The document discusses sleep disturbance in patients with chronic pain. It notes that sleep disturbance is common in this population, occurring in 50-80% of patients, and that there is a bidirectional relationship between pain and sleep, where pain can interfere with sleep and poor sleep can exacerbate pain. It reviews tools for assessing sleep disturbance and discusses non-pharmacological interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy for pain, insomnia, or a combination, as well as pharmacological options for improving sleep.

Natural Treatments for ADHD - April 11, 2018Louis Cady, MD
This presentation will be delivered April 11, 2018 on recorded webinar for the Autism Global Conference. It was my pleasure to prepare and present this lecture (in webinar form), outlining a coherent philosophy of finding biological underpinnings that can cause or contribute to, or exacerbate, mental dysfunction. In the case of this presentation, the question is "How much of ADHD symptomatology is caused by a lack of a good medication, or, rather, lack of a coherent strategy for finding and fixing underlying biological abnormalities?"
Those biological abnormalities in this presentation include MTHFR polymorphisms, COMT polymorphisms, elemental deficiencies (lithium, magnesium, zinc, iron, and copper), essential fatty acid deficiencies, the confound of high fructose corn syrup, and many others.

The Effect of Reported Sleep,
Perceived Fatigue, and Sleepiness on
Cognitive Performance in a Sample of
Emergency Nurses
Lisa A. Wolf, PhD, RN, CEN, FAEN
Cydne Perhats, MPH
Altair Delao, MPH
Zoran Martinovich, PhD
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to explore
the relationship between reported sleep, perceived
fatigue and sleepiness, and cognitive performance.
BACKGROUND: Although evidence suggests that
fatigue and sleepiness affect the provision of care in
inpatient units, there is a lack of research on the sleep
patterns of emergency nurses and the effects of dis-
turbed sleep and fatigue on their cognitive abilities
and susceptibility to medical errors.
METHODS: A quantitative correlational design was
used in this study; in each of 7 different statistical models,
zero-order relationships between predictors and the
dependent variable were examined with appropriate
inferential tests.
RESULTS: Participants reported high levels of
sleepiness and chronic fatigue that impeded full
functioning both at work and at home.
CONCLUSIONS: Although high levels of self-reported
fatigue did not show any effects on cognitive function,
other factors in the environment may contribute to
delayed, missed, or inappropriate care. Further research
is indicated.
Studies of worker fatigue in the military and com-
mercial trucking industries1,2 suggest that long hours,
especially extending into overnight, can be hazardous
in terms of the potential for errors due to sleepiness
and reduced vigilance. Medical providers, both nurses
and physicians, are at risk because of the need for
around-the-clock coverage and the number and type
of decisions they must make in a given time span; in
1989, the Bell Commission Report cited sleep depri-
vation in medical house officers as a major contrib-
utor to the 1984 death of Libby Zion, an 18-year-old
who died at New York Hospital, leading to a restruc-
turing of the hours involved in medical residencies.3
The long (up to 36 hour) shifts of the medical resi-
dents in charge of her care and the consequences of
their fatigue on the decisions that were made were
cited as factors in her death. As a result of their inves-
tigation of the case, the Bell commission recommen-
ded limiting the work hours of medical residents to
less than 80 hours a week and no more than 24 hours
in a row, and subsequent research has led to similar
recommendations for the nursing workforce.4,5
Emergency care settings are chaotic environ-
ments, where there is high patient turnover, constantly
changing priorities and frequent changes in patient
condition. High demand work settings are associated
with increased fatigue, which can impair nurses_ at-
tentiveness and ability not only to recognize potential
errors they might commit but also to recognize and
mitigate the errors of others, inc ...

Heart failure refers to a condition whereby the heart fails to pump sufficiently to maintain a
blood flow which will meet the body’s need, and is the common final pathway for various cardiac
diseases. Despite advances in heart failure treatment, the prognosis remains poor with high rates of
hospitalisation, morbidity and mortality. Recent data has reported that all-cause mortality is up to
32.1% at 2 years and 54% at 5 years for heart failure patients [1].These data highlight the importance
of identifying all modifiable conditions that may aggravate heart failure in these patients.

Objective: Insomnia and major depressive disorders (MDD) often co-occur, and such comorbidity has
been associated with poorer outcomes for both conditions. However, individual differences in depressive
symptom trajectories during and after treatment are poorly understood in comorbid insomnia and
depression. This study explored the heterogeneity in long-term depression change trajectories, and
examined their correlates, particularly insomnia-related characteristics. Method: Participants were 148
adults (age M � SD � 46.6 � 12.6, 73.0% female) with insomnia and MDD who received antidepressant
pharmacotherapy, and were randomized to 7-session Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia or
control conditions over 16 weeks with 2-year follow-ups. Depression and insomnia severity were
assessed at baseline, biweekly during treatment, and every 4 months thereafter. Sleep effort and beliefs
about sleep were also assessed. Results: Growth mixture modeling revealed three trajectories: (a)
Partial-Responders (68.9%) had moderate symptom reduction during early treatment (p value � .001)
and maintained mild depression during follow-ups. (b) Initial-Responders (17.6%) had marked symptom
reduction during treatment (p values � .001) and low depression severity at posttreatment, but increased
severity over follow-up (p value � .001). (c) Optimal-Responders (13.5%) achieved most gains during
early treatment (p value � .001), continued to improve (p value � .01) and maintained minimal
depression during follow-ups. The classes did not differ significantly on baseline measures or treatment
received, but differed on insomnia-related measures after treatment began (p values � .05): Optimal-
Responders consistently endorsed the lowest insomnia severity, sleep effort, and unhelpful beliefs about
sleep. Conclusions: Three depression symptom trajectories were observed among patients with comorbid
insomnia and MDD. These trajectories were associated with insomnia-related constructs after commenc-
ing treatment. Early changes in insomnia characteristics may predict long-term depression outcomes.
What is the public health significance of this article?
This study identified three distinct depression trajectories in patients with comorbid major depression
and insomnia disorders during treatment and 2-year follow-up. Those with the largest and most
sustained improvements in depression consistently scored the lowest on postbaseline insomnia and
insomnia-related cognitions. Early changes in insomnia symptoms and insomnia-related character ...

Helpful Questions to Ask
1. What time do you generally go to bed and what time do you wake up?
Asking this is important as it helps to rule out night-time insomnia as the cause of the patient’s day time sleepiness. In order to diagnose her with a sleep/wake disorder, it has to be clear that her condition is being caused by an underlying issue that has nothing to do with the sleep itself.
1. What happens when you fall asleep?
Asking this allows the patient to explain in detail all the symptoms that she has been experiencing, with regard to her disorder. This information is crucial in helping to correctly diagnose a particular sleep/wake disorder.
1. Are you taking any medications? If so, which ones?
A number of health issues, including some sleep/wake disorders are have a lot to do with pharmacodynamics. The patients day time sleepiness may be caused by certain drug actions or interactions and as such would require a restructuring of their medication or dosages.
The person that would be most helpful in evaluating the patient’s sleep patterns in this case would be the husband. Given that she has no children and keep little contact with her family or friends, the husband is the only person who has stayed with the patient long enough to properly observe the quantity and quality of her sleep. In sleep evaluation cases, getting a second person’s assessment is important as the patient may not be able to correctly or exhaustively explain what happens when they fall asleep. In this case, specific questions to the patient’s husband would include the following:
1. What happens when your wife falls asleep? (This allows the husband to explain in his own words what he has observed in his wife’s sleep pattern.
2. What do you think causes her sleep to be this way? (This may help bring new information which the patient may have deliberately or unintentionally left out.)
In order to diagnose narcolepsy, a number of physical and diagnostic tests can be done. Physical tests generally involve learning the patient’s medical history, analyzing the patient’s symptom self-assessment, checking the patient’s vitals and observing their general appearance. A physical test reveals symptoms and patterns which may help the health practitioner diagnose the patient with a particular sleep/wake disorder. For instance, a narcoleptic patient’s physical exams would entail such symptoms as excessive daytime sleepiness, hallucinations, sleep paralysis and cataplexy. The physical test can also include an Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) questionnaire, which is employed in many sleep clinics to evaluate patients’ sleep quantity and quality. In an ESS, patients are asked to rate a range of activities in which they are likely t ...

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites
