This week, we interview Brianna Hughes and Tiffany Rezvani! Brianna and Tiffany are Speech-Language Pathologists and AAC Specialists based in Northern California. They share all about the free AAC screening tool they created, called AAC Screening, that helps educators and clinicians efficiently identify students who may benefit from AAC devices!   Before the interview, Chris shares some exciting news about going to Communication Matters in the UK this year! Chris will try and gather recordings while he is at the conference to share on a future podcast!   Key Ideas this Week:   Development of an AAC Screening Tool: Brianna and Tiffany created an AAC screening tool designed to streamline the assessment process for students in moderate and moderate-severe self-contained classrooms, particularly focusing on younger students (pre-K to kindergarten). This tool helps identify students who need AAC support more efficiently, allowing professionals to allocate more time to implementation rather than lengthy assessments.   Benefits of Screening and Implementation: The AAC screening tool has reduced the stress on staff by ensuring that students are identified early, speeding up the provision of AAC devices, and freeing up time for training and support. This approach aligns with the specific language system first model, emphasizing quicker access to AAC and increased focus on real-world application and modeling rather than exhaustive device trials.   Building a Supportive AAC Culture: By screening entire classrooms and often standardizing the systems used within them, the tool has helped foster a more confident and capable environment among teachers and staff. This approach has integrated AAC into daily routines and academic curricula, leading to improved communication and literacy outcomes for students, which benefits everyone involved in the education process.   Links from This Episode:   AAC Screening Tool: aacscreen ing.com   Visit talkingwithtech.org to listen to previous episodes, find new resources, and more!   Help us develop new content and keep the podcast going strong!

Melanie Lavelle, Founder of Benefit Kitchen, joins Deepak Puri, CEO of The Democracy Labs, to discuss the impact of welfare reform and the creation of an app and database to empower people to understand what benefits are available.  Benefit Kitchen is focused on working with people to overcome obstacles and gain insight into the eligibility rules for federal, state, and local benefits. Melanie has discovered that many rules and hard-to-find information are designed to keep people from enrolling and discourage participation in programs.  The more these agencies hide, the more determined Melanie is to dig out the information and help people get necessary services and resources. Deepak and Melanie talk about: How people find out about benefit programs and who is qualified to participate Creating an app that helps people decide which benefits to pursue and how one benefit might impact another Who is most likely not to get benefits Why a mobile-first solution for this target audience is essential #BenefitKitchen @TheDemLabs #WelfareReform #GovernmentBenefits #FederalBenefits #StateBenefits #FoodStamps #SDOH #Seniors #MobileFirst  BenefitKitchen.com TheDemLabs.org  

This week's replay is Dr. Fareeha Malik, DDS, mom of 2 with a history of severe postpartum depression. PPD ended up informing her relationships and and even her reproduction. Of course, we discuss how she she found healing. Bringing home a baby doesn't always mean mom's eternal happiness. Not all mothers feel “the way they should” after the baby is born, and may feel lost if they don't know where to turn for resources. This endangers not only mom but also a newborn.In a time when 14000 children have been unalived in a completely manmade g-cide, this episode still has its place as one of the struggles mothers face. And for those of our momsisters delivering via C-section without anesthesia, delivering prematurely due to stress, shock, and manmade famine, PPD is a real threat with deep seated claws. May Allah SWT first and foremost secure the survival of our momsisters and their newborns born in an ongoing g-cide, and protect them from every evil of the heart and mind, and destroy the enemies who threaten their physical states. Ameen. We were so into the conversation that we didn't get to review the valuable resources we have for our community. check out the shownotes on our website or DM us.Links:1.

Transcript:This is the Weight and Healthcare newsletter! If you like what you are reading, please consider subscribing and/or sharing at WeightAndHealthcare.com!Sam Sessamen is someone I've had the opportunity to work with multiple times over the last three years and her work is something that I've truly appreciated. Recently she told me about a new screening tool that she had created, and I wanted to share it here in case it's helpful. Here is some background from Sam followed by a link to the screening tool.Tell us a bit about you and your backgroundI'm a therapist in NY that specializes in trauma and Eating Disorders. I am passionate about providing trauma informed and weight neutral care as a result of my own experiences with weight stigma and disordered eating.   What made you decide to create this screening?Many people struggle with disordered eating, body image issues, disordered exercise and the impacts of weight stigma. If you rely solely on standardized diagnostic screening tools and the DSM criteria, you risk missing huge populations that could benefit from working on the above-mentioned issues.Can you share the screening tool development process with us?I wanted this screening to be as comprehensive as possible so anyone struggling in the following areas could be flagged as needing support: Attitude & Thoughts Towards Food, Unhealthy Food Behaviors, Unhealthy Exercise Patterns, Body Image Struggles & Common Medical Complications because of Disordered Eating. The screening questions in each category include DSM criteria, criteria for Orthorexia and reoccurring issues that I see in my own practice that aren't typically included in a diagnostic tool (e.g. Do you feel like you are waiting to be happy until you can “lose the weight?”).Once I was happy with the questions and format, I put a call out on IG for the assessment to be reviewed. I had 5 HAES-aligned providers, including folks in larger bodies, review the assessment and give me feedback.Were there difficulties and barriers that you faced in putting the tool together?The most difficult part was trying to keep this assessment concise, specifically in the body image and attitudes toward food sections. Since weight stigma and diet culture have catastrophic effects, it would have been easy to continue adding examples of how diet culture and weight stigma show up in folks' thoughts and behaviors.How do you hope that the tool will be used?First, it's a screening tool to help mental health professionals identify folks that need help with anything that falls under the disordered eating umbrella. I specifically hope this will circulate to professionals that don't specialize in Eating Disorders. Many disordered thoughts and behaviors go unflagged by those not trained in Eating Disorders because they are deemed ‘healthy' by diet culture.Second, I hope it can be a trailhead for professionals and their clients to explore how diet culture and weight stigma impact many areas of clients' lives.You can find the screening tool here! Please note that it was created for individual patient care only and is not a standardized diagnostic tool. Please seek written permission from Samantha Sessamen, LMHC (samanthasessamenlmhc@gmail.com) if you wish to use this in any other context (educational purposes, trainings, etc).Did you find this post helpful?

Highlights From Today's Episode “When my team and I are approaching patients, what we want to know is what matters to that particular patient, what gives them a sense of meaning, what gives them a sense of purpose in their life—and we want to approach them without judgement.” Timestamp (TS) 04:22 “If you have a patient who is experiencing distress, I often recommend that you don't say, ‘Would you like to see the chaplain?' or, ‘Would you like to see spiritual health?' I often recommend that you make the referral. We know how to interface with a patient. The reason I recommend that is because a lot of times, there's a stigma associated with receiving help when someone is in distress.” TS 13:51 “When a person has a new diagnosis, that can be so overwhelming. Often, once they have a plan in place with their provider, their distress goes way down. I do think that after that first diagnosis, that's often a point where spiritual health might want to interface, and when there's changes in goals of care.” TS 16:23 “When we are able to connect with the things that give us meaning in our life, it makes us stronger, it makes us happier, it makes our life more fulfilled.” TS 23:37 “Let's say a patient is just talking your ear off. . . and the nurse just doesn't have the time or capacity to tend to the patient. It might be helpful to call in spiritual health to provide a little bit of companionship to that patient. That can actually help the nurse to be more effective in their work so they're able to the medical needs that they're needing to get to while we can absorb some of the spiritual and emotional content that the patient might be carrying.” TS 28:06 “A very simple question is, ‘What matters to you?' It's so basic, but I think that can help a nurse get to, when they're having a conversation with a patient, what gives the patient a sense of meaning in their life. . . . And I think one thing that's really important is to know that spirituality and religion are very complex. There's a lot of diversity within any given group. It's important for nurses to know that when they're interfacing with a patient of a particular religious background not to assume that they maybe have all the same beliefs as other people within that particular religious group.” TS 30:07 “We consider staff to be part of our groups of people that we're responding to, and my team and I care deeply about our nurses that work in healthcare settings. . . . Nurses have complex lives, and they're dealing with all kinds of things within their own lives—challenges with family, appointment stressors, working very hard hours, having really hard patients, having heavy caseloads—all of those things can be extraordinarily overwhelming for healthcare staff and for nurses in particular.” TS 26:31

Hypermobility is far more prevalent in dancers, circus performers and other aesthetic athletes. While some hypermobile artistic athletes have asymptomatic joint hypermobility, others have symptoms due to an underlying hypermobility or connective tissue disorder.How can a physical therapist or physician assess the bendy artist, beyond tools like the Beighton Score, and see what the artist might need by way of support?Aiko Callahan and Stephanie Greenspan, both DPTs who work a lot with dancers, circus artists and other bendy bodies, wondered this same thing. They worked with Annie Squires, DPT to publish “Management of Hypermobility in Aesthetic Performing Artists: A Review” and create a fabulous new tool, the Hypermobility Screening Tool.The two physical therapists talk through their process and how they assess new patients. They reveal screening questions to ask hypermobile artists to best understand the artist's needs.  Some areas include performer identity, scheduling issues, and self-management.The two lay out the guidelines they've put together for a physical exam and tests they use to screen for joint stability. They discuss the importance of a team approach for the hypermobile artist, and ways to help the artist grow their own support team.Finally, Aiko and Stephanie share their Hypermobility Screening Tool used to assess the presence of other systemic issues often seen in those with hypermobility.  A self-reporting screening tool, this questionnaire is designed to efficiently gather information to aid the medical professional to determine what next steps might be most appropriate.A tool that could be used by medical professionals, trainers looking to help their clients find support, or even hypermobile individuals looking for ways to communicate their issues more clearly, the screening tool is an important step forward in streamlining care for people with hypermobility disorders.For more information about Stephanie, visit ArtleticScience.com.  Aiko can be reached at AikoCallahanPT@gmail.com.  AOPT members can access the full article here.  (link the word here if possible)  https://www.orthopt.org/content/publications.  Non members can contact sklinski@orthopt.org to discuss other options.

It's not uncommon for clients to call us with a patient conflict and tell us the following: "I performed a perfect procedure and the patient is still livid. What did I do wrong?" The problem may not have been the procedure - it's possible the patient was not a good fit for the procedure in the first place. Here's what we mean: A patient suffering from a condition like body dysmorphic disorder will likely never be satisfied. Patients suffering from these conditions generally need a referral to a provider who specializes in treating such individuals. How do you broach the subject? How can you screen prospective patients for these challenges BEFORE you assume ownership of their care? Leslie Fletcher, NP-BC, is a highly respected aesthetic nurse injector who has worked since 2001 with world-renowned, celebrity dermatologists and plastic surgeons. Leslie has trained over 6,000 providers and is a master at addressing and resolving patient conflicts specific to the medispa space. Medical Justice and Leslie Fletcher, NP-BC, discuss in detail how surgeons can screen prospective patients for these conditions before treatment starts - increasing the likelihood the patient is a good fit for your practice and minimizing the risk of patient conflict. Our podcast has the details...

#166: Hart Togman - The Perfect Screening Tool For Both Landlords & Tenants On this episode Gary chats with Hart Togman, co-founder of Rent Panda.

On a special episode, Tradeoffs host Dan Gorenstein talks with a host of experts about screening for lung cancer, America's number one cancer killer. While CT scans have provided early insights into a cancer that previously wasn't caught until far too late, this tool has also led to unnecessary procedures, costs, and even disability and death for patients that may not have even been sick. You'll hear from pulmonologist Dr. Gerard Silvestri; behavioral scientist and nurse practitioner Dr. Lisa Carter-Harris; Dr. Cherie Erkmen, surgeon and director of Temple University's Lung Cancer Screening Program; Johns Hopkins oncologist Dr. Otis Brawley; Ida Pittman, a lung cancer patient, and Helena Price, her cousin and health care advocate.

Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of child death under 5, world-wide. Despite the long-lasting effects on both the child and their family and the existence of a variety of treatment options for expectant mothers at risk of preterm labour, no screening tools exist on the market for population-wide risk stratification. This project aims to develop a point-of-care (POC) predictive tool to identify women at risk of PTB at the 12th week of pregnancy by detecting cell-free nucleic acid biomarkers (so-called microRNAs or miRs) from the mother's blood. This will be done through engineering functionalised Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) probes for multiplexed microRNA sensing through oligonucleotide templated reactions and their incorporation into paper-based lateral flow assays (LFAs) for use at the POC.

TRIGGER WARNING! Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating   In honor of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week being February 22-28 of this year, I wanted to talk a bit about the different types of ED's, diet culture, and disordered eating in general contrasted with food neutrality and intuitive eating. To get into this, I also wanted to tell my story and hopefully show others that there is no "sick enough," and that you are never fully alone despite what your brain may be telling you! Resources if you or someone you know is struggling: 1-800-931-2237 (Hotline) nationaleatingdisorders.org https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/screening-tool (Screening Tool ***you can still have disordered eating issues and not have an ED!)  

Good Morning, Colorado, and welcome to the Daily Sun-Up. It’s Monday January 4th, and we’re feeling lucky to start the day with you. Join us daily for an in-depth look at one of our top stories.  Today - Researchers at the University of Colorado and Yale have developed a smell test they estimate can be as effective for coronavirus surveillance as regular PCR tests. Before we begin, let’s go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett’s book “Colorado Day by Day” Today, we take you back to January 4th, 1941 when a contract was signed authorizing the construction of one of the nation’s largest armament factories - the Denver Ordnance Plant. The works contributed to Colorado’s dramatic growth during World War II as people flocked to the state to help the country build up its defenses. And now, our feature story.  It may be cliché, in this time of heightened stress and frenzy, to remind you to stop and smell the roses. But seriously: Stop. And. Smell. The. Roses. You might find out you have COVID-19. Anosmia, which is the loss of your sense of smell, is a well-known symptom of a coronavirus infection. Studies have estimated its prevalence among people with COVID-19 at as much as 80%, which would make it as common of a symptom as cough or fever among symptomatic patients. But unlike those other two symptoms, it also occurs in people that are otherwise asymptomatic.  Now, two researchers at the University of Colorado and a Yale School of Medicine professor who grew up in Boulder think they’ve come up with a better way to conduct mass testing for coronavirus infections. Colorado Sun reporter John Ingold is here today to tell us more. When it comes to mass testing, frequency is just as important as accuracy. And PCR tests are cumbersome to administer and analyze. They’re also costly -- something that can add up quickly when organizations are trying to conduct testing on a large scale. Thus, a cheaper and simpler, although less accurate, test that can be conducted more frequently can be just as valuable.   Derek Toomre, a professor of cell biology at the Yale School of Medicine who was one of the authors on the study, says that [quote] “Your lack in accuracy is more than made up in frequency,”  Toomre said he’s talking with manufacturers, with the hope of producing hundreds of millions of cards that can be sold for 50 cents or less, assuming it receives federal approval. He said they also plan to donate large numbers of tests to nonprofits. And thank you all for listening. Finally, here are a few stories you should know about today: Two Pueblo County sheriff’s deputies were shot Friday afternoon while trying to confront a man who, from his home in Pueblo West, was making threats toward government buildings and law enforcement in Tennessee. The Paycheck Protection Program loans are coming back in the new federal COVID relief bill. Expect the new round to open this month.  A slew of new workplace laws went into effect on Jan. 1, including one that benefits the lowest wage earners. For more information on all of these stories, visit our website, www.coloradosun.com. Now, a quick message from our editor. The Colorado Sun is non-partisan and completely independent.

The FAST identifies factors that may influence problem behaviors. Use it only for screening as part of a comprehensive functional analysis of the behavior. Administer the FAST to several individuals who interact with the client frequently. Then use the results to guide direct observation in several different situations to verify suspected behavioral functions and to identify other factors that may influence the problem behavior.

In this podcast, Evan Brickner and Trini Mathew, MD, MPH, discuss their latest research paper on evaluating for alcohol use disorder among patients with HIV in their primary care clinic, how other clinicians can implement this screening tool, and the impacts that screening can have on patients' well-being.

Hey yall. Happy Sunday. I hope you all are getting a great start to your week. In today's episode, I talk about maintaining mental clarity by listening to my body and having a good self-care regime. This weekend my self-care consisted of a high-intensity workout, mediation, and quality time with my tiny human. We know that we are still in the midst of a pandemic, so if you are looking for some an opportunity to exercise or create balance through yoga or meditation, check out the people/pages below. For online training, check out my favorite trainer Tika, the creator of 30 Days Hard. The 30 Days Hard community offers more than just exercise. There is also an offering of meal plans and cooking demonstrations. You can find her on Instagram @tikathetrainer. For yoga and meditation opportunities, check out @puregoldyoga and @livingfre on Instagram as well as inside the Journey to Living Fre Facebook group. Did you watch the vice-presidential debate? I won't go into a lot of detail but I'll just say I'll be glad when Black women can show up in the world as we choose. To hear some of the things that have been said about Kamala Harris since the debate is extremely frustrating and annoying frankly. Seems like Black women's actions are always being picked apart. Will it ever end? I also talked about how there are plans to remove Pap Tests as a primary screening tool for eradicating cervical cancer. That's a scary thought. The Pap Test has been an effective tool used to screen for cervical cancer over the last 50 years. It's baffling to me that is even a consideration. The rationale is that HPV tests are more sensitive and thus a more effective screening tool for cervical cancer care. While I am a believer in science and research, as someone who has screened GYN specimens for abnormal lesions myself, I can say with certainty that every woman is different and this one size fits all approach will be of detriment to women. Although Pap tests are designed specifically to detect cervical cancer, we are able to see cell changes associated with Herpes infections, hormonal changes, cancerous lesions of the endometrium, and many other things. To take away the Pap Tests means that these conditions might go undetected and untreated. Do yall know they have started doing uterus transplants? I don't know what to say about it. I know I don't plan to donate my uterus but check out this article and tell me what you think...Uterus Transplants. That's all for this week. Don't forget to follow the show page on Instagram @supercytogirl, share the show with a friend, and leave a 5-star review. Until next time... Yours Truly, Irise

Description #011 - In recent weeks, we have all seen how quickly our work and our world can change. As healthcare workers, we all do our part. Some on the front lines, and some at a safe distance. But each one of us has an important role to play in this COVID19 pandemic. And what our clients need now, may be different than what they needed a few short weeks ago. Seeing people think outside the box, come up with solutions, and share it with others so that more people are helped, makes my heart really happy. Last week, I shared with you some ideas on how to work remotely while still adding value to your organization. In this episode, I would like to share with you how some nurses are doing just that. Rhea Arias and Ariel Huhn RN, MPH created an assessment tool to screen the vulnerable elderly in their ACO. They were gracious enough to share with us. This tool can be modified and used by other organizations to meet the needs of their population. Learn more about this COVID-19 Screening Tool in this episode. Show notes Everybody has a role to play even if you are not working on the front line. I hope this episode inspires you to think outside the box. It doesn't mean that if you're not working on the front line, you cannot play an important role. To those that are on the front line, I would like to express my deepest appreciation for what you're doing, for facing the challenges head-on.

Dr. Fareeha Malik, DDS, and mom of 2 joins Zaiba & Uzma to describe how she felt after delivering her children, how it impacted her relationships, and how she found healing. Bringing home a baby doesn’t always mean mom’s eternal happiness. Not all mothers feel “the way they should” after the baby is born, and may feel lost if they don’t know where to turn for resources. This endangers not only mom but also a newborn.Our audio sounds different on this episode, so bear with us. We were also so into the conversation, we didn't get to review the valuable resources we have for our community.

Facebook has debuted a new healthcare tool that provides users with personalized health resources and checkup reminders. The tool, called Preventive Health, is a healthcare feature currently only available in the United States. It accesses users' age and gender, then gives them information on what illnesses they are vulnerable to, as well as reminders for possible screenings or checkups. The new tool was created with preventive health in mind, particularly in avoiding the two leading causes of death in the United States—cancer and cardiovascular illnesses. To access the feature, users simply have to search Preventive Health on Facebook or click on an advertisement in their newsfeed. After doing so, users will be presented with various preventive health measures, such as getting a cholesterol test, relative to their age and gender. The tool also lists medical procedures and explains how frequently a person should undergo each. Users can tick off the procedures they have completed and schedule reminders for future tests or checkups using the tool. Preventive Health also features a map of health centers in the United States to let users know where they can access healthcare. Because of data sensitivity associated with the new tool, Dr. Freddy Abnousi [ab-NOO-see], Facebook's head of healthcare research, ensured that Facebook will not share any personal information to third-party organizations or insurance companies. Similarly, users' Preventive Health data will not be accessible to other Facebook users. Eventually, Facebook plans to expand Preventive Health outside the United States. For now, however, the tech company would like to see whether Facebook users will actually engage with the tool.

Since it's cancer prevention month, let's talk about this awful disease. Usually, people go to see a doctor because they're experiencing some symptom that they want to treat. According to Tammy Kohlschmidt, a certified clinical thermographer, that's entirely the wrong approach. As she explained to WellBe, thermography offers a way to catch dysfunction before it becomes symptomatic, helping people to prevent rather than treat disease — which is key to maintaining your health. Thermography, also known as digital infrared thermal imaging, is a screening method that uses camera images to measure your body temperature and blood flow, looking for patterns and variations that can screen for dysfunction and precursors to disease.  Because of the way the screening works, it's also able to detect abnormalities and dysfunction before other tests. Kohlschmidt explains that thermography can pick up cancer cells when they're about the size of a grain of rice, or around two years old, whereas a mammogram won't pick it up for eight years. Listen to the episode to learn more about how thermography helps to detect what is really going in your body, how it differs from mammograms and ultrasounds, where to find a clinical thermographer, what to expect at your appointment and why this test isn't standard in conventional medicine.  Watch the video version of this interview with Tammy Kohlschmidt here https://getwellbe.com/changemakers/thermography Oh and be sure to subscribe to become a WellBe Insider when you're there.

If you or someone you knew was suffering from a complicated pregnancy - would you enrol in a rigorous medical imaging study? Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the potential to detect pregnancy problems, and although it is a very sensitive imaging technique it does not come without some drawbacks. Tune into the pilot episode of Research Radio to hear how a 2nd year Master's student, Antara, overcomes her ethical reservations about imaging at-risk pregnant women and soon realizes the power of medical imaging in helping to diagnose patients. She sits down with Dr. Kartik Jhaveri (MD, FRCPC ,Professor, Director) who made it clear that imaging has a huge role to play in improving patient outcome, and that the outcome of patients should be the focus of innovation in radiology and medical biophysics. It is important to always be critical of the implications of a research study, and that is what we hope to do at Research Radio!

SGEM 237: Screening Tool for Child Sex Trafficking by SAEM

We speak with Dr Kairi Kolves, who is the Principal Research Fellow and Course Convener at AISRAP. The Australian Institute for Suicide Research and Prevention (AISRAP) has been a research centre at Griffith University since 1996, delivering high quality research, clinical services, training & education in suicide prevention.. Since 2008 AISRAP has been a National Centre of Excellence in suicide prevention informing the Department of Health on policy, prevention and best-practice initiatives nationally. AISRAP is the only World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Research and Training in Suicide Prevention in Australia, and one of only five centres in the world of this kind. AISRAP made significant contributions to the 2014 WHO Preventing suicide: A global imperative report and has collaborated with numerous stakeholders in suicide research and prevention both nationally and internationally over the past 2 decades. Its researchers are highly respected international experts, with over 200 peer-reviewed journal publications and presentations in the last five years. AISRAP manages the Queensland Suicide Register (QSR), one of the most comprehensive databases of its kind in in the Asia Pacific region. Since 1990 the QSR has informed critical suicide prevention policy and action plans of the Queensland State Government, funded by Queensland Health and more recently (since 2014) the Queensland Mental Health Commission. The QSR has recently been a pivotal resource of evidence based information assisting Primary Health Networks in planning and evaluating practical needs-based regional suicide prevention initiatives. In response to the absence of accurate and standardised recording systems for non-fatal suicidal behaviour, AISRAP designed and operates a unique database for monitoring of suicide attempts and self-harm presentations at hospital emergency departments (World Health Organization Suicide Trends in At-Risk Territories (START) Study). AISRAP has produced 16 volumes of Suicide Research: Selected Readings, a biannual critical literature review series that identifies and outlines recent advances and developments in international research in suicide prevention, collating all newly released publications that explicitly refer to fatal and/or non-fatal suicidal behaviours and related issues. AISRAP’s highly innovative Screening Tool for Assessing Risk of Suicide training in suicide risk assessment has recently been translated into 5 languages. The Institute’s Life Promotion Clinic is the only outpatient treatment/research clinic providing an alternative to hospitalised-based care for those with a history of suicidal behaviour. #ManyVoicesOneGoal #suicideprevention

Dr David Ahlquist - Mayo Clinic, Rochester, USA Dr David Ahlquist talks to ecancertv at AACR 2015 about the use of DNA stool tests as a non-intrusive screening tool, which provides a screening alternative for patients with an average risk for colon cancer. Unlike conventional tests, the stool test kit does not require dietary restrictions or bowel preparations and is simply designed so that patients can collect their own samples at home and mail them for laboratory analysis.

Blue light cystoscopy (Cysview) reveals more than traditional white light cystoscopy since the bladder cancer cells that become visible in blue light may be invisible with traditional white light. A cystoscopy is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the bladder. Ashish Kamat, M.D., associate professor in Urology at MD Anderson Cancer Center, explains why blue light cystoscopy is so effective in detecting bladder cancer and discusses this disease in general.

Kontext: Dysphagien stellen bei Parkinson-Syndromen einen negativen prognostischen Prädiktor für die verbleibende Überlebenszeit dar. Sie führen zu Aspirationen, Aspirationspneumonien, Malnutrition und Dehydration und schränken die Lebensqualität der Patienten massiv ein. Die aktuelle Studienlage weist darauf hin, dass die durchschnittliche Überlebensdauer von Parkinson-Patienten mit manifester Dysphagie bei ein bis zwei Jahren liegt und (Aspirations-) Pneumonien eine der häufigsten Todesursachen sind. Problem: Dysphagien werden in der Regel zu spät erkannt und eine entsprechende Therapie beginnt zumeist erst bei massiveren Schluckstörungen mit Gesundheitsschäden. Standardmäßige Schluckdiagnostiken zur Profilaxe werden bislang nicht durchgeführt und ausreichend valide Screening-Tools, wie etwa Patientenfragebögen zur Evaluierung von Schluckstörungen bei Parkinson-Patienten, fehlen in der klinischen Praxis. Beitrag: Diese Dissertation stellt den 26-Item-umfassenden Münchener Dysphagie Test – Parkinson’s Disease (MDT-PD) vor, ein Screeningverfahren in Form eines klinischen Patientenfragebogens zur Früherkennung von Schluckstörungen und ihrer Graduierung bei idiopathischem Parkinson-Syndrom (IPS) einschließlich einer bedienerfreundlichen Web- Applikation zur schnellen und örtlich flexiblen Auswertung (Betriebssystemunterstützung: Windows, Mac OS, iOS, Android u.a.). Daneben werden zwei Befundungsbögen zur standardisierten klinischen und videoendoskopischen Schluck-Diagnostik vorgestellt, welche klar definierte, ordinale Symptom-Rating-Skalen beinhalten. Methoden/ Validation: Der innerhalb drei Phasen und einem Pre-Test entwickelte Fragebogen wurde in einer Studie mit 82 IPS-Probanden unter Ausschluss von vordiagnostizierter Schluckstörung, Demenz oder chronischer Depression evaluiert (m=46, w=36; Ø Alter ± Standardabweichung: 70,9 J. ± 8,7 J.; Ø Erkrankungsdauer nach Erstdiagnose: 11,0 J. ± 6,3 J.; Ø H&Y: 3,3; Ø UPDRS III: 29,5 P. ± 13,3 P.). Als Vergleichsparameter kamen die neu konzipierten Symptomschweregradskalen innerhalb der standardisierten klinischen sowie videoendoskopischen Dysphagie-Diagnostik zum Einsatz. Die klinische Untersuchung bestand aus einem Ruhe-, Reflex- und Funktionsprüfungs-Part sowie einer Schluckproben-Testung; bei der instrumentellen Diagnostik wurde sich an das FEES®-Protokoll angelehnt, welches parkinsonspezifisch weiterentwickelt wurde: Neben der Erhebung funktioneller Parameter wurde sowohl die Gefahr für/ der Grad der laryngealen Penetration/ Aspiration innerhalb der Schlucktestung abgebildet als auch beginnende Dysphagie-Symptomatiken wie posteriores Bolus-Leaking und pharyngeale Residuen sowie Speichel-Akkumulation berücksichtigt und graduell unterschieden. In der klinischen sowie videoendoskopischen Diagnostik (Durchführungen im On-drug-state) wurde die Nahrungsaufnahme mit folgenden Konsistenzen, quantitativ deckungsgleich und in alltagsrelevanter Menge, geprüft: dünnflüssig (90 ml Wasser, blau eingefärbt), fest (1⁄2 Scheibe Mischbrot mit Rinde und Aufstrich, ≈8x7x1cm) und trocken/ bröselig (1 Keks, Ø 5cm) sowie die Einnahme von zwei Tabletten (teilbare ProLiveVita-Fit-Blocktablette, ≈19x8x7 mm; Placebo-Hepa-Lichtenstein, Ø 8mm). Ergebnisse: Der MDT-PD erfüllt die Testgütekriterien der klassischen Testtheorie. Durch die Receiver-Operating-Characteristics (ROC)-Analyse wurden zwei Cut-Offs für die Gruppengrößen nicht auffällig vs. auffällig (3,65) und nicht auffällig vs. aspirationsgefährdet (4,79) ermittelt. Die Diskriminierungsgüte des (nach den Regressions-Koeffizienten) gewichteten MDT-PD-Summenscores ergibt für die Dysphagie-Einteilungen a) unauffällig vs. auffällig eine Sensitivität (Sens) von 82% sowie eine Spezifität (Spez) von 71% (Kreuzvalidierung: Sens 82%/ Spez 62%/ Cut-off 3,62) und b) nicht auffällig vs. aspirationsgefährdet eine Sensitivität von 90% sowie eine Spezifität von 86% (Kreuzvalidierung: Sens 90%/ Spez 81%/ Cut-off 4,75). Für den Zusammenhang zwischen dem Kriterien-Summenscore und dem gewichteten MDT-PD-Summenscore konnte in den Studiendaten eine starke Korrelation mit einem Spearman-Rho Korrelationskoeffizienten von +0,699 (p
