How a life-changing diagnosis ignited an interest for medical research. This is the story of Miguel Ángel , whose battle with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease underscores the critical importance of early diagnosis and continuous medical research. Miguel’s journey from a difficult diagnosis to becoming an advocate for clinical trials reflects the transformative impact research can have on patients' lives. At James Lind Care, we are motivated by Miguel’s story to connect patients with clinical trials and advance medical research.

The Emergence of Cardio-rheumatology: A Significant Advancement in Patient Care As a practicing rheumatologist, I have observed the profound impact of chronic inflammation on cardiovascular health. The field of cardio-rheumatology presents a promising opportunity to enhance patient outcomes. Key benefits of this interdisciplinary approach include: 1. Enhanced early detection capabilities 2. Tailored treatment strategies 3. Improved patient care through collaborative expertise Singapore is well-positioned to make substantial contributions to this field. Consider the potential of integrated care-collaborations where cardiologists and rheumatologists work closely. This model facilitates comprehensive care addressing both rheumatological and cardiovascular concerns simultaneously. I invite colleagues to share their perspectives on this interdisciplinary approach and its potential impact on healthcare delivery. #HealthcareAdvancement #IntegratedCare #PatientOutcomes

Functional medicine practitioners go beyond treating current symptoms. We dive deep to discover the underlying root causes. Then we apply science-based therapeutic strategies to restore balance across all bodily systems. This proactive prevention-driven methodology often identifies and addresses dysfunction before it manifests as disease. By cultivating healthy, customized lifestyle practices and removing obstacles to healing, we equip patients with the tools for lifelong vitality.

Rare Disease Day is a global initiative to raise awareness and generate support for everyone who is on a rare medical journey. It takes place on the last day of February, which this year is February 29th, the rarest day of the year. Currently appropriate therapy is available for 5 percent of patients with rare diseases, and the lack of effective treatments presents additional difficulties for those affected and their treating physicians. This highlights the need for medical and clinical research in this area, but there are serious challenges to overcome - starting with the lack of profitability, limited knowledge of the disease, to difficulty of patient enrolment to clinical trials. #rarediseaseday #clinicaltrials

But My White Count… "I'm concerned about my white blood cells..." In the New England Journal of Medicine [February 15, 2024], Dr. Robin Colgrove, an Infectious Disease consultant, highlights a common concern expressed by patients and even other healthcare providers in requested consults. This concern also relates to the diagnosis of #sepsis based solely on sepsis criteria (sepsis-1, -2, or -3), which can be categorized as "quantitative fallacy." Quantitative fallacy is a prevalent tendency among humans to give excessive importance to easily measurable factors, often overlooking the significance of more nuanced variables. This skewed perspective can lead to an incomplete understanding of complex issues and hinder our ability to make informed decisions. To counteract quantitative fallacy, it is crucial to adopt a big picture view and consider the patient's circumstances, narrative, findings, and clinical course. Examining the complete context allows healthcare providers to connect the dots, identify patterns, and grasp the full scope of the patient's condition. By considering all relevant information, clinicians can make more accurate diagnoses and develop appropriate treatment plans tailored to the individual patient's needs. It is important to note that while sepsis criteria serve as helpful guidelines for early intervention, they are not definitive in determining the presence of sepsis. While these criteria provide valuable indicators, a comprehensive evaluation of the overall context is necessary to make an accurate diagnosis. Relying solely on sepsis criteria can potentially result in underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis. Therefore, healthcare professionals should exercise clinical judgment and consider multiple factors when evaluating a patient for sepsis. #AHIMA #ACDIS #PhysicianAdvisors #ClinicalValidation #ClinicalTruth™ But My White Count… | NEJM, https://lnkd.in/g87jgKjx

𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 #𝟱 - 𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗣𝗟𝗘𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗧-𝗖𝗢𝗩𝗜𝗗 𝗦𝗬𝗡𝗗𝗥𝗢𝗠𝗘 In this lesson, we will delve into the treatment for Post-Covid Syndrome based on an integrated and holistic medical approach. This lesson in the series will be broken down into two parts. In the first part I will present to you the treatment principles, and in the second part, I will present to you the various therapies to implement those treatment principles to successfully treat Post-Covid Syndrome, prevent recurrences, and experience a good quality life long-term. The reason I want you to first understand the treatment principles before knowing the therapies used for treatment, is because treatment for Post-Covid Syndrome is not a one size fits all; each patient is unique and needs a tailored treatment plan and consistent monitoring to achieve total recovery. By the end of this lesson, you will have a clear understanding of the treatment principles behind an integrated and holistic approach, and the therapies that need to be integrated to effectively treat Post-Covid Syndrome. Let’s get started!

August is Gastroparesis Awareness Month, which is dedicated to improving understanding and management of this motility disease. Gastroparesis, also known as delayed gastric emptying, is a chronic condition that affects the stomach muscles and prevents proper movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine. The muscles of the stomach, controlled by the vagus nerve, normally contract to move food through the gastrointestinal tract. But when the vagus nerve is damaged, stomach muscles are no longer able to function the way they should, and food moves too slowly from the stomach – or stops moving altogether.
