Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: John Stone, MD, MPH Glucocorticoids are often successfully used as the mainstay of treatment for many inflammatory conditions, but adverse events associated with glucocorticoids use are common. Fortunately, there are steps we can take to reduce the risk of glucocorticoid toxicity, like monitoring patients, educating them on the poss

Guest: Dena Goffman, MD Dr. Dena Goffman believes that better maternal care requires a proactive, system-wide approach and is making her vision a reality at NewYork-Presbyterian. She focuses on implementing guidelines that standardize care across all of NewYork-Presbyterian’s hospitals. Dr. Goffman has also aided in FDA approval and adoption of a new, ingenious hemorrhage tool a

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Arnaud Bourdin, MD, PhD Since many severe asthma patients have been shown to have mucus plugs, it’s important to understand the role they plan in severe asthma. Join us as we discuss an exploratory study and the role of mucus plugging in severe asthma with Dr. Charles Turck and Professor Arnaud Bourdin. Professor Bourdin is the He

Guest: Pierre Elias, MD In this episode, you’ll gain insights into Dr. Elias’ innovative approach, integrating technology, data science, and medicine to develop algorithms that aim to enhance accuracy in predicting cardiovascular disease while allowing them to focus on providing personalized care to their patients. This could even help diagnose patients before symptoms occur.

Guest: Michael Kaplitt, MD, PhD For the first time, Dr. Michael Kaplitt was able to perform a trial for a neurological gene therapy that was administered in a human patient to address damaged brain cells caused by Parkinson’s disease. This procedure used an adeno-associated virus to deliver a gene into the brain of a patient with Parkinson’s. The results were groundbreaking an

Guest: Conor Liston, MD, PhD For patients diagnosed with depression for the first time the recommended course of treatment is the same; however, there’s a large patient population for whom these treatments won’t work. So it became increasingly important for Dr. Liston to map the brains of people suffering from major depression to see how it was impacting brain structures and s

Guest: Christopher Petit, MD Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare and challenging heart condition, which narrows blood vessels around the lungs and typically impacts newborn children. Historically, the rates of survival have been low, but with Dr. Petit leading the development of innovative techniques and treatments, the trajectory of patients’ lives could positively change.

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Jamie Koprivnikar, MD Patients with lower-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) lack treatment options, specifically in treating anemia. However, the FDA approval of Reblozyl (luspatercept-aamt) as a first-line therapy for treating anemia in ESA-naïve patients with lower-risk MDS presents an option for this patient population. Tune

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Arnaud Bourdin, MD, PhD It’s only been a recent discovery that mucus plugging may be present and persistent in chronic severe asthma.1 In fact, studies have shown that mucus plugs may drive some lung function deficits in severe asthma.1 Given this recent finding, Dr Charles Turck speaks with Professor Arnaud Bourdin about the clin

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Brian Iacoviello, MD Since the thinking part of depression may involve getting stuck on the sad or the negative thoughts, there is a need to focus on not just cognitive control for information but for emotional information processing.1 And that fits with the picture that we get from brain imaging research that shows hyperactivity in
