How nice to see increased representation in #MedicalSchool translating to a growing percentage of women in many medical specialties, although representation in three specialties remains under 20%. Women accounted for 38% of active physicians in 2022, up from 26% in 2004, and the number of women in the active physician workforce overall grew by 97% over that period. Progress in the specialties was especially notable in critical care, gastroenterology and urology. https://buff.ly/4aEfelt #WomeninMedicine #Medicine #Inclusion

The modern healthcare sector owes its current advancements to digitising medical records, which can lead to better patient health outcomes by streamlining processes and enhancing the care experience. HIPAA's comprehensive framework offers a solution to ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive data stored within EHRs containing patient information in electronic formats, which have become imperative. Importance of EHRs

Did you know that nephrologists and urologists play different yet complementary roles in your health? Nephrologists focus on kidney diseases and non-surgical treatments, while urologists address both medical and surgical concerns of the urinary system.

An 11-year-old young boy diagnosed with a secundum atrial septal defect. The margin is 11.2 mm from the inferior vena cava, 11.6 mm from the superior vena cava, 0 mm from the aorta, 10.8mm from the opposite wall of the aorta, and 15.2mm from the mitral valve. The defect size was measured 11.4×11.2×13.2mm before procedure. As healthcare professionals, what approaches would you consider for management?

Urinary and fecal #incontinence remains a silenced problem for many patients despite affecting millions of people worldwide. 🌍💧 We join #WorldContinenceWeek to break the taboo, promote education and encourage a comprehensive approach to this condition. Dr. David Carracedo Calvo, head of the Functional and Female Urology Unit has participated today in the I Congress of ASOCIACION INCONTINÈNCIA ASIA www asiasuport org to talk about the "Approach to Urinary Incontinence. Treatments and clinical cases QR". We #urologists play an important role in the identification, diagnosis and treatment of incontinence. It is our duty to #inform our patients that there are multiple therapeutic options to end incontinence and #breakdown the barriers that prevent them from seeking help. #WorldContinenceDay #WorldContinenceWeek2024 #PelvicFloor #PelvicPain #DíaMundialDeLaContinencia #DíaMundialContinencia #Incontinencia #SemanaMundialContinencia2024 #DejaDeEscapar2024 #SueloPélvico #DolorPélvico ASIA - Asociación para la Incontinencia anal

Excited to share our latest publication in the Journal of Urology! Here, we delved into a critical topic: comparing same sitting bilateral vs unilateral RIRS in the elderly population. With global life expectancy on the rise and the incidence of stone disease among the elderly is expected to surge; we analyzed 641 patients aged 70 and above from two multicenter databases. Our findings reveal that patients undergoing bilateral RIRS are typically symptomatic or recurrent stone formers. However, carefully selected individuals undergoing bilateral procedures did not exhibit significant differences in the need for ancillary procedures, with acceptable complications. Once again, patient selection proves crucial in maximizing stone-free rates, minimizing the need for general anesthesia, and limiting complications. 🛡️#Flexor, #endourology, #RIRS

Maximizing reimbursements in Urology EHR billing is a top priority for keeping the practice solvent. Begin by utilizing your EHR system's extensive documentation features to ensure precise coding and billing for urology-specific operations, lowering the likelihood of claim denials due to missing or incorrect data. Staying current with ICD-10, CPT, and HCPCS codes is crucial as they directly impact urology billing. Integrating real-time insurance eligibility verification into your EHR can help identify coverage issues before providing services, reducing delays and denials. The EHR's automated claim submission and tracking capabilities accelerate the reimbursement process by reducing manual errors. Finally, regular billing audits, paired with ongoing staff training, ensure that your team is up to date on compliance, avoiding costly mistakes while improving revenue cycle efficiency. By strategically optimizing these factors, urology practices can significantly enhance their ability to minimize billing issues.

My aim is to change the direction of dementia research so that it focuses on what is most relevant. When the symptoms of dementia appear the same regardless of the underlying condition, there is likely to be a common mechanism. A comparison could be made with Type 1 diabetes mellitus where the primary problem is deficiency of insulin. Irrespective of the cause of damage to the specialised islet cells in the pancreas (e.g., autoimmunity, radiation, surgery), the symptoms appear the same. For dementia, the question is which part of the brain is being affected such that the symptoms are consistent? It is not easy to challenge the basic concepts of dementia, but this is too important for us to stand on the sidelines. #dementia #alzheimers #endalz #research #brainhealth
