Talking of innovations in healthcare, one aspect in need of urgent attention is affordability. In laboratory diagnostics at least, the cost of testing is going up despite an increase in a number of players. It feels like there is still no effective competition in the space to drive prices down and pass on to patients. Many who sit in MDTs year in and year out will agree that delays in the treatment of cancer due to families' inability to raise funds for diagnostics is on the increase. And it's very frustrating and disheartening. Come to think of it, have you been in a forum where the affordability of laboratory tests was a key theme? Me neither. As intractable as it may seem, this is exactly the kind of problem innovators in the sector can make a real impact! #UHC #affordablehealthcare #laboratorymedicine #innovationinhealthcare

It is World Donor Day today. Some of us might have donated before, some of us might have been the recipient. No matter what, the healthcare system of today would be unimaginable without this specific scientific process of transfusion. From one-off incidents such as car crashes, to chronic illnesses such as sickle cell anemia — and all major surgeries — blood donations save many lives. But have you ever thought of how it all works? What were the set of technologies and innovations that led to blood transfusion? Swipe to learn more. #blooddonation #technology #scientific #laboratories #healthcare

In this project, we are seeking to analyze factors that influenced organ donation and transplantation before, during and after the Covid-19 pandemic! Specifically, we will be focusing on: 🩺Specific clinical features of the donors 📊Outcomes of allocation procedures 📝Operational protocols and practices put in place to ensure safety and continuity of supply of organ donation. Follow us as we embark on this research journey! bravest-project.eu #WeAreBRAVEST European Health and Digital Executive Agency (HaDEA) #EU4Health #EUFunded #covid19research

Powerful patient stories shared at #IPPC2024 emphasised the critical role of PDMPs. The reality, however, is that Europe's current plasma collection falls short. “Over the past 10 years, the EU has failed to collected enough plasma for fractionation to meet the current plasma needs. “- Matthew Hotchko, PhD   Session 5 at #IPPC2024 explored potential solutions for this challenge. “We need to create much more awareness – the plasma narrative is not well known to the broader public.” – Eva-Maria Merz.   "We need to be patient-centric", said Jean-Philippe Plançon. “To goal is of course to collect enough plasma but the ultimate goal is to treat patients.”   Also, countries with a combined public-private donation model contribute the most to plasma collections in Europe. “We have to help the countries who are considering what model best suits them”. - Svenja Tatjana Barckhausen   Thanks to all the panelists for their powerful insights: Maarten Van Baelen, Hotchko, PhD, Jean-Philippe Plançon, Svenja Tatjana Barckhausen and Eva-Maria Merz #PlasmaProteins #PatientCare #DonorHealth #EUNeedsMorePlasma #SoHORegulation 

💛 ❤️ The importance of patient-powered research projects, like the #EHEbiobank, was emphasized during the 2024 EHE 360 Global Patient Conference. Tissue and bodily fluids donated through the EHE Biobank are essential to advance research, find new treatments, and eventually a cure for #EHE. Participation does not affect your care and excess tissue or fluid is often discarded. Contact our EHE Biobank team at biobank@fightehe.org to learn more or visit our website. ⁠ ⁠ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/enQAjVP⁠ #fightEHE #EHEcancer #rarecancer #rareasone #raresarcoma #EHEfoundation #rarediseasedayofficial #sarcoma #raredisease #rarediseaseawareness #cancerawareness #science #patientpoweredresearch #patientsarethekey

Vanderbilt researchers recently presented new data on the use of guanfacine in 47 hyperadrenergic #POTS patients. They note that 72% of patients responded well to the medication. Responders experienced improvement in orthostatic symptoms, fatigue and a reduction in the number of “hyperadrenergic episodes.” Of the 13 non-responders, 46% reported a worsening of POTS symptoms while taking guanfacine. Factors that predicted a positive respond included an increase in systolic BP upon standing and distinct blood pressure responses during the Valsalva maneuver (a test performed during autonomic testing). The Vanderbilt researchers suggest a formal clinical trial of guanfacine should be conducted in hyperadrenergic POTS patients. This research was presented as a conference abstract, but the journal charges a fee to read the abstract, which is why we are providing a free summary of the key points.

What are your top treatments for 2024 that you are considering implementing? My biggest one is BIMINI! Ultra fine nanobubble oxygen bath at home - https://lnkd.in/g9e5GGPd we have $100 off code "HT100" To understand how it works, see Kaquns research on dissolved oxygen in water bath soaking (they have reversed cancer and several skin and other conditions this way. Their bath is $100k!!! Bimini is less than a tenth of the price and portable). Bimini pricing will be raised substantially in the new year so if you are considering a bath, now is the chance to invest! #HEALINGTOGETHER
