Occasional heartburn from gastroesophageal reflux is usually nothing more than an occasional nuisance for most patients. However, when the reflux becomes chronic, it can become more serious. One complication is Barrett’s esophagus. On occasion, Barrett’s can develop into esophageal adenocarcinoma, an aggressive malignancy with a survival rate of only around 20% at 5 years. Although usually seen in those with chronic acid reflux, Barrett’s can occasionally occur in those without any clinical evidence of acid reflux. When should a patient with acid reflux receive an upper endoscopy? What’s the significance of finding Barrett’s esophagus on an endoscopy? How often does Barrett’s develop into esophageal cancer and does treatment prevent this from happening? In this podcast, these are just some of the questions I’ll be asking our guests, Cadman L. Leggett, M.D., and Chamil C. Codipilly, M.D., both from the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss Barrett’s Esophagus.

Lung transplantation remains a very viable option for patients with end-stage pulmonary disease who no longer respond to medical management. Over 5,000 lung transplants are performed annually around the world. However, its estimated that over 10 times this number are candidates and awaiting a transplant. A shortage of organs remains the major limiting factor. What are the common indications and who’s a candidate for a lung transplant? How are patients prioritized and chosen? What advances have been made in the field and what challenges remain? Finally, what role does the primary care clinician play in lung transplantation? I’ll be discussing these questions and more with my guest, Jack Haney, M.D., M.P.H., chair of cardiothoracic surgery at the Jacksonville campus of the Mayo Clinic. The topic for this podcast is “Lung Transplantation”.

Guest: Heidi Nelson, M.D., Emeritus Chair of the Department of Surgery and past Chair of the Division of Colon & Rectal Surgery at Mayo Clinic in Rochester

Guest: Jaeyun Sung, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biomedical Informatics and Senior Associate Consultant II in the Department of Quantitative Health Sciences, Mayo Clinic Rochester

This episode of Genes & Your Health presents the results of the Gut Microbiome Wellness Index 2 study, which examines the differences between the gut microbiomes of healthy and disease-affected populations. Drs. Nelson and Sung discussed a potential future where a stool gut microbiome profile could be used as a barometer of general gut health and outlined how the microbiome can be altered and used to predict overall health. They also covered factors that can contribute to returning the gut microbiome to healthy status after a disruption.

In 2024, over 48,000 organ transplants were performed in the U.S., representing an increase over the number performed the year before. There was also an increase in the number of transplants performed internationally, offering hope to patients worldwide with organ failure. Significant advancements have been made in the field of organ transplantation, and this is responsible for the success of the organ transplantation program. What are some of the major milestones that have taken place since the initial organ transplant? How has technology improved the success of an organ transplanted? What role will xenotransplantation, or transplantation of animal organs play in the future? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Julie K. Heimbach, M.D., transplant surgeon and director of the Transplant Center at the Mayo Clinic. The topic for this podcast is “What’s New in Transplant Surgery?”

The benefits of artificial intelligence or AI are just beginning to be recognized. AI has the potential to improve productivity and efficiency in the workplace, reduce errors and help sort out complex issues. The field of healthcare is finding roles for AI by improving the management of patient data, enhancing clinical decision making and assisting in medical imaging analysis. The integration of AI in transplantation medicine is evolving and has the potential to revolutionize the field. Can AI assist in organ matching and allocation? Can it predict graft survival and organ rejection? What ethical concerns does AI bring to the specialty? I’ll be discussing these issues in this podcast as we tackle the topic of “AI in Transplantation Medicine”. My guest for this podcast is Rohan M. Goswami, M.D., a cardiologist and specialist in Transplant Medicine from the Mayo Clinic.
