Podcasts about risk factors

An L.A. based podcast brought to you by two forensic psychologists who dissect the intersections where true crime, forensic psychology, and entertainment meet. Episode Description: Crazy In Love: Erotomania Dr. Scott & Dr. Shiloh get into the subcategory of Delusional Disorder, Erotomania; to have the delusional or false belief of a secret or known admirer. This disorder is often the trigger for obsessive celebrity stalkers and has been the cause for numerous violent acts. The docs explore the origin, criteria, and research of this rare phenomenon and cover the cases of John Hinkley Jr., Margaret Mary Ray, and the shooter who killed rising star Christina Grimmie.

Join Dr. Martin in today's episode of The Doctor Is In Podcast.  

Welcome to the Choosing Wisely Campaign series! This is the fifth and final episode of our 5-part series exploring the ABIM Foundation's Choosing Wisely Lists. This campaign aims to promote conversations between clinicians and patients to avoid unnecessary medical tests, treatments, and procedures. Our last case-based episode focuses on a school-aged male presenting with new-onset enuresis. After a discussion of the differential diagnosis and evidence-based evaluation strategies, we apply recommendations from multiple AAP Choosing Wisely lists to create a care plan that is safe, resource-conscious, and child-centered. Throughout this episode, we'll highlight how ethical care principles—beneficence, nonmaleficence, autonomy, and justice—guide high-value decision-making and help us avoid unnecessary imaging, laboratory studies, and interventions that add cost without improving outcomes. This familiar case in pediatrics is worthy of a rewind to relisten to a throwback episode that will reinforce your skills and emphasize the clinical diagnosis and management without added diagnostics, referrals, or medications.  This case closes out our series on Choosing Wisely in Pediatrics, but the principles we've explored should continue to inform your practice every day. If you missed earlier episodes, rewind to learn more about the campaign's background and listen to cases on fever and cough, gastroenterology presentations, and more.   Series Learning Objectives: Introduction to the Choosing Wisely Campaign: Understand the origins, historical precedent, and primary goals of the campaign. Case-Based Applications: Explore five common presentations in primary and acute care pediatrics, applying concepts from various Choosing Wisely lists to guide management and resource stewardship. Effective Communication: Learn strategies for engaging in tough conversations with parents and colleagues to create allies and ensure evidence-based practices are followed.

Mike Hoxter, CTO of Lightbeam Health Solutions, is focused on applying AI to population health management by using predictive models to enhance risk stratification for organizations with value-based care contracts. He emphasizes the importance of integrating social determinants of health along with clinical data to create more accurate predictive scores for patient outcomes, such as reducing hospital readmissions. AI enables a model to incorporate diverse data to derive more fine-tuned, actionable predictions. Mike explains, "We're really all for optimization in value-based care plans and care management. That's really our bread and butter, which is a pretty wide net. So we have a lot of large provider organizations in either CMS MSSP, ACO REACH, or a wide range of value-based care contracts with a lot of the commercial players. The Blues, Humana, Cigna, and Aetna all have value-based care plans that they have contracts with providers. So, optimizing for performance in those contracts. Anybody who works within those is our main clientele. We also have payers that are administering value-based care plans and some hospital systems as well." "If you're good at preventative healthcare, you prevent a lot of unnecessary healthcare. And so risk stratification is something that we do a lot of, and we use a lot of the standard models out there. We have Johns Hopkins embedded into our application. We have all of the different HCC models for Medicare Advantage, CDPs for Medicaid, but then also we have a suite of internal machine-learning-based models, which, I think, is funny - we've gotten to a point where there's such a thing as traditional AI, which is what it's called." #LightbeamHealthSolutions #PopulationHealth #ValueBasedCare #VBC #VBCEnablement #AI #SDOH #RemotePatientMonitoring #Providers #Payers #ACO lightbeamhealth.com Download the transcript here

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin focuses on a new perspective in Alzheimer's research, particularly the role of microglial cells. She reveals insights from integrative neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter's presentation at the Integrative Healthcare Symposium, emphasizing the significance of microglial cells in Alzheimer's disease. The discussion highlights the traditional focus on beta amyloid plaques and introduces the importance of shifting from the M1 pro-inflammatory phenotype to the M2 anti-inflammatory phenotype of microglial cells. Dr. Perlmutter advocates for addressing systemic metabolic and inflammatory issues, pointing out factors like poor diet, lack of sleep, and high blood sugar, which are crucial in preventing Alzheimer's. The episode delves into lifestyle interventions such as ketogenic diets, fasting, and nutritional impacts to manage and potentially reverse the detrimental shift in microglial behavior.

Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest common cancer, with more than half of people dying within three months of diagnosis and 80% of people diagnosed at a late stage.In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, part of MIMS Learning's ‘Patient, Presentation, Pathway for Cancer' campaign, Rhiannon speaks to Rachel Richardson, a pancreatic cancer specialist nurse at Pancreatic Cancer UK.During their discussion, they consider the common but often vague symptoms patients may experience, including abdominal/back pain, unexplained weight loss, and new-onset diabetes. Rachel says: ‘Research does highlight that over 90% of pancreatic cancer patients will actually visit their GP with relevant symptoms in the 2 years before they're diagnosed. So really this represents such a crucial window of opportunity for earlier detection.'The discussion also covers key risk factors, the important link between pancreatic cancer and type 3c diabetes, and new diagnostic tools in development – such as breath and blood tests – that could help GPs detect pancreatic cancer earlier.Educational objectivesAfter listening to this podcast, healthcare professionals should be better able to:Recall the common, but often vague symptoms, of pancreatic cancerIdentify key risk factors, including age, family history, smoking, obesity and pancreatic cystsUnderstand the link between type 3c diabetes and pancreatic cancerRecognise the challenges in diagnosis, including late presentation and non-specific symptomsDescribe promising new diagnostic tools in development, such as breath and blood testsYou can access the website version of this podcast, along with a list of key learning points, on MIMS Learning - and make notes for your appraisal.MIMS Learning offers hundreds of hours of CPD for healthcare professionals, along with a handy CPD organiser.Please note: this podcast is presented by medical editors and discusses educational content written or presented by doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals on the MIMS Learning website and at live events.MIMS LearningSubscribe to MIMS LearningPodcast: Professor Willie Hamilton on cancer risk assessment toolsPodcast: Dr Patrick Holmes on identifying type 3c diabetes in primary carePancreatic cancer - red flag symptomsOther resourcesPancreatic Cancer UK.

Closing the Gap: Understanding Gender Disparities in Bladder Cancer Care, hosted by Martha K. Terris, MD, FACS, is a limited series spotlighting unique considerations for bladder cancer diagnosis and treatment among women. Dr Terris is department chair and a professor in the Department of Urology, the Witherington Distinguished Chair in Urology, and co-director of the Cancer Center at the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University. In the final part of this 3-part series, Dr Terris discussed how the early diagnosis of bladder cancer presents a significant challenge, particularly in female patients, who are frequently diagnosed at a later stage of the disease and subsequently respond less favorably to treatment modalities. A crucial component of early detection is the rigorous evaluation of hematuria, she emphasized. Microhematuria is defined strictly by microscopy. Reliance solely on a dipstick test is insufficient; any positive dipstick result necessitates a microscopic examination, she explained. Furthermore, patients currently receiving anticoagulation therapy do not bypass the standard workup, she noted. If hematuria is identified alongside a urinary tract infection or gynecological issue, the urine should be rechecked once the co-existing problem has cleared, she advised. Risk assessment must consider both common and less-recognized factors, particularly in women, according to Terris. Standard risks include exposure to cyclophosphamide or ifosfamide, Lynch syndrome, chronic indwelling Foley catheters, benzene/aromatic amine exposure, and smoking, she added. However, uro-oncologists must actively assess female patients for occupational exposures not traditionally associated with bladder cancer, she said. Patients presenting with microhematuria should be stratified into low-, intermediate-, or high-risk groups, Terris continued. The gold standard evaluation for high-risk patients is a cystoscopy and CT urogram, she reported. The CT urogram involves cross-sectional imaging of the abdomen and pelvis with and without contrast, incorporating delayed images to optimally visualize the renal pelvis and ureters for potential filling defects, she noted. If patients cannot tolerate contrast, an MR urogram is the primary alternative, she stated. If neither CT nor MR urogram can be performed, the default workup is non-contrast CT combined with cystoscopy and retrograde pyelograms, although this requires general anesthesia, she explained. Given that women are often diagnosed with bladder cancer late and face poor outcomes with advanced disease, maintaining a heightened awareness and low threshold for investigation is critical, Terris concluded.

The femoral attachment of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) reported by anatomic studies is posterior and proximal to the lateral femoral epicondyle.   In conclusion, independent ALL reconstruction while performing a percutaneous technique enabled anatomic positioning of the ALL graft in 79% of cases. The femoral malpositioning was correlated with a higher ACL graft rerupture rate but not with a decrease in the functional outcomes.   Click here to read the article.

Send us a textThis episode features Dr. Giulia Lima (Boston Children's Hospital), a CHNC Mentored Fellow, discussing risk factors for morbidity and mortality among preterm infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) using data from over 11,000 NICU admissions. Surprisingly, older gestational age did not predict improved survival once infants survived beyond three days. Major mortality predictors included surgical NEC, bloodstream infection, trisomy 21, airway anomalies, and compromised systemic output lesions. Multiple gestation appeared protective, though reasons remain unclear. Dr. Lima highlights the importance of standardized prenatal steroids, care coordination, and exploring socioeconomic and ethnic disparities to improve outcomes in this uniquely vulnerable CHD population.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Contributor: Meghan Hurley, MD Educational Pearls: 1. Initial Assessment Start with a physical examination: Determine if the bleed is anterior or posterior. Perform a primary survey: assess airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs). Airway compromise = intubation immediately. If the patient is stable, have them blow out any clots, then re-examine the nares. 2. Topical Medications Anesthetics: provide local anesthesia and pain relief. Lidocaine Tetracaine Vasoconstrictors: reduce bleeding. LET (Lidocaine, Epinephrine, Tetracaine) is ideal because it provides anesthesia and vasoconstriction. Cocaine pledgets (less common). Tranexamic acid (TXA). Oxymetazoline (Afrin). Cautery (Chemical): If an anterior bleed is visualized, silver nitrate can be applied for cauterization 3. Technique Tips Use a nasal speculum. Spread up and down rather than side to side to avoid injury to the septum. Place LET-soaked gauze in the nares. Apply a nasal clamp for ~15 minutes to compress the vessels. Note that pledgets may cause upper lip numbness 4. Reassessment After 15 minutes, remove materials and inspect for a source of bleeding. If still bleeding and a source is identified, cauterize the site. Observe for 15 minutes to monitor for recurrence of bleeding. 5. Packing If the above measures fail to control bleeding: Anterior packing: Nasal tampon (Merocel) Convenient for outpatient removal. Balloon device Inflate the anterior balloon for compression. Posterior packing:  More complex, should consult ENT for additional assistance. 6. Disposition & Follow-Up Although rare, toxic shock syndrome is a possible complication of nasal packing. Antibiotic prophylaxis is controversial, but may be considered in high-risk patients. Outpatient follow-up if stable: Tampon: The patient can remove it at home. Balloon: Return to ED for removal. 7. Risk Factors for Epistaxis & Prevention Deviated septum, dry environments, and anticoagulant use Advise on humidifier use, nasal saline, and medication review to minimize future episodes.

This week, Aebhric talks with Jason Jarvis, a former Special Forces medic and current PhD candidate, and discusses Chagas disease, a tropical disease transmitted by the kissing bug. He explains the life cycle of the bug, the transmission of the disease, its clinical presentation, and the challenges in diagnosis and treatment. The conversation emphasises the importance of awareness and preventive measures, especially as Chagas disease is spreading to new regions, including parts of the United States. The discussion concludes with key take-home messages for healthcare providers and the need for ongoing education in tropical medicine.TakeawaysChagas disease is transmitted by the kissing bug, primarily in Central and South America.The life cycle of the kissing bug involves several stages, including the transmission of the parasite through its faeces.Clinical diagnosis is essential, especially in endemic areas where the disease is prevalent.The acute phase of Chagas disease is easier to treat than the chronic phase, which can lead to severe complications.Preventive measures include avoiding exposure to kissing bugs and ensuring blood products are screened for the disease.Chagas disease can also be transmitted through blood transfusions and organ transplants.Healthcare providers should be aware of the symptoms and risk factors associated with Chagas disease.The disease is now spreading to parts of the continental US, raising public health concerns.Ongoing education and awareness of tropical diseases are crucial for healthcare providers.The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the global health implications of diseases like Chagas.

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/advances-in-type-1-diabetes-science-and-tech/ This article is part of “Innovations In: Type 1 Diabetes,” an editorially independent special report that was produced with financial support from Vertex. XX More evidence linking COVID 19 to type 1 diabetes.. but still exactly why is a mystery. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an unexpected increase in the number of cases of type 1 diabetes in Sweden, particularly among children under 5 and young adult men. The infection accelerated the onset of diabetes among children between the ages of 5 and 9. The researchers looked at data from a 17-year period on the incidence of type 1 diabetes among all people under the age of 30 in Sweden. In addition, they compared the risk of developing diabetes among 720,000 individuals with positive COVID-19 tests against a control group of 3.5 million people. The findings are published in the journal Diabetologia. The number of diabetes cases increased by 12% in 2021 and 9% in 2022 compared with previous years. In 2023, the number of cases was back to a normal level. Despite this, the researchers cannot distinguish a clear connection between COVID-19 infection and diabetes, except for children between 5 and 9 years old. They had an increased risk of type 1 diabetes about one month after a COVID-19 infection even though their total risk did not increase. "However, it's clear that the COVID-19 vaccine can be ruled out as a cause of the increase in diabetes cases. The recommendation for the age group where we saw the strongest increase was not to get vaccinated. In addition, other studies on adults have shown that vaccination reduces the risk of developing type 1 diabetes after a COVID infection." https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-10-diabetes-young-people-pandemic.html XX A new gene therapy approach aimed at protecting people with type 1 diabetes from developing diabetic kidney disease—a serious and common complication of the condition, has shown promising results in a University of Bristol study. Findings from this new study, published in Molecular Therapy, demonstrated a 64% reduction in a damage indicator for kidney disease, paving the way for a potential new treatment. The study, explored the potential of delivering a protein called VEGF-C directly into kidney cells. Previous studies have shown VEGFC could protect against kidney disease as it helps keep blood vessels in the kidney filter healthy, repairing early signs of diabetes-related kidney damage. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-10-gene-therapy-kidney-disease-diabetes.html XX The FDA has agreed to consider Afrezza inhaled insulin for children and teens. The company said in August that it submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Afrezza in the pediatric population and it's been assigned a decision deadline date of the end of May, 2026. Afrezza first recieved FDA approval for adults (age 18 and up) in June 2014 https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/fda-accepts-application-mannkind-inhaled-insulin-kids/ Update on inhaled insulin for kids.. in the open-label, randomized, phase 3 INHALE-1 clinical trial Afrezza demonstrated safe and effective replacement for rapid-acting meal insulin in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D and demonstrates comparable glycemic control to injected rapid-acting insulin. The INHALE-1 clinical trial assessed the safety and efficacy of Afrezza among children and adolescents with T1D, including a total of 230 patients aged 4 to 17 years. Researchers used basal injected insulin and randomly assigned inhaled insulin or rapid-acting analogue for meals, evaluating the change in hemoglobin A1c levels at 26 weeks. After completing 26 weeks of randomly assigned treatment with either Afrezza or rapid-acting insulin injections combined with basal insulin, participants continued receiving the inhaled insulin until week 52 for an extension phase to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Afrezza with continued use.1,2 https://www.pharmacytimes.com/view/inhaled-insulin-demonstrates-comparable-safety-lung-function-and-efficacy-to-injectable-insulin-in-type-1-diabetes XX Eli Lilly released the results of two new Phase 3 trials of an experimental GLP-1 pill that the company says could become a “foundational treatment” for type 2 diabetes. The Indianapolis-based drugmaker plans to submit global regulatory applications for orforglipron in the treatment of type 2 diabetes next year. The company said it will seek approval of the drug as an obesity medication by the end of 2025. Lilly is trying to build on the success of its Mounjaro/Zepbound franchise by offering patients a pill instead of an injection. But the company is trailing behind rival Novo Nordisk in developing an oral alternative, and data released so far has raised some skepticism among investors. A study released in August showed that orforglipron could help patients lose an average of about 12% of their body weight. Wall Street had been expecting more; Lilly's injectable drug Zepbound produced weight loss of as much as 21%, and Novo Nordisk has achieved 15% weight loss percentages for both oral and injectable versions of its Wegovy medication.   https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/eli-lillys-orforglipron-bests-farxiga-padding-oral-glp-1-case-pair-phase-3-diabetes-wins   XX XX UF Health Cancer Center researchers have found a surprising culprit behind common health problems such as obesity, diabetes and fatty liver disease: silent genetic glitches in the blood system that occur naturally as people age. The findings, published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, mean that in the future, simple blood tests could be developed to identify people most at risk early on, helping prevent chronic illnesses and cancer through strategies like diet or lifestyle changes. As people age, stem cells in the bone marrow that produce blood cells gradually accumulate mutations in their DNA. Most mutations don't cause any issues, but sometimes blood stem cells with a mutation can start crowding out their peers. Called clonal hematopoiesis, this condition affects about 10% of older people and is associated with an increased risk of blood cancers like leukemia. It's also linked to a higher risk of obesity and diabetes. But the prevailing thinking was that obesity and related conditions promoted blood cell changes, not the other way around. The new study reverses that. The implications could be far-reaching, particularly as obesity has now overtaken smoking as the most significant and preventable risk factor for cancer. The team is studying how the mutations drive disease. Next, they plan to test how drugs like those commonly used to treat diabetes and new popular weight loss drugs might help reverse or prevent diseases caused by blood cell changes. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-10-hidden-blood-mutations-obesity-diabetes.html XX A new ultra rapid insulin continues to move forward. A phase 3 clinical trial of BioChaperone Lispro (liss-pro) conducted in China found it safe and effective compared with Humalog along with a significant reduction of the rise of blood glucose after a test meal.     These results complete and confirm the positive outcomes previously obtained with THDB0206 injection in people with Type 2 Diabetes It combines Adocia's proprietary BioChaperone® technology with insulin lispro, the active ingredient in the standard of care, Humalog® (Eli Lilly).   This innovative formulation acts significantly faster https://pharmatimes.com/news/ultra-rapid-insulin-shows-promise-in-phase-3-trial-for-type-1-diabetes/   Poor blood sugar control in adolescent patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) may be associated with a higher risk of neuropathy in adulthood, according to recent research from the University of Michigan.1 The study included children diagnosed with T1D between 1990-1992 who were recruited into the Cognition and Longitudinal Assessment of Risk Factors over 30 Years cohort study in Australia. Investigators collected HbA1c from medical records, and microvascular complications were assessed through self-reports, clinical screenings, retinal photographs, and urinary albumin-creatinine testing.3   A total of 30 children were recruited from the original cohort with a mean diagnosis age of 2.9 years. After an average of 29.7 years (standard deviation [SD]: 3.9 years), 33% of participants (n = 13) developed neuropathy, 63% (n = 19) developed diabetes-related eye disease, and 10% (n = 3) developed neuropathy.3 Mean HbA1c estimates during adolescence (9% [74.9 mmol/mol]; 95% CI, 8.6-9.3 [70.5-78.1]) were substantially higher than childhood (8.2% [66.1 mmol/mol]; 95% CI, 7.8-8.5 [61.7-69.4]; P

For over two decades, his research has focused on the use of human stem cells for the understanding and treatment of hearing loss. His lab was the first to demonstrate that it was possible to create both auditory hair cells and neurons from stem cells, and his pioneering work is now moving towards clinical trials in humans.

We review the diagnosis, risk stratification, & management of acute pulmonary embolism in the ED. Hosts: Vivian Chiu, MD Brian Gilberti, MD https://media.blubrry.com/coreem/content.blubrry.com/coreem/Acute_Pulmonary_Embolism.mp3 Download Leave a Comment Tags: Pulmonary Show Notes Core Concepts and Initial Approach Definition: Obstruction of pulmonary arteries, usually from a DVT in the proximal lower extremity veins (iliac/femoral), but may be tumor, air, or fat emboli. Incidence & Mortality: 300,000–370,000 cases/year in the USA, with 60,000–100,000 deaths annually. Mantra: “Don't anchor on the obvious. Always risk stratify and resuscitate with precision.” Risk Factors: Broad, including older age, inherited thrombophilias, malignancy, recent surgery/trauma, travel, smoking, hormonal use, and pregnancy. Clinical Presentation and Risk Stratification Presentation: Highly variable, showing up as anything from subtle shortness of breath to collapse. Acute/Subacute: Dyspnea (most common), pleuritic chest pain, cough, hemoptysis, and syncope. Patients are likely tachycardic, tachypneic, hypoxemic on room air, and may have a low-grade fever. Chronic: Can mimic acute symptoms or be totally asymptomatic. Pulmonary Infarction Signs: Pleuritic pain, hemoptysis, and an effusion. High-Risk Red Flags: Signs of hypotension (systolic blood pressure < 90 mmHg for over 15 minutes),
