Dr Ankur Kalra's guest this week is Dr Saraschandra Vallabhajosyula, Interventional and Critical Care Cardiologist, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University and the Director of the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Rhode Island Hospital, the Miriam Hospital and Lifespan Cardiovascular Institute. In this episode of Parallax, they delve into the latest insights from ACC.24 through the lens of five pivotal late-breaking trials. Dr Vallabhajosyula offers a deep dive into the nuances of each study. Together, Dr Kalra and Dr Vallabhajosyula distil the complexities of these trials into key messages for practice, grounded in their own clinical experiences. In the spotlight are five key trials: 1. DanGer Shock: Microaxial Flow Pump or Standard Care in Infarct-Related Cardiogenic Shock 2. RELIEVE-HF: Safety and effectiveness of the V-Wave® Ventura® Interatrial Shunt for the treatment of heart failure (HF) 3. PREVENT: Preventive PCI or medical therapy alone for vulnerable atherosclerotic coronary plaque 4. REDUCE AMI: Decreased usage of beta-blockers after acute myocardial infarction 5. ORBITA-COSMIC: Coronary sinus reducer for the treatment of refractory angina Dr Kalra and Dr Vallabhajosyula dissect the practical implications of these trials, answering pressing questions and addressing emerging dilemmas. What are the key takeaways from ACC.24? How do these findings shape contemporary clinical practice?

On today's episode we're focusing on medial collateral ligament injuries with Dr. Brett Owens. We'll start off our discussion today with an article authored by our guest, Dr. Brett Owens, titled “The Epidemiology of Medial Collateral Ligament Sprains in Young Athletes” from the 2014 issue of AJSM.The authors performed a longitudinal cohort study of US military cadets and found that MCL injuries are relatively common in the athletic population. Male athletes are at significantly greater risk than females –of the 128 injuries in this study, 89% occurred in males. Intercollegiate athletes are also at greater risk than athletes participating in intramural sports. The incidence of MCL injury was highest in wrestling and hockey. In terms of time missed, the average amount of time was 23 days but this differed based on the grade of injury – with grade I sprains only missing a median of 13.5 days.Up next is a Current Concepts Review article from JBJS authored by Robert LaPrade and colleagues at the University of Minnesota. Some takeaways from this paper: First, the medial structures of the knee (including the superficial and deep MCL as well as the posterior oblique ligament) are the most commonly injured ligamentous structures of the knee. The majority of medial knee ligament tears are isolated injuries. Physical examination is the initial method of choice for diagnosis and includes application of a valgus load to the knee in both full extension as well as in 20 to 30 degrees of knee flexion. In terms of imaging, valgus stress radiographs and MRI are useful to confirm and grade the injury.We wrap up Part I with a discussion on the prevention of MCL injury and review an article from the August issue of OJSM this year titled “Prophylactic Knee Bracing in Offensive Lineman of the NFL – A Retrospective Analysis of Usage Trends, Player Performance and Major Knee Injury.” Dr. Robert Gallo and team at Penn State found that brace wears had a significantly lower rate of major knee injury, defined as an injury requiring time missed. The most common knee injury in nonbracers was an isolated MCL injury. There was no difference in player performance between bracers and nonbracers. Interestingly, despite this data, brace usage has steadily declined – from 16.3% in 2014 to 5.6% in 2020 – specifically at the rookie level.We are joined today by Dr. Brett Owens, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon at University Orthopaedics in Providence Rhode Island, who specializes in complex shoulder, knee and sports medicine. He is the Chief of Sports Medicine at the Miriam Hospital in Providence, RI and the Director of the Rhode Island Cartilage Repair Center. He is a Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Brown University Alpert Medical School and is currently a Team Physician for Brown University and the Providence Bruins. Prior to joining University Orthopaedics, Dr. Owens served as the Chief of Orthopedics and Sports Medicine at Keller Army Hospital at West Point New York, where he cared for soldiers and cadets at the US Military Academy and was the Team Physician for Army lacrosse, rugby, and football teams. While deployed in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom, Dr. Owens served as Chief of Orthopedics at the 86th Combat Support Hospital. He has also served as Team Physician for US Lacrosse like Catherine! Needless to say, he is a very accomplished person and we are excited to have him join us today.

Dan McKee's requirement to get all workers vaccinated against COVID-19, the Rhode Island Department of Health announced last week. The list includes some of the largest hospitals in the state, including Rhode Island Hospital and the Miriam Hospital, along with dozens of nursing facilities. A total of 92 health care facilities have requested extensions to meet the vaccine requirement, which took effect last Friday. All have plans to meet the mandate by Oct. 31, according to the health department. Another 215 facilities reported that they are in compliance with the requirement, including Kent County Memorial Hospital and Our Lady of Fatima Hospital. McKee announced in August that all healthcare workers would be required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by Oct. 1.

Dr. Schiffman is a graduate of NYU Medical School. He completed his residency in Internal Medicine and fellowship in Hematology/Oncology from Yale New Haven Hospital. Dr. Schiffman has published extensively in hematologic malignancies and on a variety of subjects regarding the education of students and house staff.

Carpenter Award for excellence in the specialty of Internal Medicine, and the Human Dignity Award given by Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island. “At the end of the day, when you're off the clock, go to the patient's room. Ask about their day; answer their worries; reassure them of your support; give them your undivided attention; clear your mind of all distracting thoughts, and just be there for the patient.” Today we listen to Dr. Fred Schiffman share his journey, reflecting on our broader role as physicians in treating illness, not just disease. “Cure sometimes, relieve often, and comfort always” is one of Dr. Schiffman's many mantras, encouraging us to allow our humanistic side to shine through as we care for our patients. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. The secret to dealing with learners that have difficulty is to capitalize on their strengths, and to never criticize the person, only the incorrect method or behavior. 2. Be present with the patient. Give them your undivided attention. When you are off the clock at the end of the day, spend five minutes to ask about their day. 3. As our career progresses, we often forget the compassion and love that inspired us to enter the field of medicine. To reconnect with the warmth of those ideals, simply take five minutes to reflect on what you would want if you were on the other side of the stethoscope.

Dr. Eleftherios Mylonakis, the Charles C.J. Carpenter Professor of Infectious Disease and Professor of Medicine at The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University as well as Professor of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology at Brown, delivers an in-depth overview discussing microbial pathogenesis and host responses. Dr. Mylonakis is an infectious disease specialist who has brought his wealth of experience to multiple hospitals in the New England area, including Massachusetts General Hospital and Miriam Hospital. Dr. Mylonakis earned his medical degree from University of Athens and has been practicing medicine for over 20 years. Dr. Mylonakis discusses his extensive work in infectious diseases and drug discovery. He explains the types of diseases, and their research in resistant bacteria, with special attention given to Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which refers to a group of Gram-positive bacteria that are distinct, genetically, from other types/strains of Staphylococcus aureus. And MRSA, unfortunately, is resistant to numerous antibiotics. The research doctor discusses this particular bacteria, where it lives, and how it functions. As he states, our skin works as an effective barrier from this bacteria entering our bloodstream, but a scratch on the skin, and trauma from an accident, etc. can help the bacteria penetrate and then it can possibly spread through the bloodstream. Dr. Mylonakis explains how to identify virulence factors, and he expounds upon the current research regarding the microbiome, and how disruption could lead to colonization. Resistance traits are an important part of the research, and it is crucial to study the relationships. The noted doctor talks in detail about diagnostics, and the time we wait for cultures, to understand what is going on. Most labs wait up to 5 days, which creates a difficult situation because time is of the essence in order to effectively treat toxicity and infection. Wrapping up, Dr. Mylonakis explains the process to treat infections after diagnostics.

Obesity and weight loss are notoriously challenging areas of research and intervention. Traditional behavioral psychology methods for weight loss are known to be ineffective in the long-term for many people. At a time of year when many of us are resolving to eat better, exercise more, and lose weight, obesity and weight loss expert Dr. Jason Lillis offers a different, evidence-based perspective on this complicated issue. In this interview, cross-posted from the podcast Psychologists Off The Clock, Dr. Diana Hill interview Dr. Lillis about his book, The Diet Trap: Feed Your Psychological Needs and End the Weight Loss Struggle Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (New Harbinger Publications, 2014).Dr. Lillis discusses his own values-based reasons for studying obesity, the importance of behavioral interventions, why the “weight loss agenda” may be an ineffective trap, and how values can support long-term commitment to health behaviors. Dr. Lillis also talks about two exercises from ACT that can help people with body appreciation and values-directed behaviors. Jason Lillis is an assistant professor at the Weight Control and Diabetes Research Center at Brown Medical School and the Miriam Hospital. He is a leading ACT researcher who is currently running NIH grants aimed at developing and testing ACT methods for health behavior change, with a specific focus on weight control and physical activity. He is the author of three books:The Diet Trap, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (Theories of Psychotherapy), and Mindfulness and Acceptance for Treating Eating Disorders and Weight Concerns, and is an editor for the Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science.

About the book: Have you tried every diet or weight loss plan under the sun, but still can’t manage to lose weight and keep it off? You aren’t alone. Each year, Americans spend billions of dollars on weight-loss products, yet we continue to have the highest obesity rate in the world. After trying and failing countless times, you have to begin to wonder, “What am I doing wrong?” The problem with most fad diets is that they only attack the symptom of the problem, not the cause. No matter how much you try to deny yourself the food you crave, you always end up reverting back to bad habits. You might even lose weight initially, but more often than not you’ll gain it back—with a couple extra pounds to boot! In order to make real change in your life, you need to change the way you think about food, weight, and what’s most important to you. The Diet Trap offers proven-effective methods based in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you develop mindful eating habits, self-compassion, and a greater understanding of what it means to live a valued life. ACT is a values-based therapy that has been proven effective for the treatment of weight loss. Because ACT encourages you to accept and experience uncomfortable emotions—rather than succumb to emotional eating—it helps you to stay on your path to lose weight, while also helping you develop compassion toward yourself, no matter how much you weigh. Written by two researchers in the field of ACT, this book offers evidence-based solutions to help you fundamentally change the way you think about food, so that you can successfully lose weight, get healthy, and live a happy, fulfilling life without costly and frustrating fad diets. About the author: Jason Lillis, PhD, is assistant professor of research at the Alpert Medical School of Brown University and a clinical psychologist at the Miriam Hospital in Providence, RI. He is coauthor of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and a leading ACT-for-weight-loss research scientist.

Guest: Martin Miner, MD Host: Larry Kaskel, MD Are younger men with erectile dysfunction (ED) at considerably higher risk of heart disease, and if so, why? It is known that the condition can be an important predictor of coronary events, but with men under age fifty, it appears there is an interval between the onset of ED and the onset of heart trouble. Could this change our approach to treating younger men with ED, and perhaps delaying or preventing cardiovascular disease? Dr. Martin Miner, co-director of the Men's Health Center at Miriam Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, explains how he would evaluate the younger patient who presents with erectile dysfunction in this conversation with host Dr. Larry Kaskel.
