Among adolescents, complaints regarding fatigue are relatively common and it’s been assumed to be associated with the hormonal changes of puberty, the various social conflicts common in adolescence and a variety of educational expectations. At times, fatigue becomes chronic and may be accompanied by other physical symptoms including mood disorders, headaches, musculoskeletal pains, and various GI symptoms. When chronic fatigue in adolescence has been investigated, no single causal factor has been found and its likely to be multi-factorial. The topic for this podcast is “Chronic Fatigue in Adolescents” and we’ll discuss this with our guest Philip R. Fischer, M.D., a pediatrician from the Department of Pediatrics at the Mayo Clinic.

It’s estimated that between 2% and 3% of the population has some form of valvular heart disease and this increases with age. Most of these patients are initially cared for by primary care providers. Most valvular disease deaths are due to disease of the aortic valve and it’s important to recognize these patients early in order to assess for progression and the need for surgical intervention. What are the presenting symptoms of aortic valve disease? What’s the best way to manage and follow these patients and when should a cardiologist and cardiac surgeon become involved in the care of the patient? In this podcast, we’ll discuss these questions and more with cardiologist Rekha Mankad, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic.

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.

Mayo Clinic Project ECHO™ (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes) seeks to be a force multiplier to share academic clinical knowledge with health care providers who practice in rural and underserved areas and want to increase their knowledge of how to identify and treat liver disease. During regularly scheduled ECHO sessions, via Zoom, participants will learn to assess and risk-stratify patients to identify liver disease. Interactive didactics will be presented in the context of “All Teach. All Learn.” CME credit will be awarded to participants, at no cost. Through the ECHO model, local providers are trained by academic specialists. As a result of this training higher quality healthcare will be delivered locally, disease progression is arrested, steps are made toward health equity in marginalized demographics, and population health outcomes are improved. The aim of Mayo Clinic Project ECHO is to effectively improve the capacity of clinicians treating liver disease throughout Mayo Clinic Health System to improve patient outcomes. The project is a collaborative model of medical education and care management that helps providers deliver care to patients with chronic liver disease. The project strives to narrow gaps in healthcare disparities for unrepresented minority populations and reduce the burden on the patients by allowing improved access to specialty care. Why is ECHO Important? Prevalence of Liver Disease Liver disease is a significant health concern that is often silent. It is estimated that 35% of the US population suffers from silent liver disease. Liver disease encompasses a range of conditions that affect the liver’s function and structure, including steatotic liver disease (previously known as fatty liver), alcoholic liver disease, viral hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and more. If liver disease is diagnosed and addressed early, the consequences can be mitigated, and patient outcomes are much improved.

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. Our guest for this podcast is Christy L. Hunt, D.O., a Pain Medicine specialist at the Mayo Clinic.
