In this eye-opening episode of Research Renaissance, Dr. Rod Scott takes us on a journey through the emerging science of brain networks, complex adaptive systems, and why rethinking how we treat neurological conditions like epilepsy and autism might be the key to improving outcomes—especially in children.Dr. Scott explains why he views the brain not as a collection of isolated parts, but as a dynamic, self-organizing system. From his clinical experience to his cutting-edge lab work on neural firing patterns and cognitive behavior, he shares why focusing on repairing brain networks—rather than treating individual genes or symptoms—could reshape our entire approach to neurological care.Key highlights include:

A prenatal diagnosis of osteogenesis imperfecta, a rare genetic disorder also known as brittle bone disease, can be devastating for expecting parents. The most severe cases are often labeled ‘lethal,' leading some families to believe there are no options for treatment.However, new research from Nemours Children's Health challenges that belief.Delaware Public Media's Kyle McKinnon caught up this week with Dr. Ricki Carroll – a Physician on the Skeletal Dysplasia and Palliative Care teams at Nemours – to learn more about the study's findings and how doctors are rethinking this rare condition.

In this episode of RAPM Focus, Editor-in-Chief Brian Sites, MD, is thrilled to welcome Kesavan Sadacharam, MD, and Allison Fernandez, MD, following the April 2024 publication of their original research paper, “Multisite prospective study of perioperative pain management practices for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in adolescents: Society for Pediatric Anesthesia Improvement Network (SPAIN) Project Report.” Unwarranted variation in health care refers to differences in health care delivery that cannot be attributed to patient illness, medical evidence, or patient preferences. Instead, these variations arise from differing local medical practices, resource availability, and physician decision-making processes. Unwarranted variations can lead to sub-optimal patient outcomes, with some patients receiving unnecessary or harmful treatments while others may not receive beneficial interventions. Two individuals are behind a multi-center collaborative initiative that looks at the utilization of regional anesthesia and pain medicine techniques for ACL reconstruction. Dr. Allison Fernandez is an associate professor at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, practicing pediatric anesthesia, and pediatric acute and chronic pain management. Dr. Fernandez started a video series, Women of Impact in Anesthesia, empowering women in medicine. Dr. Kesavan Sadacharam is a pediatric anesthesiologist and associate professor at Nemours Children's Health, located in Wilmington, DE. He is currently the director of regional anesthesia and practices both acute and chronic pain management. *The purpose of this podcast is to educate and to inform.

*This month in partnership with ⁠⁠⁠⁠PPMD⁠⁠* Our Carrier Connections program features a different X-linked condition each month with the goal to increase awareness of X-linked conditions and how they impact the lives of women and girls. This month, we are featuring Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Duchenne is an X-linked disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakening and is one of the most common life-limiting genetic conditions diagnosed in childhood. It is caused by a mutation in the DMD gene, which typically functions to produce a protein critical for muscle structure and function known as dystrophin. In individuals with Duchenne, this protein is absent, leading to the degeneration of muscle fibers over time and progressive muscle weakening. Duchenne is a multi-systemic condition, which means it affects many parts of the body including the heart and respiratory muscles, contributing to cardiology and breathing-related complications. Females carriers are usually not affected with Duchenne or Becker because they make enough of the dystrophin protein. However, they can have some symptoms of Duchenne, such as changes to heart function, mild muscle weakness, fatigue, or cramping in their muscles. Rarely, a carrier has symptoms that are as severe as those of a male with muscular dystrophy. The term “manifesting carrier” is often used to describe a woman who has some of the symptoms of a male with Duchenne. Carrier females have an increased chance of changes to heart function. Because a small percentage of carriers may have serious heart concerns, it is important for all women who are carriers and women who are at risk to be carriers to have regular heart evaluations, beginning in their late teens/early adult years and, if normal, repeated every 3-5 years. Today, we are featuring Dr. Mena Scavina. Dr. Mena Scavina is Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology at Thomas Jefferson University and neurologist in the Division of Neurology at Nemours Children's Health, Delaware (retired). She completed her residency in Neurology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital followed by an MDA Research Fellowship at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and a clinical fellowship in neuromuscular diseases at Nemours. She was Director of the Neuromuscular Program at Nemours, Co-Director of the MDA Certified Center since 1997 and Director of the Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy Certified Duchenne Care Center since 2017 when the clinic was certified. Dr. Scavina is a consultant for Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy and has been involved with the Certified Duchenne Care Center (CDCC) program, certifying centers throughout the country. One of her interests is in the care of carriers of Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy and has been involved with the development of the Duchenne and Becker Carrier Clinic in conjunction with PPMD and cardiologists at the Penn Center for Inherited Cardiovascular Disease in Philadelphia. She is certified by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and a member of the American Academy of Neurology.

Could a single social worker's snap judgment forever alter the course of a family's life? Recent revelations from the "Hidden Killers" podcast highlight a harrowing tale of a system gone awry, leaving listeners to question the checks and balances within Child Protective Services (CPS).    The discussion between Tony Brueski, the show's host, and Bob Motta, Defense Attorney and host of "Defense Diaries," centered around the disturbing case of Maya Kowalski. A family already struggling with their daughter's medical challenges found themselves battling not only a daunting diagnosis but also a system that seemed hell-bent on wresting control away from them.    "It's horrific to think...that you can have no judge, no jury. You can just have one social worker make these sort of broad judgments," Brueski commented, capturing the disbelief many parents may feel when confronting the reality of CPS's broad powers. The Kowalski family, already trying to manage Maya's medical needs, found themselves embroiled in a battle where their intentions, actions, and even love for their child were suddenly under scrutiny.    Highlighting the depth of the issue, Motta recounted Maya's treatment at Nemours Children's Hospital, a reputable institution that initially diagnosed her condition and recommended specific treatments. However, things took a grim turn when a CPS social worker stepped in. Motta lamented, "Instead of seeing a caring mother, [the social worker] finds her shady, leaning on the Munchausen by proxy narrative," referring to a controversial disorder where caregivers purportedly feign or induce illnesses in those they care for, craving attention or sympathy.    This diagnosis – made without extensive medical training and, arguably, outside the purview of the social worker's professional capabilities – became a pivotal point in the family's ongoing saga. "I have a sociology degree. I was a social worker...I wasn't diagnosing anything," Motta clarified, emphasizing the gross overreach and highlighting the potential dangers of a system that sometimes places undue power in the hands of individuals ill-equipped to wield it responsibly.    The tale takes an even darker turn with the mention of Dr. Sally Smith, a figure previously involved in several questionable CPS-related investigations. Brueski elaborated on Dr. Smith's track record, indicating a pattern of questionable interventions under her watch. "This was not the only family that had these sort of things happening to them," Brueski stated, referencing a somewhat dismissive apology letter Smith had penned to another family she had deeply affected.    Brueski and Motta's conversation then delved into the systemic issues underpinning such tragedies. Brueski observed, "So often we hear...about the child protective services...of not doing the job adequately." However, the Kowalski case presented a different issue, where the system seemed overzealous rather than negligent. Both hosts agreed on the need for competency and accountability within the system. "You can't leave all that power in one person's hands," Motta emphasized, calling for legislative changes to ensure such cases do not recur.    In conclusion, the chilling tale of Maya Kowalski serves as a stark reminder of the need for checks, balances, and a focus on genuine child welfare within the Child Protective Services system. As we reflect on this case, a pivotal question lingers: In our quest to protect the vulnerable, have we inadvertently created a system that can shatter innocent lives?

Dr. Ho Ming Chow, Assistant Professor at the University of Delaware and principal investigator for the Delaware Stuttering Project, joins host Sara MacIntyre, M.A., CCC-SLP, to discuss a recent article, 'Brain developmental trajectories associated with childhood stuttering persistence and recovery,' in Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience. Ho Ming and his collaborators, including principal investigator and renowned stuttering researcher, Dr. Soo Eun-Chang from the University of Michigan, conducted the largest longitudinal study of childhood stuttering to date, comparing children with persistent stuttering and those who later recovered from stuttering with age-matched non-stuttering peers, to examine the developmental trajectories of both gray matter volume and white matter volume using voxel-based morphometry. Dr. Chow walks us through the study's development and design (which originated in Dr. Soo Eun-Chang's lab), hypotheses, findings, strengths, limitations, and shares future areas of research interest— all in a very clinician-accessible manner. Thank you for sharing your work with all of us,  Dr. Chow and for your continued commitment to helping us learn more about stuttering.

Gloria Caulfield is the Vice President of Strategic Alliances for Tavistock and Executive Director of the Lake Nona Institute, which is part of the Lake Nona Life Sciences Innovation and Wellness Community. Lake Nona is a planned city within Orlando, Florida, that is focused on the health and well-being of the citizens who live and work there.  One of the key economic drivers is the health and life sciences innovation cluster which includes the University of Central Florida College of Medicine, a VA Medical Center, and the Nemours Children's Hospital, a state-of-the-art pediatric healthcare system. Gloria explains, "There is no question that it's a collaborative community when you're building something this new and this unique. We have leaders of these institutions that have come from all different parts of the country to bring their careers here to focus on building this new ecosystem. It fosters a spirit of collaboration, which starts with Tavistock. Tavistock as the developer, we chair research councils and CEO councils and communication councils, and just a wide range of things to bring key leaders together just for that purpose." "One that I'll mention that's unique is the Lake Nona Performance Center, and the Lake Nona Performance Center is a medically integrated fitness facility. Again, going back to my initial comment that this whole community was built and designed with people, optimizing health and human potential is really at the forefront of our focus. This performance center is a nexus of multiple things. There's clinical care delivery, there's fitness services, there's sports performance, there's mind/body practices, all under one roof." "This community is the sum of the parts. We have these big anchor organizations, which I've mentioned. We have innovation centers. One of those is the leAD Accelerator. It's a joint venture between Tavistock Group, which owns Lake Nona, and the Adi Dassler family, the founders of Adidas. It was set up and explicitly designed to support some of the best young companies in the health and sports tech arena."   #LakeNona #Healthcare #Innovation #Community #LifeSciences #Wellness #SportsMedicine #HealthcareInvesting Tavistock.com Listen to the podcast here

This episode features Dr. Lawrence Moss, President and CEO of Nemours Children's Health. Here, he discusses his new e-book Finding Health by Looking in the Right Place: How Understanding What Actually Creates Health Can Fix U.S. Healthcare.

In value-based care, we have both an economic and a moral imperative.  What's at stake is so much more than saving our healthcare system. It is about ensuring the continued prosperity of our nation to ensure that we leave it better for future generations. The best indicator of whether our country is on the right path is the assurance that healthy mothers can give birth to healthy children. And those children, in turn, must be assured of good care and a sound education that will enable them to face the challenges of a changing world. If we could have but one generation of properly born, educated, and healthy children, many of the insurmountable problems in our country would vanish in our lifetimes. This week on the Race to Value, you are going to hear from a value-based care leader who is boldly moving beyond with a call to action to serve our nation's youth. Karen Wilding, the Chief Value Officer at Nemours, is on a passionate pursuit of the Quadruple Aim, and her health system is redefining children's health in our country. Nemours Children's Health is truly “leaning in” to the promise of population health by transforming the very definition of what it means for children to be healthy. And their value journey reflects a bold vision to create the healthiest generations of children that will take us beyond medicine by ultimately impacting the world. If you are looking for an example of inspirational leadership in value-based care, look no further than Karen Wilding and the Nemours Children's Health System!   Episode Bookmarks: 01:30 “If we could have but one generation of properly born, educated, and healthy children, many of the insurmountable problems in our country would vanish in our lifetimes.” 02:30 Introduction to Karen Wilding, the Chief Value Officer at Nemours Children's Health 03:00 Support Race to  Value by subscribing to our weekly newsletter and leaving a review/rating on Apple Podcasts. 05:45 Karen describes the whole-person care orientation at Nemours and how the mission of “Well Beyond Medicine” guides their value-based care journey. 06:45 Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) screening in underserved populations to expand care network and create community partnerships. 07:45 Driving “macro-system impact” as an anchor institution (e.g. best practice clinical research, cross-sector partnerships, health equity investments) 08:30 Health Equity opportunities in pediatric whole-person care (e.g. teen birth rates, preventative care access, infant mortality rates…and even household income). 09:00 “Well Beyond Medicine is a commitment to not just care for the medical aspects of children – we also care for the larger health ecosystem to create whole-child health and healthier generations.” 11:45 “Payment transformation is foundational to being able to create sustainability in value-based care.” 12:30 Karen explains how the fee-for-service infrastructure does not align incentives for healthy outcomes (e.g. asthma exacerbations with children in Delaware). 13:30 “Investing in children's health is the single most important thing we can do as a society.” (balancing present-day economics vs. future economics). 14:45 Partnering with payers to pursue health equity transformation and the importance of community-based investments. 16:45 Nemours has been utilizing Community Health Workers to conduct SDOH screenings and individualized interventions through a culturally competent care model. 17:45 Karen explains how the interdisciplinary care team at Nemours works together to capture, assess, and address SDOH barriers. 18:45 The importance of enterprise-level buy-in when launching a SDOH population health strategy. 20:30 Overcoming fears and concerns of families in sharing personal information about their social barriers. 21:00 The creation of a national toolkit on whole-child population health and how Nemours is collaborating with policy stakeholders at the federal level.

In 2010, when he was 15, Dr. Manuel "Manny" Gonzales was a sophomore in high school and a varsity cross-country runner when he received a stunning diagnosis: cancer. At that time, he underwent a grueling regimen to battle the disease: 10 rounds of chemotherapy, thirteen lumbar punctures, and countless hours spent in both the inpatient and outpatient settings of the hospital where he was being treated: Nemours Children's Hospital, Delaware. His experience changed his life, creating a passion for becoming a pediatric oncologist.  Dr. Gonzales shared his story on Episode 56 of the podcast. We've invited him back to check in on his health and career path as he completes his pediatric residency at Nemours and heads into a hematology/oncology fellowship.  Dr. Gonzales was recently nominated as a Visionary of the Year Candidate for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. He is raising money to power innovative research for newer and safer therapies needed in pediatric oncology. Click here for more information on his campaign and to join his fundraising team.

The season of rebirth, renewal, and growth is here: Spring. And for many, it brings with it thoughts of putting our hands in the soil and planting seeds or transplanting seedlings in gardens. That's exactly what is happening right now on the Nemours Estate in Wilmington, Delaware. The Can Grow Garden is a collaboration between the estate and Nemours Children's Hospital Delaware to grow plants and provide a place for patient, family, and associate education and respite. The grown plants - mainly vegetables - provide food for the community to help alleviate food insecurity and teach healthy cooking and eating.

In this special sponsored episode, we're discussing how ambient clinical intelligence can improve patient care and reduce clinician burnout. Our sponsor is the Dragon Ambient Experience, or DAX, an ambient clinical intelligence solution from Nuance Communications and Microsoft. I'm joined by Alfred Atanda Jr., MD, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon at Nemours Children's Health in Delaware. He is chief of the Center for Sports Medicine and the Chief of Clinician Experience, as well as an assistant professor of orthopedic surgery at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. We discuss the challenges of declining physician well-being and the potential solutions to address it. We'll also be discussing the impact of clinical documentation on burnout and how ambient clinical intelligence solutions like DAX can help alleviate these burdens. Join us as we discuss Dr. Atanda's experiences with burnout and clinical documentation and the benefits of using ambient clinical intelligence in their practice. Find out more at https://nuance.com/exploreDAX The Podcast by KevinMD is brought to you by the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience. With so many demands on their time, physicians today report record levels of burnout. Burnout is caused by many factors, one of which is clinical documentation. Studies indicate physicians spend two hours documenting care for every hour spent with patients. At Nuance, we are committed to helping physicians do what you love – care for patients – and spend less time on clinical documentation. The Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience, or DAX for short, is an AI-powered, ambient clinical intelligence solution that automatically captures patient encounters securely and accurately at the point of care. Physicians who use DAX have reported a 50 percent decrease in documentation time and a 70 percent reduction in feelings of burnout, and 83 percent of patients say their physician is more personable and conversational. Rediscover the joy of medicine with clinical documentation that writes itself, all within the EHR.
