Guess what? The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices had a unanimous vote in favor of a preferential recommendation of vaccines for the cool adults who are 65 and older—one of these options is adjuvanted influenza vaccines.1 Talk about a milestone in the world of public health! Now the burning question is why on earth did they decide on adjuvant vaccines? Let's unravel this immunization mystery together, shall we?

Several factors impact vaccine effectiveness from year to year. One of them is the phenomenon of strain mismatch which may result from egg adaptation during the egg-based influenza vaccine manufacturing process.1 So what exactly is the process of egg-adaptation?

Host: Sara W. Koblitz Guest: Michael J. Thorpy, MD While most clinicians are aware of a drug being either “approved” or “not approved” by the FDA, many are not familiar with the term “tentative approval.” Leading experts, attorney Sara Koblitz, JD, and Dr. Michael Thorpy, review the FDA approval process, explore how “tentative approval” is currently impacting treatment in the field of sleep medicine, and discuss how “non-drug” issues are related to delayed FDA approval. Review the latest safety and efficacy pivotal trial data associated with once-nightly sodium oxybate and find out if we're truly on the cusp of a new awakening in sleep medicine.

Host: Charles P. Vega, MD Guest: Kareen Y. Espino, MD What is cultural humility, and how can it be incorporated into clinical practice? How does a patient's culture impact their health behaviors, and why does your own culture and your “practice” approach matter? Listen in as 2 leading experts navigate concerns surrounding cultural humility and emphasize the importance of empathy while they review tips for improved communication with Latino patients. There are easy ways to integrate small but meaningful changes into your clinical practice to help bridge communication gaps and enable your patients to live healthier lives.

Host: Charles P. Vega, MD Guest: Alvaro E. Galvis, MD, PhD How does a patient's culture impact their health behaviors? Find clues in a case highlighting how cultural responsiveness leads to open patient-clinician communication that is the cornerstone of good clinical care. Listen in as 2 leading experts address disparities by breaking down barriers and building better communication with Latino patients. Will you evolve your clinical approach by taking the necessary (easy) steps to help overcome medical mistrust?

Host: Charles P. Vega, MD Guest: Alejandra Hurtado National trends highlight the necessity of a diverse workforce that can better meet the needs of underserved Latino communities. Hear about the real impact being made by training programs designed to meet community needs through the eyes of a medical student as she discusses her cultural background and future aspirations to give back to the health of her community. Will you be inspired to offer mentorship opportunities and diversify your staff to provide culturally appropriate care?

Host: Brian P.

To get to the bottom of this dilemma, Dr. Brian McDonough is joined by Kisma Orbovich, the CEO of Illumination Academy, to reveal the secret to true success and how gratitude may just be the lifehack we've been searching for.

Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP Guest: Teresa Gil, PhD Since about 21 million mothers in America experienced sexual abuse in their childhood, there's a good chance that some of these women are our patients. So as their physicians, how can we provide them with the best possible care as they continue to cope with the lifelong effects of sexual abuse? That's what Dr. Brian McDonough explores with Dr. Teresa Gil, author of Women Who Were Sexually Abused as Children: Mothering, Resilience, and Protecting the Next Generation.

Produced in cooperation with:

Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP In a time when humans walked among wild animals, the fight-or-flight response could've been the difference between eating dinner or being dinner. Today, however, the effect of this stress could be much more problematic for our society. In a review of his findings, Dr. Pratha Dutta joins Dr. Brian McDonough to focus on how our body and immune system react to sympathetic activation and what this might mean for some of your patients.

Joining Dr. Brian McDonough is Dr. Paul Gross, founder of the TMS Center of Lehigh Valley, to address the difficulties of properly identifying depression. Throughout the discussion, Dr. Green also exposes the impactful therapy Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), which has been linked to improving other diseases beyond depression.

Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP There is nearly a 20% chance that each of us will suffer a concussion this year. More concerning yet, over 30% of those concussions will lead to a long-term, potentially permanent disability. Many studies have explored how the use of Omega-3 fatty acids may add some measure of resilience within the brain to withstand injury in those at significant risk. Host Dr. Brian McDonough chats with Dr. Michael Lewis, founder of the nonprofit Brain Health Education and Research Institute about how the utilization of Omega-3 fatty acids may facilitate the concussion healing process and relieve symptoms.

Host: Brian P. McDonough, MD, FAAFP According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, 44,193 Americans die by suicide each year. The Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) has been developed as a means of helping users identify whether someone is at risk for suicide, assessing the severity and immediacy of that risk, and gauging the level of support that the person needs. Host Dr. Brian McDonough talks with Dr. Kelly Posner Gerstenhaber, Founder and Director of the Columbia Lighthouse Project who disseminates the C-SSRS worldwide as a tool for suicide prevention.
