Joseph E. SafdiehHOST
Hello, and welcome to Neurology Today.
Romer GeocadinGUEST
No, I wasn't even, I was still a resident, Nick, when this happened.
Romer GeocadinGUEST
So there was an AAN meeting and they will kill me if I say names, right? There was an AAN meeting in Boston where at Boston Back Bay, several people met And over beers started venting what their experiences are and said, it's time for us to organize.
Romer GeocadinGUEST
And then they started listing what they needed to do.
Romer GeocadinGUEST
And these people became like, you know, the Stefan Mayers, the Gene Sungs, the Claude Hemphills, the Bill Copeland.
10 MINS LATER
Romer GeocadinGUEST
and all of the Austrians that did the trial, they were also there doing the experiments under the guidance of Peter Safar.
Romer GeocadinGUEST
And that became my opening, which also became my opening to becoming a clinician scientist, because it helped me focus.
Romer GeocadinGUEST
And then Peter Safar, I actually started the first brain injury and cardiac arrest non-prognostication only course for the AAN, where I invited Peter Safar to give the talk.
Romer GeocadinGUEST
For people who do not know Peter Safar, if you're saying ABC, airway breathing circulation, he's the one that wrote that.
Chris BenderHOST
A medication that helps diabetic nerve pain does not automatically belong in an arthritis regimen.
Chris BenderHOST
And finally, the American Academy of Neurology and American Headache Society have updated their adult migraine prevention guideline.
Chris BenderHOST
So prevention should be offered when someone has at least four migraine days a month, at least four moderate to severe headache days, or a meaningful disruption of daily life.
Chris BenderHOST
And I think that last part matters because numbers or the calendar doesn't always tell us the whole story.
Michael SmerconishHOST
Who wouldn't want more afternoon sunlight? But it would be terrible for people's health, which is why many major medical organizations oppose it, including the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
Michael SmerconishHOST
the American Academy of Neurology, the American Medical Association.
Michael SmerconishHOST
Instead, they advocate keeping standard time in place year round.
Michael SmerconishHOST
I will make sure that I put this in the newsletter tomorrow.
Heidi KlessigGUEST
They then disconnect the patient's ventilator and they observe for breathing.
Heidi KlessigGUEST
But, you know, if you look at the American Academy of Neurology's brain death guideline, they admit that this test is arbitrary is the exact word they use.
Heidi KlessigGUEST
They say they don't have scientific data to know at what point the patient would breathe if he was going to breathe during this test.
Heidi KlessigGUEST
So I looked and I said, well, the doctors followed the protocol.
Daniel CorreaHOST
From the American Academy of Neurology, I'm Dr. Daniel Correa.
Katy PetersHOST
And I am Dr. Katy Peters, and this is the Brain Health Podcast.
Daniel CorreaHOST
Welcome back to the Brain Health Podcast.
Harry SutherlandHOST
He is board certified in neurology with special certification in vascular neurology, plus an internal medicine.
Harry SutherlandHOST
He is the founding president of the Neurohospitalist Society and the founding chair of the Neurohospitalist Section of the American Academy of Neurology.
Harry SutherlandHOST
among other society physicians.
Harry SutherlandHOST
David, thank you for joining.
Anhel CadenaGUEST
Yeah, so I know that a couple of articles, it was a journal talking about the J-1 visa.
Anhel CadenaGUEST
And I think that's in the AAN.
Anhel CadenaGUEST
Dr. Nagby and Dr. Schuyler also work on that article.
Anhel CadenaGUEST
But in general, most of the resources are in the websites.
Susan RyanHOST
Hmm.
Doug RedoshGUEST
And then I was sitting at a conference in the American Academy of Neurology meeting in Los Angeles in 2017, and a paper was presented where the speaker said that if you have this REM sleep behavior disorder, you have a 90% chance of developing a Parkinson's or a Parkinson's-like disorder.
Doug RedoshGUEST
And I said, oh.
Susan RyanHOST
Yeah.
Lindsay WeitzelHOST
But I was hoping you could just introduce the fact that they're out there so that our audience is aware.
Tim SmithGUEST
So the American Headache Society and the American Academy of Neurology issued a jointly created set of guidelines.
Tim SmithGUEST
And this came from, there was another organization that had produced guidelines a year or two ago, and they weren't met with much approval, at least in the headache world.
Tim SmithGUEST
By that, I mean headache clinicians and migraine patients, to be honest with you.
