Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Ana I. Casanegra, M.D., M.S. Venous thrombosis is an under diagnosed and potentially serious health condition, yet in many cases its preventable and certainly treatable when found.  Its most serious potential complication is embolization, most commonly to the lung. As a medical condition, venous thrombosis has been known for many years. In fact, the triad of contributing factors to venous thrombosis including venous stasis, vascular injury and hypercoagulability were discovered in the mid-1800’s. Despite the long duration we’ve been diagnosing and treating the health problem, there’s still much we need to learn about it. The topic for today’s podcast is venous thrombosis and we’ll discuss its risk factors, how to diagnose a DVT and the best management recommendations. My guest will be Ana I. Casanegra, M.D., M.S., a vascular medicine specialist at the Mayo Clinic.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Craig N. Sawchuk, Ph.D., L.P. It’s estimated that 1 in 40 adults have obsessive compulsive disorder. Obsessions are repetitive, unwanted thoughts that are very difficult to control. They commonly cause distress and anxiety and are often focused on a specific theme such as germs and contamination. Compulsions are repetitive behaviors or thoughts that help make the obsessive thoughts go away. They can be very time consuming and prevent the individual from participating in activities the person values. Treatment is available for patients with OCD, and most can be helped. We’ll discuss OCD with our guest, Craig N. Sawchuk, Ph.D., L.P., a psychologist at the Mayo Clinic and find out how patients with OCD present, common obsessions they experience and how OCD can be managed.
