Menopause is a natural phase of life, but many women find themselves unprepared for the changes it brings. In this episode, host Jennie Berkovich, DO, sits down with Valerie Altmann, MD, to break down everything you need to know about menopause—from common signs and symptoms to the differences between perimenopause, menopause, and postmenopause.Dr. Altmann shares insights into hormone replacement therapy (HRT), alternative treatment options, and ways to manage symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. She also discusses the long-term health risks associated with menopause and the role of nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle changes in supporting women's health during this transition.Whether you're approaching menopause, in the midst of it, or simply looking to understand it better, this episode provides expert guidance to help you navigate this stage of life with confidence.Valerie Altmann is a faculty attending in obstetrics and gynecology at Long Island Jewish Hospital, part of the Northwell Health system. She is an assistant professor at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra University. Born and raised in Montreal, Valerie is a graduate of McGill University and McGill Medical School. Besides having an active practice, Valerie has enjoyed teaching and mentoring medical students and residents. She has received numerous awards for teaching from national organizations and from the Society of Academic Specialists in Ob/Gyn. Valerie regularly presents on topics related to women's health for Northwell's community outreach and for various Jewish organizations. She is an active member of Northwell's Katz Institute of Women's Health' menopause collaborative.  She lives in Riverdale, NY with her husband and four children. Sponsor the JOWMA Podcast!

In this episode of Bioethics in the Margins, we delve into the topic of capital punishment by nitrogen gas. Dr. Robert Glatter is Editor at Large for Medscape Emergency Medicine and Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell. Dr. Peter Papadakos is Professor of Anesthesiology, Surgery, Neurology and Neurosurgery at the University of Rochester, and a Professor of Internal Medicine at Mercer University School of Medicine. Drs. Papadakos and Glatter dissect the harsh realities of suffering and injustice surrounding the execution of Kenneth Smith in Alabama, the first person executed using nitrogen gas. They explore what nitrogen is and its physiological effects and reflect on the inhumane nature of nitrogen hypoxia. The conversation also touches upon the broader issues of botched executions, delayed executions as psychological torture, the absence of definitive DNA evidence in some death row cases. They highlight the point that both the American Medical Association and the American Society of Anesthesiologists as well as many nursing associations state that participating in executions is not the practice of medicine and is prohibited by their members. This means that executions are conducted by non-medical personnel. They also point out that delaying executions, sometimes for decades, falls under the definition of torture under the Geneva conventions. This conversation poses the question; if our society continues to condone these practices, are we civilized?The JAMA editorial mentioned during the podcast can be found here: Evidence Against Use of Nitrogen for the Death Penalty | Neurology | JAMA | JAMA Network

Joining us on Well Said is Dr. Anna Costakis, Director of Psychiatry Residency Training at Northwell Staten Island University Hospital and Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the Zucker School of Medicine to talk about how with the appropriate support, treatments, and knowledge, people living with depression can find hope and healing. 

Dr. Ellen Pearlman discusses the Antiracism Module and the section that she wrote titled Antiracism in Action.  She talks about skills development such as speaking up, calling in vs. calling out, and intent and impact with examples.

It's underutilized due to a lack of understanding and difficult decisions required regarding foregoing certain treatments.Patients should be able to explore hospice without feeling obligated to stop other care immediately.Family caregivers are an "invisible workforce" that requires more support, education, and resources. They are integral to the healthcare team yet often overlooked.Elder orphans, those aging without family support, are a growing concern and need early identification and tailored support.Geriatric medicine and palliative care are in their infancy and require more attention and specialists to meet their increasing needs. There's an insufficient number of professionals in these fields.Resources:Connect with and follow Maria Torroella Carney on LinkedIn.Discover more about Northwell Health on LinkedIn and their website.Buy Maria Torroella Carney's The Aging Revolution here.

In this episode, host Dr. Aparna Baheti interviews Dr. Kuldeep Singh who breaks down the three stages of lymphedema, their respective medical and surgical treatment options, all while sharing key insights he has developed through years of experience in treating and caring for patients with lymphedema at a high level throughout the episode. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSORS Medtronic HawkOne Directional Atherectomy System https://www.medtronic.com/hawkone Philips SymphonySuite https://www.philips.com/symphonysuite --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Kuldeep is a Vascular Surgeon, the Director of Limb Salvage Surgery, and Program Director at Zucker School of Medicine at North Wall Hospital in Staten Island. He begins by recounting the first time he was approached by a patient suffering from Stage 3 lower extremity lymphedema, along with his initial thought process/treatment plan for the patient. He then goes on to speak on several similarities/challenges he has encountered through treating a number of patients with lymphedema, including managing/treating psychological body dysmorphia in most patients after successful surgical treatment of lymphedema. Kuldeep underscores the gravity and risks associated with moving forward with the Charles procedure (which is also known as lymphedema debulking operation), how such a surgical option should only be considered for patients with Stage 3 lymphedema, and how to encourage and promote consistent pre-operative care. Kuldeep goes onto discuss the operation itself in detail - explaining how the surgery is best done as a team (Vascular (dissecting soft tissue and placing Wound VAC for 1 week to promote formation of granulation tissue), Plastics (skin grafting/reconstruction after 1 week), and Pathology), working within the fascial plane (differentiating fascia, muscle, and fat), dealing with calcified fat effectively, difficulty of identifying fascia in setting of lymphedema, and working near the ankle (avoiding iatrogenic injury of anterior and posterior tibial arteries and achilles tendon). We wrap up the episode by discussing postoperative course: admitting the patient into Burn ICU after each step of the procedure, reapplying Wound VAC after Vascular and Plastic portions, and only discharging the patient from Burn ICU to a rehab facility after evidence of good graft uptake. --- RESOURCES Limb Salvage for “Hopeless” Lymphedema: Reviving the Charles Procedure by Singh et al.

Joining us on Well Said is Dr. Henry Donaghy, Program Director of the Infectious Disease Fellowship at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra Northwell and Assistant Professor at the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra Northwell to discuss Strep throat. While Strep infections decreased in the US during the initial years of the COVID-19 pandemic, this past Strep-season, we witnessed a significant surge in Strep infections amongst school-age children, surpassing even pre-pandemic levels.
