Hi, I'm JoAnn Higgins, I'm the Director of Utilization Review for the Boys Town Behavioral
Programs.
I started working for Boys Town in July of 1998.
I have oversight to the utilization review department.
We work with most insurance companies as well as other funding sources to fund a child's
stay here.
We collaborate very closely with the medical director as well as the clinical staff that's
treating the child regarding continued stay authorization with the insurer as well as
communicate very closely with their families.
So the key to helping these families is to help them understand how the insurance works,
medical necessity to remain in the program and get the treatment that a child needs.
We work with the insurance company for them.
We appeal cases that are denied on their behalf.
Insurance can be quite extensive with all of the rules and policies and so our team
is there to help the families.
We process it for them and we guide them through the steps that we're taking.
Working to get the authorization and clearly display what the child's needs are, can
be challenging.
That for me, knowing that I'm able to assist in helping a child get the treatment that
they need is really important to me and always has been.
So I think the most unique aspect about the residential treatment program is the fact
that we have the ability to serve children of different age groups.
Younger children to adolescent teenagers and the program adjusts to meet their needs at
the level that they're at.
When a parent calls frantic, knowing they need help to get their child into treatment,
I just want them to know that we're here for them.
That's what we do, finagling through the insurance.
We are going to help them through that step by step.

Kim Sublet Miller - Boys Town Residential Treatment Center - Duration: 2:02.
Hi, my name is Kim Sublet Miller.
I'm the assistant director here at the Residential Treatment Center and I've been at Boys Town
since 2000.
I oversee out team of clinical therapists who are the direct care managers of every
child that comes into our program.
I also work closely with our team of nurses, our educational staff, our direct care staff
to ensure that the program is running smoothly and all the needs of our kids are met.
I chose this career because I have a huge passion for helping kids specifically.
I feel like their energy for life and their innocence is something that we need to invest
in and really make sure that the generations to come are successful.
The key to helping most of our kids that come into our program is really that building trust
and making them feel comfortable and safe in an environment where we can work very hard
therapeutically to get at the reasons why they're here.
I think it's exciting to help kids because typically the kids that come into our program
are usually more on the either overly depressed, anxious, angry and being able to see that
transformation over time and just to see them excited about life again, to be happy, to
feel proud of their success and knowing that they have a lot of life left to live is something
I get super excited about.
There's hope.
There's always hope and so it is just one of those things that feeds into my passion
for wanting to help them get better.
Being able to leave here successfully looks different for every child that walks into
our door but it's also important that there's a good plan in place and that's part of
our role here at the Residential Treatment Center is to make sure that we worked through
the barriers and the issues of why they came here, but also then being able to set up services
with that family to make sure that that success continues beyond our program.
We are a program that is built on relationships.
We are very family friendly.
We will do everything that we can to make them feel just as comfortable about their
child being in our program as we will with their child being here.

Why Minoxidil Doesn't Cause Hair Loss, but Additional Treatment is Needed for Aggressive Hair Loss - Duration: 10:27.
Thank you for your question.
You submitted your question without a photo. And you're describing in your question that
you've been on minoxidil for about 4 weeks and that it has been your observation that
your hair loss is actually getting worse to the point that you are counting over a hundred
hairs per day. And it seems that you're asking whether or not this is caused by the
minoxidil. Well, I can certainly share with you how I discuss the use of minoxidil in
my practice for patients who like yourself are dealing with hair loss.
A little bit of background, I'm a Board-certified cosmetic surgeon and Fellowship-trained oculofacial
plastic and reconstructive surgeon. I have been in practice in Manhattan and Long Island
for over 20 years. I am also the founder of TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration Centers, a
system we developed which was derived from the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and
Acellular matrix during hair transplant as an additional tool in the treatment armamentarium
for men and women with genetic pattern hair loss. And we treat patients from all around
the world and we've been doing this since 2011.
So I spend a lot of time putting the treatment strategies into context for people who are
suffering from male pattern hair loss. And it's important to understand that the use
of minoxidil may have a certain value based on its pharmaceutical effect but its relative
success for patients does vary. And it's also important to recognize that the drug
which was originally a drug for hypertension, for high blood pressure, had this side-effect
of hair growth. However, there is variable expression of male pattern hair loss. So you
can understand that there are people who start losing hair early and they lose hair very
fast. There are people who start losing hair closer to their late 30s and lose hair very
slowly and there is a wide variation in between. So it is common that patients will do something
called a correlation-causation error which means that they will use a drug like minoxidil
and because their hair loss is still progressing, they feel that the drug caused the hair loss.
It's kind of a temporal thing but not necessarily a cause and effect.
It's also important to understand that minoxidil is not the only treatment for hair loss. And
that if you are progressing, you may want to also look at other strategies and this
is the discussion that I'll have with my patients. Essentially, just to go over the
concept of Hair Regeneration, when we were doing hair transplants and we wanted to help
our patients for a better wound healing in the donor area as well as better graft survival,
the material that we used, Acellular matrix and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) appeared to
also stimulate hair growth and so thinning hairs became thicker that were not transplanted.
And from that, we derived a system to help patients maximize hair growth.
And what we do is essentially an injection treatment and then we watch our patients.
And routinely, we'll also do a booster injection around 15-18 months or 15-24 months depending
on a profile that I developed from all these years of experience in treating so many patients
from around the world. And basically the profile that I am referring to is based on the gender,
the age of the patient, the age of onset of hair loss, the rate of progression of hair
loss, the degree of progression as well as other variables which is the use of different
drugs, the certain hormonal issues and other medical conditions.
That being said, it is not unusual for me to hear the story that someone tried minoxidil,
they got frustrated with it and then they abandoned it or they tried minoxidil and they
thought that it made their hair loss worse.
So when I see a patient and they learn about Hair Regeneration and they want to come for
a treatment, I also discuss with them other options that includes transplant, that also
includes for men the use of a DHT blocker like finasteride. It's very important to
understand that regardless of the strategy where no one is curing hair loss, what we
are doing is we're working with your genetics to maximize the longevity and coverage of
your scalp.
So a lot of my patients who are describing a scenario like yours where they're losing
a lot of hair, if it's a male pattern hair loss patient, then I'll say to them well
even with Hair Regeneration where we can really, independent of other drugs, make a big impact,
I have attributed a certain level of DHT sensitivity based on a person's profile. So for a lot
of our patients, I still have a discussion about DHT and I'll put them also on a drug
like finasteride.
Now of course, there's a lot of fear about finasteride and the medical community still
has a general consensus that the drug is effective and is relatively safe enough to continue
prescribing it with consistency. That being said, the key to hair loss is not just DHT.
We've had many patients who were on finasteride and they would still progress but I feel that
the DHT blocker did have a value in sustaining the hair follicle longer than otherwise would
have been without the pharmaceutical intervention. In those patients, I'll do a Hair Regeneration
treatment and their hairs will get thicker. So DHT blocking will prolong the lifespan
of the hair. The stimulation of Hair Regeneration results in better coverage. So ultimately,
there's kind of a synergy opportunity there.
Now if someone has been on minoxidil for an extended period of time then I usually let
them stay on it because that's a strategy to control a variable. However, minoxidil
has a certain pharmaceutical effect that is dependent on the drug being continuously applied
and the relative responsiveness. And I would argue that it is really dependent on relative
DHT sensitivity and the rate of progression. So if someone has, let's say, someone in
their late 30s or really 40s is starting to lose hair to the point that they're noticing
something, that somebody who has a later onset probably has a slower progression, someone
like that generally seems to do well with minoxidil. In contrast, a younger person with
an early onset and rapid rate of progression generally doesn't seem to find value in the
use of minoxidil.
So I would say that it is important for you to explore all the options you have to help
you with your hair loss that includes the drug called finasteride, the technology of
PRP and Acellular matrix which we call in our practice TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration
as well as of course, what everyone knows about hair transplant and see what strategy
makes the most sense for you. And as far as the minoxidil is concerned, it is again, without
the benefit of more information and detail, I can't say if the minoxidil is not going
to have any value in your long-term treatment strategy but I think you have to look at other
options in order to get the most optimal strategic benefit for your hair loss situation.
So I hope that was helpful, I wish you the best of luck and thank you for your question.

How Hair Transplants can Damage Existing Hair Follicles, and a Transplant Alternative Treatment - Duration: 9:19.
Thank you for your question.
You submitted your question without a photo and you're asking, is it possible to kill
a dormant follicle by using a 0.7 millimeter punch when placing a graft. Well, I think
it's fair to conclude that you're considering hair transplant surgery and you are concerned
about the viability of dormant follicles when you have your surgery.
Well, I can certainly help you understand some of the science and the rationale behind
a treatment strategy that I recommend for patients every day in my practice. A little
bit of background, I'm a Board-certified cosmetic surgeon and Fellowship-trained oculofacial
plastic and reconstructive surgeon. I have been in practice in Manhattan and Long Island
for over 20 years. I am also the founder of TrichoStem™ Hair Regeneration Centers, a
system that we developed using extracellular matrix and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to help
hair transplant heal better going back now about 7 or 8 years. And we've developed
a treatment that non-surgically helps people with hair loss for men and women suffering
mostly from genetic pattern hair loss. So certainly, I am no stranger to the challenges
of dealing with the consequences of hair transplant surgery. This as I said was the rationale
behind our Hair Regeneration treatment.
When you place a hair graft, you are dealing with a scalp depending on the advanced nature
of the hair loss with a certain percentage of existing hair that you can see and a certain
percentage of hair that you cannot see. When you think about the science of hair loss that
is androgenetic alopecia, there is a continuous decrease in the growth cycle or the active
growing phase while there is a prolongation of the resting phase known as the telogen
phase. What that means is that a certain significant percentage of hairs are actively not growing
at any given time.
Now what you are certainly aware of clearly by the way you asked your question is that
there is also a certain percentage of collateral damage during a hair transplant depending
on the relevant density of existing hairs. It was always a rationalization by every hair
transplant surgeon that when you are placing grafts that hairs that were thinned were going
to go away anyway.
Well, when we were doing hair transplant and using extracellular matrix and platelet-rich
plasma (PRP), we found that thinning hair actually became thicker. From this, we were
able to develop painstakingly over several years a process we call TrichoStem™ Hair
Regeneration. What I learned over time is a way to reactivate hair that was not growing,
thicken thinning hair and prolong the lifespan of existing hair.
With further time of treating a wide range of patients from young males with aggressive
pattern of hair loss to older males with minimal to moderate progressive hair loss to women
of all ages of the same age range that we developed a classification system and that
classification system factors in gender, age, age of onset of hair loss, rate of progression,
degree of progression and other variables that we have customized so that the dosing
and the strategy is optimized. But when I came down to comparing in certain patients
the question of transplant versus injection, it was clear that a significant percentage
of patients actually had results with our injection exceeded not just one but two hair
transplants. The reason for this was that the reactivation of dormant hairs, hairs that
you are concerned about being potentially traumatized or damaged permanently by a placement
of a stab incision in the scalp or the placement of a hair during a transplant.
So when I look at our results, I look at thickening of the thinning hair then I realize that it
was an optimal strategy even for patients who are still going to get a hair transplant.
So it wasn't necessarily a question of either/or but what I basically explain to my patients
every day is that every hair that is present, thick and is providing scalp coverage is a
hair that doesn't have to be transplanted which means that in my practice, when patients
come to me let's with frontal progressive hair loss and they still want to get a frontal
hairline developed, well part of the strategy is to first do Hair Regeneration treatment
and also in some patients, the addition of a DHT blocker depending on our algorithm in
which some patients or some males of higher DHT sensitivity or would still benefit from
a DHT blocker more than others, then we can see after the course of a year to 18 months
or so how much scalp coverage there is with this strategy. Like I said, every hair that
becomes thick and covers the scalp is a hair that doesn't have to be transplanted. And
it's a reminder that there is a limit of the number of grafts that can be harvested
and placed. So it actually works very well in synergy.
And it's important to understand that hair transplant is one treatment strategy but pharmaceutical
and stem cell or Hair Regeneration technology are all part of an overall treatment strategy.
There is no cure for hair loss but there is a way to optimize coverage maximally for every
individual based on the variables that we look at.
So to answer again the question of whether or not you can get a dormant follicle traumatized
by a punch, the answer is yes. Yes, you have to go straight through the skin and if there
is a hair follicle underneath that and the stab goes through, you are either going to
damage the hair follicle directly or just vascular compromise. The trauma of surgery
and inflammation can also comprise the survivability of the grafts as well as existing hairs.
We've had patients who have come who had mega session surgery where 90% of the grafts
did not survive. So we have people coming from around the world who have had transplants
and have been very challenged in getting the outcome they were hoping for. It doesn't mean
you shouldn't do a transplant but I would suggest just thinking about what is the potential
to maximize coverage before you do the transplant.
So I hope that was helpful, I wish you the best of luck and thank you for your question.

Nephrotic Syndrome, Proteinuria (Protein in Urine) Treatment in Ayurveda - True Feedback - Duration: 7:30.
Greetings, sir! You're here at Dr. Vikram's clinic in regard to your son's treatment with which you're quite happy.
Tell us a little about when and what was the problem and when did you start his treatment?
This started back in September, 2010. He had swelling on his upper eyelids after which I took him to an eye specialist.
He was a really nice doctor.
I belong to Pinjore and there is a place called Kalka near it and Himachal Eye hospital is situated there.
The doctor I took him to asked me to take him to PGI and show him in APC (Advanced Pediatric Center).
You first thought he had some problem related to the eyes?
Yes, I thought so.
I took him to PGI after that and they performed some tests on him and told me that he had Nephrotic syndrome.
I asked them about its treatment.
But, they said it no cure and started giving me statistics that some kids get better after this age group and some in that.
It has no treatment and no certain time duration.
How old was Jasmeet back then?
Jasmeet was 2 years old when he was first diagnosed with this problem.
After knowing the statistics I got very upset thinking about the child's condition.
They also said that they would put him on steroids (Prednisolone).
We started giving him KidPred syrup which made him really irritable.
Irritable behavior was the side effects along with weak bones.
He was given calcium supplements, anti-hypertensive drugs since his BP shot up.
He was suffering from such discomforts.
I got to know about Mr. Ram Kumar who gives homeopathic medicine and has a hospital called BRSS in Ambala city.
I kept him on that treatment for a year and a half but it had no effect may be because it was taken along with steroids.
In PGI, another gentleman's son was undergoing treatment for the same disorder. He was from Nangal, Punjab.
Seeing me upset, he told me to go to Sector 23, Chandigarh
and see Dr. Vikram Chauhan since his son was getting better maybe my son could also get some relief.
I came to Dr. Vikram Chauhan in 2012 and told him that he had really low immunity.
Firstly, Dr. Vikram gave him some immune boosters which improved his immunity
and along with that he prescribed Phyllanthus niruri and Curcumin capsules.
I inculcated full faith in Dr. Vikram and followed all the restrictions for about 2 years.
Ok. Dr. Vikram just prescribed him Phyllanthus niruri and Curcumin and you gave him these 2 medicines for 2 years?
Yes. My child had come to see Dr. Vikram Chauhan just once in the beginning and after that I continuously came and took his medicines.
You took the medicines and kept giving him regularly.
Yes. I gave him these medicines for 2 to 2.5 years.
He was fine in 2 years.
There was improvement in his condition within 6 months.
Gradually his health improved and the protein that passed out with his urine also stopped
and after that we didn't find the need of going to PGI again.
My child is fine and 9 years old now.
Jasmeet, you took treatment at Planet Ayurveda from Dr. Vikram Chauhan.
How are you feeling?
Are you completely fine?
Do you remember you were sick and took medicine and recovered?
No, I don't remember.
You were too young. What grade are you in now?
4th.
Ok!
He just remembers taking a pill similar to that of turmeric.
It is better forgotten.
It's not a good memory for a kid.
Yes. Dr. Vikram was just like God to us because he saved us from so much trouble.
Mr. Saini, would you like to give a message for our viewers?
I would like to say that have complete faith on Ayurveda
and take continuous treatment rather than leaving the treatment half way.
If someone wants my personal views they can call me personally.
(Laughs)
there are plenty of viewers, it'll be difficult for you to speak to each and every one.
Just like someone guided me like God.
That's how we form links, maybe I can guide someone.
Thank you very much sir.
Thank you.

Dennis Vollmer - Boys Town Residential Treatment Center - Duration: 2:11.
Hi.
My name is Dennis Vollmer.
I'm the director of the Boys Town Residential Treatment Center.
I have a master's degree in human development and a master's degree in business administration.
I've been at Boys Town since 1986.
As the director, I work closely with the program staff and I work very closely with the clinical
staff including the clinical therapists and in that just ensuring that the kids are receiving
the treatment for their individual needs.
Many of these kids come from backgrounds that are very concerning, very challenging, very
difficult and here at Boys Town with the consistent approach we have and the relationship skills
that we are able to teach them, kids can change.
They can change for the better.
They can have successful lives.
I think the key to helping kids is patience, relationships.
You know we have a very very tried and true model of care that has been researched based
and that is all very very important, however relationships, caring, giving and patience
is really a key factor in working with our model.
They've learned a lot of inappropriate skills, a lot of inappropriate methods of handling
behavior and here at Boys Town, we can teach them alternative social skills that can help
them be more successful.
I think the goal for all children here would be to become successful individuals in life.
Certainly they have been presented with issues problems and circumstances that are challenging
and by coming to Boys Town hopefully we can teach them pro-social productive skills that
can help them throughout their entire lifetime.
I love my job.
It is very fulfilling.
My wife also works at Boys Town.
We've talked often about how lucky we are to have a job that's exciting, that's
ever changing, that's not boring.
You know, I enjoy it.
I love it.
I love working with the kids and the young people that decide to come here to work with
kids.

Élaine Polflit: Hepatitis C treatment for people who use drugs - Duration: 7:52.
I work for the CIUSS Centre-Sud-de-l'île-de-Montréal. I am the manager in charge of
supervised injection sites. We have four in Montreal and my job is
primarily to manage the nursing team that provides
services in the SIS, in partnership with groups
that host them. We are working on deploying
services across the island of Montreal.
When it comes to access to hepatitis C treatment, one of the big issues
is that for a long time and during the interferon era,
treatment was perceived as heavy,
and complicated, and each person being treated required an entire support team.
So it was offered in specialized centres or in
hospitals; many vulnerable and
marginalized people do not feel comfortable in these
surroundings; they do not feel welcome.
They've had difficult experiences there
and it wasn't very nice.
These people were already using community services
or services that catered to them
but were unable to receive treatment for hepatitis C.
So they would end up with a treatment plan that
included several sites and teams with different ways of
operating, different rules and different protocols.
People often gave up because it was too complicated.
They had to remember different appointments at different places and
got discouraged before their first
visit.
People want a single access point.
It helps them because they get to know their team,
especially if trusting relationships were established a long time ago.
It takes time to build trust, so it's wise to capitalize on it instead of
having to start from scratch with another team,
having to put yourself out there to gain access to treatment.
Going through the whole intake process did not appeal to them much.
New molecules show us that
hepatitis C treatment is not just medical,
it's also a psychosocial process
undertaken by someone to become stable from a biological and psychological standpoint.
We have the technical expertise of doctors and
nurses when it comes to treatment. We also have stakeholders and
peers available, and that really helps people meet
all of their needs. we are able to offer
all services, even minimally,
because we are not experts in everything, but if someone asks,
we can help, and to me, this is key to a
low-threshold approach to risk reduction.
The Relais méthadone clinic, that is part of the CRAN program at CIUSS
centre sud, is a low-threshold clinic that caters to
people with opioid addictions who need
a more flexible and tailored access to services.
When we were considering offering hepatitis C treatment at
the clinic, it really was about
making treatment more accessible to people who don't use
specialized clinics and don't want to go to the hospital but
who express the need and the desire to be treated for hepatitis C.
They are able to adhere to their treatment if they get it
in a context relevant to them. At Relais, it was a bit
complicated since we already had expertise in
treating opioid addictions, as a methadone and buprenorphine clinic.
We already had our hands full with people who needed treatment
and we could not keep up. When new molecules for
hepatitis C treatment became available, of course, we saw
the opportunity to easily integrate this with our services to
more vulnerable populations. This would also allow us
to treat people who would not meet access criteria in
other clinics: people who are still actively using,
who can have frequent relapses, who are
homeless but still come to their
appointment at the clinic, one or twice per week,
who go get their methadone or buprenorphine daily at the drugstore.
We believed they would be able to go get
one more drug as part of a
risk-reduction approach, and that it
made sense to add one more service to a program that was already working for them.
Of course, a lot of vulnerable people were
pushed aside because of costs.
The risk of re-infection was the main concern
and people were debating if it was worth spending 90 K
on someone likely to get reinfected. It is extremely hurtful
to be told that you are not worthy of
being treated. It's very stigmatizing
to be treated like you don't matter because we don't believe
that you can stay healthy.
But now we realize that when we trust people, they want to feel well,
they want to be healthy, they don't want to die or to be sick.
To date, our experience with more vulnerable people
that would not have been served well elsewhere
is very conclusive. We realize that are only positive effects:
for them and for us.
To me, a low threshold is a healthcare structure,
that allows us to offer
risk-reduction services to a more vulnerable population
by taking down all barriers that could limit their access to
services, to people who need it, and it helps them
because there are so many little steps to go through in order to get a service,
like trusting that they will be welcome,
trusting that people will work with them,
ask them what they need and get it for them.
People often take a long way to communicate their needs.
They will say: I have enough of being tired, of using and of being on the street,
but they won't say specifically what they want. In more institutional environments,
they won't get their answer. But in a low-threshold context,
we say: ok, let's work together.
You don't need to tell us clearly what you need, we welcome you
no matter what you want and where you are at. Your are in the driver's seat.
We are in the backseat to support you, but you are setting the direction.

How to Get Rid of Diphtheria Diphtheria treatment - Duration: 2:13.
How To Get Rid Of Diphtheria.
Diphtheria is a serious infectious disease.
Diphtheria is a serious bacterial infection that usually affects the edge and throat.
Most patients become infected after inhaling the bacteria and develop thick, gray membranes
in the back of their throats that may cause difficulty breathing.
However, if the bacteria enter a wound, diphtheria may affect the skin instead.
Some individuals may become infected with the bacteria but only emild, if any, symptoms.
These individuals are called carriers because they can still spread the viru xperience s
to others.
In this video we are talking about best 4 home remedies to get rid of dull skin.
So please click the subscribe button and the bell icon for more videos.
1.
Table Salt.
Normal salt may be a good option for a sore throat.
Just drink a glass full of water with salt mixed in.
The mixture of salt and water will definitely help in reducing the effect.
It is also helpful in breathing problems that usually occur due to a lack of salt in the
body.
2.
Passion juice.
The anti-bacterial properties as well as anti inflammatory properties of the passion flower
make flower make it an admirable remedy for treating diphtheria.
One ha to a sun dried powdered passion flower in a glass of water and drink the strained
concoction twice daily.
3.
Garlic Juice.
Garlic is known to cure many fatal diseases and it has an uncanny feel of giving relief
in even the most dire situations.
As a remedy, take a spoonful of 2-4 crushed garlic cloves.
This works wonders for curing this disease.
Roll it in your mouth and gulp it.
Keep repeating this for some time.
4.
moke Tobacco.
Grab a tobacco pipe with a live coal in its bowl.
Now, place a little tar on it and smoke it in your mouth, drawing it out from the nostrils.
This method is safe and tested and can be done easily to reduce the signs of diphtheria.

Aly Marsh - Boys Town Residential Treatment Center - Duration: 1:43.
Hi.
My name is Aly Marsh.
I am currently the training coordinator for the Boys Town Residential Treatment Center
and I've been with Boys Town since 2010.
My role here at the RTC is basically program oversight, so I oversee all program staff
including the shift managers and just make sure that they're implementing our psychoeducational
model.
I chose this career because I always want to help people, but I truly believe in Boys
Towns mission and just that we can kind of change the way we care for these kids and
help them find hope and healing and help them move towards a brighter future.
My job is definitely fulfilling.
I don't think I would still be here if it wasn't fulfilling.
It presents a lot of difficulties but you know we get to see kids in kind of these breakthrough
moments and helping them see the change is very rewarding.
One of the big things that I see for kids is that they sometimes don't want help and
so when you know when they come into our program I hope that one thing that they can at least
learn is that its ok to accept help from others.
I think if we can show them forgiveness and its ok to make mistakes then they can learn
to forgive themselves and others and move towards a brighter path and future as well.
My message to parents out there would be that change is possible and there's the phrase
that you can't teach an old dog new tricks and I don't believe that.
I think at Boys Town I've learned and believe truly believe that anything is possible.

Rachel Brabec - Boys Town National Residential Treatment Center - Duration: 1:36.
Hi I'm Rachel Brabec, Director of Behavioral Health Access and I've been with Boys Town
since 2008.
As the director of access, I work with parents to discuss their child's individual needs
and if those needs can be met within our program.
I also help parents collect clinical information that is submitted to our medical director
to review, to make sure our program can meet the child's needs.
If we are working towards admission, I'll help discuss the admission process and also
preliminary funding options and insurance plans.
The key in my role in working with the kids and the families is understanding that they
are coming to us from a very difficult place and they need somebody to listen and help
them navigate how to find a place that they can heal.
The most important thing that I tell parents is that Boys Town is a safe place for their
children.
Whatever referral behaviors or whatever things that are going on that their child is struggling
with, we can handle here and we can keep their child safe.
Some of the best moments within my position is listening to parents that have finally
found hope, that they understand that their child won't necessarily have the issuers
that they have been displaying forever and that those things can be changed and their
kid can come home and be successful.
The most unique thing about Boys Town is its longevity.
We've been here forever and we are good at what we do and we understand the needs
of families and children, and we haven't had to change our model of care.
It has worked for a very long time and it works well.

Sean Roberts - Boys Town Residential Treatment Center - Duration: 1:43.
My name is Sean Roberts.
I'm a Patient Advocate Coordinator.
I've been at Boys Town Residential Treatment Center since 2012.
I assist with the admission process, helping families and treatment teams, obtain funding
for kids to admit to our program and then assist that utilization process with funding
throughout the kid's stay, up until the point of discharge.
I think the best part of my job is the opportunities that I get to work with the youth and the
families and to be able to provide them with the services that they need coming into the
program as well as just hear and see the success stories of kids when they're able to successfully
complete the program.
Being able to see the youth succeed, putting them in a supportive environment where they're
able to build relationships and build skills is a huge piece and just seeing their successes
is the best piece of it.
My job is very fulfilling because I feel like we're able to help assist families when
they are in a state of crisis and provide them with a supportive environment for them
to build on skills and to know that they're able to utilize those skills in the future
for success.
Being able to be that support and being empathetic and available to the families to help assist
them through that process is a huge piece because it's an unknown for a lot of families
and so to be able to just be that listening ear and help guide them throughout the process
is very effective.
I would say the most unique thing about Boys Town is the people and the ability to use
the Boys Town model of care and just knowing how successful it is and you accompany that
with the great staff that we have here just makes the whole process very effective for
everyone involved.

you're the beta for the nervous system connects the nerves from your brain and
a spinal cord or the central nervous system to the rest of your body and this
includes your arms hands feet legs internal organs mount and face unit and
the job of these nerves is to deliver the signals about the physical sensation
back to your brain now the peripheral neuropathy is a
disorder that occurs when these nerves malfunction because they are damaged of
they are destroyed you know and this disruption nerves normal functioning and
that this might send the signals of the pain when there's nothing causing pain
you know or they might not send a pain signal even if something is harming you
you know so this can be due to like injury it may be due to an inherited
disorder or maybe like systemic illness or maybe due to infection you and the
disorder is like uncomfortable but treatments can be very helpful and the
most important thing to determine is whether the peripheral neuropathy is the
result of a serious underlying the next thing is what are the types of
peripheral neuropathy well there are more than 100 different types of the
peripheral neuropathy unit and each type has the unique symptoms and specific
treatment options you know so the peripheral neuropathies are further
classified by the type of a nerve damage in one do you know like mono neuropathy
occurs when only one nerve is damaged you know and they're pulling neural at
ease which means that more which are more common and the multiple nerves are
involved you you know the three types of the peripheral nerves are deaf detect
you know like sensory nerves motor nerves and autonomic nerves you
know yeah the sensing nerves are which
connect to your skin and the motor nerves which connect to your muscles and
the autonomic nerves which connect to your internal organs
okay so sensory motor and autonomic nerves you know so the sensory nerves
will be connected with the skin motor nerves connected to the muscles and the
autonomic nerves which are connected to the internal organs like heart or lungs
spleen and liver etc so the pay for the Apache can affect one nerve grow or
maybe all of three you know and the simple of a peripheral neuropathy may
include like a tingling in the hands or maybe tingling in the feet you know a
feeling like you are reading at white glove or socks you a numbness in the
hands or numbness in the field the buzzing of shocking sensation may be a
week or heavy feeling in the arms or in the legs you know that is - difficulty
especially in case of autonomic nerve damage you are maybe

these are the common signs and symptoms you know and these symptoms can also
indicate or the like conditions and make sure to tell your doctor about all your
symptoms in detail units so it will help your doctor to make the right diagnosis
okay this is what other causes well the people who have the family history of a
peripheral neuropathy they are more likely to develop this observer you know
and the variety of factors and underlying conditions may also cause the
condition like generalized diseases or maybe you know injury or maybe alcohol
and toxins you know infections autoimmune disorders you know when we
are talking about generalize which may be the lot of damage caused by the
diabetes is often the most common forms of neuropathy and this leads to the
numbness pain and loss of sensation in the extremities maybe in the feet when
I'm in the hands human and the risks often everything freezes like if you're
overweight if you have a high blood pressure or a is over 40 you know have
the diabetes you and other correct diseases may cause the new path these
are nerve damage which means you know like kidney disorders hypothyroidism and
diseases that cause the chronic inflammation unit and deficiencies of
vitamin b1 b6 b12 and II you know which are essential for the nor health you
know and function you injuries like accidents alcoholism smoking infections

Lupe's they can also affect a very formal system you know in many ways you
know and there are certain medications that I can cause a nerve damage and they
may include like anti convulsions you know drugs to fight bacterial infections
some blood pressure medications and my medications used to treat cancer you
know the next thing is how do doctors diagnose well first of all your doctor
will perform the physical examination and he will look at your reflexes you
know responses you know of the nerves and muscle if I you know it must be a
question about the history of the disease you know like which idiots
involved you know for how long you were having any underlying condition except
like any family history and if he suspects then he will otherwise the
further test which meaning you would like blood tests to me you then wait I
mean be six orbit we're worried levels in the blood you know twittered function
tests CT scan or MRI to see if anything pressing on the nerves you know
such as like a heavier base or maybe tumor you know and sometimes you talk to
me advise the nerve biopsy you know this is a minor surgery and that involves
removing small amount of the nerves not this shows you that can be seen under
the microscope to see if there's an inflammation of any of them abnormality
you know and and other this is electromyography you know which is you
can show the problems how your body's enough signals move right to your
muscles you know and enough conduction study is another treatment as well is
there another test you in this test your doctor will place the electrodes onto
your skin and then the person tiny most of electric
so the nerves to see if the nerves are transmitting signals properly you know
and this procedure is slightly uncomfortable while it's happening but
it's I should have hired afterwards you know so it's comparatively it's a safe
procedure otherwise you know and it helps to diagnose the new practice you
know and specifically which normal
involve you know what's diagnosed and what are the treatment options well the
treatment is based on the treating the underlying disorder underlying cost you
know and if the diabetes is the cause making certain that blood glucose is
controlled it's very important you know and if it's due to the vitamin
deficiencies then the vitamin supplements play an important role that
part of treatment you and the many treatments can bring relief and can help
you return to your normal activities you know and sometimes a combination of
treatments work better you know there's some over-the-counter medications like
Paulino well maybe non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs you know explain
and Epico formula they can help to control the pain you know and if they
don't work then your doctor may prescribe you those stronger medications
for the pain you know and these material like narcotics sometimes antiepileptic
medications and then some antidepressants you know maybe
combination and the prescription drugs for the sexual dysfunction
men made cool are also helpful and make look like where or or maybe strained
right since I you know you dr. can use several medical treatments to control
the symptoms of these conditions you know and plasmapheresis
is a blood transfusion that removes the potentially irritating antibodies from
your bloodstream and if you get a nerve block you're taught to believe in jet
and anesthetic directly into them now soon and another great option is like
transcutaneous electronic nerve stimulation you know which is known as
te NS and but it does not work for everyone but many people like it because
there's a drop free tribunal and you know during this treatment electrodes
placed on the skin they send signal a small loss of the electrode electricity
into the skin you know and the goal is to disrupt the nerves from transmitting
the pain signals to not bring you and
economic costs and spleens are also helpful if the neuropathy affects your
feet your arms your legs and your hands you and some of the like massage their
medications or yoga and acupuncture and chiropractic you know they're also
helpful to many the same points if the neuropathy is due to any underlying

Ryan Moss - Boys Town Residential Treatment Center - Duration: 2:02.
Hi.
My name is Ryan Moss.
I'm the assistant director for the Boys Town Residential Treatment Center.
I have been at Boys Town since 2004.
I initially started working with kids when I was in college as a fun way to interact
with kids and make a difference.
When I realized that I really enjoyed that I decided to make that more of a career path
and when I moved to Omaha started working here at Boys Town, furthered my education
and got my master's degree to continue that.
I work with our direct care staff, our nurses, therapists on a day to day basis to make sure
that we're following all of our procedures and our policies on a day to day basis.
I also will do admissions with the kids when they come into the program to help with therapy
as needed and also work with parents, caseworkers and consumers.
The biggest key to working with the kids in our programs is just to keep a positive attitude
and understand that they're here because they need our help.
The favorite part of my job is that I get to work with the kids.
I get to work with the staff and see how they interact with each other on a day to day basis.
Seeing them build a relationship with each other that really facilitates their growth
and their development in the program is really quite fun.
I find my job very fulfilling.
To work with a lot of different kids and families and help them out to be able to get them back
home and then move on in their lives.
It's always quite rewarding to see when kids have completed the program and they come
back and they talk to us, say how they are doing.
Kids come back and tell us I'm going to college or I have a job or I finished high
school.
It's quite rewarding to know that those kids are really doing well in their lives.
The most unique thing about Boys Town in our residential treatment centers is that we use
our psycho educational model, our therapists.
We have our nursing staff, direct care staff.
We all work together to be able to work with that individual kid and what is going to be
best for them and to see how all those different disciplines come together to help the families
and the kids that we work with is quite special.
