SUMMARY:Trauma Grand Rounds: The Not So Simple Ankle Fracture
DESCRIPTION:  \nJulius A. Bishop\, MD\, Associate Residency Program Director\, Stanford University School of Medicine\,\nAnkle fractures are among the most common injuries treated by orthopedic surgeons. While straightforward management will lead to successful outcomes in many cases\, some patients and some injuries are very challenging. This talk will address some of the difficult challenges in ankle fracture management and introduce strategies to optimize outcome. \nDr. Bishop specializes in treating fractures of the upper extremity\, lower extremity\, pelvis and acetabulum as well as the management of post-traumatic problems including malunion\, nonunion and infection. \nHe received his undergraduate and medical school degrees from Harvard University and went on to complete the Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program. He pursued his subspecialty training in Orthopaedic Traumatology at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle\, Washington. \nHis research interests include medical education\, studying clinical outcomes after musculoskeletal injury\, orthopaedic biomechanics\, the basic science of fracture healing\, and evaluating new strategies and techniques in fracture surgery. \nGap: \n\nThere are high rates of complications after surgical treatment of ankle fractures in geriatric and diabetic patients.\nThe best technique for reducing and stabilizing the ankle syndesmosis is unknown.\nThe appropriate indications and best techniques for posterior malleolus fracture treatment are controversial.\n\nDesired Outcomes: \n\nUnderstand how to optimize surgical treatment of ankle fracture in poor hosts.\nIdentify the best way to reduce and stabilize the syndesmosis.\nEstablish indications and techniques for posterior malleolus surgery.\n\nCME Activity Flyer (PDF)

SUMMARY:Cardiology Case Conference
DESCRIPTION:M. Kerala Serio\, M.D. FACP\, FACC\, Cardiology Service Director\, NMC; Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine\, UCSF\nwith M. Kerala Serio\, MD \n3 Different Patients with Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Requiring Non-Cardiac Surgery \nDual antiplatelet therapy\, DAPT\, is prescribed to millions of patients worldwide following coronary artery stenting. A significant number of these patients undergo non-cardiac surgery. This poses a significant dilemma because of the risk of stent thrombosis and myocardial infarct versus the risk of perioperative bleeding. 3 patients will be presented with 3 different common clinical scenarios\, leading to evidence-based discussion of practical strategies for managing perioperative antiplatelet therapy.  \nCME Activity Flyer (PDF)

SUMMARY:The Frequency and Impact of Stress and Burnout and Other Factors Affecting Physician Attitudes\, Behaviors\, and Patient Care
DESCRIPTION:Alan H. Rosenstein\, MD\, MBA\, Practicing Internist and Consultant in Physician Behavioral Management\, San Francisco\, CA\npresented by Alan H. Rosenstein\, MD\, MBA \n\nPhysicians are trained to provide best patient care. It takes years of dedicated time\, effort and commitment\, and the reward is the joy of practicing good medical care. But the changing nature and complexity of today’s health care environment is increasing physician levels of frustration\, anger\, cynicism\, and more\, leading to high levels of stress and burnout that has negatively impacted physician attitudes and behaviors toward patient care. We must recognize the seriousness of this issue and provide the necessary support and assistance to help physicians thrive and succeed in medical practice. \n\nDesired Outcomes: \n\nGain a better understanding of the timing\, incidence\, causes\, and impact of stress and burnout on health care practitioners;\nDiscuss the negative impact of stress and burnout on attitudes and behaviors that can adversely affect care relationships\, satisfaction\, patient safety\, and quality of care;\nLearn how to develop effective strategies to address stress and burnout and implement programs designed to enhance professional behaviors\, staff satisfaction\, and well- being;\nDiscuss the importance of collaborative strategies for early intervention geared to help health care professionals attain a healthier more satisfying personal and professional life.

SUMMARY:NMC Grand Rounds: Management of the Difficult Airway in Adults
DESCRIPTION:Roger S.

SUMMARY:Snake Bites
DESCRIPTION:Susan Spano\, MD\, Assistant Clinical Professor\, Health Science Series\, Emergency Medicine\, UCSF\npresented by Susanne Spano\, MD \nNorth America is home to 25 species of poisonous snakes. Approximately 8\,000 bites are reported in the United States annually\, with approximately 2\,000 delivered by venomous snakes. A bite from a venomous snake can be deadly\, and should always be treated as a medical emergency. Venomous snake bites can produce localized pain and swelling\, convulsions\, nausea\, and even paralysis. In the pediatric population\, most snakebites occur in school-aged children and adolescents close to home during the summer months. As the season for snakes is just beginning\, it is important for physicians to know the guidelines for treatment of snakebites. \nDesired Outcomes: \n\nRecognize the epidemiology of venomous snakebites in the southwest\nImplement acute care for victims of rattlesnake bites\nChoose the right antivenom (there are 2 FDA approved) and give the right amount\nAdminister inpatient and aftercare for patients suffering rattlesnake bites\nAddress common cultural misconceptions and/or beliefs surrounding snake bites and recognize when alternative treatments have been employed.

SUMMARY:PEDS Grand Rounds: Scoliosis
DESCRIPTION:KALI R. TILESTON\, MD\,Clinical Assistant Professor\, Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery\, Stanford Children’s Health && Sutter Health CPMC\npresented by:  Kali R. Tileston\, MD\, \nScoliosis \n\nScoliosis in adults is very different than scoliosis in children.\nMore than 600\,000 patients seek physician care annually for this disorder.\nApproximately 30\,000 children have back braces to manage scoliosis.\nModerate to severe adolescent scoliosis is eight times more common in girls than boys. \nA positive family history only increases the risk of adolescent scoliosis by twenty percent.\n\n\nBy understanding the differences of scoliosis conditions in children and adolescents\, the most effective treatments can be implemented. Scoliosis is rarely painful\, but if there is pain\, it is important to look for other causes of the pain.\n\n  \nDesired Outcomes: \n\nReview common causes of scoliosis: idiopathic\, congenital\, neuromuscular\nExamine clinical findings of scoliosis\nDiscuss with patients and parents the appropriate treatment and management options for patients with scoliosis\nConsider age and gender when evaluating for scoliosis in patients\n\nCME Activity Flyer (PDF)

SUMMARY:Personalized Oncology – Is it myth or reality?
DESCRIPTION:Arina Ganeles\, MD\, Hematologist\, Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula\npresented by Arina Ganeles\, MD\, Hematologist\, Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula \n\nEvery patient is different. Every tumor is different.  Personalized cancer treatment is a delivery of the right treatment\, based on the tumor genomics (somatic mutations) as well as on individual genetics (germ line mutations) of each patient.  The research into cancer biology is propelling rapid development of novel treatments targeting the key molecules that allow cancers to grow and spread. This strategy resulted in new targeted therapies for people living with advanced cancers of the lung\, breast\, and kidney\, as well as several hard-to-treat forms of blood cancer.  Today\, new molecular technologies can quickly pinpoint molecular changes in the tumor or free-floating cancer DNA in the blood. For a growing number of patients\, such changes can be matched to either existing targeted treatments or experimental treatments that are being tested in clinical trials. \n\n  \nDesired Outcomes: \n\nDefine ” Precision Oncology”\nIdentify the difference between the effect of chemotherapy and “target” therapy on cancer cells\nIdentify the role of Whole Genome Sequencing of tumor cell in treatment of cancer\nRecognize the difference between “somatic” and “germline” mutation\nDescribe the future direction of “precision medicine”\nApply new knowledge in conversations with patients and with appropriate referrals\n\nCME Activity Flyer (PDF)
