June 06, 2022STIs Part III: Gonorrhea and Chlamydia
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just updated guidelines for sexually transmitted infections (previously sexually transmitted diseases) for everything by HIV. In this multi-part series, host Geoff Wall will break down what’s new and what’s changing in practice.
The GameChanger
A 7-day course of doxycycline in the treatment of urogenital chlamydia is preferred and has been shown to be more efficacious compared to azithromycin. Ceftriaxone should be the treatment of choice for gonorrhea as there have been no “resistance”-related treatment failures identified in the United States at any anatomical site.

May 30, 2022STIs Part II: Herpes and Syphilis
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention just updated guidelines for sexually transmitted infections (previously sexually transmitted diseases) for everything by HIV. In this multi-part series, host Geoff Wall will break down what’s new and what’s changing in practice.

The GameChanger
NAAT testing is the standard of care for genital herpes, although false negatives can occur if lesions are healing. There is no difference in genital outbreaks when comparing episodic treatment and daily prophylaxis in herpes. Finally, one dose of long-acting penicillin IM has been shown to be sufficient in most patients with early syphilis.

The GameChanger

May 16, 2022Metformin, Men, and Birth Defects
A recent study evaluated the role of metformin in causing birth defects, but when the men are prescribed metformin. This obstetrics study evaluates the role of the partner in risk for birth defects. Does the study change practice? Listen as host Geoff Wall discusses how pregnancy involves both partners.

The GameChanger
Emerging data suggest that male metformin use during sperm development may increase the risk of birth defects, specifically among baby boys.

May 09, 2022 Sodium Reduction in Heart Failure
A low salt diet can be difficult to maintain, especially in the United States. Multiple guidelines and decades of practice have suggested dietary limitation of sodium for patients with heart failure as an essential lifestyle modification. The recently published SODIUM-HF study evaluates this recommendation and enhances the data.

The GameChanger

While a 20-25% reduction in serum sodium may not improve rates of hospitalization or mortality, it may improve a patient’s quality of life. Patients should be educated on how reducing sodium in their diet may improve their symptoms and increase their quality of life.

May 02, 2022 The Case Where a Medical Mistake Was Criminal

April 25, 2022 Reliever Inhaled Glucocorticoid Treatment
Reliever Inhaled Glucocorticoid Treatment
Black and Latinx patients are disproportionately impacted by asthma. In fact, asthma mortality rates are twice as high in Black patients compared to White patients. Are there different treatment options to help improve mortality in these populations? Join host Geoff Wall with guest Dr. Matt Trump as they discuss the PREPARE trial.
The GameChanger
Emerging data suggests that using a bronchodilator with an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) may improve asthma exacerbation symptoms in diverse patient populations. This is contrary to current standards of care that encourage the use of a short-acting bronchodilator alone.

April 18, 2022 Corticosteroids in Septic Shock
Septic shock is one of the most common causes of deaths in critically ill patients. The updated Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines provide recommendations on the use of adjunct steroids in the treatment of sepsis. However, when to start corticosteroids is still unknown – or is it? This episode of GameChangers evaluates the timing of corticosteroid use in sepsis.
The GameChanger
Corticosteroids are now recommended by the Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines in septic shock patients receiving pressors. Early initiation of corticosteroids has now been associated with decreased ICU length of stays and time on pressors.
