Home blood pressure monitoring provides more accurate diagnosis and treatment monitoring compared to office-based readings alone. The author performed a home blood pressure monitoring sequence on himself using a validated device. He found that optimal technique is challenging and requires slowing down readings in the morning. Integration of monitoring into personal health records and health systems could improve patient care. More patient involvement and education in the monitoring process leads to better health outcomes.

Presentation at the Walking Summit: Then and Now, Washington, DC - Our Cities...Ted Eytan, MD, MS, MPH
This one was given to the 350+ participants at the 2013 Walking Summit in Washington, DC. I was asked to start the walking meeting of said participants, who were in a hotel basement where the meeting was held.
I used images that I've taken with my camera as well as images taken by photographer Michael Horsley in the 1980's and 1990's that show a devastated Washington, DC, without walkability, livability, without hope.
Michael's images are copyrighted; he very kindly allowed me to use some of them in my presentation, to be respectful though, in the slides below, I've replaced the photographs with a link to the photos on Flickr. They are worth a look - up to you.
The three and a half things I wanted the audience to experience with me were
Walking meetings (in my experience) exhibit a contagion phenomenon - easy to spread via social media, easy for people to grasp them once they do them
Walking meetings usually create learning beyond the topic of the meeting. Who knew, when I diverted people from the gas guzzling shuttle bus in 2011 (and did again during the summit) that we would learn about the impact, one year later, of the largest oil spill in history?
Our cities are changing (see the photos) - as much as we bemoan our state of physical activity, there are lot of people outside of the medical profession making a difference
Finally, we have to change our mental models.
From: A meeting happens when you go to a room and sit down
To: A meeting happens the second you start moving - there's nowhere to "go" just have to "be"
From: Designing meeting places in the basements or top floors of buildings
To: Designing meeting places at ground level with quick access to movement ( just like the Center for Total Health - @kptotalhealth )
Climate change-mediated effects on the environment in may worsen the burden allergies in the Washington, DC, area, with significant health and economic impact, and amplifying feedbacks in the form of pharmaceutical use.
Temperature change in our nation’s capital are changing the plant behavior in such a way to lengthen and increase pollen exposure for residents. Work is under way to understand the true impact of these changes in our cities, however, there is indirect evidence that changes in allergic disease are likely, and good evidence that increased allergic disease severity results in significant economic loss for communities.

Preventing Medication Errors: A $21 Billion OpportunityHealth Catalyst
With a potential industry-wide savings of almost $21 billion and an impact on more than seven million patient lives, preventing harmful medication error is a significant improvement opportunity for health systems. Also known as adverse drugs events (ADEs), harmful medication errors comprise about 37 percent of all medical harm. Approximately 50 percent of ADEs are preventable, making their reduction a highly impactable area of patient safety.
Current data and analytics workflow tools are making ADE surveillance, monitoring, and prevention increasingly more effective with four key capabilities:
Perspective surveillance for ADEs and identification of previously undescribed ADEs.
Identification of the root cause of many ADEs by drug class.
Prescription at appropriate doses for patients with compromised kidney or liver functions.
Identification of different types of harm to find causes.
We don’t have a functional competitive market in health care in the U.S. Consequently, many of the attributes of competitive markets that are beneficial in our lives are not present in health care. One significant negative externality of a dysfunctional market is an inability to discern quality. Consumerism is critical.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

This comprehensive endeavor encompasses various stages, including target identification, preclinical studies, clinical trials, regulatory approval, and post-market surveillance. It involves multidisciplinary collaboration among scientists, researchers, clinicians, regulatory experts, and pharmaceutical companies to bring innovative therapies to market and address unmet medical needs.
Walking in Patients' Shoes: My Home Blood Pressure Monitoring Experience
1. Walking in patients’
shoes: home blood
pressure monitoring
Ted Eytan, MD MS MPH
August 18, 2009
Conflict of Interest: I do not have any financial interest or ties to, and have
not received any honoraria from, pharmaceutical or device manufacturers.
There is no implied or explicit endorsement of any third party products or
services. see: http://www.tedeytan.com/about
3. Why Home Monitoring?
Evidence that it is probably as good if not better than
office based diagnosis
It is likely superior to ongoing monitoring and treatment,
especially in chronic conditions
42-50% of patients controlled under treatment may
have masked hypertension

4. What did I do?
Performed a home
blood pressure (HBP)
monitoring sequence
on myself
Used social media to
track my progress
(hashtag = #homebp)
and get feedback
5. The Device
Microlife HomeBP*
Innovative in
promoting accurate
monitoring
Adherent to ESH/
AHA guidelines
Perhaps a more
important innovation
than connectivity *Device was loaned to me and then
returned
6. The Innovation
Focus: accurate blood
pressure measurement
Coaches and guides
patients : right place,
right time, number of
times
Investment in patient
education, see http://
www.watchbp.com/
patients/correctbp/
8. What I Learned
Optimal technique is
challenging!
I needed to SLOW
DOWN in the morning
to allow for “resting”
blood pressure
Watch OTC meds (eg
pseudephedrine for
bad DC allergies!)
Dealing with Travel/time
zones
I CARE about the results
9. WatchBP Home Software
Averages readings
according to
guidelines
Includes omission of
the first day (per
guideline)
Physicians can exclude
specific readings from
the average
12. Is it patient centered?
YES, if patients are aware of the evidence
behind accurate measurement.
“At present,HBPM is frequently performed by patients on
their own initiative using devices purchased without medical
advice. This leads to frequent problems, such as the use of
in accurate devices and errors in measurement
methodology. The knowledge of patients about appropriate
cuff size is also minimal.” - ESH Guidelines for Blood
Pressure Monitoring at Home
13. The Future
“headless” biometric
device? (will we ever
see one?)
Integration with
personal health
record systems and
health systems in
general
Patient participation Source: http://www.diabeteshealth.com/
in understanding how read/2009/07/13/6274/diabetes-and-the-
iphone/
accurate HBPM works!
14. Conclusions
Accuracy takes work
More patient
involvement is better
in health care process
AND design of it
Innovation can happen
in process AND/OR
technology
Solve problems as close to
the patient as possible
More features at the
expense of accuracy does
not help patients
