Back pain lecture april 22 2015
This document discusses the evaluation and treatment of low back pain. It notes that low back pain is very common, affecting 90% of people and costing $40 billion annually. For acute low back pain, the short answer is to leave patients alone and for chronic pain, recommend back classes and functional rehabilitation. Red flags to evaluate for include cancer, infection, or neurological deficits. The goal is to distinguish the 95% with simple back pain from the 5% with serious underlying issues. Conservative treatment is usually sufficient, with opioids not recommended for chronic pain due to lack of evidence of long-term benefit and risk of harm.

This document summarizes various approaches for managing type 1 diabetes, including the bionic pancreas, islet transplantation, and stem cell therapy. It notes that the bionic pancreas can help improve glucose control but has limitations like being invasive and not physiological. Islet transplantation via the Edmonton protocol can cure diabetes, but challenges remain in expanding the donor supply and improving techniques. Stem cell therapy shows promise if stem cells can be encapsulated to both differentiate into insulin-producing cells and avoid immune rejection. Overall, a cure exists on the horizon, but further progress is still needed to overcome immune issues and increase donor availability.
Hfpef
HFPEF is defined as clinical signs of congestive heart failure with a preserved left ventricular ejection fraction over 50%. It accounts for about half of all heart failure cases and is associated with significant mortality. The pathophysiology involves abnormal ventricular stiffness from an upward and leftward shift in the end diastolic pressure-volume relationship. This results in poor exercise tolerance and fatigue. While the exact causes are unclear, comorbidities like hypertension, diabetes and obesity likely play a key role. No treatments shown to improve outcomes for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction have been effective for HFPEF.
