Telemedicine: A New Perspective in the Treatment of Internet Gaming Disorder ...CrimsonpublishersTTEH
Telemedicine: A New Perspective in the Treatment of Internet Gaming Disorder Among Adolescents by Georgekutty Kuriala Kochuchakkalackal* in Crimson publishers: Digital Health
The internet era brings an enormous opportunity to contribute in the universal goal of providing quality clinical and health care especially addressing emerging issues that significantly affect the mental health of adolescents brought about by modern technology. What used to be unimaginable is made possible by the integration of advancement in information technology, electronic communications technology, telecommunications, computers and mobile technology with the field of medicine giving rise to the inception of the field of telemedicine as early as the 1960s using radio and telephone [1]. Presently, with the emergence of new health conditions needing immediate diagnosis and treatment, the internet facility plays an important role in communication and in providing these services to patient’s real time. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently recognized gaming disorder as a mental health condition as it continues to affect adolescents in increasing number of countries.

The system proposes a feedback mechanism wherein, sentiment analysis is performed from surveys
and tweets based on prevailing health issues among adult women in India and the social opinion on prevalent
health issues is analyzed, and measures are taken to create awareness using email, SMS, blog, forum posts or
web site posts. The system focuses on study of opinions and subjects discussed in the forum. Sentiment analysis
is performed on this genre and if positive emotions are asserted, then awareness programs can be initiated for
Thyroid issues and Stress Control. Periodically current issues are initiated and Sentiment analysis is performed,
consequently awareness initiatives are created. Thereby, helping the performance improvement of healthcare
initiatives. This awareness initiative helps concentrating on current health issues that are widespread and if the
reach of such awareness programs is better, then the awareness created may have high impact amid the middle
aged women
Recent advances in the evidence base for technology-based behavioral health applications have provided clinicians a better understanding and guidance on the integration of these tools into clinical care. Participants will learn about research findings on current technologies in use in clinical practice, such as audio conferencing, video conferencing, and virtual reality, in addition to tools available for use between patients, such as the use of websites and mobile applications and wearable sensors.

eHealth Consumers in the Age of Hyper-Personalizationchronaki
Where the Internet of Things meets healthcare we see a plethora of tools, gadgets, and apps that promise to improve life, health, and independence. As patients, family members ofr friends, we are subsumed under the term "eHealth consumers”. For us it is increasingly hard to navigate in the unfolding digital reality dominated by new gadgets, and fragmented information, data, and knowledge we don’t control. More personalized and targeted products, services, and content could alleviate this. In this slide deck we are specifically focusing on challenges and opportunities for personalization in view of varying eHealth literacy, lifestyle and health goals.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

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
Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

4. Overview of this talk
O Health care communication experiences
of children and young people with cerebral
palsy and their families
O The potential for communication
technologies to improve engagement in
health from a young age.
O Clinical implications for children, parents,
and health professionals will be presented
along with directions for future research.
5. What do parents want?
• To be involved in decision-making process
• Open dialogue on risks and benefits of therapy;
• To choose the most applicable and feasible therapy
• Info on any necessary post-therapy support and funding
and its availability; and any additional impact of the therapy
(on load; life).
Would eHealth technologies and decision-aids help?
PCEHR + Decision Aids on Interventions
Better evidence
Better access to evidence + its appraisal
Would communication aids / health literacy aids help
children to take part?
6. • Families would like more emphasis on family
centred goals that are mutually agreed on by
clinicians, therapists and families.
• This would ideally involve discussions about
other aspects of the child’s life, and set
appropriate and achievable goals accordingly.
Naturalistic interventions that are feasible
in the everyday life of children with cerebral palsy and their
families
Child’s priorities and goals?
What do parents want?
7. O Consider the impacts of therapies on the
child and family more broadly:
O current family capacity and mental health,
O social and participation consequences, and
O overall quality of life.
‘Cost’ ‘Benefit’ Analysis of interventions
(compared to current)
‘social cost’ and ‘social benefit’ of interventions
What do parents want?
To know the costs and Benefits of All
Options
8. Children with multiple service
providers/supports
O The family and its supports
O The community and its services / members
O Disability service providers / supports
O Education services / supports
O Health service providers / public health supports
Conversations about or affecting health (and health
literacy) happen everywhere.
9. Children with CP encounter many
‘unfamiliar listeners’ in health settings
• The parent is key (common)
• The child is key (central)
• The methods of communication may vary
• The need and opportunity to communicate will vary
(demands, chances)
• Communication access will vary: environmental
barriers & facilitators to communication (knowledge,
attitudes, time, confidence, tools)

OThe parent’s role is often to ‘speak for the
child’ in health appointments. Some things
cannot be known by proxy, but parent
interprets/guesses.
O However, children are also asked questions
directly “how did that happen to you?”
OChildren like to move back and forth from the
‘background’ to the ‘foreground’ in their
interactions with parent/healthcare provider.

12. Strategic Competence
O Healthcare settings offer a variety of unique
opportunities to develop and use skills to
develop
• Health literacy
• Engagement in supported decisions
• Self-advocacy and Self-determination
• Digital literacy / documentation / information
exchange / information management
O How will the child gradually develop
‘healthcare communication competence’ ?
O Which opportunities are to be made/taken as
the child grows with a lifelong condition?

15. Six Core Strategies Across Studies:
Suggested to improve communication
1. develop services, systems, and policies that
support improved communication
2. devote enough time to communication
3. ensure adequate access to communication tools
(call systems and communication aids)
4. access personally held written health information
5. collaborate effectively with carers, spouses, and
parents
6. increase the communicative competence of
healthcare staff

“A personally controlled eHealth record is a secure online
summary of your health information. You control what
goes into it, and who is allowed to access it. Your eHealth
record allows you and your doctors, hospitals and other
healthcare providers to view and share your health
information to provide you with the best possible care.”

What is a Personally Controlled Electronic Health
Record? (PCEHR) [Slated to become myHealth Record]
20. Digital Information & Sharing:
What to share, with whom?
O In hospitals / health settings: voluntary reporting
of incidents into an online system IIMS (for
accreditation) culture of reporting and
sharing increasing safety; spreading knowledge
across sites.
O In eHealth records (Electronic medical records;
Personally controlled eHealth records)
O In Social Media (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, Skype,
Instagram)

Personally Controlled Electronic Health
Record
PCEHR
“it is envisaged that the PCEHR will improve the
interaction between service providers and patients
and will empower patients with their own
healthcare related information to make informed
decisions.”
Muhammad & Wichramasinghe, 2013
24. Personally Controlled Electronic Health Records Act 2012
(Cth): An Act to provide for a system of access to electronic
health records, and for related purposes.
(April 2015) PCEHR is currently ‘opt-in’ – recommended to become
‘opt-out’.
Applying for a PCEHR
as the patient; Part A of Application Form
for a dependent as an Authorised Representative
Once you have a PCEHR, you can request that a ‘Nominated
Representative’ have access to your record (this is done within the
PCEHR system).
People can apply for a PCEHR for a ‘dependent’ (e.g., a person over
18 who does not have legal capacity). (Part B of application form)
25. • Wherever you appear in the health system your history will
be available electronically.
• It’s a summary of your healthcare (not replacement of
local clinical systems)
• Less reliance on your memory and paperwork for
healthcare history.
25
PCEHR key benefits
• Personally Controlled (PC) – designed for the patient to control
their health information.
• System will grow over time with more use & enhanced
functionality as usage grows.

Breach of Privacy
What can I do if I think someone has breached my privacy?
1) Check the audit trail
2) With evidence of a breach contact the System Operator (Medicare
eHealth) by calling 1800 723 471 or visit your local Medicare
Services Centre.
3) Following the receipt of your complaint, the System Operator may
refer your complaint to the Office of the Australian Information
Commissioner or a privacy regulator in a State or Territory.

How long are records stored?
PCEHR Lifetime
• The key records that form part of a deactivated eHealth record,
including any Shared Health summaries, will be stored in the
National Repositories Service for a period of at least 30 years
after death
• if a date of death is unknown, for a period of at least 130 years
after the record was uploaded
33. What do you think of PCEHR?
Will it help in transition to adulthood?
Older Children and Young Adults with Cerebral Palsy & Families.
We would like to talk to you about your impressions of the PCEHR.
Interviews with child / observations at home with computer if NSW.
Interviews can also be by Skype.

35. Clinical Implications
O Parents need to be involved in what
information will assist others to provide
good care
O Children need to be involved in goal-
setting around communicating with health
providers, about health, about
themselves.
O Service providers need to give children
time to respond, and a choice to be
‘background’ or ‘foreground’ in interactions
/ to move between these
36. Clinical Implications
O Clinicians think about being registered
with PCEHR and to assist families and
children in the process of registration,
uploading, and use of the system.
O Clinicians, General Practitioners, need to
advocate use of PCEHR where it might
help to convey and store information over
the lifespan
O Parents need to ask GPs to access the
child’s PCEHR and to use it regularly.
37. Clinical Implications
O Think about goals relating to ‘health
literacy’ and ‘conveying health information’
O Think about the concepts of ‘sharing’ and
deciding, what information to share with
whom, and when?
O Think strategically about how children
with CP can gather information about
health, using online forums.
38. Directions for Future
Research
O Uptake and use of PCEHR and other
online forums including social media
O Health impacts of using Information
Communication Technologies
O Supported decision-making in relation to
eHealth technologies
O Ask young people with CP: What
information is most useful over the
lifespan, for storage and update? Who
should have access, and how does this
help?
39. O Communicative environment of health settings
O Social research on health systems, policies, and
processes of care.
O Patient safety research
O Evaluation of communication interventions
O Costs of care in health settings.
O Experiences of younger children with
communication disabilitiesin health interactions.
O Caregiver mastery, and transfer of care info
O Occupational health and safety issues
O Impact of providing support (for parents / siblings)
