Programs for Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: Three Approaches
Continuous Care Intervention in Type 2 DiabetesJames McCarter
CME Talk at Washington University Kilo Diabetes Symposium, November 2nd, 2018. CME Objectives:
1. Describe the evidence for carbohydrate restriction in the management of type 2 diabetes.
2. Distinguish between nutritional ketosis, fasting ketosis and ketoacidosis.
3. Discuss the role of ketones as both energy sources and signaling molecules.
4. Discuss the rationale for reduction of glycemic-control prescriptions following implementation of nutritional ketosis in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
5. Hypothesize factors that allow for sustained behavior change in diabetes reversal and remission.
The Top Myths About Ketosis Debunked by Clinical TrialsJames McCarter
Present at CrossFit Health. October 13, 2019 by Dr. James McCarter. The one goal for this talk is arm medical providers to answer any objection to ketogenic and low carb nutrition approaches for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and other chronic metabolic diseases.
Data Driven is just the beginning, why the details of evidence matter by Dr. ...James McCarter
At Virta Health, our values include being evidence-based and prioritizing data and science over opinion in our decision-making. But how does this apply to the data we provide employers? Here are three questions we think employers should be asking healthcare providers and vendors offering health solutions to make smarter data-driven decisions (and some examples of vendor data that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny).
Evidence for a new category of diabetes care reversalJames McCarter
Virta Health doesn't just prevent or manage type 2 diabetes. We reverse the disease and restore metabolic health.
Virta Health delivers the first clinically-proven treatment to safely and sustainably reverse type 2 diabetes and other chronic metabolic disease without the risks, costs, or side effects of medications or surgery. Join us for this educational session as we review the impact of the Virta Treatment on metabolic and cardiovascular health in our clinical trial and nationwide commercial populations. We’ll discuss how nutritional ketosis combined with continuous remote care—technology-enabled and proactive, near real-time care from physicians and health coaches—is helping patients normalize blood sugar, remove diabetes medications, and lose clinically-significant body weight.
What Spine Surgeons Need to Know About Dietary Strategies for Heart Disease a...James McCarter
Presentation to the North American Spine Society Annual Meeting. Interdisciplinary Spine Forum: Obesity and Diabetes: Impact on the Spine and Evidence-Based Management Strategies. Organized by Dr. Carrie Diulus
Diabetes and obesity have reached epidemic proportion. It is imperative that spine providers take these factors into consideration. We also have the opportunity to be powerful motivators to our patients with some straight forward evidence-based strategies.
Upon completion of this session, participants should gain strategies to:
Understand impact of metabolic syndrome on spine conditions/degeneration and treatment outcomes
Learn dietary strategies to have a positive impact on these conditions and the most current science behind these recommendations
Understanding the impact of strategies on heart disease and lipids
How to implement recommendations in a busy clinical setting

2. Distinguish between nutritional ketosis, fasting ketosis and ketoacidosis.
3. Discuss the role of ketones as both energy sources and signaling molecules.
4. Discuss the rationale for reduction of glycemic
control prescriptions following
implementation of nutritional ketosis in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
5. Hypothesize factors that allow for sustained behavior change in diabetes reversal and
remission.
About the Ketogenic "Keto" Diet in One PageJames McCarter
Nutritional ketosis is a metabolic state where the body is predominantly fueled by dietary fat or body fat. It occurs when dietary carbohydrates are limited, dietary protein is moderate, and ketones are produced by the liver as part of fatty acid metabolism.
Fat as a Health Food: Benefits & Course Corrections During a Year of Tracking...James McCarter
Ketosis, where the body burns fats in preference to carbohydrates, is being promoted as an approach to weight loss and treatment for chronic diseases. I’ve taken a Quantified Self approach to tracking my experience with ketosis seeing a number of benefits and challenges along the way. One of the conclusions, which I’m testing further, is that the types of fats used to replace carbohydrates may be critical to optimal health in response to a ketogenic diet. These slides are from my March 17, 2015 presentation to the Quantified Self St. Louis Group (www.quantifiedstl.com) at the Cambridge Innovation Center.

The present study concluded that chronic diseases like diabetes affect the quality of life of patients.As the main goal of any medical care is the improvement of the patients’ overall quality of life, the clinical pharmacist imparted patient education through counseling has a major role in improving the physical as well as mental health outcomes.
Recently, several novel glucose-lowering targets have had drugs developed. This has resulted in several new drugs that have been approved for the local market to treat hyperglycaemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.
This presentation will attempt to provide:
A concise summary of these drugs for an Intensive Care Physician.
A pragmatic framework for what the non-Endocrinology Doctor should do with these drugs whilst the patient is in, and being discharged from, the Intensive Care Unit.
An outline of current trials evaluating glycaemia in the Intensive Care Unit.

Purpose: Type 2 diabetes mellitus represents a significant health problem. Many studies
have reported that intensive nutritional intervention by itself or in addition to medications
is the best method to improve glycaemic control in type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, in
clinical practice, dietary education is not implemented as an integral part in the
management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this systematic review and
meta-analysis is to analyse the scientific evidence concerning the role of nutritional
intervention in the glycaemic control of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: We searched

Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Association with Type 2 Diabetes Me...PranatiChavan
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a clinical condition that is associated with energy metabolism, particularly carbohydrate and fat management in the organism. An increase in the prevalence of diabetic population and the association of decreasing patient compliance and medication adherence leads to prefer a new concept for the management of disease complications.
The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has proved to be effective for controlling diabetes.
Objectives: The purpose of this review is to perform an overview of CAM use, to emphasize its importance for managing diabetic complications and to get outfits of CAM.
Discussion: A literature survey was done by using various articles related to CAM and Diabetes mellitus. The focus was kept on
the frequency of CAM use, the methods they use, the factors related to the use of CAM, the sources of information about CAM
treatment, and the effect of the method used for disease management.
Conclusion: This review concluded that CAM therapy found to have adept at reducing blood glucose, maintaining a healthy
body, and relieving symptoms of DM. From the study, the relevance of CAM for managing Diabetic complications was verified
And the future need to perform scientific researches on CAM use was analyzed.
Emerging big data assets allow more accurate prediction of improved hba1c outcomes for common diabetes drug regimens based on patient characteristics. Building on existing literature and methodologies, an initial model for personalized diabetes drug regimen prediction has been developed. Results improved upon previous similar models. The building blocks for this model can be generalized for applications in personalized medicine.
Effectiveness of health coaching on diabetic patients:A systematic review and...LucyPi1
Abstract
Background: Using health coaching to improve the quality of life and health outcomes of the patients with
diabetes mellitus, has emerged as a possible intervention. However, the few published randomized controlled trials
using health coaching for patients with diabetes mellitus have reported mixed results. The present meta-analysis
aimed to determine the effectiveness of health coaching on modifying health status and quality of life among
diabetic patients and to clarify the characteristics of coaching delivery that make it most effective. Methods: This
study searched for articles on randomized controlled trials of health coaching interventions targeting type 2 diabetic
patients that were published in the English language from January 2005 through December 2018 in the Cochrane,
Medline, PubMed, Trip, and Embase databases. Patients in the control group received usual diabetes mellitus care,
and those in the experimental group received health coaching based on usual diabetes mellitus care. The primary
outcomes included Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and cardiovascular disease risk factors, including systolic blood
pressure, diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density
lipoprotein cholesterol, total cholesterol, and body weight. The secondary outcomes included quality of life,
self-efficacy, self-care skills, and psychological outcomes. Results: Health coaching intervention has a significant
effect on HbA1c [mean difference (MD) = -0.35, confidence interval (CI) = -0.47, -0.22, I2 = 83%, P < 0.001] and
HDL-C (MD = -0.50, CI = -0.93, -0.07, I2 = 10%, P = 0.02). The most effective strategy for health coaching
delivery associated with improvement of HbA1c was decreasing the number of sessions and increasing the duration
of each session. However, no significant difference was found for weight, SBP, diastolic blood pressure,
triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or total cholesterol. Mixed results were reported for the effect of
health coaching on quality of life, self-efficacy, self-care skills, and depressive symptoms outcome. Conclusion:
Health coaching intervention has a significant effect on HbA1c and HDL-C, and the most effective strategy is
decreasing the number of sessions while increasing session duration. However, these results should be interpreted
with caution as the evidence comes from studies at some risk of bias with considerable heterogeneity and
imprecision.
Obesity context of type 2 diabetes and medication perspectivesApollo Hospitals
Drug therapy of obesity has harsh antecedent that many earlier introduced drugs are withdrawn from market. The drugs in present use lack sufficient long-term efficacy and safety data. The difficulty of reversing changing dietary habits and decline in physical activity, however, offers major scope for anti-obesity therapeutics, implied in managing the epidemic chronic inflammatory maladies and cardiovascular sequel. Metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus, commonly associate with obesity. Weight reduction is crucial to prevent and control type 2 diabetes. This emphasizes rational choice of therapeutic regimens that do not themselves cause weight gain, and better promote weight loss. Such an aspect is addressed briefly focusing upon the available newer anti-obesity drug options, in particular.

Dr Sujoy Dasgupta presented the study on "Couples presenting to the infertility clinic- Do they really have infertility? – The unexplored stories of non-consummation" in the 13th Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE 2024) at Manila on 24 May, 2024.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

19. What is nutritional ketosis and why is it beneficial?
● Nutritional ketosis is a metabolic state in which the body is
predominantly fueled by fats from the diet or body fat stores
● Ketone bodies are natural products of liver fatty acid metabolism
● Ketone bodies increase during fasting or when dietary
carbohydrates are limited to < 30 g/day with moderate protein
● During fasting, ketones provide 60% of the brain’s energy needs
Benefits of ketosis arise from …
● Alternative energy with decreased reliance on glucose/insulin
“rollercoaster” especially in individuals with insulin resistance
● Hormonal properties of ketones signaling for reductions in
inflammation (NLRP3) and oxidative stress (HDAC)
