Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Ana I. Casanegra, M.D., M.S. Venous thrombosis is an under diagnosed and potentially serious health condition, yet in many cases its preventable and certainly treatable when found.  Its most serious potential complication is embolization, most commonly to the lung. As a medical condition, venous thrombosis has been known for many years. In fact, the triad of contributing factors to venous thrombosis including venous stasis, vascular injury and hypercoagulability were discovered in the mid-1800’s. Despite the long duration we’ve been diagnosing and treating the health problem, there’s still much we need to learn about it. The topic for today’s podcast is venous thrombosis and we’ll discuss its risk factors, how to diagnose a DVT and the best management recommendations. My guest will be Ana I. Casanegra, M.D., M.S., a vascular medicine specialist at the Mayo Clinic. Connect with the Mayo Clinic’s School of Continuous Professional Development online at https://ce.mayo.edu/ or on Twitter @MayoMedEd. 

Can you feel it?!? The energy, the excitement, the smell of fresh-cut grass—football season is back! From Friday night lights to Sunday tailgates, there’s nothing quite like it. The thrill of the game, the hard hits, the big plays, the rivalries—we wait all year for this. It’s the heartbeat of fall.  But behind the touchdowns and tackles, there’s a conversation we can’t afford to ignore. As much as we love this sport, we can’t turn a blind eye to the growing concerns around traumatic brain injuries—injuries that have changed the lives of countless players, from the pros to the youth leagues. In the first week of the new season, two young people, Caden Tellier, 16, of Selma, Alabama and Cohen Craddock, 13, of West Virginia, died of traumatic brain injuries. While we don’t have all the details of their tragic injuries, it is a stark reminder of the risks players take when they step onto the field. In this episode, Your Doctor Friends dive into the other side of the excitement—the risks that come with those bone-crushing hits. We tackle topics such as whether the type of helmet matters, what those weird sponge-like helmet covers actually do and how tackle football compares to flag football (spoiler alert, this 2021 study by the CDC and published in Sports Health, found that youth tackle football players experienced FIFTEEN TIMES more head impacts than their youth flag football players).  We also give you tips on how to be mindful of signs of concussion or more serious brain injuries. The CDC's "Heads Up" program has great information on their website! Football is fun. Football can be dangerous. Informed consent matters! Your Doctor Friends are here to give you the breakdown and help you decide what's best for you and your family. Stay healthy, dear friends! Thanks for tuning in, friends!
