Laser-Guided Therapy to Kill Brain Tumor Cells With Heat

Neurology and Neurosurgery ·

2009/03/23

Guest: Gene Barnett, MD Host: Mark Nolan Hill, MD Even after surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, many brain tumors appear frustratingly unresponsive to treatment. Part of the trouble is that malignancies can be very difficult to reach with conventional therapy. A novel fiber-optic laser that employs heat therapy may provide unprecedented access to previously unresectable tumors, as well as added ability to focus heat directly on the tumor cells. Dr. Gene Barnett, director of the

Guest: Matthew A. Menza, MD Host: Larry Kaskel, MD Could tricyclic antidepressants be more effective at treating depression in patients with Parkinson's disease? They have been used since the 1950s for treatment of depression, but in recent years, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have become the predominant form of therapy. New research is suggesting that SSRIs may not be the best antidepressant option for our patients with Parkinson's. The lead author of this

Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson’s: Risks vs....

Neurology and Neurosurgery ·

2009/02/20

Guest: Matthew B. Stern, MD Host: Jennifer Shu, MD, FAAP Medication and physical therapy have been mainstay treatments for controlling neurologic symptoms associated with Parkinson's disease. One strategy for mitigating the characteristic tremors, rigidity and slow movement has focused on deep brain stimulation (DBS). What are the risks and benefits of this surgical intervention, when is it indicated, and how does it compare with medical treatment for Parkinson's? Host Dr. Jennifer

Migraines and Beyond: Narcotic Therapy and Pain Control

Neurology and Neurosurgery ·

2009/02/16

Guest: Joel Saper, MD Host: Mark Nolan Hill, MD Many physicians today feel overburdened by the task of pain management. The current state of pain management stands in sharp contrast to years past, when our options were once relatively limited in the treatment of pain associated with headaches and other ailments.

When to Prescribe Opioid Therapy for Headaches

Neurology and Neurosurgery ·

2009/02/16

In a portion of these cases, opioid medications are offered to help patients find relief. But prescription of opioids can present additional problems, including increasingly recurrent headaches. This leads us to the question: which of our patients should receive opioid therapy for their headaches? Dr. Joel

Neurology and Neurosurgery ·

2009/02/16

Guest: Peter Goadsby, MD, PhD Host: Mary Leuchars, MD Trigeminal autonomic cephalgias, or TACs, and their classifications are enough to give any clinician a headache.
