OVERVIEW:

In this episode of Pediatrics Now, host Holly Wayment dives into an engaging conversation with Dr. Ed Brooks, a leading authority in Allergy, Immunology, and Infective Disease from the University of Texas Health Science Center. We explore rising pollen allergies, the impact of our surroundings on our immune responses, and the crucial role of early intervention in managing allergies. Dr. Brooks highlights climate change's onset on worsening spring allergy seasons and the significant role our homes, lifestyles, and cleanliness habits play in shaping our immunological responses.

Discussing our societal transition from rural to urban settings, the growing obsession with cleanliness, and our minimal exposure to environmental microorganisms, Dr. Brooks relates all these aspects with the abnormal immune responses noticed today. Interestingly, he also acquaints us with how owning pets at home and spending more time outdoors can lead children to develop superior immunity.

We also delve into dangerous chemicals present in our daily lives, with Dr. Brooks advising the reduction of potent cleaning agents and pesticides. Meanwhile, he signifies the need for exposure to natural environments and warns against the potential hazards of harmful external contaminants entering our homes.

As the episode continues, we discuss practical challenges connected to immunotherapy. Dr. Brooks talks about his son's success story in treating severe cat allergies with sublingual drops while emphasizing the risk of non-standardized extracts leading to inconsistency in allergy shots or drops' potency levels. We also discover some intriguing research findings tied to the immune-boosting benefits for individuals frequently exposed to their allergens.

In the final segment, we venture into the realm of immune deficiencies, with Dr. Brooks explaining the severity of immune deficiencies and their potential treatments. We wrap the episode with a review of the progress in identifying and managing immune deficiencies with the help of genetic testing advancements.

The Latest Health News from Pediatrics Now  in Small Bites for Parents.

OVERVIEW:
 Welcome to Pediatrics Now for Parents. In this episode of Host Holly Wayment is joined by Dr. Ed Brooks, the Division Chief of Allergy, Immunology, and Infectious Disease at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. With 30 years of experience in his field, Dr. Brooks revisits our show to discuss the updates to the national asthma guidelines.

He explains the significant change in the guidelines – the recommendation to use inhaled corticosteroids as needed during certain situations, such as during viral infections in children with intermittent but severe episodes of asthma. The update also includes a call for SMART (Single Maintenance And Reliever Therapy), which involves the use of a combination inhaler, like budesonide plus formaterol for people with moderate persistent asthma.

According to the new guidelines, individuals can utilize this combination up to eight puffs a day for children under 12, and up to 12 puffs a day for those older than 12. The data showed that the overall exposure to corticosteroids was less using SMART therapy, which signifies a significant reduction in hospitalizations or the need for oral corticosteroids.

Dr. Brooks also addressed concerns about medication shortages, advising that all inhaled steroids are about equal, and in instances of shortages, it would be safe to revert to a two-inhaler system. Join us for more insights on the updated asthma control guidelines. Talk to your pediatrician for more information.

The Latest Health News from Pediatrics Now  in Small Bites for Parents.

OVERVIEW:
Welcome to Pediatrics Now for Parents. In this episode, Host Holly Wayment talks to  Dr. J.B. Cantey, a double board certified neonatologist and infectious disease expert with a Master's in public health. The measles outbreak across 15 states in the USA and its link to insufficient vaccination rates is the central topic of our discussion.

Dr. Cantey brings to light a crucial perspective, stating that the success of past vaccinations has led to a degree of out-of-sight, out-of-mind complacency. Diseases like polio, diphtheria, rubella, and measles, are now less of an immediate concern due to vaccination successes, which unfortunately leads to falling vaccination rates. However, failure to vaccinate children could potentially lead to the re-emergence of these diseases.

We also discuss the alarming decrease in contemporary vaccination rates and its causes, such as parent uncertainty, hesitation, and misinformation. Our focus then shifts to measles, as Dr. Cantey expounds the crucial role of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine and emphasizes the importance of vaccinating children, irrespective of their age. We explore the potential severity of measles and the life-threatening complications it could lead to if left untreated.

Toward the end of the podcast, we provide detailed guidance for parents who have kids that missed their vaccines. Dr. Cantey strongly recommends seeking trusted healthcare advice and, unless a child is an exception, vaccinating them ASAP before potential exposure to infectious diseases. We round off our discussion by addressing concerns about areas with low vaccination rates and their implications on preventing outbreaks like measles.

JB Cantey, MD, MPH is an Assistant Professor in Pediatrics at UT Health San Antonio. Dr. Cantey’s bio

OVERVIEW:

This episode of Pediatrics Now with host Holly Wayment brings on renowned neonatologist and infectious disease expert, Dr. J.B. Cantey. The focus of this gripping discussion is the recent measles outbreak in 15 U.S. states, with specific attention on Florida. The conversation illuminates the dire outcomes resulting from insufficient vaccination rates across multiple communities. Dr. Cantey provides expert insights into the highly contagious nature of the measles virus. He warns about the grave implications of low vaccination rates and emphasizes the immediate need for increased education on the effectiveness and safety of vaccines.

In an effort to arm all listening pediatricians tackling anti-vaccination, Dr. Cantey offers practical advice whilst highlighting the essential role vaccines play in child health and what to say to patients. He outlines the importance of calm, consistent, and positive communication while providing fact-based, impartial information about the advantages and secure safety records of vaccines.

Further expanding the conversation, Dr. Cantey and Wayment discuss the long-term benefits of vaccines, including the prevention of both liver and cervical cancers. The episode concludes with an impassioned plea to all pediatric practitioners to champion the crucial importance of vaccinations in ensuring a healthier future for children globally.

Culled from a deep-dive discussion with Dr. J.B. Cantey from the University of Texas Health Science Center, this informative podcast episode offers profound insights into the world of vaccinations. It covers everything from the journey of vaccine trials to the threats posed by declining MMR vaccination rates. The show also highlights the urgent need for post-market surveillance for maintaining vaccine safety, coupled with the responsibility of pediatricians in identifying measles cases amid decreasing vaccination rates. The gravity of measles implications and its rapid contagion are also examined.

With Florida being described as the 'tipping point,' this podcast is a wake-up call about the very real threat of measles becoming endemic, potentially negating decades of diligent public health efforts.

OVERVIEW:
Join Host and author Holly Wayment in a conversation with Dr. Alice Gong, a pediatrician with 40 years of experience and president of the Texas Pediatric Society. Our podcast discussion delves deep into the topic of early relational health: exploring how it affects a child’s entire life. Dr. Gong shares her experiences and insights as a doctor, grandmother, and advocate for nurturing children’s growth and development within a secure, stable, and fostering environment.

Dr. Gong emphasizes that meaningful, early relationships play a crucial role in brain development for children, and affect their abilities to learn, explore, and integrate within societal confines. She talks about how strong, caring bonds prevent behavioral issues such as tantrums, and stresses the importance of understanding and responding to a child's needs, reinforcing secure attachment.

Reflecting on the earliest signs of Autism, Dr. Gong emphasizes the importance of eye contact with newborn babies as a medium of communication. She provides an intimate account of her initial experiences as a mother and the impact of this discovery on her own parenting approach. Dr. Gong encourages parents to follow nature’s design, nurturing and responding to a baby’s needs for accomplishing optimal regulation of the autonomic nervous system, critical for healthy physiological functions in humans.

Bringing social issues into focus, Dr. Gong reflects on the need for maternity leave policies that facilitate a mother’s ample time with their newborns. She highlights the potential concerns of ignoring a child’s demands, understating the importance of an essential early relationship in the child’s mental health. Relating to the common parental practice of “time-outs”, Dr. Gong suggests healthier alternatives to calm your child that can foster a positive parent-child relationship.

Exploring the controversial topic of corporal punishment, Dr. Gong discusses its possible impact on a child’s emotional development. She encourages open conversations about feelings between parents and children, cultivating empathy in children and promoting non-violence.

In conclusion, Dr. Gong urges parents to allow children to express their full range of emotions and supports them in all situations.
