How would you feel if you could no longer smell your favourite scent? Anosmia is a partial or full loss of smell. While usually a temporary symptom of an illness like a cold or sinus infection, more serious medical issues like a brain injury or diabetes could cause anosmia. On today's episode of the DocTalks Podcast, Dr. Leigh Sowerby, Division Head of Rhinology and Skull Base Surgery at St. Joseph's Health Care London and Associate Professor in the Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery at Western University, joins to discuss anosmia. He chats with host, Mandi Fields, about causes, impact on lifestyle and treatments.  Note: The content of St. Joseph's DocTalks Podcast is for informational purposes only.

Contributor: Meghan Hurley, MD Educational Pearls: 1. Initial Assessment Start with a physical examination: Determine if the bleed is anterior or posterior. Perform a primary survey: assess airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs). Airway compromise = intubation immediately. If the patient is stable, have them blow out any clots, then re-examine the nares. 2. Topical Medications Anesthetics: provide local anesthesia and pain relief. Lidocaine Tetracaine Vasoconstrictors: reduce bleeding. LET (Lidocaine, Epinephrine, Tetracaine) is ideal because it provides anesthesia and vasoconstriction. Cocaine pledgets (less common). Tranexamic acid (TXA). Oxymetazoline (Afrin). Cautery (Chemical): If an anterior bleed is visualized, silver nitrate can be applied for cauterization 3. Technique Tips Use a nasal speculum. Spread up and down rather than side to side to avoid injury to the septum. Place LET-soaked gauze in the nares. Apply a nasal clamp for ~15 minutes to compress the vessels. Note that pledgets may cause upper lip numbness 4. Reassessment After 15 minutes, remove materials and inspect for a source of bleeding. If still bleeding and a source is identified, cauterize the site. Observe for 15 minutes to monitor for recurrence of bleeding. 5. Packing If the above measures fail to control bleeding: Anterior packing: Nasal tampon (Merocel) Convenient for outpatient removal. Balloon device Inflate the anterior balloon for compression. Posterior packing:  More complex, should consult ENT for additional assistance. 6. Disposition & Follow-Up Although rare, toxic shock syndrome is a possible complication of nasal packing. Antibiotic prophylaxis is controversial, but may be considered in high-risk patients. Outpatient follow-up if stable: Tampon: The patient can remove it at home. Balloon: Return to ED for removal. 7. Risk Factors for Epistaxis & Prevention Deviated septum, dry environments, and anticoagulant use Advise on humidifier use, nasal saline, and medication review to minimize future episodes.

Just today in clinic, we had a patient, who was well into her third trimester, come to her regular scheduled appointment with new onset left-sided facial droop. Yeah, that's concerning! A complete history and physical was performed and the diagnosis was made of Bell's palsy. This is not a rare event and it can be extremely stressful for the affected mother to be because everybody knows facial droop is not normal! And we have recent data regarding this. In July 2025 in the Journal of Plastic, Reconstructive, and Aesthetic Surgery, authors confirmed that Bell's palsy can have real negative functional and psychosocial implications for those affected. So, in this episode, we are going to discuss Bell's palsy in pregnancy. How do we differentiate this from the more serious differential, which is a stroke? What about treatment?

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Eric J. Moore, M.D. Salivary gland tumors can be benign or malignant, as well as primary or metastatic. Malignant salivary gland tumors usually present after the 6th decade, whereas benign lesions tend to occur a bit earlier, usually in the 4th to 5th decades. An interesting statistic is that the vast majority of salivary gland tumors occur in the parotid, only about 10% occur in the submandibular salivary gland and less than 4% in the minor salivary glands. Fortunately, most parotid tumors are benign. Previous radiation as well as occupational exposure to silica and nitrosamines have been linked to malignant parotid tumors. What should a primary care clinician do when we discover a mass in the parotid gland? What imaging studies are helpful? What treatment is available and what happens if the tumor recurs? These are all questions I'll be asking my guest, Eric J. Moore, M.D., Chair of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Parotid Gland Tumors”.

In Episode 119, we take a closer look at AEW Dynasty 2025, an event that may not have aimed for spectacle, but instead offered meaningful story progression and character development. From Kenny Omega's standout title defense in a triple threat against Ricochet and Speedball Mike Bailey to the chaotic main event between Jon Moxley and Swerve Strickland, the night reflected AEW's evolving creative direction.

These matches helped strengthen AEW's midcard and showcased the depth of the roster. Post-show insights from the media scrum, featuring comments from Toni Storm, Anthony Bowens, and Adam Cole, offered personal reflections on the night's impact and direction. Outside AEW, WWE made headlines this week with Kevin Owens announcing he will undergo neck surgery, officially pulling out of his scheduled WrestleMania 41 match. Meanwhile, CM Punk invoked his long-standing favor from Paul Heyman, asking Heyman to be in his corner for the main event at WrestleMania. The request set off a tense segment involving Roman Reigns, as Heyman, torn between loyalty and respect, made a surprising decision. Also featured in this week's episode: TNA rebrands the Digital Media Title as the International Championship, with a new tournament underway.

Too often, poor leadership in academic medicine drives people apart rather than connecting them. With that in mind, we invite Nausheen Jamal, MD, MBA, to our Faculty Factory Podcast this week to share pearls of wisdom from her own experience in building a leadership strategy aimed at bringing people together. Dr. Jamal currently serves as Professor & Harry Carothers Wiess Chair in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston, Texas. By specializing in the treatment of voice, swallowing, and airway disorders, Dr. Jamal addresses issues that hinder full communication. This makes it feel as though things are truly coming full circle as she shares insights on building community and connections in this chat.   We hope you learn from her story to gain insights that help you see beyond what is in front of you and achieve great satisfaction in your own future career journey. Other important dynamics we explore in this interview include: The art of engaging in a "flow" state of work as a faculty member. Change management and adjusting your communication style to a new audience. Delegating versus simply “dumping” a workload on colleagues. Engaging faculty in the development of important administrative items, like a leave policy. “What I learned is that I have to adjust my approach to change according to the culture that is going to have to endure or undergo that change," Dr. Jamal said candidly in this interview.
