Dr. Kimberly Gudzune, of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore presented this week at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) annual meeting, in a post hoc analysis of the SURMOUNT-1 trial, from MedPage Today. Dr. Gudzune notes of participants who failed to shed 5% of their body weight at 12 weeks, more than 90% ultimately achieved that clinically meaningful level of weight loss at 72 weeks. But only 30% dropped at least 15% of their body weight at 72 weeks, compared to 84% of the early responders – those who lost at least 5% at 12 weeks. Put another way, 1 in 6 of the early responders failed to lose at least 15% in weight at 72 weeks, compared to over two-thirds of the slow responders. My take – we should focus care upon early responders, in order to maximize benefit across a population; which is further exacerbated by cost, supply and access issues. https://lnkd.in/e4Hn2Vjv

Empowering women physicians: Navigating career challenges with clarity and resilience I want to emphasize to other women physicians that, for better or worse, we are just that – women physicians. No one is going to come and save us. I held on to the hope that someone might for a long time, but I realized the importance of clarity and self-reliance. It's essential to allow yourself some time and space away from all the noise. Find ways to carve out small moments for yourself, bit by bit, to really understand your current state. Reflect on how your energy is managed, how in tune you are with your physiological and stress states, what drains your energy, and what revitalizes you. Start by identifying what you truly value and prioritize in life. This isn't just about distinct roles but within the whole blend of life. Consider your core values and priorities deeply. Once you have clarity on these, use them as a filter for your decision-making and boundary-setting processes. This approach will empower you to feel a greater sense of agency and control over your life and career. By aligning your actions with your core values, you can navigate the challenges of being a woman physician with more confidence and resilience. Sarah Wittry is a hospice and palliative care physician. Kim Downey is a physical therapist.

Navigating TMS treatments for depression or OCD requires careful consideration of alcohol use, as excessive consumption can interfere with the efficacy of the therapy. Clinicians should advise patients to minimize or abstain from alcohol during the treatment period, given its potential to exacerbate symptoms and hinder neural modulation. However, if a person is actively dependent and consuming excessive alcohol regularly, it may not be the right time for TMS treatments. Additionally, if someone is in early abstinence and has withdrawals, it is probably best to post-pone TMS treatments. Monitoring and supporting patients in managing their alcohol intake is crucial to optimizing treatment outcomes with TMS.

If you only learn from the books or those teaching you off pre -fabricated slide decks.... you might not be giving your patients the best outcome!! Often times what is taught is based on clinical trial results done years before and not what is current or best practices. Learn more this Tuesday on a special edition of Thriving...on how to better translate the clinical trial findings to real life!

Recent research shows that social determinants of health programs can help improve pain and symptom management for end-of-life patients in underserved communities. A recent study published in the Annals of Surgical Oncology found disparities in pain management among Black, Asian and Hispanic cancer patient populations, based on variation in the availability of social determinants of health services. https://buff.ly/3w3QjtH #PainManagement #EndOfLife

Healthcare Unionization - More to Come??? In another in a series of articles on Healthcare #Unionization in MedPage Today - by Jennifer Henderson – she interviews authors and discusses a JAMA Network Open survey article and an accompanying JAMA editorial on how Unionization has impacted some Surgery Residency Programs. She notes that “Though resident unionization provided some benefits, it may have also yielded unintentional consequences.." ” She goes on to note that – “….survey data demonstrate that unionized programs are more likely to offer a housing stipend and more weeks of vacation time, BUT resident burnout, job satisfaction, and impressions of the educational environment are SIMILAR between surgical residents in unionized and non-unionized programs." MY TAKE: One key statement in the article for me - noted that - "educational leaders also perceived that union executives encouraged residents to engage in conflict rather than bring issues directly to their leaders to be solved collaboratively,. "Conflicts around clinical educational assessments were particularly contentious." Now – this may at least in part represent a bias of the surveyed educational leaders – but it points out that though unions give a voice and “bargaining” platform to now dis-empowered physicians and other healthcare workers at all levels – they may bring with them their own set of bureaucratic and ideologic conflicts and issues. It would be more desirable that healthcare systems SELF-CORRECT their own workplace failings and provide a safe and supportive workplace environment and an empowered voice for their workers – thus avoiding the insertion of an additional bureaucracy – UNIONS – into an already fractious mix. Will THEY do so? Looking at the HISTORY of workplaces in multiple other business and industry sectors over time – hundreds of YEARS of experience suggests - NO! #burnout #healthcareworkeers #toxicwowrkplaces #doctors #unions American Medical Association American College of Emergency Physicians Tennessee Medical Association Julie Johnson Darci Foote Audrey Rosenblatt Daniela Amórtegui Beth Kutscher Evelyn Torres Atul Nakhasi, MD, MPP Gillian Schmitz Deborah Fletcher Alison Haddock, MD, FACEP Aisha Terry (formerly Liferidge) Linda Lawrence Linda Restrepo Melissa Rudy Stephanie Faubion Jonathan Fisher, MD, MPH Heather Fork, MD Tim Reeder Donna Brazile Chadd Kraus Gabe Kelen, Doug Chesson Jesse Pines Leon C.

The opioid crisis, a persistent issue in the United States, has shed light on the risks associated with opioid overprescription and misuse. Urgent care centers, serving as primary points of access for patients in need of immediate medical attention, play a crucial role in addressing this crisis by advocating for safe and responsible pain management practices. Featured on local affiliate stations of ABC News, NBC News, CBS Fox News TV and Yahoo Finance, as well as in the Boston Herald , United Pain Urgent Care ( UPUC) stands out as the first urgent care facility in the nation dedicated to treating pain and injury without relying on opioids whenever possible. This innovative model not only reduces costs for patients and health plans by up to 546% compared to emergency room visits but also alleviates the strain on emergency departments. Both the Journal of Urgent Care Medicine and Becker’s ACS have recognized UPUC’s unique approach to pain management in their articles. The accompanying video serves as a testament to the effectiveness of safe and accessible treatment which can be provided by pain-centric urgent care facilities. In this instance, a patient suffering from knee pain and osteoarthritis, compounded by a Baker cyst fluid collection, found relief after undergoing a procedure to remove the fluid. Within moments, she experienced improved mobility and a significant reduction in pain. This exemplifies the range of treatments and procedures available at pain-centric urgent care facilities, all aimed at minimizing the need for opioid medications. Join us in our effort to create a nation free of opioid addiction by experiencing firsthand how a Pain centric urgent care is revolutionizing pain management and improving patient outcomes without the use of opioids. Join the movement towards a healthier future. #OpioidCrisis #PainManagement #UrgentCare #NonOpioidTreatment #HealthcareInnovation #PainRelief #PreventOpioidAddiction #SafeMedicine #PatientCare #HealthyLiving #Painurgentcare #unitedpainurgentcare #upuc

It was a great pleasure to connect with Kim Downey and Hisla Bates, MD to share some insights on the transformative power of self-care, compassion and leadership in healthcare. The ability to show up as our best and authentic selves requires an emphasis on our values as an internal compass.

We'll explore how trauma-informed care extends into trauma-informed interaction, conversation, and communication, and what it takes to truly embody this spirit. 💭 Question for you: What do you think of this new way of thinking about trauma-informed care? What would become possible for our clients, our organizations, and our staff if we shifted from trauma-informed care to trauma-informed interaction? Please share your thoughts—we'd love to hear from you! We hope to see you today. 👥 #TraumaInformedCare #SWEETInstitute #TraumaInformedInteraction #MentalHealth #CommunityCare

Optimal #aging is trying to retain more function & then decline more slowly and live longer, w/better health & quality of life. It pertains to #QOL, with an emphasis on prevention & health lifelong, rather than thinking of aging as just what we do at the end.

We need to keep learning and improving in #healthcare. We need to share (and publish) creative care models that work well, and work #together across teams, historic silos, and locations to help our patients, communities, and each other. 📌 This is a fantastic overview of a virtual care connection model with specialists and local teams working together to care for patients. ➡️ “The clinical consultation took place in the local clinic facility, with the support of the on-site team.” ➡️ “Laboratory testing and imaging studies were coordinated through community settings, and tertiary site–based surgical, health psychology, and nutritional teams also followed up with this patient via virtual care clinic visits.” ➡️ “By providing these clinical services closer to the patient’s home through a clinical facility, numerous objectives were achieved: (1) patients received thorough clinical assessment and care plans; (2) patients were less likely to use the hospital or ED; (3) patients were more likely to remain in the workforce; and (4) community health care was off-loaded, reducing burnout and improving workforce retention.” ➡️ “This approach combines virtual care with a cooperative care delivery model, where the aim is not to shift patient care from one provider to another, but to expand access for patients and to create both new and clinically appropriate care for each care participant, with the aim that improved access will lead to enhanced care outcomes and more efficient care utilization.” #StrongerTogether #CrossTeamCollaboration #PatientCenteredCare

In honor of PTSD awareness month 💙 TYPES OF PTSD PTSD is a multidimensional disorder and varies from person to person. As researchers explore this complicated mental health condition, PTSD diagnoses have been divided into three subcategories. Uncomplicated PTSD is linked to a single traumatic event such as a car accident or a serious medical event. The main symptoms of uncomplicated PTSD include the avoidance of triggers and negative changes in mood and behavior. Uncomplicated PTSD is reported to be the easiest to treat. Complex PTSD is caused by multiple reoccurring events such as long-term domestic abuse or exposure to war. Those with complex PTSD tend to struggle with symptoms such as avoidance of triggers as well as negative changes in mood, behavior, and emotional reactions. This type of PTSD is more difficult to treat as it is considered more intense. Comorbid PTSD is attributed to people who simultaneously suffer from at least one other mental health condition besides PTSD. These other mental health conditions could include depression, anxiety disorders, and drug or alcohol abuse. This type of PTSD is common, with a reported 80% of patients with PTSD also experiencing at least one other condition. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP Perhaps you know someone who is struggling with PTSD. It can be difficult to watch someone you care about struggle with something, but there are many ways to help! Educate yourself about PTSD Be patient Don’t pressure them into talking Be a good listener should they choose to talk about it Do “normal” things with them Anticipate and manage potential triggers Keep your promises Ask how you can help Unfortunately, PTSD is very common. Roughly 8 million adults suffer from #PTSD in a given year.

Preventative Health Care: AI Aids Accessibility Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing preventative health care, particularly in underserved communities. According to Belinda Seto, deputy director at the NIH's Office of Data Science Strategy, AI’s role in medical radiology is notable for its pattern recognition capabilities, enhancing disease detection and diagnosis. Seto's career in science began with a passion for understanding patterns in nature, leading to a Ph.D. in biochemistry and significant roles at the NIH and FDA. She emphasizes that AI and data sharing in health care must be approached ethically and with a focus on health equity. Challenges include access to technology, structural barriers, and cultural acceptance. The NIH's data-sharing policy promotes transparency and community benefit, with strict measures to protect individual privacy. AI’s potential extends to health promotion, such as chatbots reminding patients of checkups, which could improve maternal and infant mortality rates. Singapore serves as an exemplary model in leveraging technology for public health. Seto concludes that prioritizing education and health literacy, alongside technological advancements, can significantly enhance health care accessibility and quality. #AI #Healthcare #PreventativeCare #HealthEquity #DataSharing #MedicalInnovation With the Specialist combines artificial intelligence with a board certified neurologist to enhance neurological care in the primary care setting, aiding in accessibility.

It's my favorite thing when people who love medicine also create works calling it out. It's clear that Uché Blackstock, MD fits the bill in her new book "Legacy: A Black Physician Reckons with Racism in Medicine." I appreciate that she lovingly shares her own mother's story of being a groundbreaking Black woman physician as well as her own journey of diagnosing inequity and then tactical, realistic strategies for how we can build a better health future. Among the many disparities she explores, the data on sickle cell anemia was new to me and particularly heartbreakingly told through the story of the preventable death of her young patient Jordan. "...our health-care system has never devoted enough effort and resources to finding treatments and cures for this 'Black' disease. Sickle cell anemia was first identified over one hundred years ago, yet the medical establishment is still insufficiently invested in the research, care and treatment of this condition...Hemophilia, another inherited disease, affects around 20,00 mostly white people a year. There are 28 drugs to treat hemophilia. Meanwhile sickle cell disease affects a much larger population - 100,00 mostly Black people per year - but it only has two FDA-approved drugs for treatment."
