The IMPROVE-AD Trial is a multicenter randomized trial funded by the NIH/NHLBI that compares thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) plus optimal medical therapy (OMT) vs. OMT and surveillance with selective TEVAR in patients with uncomplicated TBAD. The trial aims to address critical gaps in evidence left by prior studies (INSTEAD-XL, ADSORB), with a unique focus on quality of life, cost-effectiveness, and genetic data. Dr. Firas Mussa is a professor and the Chief of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston. He previously served as the Director of the Vascular Surgery Residency and Fellowship programs at NYU Langone Health. Dr. Mussa earned his medical degree from the University of Baghdad, followed by general surgery training at Johns Hopkins University and a vascular surgery fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine. His research focuses on complex aortic pathology, and he serves as the principal investigator of the IMPROVE AD trial. Mr. Jake Howitt is the Community Engagement Co-Chair of the IMPROVE AD trial and a leading patient advocate within the PCORI-funded Aortic Dissection Collaborative. As a survivor of aortic dissection, he is passionate about improving patient-provider communication and raising awareness of hereditary aortic disease.

On This Episode We Discuss: In this episode we explore genetic testing in low risk populations, both in direct-to-consumer and clinical settings. We interview authors on two recent JoGC papers related to topics of communication of health risks, understanding of genetic testing, and informed decision-making. You can find the Journal of Genetic Counseling webpage via onlinelibrary.wiley.com or via the National Society of Genetic Counselors website. Segment 1: An analysis of direct-to-consumer genetic testing portals and their communication of health risk and test limitations Nicole Lee is an associate professor of communication in the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences at Arizona State University. Her research examines the intersection of science communication, public relations, and digital media. This work has been applied to many contexts including climate change, biodiversity research, wellness products, and direct-to-consumer genetic testing. x: @lee_nicole linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicoleleepr/ In this segment we discuss: - What motivated the exploration of how direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic testing companies communicate health risks to consumers. - Potential impacts on consumers who may misinterpret relative risk when presented without adequate context. - Importance of genetic counselors in improving interpretation and communication of DTC genetic test results. - Suggestions for enhancing transparency and clarity in communicating health risks to consumers. Segment 2: Non-Invasive Prenatal Screening: Testing Motivations and Decision Making in the Low-Risk Population Meagan Choates, MS, CGC is the Assistant Program Director of the University of Texas Genetic Counseling Program and Assistant Professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Sciences at the McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston where she practices prenatal genetic counseling. She received a BS in Biochemistry and Genetics with a Minor in Psychology from Texas A&M University in 2014 and an MS in Genetic Counseling from the University of Texas Genetic Counseling Program in 2016. Meagan provides prenatal genetic counseling services at several Houston area clinics, and supervises genetic counseling students while on their prenatal rotation. In addition, she directs and teaches the genetic counseling program's Embryology course and Approaches to Genetic Counseling Research I & II. She co-directs and teaches in the program's Prenatal Genetic Counseling, Psychosocial Issues, and Psychosocial Practicum courses. She additionally oversees the genetic counseling students' Master of Science thesis research process. Her personal research interests include understanding how genetic screening and testing options are discussed, utilized, and interpreted in the clinical setting. ResearchGate profile: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Meagan-Choates-2 In this segment we discuss: - The anecdotal observations that inspired the study, notably that low-risk and high-risk patients shared similar motivations for choosing NIPT. - That insurance coverage was the second most significant factor influencing the decision to undergo NIPT. - About 44% of participants were classified as making "uninformed decisions" despite receiving pre-test counseling from a genetic counselor. However, the term “uninformed” used by the MMIC tool can be misleading. - The challenge of balancing detailed knowledge expectations with patients' ability to make value-consistent and thoughtful decisions.

According to the World Health Organization, around 3.6 billion diagnostic radiologic medical examinations are performed worldwide yearly. Diagnostic imaging exams — including X-rays, MRIs, Ultrasounds, CT scans, and PET scans — can truly save lives and change the trajectory of a patient's care plan by potentially preventing the necessity of surgery and more invasive procedures. Yet, despite the integral work of diagnostic radiologists and radiologic technologists, they remain to be the unsung heroes of medicine. What does the medical education and training for radiology look like? When is an X-ray needed to rule out a medical condition versus an MRI or a CT scan? Is the radiation emitted from the imaging machines safe? What are the scaled effects of radiation exposure on the body?We are joined today by diagnostic radiology resident physician Dr. Sally Choi (also known online as Drsallymanderchoi). She received her MD from McGovern Medical School at UTHealth and is currently completing her Diagnostic Radiology residency at UTHealth San Antonio Long School of Medicine, with an interest in furthering her training in Neuroradiology fellowship.

The saying “slow is smooth, and smooth is fast” comes to mind as a theme of today's conversation with Johnson George, MBA, PMP, CAHIM, on the Faculty Factory Podcast. This famous axiom underscores the importance of precision, consistency, and maintaining control as you go about your daily responsibilities and tasks. Relationships and human connection are to be key characteristics for our future leaders, as the frenetic pace of working in academic medicine can often make us feel like we're just robots plowing through to-do lists. We're excited to welcome back Mr. George for today's episode. He currently serves as Assistant Dean - Administration and Faculty Affairs at UTHealth Houston's McGovern Medical School. Congratulations are also in order for Mr. George for being named chair-elect of the AAMC's Group on Faculty Affairs (GFA) Steering Committee, as mentioned in today's broadcast. Overall, Mr. George's takeaway for our community of faculty development and faculty affairs personnel is that the future is bright for our next generation of leadership. Other themes explored in today's conversation include: Intention vs. Impact. “What got you here won't get you there.” Community-building and empathy. Adapting to the changing times as leaders. Navigating generational differences and a multigenerational workforce with emotional intelligence. Catching Up with Johnson George, MBA, PMP, CAHIMS Did you know? This is not his first appearance on the podcast; it's been nearly five years, though, since we heard from him on an episode from 2019 called “Catching up with Johnson George, MBA, PMP, CAHIMS.” Johnson brings an information technology background and thus an engineering-type mindset to his various roles in academic faculty affairs. Alongside leading with empathy, his unique background was a theme we explored in-depth on our podcast the first time Mr. George joined us. You can explore that episode here: https://facultyfactory.org/catching-up-with-johnson-george-mba-pmp-cahims/ You can also contact him here: Johnson.george@uth.tmc.edu

The right habits on diet and exercise are essential. But what are you doing to bolster your mental health? Gregory Scott Brown, M.D., author of The Self-Healing Mind, finds there's a lot we can do. He's identified five pillars of self-care, practices that are powerful, evidence-based medicine for the mind. Gregory Scott Brown, M.D. joins us from Houston, Texas. _________________________ Bio Gregory Scott Brown, M.D., is a psychiatrist, a mental health writer, and the author of The Self-Healing Mind: An Essential Five-Step Practice for Overcoming Anxiety and Depression, and Revitalizing Your Life.

It's how we interact with each other, how we love the quality of our relationships. It relates to our emotional intelligence. And so I think it's important that as people think about how they can stay mentally healthy, that they're also thinking about these other factors that play such a very important role in how we live and act." On Movement “As a psychiatrist, I prescribe psychiatric medications in my practice every single week, but we can't ignore the power of self-care. And what I mean by that is, as I outline in the book, things like Sleep, Spirituality, Nutrition, Breath Work, and Moving Our Body, Joe. These are things that all of us have access to. We all breathe 20 to 30,000 breaths every single day on average. We all move our bodies. We can all learn how to tap into the power of meditation, focusing on nutrient dense foods. And so if we're learning how to live our life in a way that supports not only our physical health but our mental health as well, then I believe we'll all be a little bit better off. A lot of people are intimidated by this idea of exercise. So Dr. Brown is telling me, I need to get a gym membership, or I need to sign up to run a marathon? That's great, but that's not what I'm advocating here when it comes specifically to what we can do to improve mental health. Several years ago, there was a huge study, a meta-analysis in the American Journal of Psychiatry, that actually found that people who move their bodies more had a lower risk for developing depression regardless of geographic ...

Seeing the devastating and deadly effects of marijuana in his patients, family, and friends, Dr. Raymond Wiggins began investigating the subject, and what he found shocked him. His search for answers revealed an overwhelming body of evidence showing the adverse effects of marijuana. Soon, he found he was not alone. As people learned of his quest, many had similar stories of friends and family who had suffered harm or died from this drug. The stories are heartbreaking. Every story is fuel on a fire that cannot be quenched. This investigation has now become a passion to bust marijuana myths and spread the truth about this dangerous drug. He believes if he saves one life, it is worth the effort. His mission is to save as many people as possible from the physical, mental, and spiritual ravages of this drug. Dr. Wiggins has studied the subject of marijuana for many years, examining the subject from both medical and biblical perspectives. He has the expertise to evaluate the mountains of information about marijuana, weed out the lies, and present the truth about the subject in an understandable, informative, persuasive, and engaging manner. Dr. Wiggins has earned over five hundred college credit hours, most in biological and medical sciences and most at the graduate and doctoral levels. He has two doctorates—a DDS from Texas A & M School of Dentistry and an MD from McGovern Medical School. Dr. Wiggins has been on the front lines of patient care for almost three decades and has sedated more than 27,000 patients. He serves on his state board Dental Review Committee and on the Edward C. Hinds Academy Foundation board. He has also served on the Texas Society of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons board. He recently earned his MDiv (Master of Divinity) in New Testament Studies from Regent University and is actively involved in ministry leadership.
People who are regular cannabis users are at an increased risk of experiencing complications after surgery, according to a study by researchers with UTHealth Houston. The study was published in a recent issue of JAMA Surgery. Joining me to talk about cannabis use disorder and the findings of the study is Paul Potnuru, MD. Dr Potnuru is the assistant professor in the Department of Anesthesiology, Critical Care and Pain Medicine at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston and the first author of the study.
What do Magic Johnson, the McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, and a molecule have in common? They each played an unexpected role in changing the course of our next guest, Stanley Lewis, CEO and founder of San Diego-based A28 Therapeutics, on his path toward finding a novel treatment for cancer and advocating for patient diversity in clinical trials. On this episode of LifeLines, Stanley speaks about his journey from academia to blazing his own trail in biotech and founding his own company. As a physician, Stanley specialized in treating HIV patients and helped lead the development of a new HIV drug for a large company. This got the attention of Magic Johnson's doctor, who recruited him to join Tai Med Biologics. Stanley never imagined he would one day be a biotech founder: an interview for a CMO position at a company that was retooling a molecule to treat cancer led him to San Diego. This meeting resulted in him purchasing the rights to the asset instead, establishing A28 Therapeutics. Stanley says it was “off to the races” from that point. “There's really no blueprint for what you're about to undertake. This is not for the faint of heart.” A28 Therapeutics developed a targeted oncolytic peptide platform to treat multiple types of cancers, including ovarian cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma. A28 Therapeutics' lead compound, AT-101—which is in its Phase 2 clinical trial—could potentially kill cancer cells much like how a vaccine treats infectious diseases, Stanley says. The company's goal is to find a treatment for cancer that doesn't cause the side effects often experienced with chemotherapy. Stanley is also passionate about advocating for patient diversity in clinical trials, and he shares the news about a nonprofit he co-founded, CARER, that monitors data on patient enrollment in clinical trials. CARER was born from an idea shared by a colleague who attended Biocom California's inaugural Black Biotech Trailblazers panel, where Stanley was a guest speaker. She approached him after the event, and their discussion on addressing diversity issues in the life science industry led to the creation of the nonprofit.

Barbara Orlando, MD, PhD, an associate professor of anesthesiology and the division chief of obstetric anesthesiology at McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center, in Houston, discusses several ways to reduce morbidity and mortality in pregnant patients. She also addresses high-risk pregnant patients with various comorbidities, such as obesity and those with a lack of prenatal care.“This podcast is about my personal journey as an anesthesiologist in gaining understanding and being more involved with societies and committees in charge of maternal mortality and morbidity. My interest was sparked by my passion for obstetric anesthesia, and my new role as a division chief of OB anesthesia at UT Houston. Reviewing bad outcomes and thinking of ways of reducing such events was very eye-opening to me, and I hope to inspire others as well.”

On today's episode, I'm talking to orthopedic surgeon Dr. Bonnie Gregory about celebrating your accomplishments. Bonnie is an assistant professor of orthopedics at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston and a team physician for several teams including the Houston Dash and the Houston Rockets. She's also a member of the Ruth Jackson Orthopaedics Society and part of the just 6% of orthopedic surgeons who are women. Throughout the interview, Bonnie shares with us how important celebrating your accomplishments can be because it gives us a moment away from focusing on what comes next and allows us to check in with our trajectory and make sure that it's really in line with our mission and vision.We talk about:Bonnie's journey to discovering orthopedics and how there is almost no single correct path to a given career.How participating in leadership programs helped Bonnie discover her leadership style but also taught her the importance of understanding the rules of the game in order to break the ones that were no longer working.As a woman physician covering teams ranging from the NBA to high school football, Bonnie is helping to change perceptions of what a team physician looks like, opening the doors for a new generation of physicians who look, think, and speak more like the patients they serve. Grab my free exercise to help you define your specific and unique values to help make sure you're staying in alignment with your mission and vision.You can find the show notes and more resources at https://madamathlete.comKeep an eye out for new content or let us know what you'd like to see next by following us on social:Instagram: @theMadamAthleteFacebook: @MadamAthleteTwitter: @MadamAthlete
According to Mayo Clinic, about 50% of women suffer from urinary incontinence, the inability to control urination voluntarily. However, only 25-61% of affected women discuss this problem with their healthcare providers. The resistance to sharing these urologic issues, both men and women, stem from shame and fear of judgment. This also stands true for other medical issues confined within the intimate parts of our bodies, including sexual dysfunction (whether it be low libido and premature ejaculation) and anatomical conditions (like uterine prolapse). Today, with empathy and compassion, we bring to light the pertinent issues "down there" that one may usually hide and fear.We are joined today by Dr. Fenwa Milhouse, a board-certified urologist, pelvic surgeon, and sexual health specialist. She received her BA in Biology from The University of Texas at Austin in 2003, MD from McGovern Medical School at UTHealth in 2008, Urology residency at the University of Chicago in 2014, and Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (Urogynecology) fellowship at Metro Urology in 2020. She currently stands as the attending physician and CEO of Down There Urology, PLLC, and has been appointed to the board of the Chicago Urological Society. Dr. Milhouse also utilizes social media to destigmatize sexual conditions and demonstrate the importance of representation in medicine, on which she has garnered over 100,000 followers. She has also been featured in articles by Insider, WebMD, and The American Urological Association.Livestream Air Date: March 21, 2022Olufenwa Famakinwa Milhouse, MD: IG @drmilhouse, TikTok @yourfavoriteurologist, & Web www.yourfavoriteurologist.comFriends of Franz: IG @friendsoffranzpod & FB @friendsoffranzpodChristian Franz (Host): IG @chrsfranz & YT Christian FranzThankful to the season's brand partners: Clove, BETR Remedies, Eko, Lumify, RescueMD, Medical School for Kids, Your Skincare Expert, Twrl Milk Tea
A new research paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 13 on December 6, 2022, entitled, “Expression of p-STAT3 and c-Myc correlates with P2-HNF4α expression in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).” Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with the metabolic syndrome and is rapidly becoming one of the major causes of hepatic cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), although some cases of HCC have developed in non-cirrhotic livers [1–8]. Although the percentage of patients with NAFLD who ultimately progress to fibrosis and later to HCC is relatively small, the number is significant because of the sheer number of patients who have NAFLD. Because there are no reliable biomarkers to predict the risk of HCC in patients with NAFLD, designing effective and cost-effective surveillance programs aimed at prevention and early detection of HCC is difficult, if not impossible. Therefore, there is an urgent need to identify such biomarkers and especially those that may appear at different stages of progression toward HCC. In the current study, researchers Mamoun Younes, Lin Zhang, Baharan Fekry, and Kristin Eckel-Mahan from George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences and McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas Health Science Center (UTHealth) studied the expression of two hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (HNF4α) isoforms, p-STAT3. and c-Myc in 49 consecutive liver biopsies with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) using immunohistochemistry. “The aim of this study was to determine the relationships between p-STAT3, c-Myc and P2-HNF4α expression in biopsies from livers with NAFLD as potential biomarkers of HCC risk.” All 49 biopsies (100%) were positive for nuclear expression of P1-HNF4α. Twenty-eight (57%) cases were positive for P2-HNF4α, 6 (12%) were positive for p-STAT3 and 5 (10%) were positive for c-Myc. All 6 (100%) p-STAT3-positive cases were also positive for P2-HNF4α (p = 0.03). p-STAT3-positive cases were more likely to be positive for c-Myc (67% vs. 2%, p = 0.0003). Four cases were positive for P2-HNF4α, p-STAT3 and c-Myc. p-STAT3 expression was associated with hypertension (p = 0.037). All c-Myc positive biopsies were from patients with obesity, diabetes and hypertension. Only c-Myc expression was associated with advanced fibrosis; three (60%) of the c-Myc positive cases were associated with advanced fibrosis in contrast to 7 (10%) of the 44 c-Myc negative cases (p = 0.011). “Based on these results, we hypothesize with the following sequence of events with progression of NAFLD: P2-HNF4α expression is followed by expression of p-STAT3 which in turn is followed by the expression of c-Myc. Additional larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.” DOI: https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28324 Correspondence to: Mamoun Younes - myounes@mfa.gwu.edu Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVR29K6P5I4 Keywords: hepatocyte nuclear factor four alpha, steatohepatitis, immunohistochemistry, hepatocellular carcinoma, isoform To learn more about Oncotarget, visit Oncotarget.com and connect with us on social media: Twitter - https://twitter.com/Oncotarget Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Oncotarget YouTube – www.youtube.com/c/OncotargetYouTube Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/oncotargetjrnl/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/oncotarget/ Pinterest - https://www.pinterest.com/oncotarget/ LabTube - https://www.labtube.tv/channel/MTY5OA SoundCloud - https://soundcloud.com/oncotarget For media inquiries, please contact: media@impactjournals.com

The ALL ME® Podcast Energy Drinks: How Significant is the Risk- Dr. John Higgins At some point in your day, have you had that feeling like you need a pick me up to get through the day. Some people start every morning with a cup of coffee. Others feel the need to grab an energy drink to get a boost to get through their diet. BUT, could that energy drink be causing more damage to your body, especially your heart, than you realize. In 2020, the energy drink industry generated $57 million dollars in revenue and that is expected to grow by 7-9% in the next 4-5 years. We are now seeing middle school children consuming energy drinks in addition to young athletes using these prior to high intensity exercise which can pose a significant risk. During our interview we talk about the potential risk of mixing caffeine, taurine, and other stimulants like guarana seed extract and panax ginseng. These ingredients also see an increase in utilization when combined with glucose (i.e. sugar). In this episode, we speak with Dr. John Higgins, Sports Cardiologist, to discuss his research outcomes on the impact energy drinks have on the cardiovascular system in healthy individuals. Dr. Higgins will discuss what ingredients are in these drinks, which ones may be posing a risk, what did his research determine on cardiovascular health and would he recommend consumers drink them? About Dr. Higgins John Higgins, MD, MBA, MPHIL, FACC, FACP, FAHA, FACSM, FASNC, FSGC is a Professor of Medicine at the McGovern Medical School at the University of Texas. He is also a Senior Cardiologist at Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital and Director of Exercise Physiology at Memorial Hermann Institute for Sports Medicine and Human Performance.
