In this episode of Diabetes Dialogue, hosts Diana Isaacs, PharmD, an endocrine clinical pharmacist, director of Education and Training in Diabetes Technology, and codirector of Endocrine Disorders in Pregnancy at the Cleveland Clinic, and Natalie Bellini, DNP, program director of Diabetes Technology at University Hospitals Diabetes and Metabolic Care Center, are joined by Rifka Schulman-Rosenbaum, MD, director of inpatient diabetes at Long Island Jewish Medical Center and co-author of Establishing Screening Programs for Pre-symptomatic Type 1 Diabetes: Practical Guidance for Diabetes Care Providers, a new paper in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism. With Bellini as a co-author of the piece, experts explored the increasing clinical and operational momentum behind screening for pre-symptomatic type 1 diabetes (T1D) and what it takes to implement effective programs in real-world settings. The conversation centers on the rationale and logistics behind identifying individuals in stages 1 and 2 of T1D—autoimmune stages characterized by multiple islet autoantibodies before clinical onset. With the availability of teplizumab (Tzield), a disease-modifying therapy shown to delay progression to stage 3 of T1D, the importance of early detection and standardized screening protocols has become more urgent. Schulman-Rosenbaum outlined how her work on the JDRF Breakthrough T1D initiative led to the development of actionable guidance aimed at frontline diabetes care providers. She highlights barriers to implementation—such as limited provider awareness of T1D staging and screening protocols—and details her institution's ongoing efforts to educate primary care clinicians and endocrinologists, including distributing screening handouts and creating streamlined workflows using dot phrases and dedicated follow-up slots. The discussion emphasizes targeted screening for high-risk groups, such as first- and second-degree relatives of individuals with T1D and patients with autoimmune diseases like Hashimoto's or celiac. Schulman-Rosenbaum emphasized the opportunity for endocrinologists to screen these patients directly during routine care and the utility of a centralized handout to guide test ordering and family engagement. Drawing from their paper, experts outlined practical steps for launching autoantibody screening programs: nominating a program champion, forming an implementation team, and embedding screening into existing clinical systems. Experts stressed the importance of using appropriate ICD-10 codes for insurance coverage and referenced a diagnostic coding table in their publication. Schulman-Rosenbaum also addressed the widespread issue of misdiagnosis, particularly in adults mistakenly classified as having type 2 diabetes, and outlines best practices for using antibody and C-peptide testing to refine diagnosis. She detailed her hospital's approach to inpatient screening, noting an increased use of autoantibody testing and follow-up coordination for patients with suspected T1D or latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). Finally, the episode highlighted how to monitor individuals who test positive for a single antibody or exhibit mild dysglycemia, noting that many fall outside established risk categories. Experts called for more research in this area and advocate for individualized monitoring strategies based on clinical risk, family history, and emerging glucose patterns—often using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data. Relevant disclosures for Isaacs include Eli Lilly and Company, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi, Abbott Diabetes Care, Dexcom, Medtronic, and others. Relevant disclosures for Bellini include Abbott Diabetes Care, MannKind, Provention Bio, and others.

The delivery of commercial COVID-19 vaccines in less than a year is nothing short of miraculous and was made possible by Operation Warp Speed -- a historic public-private partnership initiated and coordinated by the United States government. While other medical moonshots and breakthroughs have been achieved, few have occurred with the speed and success of developing the COVID-19 vaccines. December 14, 2020 -- just seven months after announcing Operation Warp Speed -- was the first day the COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the US and those on the frontlines of health care were among the first in this historic and unprecedented mass vaccination effort to receive them. Along with her colleagues from Northwell Health's Long Island Jewish Medical Center in Queens New York, critical care nurse Sandra Lindsay unhesitatingly and voluntarily rolled up her sleeve and got her COVID-19 shot in the company of dozens of her colleagues, hospital leadership -- and cameras -- not realizing or planning she'd become the first person in the US to receive it. Within minutes, the now-iconic images and video footage of her receiving a COVID-19 jab administered by fellow nurse Michelle Chester, DNP began circulating in media outlets around the globe and along with it a high-profile opportunity to reach others, inspire them, and build their vaccine confidence.

On a special In Depth we speak with Northwell Health CEO, Michael Dowling as he refects on the last 16 months of the pandemic.  It was one of the worst periods of the pandemic at Northwell Health's 23 hospitals. Forty-nine COVID patients in early March had swelled to almost 3,500 by early April. Throughout the pandemic, Dowling set aside time every day to walk the hospital units so he could personally thank workers for their sacrifices and heroic efforts to save lives. On April 5, Dowling stopped in at the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. That's where he met Chris Summers, a physician's assistant. They spoke for a few minutes, wished each other well, and then Summers said something that shook Dowling: “He told me his mother had just died.” Dowling told Summers to take a break and take some time off, but he said Summers' response was, “No.” “He said, I'm with my team. I'm here. I'm doing my job. I have to stay. This is where I'm needed. I'm with my team.” Dowling called the experience one of the most impactful he has experienced. It has been 15 months since Dowling and Summers have seen each other, but that changed when the two were reunited during a 1010 WINS In Depth podcast. Reporter Glenn Schuck sat down with Dowling to look back at the impact of the pandemic on the state's largest private health care system. During the interview, the CEO discusses the personal impact of COVID-19 on his family, the impact on his faith, his opinion on Gov. Andrew Cuomo's handling of nursing homes, and why Northwell Health was so prepared for the crisis while so many others were not. Of the lessons of COVID-19, Dowling said, “We will all be better because we went through this. Every so often you need to get a kick in the butt to remind you of the fragility of all of us.” Northwell lost 24 staff members to COVID, and at its height, 90 patients died of the disease every day.

This is the story of the polio vaccines developed by Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin -- and then a look at the origin of the vaccine itself, first developed to combat smallpox almost 225 years ago, thanks to Edward Jenner and a cow named Blossom. ---- In 1916 New York City became the epicenter of one of America’s very first polio epidemics. The scourge of infantile paralysis infected thousands of Americans that year, most under the age of five. But in New York City it was especially bad. The Department of Health took drastic measures, barring children from going out in public and even labeling home with polio sufferers, urging others to stay away. That same year, up in the Bronx, a young couple named Daniel and Dora Salk — the children of Eastern European immigrants — were themselves raising their young son named Jonas. As an adult, Jonas Salk would spend his life combating the poliovirus in the laboratory, creating a vaccine that would change the world. In 1921 a young lawyer and politician named Franklin Delano Roosevelt would contract what was believed at the time to be polio. He would use his connections and power — first as governor of New York, then as president of the United States — to guide the nation’s response to the virus. ---- AND THEN: The second half of the show is devoted to the question — who came up the first vaccine anyway?  Once upon a time there was a country doctor with a love of birds, a milkmaid with translucent skin, an eight-year-old boy with no idea what he's in for and a wonderful cow that holds the secret to human immunity. This is the story of the first vaccine, perhaps one of the greatest inventions in modern human history. Come listen to this remarkable story of risk and bravery which led to the eradication of one of the deadliest diseases in human history. And hear the words of Dr. Edward Jenner himself, written in the first weeks of his experiments! boweryboyshistory.com Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/boweryboys See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Should you get the COVID-19 Vaccine? I've been off the air for a while—personally recovering from COIVD-19—and with Pfizer shipping vaccines to a provider near you today, kicking off the largest vaccination rollout in U.S. history, I talked with Dr. Nicole Saphier about the question on the year: should you get the shots? Author of the new book Make America Healthy Again, Fox News guest anchor and board-certified radiologist at Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Nicole has unique perspectives about who should get the vaccine, why she will not, why her husband (also a doctor) will, and what about their children. Before you (U.S. listeners) head to your local CVS, Walmart or Walgreens, you should know Pfizer and Modernaare two shot deliver systems and require the second injection two or three weeks after the first. According to Pfizer research, the immunity skyrockets after that second injection to about 95% effective. Nicole states that there will likely be a limited supply of coronavirus vaccines at first, so "determining who has already had COVID-19 is crucial.” According to the recent studies, antibodies for people who have been exposed to the virus, like me, would likely be present for about four to five months, at least. And with limited vaccine supply, we want to make sure that we are vaccinating the vulnerable, those who have no level of immunity to this virus and who are most at risk for being hospitalized or dying, starting with caregivers, health care workers and other people deemed as "essential" employees. Luckily, children are less vulnerable to coronavirus's effects, but they can still be infected. According to Nicole, kids can also transmit the virus, but children have not been included in the clinical trials that are being put forth right now. Therefore, Nicole recommends children not to take the vaccine now–but rather get the flu shot to help keep people and children out of hospital. Older adults and patients with underlying health conditions should get first dibs on a new vaccine because, for them, getting sick is more likely to be serious or fatal. She also adds that frontline health care workers, nursing home residents and high contact essential workers will get the first doses, like Long Island Jewish Medical Center nurse Sandra Lindsay, who said “I feel hopeful today. Relieved,” after she was the first one to receive a shot in America. "I would encourage as many people as possible to get the vaccine, especially if you are over the age of 55. If you are over 55 and have comorbidities and obesity, you should absolutely get the vaccine," says Nicole. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rebootchronicles/message

There were certainly some undeniable trending moments that occurred to let ya'll know for this week's show!  It looks like rappers, Too Short and E-40 will face off in the last ‘Verzuz’ of 2020. Fans were disappointed this weekend when Ashanti and Keyshia Cole’s battle was canceled due to Ashanti contracting COVID-19. She later got on IG Live with Cole to discuss the cancellation. Verzuz then officially announced that the R&B legends would face-to-face on Jan. 9. The final Verzuz of the year will go down on Saturday, December 19, at 5PM PT / 8PM ET. In related news, the Game is yet to step into the Verzuz arena... and now he says the only rapper he would be prepared to battle would be his former label boss and rival, 50 Cent. That would be interesting! K. Michelle says she is preparing to sue Maino next month for statements he made about her a while back. Maino claimed that K. Michelle's feminine parts were smelly -- but K. Michelle says it's a lie. She says he has no basis for his remarks. They never even slept together and "he could get this lawsuit." This looks like it may get ugly, lol! Youtuber Jake Paul is offering retired fighter Conor McGregor a massive $50 million to step into the ring with him. Jake went on to call Dana White, the President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship a "f*cking p*ssy" for saying the fight will never happen. "Conor, you're scared. Dana, you're scared. Sign the f*cking contract you idiots... Irish b*tch." Wow! JAY-Z’s Roc Nation and Random House are teaming up to launch a literary publishing partnership titled Roc Lit 101. The company’s first wave of releases are expected to arrive in the summer of 2021, as readers can expect Roc Lit 101 to deeply explore an array of subjects with a unique lens including in the areas of “music, sports, pop culture, activism and art.” One World books editor-in-chief Chris Jackson, who published JAYZ’s Decoded book in 2010, will oversee the Roc Lit 101 imprint’s operation. Rapper, 2 Chainz launches "Money Maker Fund" Youtube series and awards $55K to Black entrepreneurs. The Money Maker Fund consists of five episodes airing from Monday (December 14) through Friday (December 18), and features HBCU students and alumni pitching their business ideas to 2 Chainz, who put $55,000 into the best ones. This is definitely a great initiative! Giannis Antetokounmpo was already rich as hell but now he’s SUPER f***ing rich. The Milwaukee Bucks big man just signed a historic new contract according to ESPN with the biggest contract in NBA history for 5-years at $228 million! If you’re keeping score at home that means Giannis is clockin’ a tick under $46 million per season. Must be nice. Just nine months after the United States became a part of the global coronavirus pandemic, health workers across the nation have begun administering a vaccine to halt the spread of COVID-19. This morning, critical care nurse Sandra Lindsay became the first Black woman/person in the U.S. to receive the vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech when she was injected at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New York.

Session 33 A lot medical students go through the process end up at a time where they have to submit their rank list and they have no clue what they want to do. And this is a lot of unneeded stress. In this podcast, I talk to a specialist that you can't get hold of so you can understand what is out there for you. Today's guest is Dr. Lauren Strauss, an academic Pediatric Neurologist who specializes in headaches. She is a DO at a large academic medical center for an allopathic residency program. She is currently the Residency Program Director at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center for Pediatric Neurology. Listen to her thoughts on the field and what you should be looking into. Also check out our other podcasts at MedEd Media. [01:50] Interest in Pediatric Neurology Lauren has an interesting background having started in engineering. She did her major at UPenn in bio-engineering. She has always loved science and math. Her grandfather being an engineer and not having any doctors in the family, Lauren decided to do engineering. She thought bio-engineering would be offering her a big variety. What she found she loved the most was being able to do projects that brought them over to the hospital and allowed them to interact with clinicians. When she decided to do her senior engineering project, she ended up in the Neurology lab where they did research related to vertigo. At that time, she didn't know she wanted Neurology but she knew she liked other things outside of engineering. After graduating in engineering, she decided to take a year off while looking into medicine as an option. She worked at a pediatric practice for her pediatrician. She worked there for a summer which later turned into a whole year. Then she realized she wanted to go to medical school to be a pediatrician. It was during their pediatric subspecialty month that she could rotate through a lot of different specialties and neurology was one of them. It still didn't hit her at that point that it was what she was going to. When she picked a full month in a pediatric specialty, some subspecialties she signed up for were already filled except for pediatric neurology. She did the rotation anyway. "It was the perfect opportunity mixed with meeting the right people at the right time." Then she decided to apply to Pediatric Neurology. Lauren describes it as a hard decision to do.  Nowadays, most programs are categorical where you do your pediatrics and neuro in the same location. But at that time, there were still some where you could train at two separate places. Hence, it was a difficult process. When she talked to her medical school at New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, they never had anyone else who had done Pediatric Neurology. She is very happy she did take the plunge though. Where she ended up doing her training was pediatrics at a larger children's hospital at Long Island Jewish Medical Center. Then she did her child neuro training at Boston Children's Hospital. She then found out that a lot of people will pick an interest within Neurology and academics and go on and subspecialize with fellowship. She initially considered epilepsy since majority of the practice in pediatric neurology is developmental delay epilepsy and headache. Since she had an engineering background, she felt it was best for her to go into epilepsy. The reading of EEG's relies on physics. She soon discovered her love for patient interaction and taking a history from a patient and solving a puzzle. But she didn't love reading an EEG as much and sitting by herself. [06:18] Becoming a Pediatric Headache Specialist Lauren says a lot of people don't know you can subspecialize in headache. As a new emerging specialty, Headache Medicine is part of a UCNS (United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties) fellowship. A lot of people going into the field are adult headache specialists being the paved route. It's much easier from the adult side. "Headache is a new emerging specialty." Lauren notices that headaches in kids can be as young as age two but majority of them are in the pre-teen or teenager years. She loves the challenge of convincing the patient to give her that history. She also loves the overlap with some of the social dynamics and healthy living. She loves how to coach them back towards a better life. She also likes the fact that a lot of headache patients tend to get better if you have the right tools in place. She finds this very satisfying. So when she looked into Headache Medicine, she explored her other options including a pediatric pain fellowship as well as an adult pain fellowship. She likes procedures but realized she didn't like it to the extent that majority of her practice was going to be procedures. So she ultimately settled in doing a headache fellowship. She ended up doing an adult headache fellowship at the Brigham and Women's Hospital, one of the first headache centers established in the country. Their adult headache fellows were very interested that she was doing her child neurology training locally. So they got interested in collaborating with and training a future pediatric headache specialist. Lauren is actually one of the pioneers of the said field. She knew that when she graduated fellowship, she wanted to have all of the necessary tools. If she left the programs in Boston, then she would want to be at a center where there is no other pediatric headache specialist. She is currently at Wake Forest being one of the few fellowship-trained pediatric headache specialists in a several-state-region. Moreover, she is heavily involved, not only in patient interaction, but also in education and community efforts. She is streamlining protocols for the emergency room and educational materials for patients. It's very common but there is also a lot of need in headache since not everyone has gone onto this subspecialty level. [09:07] Traits that Make a Good Pediatric Headache Specialist Lauren illustrates that anyone interested in going to pediatrics has to be a little bit more patient and creative. "You have to be able to adapt to new situations." When you're examining children or taking a history from a child or family, you have to be willing to go out of order. The child might not let you examine at the beginning of the visit until the end of the visit. So you have to be able to charm people. You have to use your communication skills to warm up the child or the parents to what you're trying to ask and what the plan is going to be. In headache, those skills are taken into the extremes. The patients and their families are dealing with a situation where their child is very much in pain. They don't initially know other families are dealing with the same condition. So it can be very isolating and very anxiety-producing. It can be a huge struggle. Moreover, a lot of these patients can be very disabled by their condition. They can look like other children but they're dealing with special issues. They could miss school and have many other challenges. As a specialist, they have to be able to coach them and be firm at times on helping them get back. Hence, communication is very helpful. Lauren adds that you want to be a little bit of a problem-solver. You may want to ask a few more questions to make sure it's migraine and not something else. You have to be able to understand the exam and how that fits into the history. [11:15] Patient Types and Procedures In general neurology, they see all ages up to eighteen in pediatric neurology. In the outpatient setting, they will usually do evaluation for young children who are delayed in walking or talking. They try to understand if it's something they're going to catch up on. Or is it something related to a genetic condition or a metabolic condition? You need to assess if you need to do another workup. How do you help them get the right services they need so they can catch up on their milestones. Additionally, they see first time seizure patients or refractory seizure patients. They try to see how they can help diagnose the right epilepsy condition. They have a lot of patients that get better. They can make a diagnosis of a seizure disorder that they know by the time they're teenager, it may go away or in a few years. So they have to make not only a diagnosis but also be able know whether it fits into an epilepsy syndrome. This way you can help the family understand what the true prognosis is. So epilepsy is a big bulk as well as headache. Since her passion is headache, most of her outpatient practice over time has become headache. Headache patients come in various types. You can see someone with their first headache that may be had some interesting features to it. They can have a visual aura. Children, just like adults, can have very interesting aura symptoms for their migraines. They can see a cracked glass, speckled colors, sparkles, shooting stars and a whole gamut of things. And this can be very scary for the first time it happens. Part of Lauren's expertise is sorting out how consistent it is with migraine or if there's any workup needed. She also sees patients with repeated headaches or those that never go away everyday. Some of the typical medicines they would use over the counter won't seem to stop it. So it's also part of her practice to sort out which medicines they can use to help the patient. Or if there are certain things in your lifestyle that contribute to this such as overuse of caffeine found in local soda or sweet tea. "People don't even realize that they have a young child who's exposed to a lot of caffeine." They also focus on avoiding skipped meals, hydration, exercise, and addressing other concerns like bullying or other things going on at a school setting. Moreover, Lauren is also trained in procedures to help manage pain. They can do  a nerve block. The patient takes a numbing medicine and the specialist injects on the scalp to numb it and give it temporary or long-lasting pain relief. They also do Botox which is a muscle paralyzer which you can use in managing chronic migraine. You inject in 31 places on the scalp and the neck. It affects the nerves locally to prevent them from spreading neuropeptides and inflammatory markers to perpetuate pain. Lauren explains there are a lot of interesting ways to treat headache including coaching and procedure. This keeps her practice very interesting. [15:10] Choosing Academics versus Private Practice Lauren initially thought really long and hard about what she wanted her career to look like. She thought private practice was very attractive because you have more control over your schedule. You might see consistent types of patient population You might have more consistent hours. The reason she ultimately chose academics is she wanted a job where it could grow with her as her interests change. As a young faculty, she knows she loves education but she doesn't really know if that's her path. If she went into private practice, she thinks she would have missed a lot of things - being with the residents and medical students and seeing the collaboration and the discussing of interesting patients. Since she has been at Wake Forest, she started up a Headache Case Conference. They host it once a month where they get together and talk about their most fascinating headache patients. Because of this, they can get back up on patients they need more guidance on as well as be able to hear from other providers. She loves this kind of collaboration and learning all the time. Lauren is glad she chose academics. She has gotten so passionate about education that she is now the Residency Director for their Pediatric Neurology Program. She now helps design curriculum and make sure block schedules look nice. She looks into ways to improve the education for their residents at all stages. "I love education. I can't imagine, now in this role, going back into private practice." Another thing she likes about academics is that it allows you to be part of both the inpatient and outpatient sides of it. She loves being in clinic and it's the majority of what she does in headache managements. But she also loves being occasionally on inpatient service. You see so many different things there that by the time you see them on clinic, they've already been stabilized and they no longer have ongoing concerns. Academic allows you to be varied and depending on where you get hired, you can have all different types of job descriptions. [18:00] Work/Life Balance Lauren stresses this is something very important to look at when choosing a field not only for women, but for anyone when choosing their career. You never know what your home life is going to look like when you're making these big decisions. "Having flexibility or knowing what kind of support you have from your family is helpful." Lauren knew she was going to likely possibly leave the area where her family lived. She would be in an area without initial extended support and friends. She wanted to be in a place where she didn't have to work nights and weekends all the time. Lauren loves the balance in pediatric neurology. She generally works Mondays through Fridays and works one weekend every six weeks. She's not in-house for those calls and works from 9-11 doing patient rounds and then she goes home. She also answers pages from home on the weekends she's on. For Lauren, it's manageable because it ends up being an 8-5 job with lunch breaks. Then she can also squeeze the meetings. But in general, her practice is very manageable for having a family. [19:35] Residency Path and Fellowship Training Lauren explains that a lot of programs have moved towards combining your match into being able to apply once into both pediatrics and child neurology at the same hospital. At Wake Forest, you come for a two-day interview. You will be interviewed by the pediatrics group and then by the child neurology group. But when they make a decision and you get your match result, it's at one program. Lauren did her training at two separate places. It does have its benefits like being able to know all these different hospital systems. But she reckons it's nice to spend all five years (two in pediatrics and three in child neurology) in one place. It allows you to build connections much easier and you spend less time worrying about computer systems. Then you can focus more time on learning as you transition from pediatrics to child neurology. What's different in their field is you spend two years purely in pediatrics. Then when you transition over to child neurology, you will spend a bulk of that first year in adult neurology training. You're treated just like another adult neurology resident. Lauren describes this as a hard transition to go from general pediatrics to dealing with adult patients who may have internal medicine problems. Some of those conditions may have overlaps in pediatrics in ways. Moreover, programs approach problems differently. At their program, their pediatric neurology residents don't do in-house call on the adult neuro side. "You have to be careful when you choose programs that it's a match for your personality and what you're hoping to go into for your career." How competitive Pediatric Neurology is depends on where you want to practice. Some of the top five programs tend to be larger programs but they're biggest hits in the major cities. So several of those programs can be very competitive if you had your heart set on one of those programs. But in general, pediatric neurology every year will have a few spots that are unmatched across the country. Relative to some other specialty fields, Pediatric Neurology is less competitive. Compared to adult neurology, it's also less competitive. The fellowship training is a one-year program. There are programs that offer a two-year program depending on what your research interests are. But usually, it's a one-year clinical fellowship. Then you may add on a second year if you have plans to complete a certain type of research project by the end. [22:50] DOs, Primary Care, and Other Specialties As a DO, Lauren was very worried in some of the programs she was interviewed at being it could be something that was mentioned or asked about. At the program she settled at Boston Children's Hospital, she was worried about it being a Harvard-based program. She was afraid being an osteopath would be seen negatively. But it was a positive to them as their prior residents and chief residents have also been DO's. You would be sometimes be worried that it's going to be a problem in a program. But there are programs that you're unexpectedly amazed that they see that as a strength. She interviewed at a place in New York and she was asked why she didn't go to a real medical school. She thought it was a joke until she realized it was actually happening in real-time. "Your job is to seek out opportunities and use your skill set and your background to keep seeking out additional opportunities." Everyone will have things in their CV that they're very proud about or other people are going to question. If someone says something negative, Lauren says you just have to rise above and say you're proud of where you come from. Explain to them why they should be excited about what you've done in the past. Other than that on interview though, she has never experienced any negativity towards being a DO. She finds this as a huge strength in her clinical practice because she practices an OMM (Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine) or OMT (Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment). She tends to use it on the head and neck in some of her headache patients. And they really appreciate the hands-on approach. Lauren admits she's blessed and happy she chose the training she did. It has opened some doors that would have been opened for someone else. "You have to kill everything with possibility and realize to make decisions which are best for you." Working with primary care, Lauren says it's helpful that as you're going through training, seek out as many opportunities that might be out of your comfort zone. She recommends gaining as much information as you can during rotations. You never know when that knowledge is going to come back into play and be helpful for that one particular patient. She thinks that if you decide to  only do pediatrics, you may have opportunities where you're able to interact with a neurology patient during training. Lauren recommends taking the opportunity to do neurology month or take things you may not always deal with. You never know when you have that one patient in your practice and you feel very uncomfortable with. Moreover, Lauren says it would be helpful to say why you're worried and what you've already discussed to the patient. Other specialties she works the closest with include general pediatrics, neurosurgery, and neuroradiology. [28:33] What She Wished She Knew And What She Likes Best and Least Going into pediatric neurology and headache, what she wished she knew that she knows now is that they have a great work-life balance but their pay is less compared to other pediatric subspecialties or adult colleagues. Nevertheless, she is very happy with her work-life balance and her salary but she just didn't realize this was something in play. She thought that if you treated the same complicated type of cases that you'd be compensated the same. Lauren points out how resources account for this. You're very lucky in academics if you're at a children's hospital that is layered with different administrative support and fund raises. Lauren's favorite thing is when patients get better. She loves it when a patient comes back and they're doing really well. You can't cure everyone but she says it's very rewarding when you hear that someone's life was upside-down and now they're back on course. On the flip side, what she likes the least is the frustration of trying to help your patients but they can't see a path out. They're not willing to improve their lifestyle like cut caffeine or sleep better. If she had to do it all over again, Lauren says couldn't imagine what else that other career would be or what else would she be so excited about. She simply loves her job.There are times that anyone and any job can feel that have a frustrating day or interaction with someone. But in the end, she finds what she does as really fascinating and the opportunities are very rewarding. She says you don't get to have that kind of rewarding and intense job as much. But she would choose the same specialty all over again. "I get to do something really cool everyday and I get to be a part of someone else's life." [34:30] Lauren's Final Words of Wisdom No matter field you're looking at, Lauren says it's always about reaching out to areas you're thinking about and finding out what opportunities are available. It could be spending time with someone in clinics or in the operating room. It could be spending time on the inpatient side or in a research project. "Don't be afraid to reach out to people especially when you're in a training environment." Especially in academics, Lauren says everyone is excited when they have someone reaching out to them. When you see someone young and enthusiastic and looking at what you're doing, it can be contagious. So it's very important to be involved in that process and don't be afraid to reach out. Introduce yourself or maybe attach your resume so they can also understand your background. Be honest to say you don't know if neurology is for you. Then ask if you could schedule a time to be able to spend time with them in the clinic just to see how you're going to love that experience. [36:30] Breaking the DO/MD Stigma It seems that the DO and MD stigma is going away. Lauren is a DO at a large academic medical center for an allopathic residency program. Hopefully, you understand that being a DO is not holding you back. If you're listening to this as a DO student, there are some self-limiting beliefs that you don't actually need. If you are in the Wake Forest area and that triad of medical hospitals and universities looking at pediatric neurology, go reach out. See if there's an opportunity to shadow her or somebody else in the program in that department. [37:31] Compare and Contrast Two weeks ago, we did adult headache medicine and this week we did pediatric headache medicine. Now you're seeing some differences if you're thinking about headache and you're thinking about adults versus kids. Listen to these two episodes. Compare and contrast.

Maya Shetreat-Klein, MDwith Kelly Brogan, MDAccording to governmental statistics, 12% of children 3-17 are neurodevelopmentally impaired. Genetics cannot explain skyrocketing rates of ADHD, sensory processing problems, and autism spectrum disorders. Child behavioral health cannot be viewed as a head-up phenomenon any longer. It requires the intuition, cutting-edge investigative science, and a systems-based approach that looks at the whole child in their environment. Seeing children’s bodies as messengers sounding the alarm about what is out of balance, this is what a holistic pediatric practitioner is adept at. Maya Shetreat-Klein is pioneering a gentler, more effective approach toward pediatric neurology. She stands in very sparse company at the top of a new paradigm in children’s health.Should we be medicating child behavioral problems?What is driving the epidemic of chronic pediatric illness?What should kids be eating for brain and body wellness?What are the top three supplements for supporting brain health in children?What are the most important diagnostics for vague psychiatric and behavioral problems?Maya Shetreat-Klein is a board-certified pediatric neurologist offering an integrative approach to neurological, behavioral and cognitive problems for those who believe that children can regain health without using medication as the first option. Her treatments consist mainly of using nutrition as well as supplements, herbals and mind-body, supported by medical evidence. Maya is board-certified in Adult and Pediatric Neurology as well as in Pediatrics. She teaches integrative neurology as faculty at New York Medical College and UMDNJ, and lectures widely. She completed residency training for Pediatrics at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, and then her Adult and Child Neurology fellowship at Montefiore Medical Center. Maya received her medical degree from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where she was awarded the Edward Padow Award for Excellence in Pediatrics and graduated with a Special Distinction in Research in Child Neurology for her work in Autism. She graduated from Columbia College in New York City with a B.A. in English literature.

Professor John Gribben from Barts and The London Trust Cancer Centre, UK, is joined by Professor Peter Hillman from St James’s University Hospital, Leeds, UK, and Professor Kanti Rai from Long Island Jewish Medical Center, New York, USA, at ASH 2012 to talk to ecancer.TV about the exciting times being witnessed in CLL and the new data presented at the meeting. Professor Rai points to the “astounding” advances that have been made in CLL over the past 4-5 years based on improved understanding of the molecular biology of the disease, eg, the B-cell receptor and signalling pathways, that have led to the development of the PTK inhibitors and the PI3 kinase inhibitors. These new drug groups have given previously refractory patients new hope although Professor Rai comments on the caution still required concerning durability of response with ibrutinib and GS1101 as single versus combination agents. He also comments on the chemo-free approach to treatment and when this might be an appropriate therapeutic option. Professor Hillman notes the impressive and sustained response rates seen with some of these newer agents, and comments on the hope of cure of CLL in the future. Professor Hillman also notes the promise for the combined use of monoclonal antibodies with newer agents. The experts discuss the importance of educating patients on the expected response to newer agents, eg, on speed of response and lymphocytosis, and note from new data presented at ASH 2012 that many questions remain on the mechanism of action of newer agents. They also comment on promising new data being presented with Bcl-2 inhibitors and the challenge of getting all the new agents into logical clinical trial development programmes to speed effective agents to market as safely and rapidly as possible. Finally, the experts discuss the importance of the variety of patients being treated in clinical trials, eg, elderly, younger fitter patients and previously refractory patients.
