One person dies every 34 seconds in the US from cardiovascular disease. Heart disease costs the US about $229 billion each year. In DuPage County alone, the average estimated total cardiovascular disease death rate was 348 per 100,000 cases in 2020. Cases are discussed in-depth and critically analyzed. All relevant history, physical exam, and non-invasive studies are used to identify correctible deficiencies in provider practices, system failures, and patient behaviors to improve patient outcome...

Approximately 39.5% of people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes. By 2040, the number of new cancer cases per year is expected to rise to 29.5 million and the number of cancer-related deaths to 16.4 million. This conference reviews specific GU cancer cases to determine best practices, clinical approaches, and appropriate epidemiology for optimal patient outcomes. The cases present disciplinary problem(s) for which learners devise solutions under facilitation of th...

The burden of deaths and disability caused by neurological disorders is increasingly being recognized as a global public health challenge, and its burden is set to rise during the next few decades because of the population aging. In 2019, regionwide neurological conditions accounted for 533,172 deaths: (40%) in men, and 320,043 (60%) in women. The goal of morbidity and mortality case reviews (M&Ms) is to identify correctible deficiencies in provider practices, system failures, and patient behavi...

Aortic stenosis is the second most common valvular disease in the United States and the most common type of heart valve disease of the aging population. It is present in about 5% of the population at age 65 and the prevalence increases to more than 20% in advanced age patients. The number of cases of aortic valvular disease continues to increase because of the ageing populations in the service area. It is deceptive in onset and frequently associated with other comorbidities. Transcatheter aortic...

Each week, we conduct a comprehensive case conference focusing on 10-30 Central Nervous System (CNS) tumor cases. This multi-disciplinary session includes Neuro-Radiology presentations on CNS tumor imaging and education on advanced imaging acquisition techniques and in-depth discussions on neuroanatomy related to cases presented. Neuro-Oncology discussion to explore different types of treatment options and a case base analysis to determine optimal therapeutic strategies. Radiation Oncology discu...
