You're probably not going to be surprised, but we are talking basic science and medicine today. Not the "translational" stuff, but the real, nitty gritty stuff that confuse even most physicians find difficult to understand.

Torres, Ph.D., of NYU, will be joining us to talk about the links between medieval medicines and Staph aureus, a problem in everything from gym bags to ICU's.  Turns out that our medieval ancestors knew more than we give them credit for.  Find out what, and how!

Medicine.  Science. Professionalism.  And rules and guidelines... so many of them that there appear to be an veritable army of people making sure we are on the straight and narrow.  And two things happen sometimes.  First of all, sometimes regulations seem to make no sense from a clinical point of view.  And sometimes, clinical guidelines seem more confusing than guiding.  We are going to talk about this today.

Starting with fecal transplants.  These have become an important part of the treatment of C. difficile colitis and there is ongoing research on its usefulness for a variety of other GI diseases.  The question has been raised (by the FDA) as to whether the stool is a drug or not.  If it is, then all kinds of regulations apply to it.  If it is thought of as a "transplant organ," think a gross version of bone marrow, then a totally different set of regulations apply.  And what do you or a loved one do while everyones trying to figure this out?  Join me as I speak with Mark Smith of MIT about Openbiome, an organization devoted to making fecal microbiota transplant more available to everyone.

Questions about FMT?  Call us at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!

We will then expand the conversation with GI Update.  I will tell you some of the latest and greatest news from the world of digestive disease and answer your questions at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!  Or tweet me at @doctorira.twitter.com/doctorira.

Cholesterol.  We've been told its the devil's product (except for the good kind of course) for many years.  And then new guidelines came out and it became even more confusing.  For younger people, cholesterol may not be so bad.  For older people, apparently bad even if its perfect.  So confusing.  Join me and cardiologist Dr. Seth Baum as we talk about cholesterol.

Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!

We will end the show, as usual, with Ask Doctor Ira, where you can ask me any question you want on any medical topic at all...anything you forgot to ask your doctor ask me!  Give me a call or tweet.

Monday, February 3, 2014 on the Doctor Ira Breite Show On SiriusXM 81: Doctor Radio!

Superbowl mania has hit New York City.  Ok, not really; more like fear of Superbowl traffic.  I have been particularly inconvienenced  by the "Bud Light Hotel," a large cruise ship docked on the Westside Highway.  Which got me thinking about Norovirus, which is NOT on the Bud Light boat but is on several cruise ships at the moment.  Norovirus in particularly contagious, and you don't need to be on a cruise ship to get it.  Find out more with me and Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News Channel medical correspondent and the Medical Director of Doctor Radio.

After this we will have gastroenterology update, where I will tell your some of the latest and greatest innovations in the world of digestive disease and answer your questions at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!

New week.  New fear of Contagion.  (Ironic Doctor Radio Fact: I have not seen the movie Contagion because I don't like scary movies).  We have talked a lot about C. difficile, the bacteria that is not easily killed by normal antibiotics.  The assumption has always been that transmission of C. diff occurred because the normal gut flora was depleted due to antibiotic use.  But a recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that transmission can occur in a variety of ways.  Join me and Mayo Clinic C. diff expert Dr. Sahil Khanna as we talk about this latest study and learn what you can do to avoid to this growing pathogenic pest and new ways to treat it if you do get it.

First the plants. The power of plants to heal is being celebrated by the New York Botanical Garden, which has opened a new exhibition: Wild Medicine: Healing Plants Around the World, Featuring The Italian Renaissance Garden (through September 8, 2013)Join me and Dr Michael Balick, the Vice President for Botanical Science and the curator of the exhibit as we talk about the relationship between plants and people.

April 15th.  Tax day.  But, also the day after my birthday!  Between my roller derby birthday party, taxes, preparing for this show and maybe a wee bit too much to eat I have a bit of heartburn this morning.  Although I'll probably just take a histamine blocker and call it a day, may people suffer from more than occasional stress/overindulgence reflux.  And not everyone wants to take pills.  Joining me and talk about some of the non-medication options for reflux!

Reflux:  wondering about non-medication treatments?  Give us a call at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!

I hope everybody is well.  I am still recovering from last weeks "roller derby and the microbiome show last week."  Two results.  First, I am planning on seeing the Manhattan Mayhem play next week.  Second, I have become even more fascinated with the human microbiome.  To that end, we are going to talk about some of the ways it can be passed from one person to the other.  If you've gone to the dentist recently, it sort of feels like you've entered a biohazard area.  Gloves, masks, gowns and sterilizers abound: my dentist's office feels more like an operating room than many operating rooms I've been in...but is it clean?  Join me and Dr. Bruce Paster of the Forsyth Institute as we talk about bacteria on the dental bib....

Then down the mouth to Gastroenterology Update where I will tell you some of the latest and greatest news in the world of gastroenterology and answer your digestive disease questions at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!

While I am going to the Roller Derby this weekend, it is not uncommon to find me at a variety of sporting events, and baseball season has just started.  Its a long game, and there is an ever growing list of menu items available (yes, I have had the sushi at a game.  But I've also had the fried cheese curds in gravy).    Join me and registered dietician Rachel Berman as we talk about Baseball Season and Serious Stadium Eats: Counting the Calories!

Give us a call with your favorite stadium eats at 1-877-NYU-DOCS!

Orders have exceeded expectations and customers seem pretty satisfied, according to the video.

Monday, March 4th on the Doctor Ira Breite Show on SiriusXM 81: Doctor Radio!
