Dr. Schlaerth added information about SPPE and told interesting stories of measles. Dr. Arreaza explained some statistics and histed the episode.  Written by Ashna Kapur MS4 Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Katherine Schlaerth, MD, and Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Introduction.According to the CDC, as of April 24, 2025, a total of 884 confirmed measles cases were reported by 30 states, including California, and notably Texas. This is already three times more cases than 2024. There are 3 confirmed deaths so far in the US. What is measles?Measles is a disease that's been around for centuries, nearly eradicated, yet still lingers in parts of the world due to declining vaccination rates. Let's refresh our knowledge about its epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, management, and most importantly — prevention.Definition.Measles, also known as rubeola, is an acute viral respiratory illness caused by the measles virus. It's a single-stranded, negative-sense RNA virus belonging to the Paramyxoviridae family. It's extremely contagious with a transmission rate of up to 90% among non-immune individuals when exposed to an infected person.EpidemiologyBefore the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963, nearly every child got measles by the time they were 15 years old. With the introduction of vaccination, cases and deaths caused by measles significantly declined. For example, in 2018, over 140,000 deaths were reported in the whole world, mostly among children under the age of 5.Measles is still a common disease in many countries, including in Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa. Measles outbreaks have been reported recently in the UK, Israel, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, Ukraine, the Philippines, and more recently in the US. So, let's take prevention seriously to avoid the spread of this disease here at home and abroad. How do we get measles, Ashna?Mode of Transmission:● Air: Spread primarily through respiratory droplets.● Surfaces: The virus remains viable on surfaces or in the air for up to 2 hours. (so, if a person with measles was in a room and you enter the same room within 2 hours, you may still get measles)● Other people: Patients are contagious from 4 days before until 4 days after the rash appears.PathophysiologyThe measles virus first infects the respiratory epithelium, replicates, and then disseminates to the lymphatic system.It leads to transient but profound immunosuppression, which is why secondary infections are common. It affects the skin, respiratory tract, and sometimes the brain, leading to complications like pneumonia or encephalitis.Clinical PresentationThe classic presentation of measles can be remembered in three C's:● Cough● Coryza (runny nose)● ConjunctivitisCourse of Disease (3 Phases):1. Prodromal Phase (2-4 days)○ High fever (can peak at 104°F or 40°C)○ The 3 C's○ Koplik spots: Small white lesions on the buccal mucosa.2. Exanthem Phase○ Maculopapular rash begins on the face (especially around the hairline), then spreads from head to toe. The rash typically combines into 1 big mass as it spreads, and the fever often persists during the rash.3. Recovery Phase○ Rash fades in the same order it appeared.○ Patients remain at risk for complications during and after rash resolution.Complications:● Pneumonia (most common cause of death in children)● Otitis media (most common overall complication)● Encephalitis (can lead to permanent neurologic sequelae)● Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE): A rare, fatal, degenerative CNS disease that can occur years after measles infection.High-risk groups for severe disease include:● Infants and young children● Pregnant women● Immunocompromised individualsDiagnosisClinical diagnosis is sufficient if classic symptoms are present, especially in outbreak settings.Ashna: Laboratory confirmation:● Measles-specific IgM antibodies detected by serology.● RT-PCR from nasopharyngeal, throat, or urine samples.Notify public health authorities immediately upon suspicion or diagnosis of measles to limit spread. ManagementThere is no specific antiviral treatment for measles. Management is supportive:● Hydration (by mouth and only IV in case of severe dehydration)● Antipyretics (e.g., acetaminophen) for fever● Oxygen if hypoxicVitamin A supplementation:● Recommended for all children with acute measles, particularly in areas with high vitamin A deficiency. It has shown to reduce morbidity and mortality.Hospitalization may be necessary for:● Severe respiratory compromise● Dehydration● Neurologic complicationsPrevention: We live in perilous times and vaccination is under scrutiny right now. Before the measles vaccine, about 48,000 people were hospitalized and 400–500 people died in the United States every year. Measles was declared eradicated in the US in 2000, but the vaccination coverage is no longer 95%. How do we prevent measles?Vaccination is the cornerstone of prevention.● MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella):○ First dose at 12-15 months of age.○ Second dose at 4-6 years of age.○ 97% effective after 2 doses.The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has noted that febrile seizures typically occur 7 to 12 days after vaccination with MMR, with an estimated incidence of 3.3 to 8.7 per 10,000 doses. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that febrile seizures following MMR vaccination are rare and not associated with any long-term effects. The risk of febrile seizures is higher when the MMR vaccine is administered as part of the combined MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella) vaccine compared to the MMR vaccine alone.Post-exposure prophylaxis:● MMR vaccine within 72 hours of exposure (if possible).● Immunoglobulin within 6 days for high-risk individuals (e.g., infants, pregnant women, immunocompromised).Herd immunity requires at least 95% vaccination coverage to prevent outbreaks.Key Takeaways● Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that can lead to severe complications.● Diagnosis is often clinical, but lab confirmation helps with public health tracking.● Treatment is mainly supportive, with Vitamin A playing a critical role in reducing complications.● Vaccination remains the most effective tool to eliminate measles worldwide.While measles might seem like a disease of the past, it can make a dangerous comeback without continued vigilance and vaccination efforts.Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser.

Early otitis media puts children at risk for later auditory and language deficitsAbstractBackground: Otitis media is a common disorder of early childhood suspected of hindering auditory and language development, but evidence regarding these effects has been contradictory. To examine potential sources of these contradictory past results and explore in more detail the effects of early otitis media on auditory and language development, three specific hypotheses were tested: (1) Variability in children's general attention could influence results, especially for measures of auditory functioning, leading to spurious findings of group differences; (2) Different language skills may be differentially affected, evoking different effects across studies depending on skills assessed; and (3) Different mechanisms might account for the effects of otitis media on acquisition of different language skills, a finding that would affect treatment choices.Method: Children 5-10 years old participated: 49 with and 68 without significant histories of otitis media. The auditory function examined was temporal modulation detection, using games designed to maintain children's attention; two additional measures assessed that attention. Measures of lexical knowledge and phonological sensitivity served as the language measures.Results: Sustained attention was demonstrated equally across groups of children with and without histories of otitis media. Children with histories of otitis media performed more poorly than peers without those histories on the auditory measure and on both sets of language measures, but effects were stronger for phonological sensitivity than lexical knowledge. Deficits in temporal modulation detection accounted for variability in phonological sensitivity, but not in lexical knowledge.Conclusion: When experimental factors are tightly controlled, evidence emerges showing effects of otitis media early in life on both auditory and language development. Mechanism of effects on language acquisition appear to involve both delayed auditory development and diminished access to the ambient language.Keywords: Children; Language; Otitis media; Temporal processing.

Beim Geriatrischen Vestibularsyndrom handelt es sich um eine Störung des Gleichgewichtsorgans. Symptome sind Schwierigkeiten mit dem Gleichgewicht und Koordination, Kopfschiefhaltung, Schielen der Augen oder unkontrollierte, rhythmische Augenbewegungen. Das Geriatrische Vestibularsyndrom tritt vor allem bei älteren Hunden und Katzen auf und zählt zu den häufigsten neurologischen Erkrankungen dieser Haustiere. Ursachen können eine Otitis interna (Innenohrentzündung), eine Hypothyreose (Unterfunktion der Schilddrüse) oder auch Tumore im Innenohr sein.  Bei Symptomen sofort zum Tierarzt Behandelt wird das geriatrischen Vestibularsyndroms in erster Linie mit einer kreislaufstabilisierenden Infusion und der Abgabe von Medikamenten gegen Übelkeit und Erbrechen. In einigen Fällen kann auch eine leichte Sedation hilfreich sein. Gute Heilungschancen Selbst wenn ein Gleichgewichtsorgan dauerhaft beschädigt bleibt, kann im Verbund mit anderen Komponenten die Funktion des Gleichgewichtssystem weitestgehend wieder übernommen werden. Meistens bleibt aber die Kopfschiefhaltung bestehen.

Signs of an ear infection with Dr. Laura Brown

Many dog owners have learned to recognize the telltale signs of an ear infection: whining, scratching, and head shaking are often the first symptoms of the problem. Ear infections are common conditions in dogs, especially those with floppy ears such as Basset Hounds and Cocker Spaniels. An estimated 20 percent of dogs have some form of ear disease, which may affect one or both ears. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to reduce the length and severity of these episodes for your dog. There are dog ear care products to help prevent issues from reoccurring. There are three types of ear infections, known formally as otitis externa, media, and interna. The most common is otitis externa, in which inflammation affects the layer of cells lining the external portion of the ear canal. Otitis media and interna refer to infections of the middle and inner ear canal, respectively. These infections often result from the spread of infection from the external ear. Otitis media and interna can be very serious and may result in deafness, facial paralysis, and vestibular signs. That's why it's important to prevent infections and seek early treatment when problems arise. Symptoms of Dog Ear Infections Some dogs show no symptoms of ear infection aside from a buildup of wax and discharge in the ear canal. But ear infections often cause significant discomfort and affected dogs may show signs such as: Head shaking Scratching at the affected ear Dark discharge Odor Redness and swelling of the ear canal Pain Itchiness Crusting or scabs in the ears What Causes Ear Infections in Dogs? The canine ear canal is more vertical than that of a human, forming an L-shape that tends to hold in fluid. This makes dogs more prone to ear infections. Ear infections are typically caused by bacteria, yeast, or a combination of both. In puppies, ear mites can also be a source of infection. Factors that may predispose your dog to ear infections include: Moisture, which can create a prime growing environment for bacteria and yeast Allergies, which lead to ear disease in about 50 percent of dogs with allergic skin disease and 80 percent of dogs with food sensitivities Endocrine disorders, such as thyroid disease Autoimmune disorders Wax buildup Foreign bodies Injury to the ear canal Excessive cleaning Precise Diagnosis Needed for a Dog's Ear Infections If your dog is showing any of the common signs of ear infections, it's important to consult with your veterinarian as soon as possible. Quick treatment is necessary not only for your dog's comfort (these conditions can be painful!), but also to prevent the spread of infection to the middle and inner ear. Don't try to treat ear infections at home. Be prepared to provide your vet with a thorough history of the problem. This is especially important for first-time infections, or if you are seeing a new veterinarian. Your vet will want to know the following: Duration of any symptoms, such as pain, swelling, discharge, and odor If your dog has any allergies or other underlying medical conditions If your dog is on medication What your dog has been eating How often you clean your dog's ears and which dog ear cleaning products you use If you've trimmed or plucked the hair in your dog's ears Recent activities, such as baths, grooming, or swimming If your dog has a history of ear infections, when they occurred, and how they were treated After obtaining your dog's history, your veterinarian will perform a physical examination. In severe cases, your vet may also recommend sedating your dog to facilitate examination deep within the ear canal. Your vet will evaluate both ears, and the exam may include: Visual assessment to look for signs such as redness, swelling, and discharge Examination with an otoscope, which allows evaluation of the ear canal and eardrum Gentle palpation of the ear to assess level of pain Microscopic examination of samples taken by swabbing the ear Culture of samples from the ear Biopsies or X-rays in severe or chronic cases How are Dog Ear Infections Treated? Your veterinarian will thoroughly clean your dog's ears using a medicated ear cleanser. Your vet may also prescribe your dog prescription ear drops for you to use at home. In severe cases of dog ear infections, your vet may prescribe oral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Most uncomplicated ear infections resolve within 1–2 weeks, once appropriate treatment begins. But severe infections or those due to underlying conditions may take months to resolve, or may become chronic problems. In cases of severe chronic disease where other treatments have failed, your veterinarian may recommend surgery such as a Total Ear Canal Ablation (TECA). A TECA surgery removes the ear canal, thus removing the diseased tissue and preventing the recurrence of infection. It is important to follow your veterinarian's instructions closely and return to the veterinary hospital for any recommended recheck appointments. Lapses in your dog's treatment may lead to the recurrence of the infection. It is especially important that you finish the full course of your dog's medication, even if your dog appears to be getting better. Failure to finish the full course of treatment may lead to additional problems such as resistant infections. Can You Prevent Ear Infections in Dogs? As with most diseases, prevention is always best. Excess moisture is a common cause of ear infections, so be sure to thoroughly dry your dog's ears after swimming and bathing. Ask your veterinarian if a dog ear powder would be a good option for helping keep your dog's ears dry. If your dog is prone to chronic or recurrent ear infections, identifying and managing any underlying causes such as allergies can also help prevent new infections from occurring. Cleaning your dog's ears at home can also help prevent ear infections. Jeff Grognet, DVM, a columnist for AKC Family Dog, advises the following steps for ear cleaning: “First, fill the canal with a dog ear cleaning solution and massage the vertical ear canal from the outside. Wipe out the canal with absorbent gauze. Don't use paper towels or cotton because these may leave fibers behind, and those could cause irritation.” Cotton swabs may also be useful for cleaning your dog's pinnae (the external ear flaps) but avoid using them in the ear canal, which may inadvertently push debris deeper into the canal. You can also find dog ear cleaning wipes that are helpful for clearing away dirt and debris from the external ear flaps. Ear infections are a common and often recurrent problem in many dogs, but, with your veterinarian's help, you can keep your dog's ears clean and comfortable. If your dog is showing signs of an ear infection, always talk to your vet and seek treatment right away to ensure the problem does not become serious. Visit your local Veterinarian if you have any of these symptoms.

She also talks about how best to clear ear wax from a baby's ears.   While Dr. Keim doesn't talk about swimmer's ear in this episode, she covers it in the Holistic Mamas Handbook for those who want that info. But for ear infections and wax, you're going to learn a lot in this episode. What do you look for in terms of ear infection symptoms in an infant? What modalities offer the most help? What supplements can be given to babies? Are Q-Tips really as bad as people say? Carole answers all these questions related and more.In this episode:Otitis media (ear infection)  01:09Symptoms: ear pain, sometimes also fever.  Pain is worse with pressure on canal and tragus, and a little worse with pulling on pinna.  Typically occurs along with (or just after) congestion/URI symptoms/allergies - anything that causes swelling in the nasopharynx.  More common in babies who lie down with a bottle and those who are formula fed.  If untreated, can cause ruptured eardrum, mastoiditis, and rarely meningitis.  Recurrent AOM can cause scarring of the eardrum, and persistent fluid can cause verbal delays.  Western - ibuprofen x 48h.  Antibiotics for bacterial AOM - high dose.  Ear tubes for recurrent AOM.  Decongestants for symptoms (ginger, steam, nasal saline, spicy foods), fluids, rest.  Chiro - neck adjustments and craniosacral therapy help fluid to drain; can treat the active infection and/or prevent future infections.  Definitely recommended for children at risk of needing ear tubes.Acu - acupuncture and/or herbs can help Nutrition/supplements -  avoid sugar and dairy as these feed bacterial infection.  Can use immune boosting vitamins like vit C, vit D, zinc, echinacea, elderberry for viral infections.  Most AOM is viral.   Naturopathy - onion earmuffs / garlic oil, NAC or mucinex to thin secretions, eustachian tube massage / fascial manipulation, wet socks Homeopathy - allium cepa, pulsatilla, belladona, calcarea carbonicaOils - Pain mix: 1/2 oz vegetable oil, 10 drops lavender, 5 drops german chamomile, 6 drops palmarosa, 3 drops cardamom; mix and put 1-2 drops into ear for pain. Infection mix 1: 1/2 oz vegetable oil, 3 drops thyme, 3 drops lavender, 10 drops roman chamomile, 3 drops palmarosa; mix and put 1-2 drops into affected ear.  If the ear is very painful, you can wet a washcloth with warm water, put 1/2 teaspoon on the washcloth, and use as a warm compress outside the ear.  Earwax  19:30Symptoms: often asymptomatic, sometimes hearing loss / verbal delay, wax leaking from ears, sometimes discomfort.Western - q-tips / cotton swabs daily or for yellow wax (medical community is split on this, some recommend doing nothing); for brown wax use debrox, hydrogen peroxide, ear wash (irrigation) with warm water and dish soap, curette removal, baby oil, colace drops.  Chiro - n/aAcu - no acupuncture but chinese herbal drops, ear candling Nutrition/supplements -  garlic mullein oil or olive oil drops in the ears can help break up wax and make it flush out more easily Naturopathy - fish oil (po) (mom can take if breastfeeding), food intolerances if chronic, ear lavage with hydrogen peroxide (syringe with dull needle)Homeopathy - not really, would need to be as part of a constellation of symptoms Oils - no EOs, can use olive oil or garlic mullein Check out Holistic Mamas Handbook for swimmer's ear!  Next week: teething!Dr. Keim has extensively researched the information presented in this episode.

M. catarrhalis causes about 15-20% of otitis media cases. Symptoms of otitis media in children include pulling or tugging at the ears, irritability, headache, disturbed or restless sleep, poor feeding, anorexia, vomiting, or diarrhea. In COPD patients, exacerbations are often due to bacterial and viral infections. M. catarrhalis is a bug to keep in mind and symptoms of a COPD exacerbation caused by this bug are very similar to those caused by other bacteria, including increased sputum production, sputum purulence, and dyspnea. Pneumonia due to M. catarrhalis is a cause of pneumonia in elderly patients, especially in elderly patients with an underlying cardiopulmonary disease like COPD. These infections are usually treated empirically with broad spectrum antibiotics such as 3rd generation cephalosporins and amoxicillin-clavulonic acid.
