• Vascular "What's Circulating": Hereditary Aortic Aneurysms and Dissection

  Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guests: Thais D. Coutinho, M.D., and Kristen A. Sell-Dottin, M.D. Genetic factors predispose selected individuals to hereditary aortic aneurysms leading to aortic dilation and potential dissection.  They can be seen in a variety of known genetic syndromes, and they differ from aortic aneurysms associated with aging and chronic, uncontrolled hypertension. Early recognition is critical in the management of these patients in preventing serious, often life-threatening aortic dissection. How common are hereditary aortic aneurysms? When and how should we screen patients for this condition? Is a genetic consultation recommended? When should we involve a vascular surgeon when at risk patients are identified? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guests, Thais D. Coutinho, M.D., a cardiologist and cardiac surgeon, Kristen A. Sell-Dottin, M.D., both from the Mayo Clinic. We’ll be discussing “Hereditary Aortic Aneurysms and Dissection” as part of our podcast series on “Peripheral Vascular Disease”.

• Correcting Facial Paralysis Associated with Bell’s Palsy

  Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Jacob K. Dey, M.D. Bell’s Palsy is the most common cause of 7th cranial nerve dysfunction and clinically, it has a relatively abrupt onset resulting in unilateral facial paralysis. Fortunately, the majority of patients recover completely without treatment. Unfortunately, in some cases, the facial paralysis is persistent, and surgical intervention may be indicated to help restore facial symmetry. When do patients reach maximum improvement in their facial asymmetry? What is facial synkinesis? What are the various surgical options and how is it determined which one is best for the patient? The topic for this podcast is “Correcting Facial Paralysis Associated with Bell’s Palsy” and these are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, facial plastic surgeon, Jacob K. Dey, M.D., from the Division of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at the Mayo Clinic. Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts

• Measles and Vaccine Hesitancy

  Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Gregory A. Poland, M.D. Measles is a viral illness that very recently was considered rare in this country but unfortunately has seen a resurgence in recent times. It’s highly contagious and can lead to severe complications including encephalitis and potentially death. There is an effective vaccine and it’s typically administered along with mumps and rubella as the MMR. The vaccine was introduced in the 1960’s and resulted in a dramatic reduction in the incidence of measles. Despite overwhelming evidence of the vaccine’s safety and efficacy, vaccine hesitancy has resulted in measles outbreaks in communities with lower immunization rates. The topic for today’s podcast is measles and my guest is Greg A. Poland, M.D., a general internist and vaccine research specialist at the Mayo Clinic. We’ll discuss the clinical manifestations of measles, the measles vaccine, vaccine hesitancy and how we as clinicians can most effectively educate our patients about measles.

• Integrative Oncology

  Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Stacy D. D’Andre, M.D. When we diagnose a patient with cancer, we typically focus on finding the most effective treatment for that malignancy: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy. However, to a patient, the diagnosis of cancer means much more. Patients commonly experience fear and anxiety just from receiving the diagnosis. Other symptoms may include insomnia, depression, pain, and symptomatic effects from the treatment including nausea, loss of appetite and fatigue to name just a few. The Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center has developed an integrative approach to help patients manage the variety of symptoms associated with malignancy. It centers around a multi-disciplinary team which assesses each patient individually and incorporates a variety of complementary treatments as well as physical and emotional support. It also includes nutrition and dietary supplement counseling and recommendations regarding exercise and movement. In this podcast, we’ll learn more about this fascinating approach to treating patients with cancer as we discuss “Integrative Oncology” with my guest, Stacy D. D’Andre, M.D., from the Department of Oncology at the Mayo Clinic.

• Exercise and Bariatric Surgery

  Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Melinda J. Hahm Bariatric surgery is very likely the most effective method for long-term weight loss. It’s not unusual for patients to lose well over 50% of their excess body weight. As a result, a variety of chronic health risks are reduced including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, sleep apnea, hypertension to name just a few. Exercise, associated with bariatric surgery is important to help achieve and maintain long-term weight loss and help prevent regaining the weight lost. The topic for this podcast is “Exercise and Bariatric Surgery” and my guest is Melinda J. Hahm, an exercise physiologist from the Mayo Clinic. Some of the topics we’ll discuss include the benefits of exercise associated with bariatric surgery, when patients should start an exercise program in relation to their surgery and what type of exercise is best to help maintain weight loss.
