- Both in the U.S. and around the world,

there is a bias, or even a discrimination

against women in the health care system.

Often, the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases

or other diseases, and the treatment patterns

are based upon clinical trials, studies,

and research that have been done largely in men.

When those are superimposed on women,

women may not be getting the specific diagnosis

or treatment that they deserve for their diseases.

For cardiovascular diseases, as an example,

many of the studies on things like statins

and high blood pressure have been done largely

with male populations.

And so, how do we know the right treatment

at the right time for the right person,

if we don't have more women included in studies,

and if we don't find a way to make sure

that our treatments are specific to genders.

In modern society today, you know, women have

an equal right to be represented in the healthcare system.

Women have an equal right to have treatments

that are designed to work for them.

And we must make sure that there are not biases

in the system against women.

Women, for example, who are pregnant and have

gestational diabetes have a much higher risk

of heart disease later in their life,

and we need to get our healthcare systems

to begin asking questions of women

about what was their pregnancy like.

How can we make sure that women have

a continuous treatment of care from their physician

who might treat them in their childbearing years,

to their physicians who might be treating them

later in life.

The wider economy is certainly impacted

because of this bias.

First of all, women may not be getting

the right treatments, so that might mean multiple trips

to the doctor, multiple medications that are tested

before a women gets to the right treatment.

Secondly, some women aren't getting treated at all,

and we know that the cost of delaying healthcare

has a very significant disadvantage to the overall economy.

Thirdly, we recognize that women who are in disadvantaged

areas and may not have access to healthier food,

safe places to exercise, may not be able to manage

and control their risk of many diseases,

will be disadvantaged and the healthcare system

will pay a very steep price.

Stakeholders must come together and be willing

to have the discussion that there is a bias

against women in the healthcare system.

There must be a roadmap for how we assure that women

are included in clinical trials.

That when new drugs and new devices are developed,

that there are those that are able to work

specifically for women.

One example we often like to give, is that for patients

that have very significant heart failure,

and they may be waiting for a heart transplant,

often are given an artificial heart in this interim

time period.

And the only FDA approved artificial heart

in the United States right now, does not fit

most women's bodies.

And so if that isn't disadvantaging women,

I'm not sure what it.

Coordination among all stakeholders is critical

to remove this bias and make sure that women

have equal access to the best of our healthcare systems

and to the best of prevention and treatment strategies.

Concussion: Pathophysiology, Causes, Symptoms and Treatment, Animation - Duration: 4:18.

concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that affects normal brain

functions it occurs as a result of a forceful blow either direct or indirect

to the head an example of an indirect blow is a whiplash type injury that

causes the brain to shake quickly back and forth inside the skull in a direct

blow injury may develop on the side of contact with the force or on the

opposite side of the head concussion may be caused by Falls

contact sports motor vehicle accidents or physical abuse brain injury can occur

with translational rotational or angular movements of the head rotational and or

angular forces cause the brain to twist against the brainstem the thin stalk

that connects the brain to the spinal cord and damaged the structures within

because the brain stem controls many vital bodily functions including

consciousness rotational and angular injuries usually result in loss of

consciousness and are often more serious concussion is a functional injury rather

than structural a concussed brain usually looks normal on a brain imaging

test the damage occurs at a microscopic level and generally affects a large area

of the brain the mechanical impact exerted by the blow sends shockwaves

that diffuse through the brain tissues stretching and possibly shearing

membranes of neurons especially along the long axons that are responsible for

transmitting signals from one neuron to another the events that take place

during and after concussion are complex and not fully understood but likely to

involve ionic imbalances and energy crisis due to reduced blood flow ionic

disturbances such as abnormal potassium efflux and calcium influx interfere with

action potential dynamics disrupting normal communication between neurons

reduced blood supply impairs cellular functions and makes the brain more

vulnerable to further damage children and teens are at greater risks for brain

injury because their brain is still developing and therefore more

susceptible to insults axons and young brains are not fully myelinated easier

to get damaged and take longer to recover brain development may also stop

for some time after sustaining a concussion signs and symptoms of

concussion can be subtle it may not appear immediately it is common for the

first signs to show up after 20 minutes 2 hours from the time of impact common

symptoms include headache drowsiness dizziness sensitivity to light loss of

memory difficulty concentrating and feeling slowed down patients should be

observed for at least 48 hours for worsening signs such as loss of

consciousness increasing headache repeated vomiting slurred speech

confusion unusual behaviors seizures and limb weakness or numbness any of these

would require emergency care concussion usually resolves on its own with proper

physical and cognitive rest the majority of people fully recover after a couple

of weeks but some may take longer during recovery the brain is much more

vulnerable to further insults and any activities that may potentially cause

another impact should be avoided a repeated injury while the brain is

recovering may exacerbate symptoms result in permanent brain damage

and can be fatal

Dr Yaganti on Treatment of Aortic Stenosis - Duration: 1:10.

When I usually talk to patients,

I'd say there are three different ways

we can treat your aortic stenosis.

The first way is medications which don't work

because it's a mechanical problem.

The only thing that works is replacing the valve.

The second option which is a more traditional option

is surgery where you undergo open heart surgery

and the surgeon takes your aortic valve out

and then they put a surgical valve in.

The third option which is the latest option is TAVR.

TAVR stands for transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

It's pretty similar to an angiogram

where interventional cardiologists will go through the groin

and take a look at the arteries and the heart.

We can actually replace a patient's valve

using a similar route, not in all patients

but a majority of the patients.

Because the patient is not undergoing sternotomy

and they're not on a heart-lung machine,

so the recovery is much shorter.

The risks associated with the procedures are smaller

compared to other options which is surgery.

Dr Nannapaneni on Additional Treatment for Arrhythmia - Duration: 0:23.

They should call their doctor

and inform them that their symptoms are back.

Sometimes, it might require additional medications

along with the cardioversion to hold their rhythm.

Sometimes they may require cardiac ablation

if the medications don't work

or if they don't want to take medications.

Improving Drug Delivery in Cancer Treatment - Duration: 1:12.

Some of our successes in understanding how cells do inorganic chemistry led us to discover

the nanobins.

What nanobins are are little lipid droplets — they're kind of fat bubbles — in which

we can crystallize these inorganic drugs and then use that lipid droplet as a cargo bin.

What we've discovered is how to formulate, how to build these up, so that they — when

they're injected — they get concentrated in the tumor, and that drug can then be released

by a chemical process that is going on inside the cancer cell.

So using our knowledge of the chemistry of the cancer cell, using our knowledge of how

vascular biology and how tumors recruit nutrients, we're able to get these nanobins concentrated

in an area where they then can have a triggered release of the drug substance.

The nanobins that don't go into the tumor, then, are often filtered out and removed from

the body so we don't have nearly as much off-target toxicity.

Chiropratic treatment Arlington TX, Chiropractic shoulder treatment - Duration: 1:49.

I'm here to talk to you about Dr. Milne and the thing she's been able to help me with

the health issues I've had and the things she's done for me to help I initially came

to see dr.

Milne for my shoulder I had frozen shoulder and I did not want to have surgery on that

and so um Dr. Milnie help me with that she is various things EMS treatment and of course

adjusting the shoulder back into place and also the cold laser which really helped and

in 4 months I had full use of my shoulder again which is great through that treatment

I also found out about some of the other things that Dr. Milne does so I began NATE treatments

I've had allergy problems my whole life and after the second treatment it turned out I

had a problem with protein and my sinuses cleared and I've not had a sinus problem since

then.

I have not taken an antihistamine or decongestant in almost a year I have clear sinuses and

seasonal allergies are pretty much gone it's also helped my immune system to a point where

I'm able to fight off illness instead of being sick I just fight it off or if I actually

do get sick it doesn't last very long at all the NAET treatments are very different but

they work I'm proof of that I feel a hundred percent better sometimes on difficult things

a problem I've had for a long time or really acute problem it might take two or three treatments

to clear it and I'm real careful especially with food to make sure that I'm really I'm

not going to have a problem before I try it to make sure that I don't experience the

symptoms again.

Lady Gaga's Fibromyalgia Condition & Treatment Reviewed - Duration: 6:07.

Credit to Lady Gaga for bringing more attention to fibromyalgia

a chronic pain condition that affects an estimated 10 million people in the US

and an estimated 3 to 6 percent of the world population

The condition has resulted in Lady Gaga having to cancel world tours

and it would have affected all other

aspects of her life too

In this video we're going to touch on

but first let's go a little deeper into what fibromyalgia

actually is

In addition to widespread pain those with fibromyalgia may also have

So as I'm sure you've gathered, it can be a

devastating condition

If you watch Lady Gaga when in pain during her Netflix

documentary, you'll have seen how debilitating the pain can be

According to national health organizations such as the UK's NHS

But that does not mean that it cannot be cured.

More on that soon

With Lady Gaga's access to many different doctors she would have tried

various treatments that are common for those with fibromyalgia, including

and more.

We are also aware that Lady Gaga has received some treatment

for fibromyalgia with a mind-body aka biopsychosocial approach

But after reviewing the way she handles pain and her documentary, we're sure that Lady Gaga

would greatly benefit from giving this treatment method much more emphasis

So what is the biopsychosocial approach and how would giving this treatment method

more emphasis help her?

The biopsychosocial approach addresses

illness and pain from all angles

This approach is how we treat patients in the

Pathways program that has helped many people recover from chronic pain

conditions including fibromyalgia.

The program includes addressing the physical

psychological and emotional aspects of the person

It uses what is

scientifically proven about the connection between the brain

and physical pain signals

in order to reverse these signals over time

Think of it as retraining your brain to stop creating pain when it's

not needed

Lady Gaga's pain is now chronic

Her nervous system has produced

pain for so long that it's in a habit of doing so

and the more it makes pain the better it gets at doing it again

When it comes to chronic pain three components

are stuck in the cycle of pain.

Namely the brain, nervous system and body

It's critical to educate pain sufferers on the patterns and habits that are

reinforcing the pain cycle and powerful new patterns and habits that we can use

to stop persistent pain

Some of the pain reinforcing behavior that we saw in her

documentary was her distress and anxiety when in pain

Plain and simple this

behavior makes the pain worse

When experiencing chronic pain the first

critical step to get the body and mind out of the fight-or-flight mode is to

perform diaphragmatic breathing

Then use any of these techniques to help further

calm the overactive parts of the brain

From mindfulness and meditation to

positive visualizations and more

We need to take back the areas of the brain that

get hijacked when in pain and the scientific evidence supporting these

techniques is compelling

For example, 2017 research by the University of Utah

published in the Journal of general internal medicine concluded

It can be difficult to practice these

techniques when in pain but it is possible

The techniques are designed to

reduce or eliminate the fear and anxiety around the pain which will reassure her

brain that she's not in danger and the mind does not need to make pain

It's a critical step in breaking the pain habit rather than just letting the pain play out

These pain relief strategies don't just apply to fibromyalgia

They also apply to other chronic pain conditions such as back pain, RSI, migraines etc

Ultimately, pain is a protective mechanism that activates

due to physical stimuli or even perceived dangers

that could be anything

and for Lady Gaga it's most likely to be an overload of

pressure certain situations people and even the expectation of pain

The way others were helping Lady Gaga deal with pain was through massage and ice treatment

That can be useful but it should not be done in isolation as it

leaves the patient focusing on the physical alone

The physical is just the

tip of the iceberg

Lady Gaga mentions in her documentary

that if she gets depressed her body can spasm

This makes it absolutely clear

that so much more attention needs to be focused on her thoughts subconscious or

otherwise that are triggering the pain response

Focusing on just the physical

will not lead to long-lasting pain relief

It will only reinforce the belief

that something is mechanically broken inside which is not the case and only

serves to fuel pain

Help us to help her get better by sending this video out to her

on whatever social media channel you use

and if there is an update from her

or her team we'll update the description in this video

and remember if you or

someone you know suffers from fibromyalgia

or another chronic pain condition

you can be cured

we know more about how the mind and body

work together than ever before

This video is brought to you by Pathways

the chronic pain therapy app

if you suffer from chronic pain

and we'll do our best to retrain your brain so that you can go

back to living a pain-free life

no matter how long you've been in pain

Multimodal Treatment Approach to Pain Management - Duration: 0:34.

I think for pain we need to be treating it multimodal, meaning many different

options all at once. And so, we might be using supplements such as glucosamine

and chondroitin or one of the newer eggshell membrane products, and then a

non-steroidal anti-inflammatory and whether that be kind of our traditional

products that we've been using or there's some really exciting products

out on the market now were they're non-Cox inhibitors, and I think that those have

great potential in our field as well as like a neuropathic pain modulator such

as Gabapentin. So, definitely a multimodal treatment approach.

Dr Yaganti on Treatment of Mitral Regurgitation - Duration: 1:05.

There are three different ways

you can treat mitral regurgitation.

Number one is medical therapy.

If a patient comes in with congestive heart failure,

you can give them diuretics to get the fluid off,

and that can cause symptomatic improvement.

Typically, that is a temporizing measure.

Patients can keep coming back

if you just treat them with medications.

There are two other modalities of treating.

The traditional one is mitral valve repair or replacement,

which is a surgical approach where the surgeon can go

through a sternotomy, which is cutting the breast bone,

getting to the mitral valve

and then trying to repair it.

Most surgeons try to repair it if they can,

but in some situations, you may have to replace it.

The third modality, which is the newer modality,

is the mitral clip procedure

where we can through a vein in the groin

and get from the right side of the heart

to the left side of the heart,

locate where the leak's coming from

and put the mitral clip device.
