One in six teenagers right now has measurable hearing loss, and almost nobody is talking about it. In this conversation with Brandon Sawalich of Starkey Hearing Technologies, we pull back the curtain on what Brandon calls a “quiet pandemic” driven by earbuds, concerts, and a generation blasting sound directly into their cochlea. If you're still pounding music through your earbuds on a daily basis, this episode is your wake-up call.

Allergies have tripled - with hay fever, seasonal allergies, eczema and food intolerances now affecting millions of people. But why are allergy symptoms getting worse, and what does gut health have to do with it? In this episode, Adam Fox, a world-leading allergy Professor at King's College London, explains why allergies may be rising so fast, why many beliefs about allergies are wrong, and what new science reveals about your immune system, skin and gut. Professor Fox explores why some foods are more likely to trigger reactions, and why modern allergy science is increasingly focused on gut health. Adam also discusses why 90% of people told they are allergic to certain things may not actually be allergic, the difference between allergies and intolerances, and why some antihistamines may be doing you more harm than you realise. By the end of this episode, you will have some practical ways to manage hay fever and seasonal allergies, including which antihistamines experts now recommend avoiding, simple ways to reduce pollen exposure at home, and when allergy testing or desensitisation treatment may help. Adam explains how newer treatments are starting to retrain the immune system rather than simply suppress symptoms. If allergies barely existed a few hundred years ago, what changed? And could your gut now be shaping the way your immune system reacts to the world around you?

From surgery to systems to access, medicine is shaped as much by barriers to care as it is by innovation and the latest techniques. In this episode of BackTable OBGYN, Dr. Kimberly Kho, a complex benign gynecologic surgeon, joins host Dr. Amy Park to discuss her work expanding access to women's healthcare, including building a surgical program in Hawaii, studying childcare as a barrier to care, and exploring the diagnosis and management of adenomyosis. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction08:35 - Faculty Development in Hawaii12:26 - Childcare as Access Barrier16:20 - Survey and Trial Findings18:10 - Annie's Place Childcare Center24:23 - Childcare Barrier Example25:43 - Applying Community Solutions 27:04 - What Is Adenomyosis30:22 - Diagnosis Strategies Beyond Hysterectomy34:07 - Risk Factors and Age Myths36:03 - Fertility and Pregnancy Risks38:02 - Medical and Surgical Treatments41:20 - Uterine Sparing Procedures45:59 - Closing Thoughts --- More about this episode Dr. Kho discusses her recent transition to the University of Hawaii, where she is building a complex benign gynecology program to serve patients across the state and broader Pacific region. Her work emphasizes faculty development through mentorship, strengthening research infrastructure for generalists, fostering inter-island collaboration, and implementing surgical coaching. She then reflects on her time at Parkland, where she expanded access to minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, demonstrated by a significant reduction in open hysterectomy rates. She also shares how her team identified unmet childcare needs as a major barrier to care, leading to multiple research initiatives, a clinical trial, and ultimately the creation of a five-year, no-cost, onsite childcare center (Annie's Place) developed through hospital and community partnerships. The episode concludes with an in-depth discussion of adenomyosis, covering its pathophysiology, imaging-based diagnosis, common symptoms, and fertility implications. In the absence of formal guidelines or FDA-approved therapies, Dr. Kho reviews current management strategies, including medical therapy, uterine artery embolization (UAE), and endometrial ablation techniques. --- Resources Childcare needs as a barrier to healthcare among women in a safety-net health systemhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38886715/ Addressing childcare as a barrier to healthcare access through community partnerships in a large public health systemhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36261213/ Adenomyosis Pathophysiology, Diagnostic Advances, and Therapeutic Optionshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41926770/ --- BackTable OBGYN is the go-to podcast for gynecologists, gynecologic surgeons, and other healthcare professionals focused on women's health.Download the free BackTable app to get early access to new episodes, cases, and courses curated by physicians in your specialty.► https://www.backtable.com/app

We've all seen it: the acute ACL patient who drags their leg into the clinic, unable to squeeze their quad to save their life. We call it Arthrogenic Muscle Inhibition (AMI), and for years, we've treated it as a stubborn, long-term enemy. But a fascinating new study from the American Journal of Sports Medicine suggests we might be overcomplicating it.Researchers analyzed 300 acute ACL patients and found that while AMI is incredibly common (affecting over half of patients), it's also surprisingly fragile. In fact, they found that nearly 80% of cases could be fully reversed in a single session with simple exercises. In this episode, we dive into the 'Red Flags' that predict quad shutdown—including one common sleeping habit you need to ban immediately—and how to flip the switch back on for your patients.To see full show notes and more, head to: https://mikereinold.com/risk-factors-of-arthrogenic-muscle-inhibition----------ACL Rehab MasterclassMy new course on the complete guide to criteria-based ACL rehab testing in return to sport is almost here.

You'll often see in textbooks that alcohol is a major risk factor for oral cancer. They'll tell you that people who drink three to four drinks per day have about two to three times the risk, and with heavier drinking, that risk can go up to five times. They'll also emphasize that when alcohol is combined with tobacco, the risk can increase up to 15 to 30 times. But here's the thing—most of the time, they stop there. They tell you that it increases risk… but not really why. So let's break that down, because once you understand the mechanism, it becomes much easier to remember—and much more meaningful in practice. #1 dental hygiene boards review:

In this episode recorded at the 2026 American Psychosocial Oncology Society (APOS) annual meeting, Daniel C. McFarland, DO, sat down with Kelly Irwin, MD, to address one of the most challenging topics in oncology: suicide risk. The conversation aimed to equip oncologists with the tools and confidence to navigate the emotional complexities of cancer care.Key Discussion Points: Understanding the Risk: Patients with cancer experience more than double the risk of completed suicide compared with the general population. The risk is highest during the first month following a diagnosis—a 12-fold increase in some studies—and remains elevated for the first year. Identifying High-Risk Factors: Beyond a prior suicide attempt (the No.1 risk factor), specific contributors include advanced-stage disease, financial distress, and cancers that impact core identity or physical function, such as head and neck or pancreatic cancers. The Power of Asking: Both experts emphasized that a clinician asking about suicide does not increase the risk. Irwin advises clinicians to trust their instincts and use a continuum of questioning, starting with general feelings of hopelessness and moving toward specific plans and access to "means" (such as firearms or medication). The "Don't Worry Alone" Rule: Irwin urged clinicians never to handle these concerns in isolation. She recommended involving social workers, nurses, and family members, noting that in life-threatening situations, clinician-patient confidentiality (HIPAA) can be "broken" to ensure safety. Relieving Suffering and Building Connection: The primary goal is to make the "unbearable bearable". Irwin highlighted that even small, non-transactional gestures—like a "thinking of you" message—can significantly decrease suicide risk by reinforcing a patient's sense of belonging and mattering.

Episode 217: Testicular Cancer Dr. Arreaza: Welcome to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast. Today we are discussing testicular cancer, a topic that may not appear frequently in primary care but is extremely important to recognize early. We are joined by Brandon Noorvash and Dr. Ebenezer Dadzie. Please introduce yourselves. Brandon: Thank you, Dr. Arreaza. My name is Brandon Noorvash. I am a third-year medical student at Western University of Health Sciences with a strong interest in urology. Ebenezer: Thank you for having us. My name is Dr. Ebenezer Dadzie, and I am a PGY-1 resident in the Clinica Sierra Vista Family Medicine Residency Program. Dr. Arreaza: Testicular cancer represents about 1-2% of cancers in men, but it is the most common cancer in men between the ages of 15 and 40. The good news is that it is also one of the most curable cancers in medicine, especially when detected early. Let's start with a quick question for our listeners. If a 25-year-old man presents with a painless lump in his testicle, what diagnosis should immediately come to your mind? Ebenezer: Testicular cancer should always be high on the differential. While benign conditions can cause scrotal swelling, a painless testicular mass should be considered cancer until proven otherwise. Dr. Arreaza: I agree. Especially if we perform a physical exam and find that the mass is attached to the testicle. Why is this such an important diagnosis for primary care physicians to recognize, what do you think, Brandon? Brandon: Testicular cancer typically affects young, otherwise healthy men, and early detection dramatically improves outcomes. Patients may delay seeking care because the lump is painless or because they feel embarrassed discussing symptoms. However, when diagnosed early, the 5-year survival rate exceeds 95%, and in localized disease it approaches 99%. Dr. Arreaza: Exactly, the survival is incredible and it gets even better with early detection. How common is testicular cancer? Ebenezer: In the United States, approximately 10,000 new cases are diagnosed each year, with around 500 deaths annually. The relatively low mortality reflects how effective current treatments are, especially chemotherapy for germ cell tumors. Dr. Arreaza: Let's talk about risk factors. What should clinicians know about risk factors for testicular cancer? Who is at risk? Brandon: The most important risk factor is cryptorchidism, or undescended testicle. Men with a history of cryptorchidism have about a 4-to-8-fold increased risk of developing testicular cancer. Ebenezer: Other risk factors include family history, personal history of testicular cancer, infertility, testicular atrophy, and certain genetic conditions such as Klinefelter syndrome. However, many patients who develop testicular cancer have no clear risk factors. Dr. Arreaza: Brandon, you recently saw a patient with testicular cancer during your rotation. Can you briefly tell us about that case? Protected health information is not being revealed, so patient confidentiality is being respected during this discussion. Dr. Arreaza: I think we all were pleasantly surprised to know that lung metastasis did not place the patient in a higher risk category. On the other hand, nonpulmonary visceral metastases (such as liver, bone, or brain) define poor-risk disease in nonseminoma and intermediate-risk disease in seminoma. Dr. Arreaza: And of course, if the patient presents with sudden severe pain, we should always think about testicular torsion, which is a surgical emergency. What should clinicians focus on during the physical exam? Ebenezer: Testicular tumors typically feel firm, irregular, non-tender, and located within the testicle itself. Brandon: A helpful exam pearl is transillumination. Fluid-filled structures like hydroceles will transilluminate, whereas solid tumors do not. Dr. Arreaza: I have to admit I've never done a transillumination in a scrotum before. Brandon/Ebenezer: I've done it. I had to clean my pen light afterwards. Arreaza: Once you suspect testicular cancer, what is the next step in evaluation? Ebenezer: The first diagnostic test is a scrotal ultrasound. Ultrasound is highly sensitive and can determine whether the mass is intratesticular, which is highly suspicious for malignancy. Dr. Arreaza: US and tumor markers. Let's talk a bit more about tumor markers. Why are they useful in testicular cancer? Brandon: Tumor markers help with diagnosis, staging, and monitoring response to treatment. Ebenezer: Alpha-fetoprotein, or AFP, is typically elevated in non-seminomatous germ cell tumors, particularly yolk sac tumors. An important point is that pure seminomas do not produce AFP. Brandon: Beta-hCG can be elevated in both seminomas and non-seminomatous tumors, although the levels are often higher in the non-seminomatous types. Ebenezer: LDH is less specific but can reflect tumor burden and disease activity, so it's useful for monitoring progression or response to treatment. Dr. Arreaza: So, tumor markers are not only diagnostic tools, but they also help guide staging and follow-up care. That's an important board question. Why don't we perform a biopsy in a testicular mass? Ebenezer: Testicular masses suspicious of cancer are not biopsied because biopsy can disrupt lymphatic drainage and potentially spread tumor cells. Instead, the standard treatment is radical inguinal orchiectomy, which both removes the tumor and establishes the diagnosis. Dr. Arreaza: Brandon, can you briefly explain the two main categories of testicular cancer? Brandon: Let's start with the germ cell tumors. They are broadly divided into seminomas and non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT). Seminomas tend to grow more slowly and are highly sensitive to radiation therapy. Ebenezer: Non-seminomatous tumors include embryonal carcinoma, yolk sac tumor, choriocarcinoma, and teratoma. These tumors tend to be more aggressive but are still highly responsive to treatment. Dr. Arreaza: How are patients staged once the diagnosis is made? Ebenezer: Staging typically includes a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis to evaluate for metastasis, especially to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes, which are the most common site of spread. Dr. Arreaza: And how is testicular cancer managed? Brandon: The initial step is almost always radical inguinal orchiectomy. Depending on staging and tumor type, treatment may include active surveillance, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. Ebenezer: One reason outcomes are so favorable is that germ cell tumors respond extremely well to cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Dr. Arreaza: Let's talk about prognosis. Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

As women, we're told our bodies are wrong almost from the moment we become aware of them—and that messaging hits hyperdrive when the body composition changes of menopause arrive. Those changes are often framed as urgent health risks, even when the picture is far more nuanced and the steps taken to “fix” them can carry risks of their own. This week we sit down with dietitian and public health nutrition specialist Diana Reid to dig into what actually drives midlife weight gain, what belly fat and BMI do (and don't) mean for your health, and where GLP-1 medications fit into the picture. We talk muscle and bone loss, under-fueling, weight regain, and how to protect your health if you choose to use weight loss medications.Diana Reid is a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist licensed in both the United States and Luxembourg. She's originally from Seattle, but has been living in Europe since 2016. Diana has a masters degree in Public Health & Nutrition and specializes in nutritional counseling and support for patients with eating disorders; food allergies, intolerances and gut disorders; and the unique challenges related to women's health, especially during midlife and the menopause transition. She is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and follows a non-diet, weight-neutral approach to health and wellness, focusing on habit building, lifestyle behaviors and balanced nutrition. She believes in practicing with compassion, understanding, and a personalized approach to nutrition and well-being. Diana is a married midlife menopausal mom of three teens and a clingy dog, and loves cycling, weight lifting, hiking and traveling.

INVESTING INVOLVES RISK, INCLUDING POTENTIAL LOSS OF CAPITAL. SYLD: There is no guarantee that a Fund will achieve its investment goal. Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. High yielding stocks are often speculative, high-risk investments. The underlying holdings of the Funds may be leveraged, which will expose the holding to higher volatility and may accelerate the impact of any losses. These companies can be paying out more than they can support and may reduce their dividends or stop paying dividends at any time, which could have a material adverse effect on the stock price of these companies and the Fund's performance. International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in other nations. Emerging markets involve heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased volatility and lower trading volume. Investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility.
