Scarcity of endocrinologists is super concerning and a big topic here at American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) meeting. Can you believe there are only ~3700 endos for the 38 million people living with diabetes. We need to work together to increase the pipeline and attract the next generation of clinicians and help those in the field to have a sustainable business model and from burning out.

I appreciate Robert Gabbay MD, PhD post, he’s absolutely right - the practice of clinical Endocrinology is shrinking at a time when People with Diabetes (PWD) have never needed Endocrinologists more.  A few interesting data points: -- There are 12 million Medicare beneficiaries with a diagnosis of diabetes, and less than 1 million of them saw an Endocrinologist last year -- Wait times to see an Endocrinologist are generally longer than 4 months -- This is a travesty because when PWD are regularly cared for by an Endocrinologist they live healthier, happier lives -- They also utilize $3,500 less in healthcare services per year This problem is getting worse because we pay Endocrinologists wrong. Valendo Health was created to solve this problem by partnering with Endocrinologists to improve practice economics, enhance the professional lives of Endocrinologists, increase clinical capacity, and improve access to care for people with diabetes.  We do this through implementing five operational priorities: -- Build a multi-disciplinary clinical care team led by Endocrinologists -- Provide support staff charged with reducing the administrative burden faced by Endocrinologists -- Improve access, outcomes and revenue through the delivery of virtual care services -- Create a diabetes focused data center designed to risk-stratify the population, track health-status, and develop patient specific care plans -- Develop, negotiate and manage value-based Endocrinology contracts If you’d like to learn more please visit our website or send us a message!

Hyperthyroidism is a growing scare, especially in Asian countries. Weak pulse rates, drastic weight loss, nervous issues and fatigue could be more than mere body-coping issues; they can be the symptoms of Hyperthyroidism. Dr. Manoranjan Tripathy, Consultant of Endocrinology, speaks on Thyroid Awareness in this snippet. Sum Ultimate Medicare caters to public with inputs and information prior to medication. We advice timely diagnosis and a follow-up on prescription to treat the disease at preliminary stages. T3, T4 and TSH tests could be queued post this, if the need be. #thyroidawareness #hyperthyroidism #SUMUM #endocrinology #thyroid

Register Now for the June 2024 ACCP Virtual Journal Club Webinar: Estimation of Absolute and Relative Body Fat Content Using Noninvasive Surrogates: Can DXA Be Bypassed? https://lnkd.in/ecg9uEZB #ACCPVirtualJournalClub #Pharmacokinetics Why is this article important to your practice? This study explores innovative methods to predict body fat content using easily measurable anthropometric variables like age, height, weight and waist circumference instead of relying on the expensive and less accessible dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scanning. This research is crucial as it provides an improved and validated algorithm for predicting absolute body fat, which can enhance clinical practices related to obesity management. Understanding these new predictive methods can directly impact practice, especially considering the critical role that body composition plays in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Efficient and accurate body fat estimation methods are essential for optimizing drug dosing and therapeutic strategies in obese patients, thereby improving treatment outcomes and patient care. Learners that complete this activity will be provided an evidence-based, validated and predictive algorithm as an alternative to DXA scanning to accurately estimate absolute body fat. Target Audience: Interprofessional team of Physicians, Pharmacists, PhDs, Nurse Practitioners and other health care professionals who use the assessment of body fat content in clinical trials and clinical practice. Learning Objectives After completing this activity, the learner will be able to: Describe at least one limitation to the use of DXA scanning for obesity clinical trials and/or drug development; Identify at least one DXA-determined measurement that was selected as a dependent (outcome) variable in this study; List at least one surrogate variable that was predictive of DXA-determined absolute body fat; Identify which surrogate variable had the greatest impact (i.e., magnitude of change) on DXA-determined total body fat in men and women utilizing standardized regression coefficient data.

Pediatric endocrinologists, based on a survey involving 24 professionals from 12 countries, overwhelmingly prefer once-weekly somatrogon over the standard once-daily recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) for the treatment of pediatric growth hormone deficiency (pGHD).

One hundred years ago, #iodine #deficiency was common in the United States and led to goiters, lower IQ, and #neurological impairments. Adding iodine to table salt eliminated this deficiency. Yet, throughout the world, iodine deficiency is the leading cause of intellectual impairment, affecting approximately 50 million people. How do we make this low cost solution to this devastating and preventable deficiency available to all world citizens? https://lnkd.in/g243cyhV
