Shingles Vaccine and Illness- Senator Feinstein Lots of confusion around Shingles and shingles vaccine Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox, so if you had chicken pox as a child you are at risk This virus lives dormant in individuals following an infection and stays in check with a good immune system When individuals are stressed or immunocompromised the virus begins to spread and cause symptoms The rash will stay on one side of the body and it tracks along a nerve, looking like a stripe, a single stripe The rash is very painful, and unfortunately the pain can last for weeks to months in many people Shingles is not contagious, meaning you can't get shingles however you can get chicken pox if you are exposed to an individual with the rash. This is often diagnosed before the rash begins based on the description of the pain and location No actual treatment for shingles Shingles Vaccine The new shingles vaccine is very effective over 90%- Shingrix Medicare part D covers the cost of the vaccine starting this year Anyone over the age of 50 should consider getting this vaccine 99% of those born before 1980 had Chicken Pox even if they do not remember having it The vaccine comes in 2 shots- they are given 2-6 months apart Currently it is felt a booster beyond the 2 shots is not needed People will get a sore arm that may stay for a few days Other side effects include headache, fever, stomach pain and nausea but this is in smaller numbers The second vaccine will often give slightly worse side effects  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 109: Shingles vaccine before 50 Prabhjot and Dr. Arreaza discuss the indications and contraindications of the zoster recombinant vaccine (Shingrix®). Shingrix is now FDA-approved to be used in people younger than 50 years old. Magic mushroom as a therapy for alcohol use disorder. Introduction: “Magic mushroom” as a potential treatment for alcohol addiction By Hector Arreaza, MD. Addiction is one of the biggest challenges in medicine. Patients with addictions are at risk of adverse events or even death from overdose but also are at risk of withdrawal when trying to quit. As medical providers, our goal is to assist our patients to stop using substances that may be toxic and cause detrimental effects on their health in the short and long term. It is not easy to help patients overcome the discomfort, cravings, and even life-threatening symptoms that result from withdrawal. Out of the many addictions, alcohol use disorder is one of the most destructive addictions, and the harms from it go beyond the personal effects, as it affects families, communities, and the whole nation. It is a serious public health issue. It is estimated that 15 million people (12 and older) in the US have alcohol use disorder, and about 140,000 people die every year from alcohol-related causes. Many patients would like to stop drinking, but the withdrawal symptoms may be more than just discomfort and may become unbearable and even fatal. Today I want to share the news published on August 24, 2022, on JAMA and many news outlets regarding the potential use of Psylocibin as an adjunct therapy to quit drinking alcohol. This was a double-blind randomized clinical trial that compared Psylocibin with diphenhydramine. Psilocybin is also known as “magic mushroom”. Participants were offered 12 weeks of psychotherapy and were randomly assigned to receive psilocybin vs. diphenhydramine during 2-day-long medication sessions at weeks 4 and 8. There were 93 participants. The percentage of heavy drinking days during a 32-week period after the first dose of medication was 9.7% for the psilocybin group and 23.6% for the diphenhydramine group. So, patients in the Psylocibin group had decreased heavy drinking, and the mean alcohol consumption was also lower. Blinding was an issue during the study because many participants could guess which medication they were receiving. Some participants described “flying over landscapes, seeing [their] late father and merging telepathically with historical figures.” The bottom line of the study is that administration of Psilocybin in combination with psychotherapy produced a significant reduction in the percentage of heavy drinking days over and above those produced by active placebo and psychotherapy. These are exciting news for those who are trying to quit alcohol, and it provides a foundation for additional research on psilocybin-assisted treatment for AUD.

By Prabhjot Kaur, MS4, Ross University School of Medicine. 1. What is Shingrix? It's a recombinant zoster vaccine to protect against Herpes Zoster (Shingles) in adults over 50 years old. 2. What is Herpes Zoster? Prabhjot: It's a viral infection that is caused by the Varicella-Zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox. Chickenpox, also called varicella, can happen in children and adults. After a person is infected with chickenpox, the virus remains dormant in the dorsal root ganglia, which are the clusters of neurons along the spinal column. As the person grows older, or his or her immunity decreases due to conditions such as an infection, malignancy, or pregnancy, the dormant virus becomes reactivated. Prabhjot: When the virus reactivates in adults, it presents with a painful, blistering, itchy rash over the specific dermatomes. The rash mostly occurs on the torso, face, or upper extremities, and it is usually only on one side of the body. Arreaza: A common belief in the Latino culture (since our audience sees a lot of patients of Latino descent) is that if the rash crosses the midline of your body and it makes a circle around your chest, you will die. If you, as a doctor, get that question from a patient, the answer is: herpes zoster normally affects the root ganglia on one side of the body. If your patient has bilateral herpes zoster, you must rule out immunodeficiency. The rash may be preceded or followed by pain, burning, numbing, or tingling of the skin. Some patients might even have fevers, chills, fatigue, and photosensitivity. One of the most common complications of shingles is postherpetic neuralgia, which is a long-lasting pain after the blisters and rash have resolved. 3. What is the role of the vaccine? Prabhjot: Shingrix® can reduce the risk of shingles and its complications, such as postherpetic neuralgia. Shingrix is recommended for everyone over 50, even if they have already had shingles, received Zostavax® (discontinued in 2019), or received the varicella vaccine. Arreaza: Good point. Let´s talk a little bit about varicella in adults. Patients who have received the varicella vaccine as a child can still receive Shingrix. Let's remember the chickenpox vaccine (varicella vaccine) became available in the United States in 1995. Normally, a serology test for varicella is not required for people to receive the varicella vaccine as adults, except in certain patients who are planning immunosuppression in the near future. In such cases, if varicella immunity is not reactive, they should be vaccinated against varicella (live attenuated virus) if the immunosuppression can be delayed. Prabhjot: What if the patient is already immunosuppressed? Arreaza: If the patient is already immunosuppressed, the decision is not simple. The varicella vaccine is contraindicated, but some clinicians may recommend Shingrix for the potential protection against primary varicella. Post-exposure prophylaxis with antiviral therapy or immunoglobulin in case of exposure is possible. 4. How is Shingrix given? Prabhjot: Shingrix is given in 2 doses, and each dose is given 2-6 months apart. Its immunity stays strong for at least 7 years. Like most vaccines, the most common side effects of the Shingrix vaccine are redness, tenderness, swelling, and discomfort at the vaccine site. Shingrix is deemed to be safe for most people over 50 but not given to pregnant women, people with active shingles, and or with a severe allergy to the vaccine. Arreaza: Shingrix is generally avoided in patients with a known history of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) due to a probable association between Shingrix and GBS. This association was not seen with Zostavax, so in case of history of GBS, Zostavax is an option. 5. Effectiveness. Prabhjot: As for its effectiveness, according to the CDC, Shingrix is 97% effective in preventing shingles in adults 50 to 69 and 91% in adults older than 70. If one is immunosuppressed and has a weakened immune system, the vaccine was effective, ranging between 69%-91% in preventing shingles. 6. New update: Prabhjot: New updates have been made to expand the vaccination of the population under 50 as well. On July 23, 2021, the FDA approved the vaccination for adults over the age of 18 who are at an increased risk or will be in the future due to immunodeficiency or immunosuppression. Such immunodeficiency could be secondary to a disease, malignancy, or therapy such as chemotherapy. Just like the prior recommendation, it is recommended for these individuals to receive two doses of Shingrix for the prevention of shingles and its complications. However, the interval between the two doses can be shortened from the recommended 2-6 months to 1-2 months if the person will be going through intense immunosuppression in the upcoming months. This shortened interval will prevent vaccination during an intense immunosuppressed state. The second dose must not be given before one month. 7. When to get vaccinated? Prabhjot: Ideally, one should get vaccinated before starting immunosuppressing therapy; if this cannot be possible, then one should aim for vaccination when their immune response is likely to be the strongest. For example, if it's an immunity-changing disease such as malignancy, the vaccine would be ideal in the beginning stages, and if a person will receive chemotherapy, it would be ideal to vaccinate before starting chemo. 8. Few recommendations from CDC: For Hematopoietic cell transplant: Administer Shingrix at least 3-12 months after transplantation. It is important to consider the vaccine is recommended 2 months before the prophylactic antiviral therapy is discontinued. Since the prophylactic antiviral therapy is also protecting against shingles, the vaccine is preferred to be injected while the antiviral therapy is going on. Arreaza: For allogeneic HCT (when donor is another person), Shingrix should be given a little bit later, 6-12 months after transplant, prior to discontinuation of antiviral therapy. Acyclovir, famciclovir, and valacyclovir will not neutralize the effectiveness of Shingrix because the vaccine is not a live virus vaccine. For cancers: It is ideal to administer Shingrix before chemo, immunosuppressive medications, radiation, or splenectomy. If that is not possible for some reason, administer the vaccine when the patient is stable and not acutely suppressed. For patients on long-term immunosuppressive therapies, administer the vaccine when the immune response is most likely the strongest or right before starting the next cycle of therapy. For patients with HIV: Prabhjot: Shingrix is recommended for patients with HIV due to the high risk of shingles. Immune response to the vaccine may be improved while the patient is on antiretroviral treatment. Bottom line: Shingrix is now recommended not only for those over 50 years old but also for those who are 18 and older and are immunosuppressed or will be on immunosuppressive therapy. This new change will benefit those who are receiving treatment and those who are awaiting treatment. Keep in mind to use the vaccine to prevent shingles and its complications. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Conclusion: Now we conclude our episode number 109, “Shingles vaccine before 50.” We are used to giving Shingrix to patients older than 50, but we were reminded today that it is also indicated in patients older than 18 who are or will be immunosuppressed. Shingrix should be given in 2 doses 2-6 months apart. Your patients may not notice it, but by giving this vaccine, you are PREVENTING a painful rash that can have long-term effects.

Thursday July 15. *edited. Likely abbreviated due to migraine with halo. My father would have been 71 today.  He wasn't just my dad, he was one of my favorite people on this earth. This is one of the many episodes I will discuss the person I credit with teaching many lessons about kindness, love, standing up for others, and to find peace in an otherwise difficult life.  Early in life, he taught me how to use telepathy and how to project images.   He chose to live a life working in construction despite years of college and a degree in computer programming in 1977. He was unable to sit still. He loved life and loved people. Vibrant, fun, and a massive Beatles and Pink Floyd fan.  Life was always about music. He spent the last 20 or so years of his life in chronic pain and with an invisible debilitating illness. He developed a chronic fatigue no doctor would try to figure out.  He was labelled psychosomatic and given "standard medical treatment" despite a family history of adverse reactions to them.  He overcame a dependency on fentanyl to run five miles at a time at age 60 and live unmedicated, only to spiral downward after his first hepatitis b shot months later - as a requirement for a new job along with the TDaP, Hep A, etc...  As he continued to have unnecessary, yet standard "care", his health deteriorated until he had his shingles shot, then a few weeks later, a pneumonia shot - and then a sudden death. His story is one of perserverence, dedication, patience, and love. We'll discuss the predatory procedures for ages 65+, signs of heart issues in both women and men, various genetic issues and how they should be navigated.  The guests are not certain for today, some are difficult to locate and others have had last minute cancellations.  7-15-1950 - 12-16-2015.

Dermatology residents must be knowledgeable about dermatologic conditions presenting in patients of various ethnic backgrounds. Dr. Vincent DeLeo talks to Drs. Abigail Cline, Susan Taylor, and Amy McMichael about improving and expanding multiethnic training in dermatology residency. “Now that I’m in residency, it has become very clear how different presentations in skin of color can be, and I can really see the importance of proper training in a racially diverse population,” says Dr. Cline. They discuss ways to ensure that dermatology trainees get adequate exposure to conditions affecting ethnic skin and highlight the role of the Skin of Color Society in reducing racial disparities within the specialty. *  *  * This week in Dermatology News: 1.

About 1/3 of older Americans receive shingles vaccine Original story: https://bit.ly/2Cyz9rY CDC report: https://bit.ly/2WmhOJK  *  *  * Key takeaways from this episode: There is a lack of minority representation in dermatology educational materials such as textbook photographs, which often are heavily skewed toward lighter skin types. Results from a recent survey revealed that dermatology residents in the Midwest and Northwest were not seeing a diverse patient population: “[Residents] in the Northeast, Southeast, and Southwest tended to see more diverse patients, and so they didn’t feel the need for continued lectures or skin of color clinics, but the respondents within the Midwest and the Northwest really wanted to see these patients and really wanted to see what these dermatoses look like in skin of color,” Dr. Cline explains.  To ensure dermatology trainees get adequate exposure to diverse populations, home programs can allow residents to travel and rotate to other programs where they can get firsthand experience diagnosing skin of color patients. The Skin of Color Society aims to reduce racial disparities in dermatology through a variety of programs, including its annual scientific symposium, mentorship program, and research grants. Skin of color centers throughout the United States allow dermatology residents to rotate through and work with large numbers of skin of color patients. “[They also provide] an opportunity for trainees to see patients who are very satisfied with race-concordant visits—that is, the patient and the provider are of the same racial group—so they can observe what goes into making that type of interaction very successful and rewarding for the patient,” says Dr. Taylor. Practicing dermatologists can make a positive impact by mentoring high school, college, or medical students who do not have social capital as well as contributing a gift to societies with mentorship programs that provide opportunities for residents. Dermatologists can create diversity within their own practices to improve patient access to care. “You can be great at what you do, you can be a fantastic dermatologist but still not be culturally competent, so looking at what that really means—how to understand populations that are different from you culturally, how to look at perhaps having individuals in your practice that can make those patients more comfortable . . . whether they may be your nurses or your intake people . . . just sort of looking around and seeing how you can diversify your own space so that when others come they feel like you know what you’re talking about, and I think that’s really the goal overall,” explains Dr. McMichael.    Hosts: Nick Andrews; Vincent A.

Hey Medicare Nation! Learn More About Medicare Here I receive many questions from clients and listeners about Medicare.  A question that is quite common is: "What vaccinations are covered under Medicare?" That's what this week's episode is all about.... vaccinations! There are currently three vaccinations that are covered under preventative and screening services under Medicare: 1. Flu Shot 2. Hepatitis Shot 3. Pneumococcal Vaccine   Flu Shot If you are enrolled in Medicare Part B, you can receive a Flu Shot from your doctor or other qualified health provider, who accepts Medicare assignment for administering the flu shot.  The cost for the Flu Shot under this scenario is $0 out-of-pocket for you. If your doctor or other healthcare provider does not accept Medicare assignment, your out-of-pocket cost be up to 100% of the cost of the Flu shot. Ensure your doctor or healthcare physician is contracted with Medicare before receiving treatment. For more information on the Flu, I'm sending you to this website: www.Flu.gov   Hepatitis B The Hepatitis B shot is available to individuals who are enrolled in Medicare Part B, have a doctor or other qualified health provider, who accepts Medicare assignment and you are at a "Medium" or "High" Risk to contract Hepatitis B. What indicates a Medium or High Risk? Well....there are many answers, but if you have certain diseases like hemophilia, ESRD (End Stage Renal Failure), Diabetes or other conditions that lower your resistance to infection are some good examples. If you have any questions regarding your eligibility for the Hepatitis B shot, ask your doctor. Since the Hepatitis B shot is covered under the Preventative and Screening Services of Medicare, there is $0 out-of-pocket cost to you. To learn more about Hepatitis B, I'm giving you the link to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Learn More About Hepatitis B   Pneumococcal Shot You are entitled to a Pneumococcal Shot if your doctor believes you need one, he or she is a qualified health provider, who accepts Medicare assignment and you are enrolled in Medicare Part B. There is also a second, different Pneumococcal shot that is administered one year after the first shot is given. Medicare Part B will cover this additional shot if your doctor says you need the two shots. You should always discuss your options and your concerns with your primary doctor. Here is the link to the CDC website on additional information about pneumococcal vaccinations: Learn More About Pneumococcal Vaccinations   Additional Vaccinations and Shots Available Other commercially administered vaccinations are available under Medicare Part "D" Tetanus, Diptheria and Pertussis (Whooping Cough) are examples of Part D coverage. A "Booster" shot, given to adults, adolescents and children is available as Tdap. Depending on what type of Prescription Drug Plan you are on, will depend on your out-of-pocket cost. You should contact your Medicare Insurance Carrier customer service department to request such information.   Shingles The Shingles Vaccine (Herpes Zoster) is also available under Part "D" of Medicare. The Shingles Vaccine out-of-pocket costs will vary by plan. You must contact your Medicare Plan Carrier's customer service department to determine your out-of-pocket cost for the Shingles Vaccine.  If you are not enrolled in Medicare Part D, you may have to pay up to 100% of the cost for the Shingles Vaccine. Here is the link to the CDC website for information on Shingles. Learn More about Shingles I also did an ENTIRE EPISODE ON SHINGLES!

Welcome Medicare Nation! Today we’re talking about Shingles. I recently had shingles and my eyes were opened to how painful it is. It’s really a terribly painful illness, so I wanted to give you some facts and tips to help you diagnose your symptoms early.         What is Shingles?   A virus that is a type of herpes zoster virus. You can only get shingles if you’ve had chicken pox. The virus stays dormant in your spine and attach itself to some of the nerves in your spine. Then something comes along and activates it when you have a lower immune system. If you are on auto-immune suppressing drugs, you are more susceptible to the virus.   Increased stress can also trigger an outbreak of shingles.       What are the symptoms?   A blistery rash that generally starts around your back and wraps around your side. I got a blister on the palm of my hand. About a week before the outbreak, you can begin having pain from the nerve endings being affected.    Patches of blisters will grow and then they are painful. You can have headaches and other pain that goes along with it.   The virus starts coming down your nerve path and it becomes extremely painful. The pain is similar to neuropathy pain.       Treatment?   Because I sought treatment within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms, I was able to take an anti-viral medication. This caused the pain to being to lessen over the next few days.   Anti-Viral medications   Acyclavir Valacyclavir     Lidocaine can be given to block the pain. Advil.,Motrin will also be given to lessen pain.       Anybody can get shingles. More likely to occur in older folks because the immune system is naturally weaker.   50% of people over the age of 60 to get shingles.     Shingles is contagious. It is contagious when the blisters are broken open and oozing. Direct contact with open blisters should be avoided.   Shingles Vaccine - given to people 60 and over - Zostavax. There is a 51% chance of not getting the virus when you get the vaccine.    Who should NOT get the vaccine? -People with allergies to gelatin If you are allergies to neomycin If you have a weekend immune system from AIDS or other illness If you have leukemia or lymphoma If you are pregnant    Info about Shingles Vaccine:    Medicare Advantage plans will require a co-pay. Find out what it costs with your plan by calling customer service with you plan.   Original Medicare - you will pay 20%   Medigap - you won’t pay anything     There is no season for shingles. Anyone can get it at any time.   You can find out more about shingles here.   Do you have questions or feedback? I’d love to hear it!
