  • Sepsis: Understanding the body's extreme response to infection
    2024/09/04

    Sepsis, originally known as blood poisoning, is a life-threatening medical emergency. Tune in to learn about the complexities of sepsis diagnosis, the role of lactate and procalcitonin levels, and the global health challenge it poses. Hear from experts and a sepsis survivor about the advancements in identifying and managing this critical condition.

    Sepsis is the body’s extreme response to an infection. It occurs when a pre-existing infection triggers a chain reaction throughout a person's body. Sepsis can be difficult to diagnose because patients present different symptoms, and their observation can be subjective. According to the Global Sepsis Alliance, the disease contributes to approximately one in five deaths worldwide and in the United States alone; it stands as the leading cause of death in hospitals, leading to one in three hospital fatalities. Compounding these mortality rates is a rise in antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance due to overuse or misuse.

    Today, we’re joined by experts in the field of diagnostics and critical care as well as a sepsis patient and advocate in order to more acutely understand the disease, its diagnosis, and the advancements in the field.


    In this episode, host Ranga Sampath, Senior Vice President and Head of the Center for Innovation in Diagnostics at Siemens Healthineers and Member of the Board of the Sepsis Alliance, welcomes:

    • Heike Spreter-Krick a sepsis survivor who is now a patient advocate working with the Global Sepsis Alliance
    • Patti DeJuilio, Director of Respiratory Care and Diagnostic Services at Northwestern Medicine Central DuPage Hospital in Winfield, Illinois
    • Dr. Eric Gluck, Director of Critical Care Services at Swedish Hospital and professor of medicine at Finch University of Health Sciences at The Chicago Medical School
    • Mervyn Singer, professor of intensive care medicine at University College London

    What you’ll learn in this episode:

    • The timing of diagnosis and treatment is critical because sepsis creates oxygen deprivation in the cells.
    • Risk factors like age and comorbidities can increase the likelihood of a patient developing sepsis.
    • The biomarker procalcitonin can be used as an identifier for sepsis infection.
    • Lactate levels, a chemical naturally produced by the body during times of stress, can be used as one indicator among others that a patient may be experiencing sepsis.
    • In the UK, the National Early Warning Score helps closely monitor patients at risk for developing sepsis.
    • IV antibiotics have long been the gold standard for sepsis treatment, but they are at risk of overuse and misuse.
    • For many patients, surviving a sepsis infection is just the beginning of a long road to recovery.

  • Sports and cardiac health: Listen to your heart
    2024/07/03

    Regular exercise is one of the most effective methods to keep the heart healthy and efficient. In rare cases, however, there are reports of athletes collapsing mid-game due to cardiac arrest. And while exercise is generally also a key part of the rehabilitation process for those who’ve experienced cardiac events, caution should still be taken. This is where physician input is important, and where testing and regular monitoring can be implemented to reduce the risk of further events.

    Today, we’re joined by experts in the fields of sports cardiology and exercise physiology, as well as an athlete with firsthand experience in the matter, to draw attention to the topic of cardiac health and how it pertains to sports medicine.


    In this episode, host Myra Cocker, Assistant Professor of Cardiology at Houston Methodist Hospital and Global Director of Clinical Science for Cardiovascular Ultrasound at Siemens Healthineers, welcomes Dr. Jonathan Kim, Associate Professor and Founding Director at Emory University Sports Cardiology and Team Cardiologist for Georgia Tech, the Atlanta Falcons, Hawks, and Braves; as well as Dr. Dominique Hansen, Professor of Rehabilitation and Exercise Physiology in Cardiometabolic Diseases at Universiteit Hasselt in Belgium and Secretary of the European Association of Preventive Cardiology; and retired professional soccer player and cardiology patient Daniel Engelbrecht.



    What you’ll learn in this episode:

    • How cardiac risk can affect older and younger elite athletes differently
    • Cardiac events can stem from myocarditis, caused by an infectious disease.
    • Red flag symptoms when it comes to cardiac events while exercising, including intense chest pressure or loss of consciousness
    • The use of Automated External Defibrillators is a critical first response strategy in the event of cardiac arrest.
    • Implementation of an exercise program can be essential when treating a patient who has experienced, or is at risk for, cardiovascular disease.
    • For patients who have suffered from major cardiac events, their timeline for return to sports or intense physical activity is heavily dependent on a number of individual factors.

  • Improving pathways and prevention in stroke care
    2024/05/02

    Every year, more than 12 million people suffer from strokes. With 6.5 million dead and many left with permanent disability, it is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide.


    Today, we’ll learn about the stroke pathway and secondary stroke risk as well as the underlying diseases that are connected to stroke and how they can be identified and treated.


    In this episode, host Wiebke Plenkers, product line head for ON THE SPOT, Siemens Healthineers global mobile CT solutions, is joined by Mira Katan, MD, head of Stroke Unit and deputy head of Acute Neurology at University Hospital Basel in Switzerland and Carlos Molina, MD, head of Neurology Section and director of Stroke Unit at Barcelona’s Vall d’Hebron Research Institute.


    What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

    • The pathway for an incoming patient after it is determined that they are suffering from a stroke
    • Determining the type and severity of the stroke is an important deciding factor for successful treatment
    • Modern imaging techniques support in the identification between an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke
    • Secondary stroke events are a significant risk for many stroke patients
    • Educating patients is key in preventing secondary stroke events
    • Implementation of telemedicine is just one of the advances that might improve outcomes for stroke patients in the future
