Association of Growth differentiation factor 15 with arterial stiffness and endothelial function in subpopulations of patients with coronary artery disease: a proof-of-concept study
CONCLUSION: This proof-of-concept study showed that higher circulating levels of GDF-15, an inflammatory biomarker, were associated significantly with increased arterial stiffness only in AMI patients, whereas elevated GDF-15 demonstrated a linear relationship with the severity of the myocardial injury.PMID:36336806 | DOI:10.2174/2772270817666221104120923

CBD Could Help Cops Get Relief From Stress, Insomnia, and Chronic Pain. But Using It Puts Their Job in Jeopardy
There were moments in the past few years when Police Sgt. Brian Vaughan would have tried almost anything to break the cycle of sleeplessness that wore him down—to wash away the images, sounds, and smells of violence that stuck to his memory, and ease the constant pain that was shooting through his back. At one point, he found himself tempted to try CBD, a widely available cannabis derivative that can offer relief from many ailments.
“It would have been great to be able to take it and see if it helps,” says Vaughan, a 14-year law enforcement veteran and training coordinator for the police department in Dal...

Spinal cord stimulation for treatment of complex regional pain syndrome: a single-centre retrospective case series study
CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: SCS is the best alternative for patients with CRPS. It should be used immediately after the failure of conservative treatment. Despite the relatively high complication rate in our series, it is the best choice for pain reduction management in this select group of patients.PMID:35722899 | DOI:10.5603/PJNNS.a2022.0038

Hit Hard By COVID-19, Black Americans Share Their Grief
At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, as hospitals facilitated goodbyes over iPads and funeral homes buried dead without services, families were left with a uniquely isolating grief, devoid of the rituals that traditionally surround death.
For Black Americans, who were 1.9 times more likely than white Americans to die of COVID-19 at the start of the pandemic, this stifled grief fits into a long history of unacknowledged pain. Dating back to slavery, when scientific journals claimed that Black people had higher pain tolerances, to now, as the maternal mortality rate for Black women is 2.9 times that of white women, Black A...

Simplifying Opioid Conversions
by Drew Rosielle (@drosielle)A Satirical Monologue in One Act:“Ok, 3rd year resident, let’s talk about rotating opioids. What do I mean by ‘rotating’ opioids? It’s just therapeutically switching one opioid with another. It’s um, like, a turnstile, I guess? Anyway--first let’s look at this equianalgesic table. Do you know what equianalgesia means? No? It is the concept that different opioids have the same analgesic power but at different milligram doses due to different potencies. That is, the idea that, say, 50 mg of oral morphine has the same analgesic power as 10 mg of hydromorphone. So 50 mg of oral morphi...

Opioid Equianalgesic Tables are Broken
by Drew Rosielle (@drosielle)I am proposing we do away with equianalgesic table (EAT) as a tool to inform clinical decisions about opioid rotations/conversions. Fundamentally, EATs create too many problems, and there are simpler and safer ways to teach clinicians how to convert between different opioids.Part 1: New Data Can ' t Fix the EATA couple HPM fellows every year ask me which table do I prefer to use —the old EAT or the new one? By the old one, they refer to the table most of us used or were at least deeply familiar with for the last 10-20 years. By the new one, they mean the one created by Dr. Mary Lynn McPherson...

The Truth About Common Digestive Health Fears
Everyone experiences digestive problems now and then, and they’re nobody’s idea of a good time. In a survey of nearly 72,000 adults in the U.S., 61% reported having had at least one gastrointestinal (GI) symptom over the previous week, and within that group, 58% said they’d had two or more GI symptoms over the past week, according to a study in a 2018 issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology. Because symptoms like constipation, heartburn, and abdominal pain are generally vague and often don’t have an obvious cause, those suffering tend to fear the worst.
“People get very concerned abo...

It ’ s time for a change
Much has been written about the challenges frontline health care workers have faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. Long hours, excessive death, and fear for one’s own safety and the welfare of family and colleagues have been a consistent theme over the past 22 months. Physicians and nurses started as heroes, but due to strained politics and social-media misuse, they’re now branded by a substantial swath of society as pariahs and purveyors of a medical hoax. The timing of this pandemic could not have been worse: According to the Medscape National Physician Burnout & Suicide Report 2021, 79% of physicians stated their...
