In addition to picking up one of the 300 new life jackets, local families enjoyed a hot dog, chips and refreshments with Search and Rescue team members and staff from YMC. There were also educational activities, giving families an opportunity to learn more about water safety with YCSAR members; YMC staff; Missouri River National Park Service staff; South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department staff; and Gavins Point Dam staff.

By Linda Reese, MPAS, PA-C Asthma is a chronic disease of the lungs that makes it difficult to get air out. It is characterized by inflammation and increased mucus in the airways along with constriction of the muscles surrounding the breathing tubes. When the airways become inflamed, narrowed and filled with mucus, this causes wheezing, coughing, a feeling of chest tightness and shortness of breath. The cause of asthma is not known, but both genetic and environmental factors contribute. Intermittent obstruction can often be reversed. However, if asthma is left untreated, the airways undergo structural changes, and the obstruction can become permanent. An unpredictable but common condition Asthma is classified as mild, moderate or severe. Symptoms can be triggered by a wide variety of factors, including viruses, allergens, pet dander, dust mites, stress, and certain foods and medications. Each person has different triggers, and these can change over a person’s lifetime. Asthma is with the expansion of pulmonary care By Michael Pietila, MD, FCCP, FACP, pulmonary, critical care, sleep and internal medicine physician at Yankton Medical Clinic and clinical professor of internal medicine at the University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine I would like to take this opportunity to introduce Linda Reese, a physician assistant (PA) who has joined the pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine team at the Yankton Medical Clinic (YMC). Linda has a vast amount of experience as a respiratory therapist and now as a PA caring for patients across the spectrum of respiratory illness. She has extensive knowledge in managing conditions like asthma, COPD, sleep apnea and other diseases affecting the lungs and causing breathing difficulty. Linda has been a member of the health care community in Yankton for 25 years, working at the YMC and Avera Sacred Heart Hospital. She is now providing clinical care for patients with any respiratory complaint as an extension of our pulmonary care practice under my direct supervision. With her assistance, we are establishing an outpatient respiratory clinic to make sure patients receive timely and appropriate post-hospital care for respiratory complaints and to assist local care providers with immediate post-hospital specialty care. We are also establishing a specialty clinic for the use of monoclonal antibody therapy for the management of difficult-to-treat asthma and COPD as well as for environmental and seasonal allergies. Linda will tell you more in the article that follows. Breathe easy All about 8 yanktonmedicalclinic.com
Fall/Winter 2024 9 highly unpredictable, and even those with mild or infrequent symptoms can have severe, lifethreatening episodes. Data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2021 indicate that 7.7% of the U.S. population—about 25 million people—have asthma. Diagnosis of asthma consists of a thorough history and physical exam, breathing tests, and lab work. How it’s treated Treatment of asthma often includes inhaled medications that target airway constriction and inflammation. Asthma flare-ups sometimes require oral corticosteroids to tame the inflammation and reduce symptoms quickly. Oral steroids are associated with negative side effects, such as diabetes, cataracts, osteoporosis and pneumonia. Research has shown that using oral steroids for even four to five courses over a lifetime can have a cumulative effect that puts people at higher risk for these side effects. Inhaled corticosteroids cause far fewer side effects and are the preferred approach in asthma management. Treatment guidelines for asthma have changed significantly over the past decade, including shifts in the use of inhaled medications as well as the emergence of several treatments targeted at severe and difficult-to-treat asthma. Roughly 5% to 10% of asthma is considered severe. In these cases, patients continue to have asthma flare-ups despite treatment with high-dose inhaled steroids combined with long-acting medications to reduce constriction, and they often require oral steroids. For these patients, monoclonal antibody therapy, sometimes called biologic therapy, can be highly effective. The inflammatory changes associated with asthma are often termed a cascade, and monoclonal antibody therapy works to block or bind with specific molecules along that path to stop progression. Careful assessment of a patient’s symptoms, history, lab work, response to previous therapy and other medical conditions guides our decision in choosing the biologic therapy that will be most effective for each patient. The goal of this personalized approach is fewer symptoms for the patient and a reduction in steroid use and associated side effects.

10 yanktonmedicalclinic.com Learn how to eat well Nutrition is the most important component of weight management. We should try to eat food in its most natural form and minimize processed foods. For fruits and vegetables, frozen can be a good alternative to fresh food if you are concerned about food not lasting. Just be sure to read labels and avoid foods with added sugars or other processed ingredients. Year after year, the Mediterraneanstyle diet has been shown to be beneficial for many health conditions. During your office visit, we may discuss a nutritionist. I often focus on a few key things: protein, fiber, added sugars and water. Make sure to move With all the advances in technology, many of us work in sedentary jobs rather than doing physical labor. Because of this, getting additional exercise is important. In general, it is recommended to get 150 minutes of moderateintensity exercise weekly. Aerobic activity is important, but strength training is also key. It helps maintain bone density, which is especially important for women. It also can help increase muscle mass, which boosts metabolism. The goal is not to build huge muscles, but to improve strength, balance and flexibility so we can function well even in our older years. By Carrissa Pietz, MD One of the most common concerns I hear in the clinic on a daily basis is “No matter what I do, I cannot seem to lose weight.” Managing weight is a struggle for many and is even harder in a society filled with processed foods, sedentary lifestyles and quick fixes that are not longterm solutions. It is important to understand that whatever approach a person takes to weight management, it needs to be a lifestyle change that can be maintained over the long term to be successful. There are many components to living a healthy lifestyle. Eating healthy and exercising are important, but it is also essential to get adequate sleep and minimize stress. Many of us are constantly pulled in many directions, but we need to remember to take care of ourselves as well. The trend for the quick fix Managing your weight: A physician just for you If you need a primary care provider, check our physician finder at www.yanktonmedicalclinic.com/find-a-provider.
Fall/Winter 2024 11 Make water your friend According to the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, on average, men should drink 3.7 liters and women 2.7 liters of water daily. People with certain medical conditions should not drink this much water, so you should always consult your physician prior to making any major changes in your diet. How much protein and fiber do you need? Protein is essential for our muscles. A sedentary person’s daily protein intake should be 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. This amount increases for those that exercise regularly (1.1 to 1.7 grams per kilogram) and for those over age 40 (1 to 1.2 grams per kilogram). Again, certain medical conditions could affect what is recommended for your protein intake, so make sure to discuss with your doctor if you have underlying medical conditions. Daily fiber intake should be in the range of 25 to 30 grams per day. Stay sweet without the sugar Added sugars should be limited. This does not include sugars found naturally in fruits. These are sugars that are added to foods and are listed on food labels as “added sugars.” The goal is to limit these to less than 25 grams for women and less than 36 grams for men per day. What about medications or surgery? If lifestyle changes alone aren’t enough, there are medications that can be used for weight loss, and there are surgical options. Many times, insurance coverage limits the use of medications, but ask your doctor about options. One medication for weight loss, semaglutide, received a new indication from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in February 2024 for reduced risk of cardiovascular death, heart attack and stroke in adults who are overweight or obese, which has expanded coverage for certain patients. To qualify for weight loss medication, a person needs to have a body mass index (BMI) of 30-plus or a BMI of 27-plus with an underlying medical condition; however, meeting these criteria does not guarantee insurance coverage. Surgery could be considered if you have a BMI of 35-plus or a BMI of 30-plus with underlying metabolic disease. If you think you qualify, make an appointment to talk with your doctor. Care for yourself It is very important to be proactive in taking care of your health rather than reactive once conditions arise. Scheduling an appointment with a primary care provider for a general physical can be a great way to discuss some of the items mentioned here along with other things you can do to help yourself live a healthy life.
