   Managing Sickle Cell Throughout Life

   (https://support.doctorpodcasting.com/media/k2/items/cache/7e90f1dded4f3765142406ab41ca351b_Generic.jpg) How can I live well with sickle cell disease across childhood, adolescence, and adulthood? Gary Bell, MD, Internal Medicine Physician at Prisma Health, and LaChina Hollis, FNP, Internal Medicine Nurse Practitioner at Prisma Health, explain how to recognize symptoms (pain crises, anemia, jaundice, infections), common triggers (temperature changes, low oxygen, infections, stress), and practical prevention steps (dress for temperature changes, treat infections early, have an ER pain plan). They review disease-modifying treatments—hydroxyurea (oral), Adakveo (monthly IV), and Endari (oral powder)—and clarify how these differ from acute pain management. The hosts also discuss curative options mentioned in the episode (bone marrow/stem cell transplant and gene therapy), noting eligibility limits such as donor availability and organ-health requirements, plus the role of multidisciplinary follow-up to monitor kidneys, lungs, eyes, and bones. Finally, the episode outlines transition challenges and the Lifespan Center–style support at Prisma Health to help patients, families, and caregivers maintain continuity of care without losing sight of mental-health and social needs.

   How Is Childhood Cancer Different from Adult Cancer?

   (https://support.doctorpodcasting.com/media/k2/items/cache/4a540f42967e6b3eadb016336afca530_Generic.jpg) How is childhood cancer different from adult cancer? Anna Hoppmann, MD, Pediatric hematologist-oncologist at Prisma Health, explains that childhood cancers cannot currently be screened for or prevented the way some adult cancers can. Listeners will learn which tumor types are most common in children, how survival has improved over decades, and why pediatric care focuses on long-term cure rates and supportive services rather than routine screening.

   (https://support.doctorpodcasting.com/media/k2/items/cache/adb7ebf2c900abd81426a6dd18f08598_Generic.jpg) Description: How long should I wait before seeing a doctor for sciatica? Taylor Girolamo, MD, Neurosurgeon at Prisma Health, outlines the timeline and warning signs for care. She explains acute versus chronic sciatica, recommends trying conservative measures for about four to eight weeks, and advises further evaluation by three months. The episode lists red flags—weakness, worsening numbness, saddle-area loss of sensation, and bowel or bladder changes—and explains when urgent evaluation or emergency care is needed.
