Today we provide you with an update on the sexually transmitted infection: Trichomonas vaginalis, a protozoan which infects the vagina, urethra and paraurethral glands. It is an uncommon cause of vaginal discharge and penile urethritis and can persist for a long time if left untreated. Up to 50% of people with vaginal infections and especially people with urethral infections remain asymptomatic. Persistent trichomonas infection has been associated with facilitating the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and adverse poor reproductive health outcomes. Dr Christina Munzy, Professor in Infectious Diseases at University of Alabama, Birmingham, USA, will present on published clinical trial data on novel treatment against trichomoniasis.

Trichomoniasis is the most prevalent nonviral sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States and is more prevalent than chlamydia and gonorrhea combined. In the US, the southern states share a disproportionate burden of infection, with rates up to 14%. Infection with Trichomonas vaginalis increases risk of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition and is associated with adverse perinatal outcomes, including preterm birth, low birth weight, and preterm premature rupture of membranes. Although 80% of infections are asymptomatic, there are no national recommendations for trichomoniasis screening in women who are HIV-negative (including pregnant women who are HIV-negative), except for incarcerated women, where screening is recommended. Plus, there is also perpetual controversy surrounding whether asymptomatic trich should be treated in pregnancy or not. Why is that? Shouldn't we always treat STIs in pregnancy? The data is a bit confusing for asymptomatic trichomoniasis. We'll review the data in this episode and we will end with some practical advice for treatment of trich in pregnancy.

Songbirds Suffer Mystery Illness From The East Coast To The Midwest The reports started in late May: Songbirds in Washington, D.C. and neighboring regions were being found dead, often with swollen and crusty eyes. In the days that followed, similar sightings came from many states, including Kentucky, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. Now, the symptoms have been seen as far west as Indiana—but wildlife experts still aren't sure what's causing the deaths.  The illness has affected many species, including American robins, blue jays, common grackles, and European starlings. So far, investigators have found no signs of   salmonella and chlamydia; avian influenza virus; West Nile virus and other flaviviruses; Newcastle disease virus and other paramyxoviruses; herpesviruses and poxviruses; or Trichomonas parasites. But unfortunately, their tests have been inconclusive as to the actual cause. Experts are asking people in the affected areas to be on the lookout for birds with crusty eyes or behaving strangely—and in an effort at avian social distancing, they're suggesting removing bird feeders until the cause of the ‘mortality event' is known.  Ira talks with Allisyn Gillet, state ornithologist for Indiana, and Lisa Murphy, a toxicologist and co-director of the Wildlife Futures Program at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, about what's known so far about the illness, and about what steps investigators are taking to try to solve the medical mystery.  If you find a bird exhibiting these symptoms, researchers encourage you to report it to the Wildlife Futures Program at the University of Pennsylvania.     Sweating Is Our Biological Superpower Sweat may feel like a constant summer companion, whether or not you exercise frequently. Being damp can feel uncomfortable, but the smells that follow—thanks to the lives and deaths of sweat-munching bacteria—are often socially stigmatized as well. (Deodorant itself is actually a very recent invention!) But sweat isn't just a cosmetic embarrassment: It's crucial to keeping us cool, as the evaporating liquid pulls heat energy from our bodies. If you look at animals that don't sweat, many have evolved alternate adaptations like peeing or even pooping on body parts to achieve that vital evaporative effect. People who are born unable to sweat run a constant risk of heatstroke. Ira talks to Sarah Everts, author of the new book, The Joy Of Sweat, about what makes sweat useful, the cool chemistry of this bodily fluid, and why it's our evolutionary superpower.      Betelgeuse's False Supernova Alarm The famous red giant star, Betelgeuse, sits on the left shoulder of the constellation Orion. It's one of the brightest stars in the night sky, distinguishable by its faint red hue.  In December 2019, the star suddenly dimmed to about a third of its usual brightness. Scientists called this the ‘Great Dimming.' And there was some speculation in the news that the dimming meant Betelgeuse was about to explode in a giant supernova. But within months, Betelgeuse quietly returned to its original brightness, leaving astronomers perplexed. Now, nearly two years after the initial dimming, a study recently published in Nature proposed a theory for Betelgeuse's Great Dimming. Supernova expert Sarafina Nance joins Ira to talk about Betelgeuse, give an outside perspective on the new Nature study, and discuss her science communication work.

This episode covers trichomonas vaginalis!

When something is off is all about vaginitis, or the inflammation of the vagina. We are talking about the three most common forms of vaginitis; bacterial vaginosis, yeast infections, and trichomonas. By the end of the episode you will have a better idea of the different types of vaginal discharge these conditions cause. This is our second episode in our series about infections of the genital tract.

Episode 7 - Suboxone: One Film at a TimeThe sun rises over the San Joaquin Valley, California. Today is April 15, 2020. Viral diseases anyone? The American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) recommended HPV vaccination for clinicians routinely exposed to HPV. This recommendation encompasses the complete provider team, including physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, residents, and fellows, and others in the fields of OB/GYN, family practice, gyn-onc, and dermatology. While there is limited data on occupational HPV exposure, ASCCP, recommends that members actively protect themselves against the risks(1).  This recommendation on HPV vaccination for health care workers was published on February 19, 2020. We thought it would be pertinent to remind you about the viral infections that we CAN prevent, since there are some viruses for which we do NOT have a vaccine yet.  Welcome to Rio Bravo qWeek, the podcast of the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program, recorded weekly from Bakersfield, California, the land where growing never stopsThe Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program trains residents and students to prevent illnesses and bring health and hope to our community. Our mission: To Seek, Teach and Serve. Sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Providing compassionate and affordable care to patients throughout Kern and Fresno counties since 1971. Quote: “Improvement begins with I.” – Arnold H. GlasowImprovement is a never-ending process, and we must remind ourselves who needs to improve first? It’s normally us. That’s why “improvement begins with I”, I think that was a brilliant quote. Today our guest is Golriz Asefi. She is a smart, compassionate, dynamic PGY1 who is excited to talk to us after her community medicine rotation. She told me she enjoyed a lot working with Dr Beare, our street medicine doctor, whom I hope can be our guest in this podcast one day. Welcome, Dr Asefi. As you know we will ask you 5 questions. Let’s start with our first question number 1. 1. Who are you?I’m Dr Golriz Asefi, I’m a PGY1 here at Rio Bravo family medicine residency program. I grew up in the Bay Area (California). I went to UC Berkeley and then to Ross University School of Medicine. I picked our residency program because I was very interested in community medicine and helping the underserved. On my “spare time” I like to take long walks by the beach and go hiking with my friends. I also have a newly found love for yoga and barr method. 2. What did you learn this week?This week I learned about suboxone. Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine (a partial opioid agonist) and naloxone (an opioid antagonist). It is used in the treatment of opioid use disorder along with counseling and other behavioral therapy. Suboxone is a class III controlled substance in the form of sublingual pill, sublingual film or buccal film.Comment: Suboxone is part of the Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) of opioids. It is the use of medications, in combination with counseling and behavioral therapies, to provide a “whole-patient” approach to the treatment of substance use disorders. These medications operate to normalize brain chemistry, block the euphoric effects of opioids, relieve physiological cravings, and normalize body functions without the negative effects of the abused drug.Suboxone is a combined medication. Why do we have both an agonist and antagonist in the same dose you might ask? Well it’s to prevent abuse, you see naloxone when taken sublingually as directed is minimally absorbed, whereas when injected, it is a strong blocker of the opioid receptor. So, you can get the antagonistic effect of naloxone. When taken sublingually naloxone is poorly absorbed, therefore patients experience less withdrawal symptoms. The “Ceiling effect”Buprenorphine exhibits what’s called a “ceiling effect”, which occurs because suboxone partially stimulates opioid receptors even when saturated. Even exponentially increasing the dose only achieves limited additional effect– similar to approaching an asymptote - remember those hyperbolas and parabola in high school geometry? Basically, never reach full effect.  Therefore, it has a lower chance of abuse and accidental overdose. Suboxone vs MethadoneMethadone is full opioid agonist. It is a PO liquid administered through methadone clinics to which patients must go to everyday, and get the medication. Take-home privileges can be eventually earned for methadone.  Suboxone has lower chances of overdose because it is a partial agonist, however, dropout rates are higher. Suboxone can be prescribed to be taken at home, so it is more convenient(2).Candidates for suboxone Opiate users who are motivated for treatment and are willing to adhere to scheduled visits and treatment.  They should understand the indications, risks, benefits, and alternatives. Ideally, they should not be on other CNS depressants, such as alcohol and benzos, however, suboxone is preferable over methadone for people who use CNS depressants or are at higher risk of respiratory failure. Suboxone can also be used during pregnancy.Contraindications to suboxone:-Severe liver impairment.-Conditions that already increases risk of respiratory depression such as head injuries or taking CNS depressants such as benzodiazepines or alcohol. Mixing large amounts of other medications with buprenorphine can lead to overdose or death(2).Required Training to Prescribe SuboxonePrescription is regulated by the DATA (Drug Addiction Treatment Act of 2000), you need to complete a MAT (medication assisted treatment) training which is currently available free of cost. To qualify as an MD, you need to have an active medical license and DEA license. The training takes about 8 hrs for MDs, 24hrs for NPs, CNMs, and PAs. You can take the training at anytime, even as a resident, and save the certificate until you receive your MD license and DEA license. The training is 100% online, you can print your certificate and apply for an X-license to prescribe suboxone. The information is found online at PCSSNOW.ORG (Providers Clinical Support System)(3)3. Why is this knowledge important for you and your patients?Suboxone is underutilized by primary care providers. Opioid use disorder leads to a lot of socioeconomic problems, such as increased rates of suicide, accidental overdose, HIV, HepC, marital problems, and unemployment. About 46,000 people died of opiate related deaths in 2018, steadily rising from 21,000 in 2010. Of that, 18,000 was due to prescription opioids(4). Luckily, treatment of the disorder decreases all of the above. MAT has shown to improve mortality due to opioid overdose, increase retention in treatment, decrease illicit opiate use and other criminal activity, increase patient’s ability to gain and maintain employment, improve birth outcomes in pregnant women with substance use disorder, lower risk of contracting HIV and HepC. You can see, Dr Arreaza, you can make a big impact in your patients if you get this training, you will change lives and whole communities by providing this life-changing treatment. Comment: This is something I learned recently. Having a substance use disorder reprograms your brain, it is like being thirsty and not finding water to drink. So when we tell our patients, “Just stop taking Norco”, it is similar to tell them, “Just stop drinking water.” We have to develop empathy to some of the most neglected patients in our society. Not many people are helping these patients! And many of them also have mental illness, as many as 30-60%, depending on the source you read. So, it’s a good idea to get trained to help this vulnerable population.4. How did you get this knowledge?I was working with Dr. Beare during my community medicine rotation. I really enjoyed learning about suboxone and seeing how rewarding this experience was between him and his patients. This made me want to do more research and present this topic to my colleagues. As Dr. Beare likes to say: “Treating addiction is like treating any other complex chronic disease. There is no such thing as quick fix.” We as physicians need to listen to our patients, to care and to treat this difficult condition.5. Where did this knowledge come from?-SAMHSA – substance abuse and medical health service administration, The National Institutes of Health, an Up to Date article, and other articles. See details below.______________________Speaking Medicalby Lisa Manzanares The medical word of the day is leukorrhea.  It is the flow of whitish, yellowish, or greenish discharge from the vagina. Leukorrhea can be normal, or it can be a sign of infection. Leukorrhea commonly occurs during pregnancy, and is normal if the discharge is thin, white, and odorless. Physiologic leukorrhea is a normal condition occurring within several months to 1 year of onset of menses in adolescent girls.  Leukorrhea that is not normal can be caused by bacteria: bacterial vaginosis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, or postpartum endometritis. Fungal causes include candida species. Parasites can cause it, too: specifically, Trichomonas vaginalis.So, when your patient complains of vaginal discharge, be sure to sound smart in your notes and document that the patient has leukorrhea._________________________Espanish Por Favor (Spanish Word of the Day) by Claudia CarranzaHi this is Dr Carranza on our section Espanish por favor. The Spanish word for this week is rodilla. What comes to your mind when you hear the word rodilla? Does it sound to you like a popular Mexican food? Well, rodilla has nothing to do with quesadilla. Rodilla is a large joint in our body that may wear off over time and gets injured easily. Yes, you guessed it, rodilla means knee. This word comes from the Latin root “rota” or “rueda” which means round or wheel. Patients may come to you with the complaint: “Doctor, me duelen las rodillas” or “Doctor, tengo la rodilla hinchada” which means: “Doctor, my knees hurt” or “Doctor, my knee is swollen”. Most likely the patient will point at one or both of their knees which will guide your assessment. Now you know the Spanish word of the day, rodilla. Have a great week and take care!     __________________________________________For your Sanity (Medical joke of the day)by Golriz Asefi and Lisa ManzanaresThe Expensive DentistPatient: Doctor, how much to have this tooth pulled?Dentist: $100.00. Patient: What? $100.00 for just a few minutes of work? Dentist: Well, I can extract it very slowly if you like.The Invisible PatientClerk: Doctor, there's a man on line 1 who thinks he's invisible.Doctor: Well, tell him we can't see him right now.__________________________________________Conclusion: During this episode, we had a glimpse of the Medication Assisted Treatment for Opioid Use Disorder. Suboxone can be the answer to many patients who are desperately looking for help to overcome their addictions. Suboxone can make a difference, one film at a time. We also were reminded of another way to say vaginal discharge, leukorrhea; and learned how to say knee in Spanish, rodilla. May you continue to enjoy your training and stay safe. See you next week!   This is the end of Rio Bravo qWeek. We say good bye from Bakersfield, a special place in the beautiful Central Valley of California, United States, a land where growing is happening everywhere.If you have any feedback about this podcast, contact us by email RBresidency@clinicasierravista.org, or by visiting our website riobravofmrp.org/qweek.

(Repost - Original posting on August 27, 2012) Every issue of The PreMedLife Magazine features a hard working student who's Pre Med game is on point.  In this episode of the podcast we talk with one of the most recent students to be nominated and has all the attributes that are needed to be in the Student Spotlight.  Make sure to check out https://www.premedlife.com/ to find out more info on the Student Spotlight as well as an incredible amount of useful information geared towards pre med students! Medical Term of the Day: Trichinosis Vs Trichomonas Trichinosis and Trichomonas are two diseases that may sound similar and it it could be problematic if you mix the two up.  One comes from pork and the other comes from pork-ing and if you are a crappy speller like I am, associating TrichoMOANas with pork-ing, may help you from mixing up the two.  Here is what you need to know... Trichomonas: An STD caused by a parasite      ~ One of the most common curable STDs      ~ 70% of the people with this disease have no symptoms      ~ More common in women then men Trichinosis: A parasitic disease acquired from eating raw/undercooked pork      ~ Pig MUST have parasite for transmission to occur      ~ Parasite can burrow into human flesh/muscle/brain to lay eggs      ~ Once eggs hatch they calcify and the body can't reabsorb them      ~ Can be treated with meds (Mintezol and Vermox)   While you are checking out Dr. Gray's podcast in iTunes, don't forget to subscribe to The Lost In PreMed Podcast, leave a comment or review about what you think of the episode!
