Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV for continuing a thoughtful series on treatment of depression and key principles of algorithmic treatment and key aspects of antidepressant use. This is a modest yield podcast as there will be questions regarding principles in this podcast that are likely to show up in tests. Thank you Jason Hemingway, OMS IV and Natalie Pratt, OMS IV for participating in the discussion.

Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV for developing this topic. Thank you Natalie Pratt, OMS IV and Jamon Hemingway OMS IV for participating.

This is a high yield discussion about principles that are tested on board and shelf exams.

Thank you Nuriya Gadiwalla, OMS III for developing this important and fascinating topic. Thank you Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV and Ray Kwong OMS III for participating. 

This presentation has limited benefit for shelf preparation, but seemed to provide a great deal of education to students (and me) to help provide better care for my patients.

Thank you Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV for developing the concept of focusing on learning around a neurotransmitters and neuroanatomy.  Also participating were Nuriya Gadiwalla, OMS III; Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV and Natalie Pratt, OMS IV.

This podcast has moderate yield regarding high value topics about dopamine and how this neurotransmitter and the location of this neurotransmitter matter for psychiatric illness and for side effects of medications.

Thank you Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV; Natalie Pratt, OMS IV and Nuriya Gadiwalla, OMS III for the discussion. This was an unplanned presentation that involved discussions about principles that seem to be commonly used in examination settings. This seems to be high yield.

Thank you to Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV who helped to introduce this topic. Thank you also Nuriya Gadiwalla OMS III and Natalie Pratt, OMS IV for participating.

Note that this has limited yield for students preparing for their shelf exam. It does set the stage for exploration of algorithmic treatment of depression in a series of podcasts that are anticipated to follow.

Thank you Ray Kwong, OMS III for developing the topic and finding the great articles! Thank you Brandon Trujillo OMS IV and Natalie Pratt, OMS IV for participating.

This podcast is of minimal shelf exam benefit. It does address the key issues of recognition of Tourette's Syndrome and treatment that may show up on practice tests and shelf exams.

This article by Kevin Black describes the ongoing research into tics and a great summary of current information about the condition. It is freely available through Pubmed: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7316401/

Aripiprazole and Haloperidol have FDA indications for treatment of Tourette's, but not Risperidone.

The correct pronunciation of Premonitory (very different than how we were saying it)! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kaGcByXeDE

ed 8/25/2020 to include correct pronunciation of "Premonitory"

Brief description of Borderline Personality Disorder with a discussion about the quality of evidence of current therapies. Specific comments are made to help with board preparation. Thank you Jamon Hemingway OMS IV for developing this topic! Modest yield for the boards.

There is an error regarding the use of Discrete in discussing the data for outcomes. The correct word should be dichotomous.

The early part of this podcast has little value for the shelf exam. The end of the discussion seemed to open up a number of gems to consider during prep. The last 10 minutes is of moderate value. 

There is a growing literature on the effect of Gut Flora on mental health and though tantalizing, the research seems to be in very early stages.

Thank you Natalie Pratt, OMS IV for developing the very broad and interesting topic. Also participating in the discussion are Brandon Trujillo, OMS IV; Raymond Kwan, OMS III; and Nuriya Gadiwalla, OMS III all from Rocky Vista University.

Thank you Dallas Earnshaw, APRN, CNS, BS; Lance Earnshaw, OMS III; Jamon Hemingway, OMS IV for participating in this presentation. 

This presentation addresses reasons for the pause in podcasts and the approach the Utah State Hospital has used to reduce the risk to patients in a high risk setting.

The benefit for students in terms of the shelf exam is limited. For students interested in an example of excellent medical leadership, this is a very meaningful podcast.

One additional note, The comments about risk to patients were based on this article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5157923/ Population based evidence suggests that antipsychotic use reduces mortality for people who have schizophrenia https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19595447/ Unforunately, people that have schizophrenia have higher mortality rates than the general population and are at higher risk based on those factors as well as factors related to being in an enclosed facility that is much like a nursing home.
