The evolution of broadcast audio has been rapidly changing over the past 10-15 years with the advent of podcasts in the early 2000s. As with other media, podcast audio has been adapted for use within medical and specifically neurology education in the form of the Neurology Podcast since 2007. As podcasts were an initial step in the field of on-demand media, further technological evolution has resulted in increasing customization of a listener's audio experience. We believe a historical inflection point has been reached with the increasingly mainstream adoption of virtual assistant technology which allows for consumption of brief on-demand self-curated audio productions. As editors of the Neurology Podcast, we have introduced a new audio product to this technological landscape, the Neurology Minute. In doing so, we hope that curated on-demand educational audio will become a part of the daily routine of many practicing neurologists as we move into this new technological age.

Background: Cognitive decline is an arising concern in patients who need cranial irradiation. We used the pooled longitudinal individual patient data of two phase III trials: NCT01780675 and PREMER to investigate whether hippocampal avoidance (HA)-PCI is associated with improved self-reported cognitive functioning (SRCF) compared with PCI without increasing brain metastases (BM) development within the HA area.

Methods: Patients with stage I-IV small cell lung cancer (SCLC) were randomized to PCI or HA-PCI.

People with epilepsy (PWE) stand to benefit significantly from increasing their physical activity, but promotion of physical activity is difficult in any population; a challenge compounded by the unique barriers encountered by PWE, especially those with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE). This study explores the feasibility of a remotely delivered, 12-week aerobic exercise program based on social cognitive theory principles in adults with DRE. This line of research is nested within the Multiphase Optimization Strategy (MOST), a framework that emphasizes iterative early pilot work (preparation phase research), followed by iterative optimization phase research.

A Prospective Study of Depression and Quality of Life after Kidney Transplantation.

Kidney360

September 2024

Division of Nephrology and Hypertension, Department of Internal Medicine, University of Kansas Medical Center, Kansas City, Kansas.

Key Points: Depression and health-related quality of life improve with kidney transplantation and is sustained beyond the immediate post-transplant period. The improvement in health-related quality of life, especially the physical component, differs by age and is higher in younger patients. Depression improves in all kidney transplantation recipients, irrespective of their age.
