Guest: Basil Clyman, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Over the years, many studies have examined the ‘difficult' patient encounter. Consistently, these studies indicate that physicians deem nearly 1 in 6 outpatient appointments to be an arduous visit. These challenging episodes are often time-consuming and may also lead to adverse outcomes. Though it is unfair to look at all difficult visits in the same light, there are trends to suggest certain patients and certain physicians are more likely to be involved. What are these trends, and how might this knowledge allow us to better navigate these situations? Dr. Basil Clyman, clinical professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, and staff physician at the VA Healthcare Center in West Los Angeles, visits with host Dr. Jennifer Shu to share his insights on turning a difficult encounter into a positive doctor-patient experience.
Guest: Rahul Parikh, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Physicians often collaborate with other doctors when caring for patients with various medical problems. Yet disagreements with our colleagues may occur more frequently than we would like to admit, and there can be consequences to these disagreements among physicians. How can we best deal with these differences in medical opinion, while keeping in mind our common goal of providing the best care possible for our patients? Host Dr. Jennifer Shu covers this question and a range of related issues with Dr. Rahul Parikh, a pediatrician at Kaiser Permanente in Walnut Creek, California, and a regular contributor to the Vital Signs medical column on Salon.com. Dr. Parikh recently wrote an article for the Los Angeles Times on disagreements between doctors: Does a patient's input often play a role in generating or exacerbating a disagreement? Do we tend to gravitate away from others with whom we have a difference of philosophy or medical opinion?
Guest: Ira Chasnoff, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Over the past few decades, there has been grave concern that prenatal exposure to cocaine would result in a population of children with physical, mental and emotional problems. Many of these infants have been carefully studied as they progress toward adolescence and beyond, and data suggests the impact on their development may not be as dramatic as we once thought. Dr. Ira Chasnoff, professor of clinical pediatrics at the University of Illinois College of Medicine and president of the Children's Research Triangle in Chicago, joins host Dr. Jennifer Shu to explore the shift in our thinking about the long-term effects of prenatal exposure to cocaine.
Guest: Douglas Nordli, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP The ketogenic diet has been used as a therapy for refractory epilepsy in children since the 1920's. It was only recently, however, that a randomized, controlled study confirmed it to be effective in reducing seizures. Is there a role for the ketogenic diet as first-line therapy for epilepsy? Which patients stand to benefit the most from this diet, and what are some of its potential adverse effects? Dr. Douglas Nordli, associate professor of neurology and pediatrics at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine, and the Lorna S. and James P. Langdon Chair of Pediatric Epilepsy, offers details on this trial and explores mechanisms through which we may generate more timely results in our research for patients with epilepsy. Dr. Jennifer Shu hosts.
Guest: Matthew B. Stern, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Medication and physical therapy have been mainstay treatments for controlling neurologic symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease. One strategy for mitigating the characteristic tremors, rigidity and slow movement has focused on deep brain stimulation (DBS). What are the risks and benefits of this surgical intervention, when is it indicated, and how does it compare with medical treatment for Parkinson's? Host Dr. Jennifer Shu welcomes Dr. Matthew Stern, the Parker Family Professor of Neurology and director of the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, to explore DBS and its indication for your patients with Parkinson's disease. Dr. Stern also offers his view on the question of whether DBS could eventually be considered for treatment much earlier in the disease's progression, or potentially as a first-line therapy for patients with Parkinson's.
Guest: Caroline Hall, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a well-known cause of hospitalization in infants, but new research suggests the burden of illness may be more substantial than previously recognized in healthy, older children as well. Investigators estimate over two million children under the age of five require medical treatment for RSV each year. Because it can be difficult to prevent and treat RSV infections, is there a role for a vaccine against the illness? Host Dr. Jennifer Shu welcomes Dr. Caroline Hall, professor of pediatrics and medicine at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, to explore these questions. Dr. Hall also explains how the characteristics of the virus and its mechanisms of transmission contribute to its proliferation.
Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Guest: Norman Rosenthal, MD The condition we now know as seasonal affective disorder (SAD) was first recognized in the early 1980s, when some patients were noted to have symptoms of depression only during the winter months. How does seasonal depression differ from other conditions such as major depression or bipolar disorder? Dr. Norman Rosenthal, a former senior researcher in psychiatry and psychobiology at the National Institute of Mental Health and one of the world's foremost experts on SAD, details the clinical profile of this disorder and describes light therapy and other potential treatments with host Dr. Jennifer Shu. Because there are some similarities between SAD and full depression, is it possible that light therapies or other SAD treatments would be effective for patients with year-round symptoms or bipolar disorder?
Guest: Sten Vermund, MD, PhD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Past research tells us that many young lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender patients are at higher risk for health problems, such as depression, substance abuse, and sexually transmitted diseases. We're also learning that the response of the young person's family can trigger or worsen these conditions. Dr. Sten Vermund, professor of pediatrics, medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, and preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, joins host Dr. Jennifer Shu to explore how physicians can work with families and patients to create a healthy dynamic as patients begin to express their sexual orientation and gender identity.
Guest: Mary Catherine Beach, MD, MPH Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Many of us may share personal or professional experiences with patients, often times in an effort to strengthen our relationship with them. Unfortunately, these actions may not always produce the intended positive effects on the relationship. Further, you may be surprised to know that the effects may differ based on our specialty fields. Dr. Mary Catherine Beach, associate professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, has extensively studied these physician self-disclosures. She talks with host Dr. Jennifer Shu about situations in which the self-disclosures may become ‘too much information.' In a patient visit where you believe you've shared too much, how can you get back on track? What about involuntary self-disclosures, where patients may learn of information about you on the Internet or in the everyday chatter of a small town or community?
Guest: Cliff O'Callahan, MD, PhD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP As physicians, we are often asked to give our time and money to charitable medical organizations. With so many groups working on health issues across the world, how can we best decide where to focus our energy and our donations? Is it more important to focus on how much we give, what we give, or how we give? Dr. Cliff O’Callahan, pediatrician and chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Section on International Child Health, details a series of items we should consider when we make our contributions to charity with host Dr. Jennifer Shu.
Guest: James C. Turner, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Most of us have fond memories of our college years. As we now see in our families and in our practices, and perhaps retrospectively in ourselves, the behavior of college students is often influenced by what is perceived to be normal among their peers. Looking more specifically at social norms research, college students tend to overestimate negative behavior, while underestimating positive behavior, relating to a range of health issues, from smoking and binge drinking to risky sexual practices and wearing seat belts. Dr. James Turner, president-elect of the American College Health Association, and executive director of the National Social Norms Institute, explains how social norms campaigns can highlight differences between the perceptions and realities that influence young people, to improve their actions and ultimately their health. Dr. Jennifer Shu hosts.
Guest: Bruce Slaughenhoupt, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Once considered to be a problem of adulthood, kidney stones are being more regularly documented in children as young as age five. What factors are responsible for the increasing prevalence of this condition, and what can we do to reverse this emerging pattern of childhood kidney stones? Dr. Bruce Slaughenhoupt, assistant professor of urology and co-director of the pediatric kidney stone clinic at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine, evaluates the clinical implications of this trend with host Dr. Jennifer Shu.
Guest: H. Gilbert Welch, MD, MPH Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Preventive medicine in primary care has traditionally focused on health promotion and disease prevention. Due to advances in technology, a typical well visit may now include a series of tests to detect early disease. How is this shift toward preventive medicine affecting patient care, survival outcomes and health care costs? And how can physicians decide when is the optimal time to screen for cancer and other conditions? Dr. H. Gilbert Welch, professor of medicine and community and family medicine at Dartmouth Medical School, and author of Should I Be Tested for Cancer? Maybe Not, and Here’s Why, joins host Dr. Jennifer Shu to examine the realities behind our growing expectations of preventive care.
Guest: H. Gilbert Welch, MD, MPH Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Physicians need to be knowledgeable about both the potential benefits and possible harms of early screening and detection. What should we do when a healthy patient comes to our office requesting a full-body CT scan, genetic testing for cancer markers, or other screening measures that may not be suitable for their condition? How can we put health risks into perspective and give our patients basic information about the overdiagnosis and unnecessary treatment that may follow screening? For an interesting discussion about these questions and much more, host Dr. Jennifer Shu welcomes Dr. H. Gilbert Welch, professor of medicine and community and family medicine at Dartmouth Medical School, and author of Should I Be Tested for Cancer? Maybe Not, and Here's Why.
Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Guest: Jill Grimes, MD Primary care physicians have an active role in the care of diabetes, from optimizing medical treatment and coordinating care with specialists, to providing basic guidance on nutrition. Why should nutrition be a high priority for this chronic disease, and how can we counsel our patients with diabetes on the importance of nutrition? Dr. Jill Grimes, a practicing board-certified family physician in Austin, Texas, and an associate editor for the 5-Minute Clinical Consult textbook, shares tips on the best ways to get an accurate nutrition history from our patients and on the optimal time to refer them to a registered dietitian. Dr. Jennifer Shu hosts.
Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Guest: Andrew Muir, MD Type 1 diabetes has long been considered a disease of childhood and adolescence. However, current research suggests that infant nutrition, in addition to genetics and other factors early in life, can significantly impact a child's risk for developing the condition later in life. How can we identify children at risk for Type 1 diabetes, and what can we do to prevent or intervene with the disease process? Dr. Andrew Muir, professor of pediatrics and chief of pediatric endocrinology at Emory University School of Medicine, speaks with host Dr. Jennifer Shu about early predictors of Type 1 diabetes.
Guest: Jay Berkelhamer, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP The medical community provides a vital public health service when we vaccinate our patients. However, this practice is often a money-losing proposition for us, as evidenced by the many primary care physicians who are discontinuing immunizations in their practice. What can physicians, vaccine manufacturers and insurers do to improve the current vaccine financing and delivery system? Dr. Jay Berkelhamer, senior vice president and chief academic officer at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and past president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, joins host Dr. Jennifer Shu to explores a series of ways through which organizations and workers throughout the healthcare community can do their part to improve our system for financing vaccines.
Guest: Young-Shin Kim, MD, PhD, MPH, MS Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Roughly one-third of children in the United States are involved in bullying, either as the bully, as the victim, or on both sides of the confrontation. What interventions can be taken that recognize patterns which lead to this all-too-common part of childhood, and that also work to prevent and combat its occurrence? Further, what can physicians do to help families and their children who are affected by bullying? Dr. Young-Shin Kim, assistant professor of child and adolescent psychiatry at the Yale University School of Medicine, talks with host Dr. Jennifer Shu about gender differences in bullying, risk factors for being targeted by bullies, and more generally, how we can approach an open and honest discussion of this topic with our young patients and their families.
Guest: E. Steve Roach, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Stroke has been increasingly recognized among children in recent years. Stroke in neonates, in particular, occurs at a much higher rate than in older children. What are the leading risk factors for neonatal stroke? How does it present and how is it diagnosed? Host Dr. Jennifer Shu learns more about the evidence for managing stroke in newborns, as well as the likely short-term and long-term outcomes, from Dr. E. Steve Roach, professor of pediatrics and neurology at the Ohio State University College of Medicine, and chief of the division of child neurology at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
Guest: Lori Feldman-Winter, MD, MPH Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Despite ambitious recommendations that new mothers breastfeed their infants for at least one year after birth, very few mothers meet this objective. Knowing there are barriers to breastfeeding--social, economic, and beyond--how can we help mothers get past these difficulties, where possible? Further, how can we allay the guilt many mothers feel when they're unable to breastfeed? For answers, host Dr. Jennifer Shu talks with Dr. Lori Feldman-Winter, associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, division head of adolescent medicine at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, N.J., and an Executive Committee member of the American Academy of Pediatrics section on breastfeeding.
Guest: Lori Feldman-Winter, MD, MPH Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Mothers in the United States have the lowest rates of breastfeeding in the developed world. What are the immediate and lasting benefits of breastfeeding for infants and their nursing mothers? How does breast milk compare to formula, in terms of the baby's nutrition and long-term growth development? Host Dr. Jennifer Shu welcomes Dr. Lori Feldman-Winter, associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, division head of adolescent medicine at Cooper University Hospital in Camden, New Jersey, and an executive committee member of the American Academy of Pediatrics section on breastfeeding.
