Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a chronic lung disease that can have significant impacts on a newborn’s overall respiratory health, making it imperative to know how to recognize and treat it. Tune in to hear Dr. Jennifer Shu talk about the symptoms, impacts, and treatment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia with Dr. Steven Abman, a Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and the Director of the Pediatric Heart Lung Center at Children’s Hospital Colorado.

The largest study to date on 4F-PCC was conducted as an FDA postmarketing requirement in partnership between Kaiser Permanente and CSL Behring. The purpose of this long-term study was to compare the 45-day risk of thromboembolic events and all-cause mortality in adults with warfarin-associated major bleeding after treatment with KCENTRA^®, Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (Human), or plasma. Take a deep dive into the data with Dr. Jennifer Caudle as she speaks with Dr. Michelle Kincaid, Trauma Surgeon and Director of Surgical Critical Care at Ohio Health Grant Medical Center in Columbus.

Patients presenting to the hospital with severe bleeding and underlying treatment with Factor Xa (FXa) or Factor IIa inhibitors represent an enormous challenge to providers and clinicians since the approvals of apixaban, edoxaban, rivaroxaban, and dabigatran within the United States. Intracranial bleeding, intra-abdominal or thoracic trauma, gastrointestinal bleeding, and bleeding from any non-compressible source represent true life-threatening emergencies. Treatment of severe bleeding in patients receiving Factor Xa and Factor IIa inhibitors currently involves using non-specific therapy such as blood factor replacement - packed red blood cells (pRBCs), fresh frozen plasma, and platelets. With the development and approval of reversal agents, treatment of severe bleeding can now be specifically directed at the source of the coagulopathy combined with appropriate blood factor replacement.

Nationally recognized guidelines have provided clear direction on how best to manage these types of major bleeding events. While published guidelines are an important resource in helping direct how to appropriately intervene, the inherent clinical and system challenge is as follows: How do I justify and juxtapose the clinical rationale for using a reversal agent with the inherent cost associated with it with a lack of comparative head-to-head studies? Our assessment of learners suggests that knowledge and …

Unfortunately, recognizing and diagnosing patients with bleeding disorders is only the first of many challenges. Once a diagnosis is reached, patients may face a variety of chronic health challenges and even altered family dynamics. Fortunately, recent treatments and developments—and even those on the horizon—can help alleviate the burden of bleeding disorders on patients and their loved ones. Join Dr. Jennifer Caudle as she uncovers those important efforts with Dr. Leonard Valentino, President and Chief Executive Officer at the National Hemophilia Foundation.

Host: Matthew Sorrentino, MD

In a groundbreaking procedure, a 57-year-old man with life-threatening heart disease received a heart from a genetically altered pig. Surgeons at the University of Maryland Medical Center performed the 8-hour operation, making it the first successful transplant of a pig's heart into a human being. And while much is still uncertain, what could this achievement mean for the future of organ transplantation? That’s what ReachMD hosts Dr. Matthew Sorrentino and Dr. Javed Butler explore together.

Please note: Since the date of publication, David Bennet, the patient who received a heart transplant from a pig, died at the age of 57 at the University of Maryland Medical Center on March 8, 2022.
