A mini-stroke — also called a transient ischemic attack, or TIA — can feel like a stroke, but symptoms often fade within minutes. That can make it easy to brush off, but a TIA is a serious warning sign of a possible major stroke. In this episode, Mary Kalafut, MD, a neurologist at Scripps Clinic, explains what a mini-stroke is, what causes it, how it's diagnosed and treated and what to do right away — plus steps you can take to lower your risk.

Pelvic floor disorders are common, but many people hesitate to talk about symptoms like leakage, pressure or prolapse. The pelvic floor supports key organs, and when it weakens, problems can develop. In this episode, Varuna Raizada, MD, a urogynecologist at Scripps Clinic, explains what the pelvic floor does, common disorders and who's at risk. Dr. Raizada discusses diagnosis, treatment options — including physical therapy, estrogen cream and surgery — plus lifestyle changes, at-home exercises and when it's time to see a doctor.

Glomerular disease affects the kidney's filtering units and can lead to inflammation or scarring that makes it harder to remove waste and excess fluid. Zhabiz Solhjou, MD, a nephrologist at Scripps Clinic, breaks down the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Solhjou also explains who's most at risk, the difference between primary and secondary glomerular disease and how the Scripps glomerular disease clinic helps protect kidney function.

Cardiomyopathy is a serious condition that affects the heart muscle, making it harder for the heart to pump blood the way it should. Rajeev Mohan, MD, a cardiologist specializing in advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology at Scripps Clinic, explains the different types of cardiomyopathy — including stress-induced "broken heart syndrome" — and what symptoms to watch for. Dr. Mohan also walks through how cardiomyopathy is diagnosed, the latest treatment options (from medications to implanted devices and surgery) and when it's time to see a doctor.

About 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. It's the second-leading cause of cancer-related death for American men, behind lung cancer, according to the American Cancer Society.Wednesday on Midday Edition, we invite Jerry McCormick to tell the story of his own diagnosis and his efforts to spread awareness of the disease.Then, we get a medical perspective on prostate cancer, from getting screened to available treatments.Guests:Jerry McCormick, prostate cancer awareness advocateDr. Ramdev Konijeti, director of the Genitourinary Oncology Program at Scripps Cancer Center, surgeon with Scripps Clinic

Robotic spine surgery is changing the way back conditions are treated. With greater precision and less recovery time, it can be a game changer for the right patients. Stephen Stephan, MD, orthopedic spine surgeon at Scripps Clinic, answers common questions and explains how it works.

A leaky tricuspid valve can cause blood to flow backward in the heart, leading to symptoms like fatigue, leg swelling, shortness of breath and even heart failure. But new minimally invasive procedures are changing how this condition is treated. Devices like the TriClip repair system and tricuspid valve replacement offer safer options than open heart surgery. Matthew Price, MD, an interventional cardiologist at Scripps Clinic, explains how these treatments are helping people return to active, healthy lives.

Our next AAOS 2025 Annual Meeting poster is titled Mid-term Follow-up of Patellofemoral Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation. This study was performed by Dr. Bill Bugbee and his team at the Scripps Clinic. Dr. Bugbee was a guest on our show back in November 2023.  That is episode 59 and 60, if you want to go check it out.  In that episode, we discussed osteochondral allograft transplantation for various cartilage defects of the knee, including medial and lateral tibiofemoral, which are the more common locations for OCA transplantation.  This study focuses specifically on outcomes of OCA transplantation for patellofemoral cartilage defects.This study identified 127 patients undergoing OCA transplantation in the patellofemoral compartment – 51 to the patella, 47 to the trochlea and 29 bipolar patella and trochlea.  The most common indication was a degenerative cartilage lesion at 47%, followed by a traumatic cartilage injury at 25% and osteochondritis dissecans at 15%.  All patients had a minimum follow-up of 2 years.  OCA failure was defined as any reoperation that involved removal of the allograft.  Patient reported outcomes were also assessed pre-op and post-op, including the IKDC score and KOOS score.So, what did this study find?  First, reoperations occurred in 39% of the knees.  Rate of reoperation was not statistically significant between patella, trochlea and bipolar grafts.  Second, OCA failures occurred in 16% of the knees at a median 4.4 years following the index surgery, and the most common revision procedure was arthroplasty.  Although it did not reach statistical significance, trochlear grafts had a lower failure rate of 9% compared to patellar grafts at 20% and bipolar grafts at 21%.Overall, graft survivorship at 5 and 10 years was 91% and 82%, respectively.  Patients with patellar, trochlear and bipolar grafts all had significant improvement in IKDC scores and KOOS scores from preop to the latest follow-up and no statistically significant differences were observed between the groups.  Overall, 77% of patients reported being satisfied with the results of the OCA transplantation with no statistically significant differences in satisfaction between the groups.Also check out:Episode 91: Dr. Tom DeBerardino 0n Advances in Patellofemoral Cartilage Restoration

Finding out a pregnancy is high-risk can understandably bring a mix of emotions. But a highly skilled perinatology team can ensure that high-risk moms-to-be receive the very best care and have the healthiest pregnancy possible. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and Sean Daneshmand, MD, medical director of the department of maternal-fetal health at Scripps Clinic, and Scripps prenatal genetic counselor Caitlin Grandfield, discuss what constitutes a high-risk pregnancy and how physicians care for high-risk moms-to-be.

An estimated one in eight men will develop prostate cancer at some point in their lives. For the roughly 300,000 men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer every year, early detection and treatment can help ensure to a successful outcome. And as prostate cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages, regular screenings are key to early diagnosis. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and Scripps Clinic urologist Ramsey Chichakli, MD, discuss prostate cancer, how it's diagnosed, and treatment options. Dr. Chichakli also explains how surgery for prostate cancer has advanced over the years to become more precise and less invasive.

Heart failure is a life-threatening condition that affects more than five million people in the U.S. each year. However, the “failure” part can be a little misleading. It doesn't mean that the heart has ceased to function; it means that, while the heart is still pumping, it can no longer effectively pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and Rola Khedraki, MD, a heart failure and transplant cardiologist at Scripps Clinic, discuss the causes of heart failure, its symptoms, treatment options, and who's at risk. Dr. Khedraki also outlines what people can do now to help prevent heart failure in the future.

Just about everybody gets a headache from time to time. But for the 45 million Americans who suffer from chronic headaches, it can seem like frequent pain is just a part of life. Having a headache seemingly all the time isn't normal. Fortunately, treatment is within reach. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and Scripps Clinic neurologist Emily Rubenstein Engel, MD, discuss the different types of headaches, what causes them, and how they're treated. Dr. Engel also outlines what happens during a doctor's appointment for a chronic headache diagnosis and when further investigation is needed.

Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer diagnosed in the U.S. and kills roughly 53,000 people each year. It's understandably not something people like to talk about, but initiating the conversation with your doctor about your risk for colorectal cancer could end up saving your life. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and guest Walter Coyle, MD, he head of gastroenterology at Scripps Clinic, discuss the signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer, who's at risk, how it's diagnosed, and treatment options. Dr. Coyle also touches on the environmental factors that could be behind an increase in colorectal cancers in younger people.  

CardioNerds Dan Ambinder and Dr. Devesh Rai join cardiology fellows and National Lipid Association lipid scholars Dr. Oby Ibe from Temple University and Dr. Elizabeth Epstein from Scripps Clinic. They discuss a case involving a patient with elevated Lp(a). Dr. Jessica Pena provides expert commentary. Drs. Oby Ibe and Elizabeth Epstein drafted notes. CardioNerds Intern Christiana Dangas engineered episode audio. This episode is part of a case reports series developed in collaboration with the National Lipid Association and their Lipid Scholarship Program, with mentorship from Dr. Daniel Soffer and Dr. Eugenia Gianos. This is a 63-year-old man with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and active tobacco smoking who presented with acute dyspnea. He was tachycardic but otherwise initially hemodynamically stable. The physical exam demonstrated warm extremities with no murmurs or peripheral edema. Chest X-ray revealed diffuse pulmonary edema, and the ECG showed sinus tachycardia with T-wave inversions in the inferior leads. A bedside echocardiogram revealed a flail anterior mitral valve leaflet. The patient was taken for cardiac catheterization that revealed nonobstructive mid-RCA atheroma with a distal RCA occlusion, which was felt to reflect embolic occlusion from recanalized plaque. PCI was not performed. Right heart catheterization then demonstrated a low cardiac index as well as elevated PCWP and PA pressures. An intra-aortic balloon pump was placed at that time. A TEE was performed soon after which showed the posteromedial papillary muscle was ruptured with flail segments of the anterior mitral leaflet as well as severe posteriorly directed mitral regurgitation. The patient ultimately underwent a successful tissue mitral valve replacement and CABG. US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds! Submit your manuscript here.

Pearls - Little (a), Big Deal – National Lipid Association You are never too young to see a preventive cardiologist! The field of preventive cardiology is shifting focus towards the identification of early upstream risk and intervention before the development of clinical ASCVD (1,5). Patients who have a strong family history of cardiovascular disease, a personal history of CVD at an early age, multiple risk factors, or genetic disorders such as familial hypercholesterolemia especially benefit from early cardiovascular risk assessment and reduction. Female-specific risk factors to incorporate into a young woman's cardiovascular risk assessment include polycystic ovarian syndrome, hormone contraceptive use, early menarche (age 5 pregnancies), early menopause (age

For the roughly 40 million Americans living with diabetes, it's critical to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Continuous blood sugar monitors may be able to help. The devices track blood sugar levels 24/7—no finger pricks required. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and guest, Athena Philis-Tsimikas, MD, a Scripps Clinic endocrinologist and corporate vice president of the Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute, discuss the benefits of continuous glucose monitors for patients with diabetes. Dr. Tsimikas also explains how continuous glucose monitors can work in tandem with an insulin pump to automatically control blood sugar levels.

Chronic back pain can make everyday activities difficult. Exercise, putting away groceries, or simply twisting or turning can cause muscle and spinal pain. Back pain affects eight out of 10 people at some point in their lives, and for many, it goes away on its own. But for those with lasting or recurring back problems, minimally invasive surgery may be the solution that stops their pain for good. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and Scripps Clinic orthopedic surgeon Robert Eastlack, MD, discuss common causes of back pain and how minimally invasive back surgery works to bring patients relief, often with less downtime than traditional open surgeries. Dr. Eastlack also shares tips to protect your back.

Pregnancy is an exciting time, but it can also be tough on your heart. Your heart is working overtime to support you and your baby, and it's surprisingly common for women to develop some type of heart problem during pregnancy or exacerbate an existing condition, such as hypertension or high blood pressure. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor interviews Scripps Clinic cardiologist Poulina Uddin, MD, and Sean Daneshmand, MD, a Scripps Clinic OB-GYN and medical director of the Scripps perinatology program. They discuss how being pregnant can affect the heart, common heart problems that can develop in pregnancy, and how those conditions may affect the baby. They also explain how doctors can treat heart conditions while protecting the pregnancy.

More and more women are waiting until their mid- to late 30s to have children. Advanced maternal age pregnancies come with higher risks, but health care providers are prepared. Scripps has expert perinatologists and support staff who specialize in high-risk pregnancy care. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor interviews Daniela Gomez, MD, a Scripps Clinic obstetrician and gynecologist (OB-GYN) specializing in maternal and fetal medicine, and Alex Fite, a prenatal genetic counselor at Scripps Clinic. They discuss the factors that may make it harder to conceive as a woman gets older, conditions that occur more often in babies born to moms over 35, and what health care providers can do to help ensure babies are born healthy.

On this episode, we're going to continue our discussion with Dr. William Bugbee and focus on OCA surgical technique and then discuss clinical outcomes including return to sports.Our conversation picks back up with a recent paper from the July issue of Cartilage this year titled “Young Age and Concomitant or Prior Bony Realignment Procedures are Associated with Decreased Risk of Failure of Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation in the Knee.” This retrospective nationwide database study represents the largest OCA cohort study to date and found that less than 2% of patients required salvage surgery. Young age, less than 29, and having a bony realignment procedure were associated with a significantly lower rate of salvage surgery – include revision cartilage procedures and arthroplasty.We finish up today with an article from the June 2017 issue of AJSM titled “Return to Sport and Recreational Activity after Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation in the Knee.” Dr. Bugbee and colleagues at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla California reported that at a mean follow up of 6 years, 75% of patients were able to return to sport or recreational activity. Patients who did not return were more likely to be female and have a large graft size. 25% of knees underwent further surgery and 9% were considered allograft failures. Of the patients without OCA failure, 91% were satisfied with the results of surgery.

On today's episode we're focusing on osteochondral allograft transplantation or “OCA” with Dr. William Bugbee. We have some great articles for you that contribute well to our conversation on OCA, including allograft preparation and storage, graft choice, surgical technique, clinical outcomes of OCA and return to sport. We'll start off our discussion today with an article authored by our guest, Dr. William Bugbee, from the May 2022 issue of AJSM titled “Fresh Osteochondral and Chondral Allograft Preservation and Storage Media: A Systematic Review of the Literature.” There was significant variability in experimental designs and incomplete reporting across the studies, so no real conclusions could be drawn regarding optimal storage conditions. While 60% of animal model studies suggest storage time may impact outcomes and 80% indicate inferior outcomes with frozen OCA compared to fresh OCA, the authors note that 75% of clinical studies reported no correlation between storage time and outcomes. So, we have a lot left to learn here.Then, from the March 2022 issue of AJSM, we review an article titled “Association of Sex Mismatch Between Donor and Recipient With Graft Survivorship at 5 Years After OCA Transplantation.” Dr. Gomoll and colleagues at Brigham and Women's reported that a significantly lower rate of graft survival was observed after different sex donor-recipient transplant compared to same sex donor-recipient OCA – 63% compared to 92%. Patients who received a donor-recipient sex-mismatch transplantation were 2.9X more likely to fail. Male donor to female recipient demonstrated the highest likelihood of failure compared to all other combinations.We are joined today by Dr. William Bugbee, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon specializing in joint reconstruction and cartilage restoration at Scripps Clinic in La Jolla, California. Dr. Bugbee received his medical degree from UC San Diego and remained at UC San Diego for his orthopedic surgery residency.  He then went on to complete a fellowship in joint reconstruction at the Anderson Orthopaedic Research Institute. Dr. Bugbee has published extensively on the topic of osteochondral allograft transplantation, so we're very excited that he is joining us today to share his expertise with all of you!

Description: Co-host Ryan Piansky, a graduate student and patient advocate living with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and eosinophilic asthma, and co-host Mary Jo Strobel, APFED's Executive Director, speak with Dr. Jenny Huang, an allergy and immunology fellow at Scripps Clinic, who has a unique perspective of also living with eosinophilic gastritis (EoG). In this episode, Ryan and Mary Jo interview Dr. Jenny Huang about various EGIDs, her allergy and immunology fellowship, her EoG diagnosis, and the elimination diet she follows to treat her EoG. Dr. Huang speaks about patients she sees, and how her experience of following an elimination diet gives her passion for helping people and guiding them to a treatment plan that works for their lifestyle. She advises patients to ask their doctors lots of questions and tell all their family and friends about their condition so they can be supportive.   Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is designed to support, not replace the relationship that exists between listeners and their healthcare providers. Opinions, information, and recommendations shared in this podcast are not a substitute for medical advice. Decisions related to medical care should be made with your healthcare provider. Opinions and views of guests and co-hosts are their own.   Key Takeaways: [:49] Co-host Ryan Piansky welcomes co-host Mary Jo Strobel. Mary Jo introduces Dr. Jenny Huang, an allergy and immunology fellow at Scripps Clinic living with eosinophilic gastritis (EoG). Dr. Huang is passionate about gastrointestinal disorders and spreading awareness about EGID. She recently published a commentary about her experiences.   [2:20] Dr. Huang explains that eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) are diseases of the GI tract that result from eosinophils, a type of white blood cell causing inflammation. Depending on where the eosinophilic inflammation occurs, you can have different symptoms.   [2:43] The role of the esophagus is to get food from the mouth to the stomach. When there is eosinophilic inflammation, you have eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) that can cause difficulty swallowing or food getting stuck. If you have inflammation in the stomach, that is eosinophilic gastritis (EoG). This can cause abdominal pain or nausea.   [3:31] Dr. Huang is an allergy and immunology fellow. She trained in internal medicine. Even in medical school, she knew she wanted to be an allergist. In her second and third years of residency, she began having symptoms that she thought were related to the stress of putting together her fellowship application while working in the hospital.   [3:56] One day, Dr. Huang had a terrible episode of vomiting and she knew she needed to get medical advice rather than trying to treat herself.   [4:17] Dr. Huang learned about EoG for the first time after she was being evaluated for it. During her residency, she had learned about EoE, but not other eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs). Her allergist brought it up. Dr. Huang did a lot of reading and research after that.   [4:48] Dr. Huang says there were times when she couldn't finish breakfast because of so much nausea and abdominal pain. She started carrying around TumsⓇ, which was something she had never done. Those things made her realize that something was wrong.   [5:11] Dr. Huang was treated by the assistant director of the allergy fellowship program where she is now training. She says he is one of the nicest, smartest people she knows. Dr. Huang had done her internal medicine residency in the same program, so she knew all of the allergists. Dr. Huang had no doubt the doctor would figure out her problem.   [5:49] Dr. Huang remembers the day she had her appointment with him. The intake nurse seemed to recognize Dr. Huang from when she had done rotations in the office, but she couldn't quite place her and didn't ask. [6:19] Dr. Huang describes her difficulties in following the six-food elimination diet that she and her GI doctor decided were the best option for her to manage EoG. Deciding on a treatment plan is a personal decision that should fit the needs of the patient. Dr. Huang decided on the elimination diet with no idea how difficult it would be.   [7:02] Dr. Huang went to the grocery store the same day and was overwhelmed trying to read all the labels. She had never really read nutritional labels before. She stopped going to a lot of restaurants because she had to ask so many questions before ordering.   [7:27] Ryan shares childhood experiences of going from an elemental diet to a strict elimination diet. He relates to Dr Huang's experiences at the grocery store and cooking.   [8:15] When Dr. Huang first began the elimination diet, most of her allowed foods were fruits, vegetables, and meats. She was able to add back most foods within a year but the hardest food for her to avoid in the beginning was soy. Her favorite food is tofu. Soy was the first food she added back and she was so happy when she was okay.   [8:44] When she started reading labels for her elimination diet, Dr. Huang learned that some soy sauce has wheat in it. So, she started buying soy sauce that doesn't have wheat in it.   [8:57] Dr. Huang did the elimination diet as an adult and found it incredibly difficult. She applauds Ryan for doing it as a child. Ryan is grateful to his parents for helping him navigate that along the way.   [9:20] In Dr. Huang's article, she recommended that providers try living on an elimination diet for a week. It's challenging! She has not been able to convince anyone to try it. When she suggests it, the look on their face is telling! It's so hard. If people don't see a reason to do it, it's just not done.   [10:15] An anecdote from Dr. Huang's article was about eating at the American College of Gastroenterology conference. She asked the waiter to help her find something free of milk, wheat, eggs, soy, seafood, and other ingredients she could not have. Ryan felt it was so relatable. Ryan was at a conference this summer where he could not eat.   [11:13] Dr. Huang brings a lot of snacks with her when she travels. She sticks to brands that she knows are safe for her. She searches ahead of time for restaurants with allergen menus. At restaurants, she always shares what foods she is avoiding so they can help her with choices.   [11:42] Mary Jo mentions that the APFED conferences provide appropriate menu choices for people on elimination diets.   [12:17] Dr. Huang's partner is a gastroenterologist specializing in esophageal diseases. He was in general GI fellowship training when Dr. Huang was diagnosed. He has been supportive of what Dr. Huang has been through with the diagnosis. He did the elimination diet with her, helped her cook, and supported her.   [13:27] The elimination diet is the only way Dr. Huang has managed her EoG. She has had repeat endoscopies with biopsies and the diet has been working so far. She's keeping her fingers crossed.   [14:00] When Dr. Huang was first diagnosed, she wasn't sure how bad her disease was or how much worse it would get and it frightened her. Fortunately, her symptoms have been controlled so it hasn't impacted her career that much. But she feels like this diagnosis has given her a calling and a direction for her career.   [14:33] Dr. Huang plans to study EGIDs. She has been doing EGID research studies during her fellowship. She wants to help people with it. She wants people to know that they're not alone and even though we don't have all the answers now, we will one day.   [15:08] Dr. Huang gets excited when she sees that someone is coming in with EoE or EGIDs because she automatically feels a special connection to them. She spends a lot of time counseling on the diagnosis, making sure the treatment plan fits their lifestyle and is something the patient can realistically do.   [15:29] Dr. Huang thinks back to when she would recommend dietary changes without understanding what that meant for the patient. Having gone through it, now she can better counsel patients.    [16:38] Dr. Huang discusses quality of life issues of treatment with her patients. She explains how difficult an elimination diet is. Currently for EoE, the only FDA-approved treatment is dupilumab by injection.    [18:02] Dr. Huang's advice for those with a new diagnosis of EoG is to talk to your doctor and ask a lot of questions. Make follow-up in-person appointments. Make a list of all the questions you have and talk through it with your doctor. If you pursue an elimination diet, get with a dietician to help navigate that. It's confusing in the beginning.   [18:36] Patients, talk to your family and friends. They can help support you at medical appointments and procedures. They can call ahead to restaurants and make sure your dietary restrictions can be met there. They can accommodate your dietary restrictions at home. Don't hide your diagnosis from the people around you. Hiding makes it more difficult.   [19:05] Mary Jo thanks Dr. Jenny Huang for joining them to share her experience and ask for additional thoughts.   [19:18] Dr. Huang wants people with EoG to know that they're not alone. EoG is rare but it's an increasingly recognized and diagnosed disease. It's easy to feel alone when your doctor tells you that you have a rare disease. Someone else out there knows how you feel.   [19:48] Ryan thanks Dr. Huang for sharing all of her experiences today.   [19:51] To connect with others impacted by eosinophilic diseases, join APFED's online community on the Inspire Network at apfed.org/connections.   [20:04] To learn more about eosinophilic gastritis, visit apfed.org/eog.

A startling stat: According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 42 percent of adults and nearly 20 percent of children are obese—that's around 115 million people. Weight loss medication and/or bariatric surgery may be options for some of those whose health is at risk due to their weight and lifestyle. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and guests Scripps Clinic endocrinologist Jennie Luna, MD, and Scripps Clinic bariatric surgeon Mark Takata, MD, discuss the genetic and societal causes of obesity, why diet and exercise just aren't enough for some people, and how weight loss medication and bariatric surgery work to help people lose weight when other methods are ineffective. Dr. Luna and Dr. Takata also outline the health risks that come with obesity.

Life can take a toll on the skin in the form of sun damage, acne scars, wrinkles, and sagging—and believe it or not, volume loss can start at just 28 years old. But it's possible to look younger without resorting to invasive surgery. Cosmetic procedures, such as injectables and laser treatments, can freshen up your look with minimal downtime. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and Scripps Clinic dermatologist and cosmetic surgeon Rawaa Almukhtar, MD, discuss what causes your skin to age in the first place, how to soften and fill in fine lines, the types of cosmetic injectables on the market, and the latest trends in cosmetic dermatology. Dr. Almukhtar also explains how visiting a board-certified dermatologist for your cosmetic treatments can help you avoid a frozen, overdone look.

Hello, and welcome to Beauty and the Biz where we talk about the business and marketing side of plastic surgery, and being in a solo practice within a group practice. I'm your host, Catherine Maley, author of Your Aesthetic Practice – What your patients are saying, as well as consultant to plastic surgeons, to get them more patients, more profits and stellar reputations. Now, today's episode is called "Solo Practice Within Group Practice — with Sam Jejurikar, MD". Some surgeons dream of complete autonomy. They want to do whatever they feel like doing without having to answer to executive boards or other surgeons they work under.  They want to set their own hours, hire and fire staff and buy equipment if they feel like it.  They also want to make more money and assume they will in solo practice since they keep all of the profits and not just a percentage.  However, the flip side of that autonomy means they also get to handle their own books and inventory, while also marketing to attract cosmetic patients.  The business and marketing side of plastic surgery can be fun, daunting, uncertain and confusing.  So, is Solo or Group practice better? Here's a unique business model that allows you to run your solo practice as you want, but also enjoy the perks of being under the umbrella of a much bigger practice. Very interesting! This week's Beauty and the Biz Podcast was an interview I did with Sam Jejurikar, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon and a member of the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute that includes 10 surgeons, 4 ORs, 40 staff in a 45,000 square foot facility. We talked about their unique business model to buy into the practice but run as a solo practitioner and how they make decisions with so many surgeons involved. Visit Dr. Jejurikar's website P.S.

It turns out there's some truth to the adage “You are what you eat.” Replacing the foods we eat with healthier alternatives and removing processed foods can help detoxify the body and improve health. And perhaps the best part is, making healthier choices doesn't have to be hard or time-consuming. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and Scripps Clinic internist Mitch Biermann, MD, discuss how food can be used as medicine, the top healing foods, and how to structure your daily diet for the most bang for your caloric buck. Dr. Biermann also shares the top five foods that should be on everybody's grocery list.

Childhood obesity is a serious problem in the US. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 14.7 million kids and teens—roughly 20 percent—are obese, which can put their health at risk if left untreated. Childhood obesity has been linked to numerous health conditions, including high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea, and joint and back problems. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and Scripps Clinic pediatrician Ann MacQuarrie, MD, discuss the possible causes of the childhood obesity epidemic in America, factors that increase a child's likelihood of developing obesity, and what parents can do to help keep their child healthy. Dr. MacQuarrie also outlines what kids and teens can do to create healthy habits and take charge of their health.

Autism spectrum disorder affects 1 in 59 children in the US. Symptoms of the neurodevelopmental disorder develop in very early childhood and can include limited eye contact, not smiling, not responding to their name, and difficulty speaking. ASD is a lifelong condition and can also trigger issues with social interactions, communication, and behavior. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and Scripps Clinic pediatrician Megan Craig, MD, discuss autism spectrum disorder in children, how it's diagnosed, and treatment options. Dr. Craig also and debunks some common misconceptions about autism and outlines the importance of early intervention.

For minor health problems like muscle aches or slightly elevated blood pressure, lifestyle changes may be more beneficial than medication. Lifestyle changes, which can include adopting a healthier diet, getting regular exercise, and managing stress, may also have the power to prevent chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, before they start. In this episode of San Diego Health, host Susan Taylor and guest Kosha Nathwani, MD, a Scripps Clinic family medicine doctor, discuss how physicians use lifestyle medicine to improve patients' health and quality of life, and how meaningful and long-lasting changes can treat, reverse, and even prevent lifestyle-related diseases. Dr. Nathwani also outlines the roles of specialists and support personnel like dietitians, physical therapists, social workers, and mental health professionals, in a comprehensive lifestyle medicine team.

Eric Topol is a cardiologist, scientist, and author. Many twitter users will know Eric from his voice-of-reason tweets related to the covid pandemic. While Eric's exceptionally broad scientific work includes genetics and clinical trials, his main focus is on the ways in which artificial intelligence may change medicine as we know it. Creativity in this field, Eric explains, lies in exploring applications of AI that no one thought possible before, such as predicting the risk of heart disease from an image of the retina. In our conversation, Eric encourages any scientist to think big, to be counterintuitive, to go against the dogma. To find exciting new ideas, he suggests to think about how cool new tools could be used in ways that are not obvious – and then to test-market your crazy ideas by discussing them with experts in the relevant fields.Eric Topol is the founder and director of the Scripps Research Translational Institute, a professor of Molecular Medicine at the Scripps Research Institute, and a senior consultant at the Division of Cardiovascular Diseases at Scripps Clinic in San Diego.For more information on Night Science, visit https://www.biomedcentral.com/collections/night-science .

Welcome to The Sports Docs Podcast with Dr. Catherine Logan and Dr. Ashley Bassett. On each episode we chat about the most recent developments in sports medicine and dissect through all the noise so you know which literature should actually impact your practice.On today's episode we're focusing on cartilage defects of the knee with Dr. Clayton Nuelle, Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Missouri and team physician for Mizzou athletics. His current research focuses on improving cartilage restoration and joint preservation techniques, so we are very excited to have him join us for our discussion today.We have some great articles for you that contribute well to our conversation on the surgical treatment of knee cartilage disease.We start with a discussion of osteochondral lesions in the pediatric population. Will Bugbee and his team at Scripps Clinic in California authored a case series titled “Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation of the Knee in the Pediatric and Adolescent Population”. They reported 90% graft survivorship at 10 years post-op. Of the five grafts that failed, four successfully underwent a salvage surgery with another osteochondral allograft. 88% of knees were rated as good to excellent with an 89% satisfaction rate. The authors deemed OCA to be a safe and effective procedure for pediatric patients with large osteochondral defects.Then, from the December 2021 issue of Cartilage, we discuss the comprehensive review article by Andreas Gomoll and colleagues titled “Algorithm for Treatment of Focal Cartilage Defects of the Knee: Classic and New Procedures.” This paper nicely details a treatment approach based on cartilage lesion size, location and presence of underlying bone involvement. We finish up our conversation with a focus on rehab and returning to play after cartilage restoration procedures. The last article we reference is a systematic review published in AJSM 2009 titled “Return to Sports Participation After Articular Cartilage Repair in the Knee.” Kai Mithoefer et al reported an overall return to sports rate of 73%, with the highest return rates following OATS. Yet, the highest durability to continue playing at the preinjury level of play was following ACI at 96%. There were numerous factors that impacted an athletes ability to return to sport. Younger patients, those with pure cartilage lesions rather than osteochondral lesions, duration of symptoms less than 12 months pre-op, smaller lesions under 2 cm, lesion location at the lateral femoral condyle, no prior surgeries and no concomitant procedures were all associated with increased return to play.

In this episode we discuss low carb diets.  A simple Google search or jaunt through social media will show you that low carb diets are getting a lot of attention, both as an effective approach to weight loss and a means to maintain good overall health. But what does a low carb diet actually mean? What can you eat and what should you avoid? Are there risks involved? Who should avoid these diets? And are low carb diets sustainable for the long haul?  To answer these questions, we turned to an expert on low carb diets.  Dr Bret Scher is a board certified and licensed cardiologist.  He completed his undergraduate studies at Stanford University and earned his medical degree from Ohio State University.  He subsequently completed his residency training in internal medicine at Mercy Hospital in San Diego and a fellowship in cardiology at the Scripps Clinic. Aside from his busy private cardiology practice, Dr Scher is also the medical director of dietdoctor.com and hosts the Diet Doctor Podcast.
