Could our healthcare system be making us sicker rather than healthier? In the UK, autism diagnoses have increased by a staggering 787% between 1998 and 2018, and one in five people now has some form of mental health disorder. But what if some of our health struggles aren't diseases to be cured, but normal human experiences being medicalised? This week, I'm joined by Dr Suzanne O'Sullivan, a consultant in clinical neurophysiology and neurology at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, who specialises in the investigation of complex epilepsy and also has an active interest in psychogenic disorders.  Her latest book, The Age of Diagnosis: Sickness, Health, and Why Medicine Has Gone Too Far, aims to challenge long-held assumptions about medical progress and change the way we think about our health.  In this thought-provoking conversation, we explore: Why giving someone a diagnosis is never neutral – it can fundamentally change how a person views themselves, their body and their future possibilities How the definition of autism has dramatically expanded over the past few decades from its original concept of "extreme autistic aloneness" to now potentially including 1 in 20 children in Northern Ireland Why screening for diseases like prostate cancer can lead to unnecessary treatment The potential problems of genetic testing - when results are misinterpreted or used without proper context, especially with tests that aren't clinical grade Why early detection and treatment aren't always better, particularly when it turns healthy people into patients decades before they might develop symptoms The profound story of how Suzanne diagnosed a rare genetic condition in a 15-year-old girl, only to question whether she had actually done the right thing by medicalising someone who believed herself to be healthy This is a nuanced, compassionate discussion that challenges many of the widely held assumptions in modern healthcare and I would urge you to listen with an open mind. Throughout our conversation, Suzanne emphasises that she's not arguing against the existence of these conditions or suggesting everyone should refuse diagnosis. Rather, she encourages both patients and doctors to consider whether medicalising our struggles is always the right approach. I hope you enjoy listening.   Support the podcast and enjoy Ad-Free episodes.

Transforming Chronic Pain Treatment with a Lean, Data-focused Development StrategyBased in Washington, DC, AlgometRx has developed a technology platform that will let clinicians perform objective pain assessments to improve treatments for chronic pain.In Episode 37 of the MedTech Speed to Data Podcast, Key Tech's Andy Rogers and AlgometRx Chief Operating Officer Kevin Jackson discuss how collecting the right data sped the Nociometer platform's development.Need to knowPain diagnosis is challenging — Patients self-report their experience, which is inherently subjective and variable.Pain treatment involves trial and error — Finding the right treatment plan often requires a months-long iterative process.Risks of inappropriate drug treatments increase — Poor understanding of pain's causes leads to the over-prescription of the wrong drugs, a contributing factor to the opiate crisis.The nitty-grittyAlgometRx's technology platform emerged from research by the company's founder, Dr. Julia Finkel at Children's National Hospital. A pediatric anesthesiologist, Dr. Finkel must assess pain in children who lack the words to describe their experiences.“She wanted something that she could use in clinic to help better understand patients' pain,” Jackson explains. “Something that's simple enough that anyone could use in a variety of settings.”The Nociometer platform selectively activates nerve fibers and evaluates the patient's physical response — without causing additional pain.“We're able to identify the physiologic underpinnings of that pain experience, and that allows clinicians to better understand what's happening.”An objective assessment of the patient's pain lets the clinician make faster, better-informed decisions, but the real value will come from monitoring treatments. Rather than waiting three months to see if a treatment works, patients can return to the clinic a week later for a follow-up measurement. “That gives the clinician different information they wouldn't have had, Jackson says. “We can get right to the root of it, and you avoid six, seven, eight visits.”Data that made the difference:AlgometRx discussed this first-of-its-kind technology with the FDA before developing its proof-of-concept prototype. “We had this novel concept of a pain biomarker and device, so we wanted to know how we would even bring a device like this [to market].” FDA feedback informed a development strategy focused on gathering data from specific populations.AlgometRx leveraged partnerships to support this focused strategy. Working with Johns Hopkins researchers under an NIH Sprint for Women's Health grant, AlgometRx is developing pain response data sets for patients with systemic lupus and carpal tunnel syndrome. The startup is also a member of JLABS, Johnson & Johnson Innovation's life sciences incubator, where they get valuable insight into the Nociometer platform's potential role in pharmaceutical research.Running a lean operation lets AlgometRx prioritize data. Jackson is the startup's only full-time paid employee. Dr. Finkel, AlgometRx's board, and a network of consultants and contractors bring their expertise as needed. “We don't have a robust employee base, but we have a robust team,” Jackson says. “We've run this lean approach where we only bring in people as needed. Obviously, our investors love that idea because it's spending money on device development and data generation.”

"Could this presenting syndrome be caused by a neurotoxin?" Oftentimes neurologists will pass over toxins when diagnosing. Yet disease caused by neurotoxins is widespread, with many having quite typical syndromes.  In the studio to discuss this is the first author of the October 2024 Editors' Choice paper, Dr. Frederick Vonberg¹. He draws attention to some hobbies and occupations to watch out for, the global prevalence of lead poisoning, presentations of botulism, and the origin of the infamous Mad Hatter syndrome.  Read the paper: Neurotoxicology: a clinical systems-based review 1.

Dr. Mark Van Duker and his wife Evelyn are starting off on the venture of a lifetime together. Michael Dinsio talks to them about trials and tribulations. The upcoming challenges when first opening the doors. He also asks the questions that are important when leading up to the Grand Opening. The Van Dukers nailed this episode and were super open and great sports talking about what it takes when you decide to do a dental practice start up. Dr. Mark became a dentist because his childhood hero was a dentist. His grandfather, a World War Two veteran from humble beginnings, became a dentist after the war. Dr. Mark has many fun memories of his grandfather, and ultimately chose dentistry to be more like him. Science was also a big part of Dr. Mark's life because his mother was an anatomy professor, always requiring him to work extra hard in science classes.During Dr. Mark's undergraduate education, he became interested in working with children. At that time, his nephew was diagnosed with autism. To better understand his brother's situation, Dr. Mark began volunteering with local programs that helped children with special needs. Through this he not only gained empathy for parents of children with special healthcare needs, but also had a lot of fun. He found that putting smiles on kids' faces and giving them individualized attention brought meaning to his life.Dr. Mark attended dental school at the highly ranked University of Washington School of Dentistry, followed by his pediatric dentistry residency at top-ranked Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. Dr. Mark's mentor in residency served on the leadership of the Board of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.Check out SuperMouth sponsors of this week's Pediatric series @supermoutth  https://www.supermouthpro.com/pro/nxlevelconsultantsThey offer an amazing product that you can sell in your practice and recieve 10-15% margins on all sales for the lifetime of that customer. 0:00 Intro Music

On November 11th, 2021, on day three of a solo multi-day ride on Arizona's Coconino Trail, seven-time world champion adventure athlete Rebecca Rusch clipped her handlebars on a protruding rock, launching her from her bike and into a ravine 10 feet below, where she hit the ground with enough force to bounce multiple times, breaking her helmet and badly bruising her ribs. After self-rescuing off the trail, Rebecca did what pretty much everyone told her to do: rest up and recover. Her ribs mended. Her brain, which had clearly been concussed, didn't. Now, going on three years later, we revisit the crash, what she did in the immediate aftermath, and how experts are thinking about the acute phases of concussion recovery today.Rebecca Rusch is an adventure athlete, 7x World Champion, and 2x Hall of Fame inductee for mountain biking and gravel cycling. She is also a keynote speaker, the bestselling author of Rusch to Glory, and an Emmy Award winner for the documentary Blood Road about her journey to find the spot where her father, a US Air Force pilot, was shot down during the Vietnam War. She is also the founder of the Be Good™ Foundation, which is dedicated to transforming individuals and communities by using the bicycle as a catalyst for healing, empowerment, and evolution. You can learn more about her and her work at rebeccarusch.com.This episode also features an interview with Christopher Vaughan, Psy.D., who presented on Rest and the Treatment of Concussion at the 12th Annual Sports Neuropsychology Society Symposium earlier this year.

Virtual Session, Thursday, August 1, 2024 Promoting Positive Childhood Experiences in Military Connected Children and Youth Promoting healthy child development necessitates a focus on positive childhood experiences (PCEs).  Though military life can provide children with a bounty of resources and opportunities, military children also routinely experiences the stressors associated with military life, such as parental separation and frequent moves.  Promoting PCEs in military children can help to buffer the impact of the unique challenges for military connected children and adolescents and can support their academic and future success.  This interactive workshop will first review the connection between adversity, positivity, and wellbeing, then discuss the four building blocks of the Healthy Outcomes from Positive Experiences (HOPE) model, and conclude with an opportunity for participants to discuss PCEs as they relate to military children, including a discussion of relevant community and advocacy organizations, whose programs promote PCEs in military children and adolescents. https://www.militarychild.org/event/gts/gts-register/   Healthy Outcomes From Positive Experiences (HOPE) https://positiveexperience.org/   Hidden Heroes- Elizabeth Dole Foundation https://hiddenheroes.org/   Operation Purple Camp- National Military Family Association https://www.militaryfamily.org/programs/operation-purple/operation-purple-camp/   The Military Child Well-being Toolkit https://www.militarychild.org/resource/wellbeing-toolkit/   Military OneSource https://www.militaryonesource.mil/non-medical-counseling/   Bio: Dr. Hisle-Gorman is Director of the Military Family Research Division and Associate Professor in the Department of Pediatrics. She began her career as a social worker working in neighborhood development efforts in Washington, DC to support and strengthen families to prevent family violence and overcome hardship. However, a move to a military town with her active-duty military spouse, re-focused her on work with military families. She served as a Child Protective Services officer in Onslow County, North Carolina and worked extensively with military families. After completing her Ph.D. in Social Work at the University of Maryland, Dr. Hisle-Gorman taught and worked in community development and was the senior author on one of the first articles to document the clinical effects of military deployment on children. She subsequently moved to USUHS to expand its research portfolio exploring the effects of military life on children. Her research interests are focused the impact of past military deployment on military children, effects of parental injury and family violence on pediatric health and mental health, and healthcare usage trends in military pediatrics. However, she has also worked on projects examining autism in children, indicators of immunization completion, neonatal health, care for transgender individuals, healthcare disparities, and the effects of medications on children. Dr. Hisle-Gorman has significant experience working with the Military Health System Data Repository and conducting retrospective research studies about military-connected children using the MDR. Dr. Hisle-Gorman most enjoys mentoring medical students, residents, and junior faculty on research projects, and teaching them the research process on an individual basis.   Dr. Binny Chokshi is a general pediatrician, with a focus on adolescents and young adults. Dr. Chokshi's research and education interests are focused on understanding the impact of early life stressors on health across the life course. To mitigate the effects of trauma and stress on children, Dr. Chokshi advocates for a trauma-informed approach to healthcare. She has developed web-based e-modules to train outpatient pediatricians in responding to childhood adversity with a trauma-informed care approach and has also trained medical students and residents at George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences. In a prior role at Children's National Hospital, she also worked with hospital leadership to develop hospital wide trauma-informed practices. In her current role at USUHS, Dr. Chokshi examines how military specific factors may impact child and and family health, with a current focus on how social determinants of health such as food security impact military child health.  Dr. Chokshi is also passionate on promoting positive childhood experiences, to foster healthy development in children and counter the impacts of stressful experiences.  Dr. Chokshi has a vested interest in medical education and completed Masters in Education at the George Washington University School of Education and Human Development. On a national level, Dr. Chokshi serves on the Expert Leadership Team for the American Academy of Pediatrics project “Building Capacity for Trauma-Informed Pediatric Care”. 

Sometimes experimental results are serendipitous. Listen as Associate Editor Dr. Crystal Ripplinger (University of California, Davis) talks with authors Dr. Nikki Posnack and Devon Guerrelli (both at Children's National Hospital and The George Washington University School of Engineering and Applied Science), along with expert Dr. Silvia Marchiano (University of Washington), about the new research by Guerrelli et al. published in our Call for Papers on Excitation-Contraction Coupling, Electrophysiology, and Arrhythmias. The Posnack Lab typically investigates environmental chemicals and their impact on cardiac function using microelectrode arrays to record electrical signals from human iPS cells. When performing cardiotoxicity experiments, the authors realized that their baseline measurements varied significantly between their different studies, making it difficult to combine datasets. In doing the legwork to identify potential sources of variability and improve their own internal lab protocols, the authors focused on the reproducibility of their experimental measurements using human iPSCs. Listen as we discuss important recommendations for investigators using these cells to improve their experimental reproducibility.   Devon Guerrelli, Jenna Pressman, Shatha Salameh, and Nikki Posnack hiPSC-CM Electrophysiology: Impact of Temporal Changes and Study Parameters on Experimental Reproducibility Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol, published June 9, 2024.

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health issue in the United States, affecting nearly 1 in 5 adults, or 40 million people. Another 19 million adults – 8% of the population – has depression. Prenatal mood disturbances are known to affect the fetal brain, and endocrine system. Left amygdalar volumes were smaller in newborns whose mothers had high psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic, a small cross-sectional study suggested. Infants of mothers with elevated maternal distress during the pandemic had median reductions in white matter, right hippocampal, and left amygdala volumes compared with neonates whose mothers had low distress levels, this is according to research from the Children's National Hospital in Washington, D.C. This was published in JAMA Network Open on June 20, 2024 and is making the medical headlines. This is fascinating data. BUT, this is NOT new news. In this episode, we will review the concerning effect that maternal mood and stress has on the developing fetal brain, and how maternal stress may even be leading to changes in the child's puberty! Listen in for details.
