Men with Eating Disorders: Deepening Our Understanding to Improve CaringPaul Gallant
This invited presentation was part of the 2020 6th Annual Interior Region Eating Disorder (Virtual) Forum, September 2020. The presentation addresses recent research, community and clinical experiences of men with eating disorders to deepen our understanding to improve caring. Stories, stats, questions, video clips and polls were included to seek input from those participating.
For example: Do males comprise 33-40% of those we are caring for? If NO, WHY NOT?
You may find use for some of these in future presentations or team discussions.
Tips to Improve Caring include:
*Team based interest/working groups to plan better for
males; include cross site/jurisdiction knowledge
exchange/peer support for clinicians/mentorship
*Include male former patients/MWED in planning/advising
*Include males in research AND disseminate this research to honor their contribution
rather than “the number of males were insufficient to report on”
*Include retrospective reviews on past males for quality improvement
*Review non-published findings on males in your own research
*Demonstrate that you’re informed/comfortable working with MWED
*Know the literature/resources & limits of both for males with eating disorders
*Use your creativity & planning to consider all-male therapeutic groups including online therapeutic or support groups?
*Schedule male appointments back to back/same time. Males see they are not the only male in treatment/care
*Seize the moment to engage the person who is seeking support (hope, optimism and repeat check-in)
A take away team or self-reflection exercise asks:

Before you design any nutrition education intervention, whether it is a few sessions or a larger program with several components, it is important to determine your intervention focus and identify your intended primary audience. When those have been determined, you will need detailed information on the behaviors and practices that contribute to the issue or problem you have selected as your intervention focus. Step 1 worksheets will help you conduct assessments to obtain the information you will need.
Think of yourself as a detective as you work through these worksheets. You are trying to find out as much as you can to determine which core behaviors or behavioral goals will be the targets for your educational sessions.
The information you collect may be quite extensive, depending on the scope and duration of your intervention, and will vary by category. Cite information sources (e.g., journal article, government report, observation, interview) used in the worksheet in a bibliography at the end of this step.
At the end of the Step 1 worksheets, you should have products for Steps 1A, 1B, and 1C as follows:
Step 1A: Health issues or needs (one or two) and primary intended audience for the nutrition education intervention. Examples are “overweight in teenagers” or “low rates of breastfeeding in a low-income audience.”
Step 1B: High-priority behaviors contributing to the selected issues. A set of one to a few nutrition-related behaviors or community practices that contribute to the health issue(s) that you identified.
Step 1C: Statement of the program’s behavioral or action goals. The behavioral or action goals describe the purpose or behavioral outcomes for the program in terms of behaviors or community practices.
Use these worksheets as guides to help you identify program behavioral goals. Cite information sources in the text and add references to the bibliography at the end of the step. Electronic versions of these worksheets are available
at http://nutrition.jbpub.com/education/2e. If you are unable to access the worksheets electronically, you can write onto this blank worksheet or create a text document that uses the same flow of information.

A correlation study to determine the effect of diabetes self management on di...Kurt Naugles M.D., M.P.H.
Self-Management in this presentation refers to those activities people undertake in an effort to promote health, prevent disease, limit illness, and restore well being. Several investigators contend that self-management be made a major component of many patient health-care strategy (Glasgow, et al., 2001; Wagner, et al., 2001). Currently, nearly 125 million Americans suffer from chronic debilitating illnesses (Anderson, 2000). These national figures clearly underscore the need to develop a multidimensional approach in regards to disease management. Accordingly, measures that incorporate the patient’s perspective in managing his or her health should be explored.
Diabetes mellitus is among those conditions suspected to be highly influenced by self-management activities (Sprangers, et. al., 2000). If benefits do indeed exist, they need to be fully evidenced. The investigation presented here sought to examine the role self management plays in the health outcomes of individuals living with diabetes.

Our aim is to alleviate human suffering related to diabetes and its complications among those least able to withstand the burden of the disease. From 2002 to March 2017, the World Diabetes Foundation provided USD 130 million in funding to 511 projects in 115 countries. For every dollar spent, the Foundation raises approximately 2 dollars in cash or as in-kind donations from other sources. The total value of the WDF project portfolio reached USD 377 million, excluding WDF’s own advocacy and strategic platforms.

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
VISION

These conditions necessitate the development and testing of new treatment methods, creating a robust demand for clinical trials. The increasing burden of these diseases highlights the need for innovative therapies and underscores the importance of India as a key player in global clinical research.
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.

• Strong focus on
preventive care.
18. Working Together to Manage Diabetes
• Offers an overview of team approach to care.
• Includes details for each PPOD specialty area on:
– Current data and trends
– Common diabetes-related complications
– Assessment techniques
– Key warning signs
– Patient education information
• Serves as a “cross-education” resource, not a comprehensive guide
to subspecialty care.
19. Working Together to Manage Diabetes:
Considerations
• Guide provides a “quick course” on each specialty and its relation
to diabetes.
• Each section is written for providers OUTSIDE of the specialty to read.
• Your own specialty section may seem “simplistic.”
• The goal of the PPOD Guide is to relay consistent messages across
the disciplines.
20. Key Message to Prevent Diabetes
Complications: Control the ABCs
• A1c: Blood glucose control
• B: Blood pressure control
• C: Cholesterol (Blood lipid) control
• S: Smoking (and use of other tobacco products) cessation
(and don’t start)
• Preventive care practices for eyes, kidneys, feet, teeth, and gums

22. Medication Therapy Management
and Diabetes
More than:
• 50% of patients with chronic
disorders do not take medication
properly.
• 60% of people with diabetes do
not have their blood glucose in
goal range.

23. Medication Therapy Management
and Diabetes Complications
Medication-related complications can include:
• Serious illness, long-term disability, death
• Inability to achieve desired results
• Inefficient use of money
24. Role of Pharmacists
Pharmacists are unique members of the health care team because:
• Patients often see their pharmacist seven times more often than
their doctor.
• Pharmacists are often available all day and into evenings and
weekends—with no appointment needed.
25. Role of Pharmacists (cont.)
• Monitor drug regimens.
• Work with patients to develop a plan to reduce risk of side effects
and drug interactions.
• Advise patients on how to take medications properly.
• Provide other information to help control diabetes.
• Communicate with health care team.

26. Key Questions to Ask Your Patients
About Medication Therapy Management
Patients should be referred to a pharmacist if the answers to these
questions are “no” or “unsure”:
• Do you have a list of all your medicines, vitamins, and supplements?
• Do you know the reason why you take each medicine?
• Have you reported any side effects from your medicines to
your pharmacist?
27. Example: PPOD in Action
• 40-year-old woman notices blurry vision and asks her pharmacist
about reading glasses.
• Pharmacist discovers that patient was diagnosed with diabetes last
year but did not return for follow-up appointment.
• Pharmacist advises that changes in vision may be a sign of
diabetes, not a need for reading glasses.
• Pharmacist arranges primary care visit and eye care visit for
follow-up.
• Pharmacist also refers her to the NDEP website at
www.cdc.gov/diabetes/ndep for more materials.
28. Foot Health and Diabetes
• More than 60% of nontraumatic lower-limb amputations occur in
people with diabetes.
• Patients with diabetes are 15–26 times more likely to have an
amputation than patients without diabetes.
• Up to 20% of diabetes patients who participate in routine foot care
will have a treatable foot care problem.

Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011. Available at http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/pubs/factsheet11.htm.
29. Foot Exams
Annual comprehensive exams:
• Help determine risk for developing
foot complications.
• Educate high-risk patients on how
to properly care for their feet.
• Prevent low-risk patients from
becoming high-risk.
30. Key Questions to Ask Your Patients
About Foot Health
Patients should be referred to a podiatrist if the answers to these
questions are “no” or “unsure”:
• Do you get a full foot exam by a podiatrist at least once a year?
• Do you know how diabetes can affect your feet?
• Do you know how to check your feet every day?
31. Example: PPOD in Action
• A 70-year-old man consults a podiatrist
because of corns on his feet, which he
says have caused him not to walk much.
• The podiatrist explains that regular
exercise has many benefits, including
diabetes prevention and management.
• The podiatrist shares the PPOD fact
sheet for patients, Diabetes and You:
Your Feet Matter!, and points out the
website and toll-free number for more
resources.
32. Eye Health
• 11% of U.S. adults with diabetes
have a form of visual impairment.
• Adults with visual function loss are
at least 90% more likely to have
depression than those without
visual function loss.

33. Eye Exams
Annual comprehensive vision evaluations with a dilated
retinal examination:
• Educate high-risk patients on how to care for and monitor their
eye health.
• Prevent low-risk patients from becoming high-risk.
34. Key Questions to Ask Your Patients
About Eye Health
Patients should be referred to an optometrist if the answers to
these questions are “no” or “unsure”:
• Do you get a full eye exam with dilated pupils at least once a year?
• Do you know how diabetes can affect your eyes?
• Do you know what to do if you have vision changes?
35. Example: PPOD in Action
• A 45-year-old African American woman brings her mother for her
annual comprehensive diabetes eye exam.
• The eye care provider asks if she has ever considered that she, too,
is at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
• The provider gives the woman NDEP’s Am I At Risk? brochure and
points out the NDEP website and toll-free number for more
information and resources.
• The provider suggests the woman make a follow-up appointment
with her own primary care provider.
36. Oral Health and Diabetes
• 85% of patients with type 2 diabetes report that they have received
no information on the association between diabetes and oral health.
• Periodontal disease has been associated with poor glycemic control.
• Tobacco use and poor nutrition are risk factors for compromised
oral health.

39. Example: PPOD in Action
• A dental patient is scheduled for a procedure,
but she doesn’t understand how to manage
the timing of her insulin injections.
