Guest: Ibrahim Hussain, M.D. Neurological spine surgeon Dr. Ibrahim Hussain explains how expandable cages are being used in minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusions to optimize patient outcomes. These cages can be inserted with a very low profile to restore height and lordosis, and enable a faster recovery. At Och Spine at NewYork-Presbyterian, surgeons are pursuing innovative solutions to provide a better quality of life for patients with degenerative disc disease and other spine conditions. © 2026 NewYork-Presbyterian

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Bethany Lussier, MD Patients often present with respiratory symptoms that don't quite align with typical pulmonary findings. So what clues should raise our suspicion that something beyond primary lung disease might be driving their condition? Joining Dr. Charles Turck to talk about the pulmonologist's role in identifying respiratory manifestations of thymidine kinase 2 deficiency (TK2d) is Dr. Bethany Lussier. She shares the hallmark features to look out for, like orthopnea and hypoventilation, as well as best practices for using pulmonary function testing and inspiratory pressure measures to distinguish muscle weakness from primary lung disease. Dr. Lussier is an Associate Professor of Internal Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, where she's also a member of the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine.

Host: Alexandria May, PharmD, BCPS Guest: Kaitlin Batley, MD Fatigue and muscle weakness may seem routine, but when do they signal an underlying condition like thymidine kinase 2 deficiency (TK2d)? To find out, Dr. Alexandria May speaks with Dr. Kaitlin Batley, Director of the Pediatric Neuromuscular Program at Children's Health and an Assistant Professor of Pediatrics and Neurology at UT Southwestern Medical Center. They discuss how multisystem involvement can help distinguish TK2d from more common neuromuscular disorders and how we can achieve diagnostic clarity through advanced genetic testing, metabolic evaluation, and muscle biopsy.

Guest: Henry Kaminski, MD Myasthenia gravis is an unpredictable condition, with symptoms and treatment responses that can vary widely from one patient to the next. Tune in to hear Dr. Henry Kaminski explain how to navigate this variability and make thoughtful, individualized treatment decisions. Dr. Kaminski is the Meta A. Neumann Professor of the Department of Neurology at The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Washington.

Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP Guest: Austin Larson, MD Emerging research on thymidine kinase 2 deficiency (TK2d) provides new insights into its global genetic prevalence and variability across genetic ancestries. By combining clinical literature with large genomic databases, investigators estimated disease incidence using carrier frequency under Hardy-Weinberg assumptions, uncovering significant differences between populations and key pathogenic variants. Joining Dr. Brian McDonough to discuss the findings and their implications for improving diagnostic accuracy and refining genetic testing strategies is Dr. Austin Larson. He's an Associate Professor of Pediatric Clinical Genetics and Metabolism at the University of Colorado Anschutz, and he presented these findings at the 2026 Muscular Dystrophy Association Clinical and Scientific Conference.

Guest: Thomas S. Bottiglieri, D.O. On this episode of Advances in Care, host Erin Welsh sits down with Dr. Thomas Bottiglieri, Chief of the Primary Care Sports Medicine Division at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, to discuss the evolving landscape of concussion care—from prevalence to emerging diagnostic breakthroughs. With over 2 million estimated concussions occurring annually in the United States and many of them affecting young athletes, Dr. Bottiglieri and his colleagues have sought to develop a more accurate and accessible way to objectively diagnose concussion. While a single injury may not cause long-term issues, research shows that repeated head trauma—and lack of proper care—can lead to premature neurodegeneration. During their research to improve diagnostic measures, Dr. Bottiglieri and his team discovered a biomarker associated with severe concussions: a subtle tremor of the head and neck that becomes amplified when a concussed patient tries to visually focus on a target. This discovery led to the development of ProScope, an innovative eye-tracking software tool that measures head and neck stability and can detect the diagnostic biomarker with over 80% sensitivity. With the advent of these tools, clinicians can now, for the first time, objectively measure concussion. A former competitive athlete himself, Dr. Bottiglieri hopes that the ProScope tool …

Host: Jennifer Caudle, DO Guest: Katie Beadon, MD, MASc, FRCPC Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is a chronic, immune-mediated motor neuropathy that can mimic other neuromuscular disorders1-3 and is one of the few motor neuron disorders that is treatable.4 However, disease severity correlates with the length of time a patient remains untreated, which is why early recognition and treatment initiation is essential for preserving long-term motor function.5-6 Joining Dr. Jennifer Caudle to discuss the diagnosis and management of MMN is Dr. Katie Beadon, Co-Director of St. Paul's Hospital Immunotherapy in Neurology Clinic and an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.
