In this different, BONUS episode of Problematic Fave, we bring you into the world of press conferences! Dino-Ray Ramos moderated a press conference for the forthcoming comedy Joy Ride directed by Adele Lim and written by Cherry Chevapravatdumrong & Teresa Hsiao. They were joined at the official press conference by the movie's stars Ashley Park, Sherry Cola, Stephanie Hsu, Sabrina Wu as well as the "sexy boys" Chris Pang, Rohain Arora, and Alexander Hodge. This doesn't follow the regular Problematic Fave pod format as it is a press conference, obvi -- and it is a good ass time. The filmmakers and the cast have an unfiltered and also heartfelt conversation about the movie which explores self-discovery, friends and family -- and there's a lot of talk about chlamydia. Also, at one point, I think Sherry Cola says that Confucius was a top.

There are a lot of problematic films and TV series in Hollywood, but what about the industry itself? In this week's episode Dino-Ray Ramos chats Maureen Ryan, journalist, critic and author of the book "Burn It Down: Power, Complicity, and a Call for Change in Hollywood" which unpacks the toxicity of Hollywood. If you thought there were problematic people and systems in place in the film and TV industry, than this book will prove you right and then some. Even though she unpacks a lot of the bad in Hollywood, she also gives hope with roads to making the industry less problematic -- it may take a while, but we gotta start somewhere. Nonetheless, we really get into the bad and the worse of it all and talk about our own experiences when it comes to working in an industry that we love, but clearly has a lot of problems that we hope to fix. === Problematic Fave is presented by DIASPORA and is created, hosted and produced by Dino-Ray Ramos. The series is also produced by Sanjay Sharma of Marginal MediaWorks and edited by Brian Aguilar.

Flower Drum Song was a benchmark in the the Golden Age of Hollywood grandeur and musical beauty -- and it was very racist by 2023 standards. We unpacked this Ro with stand-up comedian, actress, activist, and blazer of all trails Margaret Cho (Fire Island, Good Trouble, Hacks, Flight Attendant). Cho and Dino-Ray Ramos talk at length about the Rodgers and Hammerstein movie 1961 musical based on the 1958 Broadway musical on -- which was based on 1957 novel of the same name by the Chinese American author Chin Yang Lee. The Oscar-nominated film gave us memorable performances including "I Enjoy Being A Girl" by the legend Nancy Kwan -- but also a lot of blatant, heavy handed, gong-banging Orientalism. The Asian representation in this film is remarkable and a watershed moment for the Asian American diaspora in 1961 Hollywood as it was a majority Asian cast... it also has a scene where an Asian woman's teeth is inspected to make sure she would make a good wife. Cho admits that this is one of her favorite movies but also realizes its many problems. In this episode, we examine the Flower Drum Song and how it may be one of the most critical moments in cinematic history with problems that the Asian American diaspora are still facing in the 21st century. === Problematic Fave is presented by DIASPORA and is created, hosted and produced by Dino-Ray Ramos. The series is also produced by Sanjay Sharma of Marginal MediaWorks and edited by Brian Aguilar.

It's Pride! And what better way to dive into it than revisiting culturally relevant, trailblazing -- and traumatic -- movies about the LGBTQ+ community. This week we welcome artist, urban planner, activist, and host of the Fruta Fresca podcast, Jose Richard Aviles to talk about the film Boys Don't Cry directed by Kimberly Peirce and starring Hilary Swank, who won an Oscar for her portrayal of the real-life trans man Brandon Teena and his murder in Nebraska in 1993. They had lots to say about this very poignant -- but very problematic film for 2023. Released in 1999, Boys Don't Cry was a watershed moment for queer representation -- but we know that it hasn't aged well. Aviles and Dino-Ray Ramos navigate through this film with critical thinking, but most of all, with empathy. It's a tragic story and to see that translated on screen brings about a lot of risks in representation and makes space for toxicity and violence. Watching Boys Don't Cry in 2023 is like walking through a landmine of harmful and hard to watch portrayal of trans people as well as much-needed queer representation we have never seen in 1999. DISCLAIMER: Some topics we discuss may be triggering and difficult to hear. === Problematic Fave is presented by DIASPORA and is created, hosted and produced by Dino-Ray Ramos. The series is also produced by Sanjay Sharma of Marginal MediaWorks and edited by Brian Aguilar.

To kick off Pride Month we have a treat for you: a BONUS LIVE EPISODE of Problematic Fave! In this special episode, we travel to SeriesFest in Denver, Colorado where Problematic Fave host Dino-Ray Ramos moderated a special RuPaul's Drag Race conversation with local Denver drag queens Geo Conjure, Sexy Sadie, and Electra Dupri as well as Keith Garcia, artistic director of the Sie FilmCenter at Denver Film -- who is also a "drag mentor" of sorts, having worked with Drag Race winners Yvie Oddly (season 11) and Willow Pill (season 14). We don't follow the usual format of Problematic Fave. Instead, after the queens performed (it was an incredible a show!), we watched a preview of RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars season 8. We then chatted about the impact of Drag Race on the queens' lives and we addressed the current landscape of anti-drag, anti-trans, and anti-queer legislation that is spreading across the country. They also told us a little bit about the amazing drag talent in the Denver and what makes the local scene so sickening. === Problematic Fave is presented by DIASPORA and is created, hosted and produced by Dino-Ray Ramos. The series is also produced by Sanjay Sharma of Marginal MediaWorks and edited by Brian Aguilar.

To many, Revenge of the Nerds is an innocent cult classic underdog story from 1984 -- but it is kind of trash. Actually it's a lot of trash and we unpacked a lot of that garbage with film critic and podcast co-host of Unspooled Amy Nicholson! It's amazing how this movie contained sooooo many problematic moments including a specific moment that is wildly offensive and would totally not fly today. We talk to Nicholson about THAT scene and how this movie constantly makes bad choices. We dive deep into this one so get your pocket protectors ready because it's going to be one problematic ride! === Problematic Fave is presented by DIASPORA and is created, hosted and produced by Dino-Ray Ramos. The series is also produced by Sanjay Sharma of Marginal MediaWorks and edited by Brian Aguilar.

I said BRRRR! It's cold in here! There must be a Problematic Fave in the atmosphere! We kick off season 2 of Problematic Fave with a live episode that was recorded at SXSW in March.

You may recognize her from the series Twenties as well as the cannibalistic thriller Fresh. She also stars alongside Megan Stalter in the Hannah Pearl Utt-directed rom-com Cora Bora which made its premiere at SXSW.

Doctors have been trained in pretty much the same way for many decades. Prior to any hands-on practical training, medical students spend about 2 years going through a series of lectures delivered by other doctors. In fact, this is the general model for how most professionals, and even undergraduate students, are trained – via in-person traditional sorts of lectures with a professor standing at the front of a large lecture hall, disseminating the information that is to be learned. But is this the best approach for learning, both in the context of medical school, and educational programs at large? Dr. Sanjay Sharma joins the podcast.

Dr Carolyn Lam:                Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. I'm Dr Carolyn Lam, associate editor from the National Heart Center and Duke National University of Singapore. This week's journal features two papers that deal with genetic testing in young athletes and for sudden arrhythmic death, and with findings that may surprise you. They really show the complexities of this era of genetic testing and cardiovascular medicine, and in fact are discussed as growing pains in cardiovascular genetics. You must listen to our feature discussion, which is coming right up after these summaries.                                                 The first original paper this week suggests that targeting fibronectin polymerization may be a new therapeutic strategy for treating cardiac fibrosis. Fibronectin polymerization is necessary for collagen matrix deposition and is a key contributor to increased abundance of cardiac myofibroblast following cardiac injury. In today's paper, first author Dr Valiente-Alandi, corresponding author Dr Blaxall from University of Cincinnati College of Medicine and Heart Institute, and their colleagues hypothesized that interfering with fibronectin polymerization, or its genetic ablation and fibroblasts, would attenuate myocardial fibrosis and improve cardiac function following ischemia reperfusion injury. Using mouse and human cardiac myofibroblasts, authors found that the fibronectin polymerization inhibitor pUR4 attenuated the pathological phenotype exhibited by mouse and human myofibroblasts by decreasing fibronectin polymerization and collagen deposition into the extracellular matrix as well as by myofibroblast proliferation and migration.                                                 Inhibiting fibronectin matrix deposition by pUR4 treatment or by deleting fibronectin gene expression in cardiac fibroblasts confirmed cardioprotection against ischemia reperfusion-induced injury by attenuating at first left ventricular remodeling and cardiac fibrosis, thus preserving cardiac function. In summary, interfering with fibronectin polymerization may be a new therapeutic strategy for treating cardiac fibrosis and heart failure.                                                 The Insulin Resistance Intervention after Stroke, or IRIS trial, demonstrated that pioglitazone reduced the risk of both cardiovascular events and diabetes in insulin-resistant patients. However, concern remains that pioglitazone may increase the risk of heart failure in susceptible individuals. To address this, Dr Young from Yale Cardiovascular Research Center and the IRIS investigators performed a secondary analysis of the IRIS trial. They found that older age, atrial fibrillation, hypertension, obesity, edema, high CRP, and smoking were risk factors for heart failure.                                                 Pioglitazone did not increase the risk of incident heart failure, and the effect of pioglitazone did not differ across levels of baseline risk. It should however be noted that in the IRIS trial, the study drug dose could be reduced for symptoms of edema or excessive weight gain, which occurred more often in the pioglitazone arm. Overall, pioglitazone reduced the composite outcome of stroke, MI, or hospitalized heart failure in the IRIS trial.                                                 The next study highlights the importance of genetic variation in cardiac fibrosis and suggests that while fibroblast activation is a response that parallels the extent of scar formation, proliferation may not necessarily correlate with levels of fibrosis. In this paper from co-first authors Dr Park and Ranjbarvaziri, corresponding author Dr Ardehali, from David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles, the authors utilized a novel multiple-strain approach known as the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel to characterize the contributions of cardiac fibroblasts to the formation of isoproterenol-induced cardiac fibrosis in three strains of mice.                                                 They found that isolated cardiac fibroblasts treated with isoproterenol exhibited strain-specific increases in the levels of activation, but showed comparable levels of proliferation. Similar results were found in vivo with fibroblast activation but not proliferation correlating with the differential levels of cardiac fibrosis after isoproterenol treatment. RNA sequencing revealed that cardiac fibroblasts from each strain exhibited unique gene expression changes in response to isoproterenol.                                                 The authors further identified LTBP2 as a commonly upregulated gene after isoproterenol treatment. Expression of LTBP2 was elevated and specifically localized in the fibrotic regions of the myocardium after injury in mice and in human heart failure, suggesting that it may be a potential therapeutic target. That brings us to the end of our summaries. Now for our feature discussion.                                                 We all know that t-wave inversion is common in patients with cardiomyopathy, however up to a quarter of athletes of African descent, and five percent of white athletes also have t-wave inversion on ECG, but with unclear clinical significance despite comprehensive clinical evaluation. Now, what is the role in diagnostic use of genetic testing beyond clinical evaluation when we investigate these athletes with t-wave inversion? Well we're about to get some answers in today's feature paper, and I'm so pleased to have the corresponding author of the paper, Dr Sanjay Sharma from St. George's University of London, as well as our associate editor Dr Mark Link from UT Southwestern.                                                 Sanjay, please let us know what you did and what you found. Dr Sanjay Sharma:            Well as you rightly say, that up to 25% of black athletes have t-wave inversion, as do three to five percent of white athletes. And these t-wave inversions often overlap with the sort of patterns that you see in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. For example, 80% of people with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have t-wave inversion as do 60% of patients with ARVC. Now we know that some ECG patterns, t-wave inversions in V1 to V4 are benign in black patients, but the significance of other ECG patterns is unknown. Cascade screening in family members with cardiomyopathy have shown that t-wave inversion may be the only manifestation of gene inheritance, and there are reports to suggest that some athletes with t-wave inversion do go on to develop overt cardiomyopathy. Now when we investigate the vast majority of our patients with t-wave inversion, these are our athlete patients, we don't actually find anything. But over the past decade, also, these has been major advance in next generation sequencing that allows us to perform genetic testing in a large number of genes that can cause diseases, capable of causing sudden death.                                                 And so, we thought we'd investigate the role of this gene testing in athletes with t-wave inversion. We looked at a hundred, 50 black athletes and 50 white athletes who had t-wave inversion, and we investigated them comprehensively with clinical tests. But we also added in a gene panel looking at 311 genes implicated in six cardiac diseases, notably hypertrophic cardiac myopathy, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, left ventricular non-compaction, long QT syndrome, and the brugada syndrome. We found that 21% of our athletes were then diagnosed with a cardiac disorder capable of causing sudden death, and the vast majority of these people had hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. And this diagnosis was based on clinical evaluation. When we looked at gene testing, we found that gene testing only picked up a problem in 10%. So, the diagnostic yield of gene testing was half that of comprehensive clinical investigation.                                                 When we actually looked at athletes who had nothing wrong with them in clinical investigation, and actually had a gene mutation, we found that only 2.5% of athletes who had t-wave inversion but clinically normal tests, actually had something wrong with them. And our conclusions were that gene testing picks up only half the athletes that clinical testing does, and gene testing is only responsible for identifying 2.5% of athletes with t-wave inversion, where clinical tests are negative. That was the summary of our study in short. We did find that black athletes were less likely to have a positive diagnosis of cardiac myopathy than white athletes, and black athletes are also less likely to have a genetic mutation capable of causing a cardiomyopathy than white athletes. Dr Carolyn Lam:                First and foremost, congratulations on such a beautiful paper, and so wonderfully summarized as well. It really seems to fly in the face, doesn't it? Of the way we've been discussing personalized medicine and saying that we're going to start whole genome sequencing everyone and that's going to provide all the answers for future disease risks. I mean, if I'm not wrong, what your paper is trying to tell us is that at this moment we don't have good examples where genetic testing may trump clinical diagnoses, and in fact we should be still focusing on a comprehensive clinical evaluation of patients and in the absence of a genotype we should learn to question what we're doing in genetic testing. Do you agree with that? Dr Sanjay Sharma:            You couldn't have said that more precisely. As I've said, the diagnostic yield of clinical testing was 21% versus only 10% with genetic testing. The diagnostic yield of pure genetic testing in people with otherwise completely normal findings clinically was only 2.5%. And the other thing that I forgot to tell you was that genetic testing, if we included genetic testing in addition to comprehensive assessment, cost us three times as much as clinical investigation on its own, and had we relied solely on genetics, and nothing else, it would have cost us ten times more than clinical testing. So our cost per making a diagnosis using genetics only would have amounted to $30,000 per condition. Dr Carolyn Lam:                Wow, what a great wake up call. Mark, you've thought a lot about this and in fact there was another paper in this week’s journal that has very complimentary messages. In fact you invited an editorial by Dan Roden, and I really loved his title of it, "Growing Pains in Cardiovascular Genetics." Would you maybe add your thoughts in relation to the other paper, as well as overall? Dr Mark Link:                     Sure. Circulation was very interested in these papers. These are really  ... Now, as Dan Roden says, "Growing pains." Twenty years ago when genetics came out it was looked upon as it was going to completely change our clinical medicine and precision medicine is really relying a lot on genetics. And while ultimately that may be the case, we are in a stage now where the honeymoon is over. And the other paper that was in this same issue was a paper by Hosseini  and colleagues, and it was the Clin Gen paper looking at the Brugada Syndrome abnormalities. Now the Clin Gen is an NIH sponsored group that takes individuals from a number of different institutions and actually gene testing, and tries to provide an independent assessment of the abnormality of genes. Previously is was companies that did this. A company would gene test ... They would look for gene abnormalities, try to link it with clinical disease, and they could basically then do just on their patients. But Clin Gen now is trying to tie all those companies together to get a broad consortion and to look at genetic abnormalities and whether they're truly pathologic, where there's areas of unknown significance, or whether they're truly not pathologic.                                                 So as an example, they took Brugada Syndrome, and they took the different gene abnormalities that have been described from basically different companies and different labs and different institutions, and they looked at the evidence behind the fact that they were truly pathologic, 'cause all 21 genes were defined as pathologic. They found in their independent assessment that only one ended up to be truly pathologic, and the others ones were disputed. And sort of another wakeup call that just because a single company calls a gene pathologic or Brugada Syndrome, does not make it pathologic necessarily. So we all thought these were two very important papers that looked at some of the limitations of genetic testing. We asked Dan Roden, who is really a very accomplished scholar in this field, to provide perspective on this. And I agree, I loved his title, "Growing Pains in Cardiovascular Genetics." And what he did is reviewed the history of genetic testing, and he actually starts before genetic testing and starts with Mendelian genetics, and [inaudible] genetics. And then 23 years ago they started linking that Mendelian genetics to gene abnormalities, especially in diseases such as long QT syndrome and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.                                                 We've come a tremendous way in diagnosing gene abnormalities and associating them with these underlying cardiac myopathies and hind channel abnormalities. So no one doubts we've come a tremendous way, but there's a long way to go in terms of getting better diagnostic accuracy and really defining where these genetic testing are ultimately going to play out in clinical medicine. So everyone's excited about it, but I think these two papers are two cautionary tales that we do have to remember that genetic testing in 2018 is not the end all and be all. Dr Carolyn Lam:                I love that, cautionary tales. So important. But where do we go from here? What's the take home message for clinicians listening to this today in 2018? I mean is it that perhaps when we do these things we now need to include medical geneticists and genetic counselors as vital partners as we look at this all? Perhaps we need to not forget the primacy of clinical evaluation. What do you think, Sanjay? Dr Sanjay Shar:                  Well, there are guidelines from the American Medical Genetics side as to what one defines as a disease-causing mutation. But I agree that we need to be using certified laboratories that can actually interpret the genetic mutations. For example, in our study of athletes, 63% actually had variance of undetermined significance. So they had spinning mistakes in their genes which probably didn't account to anything at all, but had these mutations, or these so called variance of undetermined mutations been interpreted by someone who didn't really know much about this, these could have resulted in false positive results which could cause absolute chaos for an athletes career. So I do think this type of testing has to be governed very, very carefully and needs to be performed in very specialized and certified laboratories. Dr Carolyn Lam:                Indeed. Not just to the athlete, but to their families too, isn't it? Mark, what do you think is the take home message [inaudible 00:16:18]? Dr Mark Link:                     I think one of the big take home messages that I took away from these papers is that clinical medicine is not dead. In fact, clinical medicine in this day and age is still the prime way of taking care of patients. Genetic testing is still in its infancy. It doesn't help clinically in too many situations yet. It will in the future. It helps in the diagnosis, it's not as useful in the treatment. So we have a long ways to go with genetics. I like your comment that going forward we're going to need more genetic counselors to make sense of these results. Clinicians are going to have a hard time making sense of these results. I do think that there is plenty of role once a disease causing mutation has been defined, and in that situation it's invaluable in cascade screening in identifying other family members who may be affected, but outside that I do believe and I agree completely with both of you, that clinical medicine is not dead. And clinical evaluation should be number one and should enjoy it's prime time because that's where we still are at. And genetics is still in its infancy and so is cardiology. Dr Carolyn Lam:                Perhaps in selective settings ... We're not talking here about, for example, hypercholesteremia variance, we're not talking about cancer gene variance for which screening may be a little bit more advanced, and we may understand the gene phenotype associations that are perhaps- Dr Mark Link:                     I think that understanding gene phenotype associations are going to be critically important in the future. I think, as Sanjay said, the real use of genetic screening now is cascade screening for the family, and there it's invaluable. That you can tell if you've got a co-band with the disease, and with a defined pathological mutation. You can test siblings, sons and daughters, parents to see if any of them have the gene. I think that's where it should be used for sure in 2018. Dr Carolyn Lam:                Thank you so much Mark and Sanjay. So some precautions, some hope. Very, very balanced discussion. So much more we could discuss, so I really want to highly encourage our audience. Pick up this issue. You have to read these amazing papers and the editorials. Dr Carolyn Lam:                So, here's a podcast with all your colleagues, and don't forget to tune in next week.  

Performance isn’t as much as a priority as longevity is now, but I still love to compete.  This dilemma, so well stated by one of our clients, got us thinking.  It’s well documented that exercise extends both lifespan and healthspan, and the people we work with typically have no trouble meeting the widely recommended 150 minutes per week of moderate physical activity.  But what happens when you’re a competitive athlete training significantly more than that? For this podcast, I met up with Dr. Tommy Wood, MD, PhD and Performance Psychologist Simon Marshall, PhD to talk about the benefits and risks of intense exercise with regard to longevity and healthspan.  The science points to a U-shaped curve with dangers at both ends of the spectrum - not enough activity and also too much - and we discuss the point at which an athlete’s long-term health might suffer. We also talk about the kinds of exercise that will keep you strong and resilient as you age.

This podcast is about the future of learning - a conversation with Prof. Sanjay Sharma, Professor and Vice President for Open Learning at MIT. A quote which nicely sums up the discussion comes from...

We recently chatted with Sanjay Sharma, MD, MSc (Epid), MBA, professor of ophthalmology at Queen's University and founder of MEDSKL, about trends in medical education and how MEDSKL can be used to improve your educational experience. The post Interview with Sanjay Sharma, MD, MSc (Epid), MBA appeared first on in-Training.

Dr. Carolyn Lam:               Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. I'm Dr. Carolyn Lam, associate editor from the National Heart Center and Youth National University of Singapore. Coming right up, we will be discussing fascinating new data on the prevalence of subclinical coronary artery disease in masters endurance athletes but first, here's your summary of this week's journal. The first paper provides insight into ischemic cellular post conditioning. Now, we know that cardiosphere derived cell therapy has been utilized as a strategy to treat ischemic heart disease and reduce chronic scar burden when administered months after myocardial infarction. In the current study, by first author Dr. de Couto, corresponding authors Dr. Marban and Berman from Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles, California, the authors used rat and pig models of myocardial infarction to show that exosomes, which are nanosize lipid bi-layer vesicles, actually mediate the cardio protective effects of cardiosphere derived cells when administered after reperfusion of myocardial infarction.                                                 They further show that treatment with either cardiosphere-derived cells or their secreted exosomes reduce infarct size and improved functional recovery. Using RNA sequencing to determine exosome content and alterations in gene expression profiles on macrophages from cardiac tissue or bone marrow, they found that a specific micro RNA species miR 181-B within the exosomes, acted on macrophages and was implicated as a key mediator of the cardio-protective benefits. Thus, this study gives new reason to test the idea that allogeneic cardiosphere-derived cells may be efficacious in preventing scar formation and improving cardiac function, when given in the earlier reperfusion period. The data further support that exosomal transfer of miR 181-B from these cardiospheric-derived cells into macrophages underlie the cardio-protective effects after reperfusion.                                                 The next study describes a potential new therapeutic strategy for vasoproliferative retinopathy which can underlie age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in industrialized nations. First author, Dr. Bucher, corresponding authors Dr. Yea and Friedlander, from the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California used rodent models of retinal neo-vascular disease to show that Tspan-12, beta-catenin signaling plays an important role in the development of vasoproliferative retinopathy. As background, Tspan-12 belongs to the Tetraspanin family, which mainly includes cell surface proteins characterized by four transmembrane domains and two extra cellular domains.                                                 Members of the Tspan family participate in a diverse cellular processes and act as signaling platforms by forming Tspan-enriched micro domains in plasma membranes. The authors went further to use a novel phage display combinatorial antibody library to specifically design a Tspan-12 blocking antibody which is capable of interacting with human and mouse Tspan-12 antigen. They then provided strong evidence that the Tspan-12 blocking antibody prevents developmental pathological neovascularization in  murine models of vasoproliferative retinopathy. Combination therapy with a known anti-VEGF agent demonstrated significant synergy supporting the potential clinical use of the anti-Tspan-12 antibody as a novel angiomodulatory agent.                                                 The next study addresses the paradox that blacks have higher coronary heart disease mortality compared with whites, but non-fatal coronary heart disease risks may be lower for black versus white men. To address this paradox, first author Dr. Colantonio, corresponding author, Dr. Safford and colleagues from Weill Cornell Medical College in New York, compared fatal and non-fatal coronary heart disease incidents and case fatality among blacks and whites in three studies. The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities or ARIC study, cardiovascular health study, and reasons for geographic and racial differences in stroke or regards study, all stratified by gender.                                                 They found that the incidents of non-fatal coronary heart disease was consistently lower among black versus white men, although black men have a higher burden of unfavorable social determinants of health and cardiovascular risk factors and a higher fatal coronary heart disease incidents. Following adjustment for social determinants of health and cardiovascular risk factors, black men and women had a similar risk of fatal coronary heart disease, but a lower risk of non-fatal coronary heart disease compared with white men and women respectively. Finally, blacks with incident coronary heart disease had a higher case fatality compared with whites and the difference remained similar after adjustment for social determinants of health and risk factors. Thus, there is an apparent lower risk for non-fatal coronary heart disease among black versus white men and women, which needs to be further studied. Blacks have a higher risk of their initial coronary heart disease event being fatal compared with whites, highlighting the need for reinforcing primary prevention in this population.                                                 The next study provides important information on the burden of re-admissions after hospitalization for critical limb ischemia. First author, Dr. Kolte, corresponding Dr. Aronow and colleagues from Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, used the 2013/2014 nationwide re-admissions databases to identify almost 61,0000 hospitalizations for primary diagnosis of critical limb ischemia during which patients underwent endovascular or surgical therapy. They found a 30-day re-admission rate of 20.4%. Independent predictors of 30-day re-admission included presentation with an ulcer or gangrene, age above 65 years, females, large hospital size teaching hospital status, known coronary artery disease, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, anemia, coagulopathy, obesity, major bleeding, acute myocardial infarction, vascular complications, and sepsis. Interestingly, mode of revascularization was not independently associated with re-admissions.                                                 The most common reasons for re-admissions included infections, persistent or recurrent manifestations of peripheral artery disease, cardiac conditions, procedural complications, and endocrine issues. Finally, the costs of 30-day re-admissions for critical limb ischemia during the study period were 624 million U.S. dollars. Thus, this study provide knowledge of independent predictors and reasons for re-admissions that will help clinicians and hospitals to identify, develop, and implement strategies to reduce re-hospitalizations and healthcare costs associated with critical limb ischemia. The final study tells us that there may be a direct relationship between life-long exercise volume, and coronary atherosclerosis in athletes. Dr. Aengevaeren and colleagues from Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands, studied 284 middle-aged men engaged in competitive or recreational leisure supports, using contrast enhanced CT to assess coronary artery calcification and plaque characteristics.                                                 Participants also reported life-long exercise history patterns and exercise volumes were quantified as metabolic equivalent of task or met minutes per week. They found that participants in the more than 2,000 met minutes per week group had a higher prevalence of coronary artery calcification and atherosclerotic plaques. The most active group did, however, have a more benign composition of plaques with fewer mixed plaques and more often, only calcified plaques. These observations may explain the increased longevity typical of endurance athletes, despite the presence of more coronary atherosclerotic plaques in the most active participants. Well, that wraps it up for your summaries. Now for our featured discussion.                                                 Our current physical activity guidelines recommend 150 minutes of moderate exercise and that's supposed to protect against cardiovascular disease and increase longevity. However, what do we really know about the dose response relationships and the effects of exercises doses that exceed current recommendations. Well, recent data, including a paper in this week's issue, suggests that long-term, high volume endurance exercise may actually accelerate, rather than reduce coronary atherosclerosis. To discuss this exciting paper, we have the corresponding author, Dr. Sanjay Sharma, from Saint George's University of London, as well as editor of digital strategies and associate editor at UT Southwestern who handled this paper, Dr. Amit Khera. Welcome, gentleman. Dr. Amit Khera:                 Good morning. Dr. Sanjay Sharma:          Thanks for having us. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               First, Sanjay, oh yikes! As a runner and as a person who strongly advocates regular exercise, please, please, put us out of our misery. Tell us what you've found and what you think are the possible explanations. Dr. Sanjay Sharma:          I'm a runner too, and I don't think anyone would argue that the benefits of exercise on the cardiovascular system are unrivaled. People who exercise regularly do reduce their risk of an adverse event from a heart attack by 50% when they're in their 5th and 6th decade and they live around three years longer than people who don't exercise at all. Now as you rightly point out, the current recommendation suggests 2 1/2 hours of moderate physical activity per week and by that I would mean, at maximum, a 15-minute mile pace. Clearly, our endurance athletes exercise much, much more than that. They exercise 10 to 20 times greater than that volume and in parallel with this has been the emergence of a large number of people participating in marathon runs. For example, in Europe, there were two million marathon runs per annum and that figure's going up by about 5%.                                                 Coinciding with this burgeoning increase in endurance exercise, is the development of several reports that show that exercise may cause release of biomarkers of cardiac damage. Animal experiments have shown that exercise may cause scaring in the heart and human studies have shown that some marathon runners have more calcium in their coronary arteries compared to relatively sedentary individuals. One of the problems with these studies is firstly, the biomarker release is very transient, it goes away after about two days. Animal experiments cannot really reflect what goes on in human beings because they're artificial and animals are forced to exercise with electrical shocks, et cetera. The studies in human beings have been conducted in runners who have been former smokers.                                                 In fact, the most commonly reported study or cited study, contained individuals of whom 50% had risk factors for coronary artery disease. What we decided to do was to do a clean study, where we took 150 individuals who had none of the risk factors for coronary artery disease and 92 relatively sedentary controls who exercise within the normal limits. We have to exclude a lot of people because we have to exclude anyone that had ever smoked, anyone that had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a family history of permanent cardiac disease. We actually subjected them to all sorts of investigations and we found that a small number of male runners had more calcium in their arteries compared to sedentary individuals. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               Wow! Please tell us that there's something good that you can say about that. First of all, I really want to congratulate you on this most elegant study and Amit, I'm sure you put in what the editor's thought but we're just so proud to be publishing such a high quality study here. Amit, is there anything you might want to add of what the editors thought? Dr. Amit Khera:                 Sure, I first want to congratulate Dr. Sharma and his colleagues. This was a carefully done study and we've talked a bit about the coronary calcium but there was extensive investigation and I really think this advanced the field. Sounds like all three of us are runners, so this hit home to all of us and as he mentioned, this has been a very hot area and one that's been very controversial. I think here what we have is a manuscript that really helped move the field forward, helped us better understand the biology. The one thing I'll comment on that we found very interesting was the observation that those that were the masters athletes actually had more of a calcific phenotype, where as those that were not looked like a soft plaque phenotype, if you will. Actually, if you look, we have a companion article in circulation looking at sort of dose dependent finding a similar finding. My question, now turned back to Dr. Sharma is, what do you counsel your patients now with these findings? Has it changed now how you recommend exercise or your thoughts on how you counsel them? Dr. Sanjay Sharma:          Well, we examined 152 different athletes, or masters athletes in 92 controls. These athletes were aged 56 years old, who'd been training for 36 years and had immediate marathon number of 13. Now, what we've found in these individuals is that a small number of males, that's 11%, had a coronary artery calcium score of more than 300. Some men had more plaques than sedentary individuals and these plaques were distributed throughout all three coronary arteries. When we looked at the pathology of the plaques very carefully, we found that the plaques in the athletes were calcified. Indeed, 72% of athletes had very calcified plaques. We know that such calcified plaques are stable, they're less likely to fissure and are less likely to cause coronary thrombosis and therefore, acute myocardial infarction.                                                 This led us to propose that although exercise may be causing some atherosclerosis through the sheering and stressful source during exercise of the bending and kicking of vessels, we believe that the repair mechanism here is different to that seen in people who smoke or who have high cholesterol or high blood pressure. The repair mechanism results in very calcified and stable plaques in athletes and this may actually mitigate the risk of acute myocardial infarction and may explain why the number of people who actually suffer an acute myocardial infarction during a marathon run is very small, around 1 in 50,000, and no different to the number of people who suffer a sudden cardiac arrest playing football or basketball, due to congenital or inherited abnormalities of the heart.  Dr. Carolyn Lam:               Sanjay, those are just such important points to keep in mind as we read your paper. It did strike me as a significant minority, actually, of these long term endurance athletes who develop significant coronary artery calcification and it could potentially be a clinically benign phenotype. At the end of the day, this is a cross-sectional study, isn't it? We can't, I suppose, extrapolate into the clinical events. What are your postulations there and what could be future work that you're planning? Dr. Sanjay Sharma:          Well, you make a good point. This is a cross-sectional study and the demonstration of an increased cardiopathy calcium does not necessarily reflect future cardiac events. We have followed these individuals up for the last 18 months. These masters athletes and have not demonstrated a single one to develop an acute event that would last 18 months. We really don't know what the meaning of these plaques is. I think the only thing to do now, being we've got the liberty of having so many people that do marathon runs and so many people who've been exercising for three or four decades, we can actually do a prolonged follow up study, so the answers will be a while coming. To follow these people up with high calcium, just to see whether they do go on to develop adverse events in the future. All our study has shown is that some male athletes who've exercised lifelong get an increasing number of plaques. These plaques appear to be calcified and stable and the long term effects of such  plaques is unknown. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               Sanjay, just circling back to Amit's question earlier and maybe Amit, you could take it to after this. What do we recommend to our athletes who come in and have a high coronary artery calcium score? Do we tell them to stop? Dr. Sanjay Sharma:          I certainly wouldn't and I'm much less worried about an increase coronary calcium score in a lifelong runner or cyclist than I was 10 years ago. It appears that these plaques are there in some individuals, they are calcified, they appear stable. Given the fact that we know that coronary events during marathon running in experienced runners are very, very low indeed. I don't think I would be keen to do anything about it, not even consider stacking therapy based on our findings at present. As I said before, we do need longitudinal follow up to really identify all ascertain the precise implications of these plaques in masters athletes. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               Right, and this is again recognizing that your particular population was free of traditional cardiovascular disease. Of course, if we were to find these risk factors in our athletes, we would most certainly treat the traditional risk factors. Amit, anything to add there? Dr. Amit Khera:                 I think that was an excellent point about his approach to counseling patients. I will mention on the editorial staff, we felt like this was such an interesting area with emerging data and fast moving, that it was warranting of an editorial. I recommend people to look at the one by Aaron Baggish and Ben Levine. I think they had a very similar conclusion and that was that they don't necessarily proscribe exercise in patients with high coronary calcium but rather, focus on risk mitigation strategy, focusing on risk factors as we normally would do. I think the conclusions are similar and the thoughts in that editorial were insightful, pairing both of these papers and helping us make sense out of this really evolving field. Dr. Carolyn Lam:               Well, thank you Sanjay and Amit for this wonderful discussion. I learned so much as I'm sure our listeners did. You've been listening to Circulation On The Run. Tune in next week. 

Medical education is not something you think of getting through an online course. There s so much detail, so much minutia – you expect that you d HAVE to sit in a classroom or do work in a lab to do it well. But Dr. Sanjay Sharma doesn t think that s necessarily true, especially in light of the methods of learning that work best for the millennial generation that s entering med school these days. On this episode, med school meets creativity as we unpack the truly innovative things Sanjay and his team are doing to educate new students with new technologies. It s all on this episode of Converge.     Open your eyes to what s going on around you. It could be how you identify the next big thing. When Sanjay Sharma noticed that the students in his medical lectures were not paying attention, he wasn t surprised. But when he noticed that what they were doing instead was watching Youtube videos or browsing the internet, he began to question things. A conversation with his wife led him to ask whether the modalities used in the med school classroom are as effective as they can be and if not, what can be done to change. On this episode, you’ll hear Dr. Sharma s journey from physician and med school educator to tech entrepreneur and online educator. His journey and in particular his ability to stop and observe what s happening around him are exactly what equipped him to take advantage of an opportunity and meet a tremendous need.   Medical education through animation and video is not so easy to produce. Some of the challenges Dr. Sharma s team faces when putting the important medical concepts they teach in digital form have to do with what Dane calls translation issues. Somebody who is creative and knows the technical side of the online educational platform has to be able to understand the medical concepts needing communication, well enough to translate them into simple, memorable phrases that can be communicated visually. It s not an easy leap to make but Sanjay s team has done an incredible job forging a merger between creativity and medical education – and it s catching on. Learn more on this episode. Advice for those seeking to do what s in them to do. Listening to this episode of Converge you ll hear two remarkable stories. One of Dr. Sanjay Sharma and how he has built a prestigious medical career AND has built a team to develop an online medical education curriculum. The other is of his son, a young man who is very much a prodigy when it comes to painting. It s easy to hear their stories and their backgrounds and make excuses for yourself. You re not a Doctor after all. You didn t grow up in a well-off home. But Dr. Sharma addresses that issue powerfully on this episode when he says that you ve got the power to decide that what you have to add to the world matters. And you have the power to make it happen as well. You can hear his solid advice by listening.

Inside Health listener and keep fit enthusiast, David Heathcote, wanted advice on how far he should safely push himself when he's training in the gym. In this special programme about the health benefits of keeping active, Dr Mark Porter helps David to find the answer to his question about the exercise "sweet spot". If you struggle to screw the top off a jar, or use your arms to push yourself out of your chair, that's a sure fire sign, according to Dr Philip Conaghan, consultant rheumatologist and Professor of Musculoskeletal Medicine at the University of Leeds, that your muscles are weak. And the good news is that building muscle strength will protect your joints, not damage them. Dr Conaghan tells Mark that there's a worrying lack of understanding about the impact of muscle weakness on arthritic joints. Over the last decade there's been a growing interest in the relationship between activity and the risk of developing cancer. Studies have demonstrated that exercise appears to have a protective effect against at least four different cancers (breast cancer, colon cancer, endometrial cancer and some upper gastrointestinal cancers) and that being fit helps recovery from cancer too. Dr Denny Levett, a consultant in peri-operative medicine and critical care at University Hospital, Southampton who has a special interest in the relationship between exercise and health, says the reason for the apparent protective effect of fitness is still being researched but the evidence that the effect exists is now widely accepted. Professor of Clinical Cardiology, Sanjay Sharma from St George's University of London outlines the benefits to our hearts of keeping active and Park Run fan and regular Inside Health contributor, Dr Margaret McCartney, admits how running has become something of an obsession and promises that the evidence shows that when it comes to getting fitter, it's never too late to start.

From this week all UK babies will be vaccinated against that most feared disease, meningitis B, the first country in the world to take this step. But the decision to include Men B in the national immunisation programme has come too late for parents, Freya and Ross. A year ago their baby daughter, Harmonie, nearly died after contracting the infection. Her arms and legs as well as the tip of her nose had to be amputated because of the resulting sepsis. Sue Davie, Chief Executive of Meningitis Now tells Mark that the vaccine is great news and will save many lives. But she hopes in the future that it will be offered to older babies and young children, as well as another at risk group, adolescents. Mental health problems have long been linked to fluctuating hormone levels, at times of menstruation, childbirth and menopause. Dr Michael Craig who runs the Female Hormone Clinic at the Maudsley Hospital in London discusses the role of hormone replacement treatments. Statins are the most commonly prescribed medicines in the UK. They work to lower the level of cholesterol in your blood. There's been considerable debate about when doctors should start prescribing statins and NICE, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence, had been keen for GPs to be paid to put more patients on the cholesterol-reducing drugs. Dr Margaret McCartney outlines the controversy and NICE Deputy Chief Executive, Professor Gillian Leng, tells Mark that the health advisory body has listened to concerns and why their new statins targets are now to be tested in the field. Young, healthy, sporty people don't get heart attacks. Except when they do. Dr Stuart Miller, Clinical Director of Sport and Exercise Medicine at the University of Bath admits that he was shocked when he had a heart attack, even though he cycles, swims and eats a healthy diet. Sanjay Sharma is professor of cardiology at St George's Hospital in London and he tells Mark how common unexpected heart attacks are. Producer: Fiona Hill.

Sport was the theme of 2012’s British Cardiovascular Society Conference, and Sanjay Sharma (professor at the CRY Inherited Cardiac Diseases and Sports Cardiology Unit, St Georges Hospital) spoke about sudden cardiac death in athletes.Christopher Burrell (consultant cardiologist at the Southwest Cardiothoracic Centre, Plymouth) caught him after the session to ask about the conditions which cause SCD, what to look out for on an athlete’s electrocardiogram or echocardiogram, and whether or not we should be screening.See also:Webcasts from all the sessions at the British Cardiovascular Society Conference 2012 http://bit.ly/ZMGmUE

Whooping cough is on the rise - but the official figures could be the tip of the iceberg, according to one doctor. Retired GP from Nottinghamshire Dr Doug Jenkinson has spent most of his professional life researching the condition which is also known as pertussis. He says that instead of around 1,700 cases every year, there could be tens of thousands. He personally has seen around 700 cases and a blood test available for the last few years has helped to confirm cases. The key to diagnosis is a cough which almost causes choking - sometimes with the characteristic whooping sound - which then subsides for a few hours. The cough can last up to 3 months. The cough can be dangerous for infants under the age of one - who can catch it from parents and grandparents. Dr Jenkinson suggests a vaccine booster could be offered to parents-to-be. Following the recent high profile cases of elite sportspeople collapsing with undiagnosed heart conditions should screening be made available to amateurs? Since the collapse of footballer Fabrice Muamba on the pitch earlier this year the profile of so-called silent heart conditions has risen. Sanjay Sharma is Professor of Cardiology at St George's Hospital - he works closely with the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young or CRY - and supports screening. CRY believes that screening will pick up an abnormality in as many as 1 in 300 youngsters - although it freely admits that the vast majority of these would never have gone on to develop a serious problem. And it is the resulting disruption to these children's lives that puts some people off screening, not least because they far outnumber those likely to be saved by the tests. Dr Anne Mackie is the Director of Programmes for the UK National Screening Committee. She says that she wouldn't even opt for screening for her own children Following last week's feature on unfounded rumours that toys were to be banned from GP waiting rooms to reduce the risk of cross infection, an Inside Health listener emailed the programme to ask about the evidence behind products marketed as killing germs on the various surfaces we touch at home. So what's the science behind adding antibacterial agents to household products? Dr Kamran Abbasi, Editor of the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine reveals that there is no evidence to show that products labelled 'antibacterial' reduce the number of infections in the home any more than 'regular' cleaning products. GP Margaret McCartney explains why she thinks the latest campaign to encourage more self-care for minor ailments is wrong to imply that people who consult their doctor about dandruff are wasting NHS resources. The NHS 'Choose Well Summer' campaign says 'self care is the best option if you have a summer health complaint' and it's supported by the National Association for Patient Participation, who say it's all about 'empowering individuals'. The campaign was launched with headlines about the 40,000 visits in a year to GPs which were for dandruff. But what was really behind those consultations? And how good are we at looking after our own health? Computer games are being used to help people recover from strokes and brain injury, thanks to experts in Reading. Products like Microsoft's Xbox Kinect - which can recognise a player's movements - are being adapted by Professor Malcolm Sperrin at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. The technology allows patients to select an activity - from dancing to golf or ten pin bowling - and monitor their progress as part of their recovery. The charity Headway - which supports people with brain injury - is using the technology in the community to help people to recover at home.
