Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D., [@chutkaMD] Guest: Christy L. Hunt, D.O. Pain management is a combination of science and art. We have a variety of treatment options to choose from however some have significant potential for harm and some the potential to be abused and carry the risk of dependence. We need to choose our treatments carefully, based on the type of pain we are treating as well as other health conditions found in our patient. In addition to the various analgesic products, other options include injections, nerve blocks and several integrative medicine alternatives. In this podcast, we’ll discuss the various pain management options we have available and hopefully give you some new ideas to help manage pain in your patients.

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.

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.
