The truth of the matter is that neuromuscular principles, e.g. a comfortable bite, can help you deliver longer-lasting results and contribute to happier, healthier patients. After all, who wants to live with headaches, bruxism, and chronic tooth wear? The Academy of Comprehensive Esthetics understands that dentists are sometimes hesitant about all the neuromuscular bruhaha. At their upcoming conference “ACE Bite Camp,” they’ll dispel common myths about neuromuscular dentistry, explain the theories and principles, and most importantly, show how you can market TMD treatment to your patients in an easy-to-understand fashion. Conference goals include: Delivering a new set of clinical skills for ... dental blog for dentists about dentistry blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=5050931 Wed, 20 Jul 2011 15:55:56 +0100 5050931 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4968494&cid=t_103472_87_f&fid=39187&url=http%3A%2F%2Fgetbetterhealth.com%2Fwhen-is-it-appropriate-to-disregard-guidelines-in-medical-care%2F2011.06.24 Podcast: In an article appearing last week in the American Heart Journal, investigators concluded that if American doctors would prescribe for their patients with heart failure each of the six therapies which are most strongly recommended in current heart failure guidelines, 68,000 lives per year could be saved. The following (for the interest of the reader, and for the convenience of any attorneys who may follow DrRich’s offerings), is an ordered list of these six proven, life-saving heart failure therapies, along with the number of American lives that could be saved each year if only American doctors would stop grossly under-utilizing them in violation of published guidelines: aldosterone antagonist therapy – 21,407 lives beta blockers – 12,922 lives implantable defibrillators ...

With an all-voluntary armed forces, our country is at the mercy of individuals who, for little reason other than a desire to serve their country, willingly risk their lives and put their entire ordinary lives on hold (especially those in the National Guard and reservists). For you and I. We should do all that we can to ensure these folks come back to a country who welcomes them home, is thankful for their service, and provides them with all the necessary health and mental health care humanly possible.

A new study of nearly 7,000 older heart failure patients in a big insurance plan found the number of filled prescriptions for standard heart failure meds increased after Part D began in 2006, and the biggest increase was among seniors who previously lacked drug coverage. The results, which were reported in the American Heart Journal, are the first to show Part D may help more people with heart failure get meds that are recommended to lower the risk of hospitalization and extend lives. The findings, Reuters writes, suggest concerns that drugmakers would be the largest beneficiaries from the program may be unfounded. You may recall that a 2007 report by IMS Health found Part D boosted...

That meeting was great. Very positive. Since then, I’ve attended a the Chicago Midwinter Conference and the ACE Meeting in Tampa. I’ve seen a cross section of the US and have a perspective of national dentistry attitude. Things are looking up! The Chicago Midwinter is huge, whereas ACE attracts about 100 dentists. At both meetings, my initial impression from January held true. The dentists in Chicago were buying and looking, and it seemed that everyone had a positive outlook. Unlike a few years ago, dental meetings in 2010 are not full of complaining dentists, but dentists who are gearing up and setting great expectations going forward.

When health insurance companies and public policy makers launch significant initiatives. For example, the government of Ontario recently announced a $10 million investment with Baycrest Research Centre who will partner with MaRS Venture Group to develop and commercialise brain fitness technologies. The investment was matched by an additional $10 million from private sources. Another important development was the $18 million agreement between the Australian-based Brain Resource Company (ASX:BRC) and OptumHealth in the US. This will allow for the provision of web-based cognitive assessments as part of a clinician’s decision support systems. These are some initiatives covered in a webinar Top Ten Cognitive Fi...

USA Today reports that a Swiss biotech company called Cytos believes the answer is yes. The company is working on a vaccine to treat high blood pressure by tricking the body into attacking a key hormone as if it were a foreign invader. The vaccine homes in on angiotensin II, “a powerful hormone that acts like a blood pressure switch,” explains USAT. Cytos is working on a synthetic form of the protein that will spur the body’s antibodies to attack the real thing. When antibodies bind to angiotensin II, it can’t constrict blood vessels and raise blood pressure. Some hypertension medications, such as Merck’s Cozaar and Novartis’s Diovan already ...

Haven’t they heard of ACE inhibitors, or calcium channel inhibitors, or at the very least an old fashioned beta blocker? In fact, today’s hypertensives, especially those who also have the metabolic syndrome, are a walking pharmacopea-they take all of the above. Now, I am not arguing here that the other drug groups should not be used in the management of hypertension, especially the ones refractive to diuretics. But a study in the latest Archive of Inter...

He’s learned a lot about autism. He listens. The power of listening. It can move mountains.’”) Not being in a position to comment one way or another on that, I can say that mention of Carrey, star of Dumb and Dumber and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, reminds me of how much I prefer the perspective of comedy—of laughter, and the good feeling of laughing together—to that of tragedy.

To my surprise, I had an "aha" moment when I noticed that a different gene for hypertension (that I have) was startlingly close to the Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency gene on the distal long arm of chromosome 14.I've always wondered about this:* I have the M2Z genotype for Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency.* Both of my children have ZZ Alpha-1, a severely deficient genotype.* Plus the fact that I have a form of hypertension that responds to an ACE inhibitor.Did these facts contribute to the development of my severe preeclampsia???
