The lung is one of the most common organs transplanted, trailing transplants of kidney, liver, and heart, with over 2600 performed in 2022. Lung transplantation may involve transplanting either one or both lungs, and occasionally performed together with a heart transplant. Although some patients with a lung transplant have lived more than 10 years, only about half are alive after 5 years. In this podcast, we’ll discuss “When to Refer a Patient for a Lung Transplant”. Who’s a candidate for a lung transplant and when should we think about this for our patients? How successful is a lung transplant and what are conditions that would exclude a patient from the procedure? These are all questions I’ll be asking my guests, thoracic surgeon, Sahar Saddoughi, M.D., Ph.D., and pulmonologist, Kelly Pennington, M.D., both from the Mayo Clinic in honor of ‘National Donate Life Month’.

The first heart transplant patient survived only 18 days as the early attempts of heart transplantation were plagued by immune rejection of the transplanted organ. Today, thanks to the many advances in organ transplantation, heart transplant patients typically lead productive lives for years. 75% of heart transplant patients live at least 5 years and nearly 85% return to work. Who’s a candidate for a heart transplant? How long do patients typically wait for a heart transplant and when should we think about a heart transplant for our patients? These are questions I’ll be asking my guest, Drew N. Rosenbaum, M.D., a cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic. The topic for this podcast is “When to Refer a Patient for a Heart Transplant” in honor of 'National Donate Life Month'.

Guest: Zelalem Temesgen, M.D.

It’s thought that a variant of tuberculosis originated in East Africa around 3 million years ago with the current strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis dating back at least 20,000 years. Although easily spread from one person to another, not everyone infected develops active disease. The management of tuberculosis varies, and although there is a vaccine, it’s not commonly used in the U.S.  Effective pharmacologic treatment is available, however drug-resistant strains have presented challenges in some cases. This podcast is in recognition of World Tuberculosis Day, March 24, the day that Dr. Robert Koch reported Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. We’ll discuss the disease, it’s diagnosis and management with infectious disease specialist and Professor of Medicine, Zelalem Temesgen, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic.

Guest: John C. Lewis, M.D.

It’s estimated that 25 million people in the U.S. have asthma; this represents about 1 in every 13 individuals. It’s more common in females and is a leading cause of chronic disease in children. Asthma represents a common reason for an outpatient visit and is unfortunately, also a relatively common reason for hospitalization. Although it’s felt that almost all deaths from asthma are preventable with appropriate management, over 3,000 people per year die from asthma. How do we properly evaluate patients we suspect have asthma? What are the goals for their management and what are the current recommendations for treatment? For this podcast we’ll discuss an update in asthma with my guest, John C. Lewis, M.D., from the Division of Allergic Disease at the Mayo Clinic.

The number of midlife women transitioning into menopause is substantial with more than one million women in the U.S. entering menopause each year. Symptoms such as vasomotor symptoms (VMS), mood and sleep disturbances, and sexual problems are common during the menopause transition, yet often go untreated. Menopausal hormone therapy (HT) is often the preferred and most effective treatment option for menopausal symptoms. Dr. Juliana (Jewel) Kling joins the podcast to discuss this important topic.
