Dr. Sharon Kolasinski is a professor of clinical medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and chief of the Division of Rheumatology at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. Part 1 Her objectives in the presentation are to help listeners by learning about evidence-based treatment for patients with osteoarthritis (OA), to understand the process by which guidelines are developed that might help us figure out our evidence-based approach, to review the recommended treatments for OA, and to review some treatments that are not recommended for OA. Her basic evidence-based reference is a University of Pennsylvania guideline that was published in 2020. Numerous other guidelines are available, which she described. She discussed her work with a case involving a 55-year-old male patient. He arrived for routine follow-up care for immunosuppressive medication monitoring. He described pains that he was experiencing and was diagnosed with OA. She indicated the impacts OA has on patients. Clinicians find it a daunting challenge to provide satisfactory treatment. For example, for some clinicians, the guidelines do not appear to be clear and provide a roadmap. Also, they do not always believe in the recommendations contained in the guidelines. In this presentation, she wants to see if she can change some minds about guidelines. She provided an example based on investigations conducted at her institution. The outcome was a series of recommendations that she described. Part 2 Dr. Kolasinski began Part 2 of her presentation by continuing to focus on the importance of having patients with OA engage in physical activity. She stated that “they are worn out and the implication is that a doctor is needed to fix them.” Perhaps a perspective should be taken of a more participatory discourse where we encourage physical therapy and emphasize that physical exercise is safe when you have arthritis and focus on what the patient can do, empowering them to exercise. A starting point is to give patients a physical therapy prescription. She discussed the extent to which physical therapy is useful, along with indicating how much and how frequently exercise is beneficial (e.g., for 20 minutes, three times a week). Losing weight is an effective way of reducing symptoms. Food choices can affect OA symptoms. Diet and exercise used together can produce effective results. References were made to several studies that involve the status of steroid injections on improving patient health status. Acupuncture also was mentioned. She indicated conditional recommendations on the use of pharmacological interventions. She concluded by describing how to treat the 55-year-old patient she mentioned in Part 1 of her presentation.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Speaking from the floor of the House of Representatives, Congressman Jim Jordan spoke out against reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act—which has improperly been used 278,000 times for warrantless surveillance of American citizens, according to reports from The New York Times. 4:15pm- On Wednesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene spoke with members of the press on Capitol Hill where she commented on potentially voting to remove Speaker of the House Mike Johnson: "How he handles the FISA process and how he handles funding Ukraine is going to tell our entire conference how to handle the motion to vacate." 4:20pm- Ellie Rushing, Max Marin, and Robert Moran of The Philadelphia Inquirer write: “A shooting erupted during an Eid al-Fitr event in West Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon, injuring at least two people and causing pandemonium near one of the neighborhood's largest mosques. Police responded to reports of gunfire around 2:30 p.m. near Philadelphia Masjid on the 4700 block of Wyalusing Avenue. At least two people were shot and taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, and one of the two is in custody. A police officer also fired their service weapon at the scene. The officer was not hurt and it was not immediately clear if they shot anyone.” You can read more about this developing story here: https://www.inquirer.com/crime/ramadan-eid-shooting-parkside-west-philadelphia-20240410.html 4:40pm- While speaking at an event being held at the Islamic Center of Boston, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said “I believe that they'll find that it is genocide, and they have ample evidence to do so”—referring to Israel's war against Hamas.

One voter said of Biden, “if he doesn't get elected, that is his fault. That's not our fault. That's not the black voters. That's not XYZ. No, it's on him.”

For the record, the Congressional Budget Office reported Monday that the federal budget deficit for the first six months of fiscal 2024, ending in March, was $1.064 trillion. Enjoy it, because you'll eventually pay for it in higher taxes.” You can read the full editorial here: https://www.wsj.com/articles/government-deficit-spending-taxes-interest-payments-cbo-fiscal-2020-3616b6bc?mod=opinion_lead_pos2 4:05pm- Speaking from the floor of the House of Representatives, Congressman Jim Jordan spoke out against reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act—which has improperly been used 278,000 times for warrantless surveillance of American citizens, according to reports from The New York Times. 4:15pm- On Wednesday, Rep.

During a recent interview with Univision, President Joe Biden claimed his administration is “examining” whether he has power to shut down the U.S. Southern border. Judd explains, Biden “is full of crap”—the executive branch has had the authority to prevent mass illegal migration, but the administration has simply refused to act. Judd notes that border patrol is arresting over 3,000 people each day for entering the U.S. unlawfully with an additional 1,000 migrants evading custody altogether.   6:30pm- Liz Wolfe of Reason writes: “Back in August 2022, when some of us were fresh-faced and naive, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) assured us that their $80 billion infusion of cash (over the course of a decade, so they could hire some 87,000 new workers, including but not limited to men with guns) would actually be a means of targeting millionaire and billionaire scofflaws, not ordinary middle-class earners.” However, according to new reports, the IRS is targeting middle-class earners.

“It's really an exciting time to be in the field of oncology because we can have these specific drugs that target these specific variants rather than, back in the day, when we had to use kind of generic cancer therapies that weren't specific for an individual's cancer,” ONS member Suzanne Walker, PhD, CRNP, AOCN®, senior advanced practice provider and coordinator for thoracic malignancies at the Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in Philadelphia, PA, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a discussion about the latest updates in chemotherapy and immunotherapy treatments.

And primarily we've seen this not only from reductions in smoking and earlier cancer detection, but advancements in some of our treatments, most notably in the realm of immunotherapy and targeted therapy.” Timestamp (TS) 02:07 “With the discovery of the biomarkers, it has brought around the discovery of genomic-driven therapies that are specific to these biomarkers. That's really changed the landscape of oncology for people that have one of these driver variants.” TS 07:55 “I've definitely seen in my practice where therapy has been completed and, especially for some of these immunotherapy drugs, a couple of months later the patient develops a toxicity that is from the prior immunotherapy. Even chemotherapy can have some long-term toxicities, but we do have to even keep it in mind for immunotherapy that once these drugs are finished, there still could be some long-term side effects. Since they are newer drugs, we still are learning about what some of these long-term toxicities look like.” TS 26:56 “There haven't been a ton of new FDA approvals specific for chemotherapy; however, we have seen chemotherapy still used in practice, particularly in combination with some of these novel therapies. Particularly, we see a lot of chemotherapy and immunotherapy combinations.” TS 27:47

So, Dr. Sloane got himself interested in urology. Later, Dr. Sloane wanted to promote more wellness. As a urologist, it was a perfect fit. Also, Dr. Sloane got himself interested in age management medicine, functional medicine, and peptides. [07:20] What Dr. Sloane Looks At When Treating Erectile Dysfunction First, Dr. Sloane checks free and total testosterone levels. However, the first test is not accurate. Nitric oxide is a key molecule for erections. When you hit 50, your levels of nitric oxide getting produced by the endothelial in your body decline drastically. Nitric oxide is a very important molecule in terms of just overall cardiovascular health, especially with erections. Also, Dr. Sloane will have a conversation about diet and exercise with his patients. [10:05] How To Boost Nitric Oxide Without Supplementation Diet is a big one when it comes to increasing nitric oxide levels. Sloane recommends adding these foods to your diet: Arugula Beets Bok choy After adding those foods to your diets, there are some other ways to improve nitric oxide levels: Exercise Good sleep Nose breathing [12:45] What You Can Do To Improve Your Prostate Health Lots of greens are going to be good for your prostate. A good diet with minimal sugar and carbs will be good for your prostate health. Sloane recommends checking out these supplements: https://theralogix.com/ Prostate cancer is genetically related. So make sure that you are getting tested regularly. Genetic screening and genetic counseling could be a great way of prevention.   [19:55] How Porn Brain Is Affecting Our Quality of Life Porn brain has been debated; some people do not feel that exists. However, Dr. Sloane says that porn is addicting. Men have to mimic the porn in their real sexual life, but they can't. So, they have a hard time getting turned on. Plus, porn leads to desensitization. Even with Instagram, it's an unattainable goal and a real issue. [22:50] All About GAINSWave And The Benefits of Using It GAINSWave is the premium brand of extracorporeal shockwave therapy for ED, performed by our network of highly-trained medical providers. It has been used in Europe for many years. The waves will break up any blockages the blood vessels have. Most of the time, ED is a blood vessel problem.

You have to be in good health in order to respond to GAINSWave. Learn more about GAINSWave: https://gainswave.com/ [30:15] The Role That Sleep Plays When It Comes To Your Sexual Health Sleep is a big deal.

Today, Dr. Todd Barton shares how being open and honest with our own struggles will ultimately lead us to the right path. He explains that we can take the pressure off trying to be outstanding in everything in our lives. But at the same time, it will serve us well to do the best we can—and try to get as much as possible out of each experience. In his own career, Dr. Todd Barton is forthcoming about what he struggled with, what he decided was not right for him, and figuring out what his true passions were. He assures us that the environments we are in, the people we meet, and the experiences we have will be our greatest guides toward our own passions in medicine. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Embrace kindness: something you observed in your parents who were a symbol for kindness for you early in your life in the early parts of the AIDS epidemic. 2. We have to give ourselves permission not to be the best. 3. Key trait of a mentee is flexibility - the flexibility to adapt to different challenges, opportunities, rotations, experiences that we go through in order to find the one we will really focus on. 4. We have to be intentional, only only about our work in the hospital, but our life outside of the hospital.

Telehealth has become part of our new normal as we practice physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Several of the barriers that prevented us from being able to see our doctors for an appointment via a telephone call or a video call have now been managed. However, it’s still a new way to receive healthcare, and both patients and clinicians are adjusting. Learn from Neilanjan Nandi, MD, gastroenterologist and Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and the University of Pennsylvania about what patients can do to be ready for their telehealth appointments and what it’s like from the doctor’s side of the video conference call. Concepts discussed on this episode: What Is Dyspnea? An Overview of Anal or Rectal Abscess Anemia and Its Relationship With IBD How to Use Telehealth Services During the COVID-19 Outbreak and Beyond For more information on telehealth appointments, see Tips for Telehealth and Managing Your IBD Care During the COVID-19 Pandemic from Tina Aswani Omprakash of Own Your Crohn's.

Dr. Benoit Dube is an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine, Associate Vice Provost, and the inaugural Chief Wellness Officer at the University of Pennsylvania. Indeed, he’s the first in the Ivy League to hold such a position, which is, in itself, a response to the urgent mental health issues facing college campuses. Dr. Dube is a core member of the University Life team, directing wellness initiatives across the University and overseeing a new division of Student Wellness Services that includes the Offices of Alcohol and Other Drug Program Initiatives, Campus Health, Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), Penn Violence Prevention, and the Student Health Service. He began at Penn in 1997 as a Resident and is now an Attending Physician at the Hospital of the U. of Pennsylvania, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, and Pennsylvania Hospital. He received a Provost’s Award for Teaching Excellence in 2011, earned an M.D. from the University of Montreal in 1997, and a BSc in Psychology from Concordia University in 1992. Stew and Benoit discuss the importance of creating a culture of wellness, decreasing the stigma associated with mental illness, and making it easier for people to ask for help. They discuss some of the changes he is making in the short-term, since he began as Chief Wellness Officer just a few months ago, as well as his vision for long-term change. For starters, students now have no wait time to speak with a counselor, who are available 24/7 -- that’s a significant change. Benoit would like to see mental health and physical health all housed in and addressed in the same physical space. He’d like to create an environment where students learn the life skills to manage stressful situations, to modulate their emotions, to see stress as an opportunity for growth, and to know that it’s OK to ask for help. He envisions a new academic department in which research, science, theory, and practice related to wellness -- whether in nursing, psychology, medicine, philosophy, or elsewhere throughout the university -- are brought into one hub of innovation. Ultimately, he’d like Penn students to bring evidence-based practices for producing wellness into the world when they graduate. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
