Overview: The COVID-19 epidemic resulted in overflowing ICUs and significant numbers of deaths among older adults. A recent study looked at the differences in outcomes between patients admitted with “No-code” vs “CPR” status and found no difference for high-risk individuals. Listen to this brief podcast to explore the data from this study and, in turn, give patients the information they need to make informed decisions regarding their desired code status on their advanced directives.

Overview: In 2015, a landmark study, LEAP (Learning Early About Peanut Allergy), found that early introduction to peanuts, at 4 to 6 months, significantly reduced the incidence of peanut allergies in all children but especially in those at high risk for allergies. A recent survey of pediatric residents and attendings in a large academic center regarding knowledge and implementation of the guidelines uncovered a significant knowledge gap impacting the health of children. Join us as we discuss this gap and review the guidelines for preventing peanut allergies in infants and children.

Overview: We will review the general treatment approach to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and the risks of using proton pump inhibitors (PPI) for long durations. In particular, we will examine a new study that links PPI use, in comparison with H2 receptor antagonist (H2RA) use, with a significant increase in the risk of gastric cancer. This episode will highlight the importance of looking at PPIs on a medication review and evaluating whether patients are taking them for longer than needed.

Overview: Pharmacogenomic testing has been suggested as a way to personalize medicine, particularly where the metabolism of medications can vary significantly. Unfortunately, despite increasing use of this testing, there has been little evidence showing a benefit in clinical outcomes. Listen to this podcast to explore the data on clinical outcomes for pharmacogenetic testing and how to best select medication for patients with depression.

Overview: Millions of Americans take Vitamin D supplementation to prevent a variety of illnesses, from COVID-19 and osteoporosis to heart disease and cancer. While most studies have failed to show a benefit in preventing COVID-19, heart disease, and cancer, the evidence has been mixed, at best, in showing benefits for preventing bone fractures. Despite this, vitamin D supplementation remains popular for fracture prevention. Join us to review a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine that failed to find any benefits for preventing fractures.
