Program November 3, 2020
Dr. Eric Rosenbaum, Urologist with a specialty in Men’s health and practices at Froedtert South spoke to our group today about 2 very important, but often difficulty to talk about – Erectile Dysfunction (ED) and Enlarged Prostate (EP).  Although the topics are uncomfortable to talk about, they are quite common, and they have a large, broad, negative impact on health-related quality of life.  ED is found in 5/7 men. Diabetes plays a large role in ED, with 1 out 2 men suffering from issues with ED. There are many treatment options, oral meds, injections, implants are just a few of those. 
 
Prostate health is very important, there are 3 types but today he spoke on BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia) or enlarged prostate. BPH is also very common, especially in men over 50.  By age 60, 1.2 of all men will suffer from some form of BPH and 90% by the age of 85.  Besides issues relating to sudden urination, weak flow, start/stop flow or inability to urinate, it can be a precursor to prostate cancer.  There are many treatment options for this as well, so do not suffer in silence and seek a Urologist out for help. 
 
Dr. Rosenbaum is opening a Men’s Center at Froedtert South Pleasant Prairie. On the 1st Wednesday of every month he will be holding meetings to address issues in men’s health.  See their website for more information.

Our guest speaker was Brett R. Bennett from SKYGEN International Foundation, Inc. Brett currently manages multiple roles, within the SKYGEN USA organization: he is an operational lead and within SKYGEN international Foundation, he is the Vision Director. The co-founder of Skygen International Foundation visited Tanzania in 2016 and visited several primary and secondary schools.  He noticed many children had difficulty seeing and could not afford eyeglasses.  The country of Tanzania only has 4 eye doctors for every 2 million people. SKYGEN International Foundation has a mission of expanding access to healthcare through technology.  They have developed mobile clinics that take place in school rooms or outside.  All the equipment is light weight and movable. They evaluate all the children and adults to see who needs to see an optometrist.  They use a Kaleidoscope Auto Refraction machine which is battery powered to get an objective measurement of prescription needs. Those who need a consultation with an optometrist are checked for any optical needs and sized for glasses.  They use an assembly system called Ready2Clip, which allows them to fit and give glasses to 95% of the patients on the same day as their evaluation. They also register the patients and create an inventory in case they need replacement glasses in the future.  SKYGEN International employs and trained a local team of 13 people. In total, SKYGEN International has given vision tests to 154,112 since July 2018 and distributed 29,043 glasses.  They have also added dental hygiene education to the school clinics.

Speaker: Dr. Mike Rosenberg, an Interventional Cardiologist with Froedtert South. An interventional cardiologist is a cardiologist with additional education and training in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular disease as well as congenital (present at birth) and structural heart conditions through catheter-based procedures, such as angioplasty and stenting.   Interventional Cardiology (IC) is an area of medicine within the subspecialty of cardiology that uses specialized imaging and other diagnostic techniques to evaluate blood flow and pressure in the coronary arteries and chambers of the heart, as well as technical procedures and medications to treat abnormalities that impair the function of the cardiovascular system.  Today, only 5-6% of blocked arteries need bypass surgery, the remainder can be done by IC.  They are even now performing Valve procedures – Right sided/mitral valve without having to open the chest.
Prior to joining Froedtert South, Dr. Rosenberg practiced in Manitowoc and established one of the top 50 heart attack centers in the US there, with the Gold Standard of 90 minutes from care to treatment.  STEMI programs, which basically means identifying a patient experiencing an ST-elevation MI and using a lifesaving team and equipment to save lives.  He is replicating that here with the help of his colleagues. Part of this process was the need to consolidate all cardiac work at one facility (St. Cats), to provide better care and increased response time – cannot be in two places at one time.   Dr. Rosenberg works directly with our EMS, to do as much as possible while in field to get the patient ready.  They have very straight forward parameters to work with and if they do not know, they radio and ask. 
 
If you or someone you know are experiencing symptoms that could look like it is heart related – chest pain or discomfort-feeling weak, light-headed or faint – Pain or discomfort in the jaw, neck, or back – pain or discomfort in one or both arms or shoulders – shortness of breath – cold sweat – nausea, indigestions, heartburn or abdominal pain. CALL 911, do not drive someone or yourself to the hospital, it can make the difference between life or death.
