Episode 164: More Than Just A HeadacheDr. Song presents a case of a subacute headache that required an extensive workup and multiple visits to the hospital and clinic to get a diagnosis. Dr. Arreaza added comments about common causes of subacute headaches.    Written by Zheng (David) Song, MD. Editing and comments by 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 to the episode: We are happy to announce the class of 2027 of the Rio Bravo / Clinica Sierra Vista Family Medicine Residency Program. Our new group will be (in alphabetical order): Ahamed El Azzih Mohamad, Basiru Omisore, Kenechukwu Nweke, Mariano Rubio, Nariman Almnini, Patrick De Luna, Sheila Toro, and Syed Hasan. We welcome all of you. We hope you can enjoy 3 enriching and fulfilling years. During this episode, you will hear a conversation between Dr. Arreaza and Dr. Song. Some elements of the case have been modified or omitted to protect the patient's confidentiality. 1. Introduction to the case: Headache. A 40-year-old male with no significant PMH presents to the ED in a local hospital due to over a month history of headaches. Per the patient, headaches usually start from the bilateral temporal side as a tingling sensation, and it goes to the frontal part of the head and then moves up to the top of the head. 8 out of 10 severities were the worst. Pt reports sometimes hypersensitivity to outdoor sunlight but not indoor light. OTC ibuprofen was helpful for the headache, but the headache always came back after a few hours. The patient states that if he gets up too quickly, he feels slightly dizzy sometimes, but it is only for a short period of time. There was only one episode of double vision lasting a few seconds about 2 weeks ago but otherwise, the patient denies any other neurological symptom. He does not know the cause of the headache and denies any similar history of headaches in the past. The patient denies any vomiting, chest pain, shortness of breath, cough, abdominal pain, or joint pain. The patient further denies any recent traveling or sick contact. He does not take any chronic medication. The patient denies any previous surgical history. He does not smoke, drink, or use illicit drugs. What are your differential diagnoses at this moment? Primary care: Tension headache, migraines, chronic sinusitis, and more.2. Continuation of the case: Fever and immigrant.Upon further inquiries, the patient endorses frequent “low-grade fever” but he did not check his temperature. He denies any significant fatigue, night sweats, or weight loss. He migrated from Bolivia to the U.S. 12 years ago and has been working as a farm worker in California for the past 10 years. He is married. His wife and daughter are at home in Bolivia. He is currently living with friends. He is not sexually active at this moment and denies having any sexual partners. Differential diagnoses at this moment?  Tension headache, migraine, infections, autoimmune disease, neurocysticercosis. 3. Continuation of the case: Antibiotics and eosinophilia. As we kept asking for more information, the patient remembered he visited a clinic about four months ago for a dry cough and was told he had bronchitis and was given antibiotics and the cough got better after that. He went to another local hospital ED one month after that because the cough came back, now with occasional phlegm and at that time he also noticed two “bumps” on his face but nothing significant. After a CXR at the ED, the patient was diagnosed with community-acquired pneumonia and sent home with cough medication and another course of antibiotics. His cough improved after the second round of antibiotics. We later found on the medical record that the CXR showed “mild coarse perihilar interstitial infiltrates of unknown acuity”. His blood works at the ED showed WBC 15.2, with lymphocyte 21.2%, monocyte 10.1%, neutrophil 61.7%, eosinophil 5.9% (normally 1-4%), normal kidney, liver functions, and electrolytes, and prescribed with benzonatate 100mg TID and doxycycline 100mg bid for 10 days. He went to the same ED one month before he saw us for headache and fever (we reviewed his EMR, and temp was 99.8F at the ED). After normal CBC, CMP and chest x-ray. The patient was diagnosed with a viral illness and discharged home with ibuprofen 400mg q8h.Due to the ongoing symptoms of headache and fever, the patient went back to the same clinic he went to four months ago for a dry cough and requested a complete physical and blood work. The patient was told he had a viral condition and was sent home with oseltamivir (Tamiflu®) for five days. However, the provider did order some blood work for him. Differential diagnoses at this moment?  Patients with subacute meningitis typically have an unrelenting headache, stiff neck, low-grade fever, and lethargy for days to several weeks before they present for evaluation. Cranial nerve abnormalities and night sweats may be present. Common causative organisms include M. tuberculosis, C. neoformans, H. capsulatum, C. immitis, and T. pallidum. At his physical exam visit, the patient actually asked the provider specifically to check him for coccidiomycosis because of his job as a farm worker and he heard from his friends that the infection rate is pretty high in the Central Valley of California. His serum cocci serology panel showed positive IGG and IGM with CF titer of 1:128. His HIV, syphilis, HCV, HBV are all negative. The patient was told by that clinic to come to ED due to his history of headache, fever, and very high serum coccidiomycosis titer.  The senior and resident intern were on the night shift that night and we were contacted by the ED provider at around 9:30 pm for this patient. When reviewing his ED record, his vitals were totally normal at the ED, the preliminary ED non-contrast head CT showed no acute intracranial abnormality. A lumbar puncture was performed by the ED provider, which showed WBCs (505 - 71%N, 20%L, 7%M), RBC (1), glucose (19), and protein (200). CSF: High Leukocytes, low glucose, and high protein.On the physical exam, the patient was pleasant and cooperative, he was A&O x 4, he had a normal examination except for two brown healing small nodules on his forehead and left cheek and slight neck stiffness. At that point, we knew the patient most likely had fungal meningitis by cocci except for the predominant WBC in his CSF fluid was neutrophil not the more typical picture of lymphocyte dominant. And because of his very benign presentation and subacute history, we were not 100% sure if we had a strong reason to admit this patient. We thought this patient could be managed as an outpatient with oral fluconazole and referred to infectious disease and neurology. 4. Continuation of case: Admission to the hospital.Looking back, one thing that was overlooked while checking this patient in the ED was the LP opening pressure. Later, the open pressure was reported as 340mm H2O (very high). The good thing was, after speaking to the ED attending and our attending, the patient was admitted to the hospital and started on oral fluconazole.  Three hours after the admission, a rapid response was called on him. While the floor nurses were doing their check-in physical examination, the patient had a 5-minute episode of seizure-like activity which included bilateral tonic arm/hand movements, eye deviation to the left, LOC unresponsive to sternal rub, and the patient desaturated to 77%. He eventually regained consciousness after the seizure and pulse oximetry increased to 100% on room air. The patient was started on Keppra and seen by a neurologist the following day. His 12-hour EEG was normal, but his head MRI showed “diffuse thickening and nodularity of the basal meninges are seen demonstrating enhancement, suggesting chronic meningitis, possibly related to cocci. Other etiologies including sarcoidosis and TB meningitis and/or infiltration by metastatic process/lymphoma are not excluded. The ventricles are slightly prominent in size”. MRI of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spines also showed extensive diffuse leptomeningeal thickening, extensive meningitis, and nodular dural thickening. Also, his chest x-ray showed “some heterogeneity and remodeling of the distal half of the left clavicle. Metabolic bone disease, infectious etiology and/old trauma considered”. This could also be due to disseminated cocci infection. The infectious disease doctor saw this patient and recommended continuing with fluconazole, serial LPs until opening pressure is less than 250 mmH2O and neurosurgery consultation for possible VP shunt placement. The neurologist recommended the patient continue with Keppra indefinitely in the context of structural brain damage secondary to cocci meningitis.Take home points: Suspect cocci meningitis in patients with subacute headache associated with respiratory symptoms, new skin lesions, photophobia, neck stiffness, nausea, vomiting, eosinophilia, erythema nodosum (painful nodules on the anterior aspect of legs). Other symptoms to look for include arthralgias, particularly of the ankles, knees, and wrists.____________________Brief summary of coccidiomycosis. Etiology Coccidioidomycosis, commonly known as Valley fever, is caused by dimorphic soil-dwelling fungi of the genus Coccidioides (C. immitis and C. posadasii). They are indistinguishable in clinical presentation and routine laboratory test results.1, 2, 3, 5Epidemiology In the United States, endemic areas include the southern portion of the San Joaquin Valley of California and the south-central region of Arizona. However, infection may be acquired in other areas of the southwestern United States, including the southern coastal counties in California, southern Nevada, southwestern Utah, southern New Mexico, and western Texas (including the Rio Grande Valley). There are also cases in eastern Washington state and in northeastern Utah. Outside the United States, coccidioidomycosis is endemic to northern Mexico as well as to localized regions of Central and South America.1, 2Overall, the incidence within the United States increased substantially over the 1998-2019, most of that increase occurred in south-central Arizona and in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California. From 1998 to2019, reported cases in California increased from 719 to 9004.1, 6The risk of infection is increased by direct exposure to soil harboring Coccidioides. Past outbreaks have occurred in military trainees, archaeologists, construction or agricultural workers, people exposed to earthquakes or dust storms. However, in endemic areas, many cases of Coccidioides infection occur without obvious soil or dust exposure and are not associated with outbreaks. Change in population, climate change, urbanization and construction activities, and increased awareness and reporting, are possible contributing factors.1, 2, 5 Pathology In the soil, Coccidioides organisms exist as filamentous molds. Small structures called arthroconidia from the hyphae may become airborne for extended periods. Arthroconidia are usually 3-5 μm—small enough to evade bronchial tree mucosal mechanical defenses and reach deep into the lungs.1, 3Once inhaled by a susceptible host into the lung, the arthroconidia develop into spherules (theparasitic existence in a host), which are unique to Coccidioides. Endospores from ruptured spherules can themselves develop into spherules, thus propagating infection locally.1, 3, 5Although rare cases of solid organ donor-derived or fomite transmitted infections have been reported, coccidioidomycosis does not occur in person-to-person or zoonotic contagion, and transplacental infection in humans has never been documented.2, 5Cellular immunity plays a crucial role in the host's control of coccidioidomycosis. Among individuals with decreased cellular immunity, Coccidioides may spread locally or hematogenously after an initial symptomatic or asymptomatic pulmonary infection to extrathoracic organs.1, 3, 7Clinical manifestationThe majority of infected individuals (about 60%) are completely asymptomatic. Symptomatic persons (40% of cases) have symptoms that are related principally to pulmonary infection, including cough, dyspnea, and pleuritic chest pain. Some patients may also experience fever, headache (common finding in early-stage infection and does not represent meningitis), fatigue, night sweats, rash, myalgia.1, 2, 3, 5In most patients, primary pulmonary coccidioidomycosis usually resolves in weeks without sequelae and lifelong immunity to reinfection. However, some patients may develop chronic pulmonary complications, such as nodules or pulmonary cavities, or chronic fibrocavitary pneumonia. Some individuals with intense environmental exposure or profoundly suppressed cellular immunity (e.g., in patients with AIDS) may develop a primary pneumonia with diffuse reticulonodular pulmonary process in association with dyspnea and fever.1, 3, 5Fewer than 1% of infected individuals develop extrathoracic disseminated coccidioidal infection. Common sites for dissemination include joints and bones, skin and soft tissues, and meninges. One site or multiple anatomic foci may be affected. 1, 2, 3, 7It is estimated that coccidioidal meningitis, the most lethal complication of coccidioidomycosis, affects only 0.1% of all exposed individuals. Patients with coccidioidal meningitis usually present with a persistent headache (rather than a self-limited headache in some patients with primary pulmonary infection), with nausea and vomiting, and sometimes vision change. Some may also develop altered mental status and confusion. Meningismus such as nuchal rigidity, if present, is not severe.Hydrocephalus and cerebral infarction may develop in some cases. Papilledema is more commonly observed in pediatric patients.1, 3, 4, 5, 7When meningitis develops, most patients may not have any respiratory symptoms nor radiographic manifestation of pulmonary infection. However, a large number of these individuals also present with other extrathoracic lesions.7DiagnosisAlthough early diagnosis carries obvious benefits for patients and the health care systems as a whole (e.g., decreases patient anxiety, reduces the cost of expensive and invasive tests, removes the temptation for empirical antibacterial or antiviral treatments, and allows for early detection of complications), considerable diagnostic delays up to several weeks to months are common in both endemic areas and non-endemic areas.3, 7 Most symptomatic persons with coccidioidal infection present with primarily pulmonary symptoms and are often misdiagnosed as community-acquired bacterial pneumonia and treated with antibiotics. In endemic areas like south-central Arizona, previous studies found up to 29% of community-acquired pneumonia is caused by coccidioidomycosis. Healthcare providers thus should maintain a high clinical suspicion for coccidioidomycosis when evaluating persons with pneumonia who live in or have traveled to endemic areas recently. Elevated peripheral-blood eosinophilia of over 5%, hilar or mediastinal adenopathy on chest radiography, marked fatigue, and failure to improve with antibiotic therapy should prompt suspicion and testing for infection with coccidioidomycosis in endemic areas.1, 3, 5Serological testing plays an important role in establishing a diagnosis of coccidioidomycosis. Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) to detect IgM and IgG antibodies is highly sensitive and therefore commonly used as the screening tool. Immunodiffusion is more specific but less sensitive than enzyme immunoassay. It is used to confirm the diagnosis of positive EIA test results. Complement fixing (CF) test, which indirectly detects the presence of coccidioidal antibodies by testing the consumption of serum complement, are expressed as titers. Serial measurements of titers are of not only diagnostic but also prognostic value.1, 2, 3, 5Other methods, including culture, microscopic, or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) exam on tissue or respiratory specimens, are limited by their availability, sample obtaining and handling, or lack of sufficient evaluation.1, 2, 3, 5Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination in coccidioidal meningitis usually demonstrates lymphocyte dominated elevation of leukocytes, although polymorphonuclear leukocyte dominance can also be seen in the early stage of the infection. Profound hypoglycorrhachia and elevated protein levels in CSF examination are also very common in coccidioidal meningitis.1, 7Although isolating Coccidioides from CSF or other CNS specimens are diagnostic for coccidioidal meningitis, in practice, diagnoses are often made based on the combination of clinical presentation, CSF examination that suggesting fungal infection, and positive Coccidioides antibodies found in CSF.7Imaging, especially enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can help in diagnosing coccidioidal meningitis. Basilar leptomeningeal enhancement is a more common finding even though hydrocephalus, cerebral infarction, and vertebral artery aneurysm can also be seen.7TreatmentMost patients with focal primary pulmonary coccidioidomycosis do not require antifungal therapy. According to 2016 Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) Clinical Practice Guideline, antifungal therapy should be considered in patients with concurrent immunosuppression that adversely affect cellular immunity (e.g., organ transplant patients, AIDS in HIV-infected patients, and patients receiving anti–tumor necrosis factor therapy) and those with significantly debilitating illness, extensive pulmonary involvement, with concurrent diabetes, pregnant women, or who are otherwise frail because of age or comorbidities. Some experts would also include African or Filipino ancestry as indications for treatment. Conversely, humoral immunity comprise splenectomy, hypocomplementemia, or neutrophil dysfunction syndromes are not major risk factors for this disease.1, 2, 3, 4, 5Triazole antifungals (fluconazole or itraconazole) are currently considered as the first-line medications used to treat most cases of coccidioidomycosis. Amphotericin B is reserved for only the most severe cases of dissemination and patients with coccidioidal meningitis in whom triazole antifungal therapy has failed. It is also the choice of therapy for coccidioidomycosis in pregnant women during the first trimester because of the possible teratogenic effect of high-dose triazole therapy during this period of time.1, 3, 4, 5Treating coccidioidal meningitis (CM) poses a special challenge because untreated meningitis is nearly always fatal. Lifelong therapy is recommended for CM because the majority 80% patients with CM experience relapse when therapy is stopped despite initial response to antifungal treatment. Shunting of CSF is required in cases of meningitis complicated by hydrocephalus.1, 3, 4, 5, 7Prevention Avoidance of direct contact with contaminated soil in endemic areas (e.g., respirator use by construction workers) may reduce disease risk, although clear evidence of its benefit is lacking.1, 5Some special population groups may benefit from prophylactic use of antifungals, such as those about to undergo allogeneic solid-organ transplantation or patients with a history of active coccidioidomycosis or a positive coccidioidal serology in whom therapy with tumor necrosis factor α antagonists is being initiated. The administration of prophylactic antifungals is not recommended for HIV-1-infected patients even if they live in an endemic region.1, 5Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 164, “More than just a headache.” Dr. Song explained that a headache with an indolent course, accompanied by subacute respiratory symptoms, nausea, vomiting, photophobia, neck stiffness, and skin lesions can be secondary to Valley Fever. The Central Valley of California, as well as other areas with dry climate, are endemic and we need to keep this disease in our differential diagnosis.This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Zheng (David) Song.

MERCK ANIMAL HEALTH Optimizing Vaccine Efficacy In Animal Health:  Best Practices & Considerations Vaccines play a crucial role in safeguarding animal health by bolstering their immune systems against various pathogens. Understanding proper storage, handling, and administration of vaccines is essential to ensure their effectiveness. Key Points: 1. Importance of Vaccines: Vaccines are preventive tools designed to prepare an animal's immune system to combat diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, or protozoa.   2. Proper Handling and Storage: Deviations from label instructions regarding storage, transportation, and handling can compromise vaccine efficacy. Vaccines should be stored in refrigerators maintaining optimal temperatures.   3. Factors Affecting Efficacy: Nutritional deficiencies, environmental stressors, and preexisting health conditions can influence an animal's response to vaccination.   4. Administration Best Practices: Proper reconstitution, mixing, and administration techniques are crucial for vaccine effectiveness.   5. Herd Veterinarian Guidance: Tailoring vaccination programs to specific herd needs and consulting with a veterinarian ensures optimal protection.   6. Vaccine Types and Revaccination: Understanding differences between modified live virus (MLV) and killed virus (KV) vaccines and adhering to recommended revaccination schedules are vital.   7. Calfhood Vaccination Programs: Initiating comprehensive vaccination programs early in a calf's life, especially during pre weaning stages, is essential for disease prevention.   8. Essential Components: Commonly included vaccines protect against respiratory diseases and clostridial infections, but specific vaccine decisions should be made with veterinary consultation.   9. Heifer Vaccination: Vaccination programs for replacement heifers should mirror those for mature cows, with consideration for reproductive diseases.   10. Pre Breeding and Pre Calving Vaccinations: Timing and selection of vaccines are critical to ensure adequate immunity transfer and protection for newborn calves.   11. Bull Vaccination: Bulls should receive similar vaccines as the cow herd, with exceptions such as brucellosis vaccination. Effective vaccine utilization requires adherence to proper storage, handling, and administration practices, along with tailored vaccination programs guided by veterinary expertise. By implementing these strategies, livestock producers can enhance animal health and productivity while mitigating disease risks. ALLFLEX® CleanVax™  Nozzles and Shields for Intranasal Vaccination Merck Animal Health, known as MSD Animal Health outside of the United States and Canada, a division of Merck & Co., Inc., Rahway, N.J., USA (NYSE:MRK), today announced new ALLFLEX® CleanVax™ nozzles and shields for clean, fast and convenient administration of intranasal vaccines to cattle. The CleanVax intranasal vaccination system includes shorter nozzles that are less invasive than conventional cannulas, as well as clear plastic disposable shields that can be replaced between animals or groups of animals for more hygienic administration. “CleanVax nozzles and shields optimize every aspect of the intranasal vaccination process for confidence in a clean, consistent dose every time,” said Jonathon Townsend, D.V.M., Ph.D., dairy technical services for Merck Animal Health. “The system is simple to use and enhances calf comfort, hygiene and consistency, making it easier on both the calf and caregiver.” The following are the advantages of the CleanVax intranasal vaccination system: Calf-friendly, shorter nozzles minimize discomfort; Atomizer tips ensure even distribution across mucosal surfaces and reduce product drip; Easy-to-use nozzles attach to any brand of syringe or Luer lock applicator gun; Hygienic shields add a layer of protection and enhance biosecurity. “CleanVax nozzles and shields are designed to make intranasal vaccine administration more hygienic, calf-friendly and consistent,” Dr. Townsend added. “As a leader in intranasal vaccination technologies, Merck Animal Health continues to advance cattle health and production with innovative and effective solutions for cattle producers.” Intranasal vaccines available from Merck Animal Health include BOVILIS® NASALGEN® 3-PMH, BOVILIS NASALGEN 3, BOVILIS NASALGEN IP, BOVILIS CORONAVIRUS and BOVILIS ONCE PMH® IN.

The designation allows the voluntary “Product of USA” or “Made in the USA” label claim to be used on meat, poultry and egg products only when they come from animals born, raised, slaughtered and processed in the United States. The final rule aims to prohibit misleading U.S. origin labeling in the marketplace and helps ensure that the information that consumers receive about where their food comes from is based on facts. The labels will continue to maintain their voluntary status for use on products and also will be eligible for generic label approval, which removes the need for pre-approval by USDA, but requires manufacturers to maintain documentation to support the claim. Last summer, the country of origin labeling rules (COOL), as they were proposed, covering meat, poultry and egg products, were criticized by the Canadian government and the National Pork Producers Council because they included specific regulations on where the animals were raised, which were not part of earlier versions of the rule. Companies that use the “Made in the USA” claim will need to comply with the final rule by Jan. 1, 2026, but are being encouraged to do so as soon as possible. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association's Executive Director of Government Affairs Kent Bacus released the following statement on the USDA's finalized rule on the "Product of USA" label by saying, “NCBA has been committed to finding solutions to this problem ever since a producer-led NCBA working group raised the alarm, years ago, that imported beef could be mislabeled as a Product of the USA incorrectly at the end of the supply chain. We appreciate USDA's effort to address this loophole. During the implementation period, NCBA's focus will remain on ensuring that these changes result in the opportunity for producer premiums while remaining trade compliant.”   UPCOMING BULL SALES ANGUS CHAROLAIS HEREFORD GELBVIEH BALANCER RED ANGUS SIMMENTAL SIMANGUS Weber Land & Cattle:  March 12, 2024, Lake Benton, Minnesota Sundsbak Farms: March 16, 2024, Des Lacs, North Dakota Hidden Angus: March 17, 2024, Sebeka, Minnesota Wheatland Cattle Company:  March 21, 2024, Bienfait, Saskatchewan, Canada Miller Angus Farms: March 25, 2024, Watertown, South Dakota L 83 Ranch: March 26, 2024, Mandan, ND Vollmer Angus Ranch: April 2, 2024, Wing, North Dakota A & B Cattle:  April 4, 2024, Bassett, Nebraska Montgomery Ranch: April 14, 2024, Carrington, North Dakota Jorgensen Farms:  April 15, 2024, Ideal, South Dakota BULL SALE REPORT & RESULTS Churchill Cattle Company Van Newkirk Herefords Gardiner Angus Ranch Cow Camp Ranch Jungels Shorthorn Farms Ellingson Angus Edgar Brothers Angus Schaff Angus Valley Prairie Hills Gelbvieh Clear Springs Cattle Company CK Cattle Mrnak Hereford Ranch Frey Angus Ranch Hoffmann Angus Farms Topp Herefords River Creek Farms Upstream Ranch Gustin's Diamond D Gelbvieh Schiefelbein Farms Wasem Red Angus Raven Angus Krebs Ranch Yon Family Farms Chestnut Angus Eichacker Simmentals & JK Angus Windy Creek Cattle Company Pedersen Broken Heart Ranch Mar Mac Farms Warner Beef Genetics Arda Farms & Freeway Angus Leland Red Angus & Koester Red Angus Fast - Dohrmann - Strommen RBM Livestock Weber Land & Cattle FEATURING Dr. Tim Parks, D.V.M.

Near-death experience podcast guest 597 is PMH Atwater. During this video we talk about her NDE experience and her research of near death experiences. PHM Atwater is an international authority on near-death states, Dr. PMH Atwater, L.H.D. uses the culmination of her research to establish that the near-death phenomenon is not some kind of anomaly, but is rather part of the larger genre of transformations of consciousness. She combines her 38 years of near-death research with what she was doing in the 60s and 70s, experiencing, experimenting with, and researching altered states of consciousness, mysticism, psychic phenomena, and the transformational process, to reveal what transformations of consciousness really are, why we have them, and where they lead us. This lifetime endeavor covers over 43 years of work, involving nearly 7,000 people. Her meticulous and unique protocol gives validity to what she has discovered, and verified, about the percentage worldwide of people who have undergone near-death experiences.

Episode 115: Erectile Dysfunction Diagnosis.  Discussion about the diagnosis of erectile dysfunction with Andrew, Adriana, and Dr. Arreaza. Causes, labs, and physical exam is briefly discussed. Written by Andrew Kim, MSIV, Western University of Health Sciences, College of Osteopathic Medicine of the Pacific. Comments by Adriana Rodriguez, MS3, Ross University School of Medicine; and Hector Arreaza, MD.September 22, 2022.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.In episode 39 o erectile dysfunction, Dr. Ihejirika gave us an overview, but today we will be more detailed about the diagnosis of ED. Definition.The American Urological Association (AUA) published an erectile dysfunction guideline in May 2018, which is available online at no cost. Based on that guideline, erectile dysfunction can be defined as “the consistent or recurrent inability to attain and/or maintain penile erection sufficient for sexual satisfaction, including satisfactory sexual performance.” Comment: This guideline provides 25 principles for diagnosing and treating ED. Diagnosis.Getting a good history is important when diagnosing erectile dysfunction. The patient should be asked about the onset of symptoms, severity, how much it hinders his sexual performance, whether the patient can get and maintain an erection, psychological factors, social factors, and presence of morning erections. One can use different questionnaires: the five-question International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) or a single-question self-assessment. Single-question self-assessment:Impotence means not being able to get and keep an erection that is rigid enough for satisfactory sexual activity. How would you describe yourself?Not impotent: always able to get and keep an erection good enough for sexual intercourse.Minimally impotent: usually able to get and keep an erection good enough for sexual intercourse.Moderately impotent: sometimes able to get and keep an erection good enough for sexual intercourse.Completely impotent: never able to get and keep an erection good enough for sexual intercourse.Comment: Basically, the single-question self-assessment is a self-diagnosis of erectile dysfunction; the patient is giving you the severity of his condition. This questionnaire seems to be very subjective. International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5):IIEF-5 asks five questions, and the patient answers on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 is the worst, 5 is the best)How do you rate your confidence that you could get and keep an erection?When you had erections with sexual stimulation, how often were your erections hard enough for penetration?During sexual intercourse, how often were you able to maintain your erection after you had penetrated your partner?During sexual intercourse, how difficult was it to maintain your erection to completion of intercourse?When you attempted sexual intercourse, how often was it satisfactory for you?Diagnosis can be made based on the total score. 1 to 7: severe ED, 8 to 11: moderate ED, 12 to 16: mild-moderate ED, 17 to 21: mild ED, and 22 to 25: no ED.This is a self-reported questionnaire, and the score should be interpreted in a clinical context. Answers will likely be biased if, for example, the questionnaire is asked by a female medical assistant. Causes of ED:It is important to assess for medical conditions, psychological conditions, and medications because ED can be caused by vascular, neurological, psychological, and hormonal problems.  Cardiovascular: Some common conditions related to ED are cardiovascular disease (PAD, CAD) and HTN.Endocrine: DM, HLD, obesity, testosterone deficiency (hypogonadism), hyperprolactinemia, thyroid disorder, metabolic syndrome.Neurologic: Neurologic conditions (multiple sclerosis, stroke, spine injury), trauma, and venous leakage.Lifestyle causes: sedentary lifestyle, tobacco use.Psychological: Performance anxiety, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and stress are common psychological causes.Medications and substances: Alcohol, illicit drugs, and nicotine are important causes of ED, but some medications also cause or worsen ED: opiates, diuretics (spironolactone), antifungals (azoles), anticonvulsants, antidepressants (SSRIs), antihistamines, H2 blocker (cimetidine) antihypertensives, nasal decongestants, and antipsychotics. Remember to ask about over-the-counter medications and supplements.Physical exam: Measure blood pressure, BMI, and a complete exam, especially a genital exam. A comprehensive genitourinary exam should include the inspection of the testicles (atrophy, varicocele, signs of hypogonadism). The penis should be inspected and palpated (look for scar tissue and Peyronie's plaques) and assessment of penile stretch/flaccid length (it is done by stretching the penis. An elastic penis is a healthy penis). Dr. Winter's expert opinion: consider a prostate exam in older patients presenting with ED.Labs: Following physical examination, some lab tests can be ordered to further evaluate possible causes of ED. -A1C and glucose levels can be ordered to look for diabetes. -Lipid panel for hyperlipidemia.-TSH should be checked for thyroid function and to rule out hypothyroidism. -Testosterone deficiency can be assessed by measuring morning serum total testosterone level, which is defined as total testosterone < 300 with signs and symptoms. -Prolactin (perform pituitary MRI in any degree of hyperprolactinemia. In patients taking medications that cause hyperprolactinemia, get MRI if prolactin is above 100) Why is it important to diagnose ED?ED can be linked to organic causes.- Glucose: ED is linked to increased fasting serum glucose levels (diabetes). People with PMH of DM are 3 times more likely to develop ED. The longer the patient had diabetes, the stronger association with ED. Fasting glucose levels are associated with the highest risk of ED. The probability of having undiagnosed DM is 1/50 in the age group 40 to 59 without ED but increases to 1/10 for those with ED.- Testosterone and obesity: Low serum testosterone levels can contribute to the link between metabolic syndrome and ED. In men with obesity, the adipose tissue enzyme aromatase is more prevalent and can convert testosterone into estradiol to cause hypogonadism. Furthermore, adipocytes can cause inflammation and recruit inflammatory cytokines, leading to impaired endothelial function and ED. - Cardiovascular disease: ED and CVD have some common risk factors: older age, HTN, dyslipidemia, smoking, obesity, and DM. ED is related to an increased risk of CVD, CAD, and stroke. Usually, it is thought that ED arises two to five years prior to CAD. If a patient develops signs and symptoms of ED before CAD, the patient can be counseled and educated to make lifestyle modifications to prevent CAD.Furthermore, men with ED are more likely to experience angina, MI, stroke, TIA, CHF, and cardiac arrhythmias when compared to their counterparts without ED. A study from 2003 suggested that patients with ED have a 75% increased risk of developing peripheral vascular disease. Studies suggest ED can predict silent CAD, and one study concluded that the incidence of CAD in men below 40 years of age with ED was seven times higher than that of the control population without ED. It is important to diagnose ED because it can be used as a marker for assessing cardiovascular risk.ED can be linked to many causes, and we as clinicians should be able to identify those causes to prescribe a more specific treatment. Not all ED will respond to “the blue pill”. We will talk about treatment in another episode. Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 115, “Erectile Dysfunction Diagnosis.” Male sexual health sometimes can be taboo, and patients may not fully disclose personal issues like erectile dysfunction. Andrew and Adrianna explained that an open discussion about erectile dysfunction can help you diagnose underlying conditions, including cardiovascular disease. Dr. Arreaza reminded us that the diagnosis of erectile dysfunction should prompt a deeper investigation in most cases before you attribute it to psychological factors. This week we thank Hector Arreaza, Andrew Kim, Adriana Rodriguez, and Fiona Axelsson.

Welcome to PICU Doc On Call, A Podcast Dedicated to Current and Aspiring Intensivists. I'm Pradip Kamat coming to you from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta/Emory University School of Medicine. Today we are joined by two wonderful clinical pharmacists — Whitney Moore & Stephanie Yasechko. Whitney is a Clinical Pharmacy Specialist at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta. She is on Twitter at @MoorephinRx. Stephanie is a Pediatric Lung Transplant Clinical Pharmacy Specialist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. We are so excited to have you both on today. My name is Rahul Damania and I am a Pediatric Intensivist at Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital; Welcome to PICU Doc On Call where we focus on all things MED-ED in the PICU. Our podcast focuses on interesting PICU cases & management in the acute care pediatric setting so let's get into our episode: Welcome to our Episode an 18 yo immunocompromised patient with headache & sore throat Here's the case presented by Rahul: An 18-year-old female (40 kg) with PMH significant for fibrolamellar carcinoma of the liver, presents to the ED with headache and sore throat. She is febrile to 38.3, tachycardic, tachypneic, and has a WBC of 27K on her CBC. She is markedly hypotensive with BP on the arrival of 99/65. Cultures were drawn, the patient was given x1 doses of vancomycin and meropenem, and she was transported to the PICU for further workup and management. Due to her progressive hemodynamic instability, increased inflammatory markers, and marked immunocompromised state, the team is considering broadening her anti-microbial coverage. To summarize key elements from this case, this patient has: Fibrolamellar carcinoma of the liver A presentation of headache, sore throat, and hemodynamic instability with concern for sepsis A current regimen of just antibacterials, which brings up the consideration of adding anti-fungal coverage in her clinically ill state. Our episode today will be covering anti-fungal agents in the PICU. We will review general mycology, understand different classes of antifungals, and highlight practical clinical pearls in the acute care setting. As mentioned, this patient has risk factors for an immunocompromised state due to her underlying liver condition. As we dive deeper into antifungals, Whitney, can you please give us an overview of common fungal pathogens in the PICU? Before we discuss the major drugs, it's important that we take some time to briefly review the most common fungi we encounter clinically since it's hard to choose the right agent when you don't know exactly what you are treating. Clinically, Candida is probably the most common fungal pathogen encountered, especially in warm, moist environments. It is important to determine what type of species is growing. The three major species known to cause infection are C. albicans, C. glabrata, and C. krusei, but it is important to differentiate these species when identified since they have different resistance patterns. Cryptococcus is another type of fungus that is known to cause meningitis or fungemia, especially in immunocompromised or cirrhotic patients. Both Candida and Cryptococcus are classified as yeast on Gram stain. Treating cryptococcus will require the use of an agent that has good penetration to the CNS. Endemic fungi known as Coccidia, Histoplasma, and Blastomyces are known to cause disseminated infections in immunocompromised hosts; however, each fungus is associated with a different geographic region in the United States. With any type of infection, it is always very important to consider your patients' exposures and recent travel history. And finally, there are two major molds that have the potential to be pathogenic. The first is Aspergillus which is identified via hyphae (tall filaments) on Gram stain well known to cause invasive pulmonary infections in the immunocompromised, specifically those who are neutropenic and/or received a lung transplant.

Welcome to PICU Doc On Call, A Podcast Dedicated to Current and Aspiring Intensivists. I'm Pradip Kamat and I'm Rahul Damania. We are coming to you from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta - Emory University School of Medicine. Welcome to our Episode about a 14- year- old female who presented with hypotension after a suicide attempt. Here's the case: A 14 yo F with PMH of depression and oppositional defiant disorder presents with dizziness. Her mother states she was in her normal state of health when on the day of admission she noticed the patient to be dizzy, slurring speech, and pale. The mother became very concerned about the dizziness as the patient was stumbling and a few hours prior to presentation, became increasingly sleepy. The patient does have a history of depression and is controlled on sertraline. Other medications in the home include Metformin, Amlodipine, and Clonidine. The patient denies ingesting any substance. She does have a prior attempt two years prior, after an argument with her mother; however, her mother was able to “stop” her prior to the attempt. She presents to the ER via EMS. Her vital signs are notable for HR 50 bpm with occasional PACs and non-conducted QRS complexes on telemetry; BP of 75/40. A physical exam is notable for AMS and GCS of 10. She is noted to have clear breath sounds, with a cardiac exam notable for slowed and delayed pulses. Initial laboratory work is notable for serum glucose 180 mg/dL and B HCG negative. Initial resuscitation is begun with IV fluids and atropine. Serum acetaminophen and ASA levels are sent and upon stabilization, the patient presents to the PICU for admission. To summarize key elements from this case, this patient has: A history of depression with prior attempt An acute bout of altered mental status Bradycardia, hypotension, and hyperglycemia. All of which brings up a concern for an acute ingestion Let's take a step back and talk about the approach to ingestions in the PICU. What are key aspects to consider in the work-up of these patients? History and physical are key: Stratifying acute or chronic ingestions Baseline prescription medications a patient may be taking or have access to in the household Whether the ingestion involves a single drug or co-ingestants are all first steps in evaluating your patient. In an undifferentiated patient, management is paramount. Initial management is focused on pattern recognition and acute stabilization. A brief initial screening examination should be performed on all patients to identify immediate measures required to stabilize and prevent deterioration of the patient. Assess the airway, vital signs, mental status, pupil size, and skin temperature and moisture. These components of your physical exam should help allude to a toxidrome, and these syndromes are frequently tested on board examinations. Any time a patient has hypotension and bradycardia other drugs that should be considered include beta blockers, digoxin, clonidine, as well as ingestion of barbiturates, opioids, and even benzodiazepines. What are some diagnostic studies you will want to send immediately in a patient with suspected ingestion? Immediate diagnostic studies to be performed include pulse oximetry, continuous cardiac monitoring, an electrocardiogram (ECG), and a capillary glucose measurement (in altered patients). Intravenous (IV) access should be obtained in all cases of serious ingestion. You also want to send beta-hcg and acetaminophen and salicylate levels. an extended toxicology screen may be required on a case-by-case basis. One study found detectable serum acetaminophen concentrations in 9.6 percent of all overdose patients; almost one-third of this subset denied ingestion of acetaminophen. Now that you've focused on ABCs are there more detailed laboratory studies to send in patients with toxidromes? Symptomatic patients and those with an unreliable or unknown history should, at a minimum, undergo...

Welcome to PICU Doc On Call, a podcast dedicated to current and aspiring intensivists. My name is Pradip Kamat. My name is Rahul Damania, a current 2nd-year pediatric critical care fellow. We come to you from Children's Healthcare of Atlanta-Emory University School of Medicine. Today's episode is dedicated to pediatric post-cardiac arrest care. We are going to split this topic into two episodes, part one of pediatric post-cardiac arrest syndrome will address the epidemiology, causes, and pathophysiology. I will turn it over to Rahul to start with our patient case... 11 yo previously healthy M who is admitted to the PICU after cardiac arrest. The patient was noted to be found unresponsive and submerged in a neighborhood pool. He was pulled out by bystanders and CPR was started for 5 minutes with two rounds of epinephrine prior to achieving ROSC. During transport to the OSH, the patient developed hypotension requiring a continuous epinephrine infusion. His initial blood gas was notable for a mixed respiratory and metabolic acidosis: 7.0/60/-20 His initial serum lactate was 6.8 mmol/L. He presents to the PICU with a temperature of 36.6, HR 130s, MAPs 50s on Epinephrine infusion at 0.03mcg/kg/min He is mechanically ventilated with notable settings PEEP of 10, FiO2 65%. The patient is taken to head CT which shows diffuse cerebral edema and diffusely diminished grey-white differentiation most pronounced in the basal ganglia. Great Rahul, can you please comment on his physical exam & PMH? Important physical exam findings include an unresponsive intubated patient with a cervical collar and bilateral non-reactive pupils at 4mm. The patient received mechanical ventilation with coarse breath sounds. A heart exam revealed tachycardia with no murmur or gallop. The patient does not respond to stimuli, intermittent jerking movements of arms and legs were observed. There was no evidence of rash or trauma. No past medical history of seizures or any heart disease. No home medications or toxic ingestions are suspected. So now he is transferred to the ICU, what did we do? An arterial line, central venous line, urinary catheter, esophageal temperature probe was placed. The patient was ventilated using a TV of 6cc/kg and a PEEP of 10 (FIO2 ~65%) to keep SPO2 >94%. The patient initially had runs of ventricular tachycardia for which lidocaine was used. Although the initial EKG showed mild QTc prolongation, it subsequently normalized and was considered to be due to his cardiac arrest and resuscitation. An echocardiogram revealed normal biventricular systolic function (on epinephrine) and also showed normal origins of the coronary arteries. Comprehensive Arrhythmia Panel did not identify a specific genetic cause for the patient's sudden cardiac arrest. The patient was placed on continuous EEG, which demonstrated severe diffuse encephalopathy with myoclonic status likely from anoxic brain injury Patient was also started on Levetiracetam and valproic acid. Initial portable CT scan done on day # of admission showed diffuse cerebral edema and diffusely diminished gray-white differentiation (most pronounced in the basal ganglia). MRI was deferred due to patient instability. The case we talked about highlights a patient who had a trigger that then resulted in cardiac arrest is common is one of the common reasons for admission to the PICU at Children's hospitals whether from submersion injury, trauma, ingestion, cardiac arrhythmia, sepsis, etc. Can we start by defining post-cardiac arrest syndrome? Successful resuscitation from cardiac arrest results in a post-cardiac arrest syndrome, which can evolve in the days to weeks after the return of spontaneous circulation. The components of post-cardiac arrest syndrome are brain injury, myocardial dysfunction, systemic ischemia/reperfusion response, and persistent precipitating pathophysiology. Prior to 2008, the AHA pediatric advanced life support (PALS) guidelines...

El ayuntamiento de Londres crea una aplicación de diseño de viviendas prefabricadas Contexto Como en otras grandes ciudades europeas, Londres tiene un grave problema de falta de viviendas. Estiman que necesitan construir entre 50.000 y 65.000 viviendas al año.El ayuntamiento quiere apostar por la prefabricación para acelerar la construcción de viviendas. Londres no podrá aumentar significativamente los indices de construcción de viviendas si se basa únicamente en los métodos tradicionales de construcción. El ayuntamiento está comprometido a apoyar y promover la modernización de la industria de la construcción de Londres a través de la entrega de casas prefabricadas de mayor precisión (PMH). https://www.london.gov.uk/decisions/add2206-precision-manufactured-housing-london Según el ayuntamiento, la falta de estandarización y diseños optimizamos para la prefabricación, son el principal obstaculo para la adopción de esta tecnología.Encargaron el desarrollo de una aplicación que incorporara los estándares de diseño de viviendas de Londres y las reglas de fabricación para que las organizaciones pudieran diseñar rápidamente soluciones de viviendas prefabricadas que estuvieran optimizadas. La aplicación Se llama PRISM, es gratuita y de código abierto. https://www.prism-app.io/Está desarrollada por https://www.brydenwood.co.uk/, una empresa de arquitectura e ingeniería famosa por sus desarrollos propios (tienen un software parecido pero para diseño de colegios).Costó 165.000€, de los cuales el ayuntamiento puso 60.000€ y empresas privadas del sector interesadas 105.000€.Tiene una interfaz web (no hay que instalar nada). Y funciona así:Dibujamos el contorno de un edificio en un mapa, introducimos información como el número deseado de viviendas de diferentes tamaños, la altura de piso a techo, etc. Con esos datos, el software crea un edificio en 3D con con una distribución de viviendas y estancias que cumplen la normativa pero también optimizadas para métodos de prefabricación. Por ejemplo, estandarizando los tamaños de las habitaciones y alineando los tabiques panelizados.Finalmente podemos hacer modificaciones de forma manual. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr2pwU7TlXc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ABA4dDts3g El gobierno vasco saca una licitación para un proyecto piloto en BIM VISESA: sociedad pública dependiente de Gobierno Vasco para la promoción de vivienda de protección pública y de rehabilitación/renovación urbana.98 viviendas sociales en Barakaldo, Bizkaia.Redacción del proyecto y dirección facultativa, utilizando metodología BIM.530.000 € +IVA.Web de la licitación Pliego Análisis del EIR 12 páginas.Se podrá usar cualquier tipo de software siempre que sea compatible con IFC 2x3.Las recomendaciones de hardware son una captura de pantalla de los requisitos de Revit.Los modelos se piden en formato nativo y en IFC 2x3. Los planos en DWG.Se dan recomendaciones muy generales de nomenclaturas de archivos y objetos BIM. Se adjunta una matriz de LODs por fases de obra, pero sólo como ejemplo.Si se establecen los elementos que NO son necesarios modelar (soportes de conductos, cables, armaduras, tornillos, etc).Se da un listado de estándares internacionales como referencia pero no obligatorios.Se define bastante bien el proceso de coordinación de interferencias, incluso estableciendo los grupos de elementos que se deben comprobar. Se habla del CDE y del esquema WIP-Compartido-Publicado-Archivado. El CDE lo paga el proyectista. Conclusión En muchas partes más que un EIR parece una guía de cómo hacer un BEP. Hay muchas cosas que no se definen, sino que se dan ejemplos o propuestas, y algunas afectan directamente a los honorarios.Se dice que el responsable de entregar el as-built es la dirección facultativa, pero también que: "el equipo de obra tendrá capacidades BIM, y será el encargado de mantener un modelo así construido en evolución junto con los avances o cambios en el proyecto".En general es una licitación correcta aunque incompleta (por ejemplo en tema de usos, que los menciona por encima), pero se entiende que al ser una experiencia piloto el espíritu es "pedir en general" para ver hasta dónde llega el BIM. El problema es que los licitadores van a ir con el espíritu de "hago lo mínimo de BIM para cumplir". ¿Quieres que responda a tus preguntas en el podcast?
