Dr. Dorman reviews what chronic cough is and how it may be due to anatomical changes, acid reflux, allergies, and so on. Because of this, the doctor explains, sufferers of cough may end up going around the "carousel" of chronic cough, where they end up seeing their primary care specialist, a GI doctor, an Ear, Nose & Throat (ENT) specialist, pulmonary physicians, and an allergist and immunologist like himself. The duo then tackle what can be done, from medications, new research, and non-medicinal treatments. Be a part of advancing science by participating in clinical research.

    PCOS to PMOS, Changes in Name and Treatment Options

    Send us Fan Mail OBGYN Dr. Richard Myers joins Dr. Erich Schramm to discuss the name change from Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) to Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (PMOS). This syndrome is the combination of three parts: increased polyendocrine hormones (like insulin and androgens), changing metabolism, and differences in ovarian function Dr. Myers explains that the name change to PMOS reflects the changing understanding and focus of the syndrome from a purely ovarian-centered approach to a more holistic, full-body treatment regimen. The doctors also discuss how different patient desires drive different treatment options and the need for individualized, patient-centered care. They finish by looking at new treatments, including GLP-1 and GIP medications that can help address the underlying metabolic components of the PMOS.

    Skin Deep: What's New in Treating Chronic Skin Conditions

    Send us Fan Mail Dermatologist Dr. Michael Bernhardt joins Dr. Mitchell Rothstein to discuss the rapidly changing and improving world of chronic skin condition. The two doctors discuss the correlation between chronic skin conditions and allergies, and the role that inflammation play in both. The docs then dive deep into our inflammation system. This informs the next section of the podcast, where the Drs. Bernhardt and Rothstein talk about the landscape of chronic skin condition medications. They explain that these conditions had poor outcomes and ineffective medicines for decades, and that this picture has only changed in the last 4-5 years with new medications that work from the inside out instead of the outside in. They talk about new generations of medication that target the inflammatory signals themselves inside the body, showing rapid relief to otherwise untreatable conditions. They finish with a brief look at what is coming down the pipeline of clinical trials. Be a part of advancing science by participating in clinical research. Have a question for Dr. Koren?
