The quest against obesity unveils a surprising ally: bariatric surgery. Not just a tool for weight loss, it's now linked to a 25% reduction in cancer risk, research reveals. Particularly beneficial for women, this surgery also slashes cancer mortality by 43%. Key Insights: Significant Weight Loss: Offers enduring solutions to combat obesity. Metabolic Boost: Enhances metabolic health, potentially lowering cancer risk. Enhanced Well-being: Improves overall quality of life and mental health. This pioneering study suggests that bariatric surgery does more than shape bodies—it could be crucial in preventing cancer. While the science delves deeper into the hows and whys, the message stands: tackling obesity can be a proactive step against cancer. #HolisticHealth #HealthyLiving #HealthTips #HealthHero #AskDrNandi #CancerPrevention #MetabolicHealth

Did you know that increased submental muscle force generation has been specifically associated with Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (#EMST) with subsequent increases in hyolarygeal complex movement, providing a strong rationale for its use as a treatment for swallowing disorders? #DYSPHAGIA #evidencebased #research References: Bhattacharyya, N.

About 8 in 10 people will have back pain sometime in their lives. Back pain can be caused by simple muscle strain, or an underlying condition like kidney stones, endometriosis, or cancer. Chronic back pain, especially in middle age, can develop for several reasons, including degenerative disc disease, nerve root irritation, arthritis, or a slipped vertebra, according to Nicholas Beatty, a physiatrist specializing in spine sports medicine at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. Here's how to treat back pain at home: bit.ly/3WoPGng

📍 Congenital and Acquired Chiari Syndrome Chiari malformation, an anomaly of the posterior cranial fossa, also known as Arnold–Chiari malformation, was described in autopsies by Hans Chiari, an Austrian pathologist, in 1891. He defined four distinct anatomical configurations in which the cerebellar tonsils (the most caudal part of the cerebellum) protruded below the lower margin of the foramen magnum.1 Several subtypes have subsequently been described, often in association with other anomalies, but the essential feature remains the descent of the cerebellar tonsils below their normal position just above the rim of the posterior fossa. With the wide availability of cerebral imaging, recognition of Chiari malformations has become common, and determining which patients have symptoms associated with this anatomical abnormality can be challenging. Many patients have atypical symptoms or borderline imaging findings. For these patients, cine flow MRI can be informative.22 Research is required in order to identify patients who would benefit from surgical decompression, delineate appropriate surgical techniques, and improve our understanding of the association of CM1 with cognitive and psychiatric symptoms.

let's make longevity simple by defining some key terminology: Lifespan is the number of years we live Healthspan is the percentage of lifespan lived in "good health" (physical, cognitive, emotional). Free of disease, frailty, and chronic pain. Sickspan is the percentage of lifespan characterized by frailty and disease. Our conventional medical system is very good at extending lifespan. Think cardiac bypass surgery, antibiotics, chemotherapy, other LIFE-saving technologies). Unfortunately, it's less good at preserving our health in the process. Therefore our sickspan is ever-expanding The goal of longevity medicine is 2-fold: Maximize healthspan so that it fills 99.99% of lifespan Minimize sickspan to the tiniest fraction of a percent of life When you focus on interventions that do the above, increased lifespan typically comes as a side effect Is that really such an outlandish goal?

Today, I’m sharing my true colors for World Lymphedema Day! A day to raise awareness of lymphedema, a condition that is much more common worldwide than previously thought, is only minimally known in the medical community, and for which there are few treatment options. Fortunately, with an early diagnosis, the progression of lymphedema can be slowed down or even stabilized, and preventive work is often done during cancer operations to avoid lymphedema, and also surgery is coming up to cure secondary lymphedema in some cases. For primary (hereditary) lymphedema however, less options exist. Treatment mainly consists of compression, exercise and lymphatic drainage, every day. Which means self-management (and a close relation with the JOBST representatives 😊) The more information we have, the more early diagnoses can be made, and research that leads to therapies is sparked. Happy World Lymphedema Day! #lymphedemawarrior #worldlymphedemaday

"Better Luck Next Time" MRI in Epilepsy Mesial temporal sclerosis Meet the challenge: A 40-year-old's relentless battle with generalized seizures, where every MRI and EEG returned with a 'better luck next time' message. For over ten years, answers remained as elusive as a shadow. Or better, 'cryptogenic' was the diagnosis. Cryptogenic Generalized Epilepsy. After negative MRIs in 2011, 2015, and 2021, a new MRI was requested, this time revealing a discrete abnormality in the left hippocampus, a clue that had been playing hide and seek. That's why a PET scan was ordered. The PET finally confirmed intercritical hippocampal hypometabolism. The Outcome: Surgery, and the seizures? History. This clinical case isn't just about a medical victory; it's a reminder of the importance of not just looking, but seeing through advanced imaging in epilepsy diagnosis. Wherever we are, university hospital, public hospital, or private practice, maybe we can add in our recommendations the request for additional exams. Your Turn: When faced with chronic refractory epilepsy, how do you decide between PET, SPECT, or perfusion imaging? Ever had a case like this?" #EpilepsyDiagnosis #AdvancedImaging #PET
