This podcast will review the murmurs on the PANCE as well as provide you with the audio sounds to burn them into your brain
The red eye. Could be something, could be nothing…but everyone gets sent home from work or school. Conjunctivitis is a condition that is actually really easy to see the differences once you know what you are looking for (get it). This episode we will break down the different types of conjunctivitis, the causes, the symptoms, and the treatment of one of the more common ocular conditions you will see in clinical practice.

In this episode, I have Wes Johnson, PA-C, (soon to be) DHSc, and former RT, on the show to discuss the basics of the ventilator. We talk about modes, delivery, PEEP, and everything you need to know about setting up a patient on the vent

Peptic Ulcer Disease is a condition I think gets thrown around a lot, both in the medical and non-medical worlds, so I figured we would tackle this disease for the October GI podcast.

This is the Student Spotlight Series of the PAINE Podcast. The purpose of these interviews is to give prospective students (and current students) a glimpse into the mind of a PA student. I ask a standard set of 10 questions to dive into what drove them into the medical profession, why they choose to be PA, what surprised them about PA school, and tips/pearls/strategies on how to be a successful PA student.

A few weeks back I had received an email from one of my former students (and previous Student Spotlight guest, Taylor Stefaniak) about electrolyte questions that have come up in the clinical year. Since my first a publication that made me a published author was on clinical management of electrolytes, I thought this would be a good topic for the podcast. So we will tackle a few of these questions now, and most likely revisit this from time to time as it can be difficult for clinical students.

I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how to breakdown musculoskeletal topics because tackling something like “hip pain” can be very tedious and doesn’t lend itself well to the podcasting medium. So I thought what I would do for MSK topics is put it into joints and do multiple parts over the years to cover all the conditions you need to know. So for this episode, we will be hitting Hip Disorders, specifically talking about avascular necrosis and slipped capital femoral epiphysis.

This episodes is a dry run of a talk I will be given at the 2017 TAPA Fall Fest. It is also the talk I gave at the 2015 AAPA conference on "Evidence Based Approach to PTE". We will cover the signs and symptoms, clinical decision instruments, work-up, risk assessment, severity classifications, and treatment of PTE.

This installment we are covering small bowel obstruction since it is surgery month on the PAINE Podcast. This is a short and sweet episode on one of the more common reasons for surgical consultation in clinical practice.

Ok…I admit. This episode is low hanging fruit. But to be fair, I did cover “Approach to Sore Throat in Children” last year because it is so common in pediatric practice. Acute Otitis Media (AOM) rounds out the other “most common” condition to give you a big chunk of outpatient and emergency medicine reasons for a pediatric visit. We will cover everything you ever wanted to know about AOM, including the indications for tympanostomy tube placement.
The guest expert for this episode is Michelle Brown, Assistant Professor at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Clinical Laboratory Science Program.
Transfusion medicine is unique aspect of medicine that pretty much all subspecialties will interact with in the inpatient setting at some point. Today we will be discussing what products are available for transfusion, the indications and contraindications of transfusion, what the current guidelines recommend, and some of the behind the scenes considerations from our friends in the bloodbank and lab.

With more and more people getting diagnosed with cancer earlier and earlier, the chances you will treat a patient who is receiving, or has had, chemotherapy are increasing. CDC estimates ~650,000 patients per year receive outpatient chemotherapy. Since chemotherapy is designed to kill rogue cancer cells (some by sniper, some by nuke), you are bound to have some collateral damage. Today, we are joined by Chip Lange, of TOTAL EM, again to discuss side effects and complications of chemotherapy that you may see in your clinic or emergency department.

Menorrhagia…metrorrhagia….menometrorrhagia. These words can strike fear into the hearts of men….or the uteri of women.
Some of you may know what these mean….some of you may have no idea. These are old and busted terms used to described dysfunction uterine bleeding (which is also is old and busted), but I have found still permeates throughout the non-OB/GYN subspecialties. For this episode, we will cover the definition and classifications of abnormal uterine bleeding as defined by the Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) systems. We will most likely cover work-up and management in a subsequent episode.

For this episode, we will discuss everything you need to know about pericardial effusions and cardiac tamponade. One can be slowly progressive condition and the other can kill you. The trick is to know what can cause them, the presenting signs and symptoms, the diagnostic studies to see them, and the management of pericardial fluid problems.

Last episode for 2016 and my last episode in my office at UAB. It is also the holiday season and you will be getting together with family and friends…more than likely all crowded in a small house, snuggled up in a big comfy blanket on a cough or by fire. So what better topic to discuss while on your trip than scabies. I will go over the vector, epidemiology, how it is transmitted, signs and symptoms, and treatment of one of the more common mite skin infestations.

For those of you that know me, you know how much I loathe the eye. It gives me the heebeegeebees. I have worn glasses for 30yrs because I cant even come close to touching my eyeball for contacts…..and you can take your Lasiks surgery and shove it if you think you’re going to put those Clockwork Orange clamps on my peepers. NOTGONNADOIT. So in this light, we will tackle an ophthalmology topic for the HEENT block on the PAINE Podcast. I will discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology, types, signs and symptoms, and treatment of retinal detachment.

This is actually a special episode for the PAINE Podcast as I have the opportunity to do a joint-interview podcast with Chip Lange from TOTAL EM. This was the first time I got to dabble with a conversational-style podcast and I think it went pretty good. Chip and I had a great time doing it and will most definitely be doing more of these in the future.

Since so many conditions on the PANCE blueprint could be considered an emergency and warrant an ED visit, I thought I would tackle more of an approach to a chief complaint…since EM providers are the masters of the undifferentiated patient. For this episode, I will discuss the acutely dyspneic patient and how you can systematically approach these sometimes tenuous patients to rule-in/rule-out life-threatening conditions by history, physical exam, and ancillary studies.

For episode #21, I thought I would cover a less common (but extremely important) infection of the biliary tract: ascending cholangitis. We will discuss the pathogenesis, bacterial epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic tests, and management of a potentially life-threatening disease.

Schizophrenia is one of the most costly behavioral medicine disease across the world and contributes to a significant decrease in quality of life and life expectancy. This episode with review the epidemiology of schizophrenia, the risk factors and known pathogenesis, signs and symptoms of the disease, the DSM-V definition and diagnostic requirements, and a brief overview of antipsychotics.

Parathyroid dysfunction is not a very common condition in the grand scheme of endocrine disorders, but it has some nuances that can be picked up due to regular screening or incidental findings. For this episode, we will discuss PTH and its physiologic effects, the signs and symptoms of both hyper- and hypoparathyroidism, the laboratory and radiographical studies to order if you suspect these conditions, and the medical and surgical management of both.
