr. Jack Michel, Strategic Advisor at RuralGME. “We want to expand these opportunities because it's such an incredible opportunity for people to be able to work on their skills, while not incurring huge debt and serving the public.” -Dr. Jack Michel Dr. Jack Michel is a physician specializing in Internal Medicine. He received his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Miami in 1984, earning Summa Cum Laude. He received his Medical Doctor degree from the University of Miami School of Medicine in 1989 and completed his residency in Internal Medicine at Jackson Memorial Hospital in 1993. He served as Chief Medical Resident at the VA Medical Center for the University of Miami in 1994. His determination in having a successful impact on the community led him to acquire Larkin Community Hospital in 1998. In 2011, Larkin Community Hospital instituted its first Graduate Medical Education programs and has now grown to offer residencies in 30 different specialties and is the sixth largest Statutory Teaching Hospital in Florida (by the number of physicians in training) and the fourth largest by specialties in supply/demand deficit in Florida.
Episode 137: Heart Transplant and LVADFuture Doctor My explains two treatments for advanced heart failure, heart transplant and Left Ventricle Assist Device (LAVD). Dr. Arreaza adds historical information about the first artificial heart implant and the first LAVD. Written by My Chau Nguyen, MSIV, American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine. 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.Introduction: Advanced heart failure is a major concern in the United States. Heart failure has a high 1-year mortality average of 33%. Although medical therapies have improved survival rates, some patients with progressive and advanced heart failure may still require heart transplantation or mechanical support such as left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) to prolong survival and improve quality of life.It is estimated that 23 million people in the world have heart failure, and many of them are in end-stage heart failure. When it comes to treating severe heart failure, there are two main options: heart transplantation and left ventricular assist devices (LVADs). Heart transplant: The operation to perform a heart transplant typically lasts between five to six hours but may take longer in patients who have undergone previous open-heart surgery or have an LVAD in place. However, because donors' hearts are a scarce resource, not all patients are eligible for transplantation. The following are absolute indications for referral for Heart Transplant listing:Cardiogenic shock requiring continuous intravenous inotropic therapy (i.e., dobutamine, milrinone, etc.) or circulatory support with intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation devices or left ventricular assist device (LVAD) to maintain adequate organ perfusion.Peak oxygen consumption VO2 (VO2max) less than 10 mL/kg per minute.New York Heart Association NYHA class III or IV despite maximized medical and resynchronization therapy.Recurrent life-threatening arrhythmias unresponsive to medical therapy such as an implantable cardiac defibrillator, medical therapy, or catheter ablation.End-stage congenital heart failure with no evidence of pulmonary hypertension.Refractory severe angina without potential medical or surgical therapeutic options.Selected patients with restrictive and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies.My experience with a heart transplant: I consider myself extremely fortunate for witnessing the whole complex procedure involved in lung and heart transplantation at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami, FL. It was an incredible experience to join the transplant team in retrieving a donor organ. Timing plays a critical role in heart transplants. When a suitable donor becomes available, every second counts. We must quickly arrange transport and secure an operating room. It is essential that the distance between the donor and the hospital is within our designated region. For example, we are in Region 5, including Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. Once everything is in order, we divide into two teams. One team sets off to retrieve the donor while the other prepares the patient in the operating room. It is a race against time, as hearts and lungs must be transplanted within approximately four hours of removal from the donor. It was remarkable to see how everything was so precisely scheduled, from the arrival and departure of the teams to the transplantation of the organs. It is an inspiring experience to witness these life-saving procedures in action.History of the artificial heart.Arreaza: It is great to hear about your experience, but we know that not everyone can have a heart transplant. So, let us talk about other options. For example, an artificial heart. I lived in Utah for several years and I heard something about the first artificial heart being implanted there, so here is the information. William DeVries was the surgeon who led the implantation of the first artificial heart, the Jarvik-7, at the University of Utah on December 1, 1982. The patient was a retired dentist, Barney Bailey Clark, who survived 112 days connected to the device. Today, the modern version of the Jarvik-7 is known as the SynCardia temporary Total Artificial Heart. It has been implanted in more than 1,350 people as a bridge to transplantation.Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD):In recent years, LVADs have become increasingly popular as a viable alternative to transplantation, as they have demonstrated improved durability by using wear-free components, greatly improving mortality rates in heart failure patients. Arreaza: The first left ventricular assist device (LVAD) system was created by Domingo Liotta at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, in 1962. It is basically a pump that is used for patients who are on end-stage heart failure. The LVAD is surgically implanted, it is a battery-operated pump that helps the left ventricle pump blood to the rest of the body. LVADs can be used as a temporary treatment while patients are waiting for a transplant. It is called a “bridge-to-transplant therapy”. In some cases, an LVAD may restore a failing heart and eliminate the need for a transplant. An LAVD may also be used as a “destination therapy” in patients who are not candidates for heart transplants. LVAD can prolong and improve patients' quality of life.My: The purpose of an LVAD is to support patients with heart failure by increasing perfusion and reducing filling pressures in the heart. It is important to note, however, that LVADs only partially assist the pumping action of the diseased ventricle and cannot fully replace the function of the heart. Therefore, the decision to have an LVAD or heart transplant must be taken after careful discussion between the patient and the cardiologist to determine which option is best to reach the patient's goals of care.Example of an LVAD:Recently, The Berlin Heart Ventricular Assist Device (VAD) has been a game-changer in saving children with severe heart conditions. As you may guess from the name, it is developed in Germany. It is recently approved by US FDA in 2011. This type of LVAD has been used in approximately 1,000 children worldwide, including 12 cases in the United States. The Berlin Heart is a simple air-driven pump that takes over the work of one or both sides of a child's own heart. It pumps blood around the body to keep the brain and other organs healthy, allowing the child to grow and get stronger. The use of this device is required until the child is transplanted, or for a small number of children until their own heart recovers. I once again had the privilege of witnessing the procedure performed by one of the inventors, my preceptor, Dr. Loebe in the NICU at Jackson Memorial Hospital.Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 137, “Heart Transplant and LVAD.” My explained two options for the treatment of advanced heart failure: Heart transplant and Left Ventricular Assist Device, or LVAD. She shared her recent experience in her surgery rotation at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Dr. Arreaza added the history of the first artificial heart implanted in Utah and the first LAVD.

When a utility worker came across Inna Budnytska, he initially thought she was dead. She'd been severely beaten and abandoned in a vacant lot in Miami. She was unconscious, and remained in that state until a team at Jackson Memorial Hospital nursed her back to health. The next day, when Inna felt well enough to communicate with police, she told them her name and asked to speak with her attorney. That struck detectives as odd. Suspicious, even. But the truth was that Inna had just survived a terrible crime. She was alone in America, and her attorney was one of the few people she knew. Then Brandi tells us about Robert Schwartz, a celebrated scientist and founding member of the Virginia Biotechnology Association. Robert's colleagues began to worry about him when he didn't show up for work one Monday morning in December of 2001. A neighbor came to check on Robert in his rural home, and discovered a grizzly scene. Robert had been murdered two days earlier, just as he was preparing to sit down to eat dinner. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “The Case of the Vanishing Blonde,” by Mark Bowden for Vanity Fair “The Woman in the Suitcase,” episode of 20/20 “Serial rapist was on the loose for years before an abandoned suitcase put a stop to his crimes,” by Chris Kilmer and Allie Yang for ABC News “‘Suitcase rapist pleads guilty in New Orleans and sentenced to 45 years,” by Jim Mustian for The New Orleans Advocate In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “Clara Schwartz” episode Snapped “Clara Schwartz: A Deadly Game” by Katherine Ramsland, The Crime Library “Schwartz v.

In this interview, Marco discusses how he was invited to do a study on EMDR, to understand the neurological mechanisms behind the processing of the trauma. He discussed his career being a MD and a neuroscientist interested in memory. He discussed using EEG to measure what was happening in the brain during bilateral stimulation during EMDR. He explained that they were able to determine that the delta waves that were being evoked during EMDR were similar to the delta waves exhibited during sleep, and he discussed how sleep is so significantly connected to processing of memory. He discussed the processes of trauma and the mechanisms of action for EMDR. Marco Pagani, MD is a nephrologist trained in internal medicine from Jackson Memorial Hospital and attended medical school at the University of Miami School of Medicine. He has been working in neuroimaging since 1990 and has over 30 years of experiences. He works for the Italian Research Council called Sayonara. His interests are primarily in the neurobiology aspects of EMDR and in neurodegenerative disorders.

“Creativity is thinking new things. Innovation is doing new things. If your actions create a legacy that inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then, you are an excellent leader.” Tune in to hear Miami-born attorney, small business owner, mother, and District 8 Miami-Dade County Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins discuss the future of digital currency, plans for transportation advancements in Miami-Dade, sustainable economic development, the challenges of balancing beauty and brains, and more! How Will Cryptocurrency Transform The Future of Business Forever? If you haven't quite yet warmed up to the idea of cryptocurrency, you are certainly not alone. Only about 15% of Americans currently own some form of digital currency like Bitcoin or Ethereum. And a large portion of these investors bought in the past two years. Regardless of your investment stance, however, there is a strong possibility that cryptocurrency will be impacting you and the future of business transactions. The daughter of Jamaican immigrants who came to the United States in search of better opportunities, she was born at Jackson Memorial Hospital and spent part of her early years living in what is now a Section 8 housing complex called Milton Manors. Commissioner Cohen Higgins knows the importance of a quality education and is a proud product of our Miami-Dade County Public Schools, where she graduated at the top of her class and earned a scholarship to the University of Florida. She became the first in her family to graduate from college and went on to attend law school at Florida State University. After completing her education, she joined prestigious national law firm, before branching off on her own to start her own firm, dedicated to serving small businesses and individuals in our community. She is proud to call South Dade home with her husband, two young children, and their two dogs. #BrittHappens #MiamiDadeCounty #BrittanySharpton #DanielleCohenHiggins Host: Brittany Sharpton

Dr. Ima Ebong is a native of the Bahamas who is practicing on a J-1 visa. Though she went to medical school in the US, that process wasn't straightforward as she was still considered an IMG. Listen to her perspective on getting into US medical training as an international student. You can read more about her here. Dr. Ima Ebong forms part of the expert team at the Kentucky Neuroscience Institute where she assesses and cares for patients who have epilepsy and neuromuscular disorders. She holds a bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering and a master's in bioengineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. After having completed her studies, she served within the Ministry of Health in the Bahamas which inspired her to start medical school. The journey to becoming a physician was far from an easy one. However, Dr. Ebong, despite several setbacks, persevered and was finally offered a place at the University of Kentucky (UK) College of medicine, and later at the Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami where she completed her residency and a fellowship in clinical neurophysiology. Currently, she is appointed as an assistant professor of neurology and clinical neurophysiology at UK College of Medicine. Dr. Ebong is also passionate about diversity and the representation of ethnic minorities in the medical field. As such, for many years she has founded or been involved in various programs geared at increasing inclusivity of underrepresented minorities in the medical field. Her clinical interests include general neurology, focal epilepsy, generalized epilepsy, psychogenic non-epileptic seizures, neuropathy, myopathy, motor neuron disease and electrodiagnostics. Dr. Ebong's advises prospective international medical students and IMGs alike to: Educate yourself on the processes necessary to achieve your goals including visas and financial requirements. Do not be discouraged if you are not the traditional student. Many students, like her, choose to pursue post-graduate studies before medical school and residency. You only need one "yes" - Rejection is an essential part of life, and more "no's" just mean that you're pushing as hard as you should. Value your support system throughout your journey. You can reach out to Dr. Ebong on twitter @ImaEbongMD or at the University of Kentucky's website.

Chadwick Flowers, MD, is an Assistant Professor of at the University of Miami as well as an Associate Director of the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Jackson Memorial Hospital—University of Miami. Dr. Flowers completed his medical school from Indiana University and a Med-Peds Residency from the University of Miami where he stayed on to become a Chief Resident. He is a Med-Peds hospitalist providing inpatient care to adults and children at the University of Miami, Jackson Memorial Hospital and Holtz Children's Hospital. His academic interests include medical education, inpatient quality Improvement, and bedside procedure/diagnostics. In medicine, our top priority should always be the patient. But in order to provide the highest quality of care for patients, we cannot forget about our own well-being. Today, Dr. Chadwick Flowers explains the importance of self-care and the prevention of burnout in medicine. We'll learn a few mindfulness techniques (and what box-breathing is), and he reassures us that if we need to take a break—we are entitled to that. Aside from self-care alone, he shares the best habits of successful residents: The ones who are willing to dive into residency with an open-mind, and who aren't afraid to put themselves out there, even when rejection is inevitable. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. We cannot leave behind our own mental health. Develop and practice mindfulness techniques, breathwork throughout the day and in moments of stress, and know when to take a break. 2. We need mentorship for every aspect of our life. Find someone who is doing what we want to do, and reach out to them. Often, our mentors are what guide us toward our true passions. 3. Be willing to face rejection. Still, have the ability to put yourself out there. If we are persistent in our goals, and finding good mentors, we will eventually find the people who invest in us.

Hay compañías que ya tienen la licencia para enviar el paquete que se requiere para tomar la muestra por el patólogo que lo está realizando en cada uno de los paises de Latinoamerica. ...Si, en la mayoría de estos nódulos indeterminados, sobretodo de las categorías III y IV, es posible que hasta un 60 % de los pacientes no tenga cáncer y vayan a una cirugía innecesaria. La cirugía innecesaria no solamente implica el hecho de retirar un órgano tan noble como el tiroides (que tiene una función única y es particularmente difícil, inclusive para los endocrinólogos una vez que la persona va a cirugía, manejarlo), sino que también tiene que tomar en cuenta que una persona que va a cirugía se expone a otros riesgos: el tiroides es uno de los órganos que tiene además, en la parte posterior, otras glándulas como las paratiroides que controlan el calcio; está cerca de nervios que, básicamente, comprometen la voz del paciente. Es una cirugía; dependiendo de la edad del paciente, los riesgos de cirugía pueden ser menos o más altos... ...En el futuro estos análisis moleculares van a cambiar totalmente la manera en que nosotros vamos a clasificar, finalmente, los nódulos. Estos análisis moleculares están avanzando a pasos gigantes. Esperamos, además, que va a ser un beneficio para clarificar el diagnóstico de los pacientes que, a futuro, también nos guíe acerca de cómo tratar, si se da la situación a las personas con cáncer, de una manera más adecuada... Philip James, presentador: Hoy estamos con el Doctor Paul Casanova. El hizo sus estudios en la Universidad de Miami y también en Venezuela. El está trabajando en el Palm Beach Diabetes and Endocrine Specialist y es un miembro de la American Thyroid Association. Doctor Casanova, Bienvenido. Dr. Casanova: Muchas gracias, Philip, por la invitación.Y a todos aquellos que te escuchan: hoy, precisamente, vamos a hablar un poco más alrededor del tema de la evaluación de nódulos tiroideos. Ha sido un viaje a través del tiempo y a través de los últimos años; ahora tenemos mucho más que compartir con las personas que te escuchan. Philip James, presentador: Si, el tema de hoy es: Nódulos Indeterminados. Hablaremos más sobre este tema. Pero, acerca de su experiencia valorando los nódulos, lo cual ha hecho por muchos años... Por favor ¿puede compartir algo de su experiencia anterior? Dr. Casanova: Si, mi experiencia ha comenzado hace más de, aproximadamente, siete años (en el 2010). Tuve la oportunidad de tomar los primeros tests, que fueron utilizados, precisamente, para el diagnóstico de nódulos indeterminados y malignos, que fueron, en aquel momento, presentados por la Universidad de Pittsburgh, por el Doctor Yuri Nikiforov. Esos tests (que no estaban disponibles para el público) nos permitieron entrar en conocimiento de una de las mutaciones más frecuentes que se ven en nódulos malignos y tratar de probar si eso tenía cierta utilidad para los pacientes en términos de asegurar el diagnóstico o darle alguna explicación adicional a los cirujanos. Más adelante, otra serie de tests moleculares han salido en los últimos 7 años y estos tests moleculares han sido, básicamente, probados a través de diferentes estudios. Y eso es lo que he utilizado a través de estos últimos años y he visto los resultados a través [de ello], y el beneficio para mis pacientes, particularmente aquellos que tienen un diagnóstico de nódulos indeterminados. Philip James, presentador: Entonces, en el tema de nódulos, ¿cuántas personas en el mundo tienen un nódulo de tiroides? Dr. Casanova: Eso es un elemento variable en cada población. En términos generales, aquí en los Estados Unidos por ejemplo, podría decirse que después de la edad de 40 años, más del 50 % de las mujeres pueden tener nódulos tiroideos; es, de hecho, el tumor endocrino más común que tenemos presente en la actualidad. Pero el hecho de ser común no quiere decir que todo nódulo tiroideo es maligno; de hecho, la gran mayoría de estos nódulos son de naturaleza benigna. En términos generales podemos decir que, en Los Estados Unidos, unos 450 mil casos de biopsia de tiroides se han hecho en los últimos años y, a pesar de esa cantidad de biopsias, la gran mayoría de ellas no tiene ningún tipo de malignidad; es por ello que ahora hay un énfasis en tratar de mejorar cada uno de los recursos que tenemos para evitar, precisamente, que personas vayan a cirugía, y tratar de no hacer un exceso de cirugías innecesarias en esta población. Philip James, presentador: Y para aquellos que están escuchando esta entrevista y posiblemente están pensando: “¿Cómo sabemos si tenemos un nódulo de tiroides?” Dr. Casanova: Si. En términos generales, la primera observación que tiene la persona es ir al médico. Estos nódulos de tiroides, aun cuando es una minoría, pueden ser detectados por su médico. Nódulos de más de 2.5 cm pueden ser palpables a través del examen físico del cuello; el examen físico del cuello, si usted lo solicita, su médico general, su ginecólogo puede realizarlo. Aun cuando esta es una de las formas de poder diagnosticar nódulos, la mayoría de los nódulos que nosotros vemos son diagnosticados porque la persona va a estudios diferentes. Por ejemplo: la persona va y se va a hacer un ultrasonido de las arterias carótidas y alguien le dicen: “Mira, tienes algo en el tiroides”; la persona va a hacerse un estudio del pecho y le dicen: “tienes algo en el tiroides”. Y eso es algo también muy común; la mayoría de los nódulos tiroideos no son diagnosticados necesariamente por palpación, solo aquellos que son grandes y están superficiales. Los nódulos tiroideos en algunas ocasiones, si hay síntomas (si la persona tiene problemas para tragar; la persona tiene de pronto problemas para respirar; o en algunas ocasiones, con historia familiar en el pasado de que los padres o sus hermanos tienen nódulos; o la persona tienen historial de cáncer de tiroides; o fue expuesto a radiación), lo óptimo sería que la persona solicitara al menos hacerse un ultrasonido del cuello que incluya el tiroides. Philip James, presentador: Doctor Casanova, entonces si un paciente tiene un nódulo de tiroides, ¿hay algún examen en particular para saber con certeza si es cáncer o no? Dr. Casanova: Una vez que la persona se hace el ultrasonido y se ha hecho una evaluación propia de la historia del paciente, el ultrasonido como tal no es, completamente, una herramienta para nosotros decirle al paciente si tiene o no tiene algo maligno. El ultrasonido nos guía para, precisamente, seleccionar qué casos requieren, lo que es el tema de tu pregunta y es, hacer una biopsia de aguja fina dirigida por ultrasonido para obtener una muestra de citopatología. El diagnóstico de malignidad requiere, y está basado en, la obtención de material dentro de los nódulos que son sospechosos, y ser analizados entonces por un patólogo [el cual] nos indica si existe la certeza de si es malignidad, o no. Philip James, presentador: Pero, ¿podemos saber, con cierto porcentaje de certeza, si es cáncer? Dr. Casanova: No. Lastimosamente ningún test, ni siquiera la citopatología, es 100% seguro; uno obtiene a través de la citopatología, un análisis a través de, aproximadamente, 6 tipos de diagnóstico. Los diagnósticos que podemos obtener a través de la muestra citopatologica, inclusive cuando es benigno, pudiera todavía tener un porcentaje mínimo de un 6 a un 7% de malignidad. Y esto es importante que la gente lo entienda porque muchas veces, a pesar de que recibe diagnóstico de benignidad, después de una biopsia de tiroides todavía requiere que el nódulo sea observado a través del tiempo para ver si se comporta como debe hacerlo un nódulo benigno. Si ese nódulo se comporta de una manera diferente, entonces requiere otra vez evaluacion. Pero, en términos generales, es lo mejor que tenemos en este momento: la citopatología sigue siendo el estándar para diagnostico, y ahora estamos agregando, precisamente, el análisis molecular, que va a incrementar nuestra certeza y la información que le vamos a dar, entonces, a los pacientes. Philip James, presentador: En ocasiones anteriores, usted ha hablado sobre un arcoiris o “rainbow”, sobre qué ocurre después de este examen, ¿puede compartir más detalles sobre eso? Dr. Casanova: Exacto. En la actualidad, desde 1909, los patólogos han llegado a un acuerdo para tener un lenguaje común, y ese lenguaje común lo podemos, precisamente, tomar como referencia a un arco iris de diagnósticos que van en 6 diferentes categorías: la categoría número I es que de la persona, por razones diversas, no se obtuvo suficiente material y no hay un diagnóstico preciso; no existe el suficiente grupo de células para definir si es algo bueno o algo malo; las categorías que van del II al VI son precisamente ese arcoiris: la categoría 2 es la categoría buena, benigna; la categoría 6 es la categoría maligna. Ello nos da una definición para tomar decisiones quirúrgicas. Sin embargo, debido a las categorías particulares del tiroides, hay otras tres características entre la buena y la mala (entre la benigna y la maligna) con las que, básicamente, el citopatólogo o la persona que está leyendo la lámina o la muestra de la biopsia de tejido [tiroideo], puede, totalmente, tomar una decisión adecuada. Esas categorías, que son la III, IV, V, son categorías que nosotros la llamamos globalmente como Nódulos Con Una Citopatología Indeterminada. Si esa categoría, que va del III al V se acercaba más a la parte benigna, el porcentaje de personas (en el pasado, cuando no teníamos ciertas herramientas como los análisis y marcadores moleculares), todas estas personas iban a cirugía. Las personas que iban a cirugía en la categoría III tenían un porcentaje de malignidad entre un 15 y un 30%, esto se incrementaba en la categoría IV de un 30 a un 40%, y en la categoría V era un 70% de riesgo de malignidad. Por eso, porque esa característica indeterminada está presente particularmente en las categorías III y IV ([y de ahí] el riesgo de ir a una cirugía innecesaria, sin propósito, porque iban a hacer un diagnóstico al final benigno), ahora los endocrinólogos, los otorrinolaringólogos y los patólogos, utilizamos marcadores moleculares para definir y clarificar qué personas, definitivamente, se benefician de ir a cirugía y cuáles son aquellas que, basados en el resultado molecular, pueden permanecer sin cirugía y con observación a través del ultrasonido. Lo que estamos buscando con estos análisis moleculares es igualar el riesgo que una persona tendría si es diagnosticado ese nódulo como benigno. Como yo lo dije y comenté anteriormente: un nódulo benigno no significa 100 % seguridad de que no pueda ser algo malo, pero nos puede dar hasta un 94 % de seguridad de que uno está a salvo de tener cáncer de tiroides. Si nosotros tenemos un test que (en estas categorías III y IV, que son indeterminadas), nos permita igualar ese riesgo de llevar esos nódulos al mismo porcentaje de seguridad de observación, estamos ayudando al paciente a evitar cirugía innecesaria y, además de eso, le evitamos costos al sistema de salud pública. Philip James, presentador: Entonces, sobre este tema de las categorías III y IV... Dr. Casanova: El Bethesda III y IV, exacto. Philip James, presentador: ¿Qué podemos hacer para obtener más información sobre este tema de las categorías III y IV? Dr. Casanova: Si. La parte de lo que son las categorías III y IV, que son, para los patólogos, categorías del Sistema de Bethesda. Para las personas que van [a consulta], en un momento dado su médico toma la decisión de hacer una biopsia por aguja fina, requiere que la persona solicite que al mismo tiempo tomen la muestra para el análisis molecular. Los análisis moleculares que nosotros tratamos de recomendar a las personas son análisis moleculares que pregunten o traten de definir, si este nódulo es realmente benigno. Hay dos tipos de análisis moleculares: unos que son de confirmación de si “¿tú eres un nódulo malo?”, pero hay otros análisis que se basan, básicamente, en descartar que son malos; en este caso, confirmar la benignidad. Es el médico que está realizando la biopsia el que tiene la oportunidad, al hacer el mismo pase de agujas que utilizamos para la citopatología, de tomar una muestra del test molecular y guardarlo al momento en espera del resultado final de la citopatología o del reporte. Si el reporte de la patología viene con categorías III o IV (que son indeterminados), en ese momento ya la persona tiene la muestra y puede ser enviada para el análisis y la clarificación, para evitar entonces la decisión final, en este caso, de ir a cirugia sin ningún otro tipo de ayuda. Y lo que hacemos con el análisis molecular, en este caso, es ayudar a la persona a tomar la decisión clínica correcta. Eso es lo que hacemos con este nuevo tipo de análisis moleculares. Philip James, presentador: Para terminar. Cuando un paciente va por primera vez y el nódulo es indeterminado, ¿necesita volver otra vez para otra punción con aguja fina?, o ¿se pueden usar los resultados de la primera? Dr. Casanova: Si la persona que está haciendo la biopsia toma la previsión de tomar la muestra (porque estas son muestra en las que están separadas la biopsia de la citopatología), de tomar la muestra y colocarla en el tubo (es un tubo especial; muchos de estos estudios moleculares requieren de un tubo especial), la persona no requiere repetir la biopsia. En otras ocasiones, (porque en categoría III, la Asociación Americana de Tiroides lo recomienda), tiene 3 posibilidades: o ir a cirugía; o repetir la biopsia; o hacer observación. El repetir la biopsia: si la persona no pudo tomar la muestra molecular en ese momento, se toma la muestra y se clarifica (pero todavía en este punto no ha ido a cirugía). Nosotros recomendamos de nuevo, que la persona, cuando vaya a hacerse una biopsia, le pregunte a la persona que la está haciendo si va, al mismo tiempo de tomar la muestra para citopatología, a guardar una muestra para el análisis molecular, y así evitar hacer dos veces un procedimiento que, por supuesto, produce molestias. En términos generales, volver a repetir lo mismo otra vez [genera] un costo adicional para el paciente Philip James, presentador: Y ¿esto es común para los médicos en general?, ¿ellos están usando el examen molecular? Doctor casanova: La mayoría de los médicos que hacen biopsia (la gran mayoría) están ya familiarizados con estos tests moleculares. De hecho (...) Aquí particularmente, en Los Estados Unidos, el test ha sido aprobado, inclusive para su utilización en el sistema de Medicare; es decir, que ha sido reconocido como un elemento que tiene un costo-beneficio. Muchos de los seguros (de nuevo, aquí en los Estados Unidos) tienen cobertura de los más importantes tests moleculares. En términos generales, si hay algún problema con una persona, por ejemplo en Los Estados Unidos (o alrededor del mundo), las asociaciones de tiroides de cada continente tienen listas donde ellos le informan a las personas, si el médico hace biopsias con test molecular. La Asociación Americana de Tiroides [American Thyroid Association] tiene esa facilidad para los pacientes aquí en Los Estados Unidos, pero sé también que otras asociaciones de tiroides alrededor del mundo también le permiten a las personas, a través del internet, buscar quién es el médico que está haciendo biopsias utilizando este test molecular. Philip James, presentador: Y actualmente, por ejemplo, en América Latina ¿también está disponible el exámen molecular? Dr. Casanova: Si, el test está disponible en América Latina. Básicamente hay países que ya lo están realizando. [Tengo] conocimiento de que en Colombia, México, Brasil, en Chile lo están realizando. También, el test, puede solicitarse para ser realizado en cualquier momento y hay compañías que ya tienen la licencia para enviar el paquete que se requiere para tomar la muestra por el patólogo que lo está realizando en cada uno de los países de Latinoamérica. Philip James, presentador: ¿Hay alguna empresa que ofrezca estos exámenes moleculares?, y si hay más de una, ¿cuáles son? Dr. Casanova: Ahorita tenemos 4 grandes grupos o compañías que están haciendo este test y cada una de ellas tiene su nivel de estudios que soportan, precisamente, este tipo de test molecular. Está la compañía Veracyte que tiene un test que se llama Afirma. El Afirma viene en dos variantes: ellos tienen lo que se llaman un GC y actualmente están haciendo un test que van a introducir (más avanzado) que se llama GSC. Está otra compañía que está basada en la Universidad de Pittsburgh, la cual, en conjunto con un grupo de patólogos que se llaman CVL (Clinical Virology Laboratory) que están radicados en Nueva York, ellos hacen la muestra [prueba] que se conoce como ThyroSeq v2. Está el grupo que se conoce como el Rosetta y, por supuesto, está también el otro grupo que hace el test molecular, y tienen dos tipos de test al mismo tiempo que se llaman ThyGeNEXT™ y ThyraMIR®. En Latinoamérica, en mi entender, el test que está siendo utilizado y que está licenciado en muchos de los países, es el que proviene del grupo Veracyte: Afirma. Hay intenciones, de todos estos grupos, de trabajar [a lo largo] de Latinoamérica y, evidentemente, al contactar directamente a esos grupos en Los Estados Unidos, el patólogo o la persona que está interesada en utilizar esos test en sus prácticas a nivel de Latinoamérica, podría hacer [algún tipo de] acuerdo con estas compañías. Philip James, presentador : Y usted ¿cuál es el exámen está usando y por qué? Dr. Casanova: Yo, en estos momentos estoy utilizando, fundamentalmente, un test de la compañía Veracyte: Afirma. Es el más avanzado, se llama Afirma GSC. La razón para utilizar éste test es, precisamente, porque en nuestra experiencia particular, la gran mayoría de los nódulos tiene un bajo riesgo de malignidad. Este test está basado en la lectura de ARN mensajero. Y para ponerle [un ejemplo], a los pacientes y a las personas que nos escuchan, sobre “qué es lo que hace cada uno de los tests (?)”, es semejante a que: “usted tiene una persona que es su hija, la hija llega con su novio, y usted al ver novio [se lleva] una primera impresión”; el nódulo viene a ser el novio. Si el nódulo se observa, y se ve como que parece que no es bueno, la pregunta que uno hace no es “si usted es un mal muchacho”, es “si usted en verdad es un buen muchacho para mi hija”. El test o los tests que, precisamente, descartan que es malignidad son tests que tratan de responder esta pregunta que es: “¿Eres tú un nódulo benigno?” Los tests como Afirma, como Rosetta, están diseñados para responder esa pregunta. Ahora, si una persona tiene un nódulo que es altamente sospechoso de cáncer, [ahí] es cuando nosotros (o mi persona) aplica tests como ThyroSeq v2, o los test, en este caso, del Thyroid Oncogene. Pero los tests moleculares basados en ADN, (que es lo que, algunas veces los cirujanos tratan de contestarse) son solamente aplicables, de manera cierta, a aquellos nódulos que son realmente sospechosos de malignidad. La información que yo tengo [sobre] este test que te estoy comentando, el Afirma GSC, (...) la he podido corroborar personalmente. Muchos de estos casos, que han sido sospechosos a través del test molecular, van a cirugía y se corrobora que la información del test es precisamente la que nos informa el análisis molecular. Pero también el test me ha dado la oportunidad de evitar cirugías en pacientes y tener el orgullo de poder haber salvado de una cirugía innecesaria a más del 50 % de los pacientes que, en un momento dado tenían estos [nódulos] indeterminados. Philip James, presentador: Esto es muy importante porque, anteriormente y hoy en día, hay muchas cirugías en las que se está extirpando la tiroides aunque no se sabe si es cáncer o no, pero el doctor dice: “Vamos a quitar su tiroides, no sabemos si es cáncer, pero…” ¿Cuántas veces no tienen cáncer?, ¿una de cada dos o cuantas? Dr. Casanova: Si, en la mayoría de estos nódulos indeterminados, sobretodo de las categorías III y IV, es posible que hasta un 60 % de los pacientes no tenga cáncer y vayan a una cirugía innecesaria. La cirugía innecesaria no solamente implica el hecho de retirar un órgano tan noble como el tiroides (que tiene una función única y es particularmente difícil, inclusive para los endocrinólogos una vez que la persona va a cirugía, manejarlo), sino que también tiene que tomar en cuenta que una persona que va a cirugía se expone a otros riesgos: el tiroides es uno de los órganos que tiene además, en la parte posterior, otras glándulas como las paratiroides que controlan el calcio; está cerca de nervios que, básicamente, comprometen la voz del paciente. Es una cirugía; dependiendo de la edad del paciente, los riesgos de cirugía pueden ser menos o más altos. De tal manera que la óptica que tienen, y de hecho ese es el propósito que tienen las asociaciones alrededor del mundo y particularmente la Asociación Americana del Tiroides, es minimizar el potencial de dañar o de sobretratar a la mayoría de los pacientes con un riesgo bajo de mortalidad y de enfermedad. Los nódulos tiroideos son, solo una mínima parte, malignos; la mayoría son benignos, pero en este caso deben tomarse las previsiones para que cuando tengamos la respuesta a través de la citología, o a través del análisis molecular, sea la adecuada para evitar cirugías innecesarias. Philip James, presentador: Si yo soy un paciente y el resultado de mi punción con aguja fina (FNA) fue “nódulo indeterminado” ¿cómo sé si mi médico está utilizando el test para nódulo indeterminado? Dr. Casanova: Bueno, básicamente porque el reporte lo indica. Cuando la persona recibe un reporte, además de la parte indeterminada, recibe una hoja adicional con la explicación del test molecular que fue seleccionado por su médico. En el caso de los test Afirma, el ThyroSeq de Rosetta o de otros tests moleculares, (en este caso) ellos informan directamente, además de la respuesta de la citopatología, le informan a la persona que un test molecular ha sido realizado. Si el test molecular no está reflejado en el reporte, es importante que la persona (dependiendo de la categoría que tiene, ya sea III o IV) tenga la opción antes de hacer cirugía de, inclusive, poder realizar de nuevo el test molecular. Lo correcto es hacer todo en un solo paso. [Se trata de] tomar la previsión de que esto puede ocurrir. A a pesar de que no ocurre en todos los pacientes (solo entre un 15 a un 30%, dependiendo del lugar del mundo donde esté, puede ser indeterminado), y si existe esa posibilidad, y la posibilidad de ese diagnóstico es potencialmente de ir a una cirugía innecesaria, es importante que antes, al momento de la biopsia, solicite a su médico: “Por favor, envíeme a un doctor que haga este test al mismo tiempo, para poder tener tranquilidad”. Philip James, presentador: Doctor Casanova, gracias. Antes de irnos, ¿hay alguna otra información que quiera compartir con las personas que están escuchando sobre este tema? Dr. Casanova: Si, yo en lo particular, recomiendo a las personas que, siempre que evalúen los nódulos tiroideos, tomen en cuenta que a pesar que es una patología que es muy frecuente en nuestra población, siguen siendo (la mayoría de ellos) benignos. Siempre vayan con la óptica de que en los diagnósticos de nódulos tiroideos existen un alto porcentaje que usted vaya a salir con una respuesta que lo va a poner contento. Pero, si se tomó la decisión (dependiendo de su historia familiar o de su historia de exposición; y de las características del nódulo; y de los exámenes que se realizan preliminarmente) de que se necesita una biopsia, prepárese para que todas las respuestas sean respondidas en una sola ocasión. Eso indica, hacer la biopsia guiada por ultrasonido, tomar y enviar la muestra a un patólogo reconocido y, además, que al mismo tiempo que le hayan tomado la muestra citopatológica, guarden la muestra molecular. En el futuro estos análisis moleculares van a cambiar totalmente la manera en que nosotros vamos a clasificar, finalmente, los nódulos. Estos análisis moleculares están avanzando a pasos agigantados. Esperamos, además, que va a ser un beneficio para clarificar el diagnóstico de los pacientes que, a futuro, también nos guíe acerca de cómo tratar, si se da la situación a las personas con cáncer, de una manera más adecuada Así que, manténganse conectados con estos podcasts, que son siempre muy interesantes, y a futuro, probablemente escucharán, más allá del capitulo 60, muchos más de estos análisis.

Fazer a Residência Médica nos Estados Unidos é uma vontade de muitos médicos brasileiros. Alguns colocam o plano em prática, e outros acabam desistindo no meio do caminho por ser uma jornada longa, exaustiva, e que exige um grande investimento financeiro. E tem gente que acaba não tentando porque desconhece o processo, não sabe nem por onde começar. Mas neste episódio do SanarCast nós vamos esclarecer as principais dúvidas sobre o processo seletivo para cursar a residência médica nos EUA. E vamos falar um pouquinho como são os programas por lá. Neste episódio nós conversamos com a Nathalia Figueiredo (@natmfig) e o Igor Oliveira (@igcaol). Ambos estão fazendo a Residência nos Estados Unidos, na cidade da Filadélfia.

Welcome, Medicare Nation! My guest today is Dr. Ralph Sacco, who is the Executive Director of the Evelyn F. McKnight Brain Institute at the University of Miami. He is also the Chief of Neurology Services at Jackson Memorial Hospital. Dr. Sacco has published extensively in the areas of stroke prevention, treatment, risk factors, human genetics, and stroke recurrence. He is the recipient of numerous awards and has lectured at national and international meetings and conferences. He was the first neurologist to serve as president of the American Heart Association and serves as the president-elect of the American Academy of Neurology. Dr. Sacco is here to give us valuable information about strokes and stroke prevention. Join us! Tell us what you do at the University of Miami. “I’ve been the Chairman of Neurology since 2007. Our department has grown and is ranked 15th in NIH funding. We are leading the way in treating various neurological diseases.” Tell our listeners what a stroke is and what the signs and symptoms are. “Stroke is a huge public health issue, especially as our population ages. About 795,000 strokes occur each year, which is one every 40 seconds! A stroke is like a heart attack in the brain. In a stroke, the brain is injured by bleeding or some other problem with blood vessels. The warning signs are often missed, but our current awareness campaign uses the acronym FAST to help people remember: F-Face-Drooping on one side A-Arm-Weakness in one arm S-Speech-Slurred speech T-Time-Call 911 immediately! Other common symptoms are numbness and tingling on one side, severe sudden headache, and difficulty walking.” Are there similarities in treating stroke and treating heart attacks? “Heart attacks usually allow a little more time for treatment than the brain does. With a stroke, you MUST get to a stroke center immediately. TIME IS BRAIN! A clotbuster drug can be used with success in blood vessel blockages up to 4.5 hours after the stroke begins.” I’ve heard that people should chew on an aspirin if they feel they are having a heart attack. Is that the same advice for a stroke? “No, some strokes—about 15%--are bleeding strokes. Aspirin can make it worse. We advise calling 911 and getting to a treatment center. We can use drugs and catheters to remove clots up to six hours after stroke onset. This improves outcomes tremendously.” What happens if signs and symptoms aren’t recognized and several hours go by? Is there irreversible brain damage? “Exactly—the longer we wait in opening that artery, the less chance we have of total recovery. Some recovery can happen between 6-18 hours, but it’s more difficult. Too many people ignore symptoms, and then it’s too late.” One side effect of stroke can be paralysis on one side. What exactly causes that? “Most symptoms occur on one side of the body since one side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body. Everyone should know FAST and know how to activate the 911 call.” Are there any foods we can eat to promote good blood vessel health? Is there a type of diet that helps? “Diet is a big factor of ideal cardiovascular health. The AHA estimates that less than 1% of people have ideal cardiovascular health. There are five key components: Fruits and Vegetables: 4.5 cups each day Fish: 2 servings each week Fiber-rich Whole Grain: 3 servings each day Lower your sodium intake: Sodium increases blood pressure, and high blood pressure is THE single leading modifiable risk factor for stroke. Most people get 3500 mg/day when the recommended limit is only 1500 mg/day! Limit sugar-sweetened beverages: This increases the risk for diabetes.” What tips can you give about stroke prevention? “Remember, what’s good for heart health is good for brain health, too. The AHA lists seven key factors, called ‘Life’s Simple Seven’: Never smoking Body Mass Index Physical activity Diet Total cholesterol less than 200 Blood pressure not higher than 120/80 Fasting blood glucose less than 100” Doctor, for our seniors—or for anyone—is walking a daily exercise that you recommend? “Walking is a great exercise. Just 75-100 minutes of walking over a week’s time can really help in the battle for ideal health.” Resources: Remember, part of Medicare benefits and preventive care includes nutrition counseling. You can talk to your primary care doctor for more information on how this service can help you.
