Some topics in pediatrics are flashy — like seizures, mystery rashes and fevers. While those often make headlines, others, like pediatric nephrology, are a routine but critical part of daily practice. Understanding these bread-and-butter issues is essential to diagnosing so many patients. Protein in the urine, blood pressure creeping up or a UTI that is more than ‘just a UTI' are often signs that something may be wrong with the kidneys. In this episode, we examine those practical essentials and learn how PCPs can feel confident in managing these diagnoses. This episode was recorded on the exhibit floor of the 2025 Pediatric Academic Societies Conference in Honolulu, Hawaii. Joining us for this episode are Bradley Warady, MD, and Nathan Bines, MD, both from Children's Mercy Kansas City and the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. Dr. Warady is the Director of the Division of Nephrology, a Professor of Pediatrics and the McLaughlin Family Endowed Chair in Nephrology. Dr. Beins is the Associate Program Director for the Pediatric Nephrology Fellowship Training Program, as well as a Clinical Associate Professor of Pediatrics. Some highlights from this episode include:  Understanding the core kidney issues in general pediatrics  How to identify these conditions early  The difference between benign findings and red flags  Tools for friendly language about topics that might be sensitive or embarrassing for a child  For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

There are genetic risks associated with MS, there are demographic risks of experiencing a more severe disease course, and there are also behavioral and lifestyle risks that will increase the chance that someone will be diagnosed with MS. Joining me today to discuss behavioral and lifestyle MS risk factors and how they can be mitigated are Doctor Jared Bruce and Dr. Amanda Bruce. Dr. Jared Bruce is a neuropsychologist and the director of psychiatric research at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine. Dr. Amanda Bruce is a clinical psychologist and an assistant professor in the Department of Behavioral Pediatrics at the University of Kansas Medical Center. We're also reviewing the details of the Inflation Reduction Act, which means, beginning in 2025, significantly lower out-of-pocket costs for prescription medications for the quarter-million people with MS who are on Medicare.  We'll tell you about study results for a novel drug that was effective in remyelination and restoring lost function to mice with the mouse model of MS. We'll share the details of a study that shows how specific comorbidities affect specific MS outcomes. We'll review results of a study that shows men with MS who start a high-efficacy disease-modifying therapy experience fewer relapses. And we'll tell you how an artificial intelligence chatbot soundly beat human experts in predicting the results of neuroscience studies. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

Women in Medicine Month is celebrated to honor the contributions of women in the medical field. For Dr. Sheela Vivekanandan, she knew she wanted to practice medicine at the age of six years old.  “My sister was a brain cancer survivor, is a brain cancer survivor, and she was diagnosed at age nine. So, I was six. So that's what really drove me into medicine because we were always in and out of the hospital. And I really, I liked her neurosurgeon the best because he was the most encouraging, “said Dr. Vivekanandan. From there, Sheela decided she was going to become a neurosurgeon. For Dr. Kit Lu, she also had a personal connection to becoming a doctor. “My grandmother, unfortunately, was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer when I was in high school, and she ultimately passed from her breast cancer because, you know, she unfortunately didn't really get a lot of screening upfront. And so, by the time she was diagnosed, she was diagnosed with stage four cancer. So just kind of seeing her journey and her battle with breast cancer really prompted me to become a breast medical oncologist as well, because, you know, there's definitely a human side of medicine communicating with not just the patient, but also the family and really understanding kind of, you know, cancer doesn't hit just one person, but it hits the whole community and the whole family, “said Dr. Lu. Kit Lu, MD completed her fellowship program at National Institutes of Health, medical school at Florida State University, and a residency program at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Sheela Vivekanandan, MD earned her medical degree from the University of Missouri – Kansas City School of Medicine and completed her neurological surgery residency at Geisinger Medical Center, followed by a neurosurgery fellowship at the University of Utah. Women in the medical field can face many challenges including breaking stigmas associated with women in the medical field. Something both Kit and Sheela experienced. “There has been such a stigma that women have not been represented, represented in medicine. And even as I was starting to get into the field, it seemed like there were more females that were joined just like slightly more, maybe like 52% more, something more females that were joining medicine versus males. But certainly still within the subspecialties, there's still quite a stigma of women like, for example, like in neurosurgery, like there's not that many women neurosurgeons. There's very few and less by neurosurgeons who are women. So, there's there's quite a bit of stigma associated with women in neurosurgery. And I think even now, probably Dr. Kate will attest to this, like, you know, it doesn't happen as much anymore now that I'm an attending and patients actually recognize me. But sometimes if I'm seeing someone in console in the hospital, they'll say, you know, my nurses here or so you know, like you're Rite Aid is here. They don't recognize that females are also doctors. It's just so ingrained in people's heads that it's this white male with this type of scope in a jacket. And it's it is at times kind of disheartening, and you just have to shake it off, “said Vivekanandan. “I think in medicine it was predominantly male centric and also heavy male leadership role in in in medicine. So, a lot of males go into medicine and then they also take on to a lot of leadership or kind of like the kind of more prominent academic roles. I think more and more that has changed. I think a lot of institutions are very well aware of the gender gaps and they're trying to close the gender gap, which is great. But I think a lot of times, you know, as a female, we go into medicine and sometimes we are seen as nurses by the patients. And also, you know, I think sometimes in in our roles and some people may see us as, okay, well, we're going to take care of patients, but then we may be only working part time or we're not committed to medicine because then we have to go home and take care of family. But, you know, I like to you know, I would like kind of the community and also, you know, our women who are listening to this program to really understand that we need to start breaking down these gender stereotypes. And, you know, many of us are empowered to do more than just one thing, right? We can be a good physician, give great quality care, and we can also be leaders, and we also can be good mothers. You know, so I think it's powerful for us as the women. We can do it all well. So, and I really think that, you know, programs like this can empower young, younger women to know that, you know, is not sacrificing one versus another. I think, you know, we just have to give more women more opportunities to lead in medicine, “said Lu. Both women spoke about why representation is so important to inspire the next generation of female doctors. “As a woman and also as a minority, I come from a Chinese background. I think it's important to have good representation for women in general and also for different diversity in our feel. I think coming from a different background and being a woman, we're just more sensitive to kind of the different values of patience. You know, again, every patient had their own story, their own values, their own beliefs. So being attuned to the differences in terms of representation, in terms of their cultural beliefs and and gender belief would be important as we take care of the patients because their values and their belief could be different than mine. I also think that, you know, in research, women and also minorities are historically underrepresented in research. And so, a lot of the outcomes and what we know about diseases could be different across different backgrounds. So, it is important to increase that diversity and to increase the gender representation in research so that we can advance medicine, “said Lu. “Making sure that women are represented because like you said, I've had patients come to me and say, you know, like females in particular, they're like, well, I could never talk to this, talk about this X, Y, Z problem with a male physician. So just having more people involved in the medical field who basically look like you are relatable. It really helps foster that relationship because the more you trust to your physician, the more you're the better your care is going to be, quite frankly. But yeah, and you know, there's quite a lot, especially in women's health, that does go under researched. Like I think we all might have heard about, like how CDC was talking about mandating like pain control for IUD insertion and things like that that have historically been just overlooked for so long. So, I think having more women in the field, I guess, gives all of us better care, better quality care and more opportunities for growth, “said Vivekanandan.          Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our interview with Alyssa Hodges, who you may remember from our episode on divorce, talks about everything moms need to know, including why Taylor Swift needs a trust not a will! Alyssa wrote an article for us on estate planning. She writes, "We teach our kids to look both ways when crossing the street and to wash their hands (stomach flu fear lives #RentFree in my head). We teach them not to talk to strangers and to be aware of their surroundings. We worry about the immediate dangers. But we have to cover the long-term dangers, too."

Welcome to an interview with the authors of Fair Shake: Women and the Fight to Build a Just Economy, Naomi Cahn, June Carbone, and Nancy Levit. This book explains that the system that governs our economy—a winner-take-all economy—is the root cause of these myriad problems. The WTA economy self-selects for aggressive, cutthroat business tactics, which creates a feedback loop that sidelines women. The authors, three legal scholars, call this feedback loop “the triple bind”: if women don't compete on the same terms as men, they lose; if women do compete on the same terms as men, they're punished more harshly for their sharp elbows or actual misdeeds; and when women see that they can't win on the same terms as men, they take themselves out of the game (if they haven't been pushed out already). With odds like these stacked against them, it's no wonder women feel like, no matter how hard they work, they can't get ahead.   Naomi Cahn is the Justice Anthony M.

This video features Dr. Ruba Abdelhadi, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine and Director of Nutrition Support at Children's Mercy Hospital. She serves on the ASPEN Board of Directors and also serves on the National Board of Physician Nutrition Specialists. Dr. Abdelhadi developed an interest in nutrition when she was asked to step in and develop a one-week nutrition curriculum for medical students. She was surprised to learn that there is no dedicated nutrition content in undergraduate and medical education. Dr. Abdelhadi shared two priorities. The first is to identify malnutrition in every clinical encounter and not miss out on opportunities to address it. The other is to provide nutrition education to all medical students, regardless of their area of specialty or education level. She emphasizes the importance of collaboration, noting that multidisciplinary work offers so much to not only patients but also professionals. Dr. Abdelhadi recommends that young professionals identify their passion and then find opportunities in all scholarly areas—teaching, clinical work, and service. She recommends joining a society such as ASPEN to find opportunities, meet people, collaborate on projects and papers, and serve the community. Physician Spotlight is a forum for outstanding Senior Leaders, Young Rising Stars, and International Colleagues in the field of nutrition to discuss important topics and ideas that impact patient care.

Medical schools need to provide opportunities to socialize and speak to other students so one can open up, not feel isolated and learn to work together in a collaborative environment. She believes that being at a school where her concerns were addressed and "listened to" really helped in feeling welcome and helped her succeed. Her pearls for us: Being vulnerable is normal Don't sweat the small stuff Celebrate yourself and your accomplishments even if they feel small. Validate yourself! Build your confidence and believe in yourselves. We are all capable since we have landed in these places. Invest in yourself and try to find other things that give you joy. Take up a hobby early on.
