I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Tandem gets FDA clearance for a new infusion set. The company shared in an SEC filing that its Capillary Biomedical (CapBio) subsidiary won clearance for its SteadiSet Infusion Set. SteadiSet features an integrated inserter with a hidden needle designed for one-handed insertion. It received clearance to deliver insulin for up to three days of use. However, Tandem plans to submit a separate request to extend the indicated use time to up to seven days. It doesn't expect to begin commercial activities for SteadiSet until after it receives clearance for the extended use time. Many of us have been following this since Tandem acquired CapBio back in 2022.. it's been pretty hush hush – CapBio has never accepted my requests for interviews, so I'm excited to see this approval, mostly because my son really really needs it! https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/tandem-capbio-fda-clearance-insulin-infusion-set/ XX   Insulet just announced via an email to health care providers that Dexcom G7 compatibility with the Omnipod 5 iPhone app will be released IN THE COMING WEEKS! Great news for people with #t1d and XX Sernova announces positive interim data from its ongoing Phase 1/2 clinical trial in patients with T1D. this is their Cell Pouch Bio-hybrid Organ as a functional cure for type 1 diabetes (T1D), today Interim data from 12 patients with transplanted human donor islet cells show patients achieving insulin independence, islet cell engraftment in Cell Pouch, islet function, islet survival, improved glycemic control, improved patient reported quality of life (QOL) and improved awareness of hypoglycemia and increased sensitivity to severe hypoglycemic symptoms. Improvement in patient outcomes was correlated with a cumulative increase in the quantity of transplanted islets. Based on these findings, the study is on track to meet its primary and secondary endpoints, and the confirmatory Cohort C is expected to initiate in H2 2025.   Clinical trials with iPSC islet-like clusters from Sernova's partner, Evotec, are anticipated to begin in 2026 after completion of Cohort C of the ongoing trial. These interim findings, with 8 of 12 patients achieving insulin independence so far, support the thesis that Sernova's high volume ten channel Cell Pouch, used in Cohort B, plus an optimised immune suppression regimen, has the potential to achieve insulin independence, without portal vein transplant, in our planned clinical trial with Evotec's high quality iPSC islet-like clusters. Measured HbA1c (a blood test that shows the average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months) in patients with Cell Pouch alone, showed that 9 of 12 patients had a reduced value within the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommended range of

Functional Medicine Research with Dr. Nikolas Hedberg
Can Ginkgo Biloba Help Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?

Functional Medicine Research with Dr. Nikolas Hedberg

If you're struggling with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) or debilitating tiredness that just won't go away, you're not alone—and you're not imagining things. Millions of people suffer from persistent fatigue that conventional medicine often fails to resolve. Fatigue and stress can make everyday tasks like working at a computer feel overwhelming, as seen in this image, which represents the experience of many with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) At the Hedberg Institute, I'm always researching botanical compounds that support microcirculation, mitochondrial health, and immune regulation—all vital in restoring energy. That's why I formulated VascuSelect, a synergistic supplement that contains three powerful plant extracts: Ginkgo biloba, grape seed extract, and mango whole fruit powder. Let's dive into why Ginkgo biloba, in particular, stands out for those dealing with ME/CFS and how it works alongside other ingredients in VascuSelect to support your energy and vitality. An Important Study: Ginkgo Biloba for ME/CFS A recent paper published in Frontiers in Pharmacology (2022) titled “A Botanical Product Containing Cistanche and Ginkgo Extracts Potentially Improves Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Symptoms in Adults: A Randomized, Double-Blind, and Placebo-Controlled Study” sheds important light on Ginkgo's role in combating chronic fatigue. In this gold-standard clinical trial, 101 adults with ME/CFS received a botanical supplement combining Ginkgo biloba extract (120 mg/day) and Cistanche tubulosa extract (300 mg/day) or a placebo for 60 days. The results were impressive: Significant reductions in fatigue severity Improved physical performance and VO₂ max Enhanced antioxidant status and reduced oxidative stress markers Improved sleep quality and concentration Enhanced quality of life (QOL) and sexual life (SLQ) scores Decreased blood levels of lactic acid and ammonia (both fatigue biomarkers) What's particularly exciting is that Ginkgo biloba played a central role in this formulation. The authors noted that Ginkgo's flavonoids and terpenoids contribute to neuroprotection, vasodilation, and mitochondrial support, all of which are key areas of dysfunction in ME/CFS patients. This study confirms that Ginkgo biloba, known for enhancing blood flow and antioxidant activity, can play a central role in reducing the burdens of ME/CFS. How Ginkgo Biloba Helps Fight Fatigue Ginkgo biloba (standardized to 24% flavonol glycosides and 6% terpenes) is one of the most studied botanical extracts for circulatory and cognitive health. But its applications go far beyond brain support—especially for those with energy-depleting illnesses like ME/CFS. Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest and most studied medicinal plants. It's been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine, but modern science is now validating its applications for conditions like ME/CFS, fibromyalgia, and Long COVID. 1. Improves Microcirculation Ginkgo biloba increases blood flow, especially in the small vessels of the brain and extremities. This is critical in ME/CFS, where impaired oxygen delivery to tissues can worsen fatigue. 2. Supports Mitochondrial Function Many people with ME/CFS experience dysfunctional mitochondria—the energy-producing engines of cells. Ginkgo has been shown to protect mitochondrial membranes and improve ATP production, helping the body generate more usable energy. 3. Reduces Oxidative Stress Oxidative stress is a hallmark of ME/CFS and contributes to inflammation, brain fog, and fatigue. Ginkgo's rich flavonoid profile helps neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative damage. In the study mentioned above, participants taking Ginkgo and Cistanche showed significant increases in antioxidant enzymes like SOD and CAT. 4. Enhances Neurotransmitter Function Ginkgo biloba modulates neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine—chemicals that regulate mood,

On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your Quality of Life (QOL) right now?  Today Allan Crockett returns as our guest as we rip the band aid off the question that may be bouncing off the walls of your mind, "Is this the Quality of Life that I want going forward? We take a three-leg'd approach as we start with looking at how we can generate "Time and Money" in one area of a QOL, then we discuss "Relationships" as a second leg and is our dedication to the business a higher priority than our relationships, and we end on "Purpose".  If you're lying on your death bed, are you going to be happy with how you fulfilled your purpose in life? So again, I ask, how would you rate your quality of life? Do you have all the time and money you need, are your relationship healthy, and are you fulfilling your purpose in Life? If it's all good, no need to listen on, but if one or more of those three areas are lacking… then listen in! #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #cowpunchercoffee #productivity #happyranching #legacy #parasite #Norbrook #Tauramox

In a conversation with CancerNetwork®, Rachel A. Millstein, PhD, MHS; Loren Winters, NP; and Amy Comander, MD, discussed their article titled Implementing a Multidisciplinary Lifestyle Medicine Clinic for Cancer Survivorship, which was published in the November 2024 issue of ONCOLOGY®. The authors detailed the implementation of a novel oncology-based multidisciplinary lifestyle medicine clinic that may help enhance the quality of life (QOL) among survivors of cancer. Millstein is a psychologist in the Behavioral Medicine Program and an assistant professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. Winters is an oncology nurse practitioner and assistant director of the Lifestyle Medicine Program at Massachusetts General Hospital. Comander is the medical director of Mass General Cancer Center-Waltham, director of the Breast Oncology Program at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, and director of the Lifestyle Medicine Program at Massachusetts General Hospital. Millstein outlined the rationale for this publication on the development of a multidisciplinary lifestyle medicine clinic, highlighting a need to boost general awareness and support for lifestyle medicine consultations and health behavior change in cancer survivor care. Winters then explained how the multidisciplinary clinic works in alignment with 6 key pillars of lifestyle medicine, as team members aim to promote physical activity, plant-predominant diets, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and social connections to enhance QOL among cancer survivors. Additionally, Comander highlighted how the lifestyle medicine program optimizes health and well-being by matching patients to the specific services they require, which may include the help of team members such as board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners, registered dietitians, and clinical psychologists. Millstein and Winters then detailed the improvements in health behaviors associated with 2 patient cases at their program, demonstrating the potential benefits of implementing broad and diverse lifestyle medicine tools in oncology-supportive care. Looking ahead, Comander described the importance of addressing gaps in education, a lack of programs focused on areas such as weight management, and other barriers to the implementation of lifestyle medicine in oncology care. Finally, each author expressed her hope to see more colleagues, clinics, and programs incorporate lifestyle medicine as part of elevating QOL among survivors of cancer. The authors invite listeners to contact them if they would like to find ways to implement lifestyle medicine in their respective centers.

CancerNetwork® spoke with Natasha Bahri, MD, MS, and Daneng Li, MD, about their Hot Topics article titled Casting a Wide NET: When Is the Optimal Time for 177Lu-Dotatate Treatment?, which was published in the November 2024 issue of ONCOLOGY®. Their article focused on findings related to the use of 177Lutetium-Dotatate (177Lu-dotatate; Lutathera) in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) and whether these data supported the use of the novel radioligand therapy for this population. Bahri is a PGY-5 chief fellow in Medical Oncology and Hematology at City of Hope National Medical Center in Duarte, California. Li is an associate professor in the Department of Medical Oncology & Therapeutics Research at City of Hope Comprehensive Cancer Center in Duarte, California, and a gastrointestinal editorial board member of ONCOLOGY. Bahri and Li discussed findings from the phase 3 NETTER-1 trial (NCT01578239) assessing 177Lu-dotatate for those with inoperable, locally advanced or metastatic, grade 1/2 midgut NETs following progression on long-acting repeatable octreotide therapy. Although these findings established a significant efficacy signal with the radioligand therapy, Li noted that questions remained regarding the sequencing of 177Lu-dotatate alongside other therapies in the treatment landscape. The conversation also covered efficacy, safety, and quality-of-life (QOL) data from the phase 3 NETTER-2 trial (NCT03972488), in which investigators assessed high-dose octreotide with or without 177Lu-dotatate among patients with locally advanced or metastatic, well-differentiated, somatostatin receptor–positive gastroenteropancreatic NETs. Although data showed improvements in efficacy with the 177Lu-dotatate combination, there did not appear to be significant differences regarding QOL outcomes between arms. “We're waiting for further long-term follow-up information as there was no difference in the QOL metrics. It's important to think about how these patients' goals align with the therapy that we're giving, and if we're not seeing a difference in the quality of life quite yet, [we need to] look at individual patients, see what their goals are, and match them up to the therapy that we're giving them,” Bahri stated. Although the NETTER-1 and NETTER-2 trials demonstrate “great” results associated with efficacy end points such as progression-free survival, the authors noted that it is crucial to weigh these benefits with the potential toxicities when determining suitable candidates for treatment with 177Lu-dotatate. “There's a lot of nuances in terms of who is the ideal patient that's going to maximally benefit [while] minimizing any risk of serious toxicity in those patients. As a result of that, we're helping to improve their outcomes to the highest bars possible, whether it's quality of life or survival,” Li concluded.

Question #37 Mr. S is an 80-year-old man with a history of hypertension, type II diabetes mellitus, and hypothyroidism who had an anterior myocardial infarction (MI) treated with a drug-eluting stent to the left anterior descending artery (LAD) 45 days ago. His course was complicated by a new LVEF reduction to 30%, and left bundle branch block (LBBB) with QRS duration of 152 ms in normal sinus rhythm. He reports he is feeling well and is able to enjoy gardening without symptoms, though he experiences dyspnea while walking to his bedroom on the second floor of his house. Repeat TTE shows persistent LVEF of 30% despite initiation of goal-directed medical therapy (GDMT). What is the best next step in his management?AMonitor for LVEF improvement for a total of 60 days prior to further interventionBImplantation of a dual-chamber ICDCImplantation of a CRT-DDContinue current management as device implantation is contraindicated given his advanced age Answer #37 Explanation Choice C is correct. Implantation of a CRT-D is the best next step. In patients with nonischemic DCM or ischemic heart disease at least 40 days post-MI with LVEF ≤35% and NYHA class II or III symptoms on chronic GDMT, who have reasonable expectation of meaningful survival for >1 year,ICD therapy is recommended for primary prevention of SCD to reduce total mortality (Class 1, LOE A). A transvenous ICD provides high economic value in this setting, particularly when a patient's risk of death from ventricular arrhythmia is deemed high and the risk of nonarrhythmic death is deemed low. In addition, for patients who have LVEF ≤35%, sinus rhythm, left bundle branch block (LBBB) with a QRS duration ≥150 ms, and NYHA class II, III, orambulatory IV symptoms on GDMT, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is indicated to reduce total mortality, reduce hospitalizations, and improve symptoms and QOL. Cardiac resynchronization provides high economic value in this setting. Mr.

Ep. 11 A Spine Surgeon Who Refuses to Quit: A Battle for Better Spine Care, Evalina Burger, MD   In this episode of The Spine Pod, hosts Courtney Schutze and Brady Riesgraf sit down with Dr. Evalina Burger, an orthopedic spine surgeon at the UCHealth Spine Center - Anschutz Medical Campus. Dr. Burger recounts her transformative journey from South Africa to the United States, where she has established herself as a leader and innovator at the forefront of spine care. She goes on to share about her own spinal cord injury and how that has changed her perspective and approach to spine surgery. Dr. Burger specializes in complex spine surgery, deformity and scoliosis, and has also been an outspoken advocate and pioneer for motion-preserving spine implants. She has been an investigator in multiple FDA clinical trials, including the TOPS facet replacement from Premia Spine, showing her commitment to research and improving patient care. With her background and incredible personal journey, Dr. Burger has prioritized patient quality of life and is constantly searching for new ways to improve long-term outcomes for her patients.   In this episode you'll learn: The importance of new perspectives in order to innovate on currently held treatment methods. How quality of life (QoL) is becoming the new outcome metric that providers are beginning to evaluate their surgical outcomes. Where motion preserving spine surgeries fit into the care continuum and how we can begin to give patients longer lasting results. How spinal fusion has been utilized by surgeons for many decades and how that approach as a primary treatment method is beginning to shift. The importance of resilience on growth and overcoming hurdles in life; how to create great outcomes from challenging situations. How the treatment for leg and/or back pain is beginning to change and what new options are becoming available to patients seeking spine care.   As someone who dreamed about being a surgeon as a child, Dr. Burger has accomplished that and much more throughout her years in surgery. Currently holding the title of Department Chair of Orthopedics at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, she has established herself as a leader and role model within the spine community. Dr. Burger has also contributed more than 95 peer-reviewed journal articles, proving her lasting commitment to research and patient outcomes.   Whether you're a patient, industry professional, or provider, this episode provides a breadth of experience and knowledge that you won't want to miss.   Learn more about Dr. Burger and UCHealth Spine Center - Anschutz Medical Campus: Website: https://www.uchealth.org/provider/evalina-burger-van-der-walt-md/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/evalina-burger-145a7835/   You can find The Spine Pod on all Podcast Streaming Platforms, including: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcA8vODr8pDabWImOrHv3ZQ  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0DBzWfV...

In this episode of SurgOnc Today®, Dr. Patrick Sullivan is joined by Dr. Nicole Lopez and Dr. César Reátegui to discuss diverting ostomy. Current practice guidelines suggest that diverting ostomy is the standard of care in surgical management of rectal cancer after neoadjuvant therapy to minimize the risk of clinically significant leak which can then result in permanent colostomy. However, the risk of anastomotic leak after neoadjuvant chemoradiation ranges from 4-12% suggesting that most patients have unnecessary ostomy and additional surgery. With improvement of surgical techniques, utilization of robotic surgery and recent adoption of more TNT approaches, selective use of diverting ostomy will lead to improvement in QOL and decrease in health care costs with minimal impact on incidence of permanent colostomy.

Join me for a summary looking at fixed versus removable functional appliances. This podcast sheds light on recent research comparing the main two types of functional appliances, which appliance offers the most advantages, and what patients think about the two appliance types. This was a lecture given by Ama Johal at last year's British Orthodontic Conference, where the most recent evidence carried out by his PhD student Moaiyad Pacha.      Moaiyad Pacha's RCT 2023 – received Dewel 2024 clinical research award ·      Hanks Herbst Vs Modified Twinblock o   Rollo bands o   Expansion o   No fixed appliances o   Incremental advancement – no evidence to support but patient-centred ·      Overjet correction: More effective Herbst at 7mm Vs 5.8mm Twinblock , ·      Molar and skeletal changes: no difference o   Twinblock = greater residual overjet after treatment p=0.2 ·      Dental changes: Herbst advance lower incisor greater 3mm Vs 1mm ·      Failure to complete: 17% Herbst Vs 37% twin block o   3 times greater likelihood of discontinue treatment OR 2.8 ·      Treatment duration: longer with Twinblock 1.5 months 8.8 Vs 10.3, and quicker rate of correction with Herbst ·      Chairside time : Greater than Twinblock 2.7 hours longer, 7.6 Vs 4.9 ·      Emergency appointments greater with Hanks Herbst 2.7 Vs 0.3 o   Herbst mainly ·      Severe complications = same 0.5 o   Severe complications – previously defined as involving lab work or break in appliance wear from Pasha's SR 2020     Advantage of Hanks Herbst ·      Greater completion of treatment, 3 times less likely to discontinue ·      Quicker rate of correction, shorter duration,   Disadvantages ·      Greater chairside time of nearly 3 hours ·      Greater emergency appointments, each patient needing 2-3 emergency appointments   Qualitative ·      Both appliances – very negative to QoL and daily life ·      Aesthetic and self-image – worse with Twinblock ·      Patient preference – Herbst o   Due to non-compliance and likely to get to the end ·      Positive Twinblock is flexible and easier to eat   Conclusion was profound ·      Patients prefer Herbst, based on aesthetics, self image and non-compliance ·      Clinicians are likely to prefer Twinblock, quicker, easier, less emergencies   Time to reconsider, and having both options, as well as both discussing of clinician Vs patient preferences,  should decide which appliance

The following question refers to Section 13 of the 2022 AHA/ACC/HFSA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure.The question is asked by Western Michigan University medical student and CardioNerds Intern Shivani Reddy, answered first by Mayo Clinic Cardiology Fellow and CardioNerds Academy Faculty Dr. Dinu Balanescu, and then by expert faculty Dr. Harriette Van Spall.Dr. Van Spall is an Associate Professor of Medicine, cardiologist, and Director of E-Health at McMaster University. Dr Van Spall is a Canadian Institutes of Health Research-funded clinical trialist and researcher with a focus on heart failure, health services, and health disparities.The Decipher the Guidelines: 2022 AHA / ACC / HFSA Guideline for The Management of Heart Failure series was developed by the CardioNerds and created in collaboration with the American Heart Association and the Heart Failure Society of America. It was created by 30 trainees spanning college through advanced fellowship under the leadership of CardioNerds Cofounders Dr. Amit Goyal and Dr. Dan Ambinder, with mentorship from Dr. Anu Lala, Dr. Robert Mentz, and Dr. Nancy Sweitzer. We thank Dr. Judy Bezanson and Dr. Elliott Antman for tremendous guidance.Enjoy this Circulation 2022 Paths to Discovery article to learn about the CardioNerds story, mission, and values. Question #32 Palliative and supportive care has a role for patients with heart failure only in the end stages of their disease. TRUE FALSE Answer #32 Explanation The correct answer is False Palliative care is patient- and family-centered care that optimizes health-related quality of life by anticipating, preventing, and treating suffering and should be integrated into the management of all stages of heart failure throughout the course of illness. The wholistic model of palliative care includes high-quality communication, estimation of prognosis, anticipatory guidance, addressing uncertainty, shared decision-making about medically reasonable treatment options, advance care planning; attention to physical, emotional, spiritual, and psychological distress; relief of suffering; and inclusion of family caregivers in patient care and attention to their needs during bereavement. As such, for all patients with HF, palliative and supportive care—including high-quality communication, conveyance of prognosis, clarifying goals of care, shared decision-making, symptom management, and caregiver support—should be provided to improve QOL and relieve suffering (Class 1, LOE C-LD). For conveyance of prognosis, objective risk models can be incorporated along with discussion of uncertainty since patients may overestimate survival and the benefits of specific treatments – “hope for the best, plan for the worst.” For clarifying goals of care, the exploration of each patient's values and concerns through shared decision-making is essential in important management decisions such as when to discontinue treatments, when to initiate palliative treatments that may hasten death but provide symptom management, planning the location of death, and the incorporation of home services or hospice. It is a Class I indication that for patients with HF being considered for, or treated with life-extending therapies, the option for discontinuation should be anticipated and discussed through the continuum of care, including at the time of initiation, and reassessed with changing medical conditions and shifting goals of care (LOE C-LD). Caregiver support should also be offered to family members even beyond death to help them cope with the grieving process. A formal palliative care consult is not needed for each patient, but the primary team should exercise the above domains to improve processes of care and patient outcomes. Specialist palliative care consultation can be useful to improve QOL and relieve suffering for patients with heart failure—particularly tho...
