Patients are increasingly interested in managing their own healthcare through technologies like mobile apps and wearable devices that track things like vital signs, medications, appointments and provide personalized health recommendations. However, concerns around data privacy and security must be addressed for patients to feel comfortable taking a more active role in their care through digital tools. Overall, as technologies advance and patients gain more access to their own health data, there are opportunities for individuals to better monitor conditions and make informed decisions in partnership with medical providers.

Anthrax vaccine infographic
Anthrax is a disease caused by infection with spore-forming bacteria, which can enter the body through cuts in the skin, ingestion of undercooked meat, or inhalation. The anthrax vaccine helps prevent anthrax infection through exposure to an antigen protein that develops immunity but does not contain live or killed bacteria. Common mild side effects include redness, swelling, soreness, or itching near the injection site as well as tiredness. The vaccine is given as a series of 6 shots over 18 months followed by annual boosters to maintain protection.
Glaucoma Stats and Facts
Glaucoma can be defined as a group of disorders that lead to progressive optic nerve damage which later cause loss of nerve tissue resulting to vision loss.
Rh cs and fqhcs for chronic care management
Chronic diseases such as cancer, stroke, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and diabetes are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States and throughout the world. Statistics show that more than 40% of U.S adults suffer from chronic diseases making the diseases responsible for about 23% of all hospitalizations in the U.S. Statistics show that cancer and heart disease account for more than 50% of all deaths among elderly people.
Hospital case costing method infographic
Hospital case costing methods aim to control rising healthcare costs while maintaining quality. Total healthcare costs result from many decisions at various levels. Macro cost control requires micro-level analysis of costs. Hospitals have increasingly adopted cost accounting and case mix analysis to provide a link between costs and activities to better understand and control cost trends through "total cost management" using activity-based costing. Accurately estimating hospital service costs is important for efficiency and transparency under DRG-based prospective payment systems.
Medicaid role infographic
Medicaid, the nation’s public health insurance program for low-income people, now covers nearly 60 million Americans, including many working families, as well as many of the poorest and most fragile individuals in the US society.
Health Literacy Tips for Providers
How can you be sure your patients understand the health information you pass on to them? By focusing on health literacy, doctors, nurses and other clinicians can better help patients comprehend complex health information-something of critical importance given today’s transformative healthcare environment.
Physician patient communication infographic
Physician-patient communication is important for improving patient satisfaction and health outcomes. Good communication involves listening to the patient, understanding their perspective on their illness, and discussing treatment options empathetically. It also requires providing information to patients about their diagnosis, prognosis, and recommended tests or procedures. Formal training in communication skills can help physicians communicate more effectively with patients.
CT vs MRI Scan
CT scans and MRIs are two commonly used medical imaging tests that provide more detailed images than traditional x-rays. A CT scan uses multiple x-rays taken from different angles to generate 3D images, while an MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves. Each has different strengths - a CT is better for trauma and bones, while an MRI provides more detailed soft tissue images and is safer for those with metal implants. Both are generally safe, but CT exposes patients to radiation while MRIs cannot be used on those with certain metal implants due to magnetic interactions.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
