You don't have to do much. Just look at any TV show or movie, and you'll still see people being mocked because of their body weight. It's the last of the isms standing, and we've got to work really hard to dismantle that as well.” —Sumit Bhagra, M.D. “If we introspect into the origin of the bias, we'll notice that the belief that people are 100 percent in control of their body weight is probably the basis for the bias. Because if we truly understand the systemic nature of any health problems, particularly weight gain, we can probably empathize more with the person who lives in a larger body as opposed to blaming them for being in that shape.” — Sumit Bhagra, M.D.
HOST - Dawn Marie R. Davis, M.D. GUEST - Carol Kuhle, DO, MPH Guest, Dr. Carol Kuhle, joins the podcast to discuss the importance of hormones, hormone regulation, sexual health and hormone driven cancers.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] https://twitter.com/ChutkaMD%5D Guest: Zelalem Temesgen, M.D. It’s thought that a variant of tuberculosis originated in East Africa around 3 million years ago with the current strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis dating back at least 20,000 years. Although easily spread from one person to another, not everyone infected develops active disease. The management of tuberculosis varies, and although there is a vaccine, it’s not commonly used in the U.S. Effective pharmacologic treatment is available, however drug-resistant strains have presented challenges in some cases. This podcast is in recognition of World Tuberculosis Day, March 24, the day that Dr. Robert Koch reported Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. We’ll discuss the disease, it’s diagnosis and management with infectious disease specialist and Professor of Medicine, Zelalem Temesgen, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] https://twitter.com/ChutkaMD%5D Guest: John C. Lewis, M.D. It’s estimated that 25 million people in the U.S. have asthma; this represents about 1 in every 13 individuals. It’s more common in females and is a leading cause of chronic disease in children. Asthma represents a common reason for an outpatient visit and is unfortunately, also a relatively common reason for hospitalization. Although it’s felt that almost all deaths from asthma are preventable with appropriate management, over 3,000 people per year die from asthma. How do we properly evaluate patients we suspect have asthma? What are the goals for their management and what are the current recommendations for treatment? For this podcast we’ll discuss an update in asthma with my guest, John C. Lewis, M.D., from the Division of Allergic Disease at the Mayo Clinic.

HOST - Dawn Marie R. Davis, M.D. GUEST - Jewel M. Kling, M.D., M.P.H. The number of midlife women transitioning into menopause is substantial with more than one million women in the U.S. entering menopause each year. Symptoms such as vasomotor symptoms (VMS), mood and sleep disturbances, and sexual problems are common during the menopause transition, yet often go untreated. Menopausal hormone therapy (HT) is often the preferred and most effective treatment option for menopausal symptoms. Dr. Juliana (Jewel) Kling joins the podcast to discuss this important topic.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] https://twitter.com/ChutkaMD%5D Guest: M. Regina Castro, M.D. It’s estimated that at least 12% of the U.S. population have some form of thyroid disorder. It’s more common in women and well over half of all patients with a thyroid dysfunction don’t know they have a problem. We encounter patients with hypothyroidism often; especially sub-clinical hypothyroidism and thyroid nodules are also found frequently. What do we need to consider when contemplating thyroid replacement therapy in a patient? How long do we need to re-image thyroid nodules? And when should we refer a patient with a thyroid nodule for a fine needle aspirate? In this podcast, I’ll discuss these questions and more with M. Regina Castro, M.D., from the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism at the Mayo Clinic.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka. M.D.; [@chutkaMD] https://twitter.com/ChutkaMD%5D Guest: Cornelia M. Weyand, M.D., Ph.D. Guest: Kenneth J. Warrington, M.D. Rheumatologic problems are some of the most common health conditions we see as primary care professionals. In many cases, taking months and sometimes years to properly diagnose, rheumatologic conditions can become frustrating for both the provider and the patient. There are a variety of new tests available to help us establish a diagnosis, as well as multiple new and effective treatment options. This episode is part of a seven-episode mini-series on Mayo Clinic Talks dedicated to rheumatologic health problems to aid in the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment for your patients. Please find these episodes where you listen to podcasts or on ce.mayo.edu. Temporal arteritis is an inflammatory rheumatologic disorder that typically occurs in those over the age of 50. It can have devastating complications including loss of vision and stroke. It can have various presentations and at times can be challenging to diagnose. It also has an interesting relationship with polymyalgia rheumatica. Although there are abnormal lab tests associated with temporal arteritis, there is no one diagnostic test. A temporal artery biopsy is performed to establish a definitive diagnosis. Our topic for today’s podcast is temporal arteritis and my guests include Cornelia M. Weyand, M.D., Ph.D. and Kenneth J. Warrington, M.D., both from the Division of Rheumatology at the Mayo Clinic. We’ll discuss the typical symptoms of temporal arteritis, its potential complications, how to make a diagnosis and its treatment.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] https://twitter.com/ChutkaMD%5D Guest: Kelsey L. Jensen, Pharm.D., R.Ph. Guest: Daniel Ilges, Pharm.D., R.Ph., BCIPD The appropriate use of antibiotics is important for a variety of reasons. It helps keep our patients safe, helps maintain antibiotic effectiveness in treating bacterial infections, and helps control the cost of patient care. Very few new antibiotics have been introduced in the past few decades. Because of this, as well as the accelerated emergence of antibiotic resistance, it’s more important than ever that we practice careful and responsible use of antibiotics. Antibiotic stewardship is the effort to measure and improve how antibiotics are prescribed by clinicians and used by patients. This podcast will focus on out-patient antibiotic stewardship and my guests include Kelsey L. Jensen, Pharm.D., R.Ph., and Daniel Ilges, Pharm.D., R.Ph., BCIPD, both pharmacists at the Mayo Clinic. We’ll discuss how antibiotics are often prescribed incorrectly, the barriers we face as clinicians in prescribing antibiotics and how we can all improve our antibiotic stewardship.

It can have a wide range of symptoms and at times, can be challenging to diagnose. As with most rheumatologic disorders, the exact cause isn’t known. While there are no specific laboratory tests which establish a diagnosis, there are some that are very useful. One of the most important features of polymyalgia is its relationship with vasculitis and temporal arteritis. In this podcast, we’ll discuss polymyalgia rheumatica with rheumatologists Cornelia M. Weyand, M.D., Ph.D., and Kenneth J. Warrington, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic. We’ll review the typical presenting symptoms, how to establish a diagnosis, helpful laboratory tests and its management.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] https://twitter.com/ChutkaMD%5D Guest: Katie A. Young, MD We now have a variety of tests to assess patients who present with chest pain. These tests include such basic assessment tools such as a resting ECG to the most invasive of cardiac tests, a coronary angiogram. But there are multiple tests in between these two extremes. Each have their specific benefits and limitations. Which test or tests should we order for patients with chest pain? What are the potential risks of these tests to the patient? In this podcast, we’ll discuss these questions and more with cardiologist Katie A. Young, M.D., from the Department of Cardiovascular Disease from the Mayo Clinic.

In addition to arthralgias, patients often develop a dry mouth and dry eyes and symptoms can vary from person to person. It also commonly mimics other medical conditions, and this may account for its typically delayed diagnosis. Like most other autoimmune diseases, the exact cause isn’t known, but Sjogren’s is treatable. In this podcast, we’ll review the presentation of Sjogren’s, how to establish a diagnosis and how patients with the condition should be managed. Our guest is Alicia M.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka. M.D. [@chutkaMD] https://twitter.com/ChutkaMD%5D Guest: Justin E. Juskewitch, M.D., Ph.D. January is National Blood Donor Month | Here are a few interesting facts regarding blood donations: Over 4.5 million American lives are saved each year by blood transfusion and approximately 40,000 units of donated blood are used each day in the U.S. A single individual involved in a motor vehicle accident can easily require over 100 units of blood. We each have about 10 units of blood in our body and each donation represents about one unit. Surprisingly, only 38% of the population is eligible to donate blood and of these eligible individuals, only 5%, actually donate. The topic for this podcast is “Blood Donation and How it Relates to Primary Care” and my guest is Justin E. Juskewitch, M.D., Ph.D., from Transfusion Medicine at the Mayo Clinic.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D., @ChutkaMD https://twitter.com/chutkamd Guest: Evelyn A. Reynolds, M.D. January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month | Cervical cancer is the fourth most common malignancy in women worldwide, although the number of new cases in the U.S. has been declining. The vast majority of cervical cancers are caused by infection with the Human Papilloma Virus. Due to a combination of HPV immunization and early detection with cervical cancer screening, advanced cases are becoming much less common and when detected early, cervical cancer is one of the more treatable malignancies. Although cervical cancer screening is relatively easy to perform, the guidelines for performing the test have become more complicated. In this podcast, we’ll discuss cervical cancer screening with my guest Evelyn A. Reynolds, M.D., from the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the Mayo Clinic. I’ll be asking her when to start screening, how often patients should be screened, when we can stop screening and more.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease with a variety of immunological and laboratory abnormalities, as well as numerous clinical manifestations. It can affect almost every organ and has the potential to cause severe organ damage. Most patients experience flares of the disease alternating with periods of remission. Lupus is much more common in women than men and there are significant geographical and ethnic differences in the incidence and eventual outcome of the disease. It’s known as the great imitator because it can mimic a variety of other diseases and it’s not uncommon for patients to have symptoms for over 5 years, before a diagnosis of lupus is established. The topic for this podcast is systemic lupus and our guest is Ali A. Duarte Garcia, M.D., a rheumatologist from the Mayo Clinic.

Brought to you by: Mayo Clinic Talks Podcast Flu and cold season is an annual concern for people around the world. Specifically in the United States, there are massive disparities in both care and outcomes for communities of color related to both diagnosis and treatment of flu and cold. On this episode of the RISE for Equity podcast, Nusheen Ameenuddin, M.D., M.P.H., joins host Nicole Nfonoyim-Hara to discuss COVID’s impact on cold and flu, protecting our communities, and how we can improve education and access to care for marginalized communities. “The truth of the matter is genetically, we're all very similar. It's not an issue of race, it's an issue of racism. When we actually step back, people can be like, ‘Oh, that situation was a one-off.’ And when we actually look at the data, it's not a one-off. The fact is, we're not asking the right questions, and we need to look deeper to ensure that we are providing the best possible care, the most objective care, the most patient-centered care, particularly when we see that we're falling short. And, and the numbers don't lie.” Guest: Nusheen Ameenuddin, M.D., M.P.H., is currently an Assistant Professor and Consultant (tenured staff physician) in the Division of Community Pediatric and Adolescent Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D., [@chutkaMD] https://twitter.com/ChutkaMD%5D Guest: Ericka E. Tung, M.D., M.P.H. If we see older patients, we commonly see Alzheimer’s Disease and other dementias in our practice. At times, the presenting symptoms can be quite subtle and it’s not uncommon for the diagnosis to take several years to establish. Very often, any early symptoms which are noticed are attributed to the aging process. Although we don’t have very effective options for treating dementia, it’s still important to diagnose the condition as early as possible. In this podcast, we’ll be discussing “Assessing the Older Patient with New Cognitive Symptoms.” We’ll review the usefulness of a mental status exam, recommended lab tests, whether a brain imaging study is indicated and more with our guest, Ericka E.
