CardioNerds (Drs. Dr. Natalie Marrero, Dr. Ritika Tuli, and Dr. Rafael Toro Manotas) discuss multimodality imaging for risk stratification, evaluation, and management of chronic coronary artery disease with Dr. Panithaya Chareonthaitawee. Audio editing by CardioNerds intern Iman Razeghian. This episode was produced as part of the CardioNerds Academy curriculum by House Taussig under the guidance of House Chief, Dr. Natalie Marrero and Academy Program Director, Dr. Gurleen Kaur. A matching review article will be published in US Cardiology Review, the official journal of CardioNerds. This discussion was planned in collaboration with the Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Board Review Course. In this episode, we discuss the pathophysiology and risk stratification of chronic coronary artery disease (CAD), as well as the current landscape of non-invasive evaluation of this condition. CAD remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality despite advances in pharmacological and non-pharmacological strategies for the prevention and treatment of atherosclerotic disease. The concept of chronic CAD has shifted from the traditional model of stable, obstructive, flow-limiting disease, toward the current understanding of a dynamic process that extends beyond obstructive epicardial lesions to include non-obstructive plaque, diffuse atherosclerosis, and microvascular disease. Similarly, the imaging modalities used to evaluate CAD have evolved, and clinicians now have an extensive menu of options, each with distinct advantages and limitations, that must be selected carefully to maximize diagnostic accuracy and optimize treatment guidance, while also considering resource availability, local expertise, and high-value care. By the end of the episode, listeners will understand the pathophysiology of chronic CAD, risk-stratify patients with suspected CAD, recognize the advantages and pitfalls of each non-invasive diagnostic modality, and select the most appropriate diagnostic tool for a given clinical scenario.

Pearls: Chronic CAD is a complex process that extends beyond obstructive epicardial stenosis to include non-obstructive disease, dynamic plaque burden and ischemia, diffuse atherosclerosis, microvascular dysfunction, vasospasm, among others. When evaluating patients with suspected CAD, the diagnostic process should be guided by a specific and appropriate clinical question before ordering any tests. The current diagnostic tool arsenal is broadly divided into anatomic and functional imaging modalities. These are complementary, each with distinct properties and limitations, addressing different clinical questions and assessing different aspects of disease. Local availability and expertise, along with patient-specific considerations and contraindications, determine the choice of diagnostic modality. No single test is best for every patient. INOCA and coronary microvascular dysfunction represent a common and increasingly recognized entity that is diagnosable and treatable; initial evaluation includes non-invasive testing such as stress PET and stress CMR.

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Identify the need for systemic therapy among pediatric patients with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD); Recognize pediatric patients with moderate-to-severe AD for whom biologic therapy is an appropriate, evidence-based option; Review shared decision-making considerations regarding biologic therapy for pediatric patients with moderate-to-severe AD; and Integrate strategies to optimize biologic treatment for pediatric patients with moderate-to-severe AD.
First metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodesis is a reliable treatment for painful end-stage degenerative, inflammatory, and post-traumatic conditions and severe deformities of the first ray. Although long-term functional outcomes are well documented, the incidence and relevance of degenerative changes in adjacent joints of the medial column after first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP1) fusion remain uncertain. In conclusion, MTP1 arthrodesis provides excellent long-term satisfaction and functional outcomes with low revision rates. Although radiographic adjacent-joint degeneration, particularly involving the interphalangeal joint, may occur over time, these changes do not appear to influence clinical outcomes.

Send us Fan MailDr. Ward Rice, neonatologist and researcher within the Neonatal Research Network, presents two-year follow-up data from the landmark ACT NOW Eat Sleep Console trial — one of the largest multi-center randomized trials ever conducted on neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome. He shares findings on neurodevelopmental and behavioral outcomes at two years of age in babies exposed to buprenorphine versus methadone in utero, explaining why the short-term advantages of buprenorphine did not translate into measurable differences at this time point — but why both groups still scored below population norms on Bayley testing, underscoring the ongoing developmental risk in this population. He also discusses why longer follow-up is planned, what a smaller four-year study suggests may still emerge, and why this research ultimately informs prenatal decision-making by obstetric colleagues just as much as neonatal care at the bedside.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

LBCT: Long-term Outcomes of Women and Men Undergoing Self-Expanding Vs. Balloon Expandable Valves: A Sex-specific Analysis Of The SOLVE-TAVI Trial
There's no such thing as a "square deal" anymore. This week's Spotlight explores how brokers are adapting to a tougher commercial lending market using faster, more flexible non-bank solutions. Commercial lending has shifted – and brokers are right at the centre of it. As bank appetite tightens, costs rise, and deals become more complex, the old playbook isn't holding up. What's replacing it is faster, more flexible, and more strategic non-bank funding. Broker Daily's Julian Barnes is joined by Michael Volkiene, general manager of loan origination and credit at Msquared Capital, to unpack how brokers are adapting and why non-bank lending is becoming a critical part of the solution. This isn't about replacing banks – it's about filling the gaps they leave behind using short-term capital to unlock opportunities, manage time pressure, and create a pathway back to traditional funding. And increasingly, brokers are doing exactly that. Here's what's driving the shift: Brokers are reshaping deals with short-term, flexible non-bank funding to bridge gaps and secure opportunities. Speed, certainty, and transparency are becoming critical as bank appetites shift. A more strategic, long-term approach is helping brokers retain clients and navigate complexity. In a market that's only getting tougher, the brokers who win won't just be the ones who find a lender – they'll be the ones who know how to structure the deal.

The study explores invasive hemodynamic metrics and long-term outcomes in infants with BPD-associated pulmonary hypertension. Surprisingly, researchers found an almost equal distribution of pulmonary hypertension across mild, moderate, and severe BPD grades using the Jensen criteria. The hosts discuss the implications of these findings, questioning whether our traditional 36-week assessment timepoint is sufficient and if current grading criteria capture the true severity of pulmonary vascular disease in these vulnerable infants.----Pulmonary Hemodynamics and Long-Term Outcomes in Children with Pulmonary Hypertension-Associated Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia.

The management of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) continues to challenge clinicians—especially when conservative and interventional strategies fall short. This episode of RAPM Focus, hosted by RAPM Editor and Social Media Editor Ryan D'Souza, MD, explores these challenges in managing CRPS with Daniël van der Spek, MD, and Frank Huygen, MD, PhD, FIPP, FFPMCAI, following the August 2025 publication of their original research paper, “Long-term outcomes of amputation in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS): a mixed-methods study.” In rare and severe cases, amputation has been proposed as a last resort intervention, but the topic remains completely controversial. How does one weigh the potential relief of unrelenting pain against the risk of further complications and disability from an amputation? This episode explores a fascinating, mixed-method study into the long-term outcomes of patients with CPRS undergoing limb amputation in hopes of pain relief, despite risks of residual pain or phantom limb pain. Dr. Daniël van der Spek is a medical doctor and PhD candidate at the Erasmus University Medical Center under the supervision of Professor Huygen his research focus is on CPRS with a particular emphasis on interventional pain management. Dr. Frank Huygen is an anesthesiologist and pain physician serving as the head of the Department of Pain Medicine at Erasmus University Medical Center, and has been a full professor since 2009. His expertise focuses on CPRS and neuromodulation. He leads multiple national and international research projects, and maintains close collaborations with CRPS patient organizations, in both the Netherlands and the United States. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

Is the open thoracotomy becoming outdated as robotic surgery and advanced ablation techniques take center stage in lung cancer treatment? In the final discussion of the 2025 NSCLC Creator Weekend™ series, our virtual tumor board of interventional radiologists and pulmonologists from leading medical institutions discuss recent surgical and interventional advancements in the treatment of lung cancer. --- This podcast is supported by an educational grant from Johnson & Johnson and Varian. --- SYNPOSIS The conversation covers the contemporary role of PET scans, endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS), mediastinal staging, and the importance of perioperative systemic therapy. The doctors explore surgical and non-surgical methods for treating lung cancer, including lymph node dissection, criteria for resection, and the advantages of minimally invasive approaches such as video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted surgeries.A key focus of this episode is the decision-making process for treating multifocal lung cancers while preserving lung function, and the use of combined therapies like ablation and radiation. The episode concludes with a detailed case study illustrating the long-term management of a patient with multiple lung adenocarcinomas over several years, highlighting the multidisciplinary approach required in such complex scenarios. --- TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Introduction10:07 - Patient Selection and Comorbid Conditions27:29 - Surgical Margins and Resection Strategies42:11 - Understanding Upstaging in Cancer Treatment53:27 - Technical and Clinical Resectability56:13 - Case Study: Managing Multifocal Lung Cancer01:11:41 - Long-Term Outcomes and Treatment Strategies --- RESOURCES CALGB 140503 Trialhttps://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2212083 JCOG0802 Trialhttps://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)02333-3/abstract
When should an antibiotic allergy actually be tested? In this episode of the BackTable ENT Podcast, guest host Dr. Basil Kahwash, an allergist and immunologist at Ohio ENT & Allergy, sits down with Dr. Cosby Stone, an allergist and immunologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, to discuss antibiotic allergies and how to distinguish true allergies from intolerances. --- SYNPOSIS Dr. Stone breaks down common misconceptions around antibiotic allergies, with a focus on penicillin and cephalosporins. The conversation explores how these allergies are evaluated, including when skin testing is appropriate, why inaccurate allergy labels matter, and how confirmed allergies should be managed long term.
