Podcasts about Rems

In this episode, Dr. Doug Lucas and Sarah Glicken delved into the complexities of bone health, emphasizing its crucial role in longevity. Dr. Doug noted that while osteoporosis is often seen as a condition affecting older adults, its roots can be traced back to earlier life stages, making early intervention vital. They shared the limitations of DEXA scans, particularly their inability to assess bone quality, and why they advocate for the use of REMS technology, which offers a more comprehensive evaluation by assessing bone density and microarchitecture. We also touched upon the potential dangers of conventional bone medications, such as bisphosphonates, which can lead to side effects like jaw necrosis and atypical fractures. They emphasized the importance of exploring alternative therapies that focus on lifestyle modifications that include osteogenic loading and supplementation such as vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 (not calcium!) This episode serves as a comprehensive guide for individuals seeking to understand and improve their bone health through informed choices and proactive measures.Dr. Doug Lucas is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon turned osteoporosis specialist on a mission to show the world that osteoporosis is preventable and reversible. As the VP of Women's Health, Hormone and Lifestyle Optimization at LifeMD and the creator of The OsteoCollective, he empowers individuals to optimize bone health, hormones, and HealthSpan through classic and cutting-edge strategies.Sarah Glicken is the co-founder of Precision Bone Imaging, a company dedicated to shifting the narrative around aging—starting with skeletal health.

Un romanzo denso, denso di accadimenti e di personaggi, ma anche denso di riflessioni sul sé, sul male, le ombre e la scrittura. Un romanzo denso a partire dalla voce narrante che usa la prima persona plurale, il noi, che contiene una moltitudine. Parliamo di "Qualcuno di noi" di Pietro Grossi (Mondadori). Lo scrittore gioca con la sua biografia e le sue memorie consegnando al lettore il racconto di una vita fatta di estremi (le droghe), di attrazione per la violenza e per le ombre, una vita fatta anche di menzogne, di immaginazione e di amore per la scrittura. Già a nove anni il protagonista racconta bugie e bullizza i compagni. Da ragazzo aggredisce un coetaneo colpendolo alla testa con un lucchetto, un episodio destinato a segnare tutta la sua vita. Un libro in cui l'autore mette a nudo le luci e le ombre, le tante ombre, della sua vita che diventa romanzo. Nella seconda parte parliamo del thriller psicologico "La torre d'avorio" (Neri Pozza) di Paola Barbato. Al centro c'è Mara, affetta dalla "sindrome di Münchausen per procura", un disturbo che spinge un soggetto a provocare danni fisici a persone alle quali vuole bene, soprattutto i figli, per ricevere dagli altri compassione. La donna ha passato tredici anni in una Rems, quelli che un tempo venivano chiamati ospedali psichiatrici giudiziari: aveva avvelenato con la digitossina il marito e i due figli piccoli, tutti miracolosamente sopravvissuti. Da alcuni anni la donna vive in un appartamento pieno di scatole (la torre d'avorio) dal quale esce il meno possibile. Tutto cambia quando scopre che l'uomo che abita nell'appartamento sopra al suo è stato ucciso, proprio con la digitossina. Essendo la principale indiziata, scappa. Ma chi ha ucciso quest'uomo e soprattutto perché si vuole spingere la polizia a sospettare di Mara?

Sul suo sito "Giustiziari", il giornalista Massimo Cavoli racconta di G., un giovane reatino che nel 2008 si tolse la vita annodando le lenzuola alle sbarre della finestra di una cella dell'ospedale psichiatrico giudiziario di Castiglione delle Stiviere, dove era stato trasferito da Rieti perché la sua condizione appariva incompatibile con il regime carcerario. La storia è tristemente simile a tante altre. G., tossicodipendente, si lasciava andare a comportamenti violenti nei periodi di astinenza, aggredendo anche alcuni familiari. Era stato arrestato per violenze ed era stato trasferito nell'ex ospedale psichiatrico in provincia di Mantova, poi chiuso dopo la creazione delle Rems. Una perizia e i suoi comportamenti autolesionistici urlavano a tutti che l'ipotesi del suicidio fosse concreta. Nessuno però ritenne utile sorvegliare il giovane, e così si arrivò a quel lenzuolo legato intorno al collo. Alla fine, G. fu uno dei 48 suicidi registrati quell'anno. La famiglia è convinta che morire di carcere non sia roba da Paese civile, ma per tre gradi di giudizio ha avuto torto di fronte alla giustizia italiana. Cane non mangia cane, del resto. Ora l'inerzia e le responsabilità dello Stato italiano sono finite di fronte alla Corte europea dei diritti dell'uomo, che lo scorso 20 gennaio ha confermato che il caso “sarà esaminato il prima possibile”. Parrebbe una storia minima, di provincia, e invece è il succo della democrazia: uno Stato che giudica non può non avere cura delle persone - tutte le persone - che rappresenta. #LaSveglia per La NotiziaDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/la-sveglia-di-giulio-cavalli--3269492/support.

Today, I'm joined by Dr. Doug Lucas, a leading expert on osteoporosis, as we dive deep into innovative approaches for reversing this widespread bone disease. With over 50 million people in the U.S. affected by osteoporosis, understanding the causes and solutions is more crucial than ever. In this conversation, we explore how osteoporosis develops as a result of an imbalance in the body's metabolic processes, making bones more fragile and prone to fractures. Dr. Lucas shares his expertise on shifting away from traditional pharmacological treatments and embracing lifestyle and dietary changes. We discuss the power of hormone replacement therapy, the importance of personalized nutrition, and how comprehensive testing like REMS ultrasound and blood panels can uncover the root causes of bone loss. If you're looking to optimize your health span, identify the early signs of osteoporosis, and learn how to incorporate nutrition and exercise into your routine for better bone density, this episode is packed with essential insights. Tune in to uncover how small shifts in your daily habits can make a big impact on your bone health. Key Takeaways: Osteoporosis is fundamentally an imbalance of bone metabolism, which can be reversed naturally through lifestyle modifications and nutritional interventions. Hormone replacement therapy is a crucial consideration for maintaining bone health, especially in postmenopausal women. Personalized dietary plans focusing on adequate protein intake from animal sources are vital for preventing osteoporosis. Comprehensive testing, including REMS ultrasound and detailed blood panels, are essential for diagnosing and monitoring osteoporosis effectively. An integrative approach addressing diet, lifestyle, hormonal balance, and physical activity can significantly improve bone health and overall well-being. More About Dr. Doug Lucas: Dr. Doug Lucas is a double board-certified physician specializing in osteoporosis reversal, hormone replacement, and healthspan. After completing his training at Stanford University and practicing for nearly a decade in the field of orthopedic surgery, Dr. Doug left his practice to pursue an additional fellowship and board certification in anti-aging and regenerative medicine. He went on to achieve the status of fellow in Anti-Aging and Metabolic Medicine. This functional and hormone training gave him the breadth and depth of knowledge to support his deeply held philosophy of patient care and start Optimal Human Health MD (OHH), his nationwide telehealth practice.

Osteoporosis, a condition causing weakened bones and increased fracture risk, is typically diagnosed using imaging tests like DEXA and REMS. However, conflicting results between these tests can create confusion for patients and doctors. The Vertebral Bone Quality (VBQ) score, derived from lumbar spine MRIs, offers a promising secondary tool to clarify bone health status. It provides an additional layer of assessment to help guide treatment decisions, particularly when discrepancies arise.

Dr. Doug reviews his own Echolite REMS report, discussing the differences between REMS and DEXA scans, the interpretation of bone health metrics, and his personal journey with bone health. He emphasizes the importance of understanding fragility scores and bone quality, and shares insights on community resources for those looking to improve their bone health.

In this episode, we will discuss the definition of REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies), why they exist, the role of FDA in administering REMS, types and examples of REMS, and how they impact pharmacy practice. Key Concepts The REMS (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies) program was developed in 2007 as part of the FDA's drug risk management strategies designed to balance risk and benefits of certain drugs. Elements of REMS vary depending on the drug, but commonly include medication guides, communication plans, and other elements to assure safe use. REMS can require patients, providers, and pharmacies to take certain actions including training, registration, enrollment, safety monitoring, documentation of safety concerns, and follow prescribing and dispensing regulations.  The FDA captures and assesses data on a regular basis to make changes in the REMS program. It also has authority to enforce compliance and take punitive actions against non-compliant parties. References Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies. Food and Drug Administration. May 16, 2023.

“Just like with anything we do in oncology, a lot of education is required. Nurses and coordinators are critical to start the education and provide effective resources that are reinforced throughout the treatment,” ONS member Beth Faiman, PhD, MSN, APN-BC, AOCN®, BMTCN®, FAAN, FAPO, advanced practice provider at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, BMTCN®, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about how to address knowledge gaps and barriers to practice regarding patients who are preparing for or who have received CAR T-cell therapy for hematologic malignancies. Faiman was one of the content experts for two ONS focus groups on the topic in March 2023. This podcast episode is produced by ONS and supported by funding from Janssen Oncology and Legend Biotech.

Highlights From Today's Episode “Just like with anything we do in oncology, there is a lot of education that is required. The same navigators that take care of our patients through the transplant and cellular therapy process, we have similar cellular coordinators that were part of the focus group. These navigators were critical to start the education and provide effective resources that were reinforced throughout the treatment.” Timestamp (TS) 09:00 “The nurses and coordinators play a huge role during the transition of care. Not only do they help with coordinating appointments, but also the scheduling of tests and coordinating with the referring team. I heard a lot in the focus groups about the nurses communicating from inpatient to outpatient, and also coordinating from center to center.” TS 10:22 “Patients can get really nervous when they're feeling sick. I explain it to them like, “You know how you get a flu shot, and you might get a little reaction as we're training your immune system to provide immunity? Well, it's like that, but way worse.' So, you can get really sick feeling and achy from this, and so that psychosocial support is super important.” TS 18:16 “It takes a lot of burden on the patient, caregiver, and the nurse to really be astute to those symptoms and intervene. We do provide wallet cards to patients. We educate the emergency department staff. We also heard about the infection monitoring and caregiver support is absolutely critical. Fortunately, the symptom management has become quite standardized, which really affords the nurses more autonomy to intervene more efficiently.” TS 20:46 “The nurses found for education a teach-back tool to be quite useful. One of the nurses mentioned asking the patient questions such as, ‘What will you do when you have a fever? Tell me what you do,' and “What do you understand from what the doctor just told you?' And so that was just kind of a way that they could go back and forth with the educational process and really understand what the patients understood.” TS 25:46

Today, Liz and Andrew break down Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk's late-night Friday stay order that essentially overrules the FDA and removes mifepristone (the abortion pill) from the list of approved drugs. How bad is it? Is a parallel decision from a federal court on Washington part of the solution? What's next?  Listen and find out!
