In this episode, Dr. Mark Hoffman invites Dr. Ted Lee, an OBGYN specializing in minimally invasive gynecologic surgyer (MIGS) and professor of OBGYN at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, about the ambulatory workup of endometriosis patients. Dr. Lee discusses the difficulties of diagnosing endometriosis, including: the stigma and disbelief around pelvic pain, the discomfort of physicians in asking the appropriate questions for pelvic pain, and the hesitancy towards surgery by physicians and patients. Many patients have been having pain for years that may have been covered up by oral contraceptive use or misdiagnosis. Dr. Lee explains key points for history-taking, physical exam, and imaging indications throughout the episode.

MGM Healthcare Marks a Milestone: Successful Treatment of Moyamoya Disease in Young Patient In a remarkable testament to medical excellence and resilience, MGM Healthcare achieved a significant milestone in successfully treating Moyamoya Disease, an exceptionally rare condition affecting only about one in a million people. Guided by the expertise of Dr. Roopesh Kumar, the medical team conducted a challenging brain bypass surgery for a seven-year-old patient, confronting the intricacies of blood vessels less than 1mm in size. Acknowledging the complexity of the surgery, Dr. Roopesh Kumar emphasized the difficulty posed by the minute scale of the blood vessels. Despite these challenges, the surgical team's dedication and precision prevailed, culminating in the successful completion of the procedure. This achievement holds particular importance as Moyamoya Disease predominantly affects the childhood age group. The successful surgery not only brings relief to the young patient but also underscores MGM Healthcare's commitment to delivering advanced and compassionate medical care. Today, we celebrate the resilient spirit of the seven-year-old who, post-surgery, has not only overcome a rare medical condition but has fully recovered. This success story illuminates the transformative power of medical innovation, the unwavering dedication of healthcare professionals, and the remarkable strength inherent in young hearts.

With healthcare increasingly reliant on #technology, effective #communication with patients becomes paramount, as Dr. Jon Sen from the Mayday Group Limited emphasises. A recent case involving a 62-year-old UK patient who suffered a back injury in Spain highlights the importance of listening to patients' narratives. Despite initial assessments indicating a minor muscular injury, persistent back pain raised concerns, prompting Mayday to advise the patient to seek further imaging. Subsequent scans revealed a severe spinal injury and an unknown aortic aneurysm, highlighting the value of ongoing dialogue and thorough #medicalevaluation. The #patient underwent successful spinal surgery in Seville before being #repatriated to the UK for continued care, illustrating the critical role of #communication in uncovering hidden diagnoses and ensuring appropriate #treatment.

The more and more I work on this technology, the more and more I gain an appreciation for ultrasound spectrometry. It is akin to #dualenergy or #spectral #CT. #Diagnostic #imaging is no longer simply about the #morphology, but rather the #signal #deconvolution that can #characterize the #anatomy. In the case of #REMS, an effective #musculoskeletal characterization of bone and muscle health in a portable easy-to-use platform.

A groundbreaking investigation, published on Stat News, indicatesan incredible trend that might revolutionize the field! Research highlights the exceptional performance and prowess of female surgeons . #Patients treated by male #surgeons were 25% more likely to die within 90 days, and 24% more likely to die within a year. Patients treated by male surgeons were 5% more likely to be readmitted to the hospital within 90 days, and 4% more likely to be readmitted within a year. Patients treated by male surgeons were 9% more likely to experience #complications within 90 days and within a year. Female patients fared far worse than expected and had higher rates of adverse postoperative events within a year when #treated by male surgeons: Female patients had higher rates of #adverse #postoperative events within a year when treated by male surgeons. Female surgeons are likely doing something differently outside of the operating room that benefits patient care. Practice style and physician-patient communication, which can affect patient outcomes, differ between male and female surgeons. Women are less likely to receive referrals, work on high-complexity cases, have leadership positions, and leave academic medicine at a higher rate than men. Future #research will explore other aspects of the patient #care pathway and understand the reasons behind differences between male and female surgeons. Don't miss out, and don't be shy about sharing this fascinating study - find out more in the article below. #Surgeons #GenderEquality #Research #HealthcareImpact

Neurologic system #NeuroLogicControl 🧠 - The neurologic system, overseeing body functions, is interconnected with every other body system. #InterrelatedImpacts 🔄 - Diseases in other body systems can lead to neurologic impairments; for instance, heart surgery may trigger a stroke. #EverydayAssessment 🌟 - Routine nursing care involves basic yet extensive tests to assess neurologic status, from conversations to simple motor tasks. #SpeakToAssess 🗣️ - Just talking with a patient reveals valuable information about orientation, level of consciousness, cognitive function, and speech ability. #MovementMatters 🚶♂️ - Engaging patients in simple tasks like walking aids in evaluating their motor ability, a crucial aspect of neurologic assessment. #KnowledgeIsCare 💡 - Understanding neurologic assessment techniques enhances patient care, potentially preventing irreversible neurologic damage. So, in the intricate web of body systems, neurologic assessment emerges as a fundamental thread for comprehensive patient care.
