Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Matthew P. Abdel, M.D. Arthritis of the hip or knee is a common cause of pain and disability. It can cause significant limitations in mobility and a reduced quality of life. Hip and knee replacements have the potential to change all that. They’re safe, have a high success rate and can allow the patient to get back to a healthy, active lifestyle. Who’s a candidate for a hip or knee replacement? What’s the optimal timing of the procedure? What’s important in obtaining an optimal outcome from surgery and what are the complications of a hip or knee replacement? Our guest for today’s podcast is Matthew P. Abdel, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon at the Mayo Clinic. He’ll be answering these questions and more as we discuss the surgical management of hip and knee arthritis.  https://www.usdairy.com/about-us/national-dairy-council Connect with the Mayo Clinic’s School of Continuous Professional Development online at https://ce.mayo.edu/ or on Twitter @MayoMedEd.   

Host: Denise M. Dupras, M.D., Ph.D. Guest: Kullo, Iftikhar J., M.D. While genetic conditions and risk for disease have traditionally been focused on monogenetic causes, it is now recognized that multiple genetic changes are often involved in risk for disease. What conditions are polygenetic and what should we be looking for to help identify these risks for our patients?

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D., [@chutkaMD] Guest: Mohit Chauhan, M.B.B.S. Attention-deficit / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has the potential to impact and impair multiple aspects of life, including underachievement in education, difficulty with employment and challenging social relationships. ADHD has long been felt to be a disorder of childhood that gradually diminishes as one approaches adulthood, however it’s now being questioned whether ADHD can develop in adulthood. It’s thought that around 4% of adults have ADHD and that the majority are undiagnosed and untreated. In this podcast, we’ll discuss ADHD in adults, its effects on those who have it, and how it can be managed. Our guest is Mohit Chauhan, M.B.B.S., a psychiatrist from the Mayo Clinic.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Krystin A. Hidden, M.D. Guest: Jad Sfeir, M.D., M.S. Osteoporosis is responsible for approximately two million fractures per year. It’s estimated that 50% of all women and 25% of all men over age 50 will suffer an osteoporosis-related fracture.  Bone fractures, especially of the spine and hip are the most serious complications of osteoporosis. While vertebral compression fractures can cause chronic back pain, hip fractures can result in chronic disability and even death. Yet nearly 80% of older Americans who suffer fractures have not been tested or treated for osteoporosis and it is a very treatable condition. Today’s podcast is about common fractures associated with osteoporosis and my guests include Krystin A. Hidden, M.D., from the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Jad Sfeir, M.D., M.S., from the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism. https://www.usdairy.com/about-us/national-dairy-council Connect with the Mayo Clinic’s School of Continuous Professional Development online at https://ce.mayo.edu/ or on Twitter @MayoMedEd. 

Host: Denise M. Dupras, M.D., Ph.D. Guest: Wayne Nicholson, M.D., Pharm.D. Guest: Eric T. T. Matey, Pharm.D., R.Ph. Do you know the correlation between pharmacogenomics (PGx), or the interaction between a patient’s genes and their response to medications, and pain management? How could you incorporate PGx into your pain management toolbox? And how can you use PGx to help inform appropriate medication and dosage? Tune into this episode of Mayo Clinic Center for Individualized Medicine’s Genes & Your Health miniseries, “Spotlight on PGx: Pain,” featuring Nick T. Nicholson, M.D., Pharm.D. and Eric T.

Host: Joshua D. Luciew, MPAS, PA-C Guest: Cesar A. Gonzalez, Ph.D., L.P. Guest: Maryam Mahmood, M.B., Ch.B. As primary care providers, we are charged with ensuring our patients are healthy.  According to the World Health Organization, “health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”  However, sometimes our patients will not inform us of what problems or difficulties that they may be facing in their lives, which makes it difficult to help in these situations. As result, we must screen or ask patients specific questions in attempts to make sure they are okay. One such example that we may screen for in these instances is intimate partner violence. This condition has many presentations and can affect anyone. Intimate partner violence or domestic violence is reported to be a serious, preventable, public health concern as it affects more than 32 million Americans. Tune in to this episode to learn more about what intimate partner violence looks like, the psychology behind intimate partner violence perpetrators, how we should be screening for this, and what we can do to help our patients in these situations.
