Although cataracts are typically seen in middle age and older individuals, they can occur at any age. They represent one of the leading causes of impaired vision and blindness worldwide.

Fortunately, there’s very effective treatment available which can restore a patient’s vision. In today’s podcast, we’ll discuss cataracts, their symptoms and management with Amir R. Khan, M.D., an ophthalmologist at the Mayo Clinic.

Shattering Glass Ceilings One Surgery at a Time
In this Heartline Echo Episode, I sit down with Dr. JoAn Monaco, a trailblazing plastic surgeon who has shattered glass ceilings and paved the way for women in surgery. As we celebrate Women's History Month, Dr. Monaco's journey serves as a powerful reminder of the progress made and the challenges that still lie ahead for women in medicine.

Dr. Monaco's story is not just about personal triumph; it's a call to action for continued support and mentorship of women in medicine. Her work with female medical students across the country demonstrates her commitment to nurturing the next generation of surgeons.

Impact of US Aid Cuts on South Africa’s Healthcare
In this episode of A Shot in the Arm Podcast, hosts Yvette Raphael and Ben Plumley discuss the resilience of South Africa's healthcare system amidst U.S. aid cuts, particularly through USAID and PEPFAR. They highlight the devastating impacts on HIV treatment, TB care, and broader healthcare services due to the sudden cessation of funding. But the country is markedly more prepared than critics might have feared, to assume full responsibility for its infectious diseases strategies - including procurement and surveillance strategies that the US maintained control over in exchange for the aid. Their conversation extends to cover issues around mental health, future healthcare innovations like long-acting antiretrovirals, and the broader geopolitical implications of donor aid cuts.

Tuberculosis (TB) in Children
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guest: James T. Gaensbauer, M.D., M.S.
Each year, we recognize World TB Day on March 24. This annual event commemorates the date in 1882 when Dr. Robert Koch announced his discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the bacillus that causes tuberculosis (TB). World TB Day is a day to educate the public about the impact of TB around the world.
The CDC, along with our partners and colleagues around the world, share successes in TB prevention and control and raise awareness of the challenges that hinder our progress toward the elimination of this devastating disease.
Tuberculosis continues to be a global health concern. Despite being preventable and very treatable, this disease continues to cause suffering and death. It accounted for an estimated one and a quarter million deaths worldwide in 2023. In the United States, cases have been increasing over the past several years, and this is also true in children, especially in those under the age of 5 years. What are the common risk factors for tuberculosis in children? Is the disease different in children compared to adults? What should we, as a primary care provider do when we suspect tuberculosis in a young patient? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest for this podcast, James T. Gaensbauer, M.D., M.S., a pediatric infectious disease specialist at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Tuberculosis in Children”.

133: Transitioning from ED to Rapid Response with Aidan RN
Rapid response nurses don’t just handle codes — they help prevent them from happening. Contrary to popular belief, Rapid Response Nursing is not just sprinting from code blue the next and neither is ER nursing. While there are a lot of similarities between these two specialties in Nursing, there are a lot of differences too. In this episode, Aidan RN shares what it was like to transition from the fast-paced ER to the world of rapid response.We discuss what sets rapid response apart, the mindset shifts that helped him make the switch, and break down cases where their quick action made all the difference — including a subdural hematoma caught just in time, a STEMI with an unusual presentation, and a patient whose only symptom was neck pain.Whether you’re calling rapid response or considering the role yourself, don't miss this conversation on the skills and challenges that define rapid response nursing!Topics discussed in this episode:Why transition from ER to rapid response?Differences between ER and rapid response nursingCase study: discovering a subdural hematomaThe role of intuition in rapid response nursingBest practices to work with rapid response nursesAdvice to nurses considering Rapid Response NursingLearn more about what it’s like to be a Rapid Response Nurse!https://www.aacn.org/blog/exploring-the-world-of-rapid-response-nursesMentioned in this episode:CONNECT
