Podcasts about Loyola University Medical Center

We are going to discuss the topic of scars and cover several topics related to scars on this edition of the DiepCJourney podcast. It is understood, anyone who has surgery will have scars of some kind. There is a mechanism to how scars heal. In plastic surgery, if you think of the Greek word, plastikós (πλᾰστῐκός it means to shape or mold. Scars are a significant consideration in plastic surgery then. I invited an expert in the field to share his expertise on the topic. My guest is Dr. Andrew Gassman joined PRMA in San Antonio, Texas in 2021. Dr. Gassman completed his plastic and reconstructive surgery residency at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine in Los Angeles, California, and a general surgery residency, as Chief of Surgical Resident Education, at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood Illinois. Following his residency, Dr. Gassman completed his fellowship in breast and reconstructive microsurgery, with a specialty in facial reanimation at UTSW Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in Dallas, Texas. Dr. Gassman and his team practice the co-surgeon model in breast reconstruction, meaning each patient undergoing autologous breast reconstruction will have two board-certified microsurgeons in the OR at the time of their reconstruction. They are part of the IFAR (Institute for Advanced Reconstruction) network collaborating with other microsurgeons in the IFAR network to improve patient safety, care, and outcomes. Dr. Gassman discusses the importance of scars and the considerations for plastic surgeons regarding scars for their patients. He tells us, “These are marks that a patient is going to carry with them for their lives.” He tells us about techniques used at his practice and considerations like: ·       Scar placement ·       Scar healing ·       Different types of scars and skin types ·       Scar management after surgery ·       Scar revisions at phase 2 ·       Emotional impact of scars We reference a DiepCJourney podcast in our discussion you can listen to here: Ep. 60: Credibility in the Noise _ Social Media, Breast Reconstruction, and Your Experience.

We welcome back Foot & Ankle Specialist and Residency Director of Loyola University Medical Center, Dr. Adam Schiff, MD to discuss surgical versus nonsurgical management of Achilles tendon ruptures.  We review the study “Operative versus nonoperative treatment of acute Achilles tendon rupture: a propensity score-matched analysis of a large national dataset“ published in OJSM in February coming to us from Duke University.  In the study, Dr. Brian Lau and his team found an increased risk of complications with surgical versus nonsurgical care, no difference in reoperation rates, and increased costs with surgical care initially but an equalization of costs at 5 years post-injury.  The authors also report that over the study period from 2007-2015, there was little change in the rate of surgical repair, despite the widely published success of modern nonsurgical care.  Dr. Schiff lends his expertise on this topic, lays out the pros and cons of each approach, the historical perspective, what situations might be best suited for each treatment pathway, and the psychology he sees in his patients as they decide whether to have surgical repair of their Achilles tendon rupture.

We welcome Foot & Ankle Specialist and Residency Director of Loyola University Medical Center, Dr. Adam Schiff, MD to discuss suture button versus screw fixation for ankle syndesmotic injuries.  We review the study “Comparison of Suture Button and Syndesmotic Screw for Ankle Syndesmotic Injuries: A Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials“ published in OJSM in January coming to us from Southwest Hospital of Army Medical University in Chongqing, China.  In the study, Dr. Kang-Lai Tang and his team found no difference in terms of malreduction, however the suture button group had significantly lower rates of local irritation and unplanned reoperation.  Dr. Schiff lends his expertise on this topic, lays out the pros and cons of each approach, the historical perspective, and what situations might be best suited for each treatment construct. 

On this episode of My Lupus Living Room, Adrienne fills in for Suzanne and sits down with Dr Emily Littlejohn, DO, MPH from the Cleveland Clinic. She may be our most accomplished guest yet, and while she did complete her Rheumatology Fellowship at that school up north, she's made up for it in spades by helping countless lupus patients across Ohio.

She directs the Cleveland Clinic Lupus Cohort (CCLC), a longitudinal bio repository that banks blood and urine of lupus patients and is co- director of the Lupus Clinic.

As we continue the journey of reinvention I thought it would be great to have an episode that focuses on creating or maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  While I like to think of myself as a fairly healthy person, I admit that I struggle in maintaining some of my health goals when life is on a fast train. But maintaining a healthy lifestyle can boost our performance in our daily lives personally and professionally, can help reduce our stress levels and bring more energy into what it is that we do everyday.  For this episode, I invite a long time friend and colleague to share her expertise and give us tips as we strive to create change and form healthy habits.Ashley Barrient is a Registered, Licensed Dietitian and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the state of Illinois.

Episode 87. This is a conversation I've been anticipating for a while now, but likely wouldn't have had even as recently as a few years ago. To be honest, I was scared to do it. As a professional who believes that no one should feel pressure to lose weight, I don't want to have anyone see that I have a podcast about this topic and believe I think they should take these meds or be trying to shrink their body. But you know why I was most nervous to have the episode? Because I didn't want my professional colleagues to judge or think less of me. I'm putting this episode out into the world because I believe individuals should not feel shame if they decide to make weight loss medications part of their journey. I also strongly believe that our professional world is split into many different "us versus them" camps, and it's incredibly counterproductive. We all have the same goals, to make our clients or patients feel good and well. What to Expect in this Interview In this interview, we cover: Some of the history of weight loss medication options (and why I likely wouldn't have had an episode like this a few years ago) A brief overview of weight loss medication options available (including a brief overview of non-GLP-1 agonist medications such as Contrave and Orlistat) An overview of the mechanism of action for GLP-1 agonist medications (I get questions about these medications almost weekly lately) Brief review of the risks and benefits from medical and psychological standpoints Ready to Break the Emotional Eating Cycle for Good? Ready to stop avoiding and break the binge eating cycle for good? The first step is to tune in to your body with curiosity and awareness. Grab the free step-by-step guide today! Grab my free guide to disrupt the cycle of emotional eating today! Medications We Covered Dr. Egan gave a brief overview of some of the pros and cons of non-GLP-1 agonist options: Contrave (combination of bupropion and naltrexone) Qsymia (phentermine and Topiramate) Orlistat Plenity (newer medication, only very short-term studies) GLP-1 Agonist Medications Saxenda (liraglutide) Wegovy (semaglutide) Mounjaro (tirzepatide) - currently only approved for people with a diagnosis of diabetes. This medication is a GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist. Who is Dr. Celia Egan? Dr. Egan joined True Women's Health® over a year ago after practicing Obesity Medicine and Internal Medicine at Spectrum Health Medical Group.  At True, she focuses on what she loves including extensive patient care in medical weight management and providing evidence-based wellness expertise to women in a primary care setting.

An Indiana woman heard the heartbeat of her late daughter inside the chest of a 68-year-old Illinois man who received it in a transplant operation. Amber Morgan and Tom Johnson met for the first time, four years after he received a heart transplanted from the body of Andreona Williams, who was 20 when she died from asthma complications. The Indiana Donor Network arranged the rare meeting at a Chicago hotel, the Chicago Tribune reported. Morgan listened through a stethoscope that was pressed to Johnson's chest. “It's almost like I got to hug my daughter again,” the South Bend, Indiana, woman said. “As a mother, you listen to your child's heartbeat when you carry them, and I don't think you ever ask to hear it again,” Morgan said. “It's amazing.” Johnson of Kankakee, Illinois, said he sent a letter to Morgan in 2019, a year after the transplant at Loyola University Medical Center in suburban Chicago. He wanted to express his gratitude for the family's decision to donate the heart. He sent a second letter, too, but did not get a response until recently when Morgan said she would like to meet, especially after her own heart problems. Johnson had dealt with a weak heart since childhood. Doctors tried a pacemaker and defibrillator before telling him that a transplant was the best solution. “It opened up a whole new world of possibilities,” Johnson said. “It's just unbelievable. I mean, I can work out in the garden, ride the bike. My sons can't believe how quick I can go.” Johnson's wife, Sharon, said Williams' heart is special. “He takes very special care of her,” she said. “He never misses his heart medication. Never.” This article was provided by The Associated Press.

In this episode we discuss the Rezum procedure for the treatment of the urinary symptoms associated with an enlarged prostate (BPH).  Rezum is considered one of the so called MIST procedures -minimally invasive surgical therapies for BPH. Other such procedures include UroLift and Itind.  So how does Rezum compare to these other procedures as well as to more traditional surgical therapies such as TURP or laser procedures?  What are the risks and benefits?  How durable is the procedure?  And, probably most importantly, what kind of outcome or improvement can someone expect from the procedure?  In order to answer these questions, we turned to an expert in the Rezum procedure, Dr. Kevin McVary.  Dr. McVary is Professor of Urology and Director of the Center for Male Health at the Stitch School of Medicine at Loyola University Medical Center.  Dr McVary is the Chairman of the AUA BPH Clinical Guidelines Committee, the Co-Chair of the International Consultation on Male LUTS and is the Associate Editor of the Journal of Urology. He has also completed a 4 year stint on the American Board of Urology Exam Committee.  An experienced investigator in prostatic disorders and erectile dysfunction (ED), Dr. McVary is currently and has recently been principal investigator for more than 75 clinical trials. Dr. McVary's research has generated more than 400 publications including  journal articles, books, book chapters, and abstracts.

In this episode we discuss penile implants.  Most guys are aware of the common treatments for erectile dysfunction ranging from pills to injections to vacuum pumps.  But what if those treatments don't work or have intolerable side effects?  Did you know that erectile dysfunction can also be treated by surgically implanting devices into the penis that can create erections on demand?  So what is involved with this type of surgery? Are these implants safe?  How do they work?  What are the risks?  And are they durable enough to last for the long haul?  To help us answer these questions, we are fortunate to be joined by Dr. Marah Hehemann.  Dr. Hehemann is a board certified urologist specializing in male reproductive and sexual health.  She earned her medical degree from Rush Medical College.  Dr.  Hehemann completed her general and urologic surgical training at Loyola University Medical Center and then completed a fellowship in Andrology, Male Reproductive and Sexual Health at the University of Washington.   Dr. Hehemann is an active member of several national and international societies including the Sexual Medicine Society of North America and the Society for the Study of Male Reproductive Health, and serves on the Editorial Board of the Video Journal of Prosthetic Urology.

This episode features Kevin Smith, Chief Medical Officer at Loyola University Medical Center. Here, he discusses his responsibilities in his role, his best advice for emerging physician leaders, and more.

Dr. Matthew Fitz is a Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics at Loyola University Medical Center, Stritch School of Medicine. Dr. Fitz completed his medical school from University of Kentucky College of Medicine and residency in Internal Medicine & Pediatrics from Loyola University Medical Center. He was a Chief Resident, then the Internal Medicine Clerkship and Subinternship Director before transitioning into becoming the lead advisor for students in the Clinical Years and the Vice Chair for Faculty Development and Mentorship in the department of medicine. His areas of clinical and research interest include advocacy, advising, NBME subject exam assessment, and underserved medicine. Finding an exceptional mentor is an integral part of any professional career, but it can be particularly invaluable for those in the early part of their careers in medicine. Today, Dr. Fitz speaks about starting and sustaining effective mentoring relationships, how the natural tension can actually work out in your favor, and what it really means to be a great follower & leader when it comes to receiving and accepting guidance. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Being a good leader means having a vision, communicating it effectively, working on and enabling a successful team, and surrounding yourself with people you can trust. 2. Natural tension is common in a mentor/mentee relationship. If it's present, you shouldn't give up and walk away, especially since these relationships tend to be the most successful. 3. When working with a mentor, be respectful of their limited time. To show this, be readily available, specify the big picture, identify where you need help, and follow up afterwards.

“As women, we’re told that we can have it all, but we still have to make a sacrifice. There may be a time when you’re sacrificing for your family and your career is on hold. But there’s always going to be that time to go back to your career. You can do it before, you can do it after, you can do it any way that works for you, you don’t have to be like anybody else. You don’t have to worry about what anyone else is doing.” -Dr. Paula Marfia  In today’s episode, Dr. Jen Barna talks with Dr. Paula Marfia. You’ll get the real take on what it’s like to be a nocturnist, wife and mother. You’ll hear how Dr. Marfia makes it work and also get insight into being a nocturnist. It turns out that being a nocturnist is an amazing way to have your career and have time for family. That’s not to say that Dr. Marfia didn’t make sacrifices, because she did. Tune in to hear how she makes it all work.  Dr. Marfia earned her Bachelor’s of Science in Biology from Bradley University. She earned her Master’s degree from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana in Food Science and Human Nutrition. She attended medical school at Saint Louis University, then transferred to Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine which is where she earned her MD. She completed her Internal Medicine residency at Loyola and she is on staff at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, IL.  Excerpts from the show:   “Let’s dive right in. I'm curious to hear about your experience as a woman physician and a mom and how you made the choice to become a nocturnist.”   “Sure, I kind of always knew that I wanted to be a doctor. I had this idea of service to others and I just remember when I was a little kid I had trouble learning to read. I didn't learn to read till I was in second grade and this idea of being smart really got to me. I felt like, when I went to the doctor, the doctor knew what was going on. They had the answers to everything. And so, that really appealed to me growing up. And then, at least I kind of learned what medicine was. As I found that I excelled in school, I thought that was the path for me. I liked the idea of getting some respect. What I found out is, medicine is a totally different world than what I thought it was going to be, especially being a mom. I only thought about being a doctor. I never thought that I was going to be a mom and get married. I'm not sure why I never thought about that, but I found myself in medical school and I found the love of my life, and so we got married and then it was just like, ‘Ok, well, now my road is going to be a little bit different.’ ”  -Dr Paula Marfia “My husband was in the military, so we were in St. Louis and we ended up going up to Great Lakes Naval Base. My family is up here, so we were like, ‘Ok, fine.’ I got into Loyola, which was kind of a dream of mine. So I'm (accepted) here at Loyola and then we move. It was a big whirlwind and then all the sudden, ‘Well, I'm sorry. I need some time off, I’m gonna have a baby.’ So I was worried, but it was very enlightening and very nice that at Loyola, the first thing the dean said to me was not, ‘We just let you in and now you're going to need maternity leave?’ It was, ‘Well, would you like to take an extra year off? You could finish if you want, but what do you want to do? What do you want?’ So that was a really good experience. As I went through and finished medical school, I had extra time. My focus was, how am I going to raise my kids and be a doctor? I wanted to have another kid and I didn't want to have a child in residency, so I decided I would have a baby as soon as I was done with residency. I was like, ‘How am I going to have a job?’ So I would be asking was there any kind of part-time work? And they were like, ‘No, not really.’ That wasn't an option back in 2008 or so. But they said they were looking to hire people to work nights part-time and so I was like, ‘Ok.’ They said you have to admit three patients and just answer the nurses phone calls. I was like, ‘Heck that's nothing, residency was ten times worse than that.’ So I kind of just took it as an easy way to be able to work and keep up my skills and concentrate on my family. It ended up, that position flourished and it changed over time, and now it's just a much bigger position. So it allowed me to have that flexibility that I want, and be there for my children.” -Dr. Paula Marfia “How did you work your schedule so that you could actually work all night and then still be present for your kids during the day?” -Dr. Jen Barna “So the one key thing was just planning and scheduling appropriately. The nice part about being a nocturnist was I get to make my schedule. So there's three of us, and the three of us have to cover all the nights. It's ten nights a month, so there are lots of days that I'm home. The days that I'm home I'm free to do all the activities that I need to do with my kids. So then I just need to plan the days that I'm working. I was very lucky that my dad retired from teaching right around the time I needed him to start watching the kids. My mom started going to work and my dad stayed home. They helped me watch my kids. So I would come home, I would take the kids to my parents house and they would let me sleep at their house. I would get five or six hours of solid sleep and then I was able to get up and do things for a few hours and then go to work.” -Dr. Paula Marfia “We all only have a finite amount of time. So I started thinking about time. Really, there's 168 hours in a week. When you say it that way, it's like, ‘Ok, if I sleep eight hours a night that's still 112 hours left to do things. So, ok, what are the things that I have to do?’ I just took an assessment of what I'm spending my time on. What am I spending my time on that I don't want to spend my time on? How can I maximize the hours of the day that I do have so that I can do what I want to do? So really sitting down and actually planning. Having a planner, having an organizational system. You just have to find a few different things that work for you.” -Dr Paula Marfia Get One-on-One Coaching with Coach Gabriella Dennery MD Get One-on-One Coaching with Master-Certified Coach Jill Farmer   DocWorking believes the time has come to prioritize the health and wellness of physicians.

In this episode, Dr. G is joined by Kate Johnson, MD, assistant professor and board-certified psychiatrist at Loyola University Medical Center, and Daryl Wilson, MD, board-certified emergency medicine physician at Edward-Elmhurst Health, to discuss the hidden health dangers of loneliness and isolation. Can feelings of loneliness lead to mental or physical health problems? Social connection is a basic human need and it's important to explore its natural (sometimes complicated) link to good health. What people have experienced during the coronavirus pandemic has really underscored how much people need each other. Humans have an inherent need for meaningful human connection—it's as important as food, water and shelter. Isolation can not only lead to mental illness such as depression, it can manifest in physical illness such as heart disease. Can isolation or loneliness lead to illness? What's a healthy way to cope with loneliness? Fortunately, humans are resourceful. People can find creative ways to combat feelings of loneliness and isolation and maintain a healthy mind-body connection.   Guests Kate Johnson, MD - assistant professor and board-certified psychiatrist, Loyola University Medical Center. Daryl Wilson, MD - board-certified emergency medicine physician, Edward-Elmhurst Health.   Resources: How to combat loneliness and protect your health Depression can take a toll on your body, too Never a reason: talking with your teen about depression Depression doesn't discriminate Is depression a normal part of getting older?

Dr. Elizabeth Mueller is the division director of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPRMS) at Loyola University Medical Center and incoming president of the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS). She is a renowned expert in female pelvic floor dysfunction, with over 80+ publications and 15+ grant-funded research initiatives. Notably, she is the first AUGS president to graduate from a urology residency. As demonstrated by the litany of these academic accolades, Dr. Mueller understands what it takes to be a successful physician. In this podcast, we dive into nuts and bolts of her success story. Interestingly, Dr. Mueller’s path to medicine was fairly untraditional. Originally, she started her career as a critical care nurse in the ICU. After saving up enough money to go to college, she found an interest in the math and sciences, and graduated with a B.S. in mechanical engineering from the University of Missouri-Rolla. She worked for Procter and Gamble for six years, climbing the ranks of the engineering and business world to eventually lead a 120 person department with a $13 million/year operating budget. In reflecting on the satisfaction she felt during her days as an ICU nurse, she made the decision to apply for medical school at age 36. She would then graduate from St. Louis University School of Medicine and complete a urology residency and urogynecology/FPRMS fellowship at Loyola. Captivating, insightful, and knowledgeable, Dr. Mueller is known as an amazing mentor inside and outside the OR. Tune in for discussions on what it takes to achieve such success in the world of academic medicine.

Today, Dr. Stephanie Detterline urges us to choose working environments that align with our goals and aspirations, and that give us permission to bring love and passion into a career path we are enthusiastic about. She believes we will find the most success when we are able to be open and honest to our mentors about our struggles, as well as our love for the work we do. Lastly, she talks about differentiating between physician burnout and exhaustion: While tiredness is common and probably inevitable, physician burnout is much more likely to creep in when we feel undervalued, underappreciated, and unfulfilled. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. It's important to choose an environment that matches our goals and aspirations, and that can enable us to bring love and passion in a job we look forward to. 2. Own your history, admit your mistakes, and develop a growth mindset. 3. Distinguish between physician burnout and tiredness. While burnout may include elements of tiredness, it is more about not feeling appreciated and valued in your work.

On this episode we take a look into complementary and alternative medicine. Does hypnosis actually work? Can a certain herbal medicine make me live longer? These are some of the questions we ask Dr. Kit Lee, a Family Medicine physician at Loyola University Medical Center. While medical education programs spend little class time addressing non-traditional therapies, the NIH’s National Center for Complementary and Integrative health reports that about 38% of adults and 12% of children currently use some type of complementary and alternative (CAM) therapy.  To shed some light onto CAM therapies like chiropractic/osteopathic manipulation, acupuncture, aromatherapy, biofeedback therapy, biofield therapy, herbal medicine, hypnosis, meditation, naturopathy, and yoga, we brought in a champion of CAM therapy, Dr. Lee. Dr. Lee completed her undergraduate and medical education at Northwestern University, and completed her residency at MacNeal Hospital in Berwyn, IL. She is board certified in medical acupuncture and is a certified yoga instructor. Additionally, she has professional training in mind, body spirit medicine and training in medical hypnosis.

The Rotations team welcomes back Ramzan Shahid, M.D., Residency Director in Pediatrics at the Loyola University Medical Center, for the second segment of a two-part discussion on emotional intelligence and its role in medical education. On this episode, the Rotations team gets into the implications of emotional intelligence on medical education and continued education among established physicians. How can emotional intelligence play a role in residency mentorship, and how should EI be integrated into the first two years of medical education? Rotations also welcomes back Laura Jensen, research coordinator in the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine and Dr. Sharon Casapulla, Director of Education and Research in Family Medicine at the Heritage College. This show was produced and hosted by Todd Fredricks, hosted (in absentia) by Nisarg Bakshi, engineered by Kyle P. Snyder and edited by Brian Plow.

Happy 4th of July from the Rotations team! Between backyard BBQs and fireworks, be sure to take a little time to listen in on this week's episode. The Rotations team welcomes Ramzan Shahid, M.D., Residency Director in Pediatrics at the Loyola University Medical Center, in the first segment of a two-part discussion on emotional intelligence and its role in medical education. What role does emotion have in building and defining a doctor’s relationship with patients and colleagues? How can teaching the management of emotions in those relationships promote better relationships, trust, patient satisfaction and possibly prevent physician burnout? What does the research say? Here’s our chance to touch base with an expert in this emerging trend, and see how “E.I.” can address some these more complex and non-linear dynamics in medical education. Rotations also welcomes Laura Jensen, research coordinator in the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine and Dr. Sharon Casapulla, Director of Education and Research in Family Medicine at the Heritage College.

Pathologists need to be knowledgeable and keep pace with the recent advances in cytological classifications to modify the way specimens are processed, reviewed, reported, and managed. Two new cytological classifications, the Paris System for urinary cytology and the Milan System for salivary gland cytology have changed and will continue to change the practice of these challenging sites. In this CAPcast, Dr. Jeffrey F. Krane, chief of the head and neck pathology service at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston, and Dr. Eva Wojcik, Chair of Pathology at Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago, discuss what pathologists need to know about these two new classification systems. Drs. Krane and Wojcik will be teaching a course on this topic at CAP18 which will be held Oct. 20-24 in Chicago. Learn more about CAP18 (#cap18chi): http://www.capannualmeeting.org/.

Guest: Scott Smith, MD, PhD, FACP, Associate Professor Medicine, Hematology/Oncology at Loyola University Medical Center. Lymphoma is the most common type of blood cancer in the United States. It is the seventh most common cancer in adults and the third most common in children. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is far more common than Hodgkin's lymphoma. Lymphoma can occur at any age, including childhood. Hodgkin's disease is most common in two age groups: young adults 16-34 years of age and in older people 55 years of age and older. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is more likely to occur in older people. So, what are the symptoms, prognosis, and are there new treatment options?
