Self-management support interventions for persons with chronic disease: an evidence-based analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: The Stanford CDSMP led to statistically significant, albeit clinically minimal, short-term improvements across a number of health status measures (including some measures of health-related quality of life), healthy behaviours, and self-efficacy compared to usual care. However, there was no evidence to suggest that the CDSMP improved health care utilization. More research is needed to explore longer-term outcomes, the impact of self-management on clinical outcomes, and to better identify responders and non-responders. PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY: Self-management support interventions are becoming more common as ...

Machine Learning For Identifying Potentially Undiagnosed Post-Stroke Spasticity Patients In United Kingdom
Spasticity is one of the well-recognized complications of stroke which may give rise to pain and limit patients’ ability to perform daily activities. The predisposing factors and direct effects of post-stroke spasticity (PSS) also involve high management costs in terms of healthcare resources and case-control designs are required for establishing such differences. In ‘The Health Improvement Network’ (THIN) database, such a study was difficult to provide reliable estimates since the prevalence of post-stroke spasticity was found to be substantially below the most conservative previously reported estimates.

How to help patients make heart health changes: Q&A with Dr. Rakotz
Dietary and lifestyle changes are difficult to make. Once habits are formed, the effort that is required to change is often overwhelming for both patients and physicians. This week, Michael Rakotz, MD, director of chronic disease prevention with the AMA’s Improving Health Outcomes initiative, provides guidance from his own experience as a primary care physician on approaching heart healthy changes with patients. AMA Wire®: In our Twitter poll, the public thought 2:1 that exercise would benefit their heart health more than dietary changes. Why is that?

Expert advice: How to help an addicted friend or family member get help
    Experts understand that addiction isn’t a weakness or moral failing; it’s an illness, much like cancer or heart disease. And It often falls to family members and friends to convince their addicted loved one to seek help. The task can feel like negotiating an emotional minefield with anger, obfuscation and denial among the likely outcomes. How do you know if there’s a problem, when do you intervene and how? Dr. Timothy Fong, associate clinical professor of psychiatry and director of the UCLA Addiction Medicine Clinic, provided guidance in the July 2015 issue of UCLA Magazine. An edited version of the article fo...

Hacking The Nervous System
(Photo: © Job Boot) One nerve connects your vital organs, sensing and shaping your health. If we learn to control it, the future of medicine will be electric.When Maria Vrind, a former gymnast from Volendam in the Netherlands, found that the only way she could put her socks on in the morning was to lie on her back with her feet in the air, she had to accept that things had reached a crisis point. “I had become so stiff I couldn’t stand up,” she says. “It was a great shock because I’m such an active person.”It was 1993. Vrind was in her late 40s and working two jobs, athletics coach and a carer for disabled ...

Inflammatory Claims About Inflammation
We all appreciate the elegance of simple solutions to complex problems. But we know too that simplicity can often masquerade as truth, hiding a more nuanced reality. Such is the case with inflammation, where pseudoscience, exaggerated claims, false promises, and dangerous oversimplification have dominated for too long. Here is a typical missive: "Inflammation controls our lives. Have you or a loved one dealt with pain, obesity, ADD/ADHD, peripheral neuropathy, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, migraines, thyroid issues, dental issues, or cancer? If you answered yes to any of these disorders you are dealing with inflammatio...

Things I Wish I'd Known When I Was Younger

Idaho mom goes the distance to help teen with scoliosis
“You want a hospital with the best technology and the best nurses and doctors in the country. You expect that, and you expect it to be clean. Boston Children’s has all of that,” says Lisa Findlay, a mom from Hayden, Idaho. “What made the difference was how much everyone loves these kids. Everyone who walked into Aaron’s room, from the surgeons to nurses’ aides to janitors and child life specialists, was on a mission to help Aaron.” From the time he was born, Aaron encountered one medical challenge after another. He was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), a serious congenital heart defect. By...

Modulation of acid-sensing ion channels: molecular mechanisms and therapeutic potential.
Authors: Chu XP, Papasian CJ, Wang JQ, Xiong ZG Abstract Increases in extracellular proton concentrations, which takes place in physiological conditions such as synaptic signaling and pathological conditions such as tissue inflammation, ischemic stroke, traumatic brain injury, and epileptic seizure, activates a unique family of membrane ion channels; the acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs). All ASICs belong to amiloride-sensitive degenerin/epithelial Na(+) channel superfamily. Four genes encoded at seven sub-units have been identified. ASICs are expressed primarily in neurons and have been shown to play critical role...
