Tuberculosis remains a significant health concern. Globally, in 2023, an estimated 10 million individuals developed active tuberculosis and over one million died of the disease. In the U.S., just under 10, 000 individuals in the U.S. were diagnosed with TB, representing an increase over 2022. While tuberculosis remains a treatable disease, it’s important to suspect and recognize those who may have it. A class 5 tuberculosis case is part of a TB classification system and refers to a suspected tuberculosis infection that requires further investigation. Symptoms may or may not be present and these patients may have an active TB case that could be contagious. This podcast is about class 5 tuberculosis cases, and my guest is infectious disease specialist, John W. Wilson, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic.

Students in the various fields of medicine deal with a variety of stresses. Perhaps one of the biggest stresses is getting accepted into their respective school to begin their training. Once enrolled, they’re then provided a large amount of information to be memorized and essentially need to learn a new language. They have pressure to do well on exams and spend countless hours in study or on the wards. Many students deal with financial stresses, often graduating with a tremendous student loan debt. So, what’s life like as a student? How do students deal with these stresses? What’s the application procedure like and are there ways to increase the chances of getting accepted? Do our schools devote enough time to our students’ wellness and burn-out prevention? These are some of the questions we’ll cover in this podcast as we discuss “Life as a Student”. My three guests are all students in a variety of medical training programs. Mary Lang is a 2nd year medical student at the Mayo Alix School of Medicine after obtaining a degree in biomedical engineering. Caroline Gearin is a 2nd year physician assistant student at the Mayo Clinic School of Health Sciences and also has a bachelor’s degree in health science. Nick Winder is a 2nd year physical therapy student at the Mayo Clinic physical therapy doctoral program.

Pulmonary hypertension is an important medical condition and often underrecognized in primary care. It has a variety of causes, and its most common presenting symptom is dyspnea. As primary care clinicians, we often see patients with symptoms of dyspnea and pulmonary hypertension is not a health problem we commonly encounter. Yet, early recognition and diagnosis is important and has major implications for patient outcomes. What are some clues that a patient might have pulmonary hypertension? What are its most common causes and what are the potential complications if it goes unrecognized? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Robert L. Scott, M.D., Ph.D., from the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Arizona campus of the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Pulmonary Hypertension”.
