Hormone Therapy for High-Risk Prostate Cancer | Prostate Cancer Staging Guide
Hormone Therapy for High-Risk Prostate Cancer | Prostate Cancer Staging Guide Side Effects 4 Views • 3 months ago

PCRI’s Executive Director, Mark Scholz, MD, discusses the use of hormone therapy for men with Azure (High-Risk) prostate cancer. He covers why it is necessary for men with high-risk disease and talks about the three categories of hormone therapy.

0:28 Men with Azure are generally given hormone therapy because there is a higher risk of spread outside the prostate. Hormone therapy is a systemic treatment that acts on the entire body, not just the prostate. It is effective, and its side effects are reversible. Compared to chemotherapy, another systemic treatment, it is more effective and has far fewer side effects.

1:23 The three categories of hormone therapy. Hormone therapy, also known as testosterone inactivating pharmaceuticals (TIP) comes in three different strengths. The first and least potent category of hormone therapy is the “anti-androgens.” Common examples of these drugs are Casodex and Nilutamide. The second category and the most commonly used type of hormone therapy are the “LHRH Agonists” drugs such as Lupron, Eligard, and Trelstar. The last category is the second generation hormonal agents that operate differently than the previous categories. Examples of these are Erleada, Xtandi, and Zytiga. You don’t want more hormone therapy than what is necessary because of added side effects.

2:43 Hormone therapy for the different subtypes of Azure. Each subtype of azure requires different amounts of hormone therapy. High-risk prostate cancer should be treated with a combination of radiation, seed implants, and hormone therapy, but the amount of hormone therapy can differ depending on the subtype. Low-Azure only requires 4-6 months of Lupron and Casodex. Basic-Azure needs between 18-24 months for optimal cure rates. And High azure needs 18-24 months possibly with the addition of a second generation TIP such as Erleada, Xtandi, or Zytiga.

4:12 Summary. The amount of hormone therapy depends on the subtype of prostate cancer. Many studies have shown that Low-Azure only requires a short course of hormone therapy and High-Azure can benefit from adding second generation hormone therapy.

Dr. Paul Mason - 'The shady truth about statins'
Dr. Paul Mason - 'The shady truth about statins' Side Effects 4 Views • 3 months ago

This lecture is part 2 of 3 delivered by Dr Mason at the Low Carb Down Under Gold Coast conference in October 2022. Dr Mason exposes the catastrophic harms caused by the first cholesterol lowering drug, Triparanol, and the guilty verdict that followed.

This is followed by a brief history of statins, including the high rates of cancer in test animals seen with the first statin to come to market, and the massive (+$1,000,000,000) legal payouts made to settle lawsuits from statin side effects.

Specific statin side effects, including dementia are covered, followed by a close analysis of the measurable benefits that may be attributed to statins. This includes a review of a recent paper co-authored by David Diamond, Ben Bikman and Paul Mason that discusses how to identify who is likely and not likely to benefit from statin therapy using triglyceride and LDL levels.

https://journals.lww.com/co-en....docrinology/fulltext

Dr Paul Mason obtained his medical degree with honours from the University of Sydney. He is also a fellow of the Australasian College of Sports and Exercise Physicians, holds a Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy and a Masters degree in Occupational Health. He is currently Chief Medical Officer of the Defeat Diabetes program, an evidence-based program focussed on lifestyle management of metabolic illnesses, including type 2 diabetes.

An Unusual Side Effect of Acyclovir: Junctional Rhythm-Poonam Patel
An Unusual Side Effect of Acyclovir: Junctional Rhythm-Poonam Patel Side Effects 4 Views • 3 months ago

Co-Authors: Vagharsh Antanesian, MD MPH, Internal Medicine, PGY 3,Norton Community Hospital Norton, VA

Introduction: Acyclovir, an antiviral agent primarily targeting Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) infections, presents predominantly mild adverse effects such as malaise (10%), gastrointestinal symptoms, and elevated liver function tests (1-10%). However, more severe complications, notably associated with intravenous administration, encompass rare occurrences of acute renal failure, neurological toxicity, and sporadic cases of bradycardia. A review of literature revealed 2 instances linking acyclovir to bradycardia, with no documented reports on junctional rhythm. A phase IV clinical study examining FDA data identified 1,424 individuals encountering side effects from Acyclovir, with only 6 individuals (0.42%) reporting bradycardia, primarily observed in males aged 60 and above using the medication for less than a month. Here we report a rare case of junctional rhythm caused by acyclovir.

Vitamin E plays many roles in our body. It’s perhaps best known for its antioxidant effects, protecting your cells from oxidative damage by neutralizing harmful molecules called free radicals. In addition, it’s needed for proper immune function and cellular signalling.
Though vitamin E is often thought of as a single compound, it’s actually a group of eight fat-soluble compounds with powerful antioxidant effects.
Of these eight chemical forms, alpha-tocopherol best meets the dietary requirements of humans.
Vitamin E exists naturally in certain foods, including seeds, nuts, some vegetables, and some fortified products. You can also take it as a dietary supplement.

Help Reduce Risk of Serious RSV Lung Infection for Your Baby
Help Reduce Risk of Serious RSV Lung Infection for Your Baby Side Effects 4 Views • 3 months ago

Did you know while hospitalization is uncommon, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of hospitalization for babies under 1? RSV season is typically fall – spring but can vary by local areas and today I'm sharing about a preventative antibody which can help protect against severe RSV lung infections. I'm joined by Shawn Johnson East and Dr. Natalie Barnett, Vice President of Clinical Research at Nanit, to discuss the importance of RSV protection for babies. They share personal experiences, including Shawn's family's journey with RSV, and offer expert insights on how parents can help protect their little ones during RSV season.

They join me to discuss:

• How RSV is common and can be a serious virus for infants.
• Beyfortus (nirsevimab-alip) 50mg and 100mg Injection, a preventative antibody that helps give babies an extra layer of protection against severe RSV lung infection for babies under age 1 born during or entering their first RSV season and certain kids up to 24 months. Your child should not take Beyfortus if your child has a history of serious allergic reactions to nirsevimab-alip or any of the ingredients in Beyfortus. Beyfortus may not protect all children.
• That parenting can be scary but navigating the journey with monitors like Nanit, and knowledge of prevention measures for RSV can be empowering.


To connect with Shawn Johnson East follow her on Instagram @shawnjohnson. Visit Nanit.com to see their products and learn more about their research. For more about Beyfortus visit

We love the sponsors that make this show possible! You can always find all the special deals and codes for all our current sponsors on the PedsDocTalk Podcast Sponsorships page of the website.


INDICATION
Beyfortus is a prescription medicine used to help prevent a serious lung disease caused by Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) in:
• Newborns and babies under 1 year of age born during or entering their first RSV season.
• Children up to 24 months of age who remain at risk of severe RSV disease through their second RSV season.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Your child should not take Beyfortus if your child has a history of serious allergic reactions to nirsevimab-alip or any of the ingredients in Beyfortus.

Before your child receives Beyfortus, tell your healthcare provider about all of your child’s medical conditions, including if your child:
• has ever had a reaction to Beyfortus.
• has bleeding or bruising problems. If your child has a problem with bleeding or bruises easily, an injection could cause a problem.

Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines your child takes, including prescription and over-the- counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Your infant should not receive a medicine called palivizumab if they have already received Beyfortus in the same RSV season.

Serious allergic reactions have happened with Beyfortus. Get medical help right away if your child has any of the following signs or symptoms of a serious allergic reaction:
• swelling of the face, mouth, or tongue
• difficulty swallowing or breathing
• unresponsiveness
• bluish color of skin, lips, or under fingernails
• muscle weakness
• severe rash, hives, or itching

The most common side effects of Beyfortus include rash and pain, swelling, or hardness at the site of your child’s injection. These are not all the possible side effects of Beyfortus. Call your healthcare provider if you have questions about side effects.

Citalopram or Celexa Medication Information (dosing, side effects, patient counseling)
Citalopram or Celexa Medication Information (dosing, side effects, patient counseling) Side Effects 4 Views • 3 months ago

Your Medication Citalopram

Citalopram is also known as the brand name: Celexa

Citalopram is most commonly used for depression and mood changes, but also used for eating disorders, OCD, and hot flashes. No matter what your doctor has you taking it for, citalopram is usually taken by mouth once daily and, it is safe to take either with meals or on an empty stomach. It may take up to 4 weeks before you see the full benefit from taking it. DO NOT stop taking at once, if your doctors tells you to stop taking it then you will go from your normal dose and decrease to a smaller dose every week until you are off the medication.

Standard dosing of citalopram ranges from: 10 mg to 40 mg

Some common side effects with citalopram include feeling tired or not being able to sleep, sweating, nausea, yawning or dry mouth.
Some less common side effects with citalopram include diarrhea, change in sex drive, erection lasting longer than 4 hours, shaking or muscle weakness, nervousness, or runny nose.

Do not take citalopram if you have had any thoughts of suicide.

While taking citalopram, remember it is important to tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have:
• If you have ever had any heart problems
• Any worsening depression or suicidal thoughts
• Headache, trouble focusing, memory problems, weakness, seizures could be signs of low sodium
• Vomiting blood, blood in urine, black or red stools, increase in period bleeding, or lots of bruising could be a sign of bleeding

The amount of calcium in circulation is MAINLY regulated by 2 hormones: parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitriol. PTH is produced in the parathyroid gland while calcitriol is made in the kidney. When serum calcium level is low, PTH is UP-regulated. PTH acts to PROMOTE calcium release from bones and REDUCE calcium loss from urine. At the same time, it stimulates production of calcitriol, which promotes absorption of calcium in the small intestine while also INcreases RE-absorption in the kidney. Together, they bring UP calcium levels back to normal. The REVERSE happens when calcium level is high. This feedback loop keeps serum calcium concentrations within the normal range.
HYPERcalcemia is generally defined as serum calcium level GREATER than 2.6 mmol/L. Because the total serum calcium includes albumin-bound and free-ionized calcium, of which only the LATTER is physiologically active, calcium levels must be corrected to account for albumin changes. For example, INcreased albumin levels produce HIGHER serum calcium values but the amount of FREE calcium may STILL be normal. On the other hand, in conditions with low blood pH, albumin binds LESS calcium; releasing MORE FREE calcium while the total serum calcium may appear normal.
Most symptoms of hypercalcemia can be attributed to the effect it has on action potential generation in neurons. High levels of extracellular calcium INHIBIT sodium channels, which are essential for DEpolarization. Hypercalcemia therefore REDUCES neuronal excitability, causing confusion, lethargy, muscle weakness and constipation. In most cases, excess calcium in the blood is a direct result of calcium release from bones as they break down, becoming weak and painful. As the kidneys try to get rid of the extra calcium, MORE water is also removed, resulting in dehydration, excessive thirst and kidney stones. Extremely high extracellular calcium may also affect cardiac action potentials, causing arrhythmias. Typical ECG findings include short QT interval, and in severe cases, presence of Osborn waves.
While hypercalcemia may result from a variety of diseases and factors, HYPERparathyroidism and cancers are responsible for about 90% of cases, with the former being by far the most common cause. In HYPERparathyroidism, PTH is OVERproduced due to benign or malignant growths within the parathyroid gland.
An existing cancer elsewhere in the body can cause hypercalcemia in 2 major ways. First, some cancer cells produce a protein similar to PTH, called PTHrP, which acts like PTH to increase serum calcium. Unlike PTH, however, PTHrP is NOT subject to negative feedback; consequently, calcium levels may keep rising unchecked. Second, cancers may spread to bone tissues, causing bone resorption or osteolysis, and subsequent calcium release into the blood.
Hypercalcemia treatment consists of lowering blood calcium levels with a variety of drugs, and addressing the underlying cause. While treatment outcome for hyperparathyroidism is generally excellent, prognosis for malignancy-related hypercalcemia is poor, possibly because it usually occurs in later stages of cancer.
