Education, Pediatrics, Speech / 02.11.2024

Technology has been benefitting the field of speech therapy for ages, but living in the digital age; we have not seen such a jump in innovations that have been helping speech-language pathologists (SLPs), otherwise known as speech therapists, better diagnose and treat patients as we have in the past few years, both in and out of therapy. In this article, we’ll discuss the cutting-edge technology, from tools to apps, that has been implemented to improve the role of speech therapy.

What are the limitations and challenges faced by speech pathologists?

As with all professions, speech therapists also share a number of limitations and challenges when it providing effective treatment for individuals. While they do make a huge difference in the lives of their patients, here are some of the biggest hurdles that SLPs face in their field:
  • Sessions and treatment are time-consuming - speech therapy requires multiple in-person sessions on a weekly basis in order to see results. It’s because of this that many people don’t attend sessions as they don’t have the time or resources to make it to regular sessions.
  • It can be difficult to keep individuals engaged - many of the methods used in traditional speech therapy can seem tedious and less engaging. This makes it difficult to motivate individuals to perform, especially when working with young children.
  • Limited accessibility - another huge limitation of speech therapy is that it’s not readily available in underserved and rural areas, which means there are a lot of people not receiving treatment purely because there isn’t a speech therapist close by.

Author Interviews, Cancer Research, Leukemia, Stem Cells / 01.11.2024

MedicalResearch.com Interview with: Eirini Papapetrou, MD, PhD Professor of Oncological Sciences Professor of Medicine, Hematology and Medical Oncology Director, Center for Advancement of Blood Cancer Therapies Co-Director, Stem Cell Engineering Core Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai New York, NY 10029   MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? What are the main findings? Response: RAS in the most commonly mutated oncogene in human cancers. Particularly in acute myeloid leukemia, about one third of cases have RAS mutations. We set out to understand the role of these mutations in the development of leukemia and in response to treatment. We found that RAS mutations happen late in the course of the disease as progression mutations because they are acquired by more mature leukemic cells coming from preexisting leukemia stem cells (LSCs). Importantly, these more mature cells, upon acquisition of RAS mutations, become leukemia stem cells (LSCs) with different properties than the previous LSCs. Most critically, they develop resistance to a recently FDA-approved drug for the treatment of leukemia, venetoclax (VEN). In addition, these RAS-mutated LSCs give rise to leukemia cells with monocytic differentiation. Both RAS mutations and monocytic differentiation of AML have previously been associated with VEN resistance in clinical studies. We show that it is the RAS mutations that cause both the monocytic differentiation and the VEN resistance. Thus, poor patient outcomes after VEN therapy are driven by RAS mutations and not by monocytic disease.  (more…)

Birth control or medical contraception is used for a variety of reasons, but its main role is to prevent unwanted pregnancies. There are many different types of birth control, so their function and ingredients vary. In general, they usually affect your hormones to make you unable to conceive 99% of the time. Birth control is also used to regulate hormonal imbalances, stop menstruation, or alleviate symptoms of conditions like polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Like any medication, birth control can come with some side effects, which may be mild for some and extreme for others. You and your doctor will factor in your health, medical history, potential side effects, and reproductive goals to figure out which birth control method is the best for your needs and body. When prescribed birth control, it’s important to understand common and uncommon side effects to avoid concerns and complications. (more…)

If you or a a loved one who is in danger of suicide or has made a suicide attempt, make sure someone stays with that person. Call 911 or your local emergency number immediately. Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org. Mental health treatment isn't one-size-fits-all. Just like physical health, mental well-being requires different levels of care based on individual needs. Some people benefit from weekly therapy sessions, while others need more structured support. Understanding these layers of care can make a world of difference. With the right support, individuals can find the balance that works for them. Whether facing mild anxiety or severe depression, there’s a level of care tailored to help each person achieve stability and resilience.

Outpatient Care: Flexible Support for Mild to Moderate Needs

Individuals managing mild to moderate mental health challenges often benefit from a flexible care option that fits seamlessly into their daily lives. This level of support is ideal for those who don’t need full-time supervision but can use regular guidance to maintain stability and build coping skills. Patients in outpatient programs maintain independence, attending sessions at their own pace and on a schedule that works best for them. Sessions typically occur weekly or bi-weekly, with each one focusing on personal growth, skill development, and progress tracking. Therapy options can include individual counseling, group sessions, or a tailored combination, allowing patients to find the mental health support that feels right. For added convenience, many choose remote care options. For example, you may  consider OpenMindHealth.com for flexible telehealth services that accommodate busy lifestyles. This kind of accessibility ensures consistent support, making outpatient care an adaptable choice for many facing mental health challenges. (more…)
Dental Research / 31.10.2024

Maintaining good oral health goes beyond brushing and flossing at home; it involves regular dental visits for professional cleanings. While many of us may view dental cleanings as just another chore, they play a crucial role in keeping our teeth and gums healthy. If you’d like to understand better the importance of regular dental cleanings and how they can benefit your overall well-being, keep reading.

Preventing Tooth Decay and Gum Disease

One of the primary benefits of regular dental cleanings is the prevention of tooth decay and gum disease. During a cleaning, a dental hygienist removes plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing may miss. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that can lead to cavities and gum inflammation if not addressed. Tartar, the hardened form of plaque, can only be removed by a dental professional. Keeping your teeth clean significantly reduces your risk of developing these common dental issues. Gum disease, which can range from mild gingivitis to more severe periodontitis, is particularly concerning. If left untreated, it can lead to tooth loss and has even been linked to systemic health issues, including heart disease and diabetes. Regular cleanings not only help keep your gums healthy but also provide an opportunity for your dentist to assess your risk factors and recommend appropriate preventive measures. (more…)
Author Interviews, Health Care Systems, JAMA, Pharmacology, University of Pittsburgh / 31.10.2024

MedicalResearch.com Interview with: Katie J. Suda, PharmD, M.S., FCCP Professor of medicine with tenure Associate Director, Center for Pharmaceutical Policy and Prescribing University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Response: Our pharmaceutical supply chain is global where the manufacturing process for one drug may occur in multiple countries. Sometimes there are breakdowns in the pharmaceutical supply chain which may threaten access to medicines. Breakdowns in the supply chain occur for medicines manufactured in the U.S. and by international partners. While breakdowns in the supply chain occur for hundreds of drugs each year, not all result in a decrease in available supply (a “drug shortage”) because of action taken by manufacturers, pharmacies and drug regulators (e.g., the U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA]). Drug shortages are a critical concern to public health as pharmacies, clinicians, and patients struggle to identify safe and effective alternatives. In addition, drug shortages have been associated with adverse patient outcomes and medication safety events. Recently, drug shortages have gotten worse with shortages occurring with increasing frequency and lasting longer. There has also been a shift in the types of medicines in shortage from drugs primarily used in hospitals, such as injectables, to oral medicines frequently used to manage outpatient conditions. Countries have different regulatory authority and policy which may impact how drug supply chain breakdowns result in drug shortages. We wanted to know if there are differences between the U.S. and Canada in the frequency that national drug shortages occur after supply chain breakdowns are reported in both countries. Canada is a good comparator to the U.S. because Canada has similar drug regulatory standards and manufacturing inspections. Prescription drug coverage is also similar for the two countries where half of prescriptions are reimbursed through public insurance and half through private insurance and out-of-pocket. (more…)
Hormone Therapy / 31.10.2024

Editor's note: This article discusses growth hormone for research purposes only.  Do no take growth hormone or endocrine supplements unless specifically directed to do so by your health care provider.  Peptides have gained increasing interest in scientific domains due to their potential to regulate various biological processes. Growth Hormone-Releasing Peptide-2 (GHRP-2) and CJC-1295 have been of particular focus. While individually studied for their potential to modulate growth hormone release and other physiological functions, their combined implications for emerging research remain an emerging topic of interest. This article aims to explore the potential implications of a GHRP-2 and CJC-1295 blend in scientific research, particularly in fields such as metabolism, tissue regeneration, and neurological function. The blend, by engaging with endocrine and cellular pathways, may open new research avenues in understanding and manipulating growth hormone (GH) signaling, tissue repair, and metabolic integrity.

Author Interviews, Diabetes, Kidney Disease, Nature, Semaglutide / 31.10.2024

MedicalResearch.com Interview on publication of: Prof. dr. H.J. (Hiddo) Lambers Heerspink Clinical Pharmacologist Faculty of Medical Sciences University of Groningen MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? What are the main findings? Response: The diabetes drug semaglutide, also known as Ozempic, has a positive effect for patients with chronic kidney damage and obesity. The amount of protein in their urine decreased, as did the degree of inflammation of their kidneys and their blood pressure. Hiddo L. Heerspink got the idea for this study at the beginning of the corona pandemic. Earlier, he had discovered that another class of drugs against diabetes-2, the so-called SGLT2 inhibitors also appeared to work well for patients with chronic kidney damage without diabetes. He therefore wanted to investigate whether semaglutide would also work positively for patients with chronic kidney disease and obesity. (more…)
Environmental Risks / 31.10.2024

Many everyday products contain chemicals that can negatively impact health. Items like household cleaners, personal care products, and even cosmetics are often loaded with substances linked to respiratory problems, skin irritation, and hormone disruption. These effects can accumulate over time, making it essential to reduce exposure wherever possible. For families, especially those with children or members prone to allergies, minimizing harmful chemicals at home can have lasting benefits. This growing awareness has encouraged people to seek alternatives that promote wellness. A chemical-free lifestyle doesn’t require drastic changes all at once. Instead, small adjustments—like replacing a few conventional items—can create meaningful improvements. With more consumers focused on healthier choices, the demand for safer products continues to rise. (more…)

MedicalResearch.com Interview with: Sarah Keim, PhD Associate Professor, Epidemiology College of Public Health The Ohio State University MedicalResearch.com: What is the background for this study? Response: Marijuana is the illicit substance most commonly used during pregnancy, and use is increasing. Some evidence suggests that marijuana is associated with deficits in executive function and increased delinquent behavior in school-age children and adolescents, with potential downstream impacts on achievement and social functioning. However, this evidence comes largely from only 2 studies several decades old. Today cannabis is more than 10 times more potent than it was several decades ago. (more…)
Concierge Medicine, Health Care Systems / 30.10.2024

A thriving healthcare practice should be accessible, flexible, and transparent with its patients. It can be difficult for patients to find trusted providers, and your practice should do all it can to present itself as a trustworthy medical caregiver. If you’re having trouble bringing in new patients, it may be time to evaluate your marketing and healthcare practices and improve in some areas. Learning about the most efficient practices to increase patient volume is the best way to start.

1. Establish an Online Presence

Prospective patients are more likely to choose a practice where they can learn information about your practice’s staff, policies, and reviews. They can only learn by booking an appointment or word of mouth if you have little online presence. These are not reliable recruitment practices. Create an accessible website with information about your staff, policies, and availability. Provide the services you offer and give patients an easy option to communicate with you via phone, email, or contact form (or all of the above). Provide transparent and updated information about pricing, insurance, and payment plans. (more…)
Legal-Malpractice / 30.10.2024

Medical malpractice is a serious issue that can result in significant harm to patients. However, not all unfavorable medical outcomes qualify as malpractice. Understanding what does not constitute medical malpractice is essential for both patients and healthcare providers. This article explores the distinctions and highlights common scenarios that do not meet the criteria for medical malpractice. Consulting a medical malpractice lawyer can provide clarity and guidance if you are unsure about your situation.

The Importance of Legal Representation

Determining whether an unfavorable medical outcome constitutes malpractice can be complex. Consulting a malpractice lawyer in Denver can help you understand your rights and whether you have a viable claim. An experienced attorney can provide the necessary legal expertise to navigate these challenging situations.

Understanding Medical Malpractice

Medical malpractice occurs when a healthcare provider deviates from the accepted standard of care, resulting in harm to the patient. To establish a malpractice claim, the following elements must be proven:

As a dog owner, ensuring your furry friend's health and happiness is a primary duty and yet a challenging task. Unlike humans, dogs can't vocalize their pain, so recognizing pain is all about understanding and observing the signs. As dogs are more sensitive pets, it is easy and essential to notice the changes that occur in them. Whether a minor injury, illness or something severe, early identification is crucial to prevent your dogs from further discomfort and complications. Professional support like Mesa Emergency Vet will provide immediate pet care, and it is the dog keeper's responsibility to convey what is really happening with your dog. As you scroll down to read further, you will learn about the symptoms of your dog's pain and what you can possibly do to help them.

Behavioral Changes

Dogs are typically energetic and social creatures, but if they are not feeling well, they suddenly withdraw, become lethargic, or avoid interaction, just like how humans react to a situation. Changes in the behavior are not only unusual actions, but they may also growl, snap or even get agitated in a situation where they wouldn't normally react; if so, it has to be treated as soon as possible. If they are whining, whimpering or licking a specific area, they communicate their distress. Paying close attention to its daily behavior and treating the discomfort could soon let them relax to a normal state. (more…)
