When blood stagnates in the left atrial appendage, it can lead to clot formation and stroke. But minimally invasive treatments like the Watchman device are changing the game.

🎥 Learn how cardiology teams are reducing stroke risk and improving outcomes in patients with AFib. https://youtu.be/_EkG4J7fL6k

Did you know the flu can cause more than just sniffles? We’re talking pneumonia, respiratory failure, myocarditis, and even Guillain-Barré syndrome.

🌍 Vaccine formulas are updated yearly based on global flu trends—what circulates in the Southern Hemisphere helps shape what’s in our shots.

🏥 For high-risk patients, the flu can open the door to secondary bacterial infections like Staph aureus, increasing the risk of severe outcomes.

Don’t skip your flu shot—it’s about more than staying home for a few days. Watch the full podcast: https://youtu.be/iw0uxh_syOE

Measles can stay in the air for up to 2 hours—and one infected person can expose 12 to 18 others.

🔍 Highlights from our latest Infectious Disease podcast:
✅ Measles is far more contagious than COVID
✅ Even entering a room after a patient has left poses a risk
✅ Vaccination is still the most effective prevention

At IM Grand Rounds, we explored the growing role of Cologuard as a non-invasive alternative to colonoscopy.

🔍 Highlights:
✅ 90–95% sensitivity—comparable to colonoscopy
✅ Covered by insurance for many patients
✅ Needs to be repeated every 3 years
✅ Use has tripled from 2018 to 2024

For those who want a less invasive screening option, Cologuard is becoming a real game-changer. Watch the full presentation: https://youtu.be/OYTnFqskosE

We’re kicking off our ID video podcast series with a hot topic: Antimicrobial Allergies 💊
Did you know that many patients labeled with penicillin allergies can still safely receive beta-lactams?

🔍 In this episode:
✅ Why beta-lactam cross-reactivity isn’t the barrier it used to be
✅ How updated allergy algorithms are changing treatment
✅ What reactions really matter when prescribing

Unlike traditional treatments, histotripsy allows patients to continue chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation without interruption. 💉✨

🔍 Why it matters:
✅ Almost no pain for most patients
✅ No needles, no incisions = reduced bleeding risk
✅ Can be combined with systemic treatments to amplify their effect
✅ A powerful option for patients who can’t pause their cancer care

This is next-level liver tumor treatment—safe, seamless, and full of potential. Watch the full podcast: https://youtu.be/oaodBfIx_jU?si=zbBRPXrR97IZd0oV

At IM Grand Rounds, we explored the complex regulation of iron in the body—highlighting the key role of hepcidin, a hormone that controls iron absorption and distribution.

🔍 Key insights:
✅ Hepcidin activity is influenced by inflammation, iron overload, and infection
✅ Too much hepcidin = decreased iron absorption and storage
✅ Evidence on iron’s impact on infection risk remains mixed and low quality
✅ Iron management should be individualized for each patient

This reinforces the need for case-by-case clinical judgment when treating iron-related disorders. Watch the full presentation: https://youtu.be/0sr4LCgqKkw

At GHI Grand Rounds, we’re shifting the conversation around heart failure recovery. Recovery isn’t just a yes-or-no outcome—it’s a spectrum of improvement, from minimal gain to near-normal function.

🔍 What we’ve learned:
✅ Some hearts recover significantly, others improve partially
✅ New evidence shows recovery is more gradual and varied than once thought
✅ This understanding helps us better tailor care and set realistic expectations

It’s time to move beyond “will they recover?” and ask “how much can they recover?” Watch the full presentation: https://youtu.be/BdRdO4szilU

Traditional thermal treatments can damage nearby vessels or healthy liver tissue—but non-thermal, non-electromagnetic approaches like histotripsy are changing the game.

🔍 Benefits include:
✅ Safer for patients with cirrhosis or liver failure
✅ Allows treatment near critical vessels and bile ducts
✅ Reduces risk of needing major liver resections for small tumors

This approach opens new doors for patients with tumors in high-risk locations. Watch the full podcast: https://youtu.be/oaodBfIx_jU

At Psychiatry Grand Rounds, we examined the growing role of psychiatrists in evaluating a person’s decision-making capacity—from writing a will to understanding criminal charges.

🔍 Key considerations include:
✅ Can the individual understand the decision and its consequences?
✅ Do they have the attention span and insight to weigh risks and benefits?
✅ Are they able to comprehend legal charges or pleas in court?

These evaluations are critical for protecting patient rights and ensuring fair legal outcomes. Watch the full presentation: https://youtu.be/txB5mzskuNY

06/16/2025

At IM Grand Rounds, we explored how evidence-based decisions and up-to-date clinical tools ensure excellent care without unnecessary cost or harm. 🏥💊

🔍 What it means to practice high-value care:
✅ Use trusted resources like UpToDate & SHM guidelines
✅ Stay current with apps that provide daily or hourly updates
✅ Prioritize treatments that are effective, efficient, and safe

Smart decisions = better outcomes for patients. Watch the full presentation: https://youtu.be/3jmbll0_qeg

New research is reshaping how we treat early-stage breast cancer. Recent trials, including the 2023 SOUND trial, show that some patients over 70 with T1–T2 tumors and negative axillary ultrasound can safely skip axillary surgery—with no difference in outcomes.

🔍 Ongoing studies like the Alliance and B-54 trials are exploring:
✅ Can axillary node dissection be omitted for node-positive patients?
✅ Can radiation be scaled back safely in select cases?

These studies could mean fewer side effects and better quality of life for many breast cancer patients. Watch the full presentation: https://youtu.be/rocf_o-h4dw
