In early June, Dr. Alina Chan published an essay in The New York Times arguing what the media once considered a conspiracy: Covid-19 originated in the Wuhan lab. The essay made waves on social media. To some, it was a breath of fresh air from the intelligentsia that validated long-held beliefs about where the costliest pandemic in modern history started. But to others, like our other guest today, it was irresponsible and scientifically misleading. Dr. John Moore is a prominent virologist and professor at Cornell University's Weill Medical College. He penned a rebuttal for “The Nation” in which he argued that The New York Times is badly failing their readers on Covid by publishing Chan's argument. Chan is not a virologist; she's a molecular biologist at Harvard and MIT's Broad Institute. Early on in the pandemic, however, she took an interest in understanding the origins of Covid. She then published a book about lab leak that she claims drew the ire of the media and scientific establishment. In this episode of We The 66, we share BOTH of their perspectives.

Dr. John is board-certified in Family Medicine by the American Board of Family Physicians and is also a certified physician in his home country with the Medical Board of Trinidad and Tobago. After working in New York for a few years, Dr. John decided to return to Trinidad in 1994 to contribute to his homeland. During his earlier years in Trinidad, his involvement as a faculty member in the Lutheran US-Caribbean HIV/AIDS Twinning Initiative, contributed to the success of this program. Dr. John volunteered as a medical professional at the Cyril Ross Nursery, a home and treatment center for HIV-infected babies who were neglected and abandoned by their parents. His focus at the Nursery was pain control and other comfort care, and he worked alongside fellow Trinidadian and Ms. Universe of 1998, Wendy Fitzwilliam, to bring anti-retroviral treatment to the children.

In this episode of the Brawn Body Health and Fitness Podcast, Dan is joined by Dr. Gregory DiFelice to discuss his preservation method and the case for ACL repair instead of reconstruction. Dr. Gregory S. DiFelice is a fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeon specializing in Sports Traumatology and Joint Reconstruction Surgery at Hospital for Special Surgery and New York-Presbyterian Hospital. He also holds an academic appointment at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University as an Associate Attending Orthopedic Surgeon. His main surgical focus is on the treatment of the knee, shoulder, and hip. Using both non-surgical and surgical methods, he strives to utilize the latest technologies to improve patient outcomes, while preserving their native tissues. He refers to his customized approach as Preservation First, and this guides his practice. His philosophy, developed over 20+ years in practice, is to use surgery as a last resort, and if surgery is absolutely necessary, to perform the most conservative surgery that will give the best, most long-lasting results for the patient. This delicate balancing of the risks and benefits of surgery for each individual is, in essence, the art of surgery. Dr. DiFelice is a surgical innovator and has developed several cutting-edge surgical techniques that allow him to save a patients' torn ligaments, rather than replacing them, which is the current standard of care. His approach is called ligament preservation and includes conservative, minimally invasive techniques such as primary repair and primary repair with augmentation. By saving the patients' native ligament tissues, he greatly reduces surgical injury to the patient, and thus diminishes the recovery time and restores more of the natural function of the knee. Currently, for 50% to 75% of his ACL injured patients, he is able to save most, if not all, of the patients' native tissue, thereby diminishing the need for grafts. He uses ACL reconstruction – the replacing of the torn ligament with a graft, which is considered the standard of care throughout the world – only as a last resort when there is little or no native tissue available to save. As the surgical innovator of his modern-day preservation approach, he has published and lectured extensively, both domestically and internationally, on this and other topics.

NIAW-Double Episode Week!   As we enter National Infertility Awareness week, we are grateful to share the wisdom of two wonderful guests, Elizabeth Grill, PsyD who is incoming Chair of RESOLVE, the national infertility organization, and Barb Collura, RESOLVE's President and CEO.   In this episode (1 of 2), we meet with Elizabeth Grill, PsyD.  She is the Director of Psychological Services at the Ronald O. Perelman and Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine and is Associate Professor of Psychology in the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Reproductive Medicine, and Psychiatry at Weill Medical College of Cornell University.  She is experienced as a counseling psychologist and medical researcher with a special focus on the emotional aspects of infertility, IVF treatment, third party reproduction, oncofertility, fertility preservation, sexual dysfunction, and stress and infertility. She is the President for the Society for Sex Therapy and Research and Secretary and Chair for RESOLVE, the National Infertility Association. Dr. Grill is also the co-owner of FertiCalm and FertiStrong, the first digital apps developed to treat the daily stressors faced by individuals and couples experiencing infertility, using research proven modalities.   In this episode, Dr. Grill and I discuss the transition from infertility to donor conception, the shame faced by so many who use donor conception, the differences between men and women using donor conception, isolation and how to treat it and more. We address many of the issues that are at the heart of what can make using donor conception to build your family so stressful.   Take these words of wisdom to heart, replay when you need a reminder you are not alone and join RESOLVE, if you haven't already.

It was more than 13 years ago that a veterinarian introduced Dr. Gregory Lutz to platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Dr. Lutz had a lame horse suffering from a tendon injury. With the help of a portable ultrasound, the veterinary physician drew the horse's blood, spun it in a centrifuge, and injected it into the tendon, right there in the stall. Within a few weeks, the horse was running around like a pony. That inspired Dr. Lutz to research this treatment for his own patients. With more than 30 years of clinical experience under his belt, Dr. Lutz has proven himself to be a driving force in today's regenerative medicine movement. He has co-authored more than 60 scientific publications on the topic of PRP and continues to research the power of this treatment to improve outcomes.“We have to share research, speak openly about our findings, report the good and the bad and the ugly, so that people are aware of the risks, and see if we can keep moving this forward,” says Dr. Lutz. “It's been a very exciting journey to finally find something that I think has staying power.” In this episode of Back Talk Doc, host Dr. Sanjiv Lakhia and Dr. Lutz discuss PRP treatments for low back pain and Dr. Lutz's new book.

With the wonders of technology in healthcare come tremendous improvements in patient outcomes and quality of life. On today's episode, we have two phenomenal guests chatting with us about osseointegration in the field of prosthetics, which helps individuals with limb deformities such as amputations move and function more optimally.Haris Kafedzic is an American Board Certified Prosthetist and Orthotist and Eschen's lead Manhattan Prosthetist and Residency Director. Dr. Robert Rozbruch is an orthopedic surgeon, the Chief of the Limb Lengthening and Complex Reconstruction Service since 2005, and Director of the Limb Salvage and Amputation Reconstruction Center at the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS). On the show, our guests talk about the role of a prosthetist and an orthopedic surgeon along with the various other practitioners like physical therapists that contribute to a patient's care. They discuss typical patient cases like individuals with leg length discrepancies or limb amputations of all kinds. Currently, the United States' medical system hasn't fully caught up with the advancements in the field of prosthetics, which makes it difficult to refer appropriate patients to the right places. Both Haris and Dr. Rozbruch advocate for building awareness around osseointegration as they celebrate their patients' success stories. Dr. S. Robert Rozbruch, after graduating Magna Cum Laude from the University of Pennsylvania, attended Weill Medical College of Cornell University from which he graduated with honors in research. Residency training in Orthopedic Surgery at HSS was followed by two fellowships. He did specialized training in Trauma as an AO fellow at the University of Bern in Switzerland. Additional training in adult and pediatric limb lengthening followed at the Maryland Center for Limb Lengthening & Reconstruction. He is Professor of Clinical Orthopedic Surgery at Weill Medical College of Cornell University. He is a member of several national medical societies including fellowship in the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, Orthopedic Trauma Association, and The Limb Lengthening & Reconstruction Society (LLRS) of which he was President 2012-2013. He has lectured on his clinical and research works at both national and international meetings and has authored over 150 articles in medical journals and chapters in orthopedic textbooks. He is the editor of 2 major textbooks: Limb Lengthening & Reconstruction Surgery and Limb Lengthening and Reconstruction Surgery Case Atlas.Haris Kafedzic received a Master's degree in Prosthetics and Orthotics from Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine.  While attending Northwestern University, he was part of a small group of students selected to travel to Guatemala and provide orthotic and prosthetic care to underprivileged patients. Haris's personal story has greatly influenced him to focus on prosthetic care.  He started working for Eschen as a dual-discipline resident. Haris has advanced training in many aspects of prosthetic care including myoelectric upper limb prostheses and microprocessor knee and ankle units.  He has worked closely with Dr. Rozbruch the past four and a half years treating upper and lower extremity osseointegration patients.  He is committed to helping every patient achieve their maximum functional potential utilizing the latest technology and technique.  Connect with them at:Eschenpo.comhss.edu/limblengthening.asposseointegrationUSA.com

This conversation with Dr. David Hass and Carrie Armour preceded the first annual Medical Cannabis Research and Advocacy Alliance conference, to be held in March 2021 (virtually). Dave and Carrie are deeply involved in the world of medical cannabis but come to it from very different perspectives. Dave is a medical doctor who understands the science and has seen first-hand what medical cannabis can do for some patients. Carrie is an attorney who has devoted her professional life to working on medical cannabis policy and regulations. Our conversation helps put context around why it’s been so hard for many people -- doctors and patients alike -- to get a straight story on medical cannabis, and how a very mixed bag of regulations makes it hard to conduct good scientific research. We even address the commercial explosion of adult-use recreational cannabis and CBD, which seems to only add more confusion to this complicated landscape. Dr. Hass attended medical school at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, followed by residency training at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, and Gastroenterology and Hepatology fellowship training at Montefiore Medical Center/Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx, NY. He currently serves on the clinical faculty at the Yale University School of Medicine and has a unique hybrid of private practice and academics. He is the Medical Director of PACT Gastroenterology Centerin the New Haven CT area, as well as the Director of Endoscopy at Yale New Haven Hospital – Saint Raphael Campus, where he is actively involved in the fellowship training program at Yale. Dr. Hass is passionate about both patient and physician advocacy and has served as President of the New Haven County Medical Association and is currently Vice President of the Connecticut State Medical Society State Council. He is a certified clinical hypnotherapist, a modality implemented to treat functional abdominal pain. His clinical interests include small bowel disease, inflammatory bowel disease and complementary and alternative therapies in the treatment of gastrointestinal and hepatic disease including medical cannabis use. Carrie Armour has over fifteen years of experience representing physicians, patients and the cannabis industry as a government affairs attorney and advocacy consultant. As a consultant, Carrie focuses on improving pain management and influencing policies to create highly regulated, compliance focused cannabis programs as well as expanding opportunities for cannabis education and cannabis research. Prior to opening up her consulting firm, Armour Advocacy, Carrie worked for over a decade at the American Medical Association in its state government affairs division. At the AMA, Carrie developed and managed advocacy campaigns to help shape and inform state laws, regulations and policies in support of patients and physicians focusing on public health improvement and protecting the physician-patient relationship.Carrie began her legal career as a prosecutor at the Cook County State’s Attorney. She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Miami University and a Juris Doctorate from Loyola University School of Law. She is on the Board of the Medical Cannabis Research Advocacy Alliance, a Director on the Board of Illinois Women in Cannabis and a member of the International Cannabis Bar Association and the Illinois Cannabis Bar Association.

In episode 99 of the Psychcast, Frank Yeomans, MD, PhD, clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y., spoke with Dr. Norris at the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry (GAP) fall 2019 meeting about treating patients with personality disorders. Characteristics of personality disorders A personality disorder affects the quality of a person’s experience and his or her ability to deal with challenges in life, including comorbid psychiatric disorders. A personality disorder is not based on symptoms alone and determines how people engage with their environment; it is a part of the biological side of psychiatry. The DSM traditionally relied on a traits-based definition of personality disorders. Yet, in the “emerging measures and models” section, the DSM-5 describes a dimensional/categorical model of personality disorders, which looks at personality disorders as combinations of core impairments in personality functioning with specific configurations of problematic personality traits. This harkens back to the concept of borderline personality organization as outlined by Otto F. Kernberg, MD. The dimensional model suggests that individuals with personality disorders benefit from behavioral therapies, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), to treat problematic traits. Exploratory and insight-focused psychotherapies can help individuals understand their personality organization. Ideally, the treatments for personality disorders would be sequenced, starting with CBT or DBT and transitioning into exploratory therapy. Much like borderline personality disorder, at the core of narcissistic personality disorder is a fragmented sense of self, but in the latter disorder, a self-centered narrative exists that is coherent to the person but does not support reality. If mental health is defined as the ability to adapt to the different circumstances of life, people with narcissism cannot adapt and instead, develop a grandiose narrative to soothe the fragmented self. Therapeutic interventions for narcissism focus on disrupting the narrative in a gentle way that allows patients to understand the model in which they currently experience the world and then reconstitute an adaptive narrative. An effective treatment approach is psychodynamic therapy, with a focus on a treatment contract and specific, explicitly agreed-upon goals. Try to focus more on the interaction with the patient than on the narrative content of the session. The therapy must focused on how the patient acts in therapy, and their adaptations and reactions, because these are the actions that negatively affect their relationships and daily lives. The biological part of a person is processed at the psychological level, so psychiatrists must be interested in psychological aspects of treatment. References Sharp C et al.

Do you like to lie out on the beach in the summer, or are you more likely to be found hiding in the shade? Well, how you answer might depend on how quickly you seem to get sunburnt. We all know that we should wear sunscreen when out and about in the summer to protect our skin and so reduce our risk of skin cancer, but new research from the Weill Medical College of Cornell might allow us to ditch the sunscreen at some point in the future. Eva Higginbotham spoke to Dr Jonathan Zippin, a dermatologist and skin researcher, about his lab's key discovery in the science of skin. Like this podcast?

During this interview, Dr. Tuttle discusses the following points: Challenges of managing thyroid cancer as outlined by the guidelines Scaling back care for insurance-challenged patients, and adopting a plan that gets the same result without needing the expensive tests Desired outcome is survival and no recurrence, a third is for no harm that would be caused by an unnecessary surgery Unwanted side affects of thyroid cancer include nerve damage, parathyroid damage, and infections RAI sometimes has unwanted side affects With technology, ultrasounds and biopsies, we know some cancers do not need to be treated, as they are now being found very early Change in ATA guidelines, low risk cancers can be considered for observation Two different kinds of patient profiles: Minimalist and Maximalist 1cm or 1.5cm? Patient characteristic, ultra sound characteristics, and the medical team characteristics weighs who is the most appropriate for observation 400 active surveillance patients currently at MSKCC Certain parts of the world are harder to offer observation as a treatment due to practicality, examples include Latina America where multi-nodular goiters are common, and Germany still is iodine deficient About Dr. Tuttle, in his words: I am a board-certified endocrinologist who specializes in caring for patients with advanced thyroid cancer. I work as part of a multidisciplinary team including surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, nuclear medicine specialists, and radiation oncologists that provides individualized care to patients treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering for thyroid cancer. In addition to treating patients I am also actively researching new treatments for advanced thyroid cancer. I am a professor of medicine at the Joan and Sanford I. Weill Medical College of Cornell University and travel extensively both in the US and abroad, lecturing on the difficult issues that sometimes arise in the management of patients with thyroid cancer. My research projects in radiation-induced thyroid cancer have taken me from Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands to the Hanford Nuclear power-plant in Washington State to regions in Russia that were exposed to fallout from the Chernobyl accident. I am an active member of the American Thyroid Association (ATA) and the Endocrine Society. In addition to serving on the ATA committee that produced the current guidelines for the management of benign and malignant nodules, I am also a Chairman of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network Thyroid Cancer Panel, a consultant to the Endocrinologic and Metabolic Drugs Advisory Committee of the FDA, and a consultant to the Chernobyl Tissue Bank.

Most Cochrane Reviews examine the effects of healthcare interventions, but some look at other aspects of healthcare systems, such as how to help people access health services. In a new review in November 2017, a team of university researchers from Canada, Germany, India, New Zealand and the United States examine the possible role for unconditional cash transfers. One of the team, Sze Yan Liu from Weill Medical College at Cornell University in the US, tells us what they found in this podcast.

Date: May 30, 2013 Featuring: Jerry Penso, MD, MBA, Chief Medical and Quality Officer, American Medical Group Association Phil Yphantides, MD, Hypertension and Diabetes Physician Champion, Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group Ola Akinboboye, MD, MPH, FACC, Associate Professor or Clinical Medicine, Weill Medical College of Cornell University; Medical Director, Queens Heart Institute; President, Association of Black Cardiologists Bob Mathews, President and CEO, MediSync   In order to improve health outcomes and slow health care spending in the US, much of which is fueled by millions of people with poorly managed chronic conditions, health care providers are rethinking how they engage with patients who are most at risk. Hypertension is a case in point. Left untreated, individuals are on track to develop heart disease, strokes, and more. Yet the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that 30 million Americans with high blood pressure aren’t receiving the proper care. The reasons are complex and multifaceted. That’s why the American Medical Group Foundation decided six months ago to harvest the best hypertension interventions and innovations from leading medical group practices, and spread the learning via Measure Up, Pressure Down, a three-year national campaign. This WIHI looks at how the initiative is progressing.Each guest has a unique perspective on the issues surrounding hypertension, as well as experience transforming group practices to deliver the right care to the right patient at the right time. Our guests agree that access to primary care is an important factor in untreated high blood pressure, but they assert that this tends to obscure other defects in the system. That’s why the campaign planks, described in a detailed toolkit, focus on eliminating “dropped balls” and map out ways medical groups can more reliably and accurately engage with the patients with high blood pressure they do see.Learn about an effort that promises to impact both health care delivery and population health.

Most gynecological cancers are hard to diagnose because of their vague symptoms.You've been debating on whether or not a women's health exam is needed. You haven't been going annually like suggested and can't remember the last time you got yourself checked out.Do you know the importance of getting these exams?By routinely getting these exams, you are reducing your risk of gynecological cancers. In the U.S., endometrium cancer (uterine) is the most common cancer of the female reproductive organs. In fact, according to the American Cancer Society, about 52,630 new cases of cancer of the uterus will be diagnosed in 2014. About 8,590 women will die from cancers of the uterine body.Another major gynecological cancer is ovarian cancer, which accounts for three percent of cancers among women but causes more deaths than any other cancer of the reproductive system.Cervical cancer forms in the tissues of the cervix (the organ connecting the uterus to the vagina). This usually is a slow growing cancer that may not have any symptoms, but can be found with regular Pap tests.Why should you schedule your women's health exam every year?Director of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, as well as an Associate Professor of Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, Dr. Kevin Holcomb, discusses why gynecological exams are important for catching the three major gynecological cancers.

Host: Jordan Metzl, MD Guest: John Kennedy, MD Commonly perceived as a minor injury, ankle sprains are dismissed by many athletes, in particular, who are encouraged to shake it off, play through pain, and pursue some simple rehab as their game and practice schedule allows. Yet there is more to simple ankle sprains than we may realize, including diminished proprioception and balance that may leave our patients more vulnerable to chronic injury. Why is this loss of proprioception specific to the ankle? Are we approaching our treatment of these injuries in the proper manner? Dr. John Kennedy, assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery at Weill Medical College of Cornell University and an orthopaedic surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, details effective diagnostic and treatment strategies with host Dr. Jordan Metzl. Dr. Kennedy urges us not to underestimate what may be perceived as a simple ankle sprain.

Guest: John Kennedy, MD Host: Jordan Metzl, MD Several studies looking at efficacy for custom and off-the-shelf orthotics indicate that the vast majority of patients don't need a custom device. How do we decide who is an appropriate candidate for each product? How does this debate about specialized product lines project to running shoes and other items that help us work toward better foot health for our patients? Host Dr. Jordan Metzl welcomes Dr. John Kennedy, assistant professor of orthopaedic surgery at Weill Medical College of Cornell University and an orthopaedic surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York.
