“We have nowhere near the capacity to manage all those patients” New research from the US shows that specialists would struggle to cope with the high number of patients with steatotic liver disease. This is largely due to 90% of these patients being overweight, and about 50% of those requiring disease management. In an ideal world, we'd have a system that could detect and manage all these patients, but economic challenges stand in the way. That's where Fatty Liver Alliance and Geoff Red (MSOD) are spot on. At Evido, we are addressing this challenge with a core focus on the entire patient journey and ensuring a sustainable patient pathway from primary care to specialist care. We are dedicated to enabling efficient and affordable detection and management of these people – thereby bridging the gap between the ideal and the real world. 🚀 #datadrivendiagnostics #healthtech #liverdiagnostics
Physician specialists are calling for help now, on the front lines of MASLD and MASH treatment. Geoff Red (MSOD), Franchise Head of Gastroenterology at Spherix Global Insights and Michael Betel have this important discussion about their current research with Gastroenterologists and Hepatologists. "In our survey, Doctors told us that 90% of MASLD/MASH patients fall in the 'overweight' category. Fifty percent in the extremely overweight, 40% in the overweight, and...10% in the lean MASLD/MASH." "We just do not have anywhere near the capacity to handle all of these patients." Multi-disciplinary intervention and care will be needed by these patients. There are also opportunities for tech companies to step up and help patients learn about their own condition. #obesity #MASLD #MASH #NAFLD #NASH #glp1 #liverhealth

We were excited this summer when Zurzuvae, the first oral treatment for postpartum depression, was approved by the FDA. Postpartum depression affects as many as 1 in 8 people who have babies, according to the CDC. And this drug, from Sage and Biogen, was shown to improve depressive symptoms in as little as three days. The companies’ goal was “to enable broad and equitable access for women with PPD who are prescribed this drug.” Yet the announcement this week of a price of $15,900 for a 14-day course raises real concerns about equity and whether this drug will actually be accessible to those that need it. We now put this in the hands of insurance companies with the hope they will cover it in a meaningful way. And, that they don’t require women to “fail” treatment with less-expensive options before paying for this drug. Let’s hope they get this one right. https://lnkd.in/gW6KFi3S #womenshealth #maternalhealth #maternalmentalhealth

Today, on World Kidney Day, we at Indian Society for Clinical Research join the global community in focusing on the vital importance of kidney health. This year's theme, "Kidney Health for Everyone Everywhere," emphasises the need for universal access to kidney care and the critical role that clinical trials play in achieving this goal. In light of this, we wish to highlight an insightful piece from the American Kidney Fund that delves into the pivotal role of clinical trials for kidney disease, offering a deep dive into how these research endeavours lead to significant advancements in treatment and patient care. As we commemorate this day, let's renew our pledge to push the boundaries of what's possible through clinical research and innovation. Together, we can achieve remarkable strides in kidney health, ensuring that effective treatments are within reach for everyone, everywhere.

A possible relative contraindication to using Diltiazem doses in excess of 120mg with Apixaban and Rivaroxaban. In this retrospective cohort study comparing Diltiazem and Metoprolol for rate control in Atrial Fibrillation, involving 204155 patients, 1 year follow up and Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 and older. A Hazard ratio of 1.22 was found for bleeding related hospitalization, Diltiazem relative to Metoprolol. The mechanism of interaction being that of CYP3A4 inhibition increasing AUC for Apixaban by upto 40%. A follow up question worthy of investigation is whether a reduced dose of Apixaban or Rivaroxaban should be considered in patients requiring more that 120mg of Diltiazem in patients who cannot receive beta blockers.

It's a wet and dreary day here in Dublin ☔ But, the team at HealthBeacon is beaming with excitement to announce that our Pathfinder Risk Management Platform (RMP) has been shortlisted in the Health Service Journal Patient Safety Awards 2023 🎉 The platform was nominated in the following categories: - Improving Medicines Safety - Safety Improvement Through Technology. The platform was used as part of an innovative digital pregnancy prevention plan for lenalidomide, an anti-cancer medicine used to treat myeloma, some types of lymphoma and myelodysplastic syndromes in c. 10,000 patients in the UK. This drug although life-changing for many patients, is structurally related to thalidomide, a known teratogenic medicine that causes birth defects. Patient safety was at the core of developing this platform and we're particularly proud of what our team has achieved and the impact it's had on patients' lives 💚 As always, this came to fruition as a result of the incredible partnerships between NHS England, NHS National Services Scotland Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, British Generic Manufacturers Association (BGMA) and PharmaCare Group who all worked closely with patients and patient groups to bring this platform to life. As of July 2023: - 95% of trusts/health boards across the UK have now registered - 2,500 healthcare professionals using the system - More than 26,000 patient Prescription Authorisation Forms processed We are a very proud HealthBeacon team today 😁 #lenalidomide #HSJPatientSafetyAwards #patientsafety #NHSEngland #NHSScotland #GIGCymru #NHSWales #NWSSP #goteamgo #patientfirst
