The document discusses sugar addiction and how it is similar to drug addiction. It summarizes a study on rats that found rats developed withdrawal symptoms and cravings when denied sugar. The study also found rats binged on sugar when it was reintroduced and consumed more alcohol during sugar withdrawal, showing sugar can be a gateway to other substances. The document then discusses how sugar, especially fructose, is linked to heart disease, the leading cause of death in the US. It provides tips for reducing sugar intake gradually to overcome addiction.

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

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.

This visual guide breaks down important metrics across four categories: Patient-Centered Metrics, Care Efficiency Metrics, Quality of Life Metrics, and Staff Metrics. Each section is designed to help healthcare professionals monitor and improve care delivery for patients facing serious illnesses. Understand how to implement these metrics in your palliative care practices for better outcomes and higher satisfaction levels.

1. The Ultimate Guide to Kick Sugar
Addiction
Likening a sugar addiction to a drug habit might seem like an overreaction on the surface, but it
might not be exaggerated. Surely, at some point in time, you might have found yourself really
craving a chocolate bar, a slice of cake or a can of a soda pop, even when you’re not hungry. This
is what’s referred to as a stop sugar cravings and almost all of us have experienced this before. But
have you ever stopped to think that these cravings might be symptomatic of a sugar addiction?
If you habitually consume products, whether it’s food or beverages, with large quantities of added
sugar from day to day at consistent times, you might experience an underlying sensation to
continue doing so. Why is that? When we eat sugar, it releases opioids and dopamine in the body;
therefore, Stop Eating Sugar – Ultimate Guide to Quitting .Our brain’s receptors respond to the
substance not unlike the way they do to habit forming, recreational drugs. Our brain associates the
intake of sugar as a reward, and it wants to keep receiving that reward, subsequently creating an
addiction to foods with higher concentrations of sugar. It changes the chemistry of our brains,
altering neuropathways, resulting in the aforementioned overcome your sugar cravings,
overindulging, and withdrawal symptoms ranging from irritability, fatigue and headaches. You
can also become overly sensitive to sugar due to cross-sensitization, amplifying the body’s
response to the stimulus. It can be used as a gateway to other destructive behaviors and addictions
Many researches, internationally mind you, agree that comparing the addictive properties of sugar
to illicit drugs is not much of a hyperbole. Regardless of the fundamental difficulty of
distinguishing a subject’s different types of rewards from their psychological experiences,
scientific research supports that the rewards reaped from sugar can actually replace those we get
from drugs. That doesn’t mean that the response our body gets from sugar is as severe or as potent
as that of an addictive stimulant, like cocaine, but, rather, our bodies find the rewards we get from
the former more desirable. Meaning, the buzz we receive from sugar stands to be more attractive
than the high we get from cocaine.
2. How do We Know This?
About ten years ago, a comprehensive study was conducted by Professor Bart Hoebel, along with
his team in the Department of Psychology, at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute using lab rats
to study the effects it has on the brain. Stop your Sugar Cravings Prior to the experiment, the rats
received consistent dosages of sugar until they had become dependent on the substance, and then
would be denied it for long periods of time. When they were reintroduced to sugar, they ate it in
higher volumes than from before, showing a drastic spike in sugar addiction.
What Were the Results?
● Bingeing: When the sugar was eventually reintroduced to the rats, they self-administered
at higher volumes. This might be due to a combination of one or two things: 1.) cross-
sensitization could result in a much more enhanced reaction than before, so their bodies
want to ride that feeling, or 2.) the tolerance they’ve worked up towards a substance
requires them to ingest more to solicit the delightful feeling you derived from it before.
According to Dr. Hoebel, “Limited periods of access, to create ‘binges’, have been useful,
because the pattern of self-administration behavior that emerges is similar to that of a
‘compulsive’ drug user. Even when drugs, such as cocaine, are given with unlimited access,
humans or laboratory animals will self-administer them in repetitive episodes or ‘binges.’”
● Cravings: Of course, with the abstinence from something your body receives regularly,
we experience a strong desire to be reunited with the substance in question. In this case,
with the rats, in their attempts to be rewarded the sucrose solution they so desperately
desired, they resorted to trying to respond more to cues that could in anyway be associated
with receiving sugar. Their behavior was very similar in a way to what drug abusers go
through during a relapse period.
● Withdrawal Symptoms: During the period of sugar withdrawal, the rats were prone to
bouts of aggression, depression, anxiety and a decrease in body temperature. The funny
3. thing is, not funny “ha-ha,” these are the same exact symptoms rats suffering from opioid
withdrawals. Not even joking. Their anxiety had raised, evident by the considerably
reduced time they spent on the elevated maze. Their depressive state was apparent through
a sort of forced-escape test where they must either swim or float. Less and less rats
attempted to escape, and more and more rats passively floated instead. Hoebel adds
“Spontaneous withdrawal from the mere remove of sugar has been reported using
decreased body temperature as the criterion. Also, signs of aggressive behavior have been
found during withdrawal of a diet that involves intermittent sugar access.”
● Gateway Effect: Due to cross-sensitization, people tend to be drawn to other substances
and drugs. During the withdrawal period, the rats consumed more alcohol than from before
they were derived of their precious sugar, illustrating the changes to their brain function,
very similar to us in identical conditions.
Now that we’re a little more aware of how addictive sugar can be, lets take into consideration
what’s the #1 cause of death in the US. If you guessed heart disease, then you are indeed correct,
with more than 5 million people dying annually from it. That means that one in every four deaths
is the result of heart disease. Compare that to the 72,000 that died from a drug overdose last year,
2017. How does sugar addiction tie into this? Well, just in case you forgot….
Sugar is Devastatingly Harmful to your Health!
Again, it’s as addictive as, if not more than, drugs like cocaine and heroin. Sugar addiction can
also affect your mental well-being just as much as your physical well-being; it has been linked to
certain cancers; and the list goes on… and on… and on.
According to a study conducted by researchers over five years ago at The University of Texas
Health Science Center at Houston, the molecule of sugar has a particularly grim effect on heart
health. Their findings, which was published in the May 21 issue of the Journal of the American
Heart Association, states that sugar not only puts stress on your heart, but it can also lead to heart
failure.
Sugar’s Effect on Your Heart
According to their research, the molecule, glucose 6-phosphate (G6P), “causes stress to the heart
that changes the muscle proteins and induces poor pump function leading to heart failure.” G6P
can accumulate in your body when you consume too much sugar and/or starch.
4. Lead researcher, Heinrich Taegtmeyer, a doctor and professor at the University, added “When the
heart muscle is already stressed from high blood pressure or other diseases, and then takes in too
much glucose, it adds insult to injury.”
With our processed-foods, it’s no wonder the statistics on heart disease are so incredibly
staggering… with 5 million Americans dying from heart failure and 550,000 new patients
diagnosed with heart failure each year in the U.S.
What’s worse? With the numbers rising every year, Taegtmeyer claims there have been little-to-
no significant medical advances in the treatment of heart disease. So that, of course, leaves
prevention. Unfortunately, with instances of obesity through the roof, especially in the younger
generation – methods of prevention are anything but in place.
You Think Glucose is Bad? Try Fructose.
Sugars are not all created equally. Take fructose, for example. Dr. Robert Lustig, Professor of
Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, has been researching
the differences in sugar metabolism for years. What he’s found regarding fructose is quite
shocking:
● Fructose is metabolized by your liver to FAT far more rapidly than any other sugar.
● Fructose promotes the development of visceral fat, which is the dangerous “deep” fat that
wraps around your inner organs and can increase your risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke,
and even dementia.
5. ● Unlike glucose and other sugars with which your liver only has to break down a portion
(approximately 20 percent), the entire burden of breaking down fructose falls on your liver.
This spurs the production of toxins and wastes, including the health-damaging uric acid.
● Whereas your body utilizes glucose for energy and very quickly burns it up, fructose lingers
and turns into free fatty acids, bad cholesterol and triglycerides, which get stored as fat.
● The metabolism of fructose can lead to fatty liver disease and insulin resistance, which of
course is a precursor to diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
● 120 calories of glucose results in less than one (1) calorie being stored as fat; 120 calories
of fructose results in 40 calories being stored as fat.
● Unlike glucose, fructose has no part in helping to regulate ghrelin (your “hunger hormone”)
and leptin, which suppresses your appetite. In fact, Lusting claims that fructose may
actually trigger changes in your brain that lead to overeating and weight gain.

A Sugar Calorie is Not Just a Calorie
Think of what you’ve been told for years: “a calorie is a calorie.” That’s simply not true. As Lusting
points out, you can ingest the “same amount of calories from fructose or glucose, fructose and
protein, or fructose and fat, but the metabolic effect will be entirely different despite the identical
calorie count.” This is misunderstood, quite often. Essentially, if you’re consuming foods that
contain fructose, you’re programming your body to “create and store fat.”
How much is Dangerous?
Many experts recommend keeping your fructose intake to 25 grams or less per day, with 15 grams
or less being ideal. That’s no easy feat considering fructose is in SO many of the foods you eat and
beverages you drink. Not to mention “foods” you don’t think much about, such as ketchup. If
you’re a soda drinker, you’re in big trouble when it comes to fructose. One 12-ounce can of soda
has 40 grams of sugar, half of which are fructose.
Be a Smart Shopper, a Smart Eater By paying close attention to how much sugar you and your
family are ingesting daily, you can make significant changes in your family’s health, not only from
a weight perspective, but from a full-body perspective as well.
However For those looking to break their sugar addiction completely, know this first off: Don’t
quit cold turkey! It’s over-dramatic and it will likely incite a binge, so you might want to approach
6. this a little more gradually. That kind of drastic change can incite stress, which can, in turn, inhibit
immune functions and cause our blood sugar levels to raise. And considering that’s the very thing
we’re trying to avoid, it seems very counter intuitive. The trick is to slowly retrain your taste buds
to enjoy other things that aren’t as sweet.
What Else Can You Do?
● Eat foods with higher concentrations of healthy fats, like fruits, vegetables and organic
proteins to fight of symptoms of fatigue.
● Keep yourself hydrated and have a glass of water to stave off sugar addiction.
● Instead of turning to sugar as a stress reducer, why not just try to get a good night’s rest
instead? Sometimes our sugar cravings might be correlated to a lack of sleep.
● Exercise when you feel like you have no energy. No, really! Take a hike, or go for a walk,
as being more active increases your endorphins.
● Start your day off with a well-balanced, nutritional breakfast to prevent the likelihood of
sugar cravings throughout the day.
● It might make your mornings more difficult, but you might want to consider cutting the
coffee out. Or, at the very least, try and reduce it to one cup a day.
● Try to add spices like cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg to your food to reduce cravings while
adding natural sweetness to your food.
● As stated earlier, sugar is present in so many of the foods and drinks we consume on a day-
to-day basis, so we must be aware of the many names that it goes by: sucrose, dextrose,
lactose, ethyl maltol, maltose, treacle, muscovite, agave nectar, blackstrap molasses,
galactose and much, much more. Know the enemy! These guys can hide in anything, so
start reading the nutritional labels if you aren’t already.
● If you got a monkey on your back screaming for something sweet, try and at least time
your sugar intake at an appropriate time in the day. For example, maybe wait 20 minutes
to a half hour after extraneous activity or workout, as our bodies are much more efficient
at digesting it afterwards.
● Take vitamin D3 and omega 3 fatty acids, or 1000 to 2000 mg of L-Glutamine
● Be wary of artificial sweeteners, as, depending on the frequency in which they’re used, can
cause sugar cravings to worsen, which defeats the whole purpose of a sugar substitute in
the first place.
● If it’s far too difficult to distance yourself from unhealthy, sugary foods, why not combine
them with healthy foods? Chocolate strawberries anybody
● Need to take your mind of your sugar cravings? Chewing gum has been known to help
reduce stress, focus your mind, and help diminish cravings.
● Don’t wait too long to eat in between meals. If you wait too long, and miss appropriate
meal times, may set you up for failure, opting to choose something more accessible and
worse for you.
7. ● We tend to eat our feelings in times of stress and sadness, but that doesn’t treat the cause,
nor the symptoms. Reach out to others for emotional support.
● It’s okay to reward yourself here and there but remember to really limit yourself to how
much that is. You could very easily fall into a relapse of your sugar addiction. Then your
reward becomes your life, again.
● Find a quiet spot to sit and focus on your breathing.
It’s not going to be an easy road to kick sugar addiction, but most things working towards never
are. And the health benefits that come with it do not exclude a considerably reduced risk of heart
disease, obesity, liver disease, fatigue, mental disorders and impotence. And with all that in mind,
is reducing your intake to less than 15 mg a day really that bad?
