Ella Kazerooni, MD Director, Thoracic Radiology University of Michigan Health System	[02:03:24] CT coronary angiography allows us to see the inside of the coronary arteries to see if there are any blockages, but it also allows us to see the wall of the coronary arteries to see what’s causing those blockages. Are these inflamed, acute types of plaques which could rupture and be the cause of a patient’s chest pain, or are these old, calcified healed plaques, which are not likely to be the cause of a patient’s symptoms.

Gary Huffnagle, PhD Immunology Researcher University of Michigan Health System ALTERNATE PICK	[01:22:35] Probiotics are bacteria that we eat and they’re good for our health. They’re found in a number of foods that are readily available in the supermarket, and they taste good. You can support probiotic growth by increasing the amount of spices in your diet, cheeses, things like tea, red wine and berries, apples, actually beans even. And so it’s very good for your diet. [01:23:05] [01:18:04] Since the introduction of antibiotics until about a handful of years ago, maybe five years again, it [probiotics] was the realm of complementary and alternative medicine. But what has happened in the last five years, is that our understanding of the immune system and how the immune system works has led us down the road to reexamine the role of probiotics and probiotic microbes in our GI track as an important regulator of the immune system. So now it is now the emerging, cutting-edge of mainstream medicine… [01:18:38]
Robert J. Fontana, MD Gastroenterologist Medical Director, Liver Transplant University of Michigan Health System	[01:04:45] Whenever you take a medication into your body, your liver is frequently involved with metabolizing or eliminating the drug from your system. So, when you take too much acetaminophen or a Tylenol-type product, you overwhelm your body’s ability to detoxify or eliminate the medication, so high levels build up in the blood and that can then damage liver cells that are trying to metabolize or eliminate the drug and then lead to liver injury.

Raman Malhotra, MD Department of Neurology University of Michigan Health System	[01:01:58] Restless leg syndrome is a medical disorder that’s characterized by an urge to move one’s leg, usually accompanied by an unpleasant sensation. This can usually occur at nighttime, right before someone goes to sleep. It can also occur if someone is sitting down or laying down. The sensation is difficult for patients to describe in restless leg syndrome. It can be described as jittery, prickly, creepy-crawly, but almost always painful. The other interesting thing about the sensation is that it goes away if someone moves their legs, flexes their legs or walks around. [01:02:35]
