172: Episode 172: Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month: Why Multidisciplinary Care Matters

Episode 172

Friday, August 7, 2026 • Duration 15:19

Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice.

In episode 172, “Spinal Muscular Atrophy Awareness Month: Why Multidisciplinary Care Matters,” Sandeep Rana, MD, a neurologist specializing in neuromuscular disorders at Allegheny Health Network, discussed the multidisciplinary care model for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) implemented in his center, in honor of SMA Awareness Month. He described a clinic structure that includes physical and occupational therapists, respiratory therapists, nutritionists, speech therapists, social workers, and collaboration with pulmonologists experienced in neuromuscular disease.

Rana also outlined how the advent of disease-modifying therapies has transformed SMA from a largely fatal illness into a more manageable condition. He highlighted key advancements in therapeutics that have shifted priorities toward long-term wellness, including weight management, physical fitness, and emotional health. He noted persistent challenges in organizing and sustaining a specialized multidisciplinary team. Finally, he emphasized the importance of clinician awareness, early identification, and timely referral to tertiary centers, particularly as additional therapies may become available.

Special Episode: Na Tosha, Gatson, MD, PhD, on Newly Launched Neuro-Oncology Column

Thursday, July 30, 2026 • Duration 20:11

In this special edition of Mind Moments, Na Tosha Gatson, MD, PhD, senior medical director of neuro-oncology and director of the Center for Neuro-Oncology at Indiana University School of Medicine, joins the podcast to discuss her career journey, philosophy of patient care, and the launch of The G.L.O.B., a new recurring NeurologyLive column dedicated to advancing health literacy in neuro-oncology. Drawing on decades of experience in neuro-oncology, clinical leadership, and mentorship, Gatson shares the motivation behind creating a platform that transforms complex oncologic concepts into practical, accessible knowledge for clinicians, patients, and caregivers alike.

The conversation explores the inspiration behind The G.L.O.B., the importance of effective medical communication, lessons learned throughout Gatson's career, and the role of health literacy, shared decision-making, and health equity in modern neurologic care. She also discusses her vision for the future of the column and why improving patient understanding should remain central to both clinical practice and research.

Episode Breakdown:

1:10 – Journey into neuro-oncology and career-defining experiences
4:50 – Mission and philosophy behind The G.L.O.B.

163: The Clinical Reality of Seronegative Myasthenia Gravis

Episode 163

Friday, April 3, 2026 • Duration 16:56

Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice.

In this Mind Moments episode, Sarah Hoffmann, MD, PhD, senior neurologist at Charité – University Medicine Berlin, provides clinical insight into the evolving and often challenging landscape of seronegative generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG). Drawing from both clinical experience and research, Hoffmann discusses how seronegative MG is defined in the absence of detectable antibodies and why it represents a heterogeneous and often underrecognized subgroup of patients. The conversation explores key diagnostic challenges, particularly in patients with limb-predominant symptoms, where differentiation from other neuromuscular or functional disorders can be difficult. Hoffmann also reviews current treatment approaches, noting that while standard therapies mirror antibody-positive MG, access to targeted treatments remains limited. Additional discussion focuses on the barriers to advancing clinical trials in this population, the need for reliable biomarkers to better stratify patients, and the importance of continually reassessing diagnosis in nonresponders to avoid both undertreatment and overtreatment.
