Listen to ASCO's Journal of Clinical Oncology Art of Oncology article, "I Hope So Too” by Dr. Richard Leiter from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The article is followed by an interview with Leiter and host Dr. Mikkael Sekeres. Leiter shares that even in the most difficult moments, clinicians can find space to hope with patients and their families. TRANSCRIPT  Narrator: I Hope So Too, by Richard E. Leiter, MD, MA  “You're always the negative one,” Carlos' mother said through our hospital's Spanish interpreter. “You want him to die.” Carlos was 21 years old. A few years earlier he had been diagnosed with AML and had undergone an allogeneic bone marrow transplant. He was cured. But now, he lay in our hospital's bone marrow transplant (BMT) unit, his body attacked by the very treatment that had given him a new life. He had disseminated graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in his liver, his lungs, his gut, and, most markedly, his skin. The BMT team had consulted us to help with Carlos' pain. GVHD skin lesions covered his body. They were raw and weeping. Although the consult was ostensibly for pain, the subtext could not have been clearer. Carlos was dying, and the primary team needed help navigating the situation. As his liver and kidney function declined, the need to address goals of care with Carlos' mother felt like it was growing more urgent by the hour. Difficult cases, like a young person dying, transform an inpatient unit. Rather than the usual hum of nurses, patient care associates, pharmacy technicians, and unit managers going about their daily work, the floor becomes enveloped in tension. Daily rhythms jump a half step ahead of the beat; conversations among close colleagues fall out of tune. “Thank goodness you're here,” nurse after nurse told my attending and me, the weight of Carlos' case hanging from their shoulders and tugging at the already puffy skin below their eyes. I was a newly minted palliative care fellow, just over a month into my training. I was developing quickly, but as can happen with too many of us, my confidence sat a few steps beyond my skills. I thought I had a firm grasp of palliative care communication skills and was eager to use them. I asked for feedback from my attendings and genuinely worked to incorporate it into my practice. At the same time, I silently bristled when they took charge of a conversation in a patient's room. Over the ensuing week, my attending and I leaned in. We spent hours at Carlos' bedside. If I squinted, I could have convinced myself that Carlos' pain was better. Every day, however, felt worse. We were not making any progress with Carlos' mother, who mostly sat silently in a corner of his room. Aside from occasionally moaning, Carlos did not speak. We learned little, if anything, about him as a person, what he enjoyed, what he feared. We treated him, and we barely knew him. Each morning, I would dutifully update my attending about the overnight events. “Creatinine is up. Bili is up.” She would shake her head in sadness. “Doesn't she get that he's dying?” one of the nurses asked us. “I feel like I'm torturing him. He's jaundiced and going into renal failure. I'm worried we're going to need to send him to the ICU. But even that won't help him. Doesn't she understand?”  We convened a family meeting. It was a gorgeous August afternoon, but the old BMT unit had no windows. We sat in a cramped, dark gray family meeting room. Huddled beside Carlos' mother was everyone on the care team including the BMT attending, nurse, social worker, chaplain, and Spanish interpreter. We explained that his kidneys and liver were failing and that we worried time was short. Carlos' mother had heard it all before, from his clinicians on rounds every day, from the nursing staff tenderly caring for him at his bedside, and from us. “He's going to get better,” she told us. “I don't understand why this is happening to him. He's going to recover. He was cured of his leukemia. I have hope that his kidneys and liver are going to get better.” “I hope they get better,” I told her. I should have stopped there. Instead, in my eagerness to show my attending, and myself, I could navigate the conversation on my own, I mistakenly kept going. “But none of us think they will.” It was after this comment that she looked me right in the eyes and told me I wanted Carlos to die. I knew, even then, that she was right. In that moment, I did want Carlos to die. I could not sit with all the suffering—his, his mother's, and his care team's. I needed her to adopt our narrative—that we had done all we could to help Carlos live, and now, we would do all we could to help him die comfortably. I needed his mother to tell me she understood, to accept what was going on. I failed to recognize what now seems so clear. Of course, his mother understood what was happening. She saw it. But how could we have asked her to accept what is fundamentally unacceptable? To comprehend the incomprehensible?  At its best, serious illness communication not only empathetically shares news, be it good or bad, but also allows patients and families adequate time to adjust to it. For some, this adjustment happens quickly, and in a single conversation, they can digest difficult news and move to planning the next steps in care for themselves or their loved ones. For most, they need more time to process, and we are able to advance the discussion over the course of multiple visits. My attending led the conversations from then on. She worked with the BMT attending, and they compassionately kept Carlos out of the intensive care unit. He died a few days later, late in the evening. I never saw his mother again. I could not have prevented Carlos' death. None of us could have. None of us could have spared his mother from the grief that will stay with her for the rest of her life. Over those days, though, I could have made things just a little bit less difficult for her. I could have protected her from the overcommunication that plagues our inpatient units when patients and families make decisions different from those we would make for ourselves and our loved ones. I could have acted as her guide rather than as her cross-examiner. I could have hoped that Carlos stopped suffering and, genuinely, hoped he got better although I knew it was next to impossible. Because hope is a generous collaborator, it can coexist with rising creatinines, failing livers, and fears about intubation. Even in our most difficult moments as clinicians, we can find space to hope with our patients, if we look for it. Now—years later, when I talk to a terrified, grieving family member, I recall Carlos' mother's eyes piercing mine. When they tell me they hope their loved one gets better, I know how to respond. “I hope so too.” And I do. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Hello and welcome to JCO's Cancer Stories: The Art of Oncology, which features essays and personal reflections from authors exploring their experience in the oncology field. I'm your host, Mikkael Sekeres. I'm professor of Medicine and Chief of the Division of Hematology at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at University of Miami. Today I am thrilled to be joined by Dr. Ricky Leiter from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In this episode, we will be discussing his Art of Oncology article, “I Hope So, Too.” Our guest's disclosures will be linked in the transcript. Ricky, welcome to our podcast and thank you so much for joining us. Dr. Ricky Leiter: Thanks so much for having me. I'm really excited to be here. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Ricky, I absolutely adored your essay. It really explored, I think, a combination of the vulnerability we have when we're trying to take care of a patient who's dying and the interesting badlands we're placed in when we're also a trainee and aren't quite sure of our own skills and how to approach difficult situations. But before we dive into the meat of this, can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Where are you from and where did you do your training? Dr. Ricky Leiter: Sure, yeah. Thanks so much. So I grew up in Toronto, Canada, and then moved down to the States for college. I was actually a history major, so I never thought I was going to go into medicine. And long story short, here I am. I did a Post-Bac, did a year of research, and ended up at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine for med school, where I did a joint degree in medical humanities and bioethics. And that really shaped my path towards palliative care because I found this field where I said, “You know, wow, I can use these skills I'm learning in my Master's at the bedside with patients thinking about life and death and serious illness and what does that all mean in the broader context of society.” So, moved from Chicago to New York for residency, where I did residency and chief residency in internal medicine at New York Presbyterian Cornell, and then came up to the Harvard Interprofessional Palliative Care Program, where I did a clinical fellowship, then a research fellowship with Dana-Farber, and have been on faculty here since. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Fantastic. Any thoughts about moving back to Canada? Dr. Ricky Leiter: We talk about it every now and then. I'm really happy here. My family's really happy here. We love life in Boston, so we're certainly here for the time being. Definitely. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: And the weather's so similar. Dr. Ricky Leiter: Yeah, I'm used to the cold. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: I apparently did not move to Miami. I'm curious, this may be an unfair question, as you have a really broad background in humanities and ethics. Are there one or two books that you read where you think, “Gee, I'm still applying these principles,” or, “This really still resonates with me in my day to day care of patients who have cancer diagnosis”? Dr. Ricky Leiter: Oh, wow, that is a great question. There are probably too many to list. I think one is When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi, which I didn't read in my training, I read afterwards. And I think he's such a beautiful writer. The story is so poignant, and I just think Paul Kalanithi's insights into what it means to be living with a serious illness and then ultimately dying from cancer as a young man, as someone in medicine, has really left an imprint on me. Also, Arthur Kleinman. The Illness Narratives, I think, is such a big one, too. And similarly, Arthur Frank's work. I mean, just thinking about narrative and patient stories and how that impacts our clinical care, and also us as clinicians. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: And I suspect us as writers also. Dr. Ricky Leiter: Absolutely. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: We imprint on the books that were influential to us. Dr. Ricky Leiter: Certainly. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: So how about your story as a writer? How long have you been writing narrative pieces? Is this something you came to later in your career, or did you catch the bug early as an undergrad or even younger? Dr. Ricky Leiter: So I caught it early, and then it went dormant for a little while and came back. As a history major, as someone who is humanities minded, I loved writing my papers in college. Like, I was one of those nerds who got, like, really, really excited about the history term paper I was writing. You know, it was difficult, but I was doing it, particularly at the last minute. But I really loved the writing process. Going through my medical training, I didn't have as much time as I wanted, and so writing was sort of on the back burner. And then actually in my research fellowship, we had a writing seminar, our department, and one of the sessions was on writing Op-eds and perspective pieces. And we had a free write session and I wrote something sort of related to my research at the time I was thinking about, and Joanne Wolfe, who was helping to lead the session, pediatric palliative care physician, she said, “You know, this is really great. Like, where are you going to publish this?” And I said, “Joanne, what do you mean? I just wrote this in this session as an exercise.” She said, “No, you should publish this.” And I did. And then the bug came right back and I thought, “Wow, this is something that I really enjoy and I can actually make a difference with it. You know, getting a message out, allowing people to think a little bit differently or more deeply about clinical cases, both in the lay press and in medical publications.: So I've essentially been doing it since and it's become a larger and larger part of my career. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: That's absolutely wonderful, Ricky. Where is it that you publish then, outside of Art of Oncology? Dr. Ricky Leiter: So I've had a couple of pieces in the New York Times, which was really exciting. Some in STAT News on their opinion section called First Opinion, and had a few pieces in the New England Journal as well, and in the Palliative Care Literature, the Journal of Palliative Medicine. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Outstanding. And about palliative care issues and end of life issues, I assume? Dr. Ricky Leiter: Sort of all of the above. Palliative care, serious illness, being in medical training, I wrote a fair bit about what it was like to be on the front lines of the pandemic. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Yeah, that was a traumatic period of time, I think, for a lot of us. Dr. Ricky Leiter: Absolutely. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: I'm curious about your writing process. What triggers a story and how do you face the dreaded blank page? Dr. Ricky Leiter: So it's hard to pin down exactly what triggers a story for me. I think sometimes I'm in a room and for whatever reason, there's a moment in the room and I say, “You know what? There's a story here. There's something about what's going on right now that I want to write.” And oftentimes I don't know what it is until I start writing. Maybe it's a moment or a scene and I start writing like, “What am I trying to say here? What's the message? And sometimes there isn't a deeper message. The story itself is so poignant or beautiful that I want to tell that story. Other times it's using that story. And the way I think about my writing is using small moments to ask bigger questions in medicine. So, like, what does it mean to have a good death? You know, one piece I wrote was I was thinking about that as I struggled to give someone what I hoped would be a good death, that I was thinking more broadly, what does this mean as we're thinking about the concept of a good death? Another piece I wrote was about a patient I cared for doing kidney palliative care. And she was such a character. We adored her so much and she was challenging and she would admit that. This was someone I wanted to write about. And I talked to her about it and she was honored to have her story told. Unfortunately, it came out shortly after her death. But she was such a vibrant personality. I said, “There's something here that I want to write about.” In terms of the blank page, I think it's overcoming that fear of writing and procrastination and all of that. I think I have a specific writing playlist that I put on that helps me, that I've listened to so many times. You know, no words, but I know the music and it really helps me get in the zone. And then I start writing. And I think it's one of those things where sometimes I'm like, “Oh, I really don't like how this is sounding, but I'm going to push through anyways.” as Anne Lamott's blank first draft, just to get something out there and then I can play with it and work with it. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Great. I love the association you have with music and getting those creative juices flowing and picking ‘le mot juste' in getting things down on a page. It's also fascinating how we sometimes forget the true privilege that we have as healthcare providers in the people we meet, the cross section of humanity and the personalities who can trigger these wonderful stories. Dr. Ricky Leiter: Absolutely. Absolutely. It's such a privilege and I think it often will go in unexpected directions and can really impact, for me certainly, my practice of medicine and how I approach the next patients or even patients years down the road. You remember those patients and those stories. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Right. You write with such obvious love and respect for your patients. You also write about that tenuous phase of our careers when we're not yet attendings but have finished residency and have demonstrated a modicum of competence. You know, I used to say that fellowship is really the worst of all worlds, right? As an attending, you have responsibility, but you don't have to do as much of the grunt work. As a resident, you do the grunt work, but you don't really have the responsibility. And in fellowship, you've got it all. You've got to do the grunt work, and you have the responsibility. Can you tie those two concepts together, though? How does our relationship to our patients change over the course of our careers? Dr. Ricky Leiter: Early on, if you think about the imprinting of patients as you go down the road, so many of the patients who have imprinted on me were the ones earlier in my career, before I was more formed as a clinician because of experiences like the one I wrote about in “I Hope so Too,” where the skills are forming, and sometimes where it's smooth sailing, and sometimes we're muddling through. And those cases where we feel like we're muddling through or things don't go as we hope, those are the ones that really leave an impact. And I think it's those little moments that sort of nudge your career and your skill set in different ways. I think the patients now, they still leave a mark on me, but I think it's in different ways. And I think oftentimes it's less about my skills. Although my skills are still very much developing, even, you know, almost a decade out, they impact me differently than they once did. I feel more confident in what I'm doing, and it's more about my relationship to this situation rather than the situation's impact on my skills. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Got it. Got it. It's interesting. I once wrote a piece with Tim Gilligan, who also spent some time at Dana Farber and is a communications expert, about how there's this kind of dualism in how we're trained. We're trained with communications courses and how to talk to patients, and it almost does the opposite. It kind of raises the flag that, “Wait a second, maybe I've been talking to people the wrong way.” And as you get more mature in your career, I almost feel as if you revert back to the way you were before medical school, when you just talked to people like they were people and didn't have a special voice for patients. Dr. Ricky Leiter: Yeah, I think that's right. And I think in palliative care, we spend so much time thinking about the communication. And this was the most challenging piece about fellowship because then- and our fellowship directors told this to us, and now we teach it to our fellows. You know that you come in, the people who choose to go into palliative care, have a love of communication, have some degree of skill coming in, and then what happens is we break those skills down and teach them a new skill set. So it gets clunkier before it gets better. And the time I was writing about in this piece was August of my fellowship year, exactly when that process was happening, where I'm trying to incorporate the new skills, I had my old way of doing things, and it's just not always aligning. And I think you're right that as the skills become embedded, as you go on throughout your career, where it feels much more natural, and then you do really connect with people as people still using the skills and the techniques that we've learned in our communication courses, but they become part of who you are as a clinician. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Nicely put. Your story is particularly poignant because the patient you described was dying from the very treatment that cured his leukemia. It's this, I'm going to use the term badlands again. It's this terrible badlands we sometimes find ourselves where, yes, the treatment has been successful, but at the cost of a human life. Do you think that as healthcare providers, we react differently when a patient is sick, from side effects to our recommendations, as opposed to sick from their disease? Dr. Ricky Leiter: I think we probably do. It's hard because I think every patient in every case pulls at us in different directions. And this case was Carlos, who I called him, it was such a challenging situation for so many reasons. He was young. He really couldn't communicate with us. We were talking to his mom. Like, there were so many layers to this. But I think you're right. that underlying this, there's a sense of “We did everything we could beautifully, to cure him of his disease, and now he's dying of that, and what does that mean for us as clinicians, physicians. That becomes really hard and hard to sit with and hold as we're going back every day. And I say that as the palliative care consultant. So I can only imagine for the oncology team caring for him, who had taken him through this, what that felt like. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Well, you describe, again, beautifully in the piece, how the nursing staff would approach you and were so relieved that you were there. And it was, you know, you got the sense- I mean, obviously, it's tragic because it's a young person who died, but you almost got the sense there was this guilt among the providers, right? Not only is it a young person dying, but dying from graft versus host disease, not from leukemia. Dr. Ricky Leiter: Absolutely. There was guilt because of what he was dying of, because of how he was dying that he was so uncomfortable and it took us so long to get his pain under control and we really couldn't get him that balance of pain control and alertness that we always strive for was pretty much impossible from the beginning. And so it was layer upon layer of distress and guilt and sadness and grief that we could just feel every day as we stepped onto the floor. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: Yeah. I don't know if you've ever read- there's a biography of Henry Kaplan, who was considered the father of radiation therapy, where there was this incredible moment during his career when he presented at the AACR Annual Meeting the first cures for cancers, right? No one believed it. It was amazing, actually curing cancer. And then a couple years later, people started dribbling into his clinic with cancers because of the radiation therapy he gave, and he actually went into a clinical depression as a result of it. So it can affect providers at such a deep level. And I think there's this undiscussed guilt that permeates the staff when that happens. Dr. Ricky Leiter: Absolutely, absolutely. It's right there under the surface. And we rarely give ourselves the space to talk about it, right? To really sit down and say, how are we approaching this situation? How do we feel about it? And to sit with each other and acknowledge that this is horrible. It's a horrible situation. And we feel guilty and we feel sad and we feel grief about this. Dr. Mikkael Sekeres: It's been just terrific getting to know you and to read your piece, Ricky Leiternd, a we really appreciate your writing. Keep doing what you do. Dr. Ricky Leiter: Oh, thank you so much. It's a privilege to get the piece out there and particularly in JCO and to be here with you. So I really appreciate it.

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. Priya Bansal about an allergist's role in treating EoE.   In this episode, Ryan and Holly discuss with Dr. Priya Bansal her career in internal medicine, pediatrics, allergies, and immunology. She emphasizes the importance of patient advocacy and encourages parents to not accept the diagnosis that their child is a picky eater when the child is refusing food. Dr. Bansal talks about the process of reaching a diagnosis and EoE treatment options. Listen to this episode for more information about living with EoE and how an allergist can help.   Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is designed to support, not replace the relationship that exists between listeners and their healthcare providers.

Opinions and views of guests and co-hosts are their own.   Key Takeaways: [:51] Ryan Piansky introduces the episode and co-host, Holly Knotowicz. Ryan and Holly will talk about eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and how an allergist can help.   [1:25] Holly introduces Dr. Priya Bansal, an internist, pediatrician, and allergist, who is on the faculty of Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine and practices at the Asthma and Allergy Wellness Center in Illinois.   [2:06] Dr. Bansal does research and consulting and in a private practice. Throughout her 20-year career, she has enjoyed treating chronic and difficult-to-treat diseases.   [3:06] Now, she enjoys patient advocacy, advocating for EoE, and working with the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology House of Delegates and the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology.   [3:38] For new listeners, EoE is an allergic and immune disease of the esophagus. With EoE, eosinophils are found in the lining of the esophagus, causing inflammation, and inviting more eosinophils. EoE is a chronic inflammation of the esophagus.   [4:30] A child might have symptoms of food refusal, regurgitation, and abdominal pain. Adults may feel food sticking. The standard for finding eosinophils is endoscopy with six biopsies; two proximal, two mid, and two distal.   [5:24] It is a patchy disease, so the allergist will want to partner with a gastroenterologist who will do the biopsies at the three different levels.   [6:10] Holly tells how she didn't get diagnosed until she was in her mid-twenties. Her doctors thought she was vomiting for attention. They were not familiar with EoE. She was diagnosed as an adult when working at a major hospital.   [7:00] An allergist at a big academic center, working together with a team of doctors from multiple disciplines, may find it easier to diagnose EoE. Many allergists are not working on multi-disciplinary teams.   [7:34] An allergist can look at the resources in the community. Dr. Bansal has several gastroenterology centers that refer patients to her. They partner with Dr. Bansal on the diagnosis and treatment.    [8:02] In other clinics, it may be the gastroenterologist who takes the lead in treatment and refers to the allergist to manage the allergic disease that exists on top of the EoE.    [8:21] As a patient, the diagnosis process depends on where you live. If you have symptoms, don't give up. When Dr. Bansal started, she had to ask pathologists to stain biopsies for eosinophils. Today, staining is done routinely; she doesn't need to ask for it.   [9:07] You are your best advocate. If somebody doesn't believe you, that doesn't mean somebody else won't.   [9:22] Holly is a feeding specialist in Maine. In the three years she has been there, more than 100 people whom she has referred have been diagnosed with EoE.   [10:24] Dr. Bansal says that whether you see an allergist or a GI doctor, depends on which specialty takes the lead on EoE in your community. If you do not have a good rapport with your doctor, make a change. Partner with a doctor who advocates for you.   [11:59] Dr. Bansal advises that when seeing a different doctor, to print out your biopsies to bring. If you are using a biologic therapy, print out the scope that you had right before your biologic therapy, too. That biopsy is your golden ticket if you switch insurance companies.   [13:02] Dr. Bansal uses Care Everywhere, but she wants to see prints of your labs anyway. Not everyone opts into Care Everywhere. She likes the Patient Portal and she is looking forward to someday having a universal portal.   [13:43] Dr. Bansal recommends patients sign up with the Portal for their allergist and GI doctor to facilitate communication.   [15:14] Patients can scan their printed scope reports and share them with their care team, such as by putting them on a keychain USB drive, in a photo album on a phone, or a scanning app on a phone. There are different ways to store the data.   [15:39] Ryan describes how his mother organized his medical history, including all prescriptions, every procedure he has had, and all the doctors he has seen. Ryan was diagnosed at two-and-a-half years old, after visits to six or seven doctors.   [17:30] Dr. Bansal participated in an ACAAI video about the difficulty of diagnosing EoE. The video is linked in the show notes.   [17:41] It is a challenge to diagnose EoE. Some children have milder forms of the disease. When it's familial, some patients think it's normal for the family. Food sticking is not normal for everyone.   [20:08] The patient may live in an area with a lack of access to a knowledgeable specialist. Sometimes the patient just doesn't know who to see. When you make an appointment, call ahead and ask if they treat EoE at that office. Not all allergists do.   [22:18] A podcast episode with Dr. Emily McGowan told of her research study on the prevalence of EoE in urban vs. rural areas. It's not about rural vs urban but about having access to a specialist. Rural patients couldn't find a specialist. [22:44] Ryan notes that you can use the Specialist Finder at APFED.org/specialist to see if there is a specialist in your area. [23:12] With younger patients, Dr. Bansal finds that food refusal is a sign of EoE; that, and abdominal pain. By age 10, patients can say they are having trouble swallowing or that food is getting stuck.   [24:28] Holly finds that pediatricians are often not aware that picky eating and food aversion or food refusal are different situations. Food aversion comes from painful swallowing. Dr. Bansal is trying to create an understanding of EoE among pediatricians.   [26:15] Another sign Dr. Bansal watches for is FIRE (Food-induced Immediate Response of the Esophagus), which is different from PFAS (Pollen Food Allergy Syndrome). FIRE is a narrowing of the esophagus; PFAS is an oral issue.    [27:13] As we get more research and learn more about the disease state and the nuances, the hope is that we could educate pediatricians on how to differentiate a picky eater from a patient with food aversion, using compensation mechanisms to swallow.   [28:15] Ryan compares this episode to a “greatest hits” episode, referring to FIRE and compensation mechanisms in the pediatric patient population. Those are great episodes for our listeners to go back and hear again.   [29:01] When a patient has an EoE diagnosis, Dr. Bansal practices shared decision-making with the patient. She outlines four options for the patient. The first option is eliminating dairy and known food allergens from the diet.   [31:01] With a food-elimination diet, ask your nutritionist what you need to eat more of because of the foods you are eliminating. If you're taking away dairy, you want to make sure you're getting calcium and Vitamin D. If you're taking away wheat, you need zinc.   [31:20] The second option Dr. Bansal talks about with her patients is a high-dose proton pump inhibitor (PPI). The third option is topical budesonide, swallowed with honey. Budesonide is a 12-week prescription. Flovent can also be swallowed.    [32:46] The fourth option is dupilumab. Insurance companies may require you to fail option 2, the PPI, for eight to 12 weeks before paying for this.   [33:40] Dr. Bansal wants patients to understand that they can change between treatment options but she wants a patient to stay on an option for eight to 12 weeks and get a scope to see how it works before switching to another option. Follow-through is necessary.   [34:42] Listeners can watch the video of Dr. Jonathan Spergel's presentation at EOS Connection 2024 to learn more about eliminating milk for EoE and PPI-responsive EoE patients.   [35:14] Dr. Spergel also touched on nutritional deficiencies from some diet therapies. APFED just recorded a great podcast episode on that, as well.   [35:31] Dr. Sara Bluestein made a presentation at EOS Connection on eosinophilic asthma which included an overview of biologic treatments, not just for EoE but for many eosinophilic disorders.   [36:09] Holly loves Dr. Bansal's team approach with patients, where she acts as the coach, helping guide them toward the decision that will work best for their lives.   [36:20] As a feeding specialist, Holly is excited about the dupilumab option for patients who are on feeding tubes for severe inflammation in the esophagus.   [38:18] Budesonide oral is for 11 and up and dupilumab is for ages one and up. Any doctor who will give a patient the proper care may prescribe these to the patient. For dupilumab, the success rate goes up over time, starting at around 60% to around 80%.   [39:27] You want to get the biologic prescribed and approved for EoE. If it is approved for atopic dermatitis, the dosing is too weak for EoE and it fails at two-week dosing.   [39:56] Biologics need to be continued even when symptoms go away, as the symptoms will return. These two medicines are immunomodulators, not immunosuppressants so they don't increase the risk of other diseases.   [41:50] Patients need biopsies to get therapy.   [42:13] Ryan reminds listeners about the trans-nasal endoscopy podcast episode and the episode on the string test, which don't require sedation.   [43:06] Dr. Bansal notes that in trials, benralizumab failed as a treatment for EoE. It brought down the eosinophil count but it didn't treat the patient's dysphagia symptoms. Some specialists are wondering if there's more to EoE than just the eosinophils.   [44:30] Mepolizumab also reduces eosinophils. It is not known if it is effective against EoE. Tezepelumab is undergoing EoE trials now. It reduces eosinophils in the first two weeks. The data is not out on its effectiveness as an EoE treatment.   [44:51] At EOS Connection 2024, Dr. Bluestein gave a great talk on eosinophilic asthma, including information about biologic treatments. More information is coming out about them and their trials for other eosinophilic diseases.   [45:27] Dr. Bansal talks about how great it is to have new biologic options for people who tried an elimination diet, PPIs, and budesonide without relief from dysphagia. There was a void in the space, which is what dupilumab filled.   [46:27] Allergists think that at least 70% of EoE patients have at least one other atopic disease, such as eczema, allergic rhinitis, polyps, or asthma. In pollen season some patients' EoE gets worse.   [47:11] Dr. Bansal tells patients she doesn't want them dripping and draining into the esophagus. She doesn't want them to add inflammation where there is already inflammation. So she treats their allergies.   [47:44] After a dilation, a patient may feel cured. It's just a stopgap; they'll be back if they don't treat their EoE. Dr. Bansal hopes that allergists treat any allergies as well as the EoE, so the allergies don't have a negative impact on the EoE.   [49:41] There's no harm in getting an evaluation and seeing if there is something you could be doing to minimize the overall disease impact on your body and keep you healthier overall. Inflammation anywhere is never a good thing.   [50:41] Ryan and Holly thank Dr. Bansal for joining the podcast today.   [51:01] Dr. Bansal's last word: “I would advise parents to trust your instincts. If you think that something's wrong, even if somebody's telling you it's not wrong, get to the right people. Some insurances allow you to make an allergist appointment without a referral.”   [52:18] If an allergist tells you there is a problem, know that they have years of experience with allergy patients. Dr. Bansal has hundreds of patients with EoE in the clinic. Create a partnership with an allergist.   [53:12] If you would like to learn more about EoE, please visit APFED.org/EOE.

Sigh, See, Start: How to Be the Parent Your Child Needs in a World That Won't Stop Pushing―A Science-Based Method in Three Simple Steps by Alison Escalante https://amzn.to/49vJ7EP In a perfectionistic parenting culture that tells you that you are never enough no matter how much you do for your kids, this unique approach empowers you with a simple parenting technique to gain confidence, remain grounded, and connect positively with your children. Dr. Alison Escalante is a board-certified pediatrician with more than two decades of experience who has spent the last ten years exploring ways to equip parents to meet their children's needs. She has experienced first-hand the culture of criticism and anxiety that drains parental joy and leaves parents feeling bad about what they should or should not be doing with and for their children. She calls this the parenting “ShouldStorm,” and this book is her invitation to escape that cycle and be the parent your child needs. In this game-changing parenting book, Dr. Escalante outlines her 3-step science-based approach to escaping the ShouldStorm and embracing should-free mindful parenting. Going into detail about each step, she clearly explains how to implement this approach in everyday situations where parents may feel overwhelmed and shares real results from parents and children who use the technique: SIGH: In moments of parental overwhelm, take a breath all the way into your belly. Imagine it's a sigh of relief. Sighs help you stop and center yourself instead of reacting to the "should" in your head. ​ SEE: Notice what's going on. See your child. Are they happy? Are they close to tears? Are their fists balled in anger? START: Then, and only then, start listening, and start thinking about what an appropriate reaction would be. Do they need a hug? Some space? Something else? In the vein of Good Inside, this book offers a simple approach and practical, proven strategies any parent can use. It also explores parenting culture and why it has become more and more intense over recent decades. For anyone who wants a proven toolkit for resisting a parenting culture that shames them when they can't meet unrealistic expectations, Sigh, See, Start is your new go-to tool for joyful parenting.About the author Dr. Alison Escalante is a board-certified pediatrician with more than two decades of experience who has spent the last ten years exploring ways to equip parents to meet their children's needs.

And what on Earth (or who) is driving all the illogical policies and reactions to the pandemic?Dr Robert Malone continues to answer these key questions in this podcast episode titled “Lifting the veil on COVID-19 — with Dr Robert Malone”.

At the start of 2022, we bring you a series of episodes pulling together the five most interesting predictions we found in multiple areas of tech. Today, we look at life sciences tech, where Covid-19 has changed everything. Pushed by the pandemic, the application of digital technologies and AI to life sciences research has accelerated big time, and that will continue into 2022 and more broadly as well. 1. We will likely move to the endemic phase of Covid-19 In 2022, we will move more to the endemic phase of SARS-CoV-2 infection, where we continue to learn to live with the virus,” Elizabeth McNally, director of the Center for Genetic Medicine and the Elizabeth J. Ward Professor of Genetic Medicine at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine, says on Northwestern University's website. Although there are many concerns about new variants, especially Omicron, at this stage it seems like those who are vaccinated and “boostered" are not likely to become very sick after being exposed to the virus. The greatest risk remains for those who choose to avoid vaccination, she says. 2. New and refined methods focusing on the immune system As clinical trials for immune-related therapies in cancer continue to increase, there will be a sharper focus on the immune system in 2022, according to Fios Genomics, a bioinformatics company. Various techniques for the prediction of the immune composition of tumours from bulk data have been developed in the last couple of years and 2022 will see those techniques further refined. 3. Epigenetics research will become more popular Human genome research has traditionally focused on the coding regions of the genome. but, this disregards up to 99 percent of the whole genome. Since these regions contain important regulatory elements that control gene expression, and scientists are becoming more aware of their importance in human diseases, interest in epigenetics—the study of changes in organisms caused by modification of gene expression rather than alteration of the genetic code itself—will increase in 2022, according to Fios Genomics. 4. Increased interest in research into superbugs In 2022, there will be a renewed focus on the fight against superbugs and antimicrobial resistance (AMR), according to Pistoia Alliance, a non-profit outfit funded by the drug companies AstraZeneca, GSK, Novartis and Pfizer. Drug-resistant diseases could cause 10 million deaths each year by 2050 and damage to the global economy will be as catastrophic as the 2008-2009 global financial crisis, according to the United Nations. By 2030, antimicrobial resistance could force up to 24 million people into extreme poverty. 5. Life Sciences R&D to become more efficient The combination of digital process automation, AI and machine learning and content services are beginning to become the game changer it promised to be, Ferdi Steinmann, a life sciences industry specialist at OpenText, a Canadian information management tech company, writes in a blog post. A recent survey by Aris Global, a drug discovery tech platform provider, found that 83 percent of Life Sciences respondents said they were using some form of automation in R&D, he notes. 2022 will see intelligent automation become more prevalent, especially in areas such as manufacturing, quality and commercialisation.

Episode 48. I'm super excited about this conversation today! One of my goals on this podcast is to bring on a variety of viewpoints, not just the exact same anti-diet message. I think it's essential we have conversations about what to do, versus just what not to do (not having diet mentality for example!). I also think we need to keep having productive conversations across a variety of disciplines and we talk about some really cool ones in this episode! I'm really grateful to Alyssa for coming on and sharing her expertise with us this week. Let's dive in! Dr. Vela is an Assistant Professor of Surgery and Psychiatry at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. Dr. Vela earned a PhD in Health Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte where she studied culturally-adapted lifestyle interventions for women with disordered eating and diabetes. She completed her internship/residency in Health Psychology at the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center, and a fellowship in Clinical Health Psychology with an emphasis in medical education with the Michigan Center for Advanced Psychology Training in affiliation with Michigan State College of Human Medicine. She completed her board certification in lifestyle medicine in 2020. Alyssa's main area of research and clinical interest is lifestyle interventions for cardiometabolic health and she has a strong passion for helping people change their lifestyles and health behaviors so they can live their best lives. She is also passionate about addressing health disparities, and providing culturally-sensitive care to all patients, and is actively involved in diversity, equity, and inclusion work and education at Northwestern. In this interview, we cover: What is health psychology/behavioral medicine?What is lifestyle medicine?What is nutritional psychiatry? What do we know about the impact of nutrition and it's impact on mental and emotional well-being? What the pros and cons are of thinking about food as medicine?What do we need to know about how research applies to diverse samples? Want To Support Local Bookstores Near You?

A Crash Course on Motivation, Weight Loss, and HealthEpisode 2: How Dieting Steals Our MotivationEpisode 3: How To Get Motivated To Improve Your Health (Motivation 101)Episode 4: How to Transform Health Fears Into Forward Progress Do you ever worry that you are wasting your life? I definitely did. In fact, I wrote that in my journal many years ago when I was in the middle of the diet-binge roller coaster ride. I woke up every day thinking about food, my body, and what I would eat that day to “be healthy”The notebooks I had filled with calories and points could fill up a spare bedroomSocial events and vacations immediately prompted the thought “they will notice I gained weight” or “I need to lose weight by then”Deep down I knew I wasn't living life the way I wanted to, but I didn't know how to pull myself out of it. If this is you, I want you to imagine what it would feel like to feel empowered ...

Jeffrey Linder, MD, MPH We are told by everyone to value our health and get ourselves checked out once a year. The annual "well-visit" typically includes getting your blood pressure and other vitals taken, blood drawn about a week before or so, and recommendations to have screenings such as colonoscopies done. These have become a staple and are what most primary care doctors are known for. However, are they really necessary? Dr. Jeffrey Linder is a professor and physician at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine who has data saying they might not be. In this episode, we dive into the annual "well-visit" with Dr. Linder and discuss whether or not individuals should be going to them. Originally discussed on a JAMA clinical review podcast, we discuss the useful parts, the not so useful parts, and the real utility of the annual check up. Furthermore, we discuss the role of primary care within healthcare as a whole and how the pandemic affected medicine. For details on the research conducted by Dr. Linder, check out the following links below!

This service from July 31, 2016 was presented by members of the UTUUC Reproductive Justice Committee along with Dr. Cassing Hammond. Dr. Hammond, who delivers the sermon, practices General Obstetrics and Gynecology and also directs the Section and Fellowship in Family Planning & Contraception at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine where he is an Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology.  In 2002, Dr. Hammond launched Northwestern’s Fellowship in Family Planning & Contraception - one of more than 30 fellowship programs throughout the United States and Canada that train physician scientists in complex abortion and contraception care and research. An ardent proponent of reproductive justice, Dr. Hammond chaired the board of directors of the National Abortion Federation (NAF), the nation’s largest professional association of abortion providers. He is one of fifteen founding members of the Society of Family Planning and currently a member of the board of directors of Physicians for Reproductive Health (PRH), the nation’s largest physician-led reproductive rights organization. In 2005 he received NAF’s C. Lalor Burdick Award, given to “Unsung Heroes” of abortion rights. He has also received special recognition for community service from both PRH, Personal PAC Illinois and the Illinois House of Representatives. Dr. Hammond's current research focuses on how contraceptives modify transmission of HIV virus. Cassing and his husband, Scott Fehlan, became members of the Unity Temple Unitarian Universalist Congregation in 2011. Following Dr. Hammond's remarks, the letters of real women expressing their thoughts and feelings around reproduction and abortion are read anonymously by members of the Reproductive Justice Committee. They are Beth Dowell, Jan Johnston, Shirley Lundin, Merritt Kanan and Jen Packhauser. Duane Dowell gives the UU perspective and history on reproductive rights. The theme for July is how to take a path of growth. To read about our theme-based ministry, please visit http://www.unitytemple.org/faith-development/soul-connections on our website.
