Monday, September 26th, 2011 on the Doctor Ira Breite Show on Sirius XM 81: Doctor Radio

We have a great show planned for tomorrow. Vonda Wright, MD, the author of Fitness After 40, will be joining us to talk about her new book "Dr. Vonda Wright's Guide to Thrive, Four Steps to Body, Brains and Bliss." Learn how to create a vision for your future, take action by doing the right things, have a great attitude and achieve your goals!

After this, we have Gastroenterology Update, where I will let you know some of the big headlines in the world of Digestive Disease and answer your questions as well.

Some topics include proton pump inhibitors and the risk of hip fracture (!), the relationship between anxiety and Crohn's disease in young people, and easier medication dosing in Ulcerative Colitis.

This is not something that people like to mention publicly, but it is doubtless true that many people come to the doctor to ask why they smell bad. Join me and Dr. George Preti, PhD. of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia as we talk about the genetic link in Fish Odor Syndrome.

Give us a call about any odor related question you may have at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!

We will end the show, as usual, with Ask Doctor Ira, where you can ask me any question on any medical problem at all and I will be happy to answer. I believe Dr. Marc Siegel will also be giving me my flu shot to end the show! Can't miss that!

Monday, September 19th on the Doctor Ira Breite Show on Sirius XM 81: Doctor Radio!

Medicine has a long history of trying and failing. Things that sound good on paper, or in a small research trial, often fail when exposed to the real world. Post menopausal hormone replacement therapy is a classic example. Join me and NYU neurologist Dr. Keith Siller as we discuss stroke and the “Brain Stent Trial.” What’s the story behind this study, and why do people seem to do better with medications versus the latest in medical technology?

Call us with your stroke, stroke prevention and TIA questions at 1-877-NYU-DOCS

The fall is here. And yes, if you are a middle-aged guy its time to winterize yourself: by getting in shape and not getting hurt. Join me and National Athletic Trainers’ Association Board member Paul Ullucci, Jr. as we speak about getting in shape, staying healthy and not getting hurt!

I remember patients who had been exposed to the dust from the World Trade Center start to come in to the office complaining of GERD. They swore there was a relationship. At first, while I was sympathetic, I didn’t believe them. Asthma and cough I understood. But heartburn? It turns out that my initial thoughts were wrong, there is a relationship between 9/11 Toxic Dust and GERD. Join me and Dr. William Chey, the co-editor of the American Journal of Gastroenterology, as we discuss the relationship between GERD symptoms, asthma and post-traumatic stress disorder with exposure to World Trade Center Dust.

Questions about GERD and exposures: give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!

We will end the show, as always, with Ask Doctor Ira, where you can ask me any questions on any medical topics at all and I will be glad to answer them. Anything you forgot to ask your doctor, ask me! Give me a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS
