The US FDA has approved the first implantable device to treat obesity by electrically stimulating the vagus nerve in the stomach to curb appetite. The Maestro Rechargeable System is approved for obese adults aged 18+ who have a BMI between 35-45 and obesity-related conditions. It works by sending electrical pulses to the vagus nerve to regulate feelings of hunger and fullness. Clinical trials found patients who received the active device lost on average 8.5% more excess weight than the control group after 12 months.

Weight loss surgery overview
This document discusses obesity and bariatric surgery as a treatment option. It notes that obesity is a global epidemic that causes numerous health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, and early death. Bariatric surgery is presented as an effective treatment when diet and exercise have not worked for those with a BMI over 32.5 and obesity-related diseases, or a BMI over 37.5 without diseases. The document outlines different surgery options and explains how they work to restrict eating and alter hunger hormones to promote significant weight loss of 60-80% of excess weight. It highlights the health benefits of surgery like curing diabetes in 80% of patients and reducing risks of death, high blood pressure, infertility and more.
Ayush docs may get to conduct abortions
The health ministry in India has proposed changes to allow Ayurvedic, homeopathic, and other Ayush doctors to conduct non-invasive abortions by prescribing medication. The revised bill would increase the period for legal abortions from the current 20 weeks to 24 weeks. While expanding access to abortions, some allopathic doctors argue this could put patients at risk if invasive or sex-selective procedures are conducted. The Indian Medical Association objects to allowing non-MBBS doctors to perform abortions.

When Medical Device Software Fails Due to Improper Verification & Validation ...Sterling Medical Devices
Verification and validation are critical components in the development life cycle of any software and the results of the V & V process are imperative to the safety of the medical device.Android for Healthcare - Droidcon London 2013
With the massive adoption and proliferation of Android devices across the globe, a diminishing number of medical professionals per capita, and a long term goal of providing Star Trek-esque medical aid, there’s a big opportunity for Android to play a role in revolutionising the healthcare industry.
As Australia is rolling out its fledgling eHealth system, countries around the world are either preparing to roll out their own systems or desperately trying to catch up to speed to accommodate increased demand – facing many political, resourcing, privacy, and security hurdles as they do so.
This talk aims to provide awareness of common issues, mitigations, and methodologies particular to the healthcare domain and Android and to inspire attendees to take advantage of the many opportunities present there.

This document outlines a 10-step plan for medical device software validation and verification presented by Ginsbourg.com. It discusses past issues with inadequate medical device software testing, like the Therac-25 radiotherapy accident that killed patients. The FDA regulates medical mobile apps and other software as medical devices based on risk. The plan involves performing risk analysis, documenting requirements and design, developing a test plan, and maintaining records of testing and releases.

This document provides an overview and summary of the contents of a presentation on effective medical device validation. The presentation covers regulatory requirements, standards, approaches to process and software validation, design control, lifecycle validation, documentation expectations, risk-based validation planning, and more. It also provides ordering details for the presentation, which costs $149 and can be purchased via the PresentationEze website. The licensed presentation is intended for use by the purchaser and within their single work facility only.
Unit 7 verification & validation
The document discusses verification and validation of simulation models. Verification ensures the conceptual model is accurately represented in the operational model, while validation confirms the model is an accurate representation of the real system. The key steps are: 1) observing the real system, 2) constructing a conceptual model, 3) implementing an operational model. Verification techniques include checking model logic, output reasonableness, and documentation. Validation compares model and system input-output transformations using historical data or Turing tests. The goal is to iteratively modify the model until its behavior sufficiently matches the real system.

Obesity has become a major public health crisis in the United States, affecting over 35% of adults. It is linked to increased risk of diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Treating obesity-related medical conditions costs over $190 billion per year. While weight loss drugs and other treatments have advanced, many patients still lack insurance coverage and access to care. Expanding Medicare coverage to include obesity drugs and preventive counseling could help patients better manage their condition and save billions of dollars in long-term healthcare costs.
Eating chocolate improves memory, brain function
Researchers found that regular chocolate consumption was associated with better performance on cognitive tests. A study of over 900 people aged 23-98 found that those who ate chocolate more frequently did better on tests of visual-spatial memory, organization, working memory, abstract reasoning and mental status. Regular chocolate consumption was linked to better cognitive function, except for working memory, even after accounting for cardiovascular and lifestyle factors.

Xenical is a medication used to aid weight loss and maintain weight loss when taken along with a reduced-calorie diet. It works by inhibiting the absorption of dietary fat in the stomach and intestines. Common side effects include oily or fatty stools but are generally mild. Studies show Xenical leads to 5-10% weight loss over one year when combined with lifestyle changes and helps improve obesity-related conditions like diabetes.
What community pharmacists_advise_patients_about_food_intake
Community pharmacists are well-positioned to provide patients with nutritional advice as they are often the first and most accessible healthcare professional encountered. While pharmacists should feel confident advising patients on nutrition basics based on scientific evidence, specific recommendations will vary depending on individual factors. When discussing nutrition, pharmacists can highlight foods' impacts on disease states, educate patients to reduce reliance on medications, and correct misinformation. Proper hydration and avoiding food-drug interactions are also important areas pharmacists can provide guidance on.
Free weight loss and diet tips for healthy eating and portion control of food
This is a public domain document from the state of Vermont with excellent points on portion control. 20 years ago, a typical bagel was 3” and 140 calories. Today, a typical bagel is 6” and 360 calories.
The larger bagel is an extra 200 calories. Eating 22 extra calories a day equals a weight gain of 23 pounds a year.
As we welcome the new year 2014, it is important to make a resolution to reduce portions as even cutting down by by a small amount a day can add up.
The other very important and often misunderstood aspect of the foods is the glycemic index of foods. For example, a typical bagel has a very high glycemic index of over 70 percent leading what is called "sugar rush" and "sugar crash". This phenomenon is so common that this is what drives the hunger in most people! This also leads to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, and diabetes.
How does glycemic index affect us?
Your body quickly digests the starches found in bagels, which causes your blood sugar levels to rise quickly and a few hours later, it leads to the crash. The higher the glycemic index of a food, the more it affects your blood sugar levels. Table sugar or sucrose has a glycemic index of 60, while the glycemic index of bagels averages 70 - a bagel is worse than even sugar. A breakfast rich in high-glycemic foods such as bagels can predispose you to weight gain, type 2 diabetes and heart problems.
In fact, Sumo wrestlers in Japan intentionally eat high glycemic diet for rapid weight gain, and there are reports that body builders in USA are intentionally using this principle of insulin resistance leading quick weight gain for their benefit by using insulin. According to the CDC, a third of all US adults are prediabetic or insulin resistant, and another third have some degree of it!
According to Dr. Prab R. Tumpati, MD, founder of W8MD medical weight loss centers of America, our obsession with low fatty foods as advocated by the failed food pyramid in fact contributed to our expanding waist lines by way of increased insulin resistance which in turn causes weight gain!
If you are overweight or obese, have excess belly fat, or have metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, or diabetes, and need help losing weight with health insurance, w8md medical weight loss centers of America can help!

Chikungunya goes viral in capital
An outbreak of chikungunya virus has spread like an epidemic in the capital city this year, with doctors seeing many young patients suffering from acute joint pain wheelchair bound. While only a few labs can test for the virus, it is estimated that 80% of patients presenting with viral fever and joint pain symptoms at some hospitals have tested positive for chikungunya. The outbreak has been attributed to increased mosquito breeding due to heavy monsoon rains. Treatment involves painkillers, though paracetamol often provides little relief from the debilitating joint pain associated with the illness.
Your plastic water bottle could be as dirty as your toilet
Researchers tested four types of reusable water bottles and found that bottles that were used for a week without washing had more bacteria than a toilet seat. Specifically, the slide-top bottle had more bacteria than an average toilet seat, pet bowl, or kitchen sink. Over 60% of the bacteria found on the bottles could make people sick. The cleanest bottle type tested was the straw-top bottle, and researchers also found that stainless steel bottles were healthier options than plastic bottles.

The cleanest bottle type tested was the straw-top bottle, and researchers also found that stainless steel bottles were healthier options than plastic bottles.

How pizza shops, steakhouses harm environment
Pizza shops and steakhouses that use charcoal or wood burners produce significant emissions and damage the environment in major cities like Sao Paulo, Brazil. A study found emissions from thousands of pizza shops and domestic waste burning contribute to Sao Paulo's air pollution problems despite its green vehicle policies. While vehicles use cleaner biofuels, emissions from over 800 pizza shops using wood burning stoves daily and over 1,000 pizzas produced for home delivery weekly on wood burning stoves negate some of the environmental benefits.

Gm mosquitoes to fight malaria
Bill Gates says that genetically modified mosquitoes may be used to fight malaria within the next five years. Researchers are using a gene editing technique called a "gene drive" to alter mosquitoes so they are resistant to diseases like malaria and dengue. Gates believes this technology could dramatically reduce malaria deaths by suppressing mosquito populations. However, some scientists have raised concerns that unintended mutations in released mosquitoes could have unknown consequences.
Shifting can be hazardous to health
A study from the University of Manchester found that frequent childhood moves, especially during early adolescence, are linked to higher risks of negative outcomes in adulthood such as suicide attempts, criminal violence, mental illness, substance abuse, and premature death. The researchers collected data on all people born in Denmark from 1971 to 1997, documenting every residential move from birth to age 14, and correlated subsequent adverse events in adulthood.
Heart disease, cholesterol not linked
An international team of scientists reviewed 19 previous studies involving 68,000 elderly people and found no link between high cholesterol levels and heart disease in those over 60 years old. The study suggests that 92% of elderly people with high cholesterol lived as long or longer than those with low cholesterol. The authors call for a reevaluation of statin prescriptions for the elderly, but their findings have been criticized by other academics who question the research methods. Some experts say that as people age, many other factors impact health, making the effects of high cholesterol less clear.
India faces diabetes explosion
India has seen a decline in childhood stunting but now faces rising issues with diabetes and being overweight. The number of diabetics in India is projected to increase to over 100 million in the next 15 years. While India has made progress against undernutrition, public health policies now need to also address the growing problems of overnutrition and diabetes. Non-communicable diseases like heart disease also place a large economic burden on Indian families.
1st `tampon disease' vaccine developed
Scientists have developed the world's first vaccine for Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS), a severe circulatory and organ failure caused by bacterial toxins from Staphylococcus bacteria. The vaccine was successfully tested in a Phase I trial. TSS, also known as "tampon disease", often affects young women using super absorbent tampons and was first described in the 1980s. This led to regulations on the absorbency of tampons.

Mercurius is named after the roman god mercurius, the god of trade and science. The planet mercurius is named after the same god. Mercurius is sometimes called hydrargyrum, means ‘watery silver’. Its shine and colour are very similar to silver, but mercury is a fluid at room temperatures. The name quick silver is a translation of hydrargyrum, where the word quick describes its tendency to scatter away in all directions.
The droplets have a tendency to conglomerate to one big mass, but on being shaken they fall apart into countless little droplets again. It is used to ignite explosives, like mercury fulminate, the explosive character is one of its general themes.

Us okays world’s 1st device to fight obesity
- 1. US okays world’s 1st device to fight obesity Implant For Those 18 & Above Curbs Appetite By Electrically Stimulating Stomach Nerves The Nurses and attendants staff we provide for your healthy recovery for bookings Contact Us:-
- 2. Contd.. A first-of-itskind implant to treat obesity that curbs appetite by electrically stimulating stomach nerves has been approved in the US. The Maestro Rechargeable System is approved to treat patients aged 18 and above who have not been able to lose weight with a weight loss programme, and who have a body mass index of 35 to 45 with at least one other obesity-linked condition, like type-2 diabetes. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the implant for certain obese adults, the first weight loss treatment device that targets the nerve pathway between the brain and the stomach that controls feelings of hunger and fullness. BMI, which measures body fat based on an individual's weight and height, is used to define obesity categories. The Nurses and attendants staff we provide for your healthy recovery for bookings Contact Us:-
- 3. Contd.. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one- third of all US adults are obese. “Medical devices can help physicians and patients develop comprehensive obesity treatment plans,“ said William Maisel, deputy director for science and chief scientist at FDA’s Centre for Devices and Radiological Health. The system consists of a rechargeable electrical pulse generator, wire leads and electrodes implanted surgically into the abdomen. It works by sending intermittent electrical pulses to the trunks in the abdominal vagus nerve, which is involved in regulating stomach emptying and signalling to the brain that the stomach feels empty or full. Although it is known that the electric stimulation blocks nerve activity between the brain and the stomach, the specific mechanisms for we ight loss due to use of the device are unknown. The Nurses and attendants staff we provide for your healthy recovery for bookings Contact Us:-
- 4. Contd.. External controllers allow the patient to charge the device and allow health care professionals to adjust its settings to provide optimal therapy with minimal side effects. The safety and effectiveness of the system were evaluated in a clinical trial that included 233 patients with a BMI of 35 or greater. The study found that after 12 months, the experimental group lost 8.5% more of its excess weight than another group which did not receive the active Maestro device, FDA said.
