Description: Co-hosts Ryan Piansky, a graduate student and patient advocate living with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and eosinophilic asthma, and Holly Knotowicz, a speech-language pathologist living with EoE who serves on APFED's Health Sciences Advisory Council, interview Dr. Dan Atkins about Children's Hospital Colorado's multidisciplinary treatment program for eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs). In this episode, Ryan and Holly interview their friend, Dr. Dan Atkins. Ryan was a long-time patient of Dr. Atkins and Holly worked as a feeding specialist with Dr. Atkins at Children's Hospital Colorado. Together, Dr. Atkins and Dr. Glen Furuta developed the Gastrointestinal Eosinophilic Disease Program at Children's Hospital Colorado as a multidisciplinary treatment center for pediatric patients impacted by eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases. They discuss how treatments and medicines have developed over the years. The clinic started with local patients but now also receives referrals from around the United States. Listen in for tips on identifying EGIDs and using multidisciplinary treatment.

Key Takeaways: [:50] Ryan Piansky introduces the episode, brought to you thanks to the support of Education Partners Bristol Myers Squibb, GSK, Sanofi, and Regeneron, and co-host, Holly Knotowicz. [1:19] Holly introduces today's topic, the evolution of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders, and the guest, Dr. Dan Atkins, a pediatric allergist at Children's Hospital Colorado. [1:32] With more than 40 years of experience as an allergist, Dr. Atkins has seen the evolution of eosinophilic disease patient care first-hand and helped establish the Gastrointestinal Eosinophilic Disease Program at Children's Hospital Colorado. [1:46] The Gastrointestinal Eosinophilic Disease Program is a multi-disciplinary program designed for the optimal evaluation and treatment of children with eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders. [2:10] Dr. Atkins thanks Holly, Ryan, and APFED for programs like this podcast to help educate the population of patients with eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases. [2:39] Dr. Atkins chose a pediatric residency. The last rotation was with an incredible allergist, Dr. Lenny Hoffman, in Houston. Dr. Atkins loved seeing patients with asthma, eczema, allergic rhinitis, food allergies, and anaphylaxis. [2:59] The thing Dr. Atkins liked about it was he could take kids who had potentially life-threatening conditions, work with them, and stabilize things, and they did really well. He could see a change in their quality of life. That got him started. [3:22] Dr. Atkins did an allergy and immunology fellowship in Buffalo, New York with Dr. Elliott Ellis and Dr. Elliott Middleton who had just written the Allergy: Principles and Practice text. They were incredible, brilliant mentors and wonderful people. [3:55] Dr. Atkins went to the National Institutes of Health to do basic science research after learning of a double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenge by Dr. Allan Bock and Dr. May in Denver. [4:27] Dr. Atkins did a clinical project on food allergy with Dr. Dean Metcalf, which was one of the first double-blind, placebo-controlled food challenges in adults. They published two papers on it. [4:47] Then Dr. Atkins went to work on the faculty of National Jewish Health. He was there for 25 years. [5:04] Dr. Atkins was invited to join the Children's Hospital of Colorado because they wanted to start an allergy program there. [5:21] Dr. Atkins got interested in eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases in 2006 after he saw a patient who had had difficulty eating, eosinophils in his esophagus, and food allergies. In another state, a doctor had put him on an elimination diet and he got better. [5:42] The patient moved to Denver. Dr. Atkins saw him and found the case to be interesting. He looked in the literature and found an article on eosinophilic esophagitis by Dr. Alex Straumann. [5:53] A gastroenterologist, Dr. Glen Furuta, came to Children's Hospital, looking to work with an allergist. Dr. Atkins met with him and they hit it off. They saw the need for a multidisciplinary program to take care of these patients. [6:31] Dr. Atkins has always been interested in diseases that led to eosinophilia. Most of them were allergic diseases. Eosinophilic esophagitis and other eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases came along with much more of a focus on eosinophils in the gut. [6:45] The first case of eosinophilic esophagitis that Dr. Atkins treated was a patient in 2006. He believes he probably missed earlier cases just by not asking the right question, which is, “Does your child eat slower than everybody else?” [7:18] Once Dr. Atkins started asking patients that question, it stunned him to find out how many patients said that was part of the issue. He followed up with testing and, sure enough, they had eosinophilic esophagitis. [7:45] Dr. Atkins says that, in general, eosinophils are present in allergic conditions. If you look at “allergic snot,” and stain it up, it's full of eosinophils. If you have eosinophilic esophagitis and allergic rhinitis, if you swallow snot, it will impact your EoE. [8:40] Dr. Atkins tends to be more aggressive with using a topical nasal steroid spray with patients who have allergic rhinitis because that decreases the eosinophils in the nose. [8:50] Dr. Atkins says since eosinophils are on their way to areas that are involved in allergic inflammation, that's how Dr. Atkins got interested in eosinophils. It played out with the multidisciplinary group and eosinophilic esophagitis. [9:07] Ryan went to see Drs. Atkins and Furuta when he was eight. Ryan is so thankful he was able to go to their clinic and is grateful that the doctors helped to create one of the first programs dedicated to treating EGIDs in the U.S. [9:40] Dr. Atkins credits Dr. Furuta with the multidisciplinary program. They discussed who needed to be part of it. A gastroenterologist first but Dr. Atkins thought an allergist was also necessary. Treating other allergies helps the patient's eosinophilic condition. [10:51] They decided they needed excellent nurses who loved working with kids. A lot of the kids had trouble eating, so the group needed feeding therapists and dieticians because these kids have a limited diet. They also needed a pathologist to read the slides. [12:59] Because this is a burdensome disease, they needed psychologists for the child and the family. Learning coping mechanisms is a big part of the experience. [14:20] As the program progressed, they saw they needed an endocrinologist to look at the children who weren't growing as expected. In clinic, they needed a child health person who could play games with the kids and keep them engaged during the long visits. [14:44] That was how the program evolved. They had an idea but they had to show people it would be an active clinic that would grow and they had enough patients to warrant the program. It happened quickly. [14:54] The program is fortunate to have a wonderful group of people who get along well and check their egos at the door. There are lots of conversations. Everybody's willing to listen and put their heads together. They compare notes and histories. [15:46] Holly had been working as a feeding specialist at the hospital. Someone was on leave so Holly was put into the clinic. She had never heard of EoE; she didn't know she had it! Her first meeting was a roomful of professionals comparing notes on patients. [16:31] Holly was in disbelief that these medical professionals met together for an hour weekly to discuss their patients with each other. Later, Holly followed a patient with Dr. Atkins, then Dr. Furuta, then a dietician, and then a nurse. [17:01] As she followed the patient, Holly listened and recognized the symptoms. She thought that she might have EoE! She introduced herself to Dr. Atkins and asked for a referral for a diagnosis. She was diagnosed that year with EoE. [17:25] Holly sees many unique things about the program. She was impressed that they had the foresight to include a feeding specialist, not a common specialty at the time. Holly also thinks it's neat that the clinic sees patients from all over the country. [18:01] Dr. Atkins says the availability of care is improving across the country. When the program began, people had not heard of eosinophilic esophagitis, not even the local pediatricians. Allergists were just becoming aware of it. They had to be educated. [18:29] There were people in other communities who didn't have access to multidisciplinary care. Over time the word has spread. Pediatricians are referring patients to the clinic for diagnosis. Care availability has improved. [18:55] Not every patient needs a multidisciplinary program. If you have mild to moderate eosinophilic esophagitis and you're responding to a current therapy, are doing well, and are communicating well with your provider, that's great! [19:10] If you need a second opinion or if you have a complicated case, there are some benefits to multidisciplinary care. [19:33] The providers at the clinic listen to the children as well as to the parents. When a food is removed, a dietician can suggest an alternative the child might like. [20:07] The clinic wanted to treat local patients but go beyond that, as well. They learn a lot from seeing patients from all over the country with different exposures and being treated by different doctors. [20:17] When Ryan was young, he would go from his home in Georgia to Denver, yearly. He reflected it felt like summer camp. He got a scope one day and saw the full team of specialists the next few days. It was different from how he was treated before. [21:06] Ryan says he was listened to and heard, and it was such a great experience for him as a patient to be seen in Dr. Atkins's clinic. [21:46] Dr. Atkins says they are trying to teach children to be their own advocates. If the doctor does not listen to what the patients have to say, why should they be involved? [22:50] A patient experience at the clinic starts with somebody deciding they need to go there and get a second opinion or a diagnosis. They get a referral to the clinic. Dr. Atkins mentions the need for administrative staff as part of the clinic team. [23:40] The patient fills out forms and gives their records to be reviewed by a physician before being seen to see if the clinic is a good fit for them. If it is, the patient is scheduled with an appointment for each doctor and professional in the clinic. [24:02] The patient records are seen by each professional on the team for how they relate to the professional's specialty. They decide what tests need to be done and if they are covered by insurance. [24:27] The care team meets before clinic to talk about all new and follow-up patients. Then the patient comes in to see the providers, one after another. Patients don't see all the providers in the same order. The endocrinologist and psychologist are not in the clinic. [25:39] The clinic visit takes three to four hours. It may involve skin testing for allergies or spirometry for lung function. The patient is scheduled for an endoscopy. When appropriate, they offer transnasal endoscopy, which takes only eight minutes and does not require anesthesia. [27:11] If the patient has a stricture and the esophagus needs to be dilated, the patient is asleep for that. There is also the esophageal string test, developed by Dr. Furuta. It takes a little over an hour and tells whether there is active disease or not. [28:02] Care has been made easier. Patients have different options for testing. Holly points out that the family is a part of the team and they are involved in every process and decision. Dr. Atkins says that shared decision-making is a cornerstone of care. [29:31] Dr. Atkins says what happens in the room is the care provider and patient connect and the patient talks about their problems with somebody they trust. To get the patient to do what they need to do, they have to understand and feel understood. [31:03] When Dr. Atkins started treating patients with asthma at National Jewish, patients came for a long evaluation, sometimes months. The only treatments were theophylline and steroids. There were side effects to those medications. [31:39] Dr. Atkins says it has been wonderful to be involved while new treatments have evolved. For eosinophilic esophagitis, when diet works for people, it works. He shares the experience of a teen who is doing great on a diet eliminating milk and eggs. [32:56] Don't discount diet. It's still up front. On the other hand, that doesn't work for some people. A metered dose inhaler with the puff swallowed may work for some. That's ideal for teenagers. There are other treatment choices like budesonide. [34:14] Swallowed steroids go to the liver, where they are metabolized. Now biologics are revolutionizing treatment. Not everyone needs biologics but they're a great choice for some. [35:30] A patient starting out doesn't need biologics as a first treatment. Other therapies may be effective and cheaper. If a patient doesn't respond, they can go to a biologic. More treatments are being developed. [36:42] Dr. Atkins wishes for a way to determine the food trigger with a simple test. [38:00] Dr. Altkins remembers Ryan as a little kid who should have gotten off of milk but he just wouldn't do it. He also recalls a patient who thrived when he was put on the right elimination diet, giving up only a couple of foods. [38:33] Dr. Atkins doesn't want to diminish any of his patients. Every patient is an individual. It's so much fun working through the problems, the goal, and the adjustments to get there and how the patient is dealing with it, and then watching them do better! [40:35] The hard part about eosinophilic esophagitis is that very few people outgrow it. It tends to be lifelong. But in the lifetime of patients he is seeing now, Dr. Atkins thinks we will see a cure, or at least, much easier, better treatments. [40:56] In the population Dr. Atkins treats, they start treatment and all of a sudden, they're not having trouble swallowing. Everyone who had a dilation said they would do it again when needed. They can swallow better. [41:44] But then, they have to maintain control of the inflammation. When people feel better, their impetus to take the medication drops off. If they stop taking their medications, a month later, they can't swallow their bagels. [42:18] There are holidays, such as Halloween, that are challenging for kids who are on elimination diets. If they collect candy but can't eat any of it, that may be a problem. [42:48] People who don't have EoE don't understand not being able to swallow. Dr. Atkins sees dads who have this but don't want to go get checked out. He tells them they need to be examples for their children and go get endoscopies to know if the condition is familial. [43:53] Dr. Atkins says there are a number of other excellent programs in the country. [44:24] Holly thanks Dr. Dan Atkins for sharing his expertise to help others and continually teaching the medical community how to recognize eosinophilic diseases and optimize care for all patients. [44:40] Eosinophilic diseases are not going away. Allergists need to learn the ins and outs of all different eosinophilic disorders. The medications available to treat those disorders are increasing. [45:02] Early in your career as an allergist, learn as much immunology as you can and how the biologics work and the newer medications coming out. Follow side effects so you know what to say to your patients and what to look for. [45:20] A lot of EoE patients get picked up in the allergist's office because they have other allergic diseases. As an allergist, ask if the child or parent eats slower than everybody else. [45:57] Ryan thanks Dr. Dan Atkins for joining today and personally, for all he has done to treat Ryan over the years. He thanks Dr. Atkins on behalf of APFED and for being instrumental in many APFED conferences and educational materials. [46:30] Dr. Atkins's biggest hope is that people sort out the pathways that lead to eosinophilic esophagitis and that we will have an array of targeted treatments for individual patients to cure that disorder for that patient without side effects. [47:50] Dr. Atkins thanks Ryan and Holly again for the opportunity to join them. It's been such a pleasure. He thanks APFED again. He has been a big fan for years. Giving patients a voice to share their stories is incredibly important.

Dr Jeremy T. Hua MD, MPH is a lung doctor at National Jewish Health in the Division of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences. He specializes in patients who get sick from where they work and how we can help keep them healthy. Today we discuss crystalline silica and the booming lung disease caused by inhaling it. Many of the workplaces are smaller, and employers may be unaware of the risk to employees or be put at a competitive disadvantage if they do address the risk and wider standards are not in place to protect all workers. However, the products involving quartz are everywhere, often in our kitchens, bathrooms and more. Listen and learn how so many of the products in are lives increasingly use engineered stone, how silica exposure is increasing, and what needs to be done. To Do - Learn more about silicosis from the American Lung Association or at the post for this episode. - When considering a kitchen upgrade or other changes, consider avoiding engineered stone unless you know it has been made with high safety standards in place. - Write to your members of Congress to encourage robust funding and staffing of OSHA and MSHA. - Listen to last month's podcast episode about coal mining and silica with Dr. Drew Harris to learn more about how to support miners. - Consider a donation to the American Lung Association, who advocates for patients with lung diseases including Silicosis.

How can a life-threatening illness transform a physician's approach to medicine and patient care? In this episode of the Becoming Immune Confident Podcast, we're honored to have Dr. Isabelle Amigues, a passionate rheumatologist with a profound personal and professional story. Dr. Amigues shares her journey from practicing in France to moving to New York, her battle with stage four cancer, and how these experiences reshaped her perspective on patient care. She discusses the importance of seeing patients holistically, the power of perspective in dealing with health issues, and her unique approach to rheumatology. Join us for a conversation that is not only about rheumatology but also about finding life's purpose through our struggles and the importance of patient-physician relationships. EPISODE IN A GLANCE-Dr. Isabelle Amigues' Background and Journey-Dr. Isabelle's Personal Health Journey and Perspective Shift-Shift from Academic Medicine to Personal Practice-The Power of Reframing and Perspective in Patient Care-Dr. Isabelle's Personal Experience with Reframing Perspective-The Role of Journaling and Facing Fears in Healing-The Importance of Finding the Right Physician-Where to find Dr. Isabelle Amigues ABOUT DR. ISABELLE AMIGUESIsabelle Amigues, MD, is a physician scientist with a speciality in rheumatology. She has trained both in Paris, France as well as Columbia University, in New York City and was an Associated Professor at National Jewish Health. She is based in Denver, CO where she sees her patients. She is the author of multiple book chapters and scientific articles in rheumatology. She was on the path to becoming a full time researcher when she was diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer. A timely meeting with a non-traditionally trained practitioner taught her a different approach to disease. She experienced the power of meditation, visualization, energy healing and love. Her journey through cancer inspired her to learn more about these alternative approaches, and now that she has studied many of them she has integrated them into her own practice of medicine. She is the co-creator of a community meeting called coExist where inspiring speakers share their wisdom to improve people's lives. She has her own podcast called UnabridgedMD and a youtube channel called Rheumatology 101. CONNECT WITH DR.

Description: Co-hosts Ryan Piansky, a graduate student and patient advocate living with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and eosinophilic asthma, and Holly Knotowicz, a speech-language pathologist and feeding specialist living with EoE who serves on APFED's Health Sciences Advisory Council talk with guest Ashley Spencer, patient advocate, a young adult from Bristol, PA, living with Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA). In this episode, Ryan and Holly discuss with Ashley her history with EGPA, how she was diagnosed, and some things you can do to advocate for yourself and others if you are living with EGPA. She explains the chronic nature of the disease and the treatments that help her in the day-to-day management of EGPA. You will appreciate Ashley's positive attitude and determination to improve the outcomes of people living with EGPA. 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: [0:50] Ryan welcomes co-host Holly Knotowicz. Holly introduces the topic: Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA) Today's episode features the perspective of a patient living with EGPA. [1:52] Holly introduces Ashley Spencer, a young adult from Bristol, Pennsylvania, living with EGPA. [2:03] Ashley thanks Holly and Ryan for having her on the podcast. [2:19] Ashley says it is not a walk in the park living with EGPA. When Ashley was 16, she started displaying symptoms of EGPA. At the time, because of her age, doctors didn't associate her symptoms with anything other than severe asthma. [2:45] Two years later Ashley developed sinus issues that required surgery. Every year she displayed more symptoms. [3:03] Ashley says EGPA has three stages and early diagnosis can halt its progress. [3:36] EGPA stands for Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis. Eosinophils in the body are high, causing inflammation within the body including major organs. [4:01] Ashley had exercise-induced asthma. She played sports and danced, but all of a sudden, it went from exercise-induced asthma to severe asthma. She was admitted to the hospital for it and needed continuous albuterol treatments. From age 16 until now, Ashley has not been able to get off steroids, which can cause severe issues. [5:05] Ashley displayed sinusitis issues when she was 18. Within two years, she had four sinus surgeries in all eight of her sinus cavities for sinusitis and nasal polyps. [5:26] The polyps were starting to show eosinophilia but not enough for a full diagnosis. Because Ashley was moving from adolescence to adulthood, she had to be transitioned from doctors at Children's Hospital Philadelphia to an adult doctor. Her family doctor told her she was getting worse. He sent her to National Jewish in Denver, Colorado. [6:12] Ashley checked into National Jewish Health for two weeks. Every day she saw doctors and had testing. Ashley was diagnosed with Churg-Strauss Syndrome, which is now known as Eosinophilic Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (EGPA). [7:28] By the time Ashley got the diagnosis, she was in the last stage of EGPA, which is the vasculitic stage. [8:09] A common misconception about EGPA is that it doesn't affect children and young adults. Another misconception is that EGPA patients may visually look healthy, similar to many autoimmune disease patients. EGPA affects the internal body. [9:18] Ashley's lungs, sinuses, and her nervous system have been impacted. One morning she woke up and she was paralyzed from the waist down. This shut down her bladder function and she developed mononeuritis multiplex which caused severe peripheral neuropathy from her knees down. [9:48] Ashley was hospitalized for three weeks and then went to a rehab to relearn how to walk. Ashley worked with her urologist to get a medical device to signal when she needs to use the bathroom. [10:33] Ashley also has heart issues but if she stays on her daily maintenance medications, she does well. [11:09] Ashley talks about specialists she sees: a pulmonary doctor, an ear, nose, and throat specialist, a women's healthcare team for bone health, a urologist, a neurologist, and an allergist and immunologist. [12:18] A good day for Ashley would be if she got out of bed, took a shower, and went to school. A bad day would be not being able to get out of bed and just staying in bed all day and sleeping. [13:17] Ashley and Holly discuss the “spoon theory.” You start the day with 10 spoons and each activity takes away one or more spoons. When your spoons are gone, you are done for the day. You don't have more to give. [16:45] How you can help a friend with EGPA: Join a Facebook group for EGPA. Ashley shares a personal story of an online friend who became an in-life friend. She encourages listeners to explore Facebook groups related to eosinophilic diseases. [18:31] It's hard for someonewith no experience with eosinophilic disorders to understand someone with EGPA. [20:33] There are situations you can explain that help your friends not living with eosinophilic diseases to better understand you. [21:41] Ashley has medication and a medical deviceto help her manage EGPA. [22:47] Ashley shares how her care has changed over the last ten years. When she started at the Cleveland Clinic, she went on a biologic to improve lung function that changed her life. She was able to work out again. Her stamina increased. It also helped a little bit with her neuropathy. [24:40] Ashley shares experiences with school and social activities with EGPA. She was in a college physical therapy program when her sinuses caused her to be admitted to the hospital. The doctors told her it was not feasible for her to continue to her senior year and she was heartbroken. She did not graduate or become a physical therapist. [26:23] Ashley's career now is advocacy. She often speaks to new EGPA patients about the disease and treatment options. She also talks to allergy patients. Years ago, Ashley made national news by going into anaphylactic shock on a plane when flying to the Cleveland Clinic and a Cleveland Clinic doctor on the plane saved her life. [27:38] Ashley's advice for traveling with EGPA is to wear medical identification jewelry. [30:03] Ashley refers to those living with EGPA as vasculitis warriors. She always invites them to connect with others on social media and to reach out if they need help. [30:58] Ryan shares the online resources to help with the day-to-day management of EGPA at apfed.org and apfed.org/connections. [31:28] Ryan and Holly thank Ashley for sharing her experience.

And then, two years later, I developed the sinus issue.” — Ashley “By the time I got the diagnosis, I was in the last stage [of EGPA], which is the vasculitic stage.

Dr. Tod Olin is a pulmonologist and director of the National Jewish Health Exercise and Performance Breathing Center in Denver, where he works with athletes of all levels, including Olympic and professional athletes. Dr. Olin is also one of the leading experts on returning to exercise after Covid. As Dr. Olin mentioned in this recent New York Times article, (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/03/sports/running-after-covid.html) the timeline for returning to running at full training capacity after having Covid, even mild cases, looks different for every athlete. As coaches, we are seeing this, too. As Dr. Olin mentions in the New York Times article and on our podcast, "Compared to most viral illnesses, the expectation that athletes should have is that it takes on average twice as long to get back to where you were." Accordingly, athletes need to respect the virus and not rush back into training just because there's a race on the schedule to ensure a full recovery and avoid long-term ramifications. In this episode, Dr. Olin provides guidance and encouragement to runners riding this struggle bus. In addition to heading up the Exercise and Performance Breathing Center--he is the leading expert on vocal cord dysfunction-- Dr. Olin also served as a physician during the Tokyo Olympics and shares his unique experience caring for athletes in Athlete's Village. If you or someone you know is struggling with returning to running after Covid, please listen and share this episode. Dr. Olin generously shared his email and encouraged listeners with questions to email him at exercise@njhealth.org. We are so grateful to Dr. Olin for sharing his expertise with us.

James Crooks, Ph.D., an environmental epidemiologist with National Jewish Health's Division of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics in Denver explains his research on the impact of wildfire smoke on the ozone concentrations at ground level in Colorado. Elevated ozone levels contribute to rising incidence of asthma and diabetes, among other conditions. Dr. Crooks found that while ozone increased only one percent, the impacts are widely felt, especially in Hispanic and historically underserved communities. The advent of annual smoke seasons and rising levels of air pollution globally make this an important conversation. He shares his advice on how to protect family members from air pollution and the prospects for life in a warmer world, when smoke season will be common in many regions.Smoke season isn't just unpleasant, it's killing too many of us. According to a recent study published in the journal The Lancet Planetary Health, air pollution was directly responsible for the death of 4.5 million people around the world in 2019. A McGill University study released in early May reported that people who lived within 31 miles (50 km) of a wildfire over a 10-year period were found to have a 10% higher incidence of brain tumors and 4.9% more lung cancers.

Eczema and food allergy are closely intertwined, particularly when it comes to questions of prevention. We know that eczema tends to be the first condition to emerge in the atopic march and there is growing evidence that controlling eczema may actually prevent some of these downstream conditions. Likewise, if we can learn how to prevent eczema so that it never manifested in the first place, we may be able to prevent all of the conditions in the atopic march: food allergies, asthma and allergic rhinitis. Find out more on this episode, hosted in partnership with the Food Allergy Fund 2022 Summit, with guests Dr. Peck Ong from Keck School of Medicine, Dr. Aikaterini Anagnostou from Baylor College of Medicine, and Dr. Jessica Hui from National Jewish Health as we delve into how to prevent atopic conditions, starting with eczema.

Dr. Bruce Bender, PhD, lead researcher and co-director of the Center for Health Promotion at National Jewish Health discusses recent research published in "The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice" about The Asthma Toolkit Bootcamp, a program that improved physician adherence to current guidelines, leading to fewer hospitalizations, emergency room visits, and decreased use of oral medications. #AsthmaToolkitBootcamp Dr. Bender is a member of the faculty at National Jewish Health, where he initiated the pediatric neuropsychology service. From this service, he began a research program designed to examine incidence and correlates of cognitive impairment in children with asthma, leading to a series of studies on the neuropsychological side effects of medications used to treat allergies and asthma. He has an ongoing research program that investigates health care behaviors that moderate asthma treatment effects, and the psychological disorders that undermine adherence. Dr. Bender is the head of the Division of Pediatric Behavioral Health, a team of seven psychologists, social workers, art therapists, and psychiatrists who provide services to children with chronic illness and their families. In 2006, he helped to establish the Colorado Asthma Tool Kit Program to address medically underserved asthma patients around the state, including those with low incomes, who speak Spanish as a first language or who live in rural locations. This program teaches health care providers to deliver care that is consistent with the most current evidence-based guidelines and, importantly, how to provide effective self-management education to adults, children and parents. The Asthma Toolkit program has since become the Respiratory Toolkit program, providing primary care training in both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Dr. Bender is a fellow of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, and the recipient of a lifetime achievement award from the American Thoracic Society.

More recently, about 200 of the children have been reunited with their parents, but bulk of them have not. As a result, many of the children suffer from physical and mental health problems.

For our feature interview, we sat down with Jonathan Maidment, a 23-year old Alpha, who raised more than $56,000 for the A1F’s research programs hiking the Appalachian Trail in 2014. Now for 2018 the challenge has become bigger, as he is getting ready to hike the entire Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), also as a fundraiser for the A1F. The PCT is a long-distance hiking trail aligned with the highest portion of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountain ranges. To follow and share Jonathan’s hike along the PCT, please visit facebook.com/hiking4acure Proceeds from the fundraising activities relating to Jonathan will be dedicated to research and programs of the Alpha–1 Foundation to find a cure for the rare genetic condition Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency.

Quitting smoking (start time 4:39) 50 years ago, the U.S. Surgeon General began a campaign against cigarettes that has saved million of lives. Cohost Jim Pullen talks with Dr. Amy Lukowski about proven strategies to stop smoking and a special quitting campaign for women who are pregnant. Dr. Lukowski is the Clinical Director of the Health Initiatives Programs for National Jewish Health. If you'd like to learn more about kicking the habit, visit the Colorado Quitline. Smoke and children's health (start time 13:36) It’s been known for some time that breathing in smoke from wildfires -- or wood stoves, for that matter -- is bad for your health. Many studies have shown that when children are exposed to inhalable particulate matter early in life, their lungs don’t function properly. And the effect on the lungs from inhaling smoke persists as children grow older. But what has not been well understood is precisely what is happening in a person’s body that causes the harmful effects -- the biologic mechanism. Also, there is no data available on the long-term impact of exposure to air pollutants on the immune systems of human infants and school children. A new study helps to narrow the gaps in our understanding of the effects of air pollutant exposure early in life. And in fact, the study was conducted on monkeys, not humans. Cohost Susan Moran's guest is Dr. Lisa Miller, who led the new study. She’s an associate professor in the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California at Davis. And she is Associate Director of Research at the California National Primate Research Center at the university.

Guest: Harold S. Nelson, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP The incidence of asthma has doubled in the past two decades, though the cause of this rise is difficult to pinpoint. While the hygiene hypothesis has, for years, served as one possible explanation, newer studies show a possible link between asthma and vitamin levels or exposure to certain chemicals or medications. How might this knowledge help us prevent the development of asthma, and what research still needs to be performed to determine the key factors here, and put an end to the increasing incidence of asthma? Dr. Harold Nelson, professor of medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and National Jewish Health hospital in Denver, lays out the evidence for these potential risk factors, from the child's date of birth, to acetaminophen use, to vitamin D levels, to exposure to cleaning sprays and other household chemicals. Dr. Jennifer Shu hosts.

Guest: David Fleischer, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD Wheat, eggs, milk, peanuts and other nuts, soybeans and seafood: all of these can be an integral part of a balanced, healthy diet for growing children. Instead, many are off-limits for an increasing number of children diagnosed with food allergies. Though the rise in food allergies is certainly worrisome, we're learning that some food allergies may actually be misdiagnosed. Host Dr. Jennifer Shu welcomes Dr. David Fleischer, assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and National Jewish Health in Denver, for a conversation about how we can improve our capacity to accurately assess food allergies, and help many of our young patients tolerate, or even enjoy, a wider range of food. Starting with a clinical history, what kind of workup should be done before patients are referred to an allergist? How should allergen-specific antibody blood tests be incorporated into this process?
