I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Couple of quick updates from the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference. Dexcom's CEO Kevin Sayer expects to launch a 15-day sensor in the second half of the year. That's in front of the FDA right now. Competitor Abbott currently has 15-day sensors with its Freestyle Libre 2 Plus and Freestyle Libre 3 Plus devices, which the FDA cleared in 2023. Sayer also talked about expanded insurance coverage for the G7, to include more people with type 2. They haven't pursued that with Stelo, the OTC version of their sensors. The company has begun work on a next-generation CGM. Sayer said the sensor will be smaller, less expensive and include better electronics. Dexcom is also studying new sensor probes, one of which can support multiple analytes, such as measuring lactate or ketones in addition to insulin.   https://www.medtechdive.com/news/dexcom-ceo-stelo-otc-strategy-jp-morgan/737424/ XX TrialNet reaches a big milestone – more than a quarter million people have learned their risk of developing T1D through screening. TrialNet screening is available to family members of those diagnosed with T1D. Having a family history of the disease places individuals at a 15 times greater risk than those with no family members with T1D. Over the course of VUMC's 18 years participating in the program, the community of T1D patients has become increasingly more engaged with research efforts. More than ever, there is an eagerness to give back to others by participating in clinical trials that could help revolutionize care for those diagnosed with or at risk of developing T1D. In such trials, TrialNet typically takes drugs already shown to be effective in treating other autoimmune diseases and seeks to determine their efficacy in treating, delaying or preventing T1D.   Spencer Mannahan, a 10-year-old patient at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt, is participating in a TrialNet study that is looking to determine whether a treatment regimen using both rituximab and abatacept can preserve insulin production in patients newly diagnosed with T1D. Russell, one of the PIs for the study (Protocol TN-25), also treated Spencer's father, Zach, when he was diagnosed with T1D as a child. She enrolled in a different TrialNet study (Protocol TN-31) examining the effect of abrocitinib and ritlecitinib on insulin production in newly diagnosed individuals. While the possibility exists that her insulin production could be preserved, O'Neal joined the study because it presented an opportunity to make a positive impact on future patients.     These clinical trials support TrialNet's goal of a future without T1D. Research is underway on new methods of blocking the advance of T1D in patients with diabetes-related antibodies. One study will investigate whether T cells that have been activated against insulin can be specifically targeted, rather than issuing a treatment that targets all the body's T cells (thus rendering the patient immunocompromised).   TrialNet, the largest clinical trial network assembled to change the course of Type 1 diabetes, is funded by the National Institutes of Health through grant number NCT00097292.   For more information about screening for Type 1 diabetes risk if it runs in your family, contact info@trialnet.org, visit www.trialnet.org, or contact the Vanderbilt Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet Program at 615-936-8638. https://news.vumc.org/2025/01/22/milestone-in-vumc-affiliated-diabetes-screening-and-research-program-underscores-impact-of-clinical-trials/   XX Another study links air pollution to type 2 diabetes. This is from Wayne State University, and established a robust association between exposure to benzene, a prevalent airborne volatile organic compound, and insulin resistance in humans across all ages. “In this study, we exposed mice to benzene to see how it affects their blood glucose levels and energy expenditure,” she explained. “Our research revealed that within seven days of exposure, they developed high blood glucose insulin levels.” https://today.wayne.edu/medicine/news/2025/01/23/study-links-air-pollution-exposure-to-type-2-diabetes-susceptibility-65321 XX Adults with overweight or obesity and type 2 diabetes who are given the sodium glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitor drug dapagliflozin alongside moderate calorie restriction achieve much higher rates of remission compared with calorie restriction alone. The researchers say this study provides a practical strategy to achieve remission for patients with early type 2 diabetes. As well as helping to lower blood sugar levels, SGLT-2 inhibitors can also lead to weight loss, but their effect alongside calorie restriction on diabetes remission has not yet been investigated in a randomised controlled trial.   To address this, researchers carried out a trial involving 328 patients with type 2 diabetes of less than six years' duration at 16 centres in mainland China from 12 June 2020 to 31 January 2023.   Participants were aged 20-70 years with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 25 and were not taking any anti-diabetic medication other than metformin. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250123/Dapagliflozin-and-calorie-restriction-show-higher-remission-rates-in-type-2-diabetes.aspx XX Beta Bionics has set the terms for its plan to go public, with a goal of raising at least $114 million to support its artificial pancreas system for people with Type 1 diabetes. That's as we're recroding, it's likely they will have begun trading on the NASDAQ by now.. the ticker is BBNX. Beta Bionics' iLet system was first cleared by the FDA for people ages six and up with Type 1 diabetes in May 2023. The Fierce Medtech Fierce 15 winner has since expanded its blood sugar sensor compatibility to include Abbott's FreeStyle Libre and Dexcom's G6 and G7 platforms. The company also said it plans to pursue new clinical studies and an FDA clearance that would enable the iLet's use among people with Type 2 diabetes. The ultmite goal is to have a dual-chambered pump with both insulin and glucagon.. but I didn't find anything about that in the articles about this IPO.. I followed up with Beta Bionics and they told me that the dual chambered pump is still very much the goal. Not sure why most of the publications left that out.. but good to hear. https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/artificial-pancreas-maker-beta-bionics-aims-raise-120m-nasdaq-ipo XX Large new study estimates the size of the current US population with type 1 diabetes and project growth over the next ten years. They say about 2 million live with type 1.. about 1.79 million adults and 290-thousand children. Growth in the ten years is predicted to be about 10% https://jheor.org/article/124604 XX The American Diabetes Association® (ADA) teams up with Xeris Pharmaceuticals® makers of Gvoke – ready to use emergency glucagon. It is estimated that up to 46% of people with type 1 diabetes and 21% of those with type 2 diabetes using insulin experience at least one severe hypoglycemia event each year.2 The ADA, with support from Xeris, seeks to rectify the low rates of appropriate glucagon prescriptions by developing education materials and training resources for health care professionals and people living with diabetes, as well as through a national awareness campaign to educate people on who is at risk for severe hypoglycemia and should have glucagon, preferably ready-to-use, as a safety net. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/the-american-diabetes-association-and-xeris-pharmaceuticals-announce-national-collaboration-to-provide-life-saving-hypoglycemia-education-and-awareness-302355703.html XX XX Wearing a CGM makes pharmacy students better at counseling patients. New study randomly assigned students to wear a CGM during lab sessions.. those who did had a higher average counseling score during the encounter with a patient and a higher overall confidence score. There was also a statistically significant positive correlation between average confidence and average empathy, and empathy and counseling performance. https://www.drugtopics.com/view/hands-on-cgm-training-helps-student-pharmacists-prepare-for-career XX Mark Andrews Bills Mafia Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews received a host of negative attention after flubbing a potential game-tying two-point conversion in Sunday night's loss to the Buffalo Bills.   In the face of the online rage, Bills Mafia is again showing some support.   Bills fan Nicholas Howard kicked off a GoFundMe to back Breakthrough T1D, a global Type 1 diabetes research organization that Andrews has supported.   "As many of you know, Ravens TE wasn't able to catch the game-tying 2-point conversion and upset Ravens fans," Howard wrote. "On top of that, the TE has been receiving death threats and nasty comments after his performance last night. We want Bills Mafia to donate to Marks charity for [Type 1] diabetes."   As of Wednesday morning, the fund raised more than $50,000 for the charity.   Related Links Lamar Jackson, Ravens bemoan missed opportunities in loss to Bills, defend Mark Andrews Ravens WR Zay Flowers: Missing 2024 playoff run due to injury 'took a little toll on me' Biggest winners and losers from Sunday's Divisional Round NFL playoff games The Ravens thanked Bills fans for supporting Andrews.     "Shout out to Bills Mafia for showing support to our guy Mark Andrews and donating to the [BreakthroughT1D] organization, which works towards curing and improving the lives of those dealing with Type 1 diabetes," the club posted.   Andrews was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes as a child, an autoimmune disease for which there is currently no cure. He's one of several NFL players diagnosed with Type 1 -- Kansas City Chiefs tight end Noah Gray is another.   "Breakthrough T1D [formerly JDRF] greatly appreciates the generosity of the Buffalo Bills community and the many fans who were compelled to donate after Sunday's game," the organization said in a statement to ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg. "These donations will support research and advocacy on behalf of the 1.6 million Americans who, like Mark Andrews, live with type 1 diabetes."   It's not the first time that Bills fans have donated to the cause of a non-Buffalo player. Back in January 2018, Buffalo fans famously donated to the charity of former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton after his win over Baltimore helped Buffalo make its first playoff appearance in nearly two decades. Over and over again, Bills Mafia has shown it will support a good cause when some spew hate. https://www.nfl.com/news/bills-fans-supporting-ravens-te-mark-andrews-after-drop-by-donating-to-type-1-diabetes-research

***Trigger warning: this episode includes discussion of child abuse*** In our last episode, Identifying abuse: the LCAST app, we talked about recognizing subtle signs concerning for child abuse and how to use the new LCAST app to determine the risk of non-accidental trauma. But identifying potential abuse is just the first step in a long and often emotionally taxing process. How do you approach parents or caregivers with your concerns? What do you do if a caregiver doesn't want to cooperate with your extended work-up? What information should you share with them? And how do we avoid bringing our own biases into the room? These are tough conversations.  Our guest experts, Dr. Emily Fain and Dr. Elena Duma, and our own Dr. Julia Magaña are experts in this field. They walk us through how to approach these conversations in a compassionate and straightforward manner, centering the safety of the child as everyone's primary concern.  How do you approach these challenging conversations?

Description: Host Ryan Piansky is joined by co-host Mary Jo Strobel, APFED's Executive Director, to talk with guest, Girish Hiremath, MD, MPH, about the transition of care for people living with eosinophilic disorders from pediatric to adult providers.   Dr. Hiremath is a pediatric gastroenterologist at Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt in Tennessee. His clinical practice focuses on pediatric patients with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders and his research concentrates on the epidemiology, diagnosis, and optimal management strategies to advance clinical outcomes in individuals affected by eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases, in general, and eosinophilic esophagitis, in particular.   In this episode, Ryan and Mary Jo discuss with Dr. Hiremath transition in health care from a pediatric to adult setting, his recently, published research on transition of care, and his interdisciplinary research program at Vanderbilt. Strategies to help facilitate transition and ages to do so, common barriers, and teaching children skills to manage their health are also discussed.     Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is designed to support, not replace the relationship that exists between listeners and their healthcare providers. Opinions, information, and recommendations shared in this podcast are not a substitute for medical advice. Decisions related to medical care should be made with your healthcare provider. Opinions and views of guests and co-hosts are their own.   Key Takeaways: [1:10] Ryan welcomes co-host Mary Jo Strobel. Mary Jo introduces the topic: transition of care from pediatric to adult providers, and the episode guest, Dr. Girish Hiremath. Mary Jo welcomes Dr. Hiremath to the podcast.   [2:33] After medical school in India, Dr. Hiremath served in the Indian Navy. Later, he traveled to the U.S. to pursue a Master's in Public Health at Johns Hopkins. He completed his pediatric residency at INOVA Fairfax Hospital for Children in Virginia and his pediatric GI fellowship at Texas Children's Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine.   [3:03] Dr. Hiremath joined Vanderbilt in 2015. He has taken care of numerous children with gastrointestinal problems. He has also had the unique opportunity to focus on eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs) and build a multi-disciplinary EGID clinic to provide evidence-based care to pediatric EGID patients, and he developed an interdisciplinary research program.   [4:03] Pediatric gastroenterologists will typically treat patients from newborn up to age 18 but there is some variability. Some facilities will treat patients of up to 22 years. The pediatric healthcare provider will look for the right time to transition the pediatric patient to an adult healthcare provider, based on the patient's readiness and maturity.   [4:44] The pediatric healthcare provider will assess if the patient is stable to transition to an adult healthcare provider. If the patient is not doing well from a disease standpoint, it may not be the time to transition this patient. The provider will hold on, stabilize the patient and get them on a good trajectory to transition to an adult healthcare provider.   [5:41] Chronic diseases, such as EGIDs, are being identified early in life, in the pediatric age group. Many chronic conditions do not have a definitive cure. Pediatric patients with chronic disease carry their disease into adulthood. The transition of care is very important so they continue to receive due care and guidance to manage their condition.   [6:17] The National Alliance to Advance Adolescent Health describes transition of care as the process of moving from a child- or family-centered model of healthcare to an adult- or patient-centered model of healthcare, with or without transferring to a new clinician. It involves planning, transfer, and integration into adult-centered healthcare.   [6:41] A successful healthcare transition program will involve a flow of information through multiple stakeholders. The most important stakeholder is the patient on the verge of adulthood. Some other stakeholders are the parents, patient's caregivers, healthcare providers, and patient advocacy groups, which play a big role in education.   [7:20] A transition program can be considered a success if it can improve the ability of the youth and young adults to manage their healthcare and effectively use health services. It's an organized process with an emphasis on getting the patients integrated into adult-centered healthcare from child/parent-centered healthcare.   [8:26] In April 2022, Dr. Hiremath contributed to a publication on transition of care for patients with EGID. The co-authors were a team of experts in EGIDs, including pediatric gastroenterologists, adult gastroenterologists, allergists and immunologists, and experts from Europe and the U.S. on transition of care. It was a great team effort.   [9:11] They reviewed data from other chronic conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease and asthma, where relatively more research has been done on transition of care from pediatric-based to adult-based healthcare. Like EGIDs, these conditions can be debilitating and require long-term therapy and office-based assessments and testing.   [9:40] Understanding approaches used for other medical conditions to transition care can help the EGID field identify opportunities for smoother transfer of care. They found that from the patients' perspective, there is a lack of awareness, and suboptimal adherence and compliance to medical therapies, one of the critical challenges that have been well-documented in the field.   [10:02] Factors that contribute to these problems are the patients' young ages and their lack of understanding about the disease's activity status. For example, there is sometimes a perceived lack of benefit of medication when a patient is feeling well. That age group also exhibits risk-taking behaviors. Plus, education about insurance coverage is helpful.   [10:44] All these factors contribute to understanding how to make transition of care more efficient. There are health-system-related issues, too. The providers have a lack of time to focus on the transition of care and education related to that. There is not enough institutional support. There is little reimbursement for services provided.   [11:17] These are barriers that have been well-described for other chronic conditions that also apply to EGID patients.   [11:40] Ideally, transition of care of EGID patients should focus on the continuity of care through a shared decision-making process.   [11:55] It can be helpful to allow adolescents to be independent in care management decisions and to create a comfortable and supportive environment for transitioning to adult care.    [12:19] The research team also felt that the transition programs for EGID should be a continuing process that facilitates ongoing quality improvement and learning for all stakeholders.   [12:39] Dr. Hiremath and his team were surprised by how little attention has been paid to the transition of care for young EGID patients. Some patients feel good and are not convinced that EoE is a chronic, progressive disease so they do not think much about continued care in their transition to adulthood. There are also provider gaps.   [13:17] The disease process of EoE is not fully understood. Other chronic diseases have been studied longer and the disease process is better known. This highlights a great opportunity for researchers to systematically study transition of care and make important contributions to the field.   [14:34] There are differences between working with a pediatric doctor and an adult provider. Pediatric providers are part of the family-centered care environment where the patient, parents, and providers are engaged in creating a treatment plan. Adult providers are part of the patient-centered care model, interacting directly with patients.   [15:16] EoE presents differently among different age groups. Pediatric providers take care of EoE patients in the inflammatory phase. The adult providers will often see EoE patients when they present with complications such as strictures or food impactions.    [15:51] Ryan recalls how, as a pediatric patient, his parents were involved in his care and also expected him to be involved and to help make decisions about treatments.   [16:47] In his clinical practice, Dr. Hiremath initiates the process of transition of care when a patient is 12 or 13 years old. He starts with a conversation and introduces the concept of getting the child involved in the decision-making process about their ongoing treatment, changes in treatment, and when to do an endoscopy. He encourages the child to participate.   [17:27] Dr. Hiremath encourages patients to educate themselves on the disease. Vanderbilt has the EoE Education Clinic to educate parents and patients. The transition of care is a part of that discussion, about transitioning into adulthood and having an adult healthcare provider.   [18:11] Parents need to research adult gastroenterologists in their area who will be able to assume care of their adolescent child when they are ready to transition. This involves logistics such as travel and insurance coverage. Giving parents time to think through the issues will make the process more seamless.   [19:19] A child's doctor may be able to recommend an adult provider. In his practice, Dr. Hiremath makes referrals to EoE gastroenterologists within the Vanderbilt system for a seamless transition.[21:15] The goal is a seamless transition from pediatric to adult care. Unfortunately, there's no single model program that fits all clinics and patients. Structured transition models improve treatment plan adherence and chronic disease control. However, for EGID patients, a diverse group of providers is involved and they all play a critical role.   [22:00] With such a variety of providers, it's hard to have one standard transition model but there is a specialized-disease-based approach that focuses on engaging adolescent EGID patients and their caregivers, and the stakeholders can facilitate the progression of that care.   [22:18] This approach is often very personnel-heavy. It has to be tailored to the needs of the specific institutions, and it requires considerable resources for implementation and delivery. It cannot be translated from Institution “A” to Institution “B.” Each provider at the institution has to assess what they can offer, can afford, and what is most efficient.   [23:33] Dr. Hiremath tells how he introduces the topic of transition of care with the intent to give the parents and the patient enough time to think through the process of finding an adult provider without being rushed and educate themselves on what the options are.   [26:29] Transitioning from a pediatric provider to an adult provider is an important period. A patient who feels good may think, “I've conquered EoE,” ignoring that it's a chronic progressive disease. Or it may be difficult to locate an adult gastroenterologist who treats EoE patients. These factors contribute to a loss of follow-up.   [27:55] Dr. Hiremath explains some of the concerns he hears from patients transitioning to adult care. They have questions about who to call for prescription refills and to set up their next endoscopy. As they turn 18, they are quite knowledgeable about managing their disease but they need to know a lot more about the logistics of the transition.   [29:11] There is a limited understanding of the differences between symptoms, diagnostic testing, and treatment in children versus adult patients. In the adult world, there are limited allergists and immunologists who focus on EGIDs. There are fewer adult gastroenterologists who focus on EGIDs.   [29:44] There's a lack of training in transitional care and there are very few transitional programs. The electronic health record platforms of the two institutions may not talk to each other. Information can drop between the cracks. There is limited funding for infrastructure, educational materials, or administrative support for a transition program.   [30:38] In the U.S., the patient's insurance plays an important role in continued healthcare, specifically for EGID-related care. In some cases, it determines who the patient gets to see, how often they can receive procedures, and what medications and doses are covered. The kind of insurance can dictate the depth of care in the U.S.   [31:39] EGIDs and EoE are chronic, progressive diseases. They are here to stay for a long time and they advance slowly but surely. If medications or treatments are stopped, the patient is at risk of developing complications. In EoE, people with poorly-controlled inflammation are at higher risk of complications.   [32:18] People who are not adherent to their treatment plan are at a higher risk to develop complications, such as strictures or food impactions, requiring urgent or emergent endoscopy. Patients who have inflammation that is not well-controlled tend to withdraw from social circles, and avoid eating with friends. This affects emotional well-being.   [33:53] Dr. Hiremath emphasizes again that EGIDs are chronic, progressive diseases. There will be periods where a patient will be feeling great and asymptomatic or will be compensating for their symptoms. The key is to control inflammation and minimize the future risk of complications. This requires long-term medical treatment.   [34:20] Prepare early to transition to adult care. The child doesn't have to know every medication, dose, and frequency, but start by explaining to the child about the medication they are taking. Over time, the patient will take ownership. Dr. Hiremath talks to both his patients and their parents.   [36:10] Mary Jo thanks Dr. Hiremath for talking about transition of care and participating in the podcast and she asks Dr. Hiremath about additional resources for patients.   [36:21] Online resources Dr. Hiremath recommends include GotTransition.org, The American Academy of Pediatrics, and sites for other chronic diseases that have information on the transition of care, such as Crohn's & Colitis Foundation.    [37:58] Ryan shares the APFED links shown below to find resources and specialists who treat eosinophilic-related diseases and to make connections with others impacted with eosinophilic diseases by joining APFED's online community.   [38:35] Ryan thanks Dr. Hiremath for sharing his research and experiences.   Mentioned in This Episode: American Partnership for Eosinophilic Disorders (APFED) APFED on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram Girish Hiremath, MD, MPH Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt “Transition of care of patients with eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases: Challenges and opportunities” by Girish Hiremath, Adrian Chapa-Rodriguez, David A.

Pediatricians get up every day thinking about how to meet the needs of children. And very often we forget about our own health. In this episode of Pediatric Meltdown, Dr. Lia and Dr. Michelle Fiscus discusses physician burnout, what it means to face identity challenges as a physician, and overcoming these challenges.  Dr. Michelle Fiscus is a board-certified pediatrician who practiced general pediatrics in Franklin, TN for 17 years before joining the Tennessee Department of Health in 2016. She most recently served as medical director of the Tennessee Vaccine-Preventable Diseases and Immunization Program until she was terminated from that position for sharing a memo regarding a 34-year-old case law that allows certain minors to consent for their own medical care. Dr. Fiscus was thrust into the national spotlight after she released a statement shedding light on the choice of those in leadership in Tennessee state government to place their political agendas over the best interest of the people they serve. She has used this platform to support the work of public health and reinforce the importance of vaccines and other public health measures in ending the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Fiscus is an associate clinical professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt. She is a past president of the Tennessee Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and now serves on the Board of Directors of the American Academy of Pediatrics as District IV Chair.   [00:01] Dr. MIchelle Fiscus Shares Her Story With Us Why she went into pediatrics  Suffering from significant burnout that led her to Public Health Going into the Vaccine-Preventable Diseases and Immunization Program [11:52] Covid-19, the Vaccine Rollout, and Controversy  Dr. Fiscus' role in COVID mitigation and responses Tennessee's hesitation in promoting COVID-19 vaccines Controversy and pushback regarding vaccination in Tennessee Dr. Fiscus choosing to acknowledge the expiration of her executive service [21:06] The Interference of Politics and Public Health The overstepping of political opinion into COVID-19 management  Dr. Fiscus' exposure to National and International news  How it's been for Dr. Fiscus and the difficulty and challenges of this exposure The toll on mental health when facing criticism and pushback  [32:54] Being a Disruptor in Pediatrics What's next for Dr. Fiscus?   Pediatricians taking the darkest punches and overcoming challenges  If you could go back to when you were in residency what would you tell yourself?   [42:57] Closing Segment   Connect with Dr. Michelle Fiscus on twitter @drfixus Final takeaways: Pursue your passion  Burn out looks like exhaustion  and unhappiness Being a pediatrician can look like many things  The right thing keeps me going; I can move the needle, I am a problem solver, I will hold others accountable in the face of misinformation Key Quotes: “If you know that there's something that you would just love, then figure out how to go get it. You have to make yourself a little bit vulnerable to get there. But don't be afraid to pursue the thing that you think is going to make you happiest.” - Dr. Michelle Fiscus “I honestly couldn't stomach the interference of politics in public health. Just the unwillingness to understand that the decisions that are being made affect real lives and are causing real deaths and real suffering, and real orphans and real impact to our healthcare system.” - Dr. Michelle Fiscus “As you get up every day and think about how to meet the needs of kids, remember to give yourself a moment of grace. “ - Dr. Lia Gaggino  Connect with Dr. Fiscus on twitter @drfixus If you'd like to connect with me, you can find me on https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-lia-gaggino-80322a31/ (LinkedIn), https://www.facebook.com/DrLiaGaggino/...

Host: John J. Russell, MD Guest: Thomas Doyle, MD About 40,000 babies are born with Congenital Heart Disease each year, making it one of the most common birth defects and causes of infant death in the US. CHD is usually present at birth but shows very few outward signs and, in most cases has no known cause or origin. New and evolving surgical techniques, along with the dawn of pediatric heart transplant, are transforming the field of pediatric cardiology and offer new options for CHD patients. Host Dr. John Russell talks with Dr. Thomas Doyle about how continued research, improved surgical treatments and, emerging technology have altered the course of treatment for CHD, resulting in approximately 69% of children with CHD now living to age 18. Dr. Thomas Doyle is the Ann and Monroe Carell Jr. Family Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Vanderbilt University. Dr. Doyle was a 2016 Project Heart CHD research grant recipient.

Host Dr. Mark Nolan Hill talks with Dr. Christian about the medical logistics involved in bringing this girl to the U.S. for surgery.

Guest: Karla Christian, MD Host: Mark Nolan Hill, MD Despite the tremendous conflict in Iraq, there have been many medical miracles. One such story centers around Amenah Al-Bayati, a young Iraqi girl found ill by a United States Marine Corps battalion surgeon, who suspected the girl had a potentially life-threatening heart condition, fixable only by immediate surgery. Amenah was subsequently brought to the United States for this complex, life-saving surgery, performed by Dr. Karla Christian at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital in Nashville. After her exhaustive journey from Iraq, Amenah had developed a series of infections. Dr. Christian and her team discovered Amenah's heart condition to be more intricate than originally suspected. How did these developments affect planning for the little girl's surgery? Further, Amenah's case received significant national media attention for many reasons. How did Dr. Christian handle the additional media demands while preparing to perform an already complex procedure?
