Make a difference by being a vaccine insister
When a patient is diagnosed with a chronic disease, like diabetes or hypertension, physicians don’t merely suggest medications to lower blood sugar or blood pressure – they insist that patients take medications to protect their health. However, the recommendation to get an annual influenza (flu) shot to prevent flu is often not as emphatic. Research has shown that patients are much more likely to get a flu shot when it is offered or recommended by a health care professional.
National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW), an annual event created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is a great time for h...

Influenza Vaccination Correlates with Modestly Lower Risk of Stroke
Following on from a recent study that suggested undergoing yearly vaccination for influenza can greatly reduce Alzheimer's risk, researchers here show that influenza vaccination correlates with a lower risk of stroke. The mechanisms of interest behind both of these correlations seem likely to revolve around chronic inflammation, an important factor in both the growth of atherosclerotic plaques in blood vessels and the onset and progression of neurodegenerative conditions. Firstly, suffering influenza is an inflammatory event, and the vaccine lowers the incidence and severity of that outcome. Secondly vaccination of this so...

Early Flu Season 2013
Over this weekend, in the national news, you're seeing stories of what they're calling an Early Flu Season for the 2012-13 year.

I had the flu 5 years ago, and I wrote about it in the post "Influenza Case Study: Me."It is not too late to get your flu shot, which experts are saying is a good match to the current flu virus strain that is out there. Check out this list of people who should get the flu vaccine from the CDC. In the video above, you'll see a TV interview I did last month. Back at that time, there was influenza cases in the southe...

ECMO – Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation)
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been in use for the past four decades to support persons who are unlikely to survive with mechanical ventilation. ECMO is used in both adult and pediatric practice, though in the initial years, use of ECMO was restricted to pediatric intensive care. The enthusiasm for use of ECMO in adults have been triggered by the beneficial effect noted during the last H1N1 influenza pandemic [Australia and New Zealand Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ANZ ECMO) Influenza Investigators.

Flu prevention tips
Flu can kill—arm your immune system against it!
I’m exposed to sick patients all day long. With this year’s flu epidemic, I’m exposed to even more sick patients than usual. Some of them ask me,
“Doc, aren’t you sick yet? Did you get flu this year? Did you get vaccinated?”
Yes, the flu season this year is bad. In Boston, at least 18 patients died recently and they declared a medical emergency. New York has also declared an emergency. But you don’t have to be one of the statistics.
I’m living proof that flu can be prevented
In my practice, one patient ended up in the hospital, and countless others are...

Hilarious Tamiflu side-effect
Okay, it’s not hilarious, it’s funny that it’s included as a side effect of Tamiflu (treatment for influenza):
I’m not a huge fan of Tamiflu (for the neuropsychiatric side effects), but I saw this last night on my pocket brain, and had to look today to see if it’s really listed.
It is, that’s off the Tamiflu full-download of the medication information (Link on the official Tamiflu page).
So you know, when patients are in studies, basically everything that happens while the subject is taking the medication has to be reported to the FDA, which is how all that oddness gets enshrined as les...
