SHM Advocates for Hospitalists and Their Patients
Advocacy, simply put, is the act of pleading or arguing in favor of something. It’s raising the concerns and voices of a group to efficiently influence decisions and affect change within political, economic, and social institutions. This is exactly what SHM has been doing on behalf of its members and their patients for decades.
Often the process and results of advocacy go unseen and seem to move at a snail’s pace. Regardless, SHM staff and volunteer clinician members of SHM’s public policy committee (PPC) constantly find effective ways to combat issues that negatively impact hospitalists’ ability to deliver high-...

Commentary: Stentless AVR in dialysis patients – another hand on the elephant
There is a parable from the Indian subcontinent that a group of blind men approach an elephant and each of them has a dramatically different appreciation depending on which part of the elephant they are touching (tusk, ear, tail, trunk etc.). In the present report the authors make a valiant effort to understand the performance of the Medtronic Freestyle heterograft (Medtronic, Minneapolis MN) in the setting of Hemodialysis (HD) patients at their center and found excellent durability.1 Anecdotally, at our center we have also found the Freestyle valve a durable option for root replacement; and a recent review of Medicare rec...

China ’s “Two Sessions”, and the Hiccups in Hong Kong
By Dr. Iftekhar Ahmed ChowdhurySINGAPORE, Jun 12 2020 (IPS-Partners) The eyes of much of the world were focused on Beijing during the last week of May. That was because China had scheduled for that time-perod what is generally collectively termed “Two Sessions” or Lianghui in Mandarin. These are back-to-back annual parliamentary meetings of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the National People’s Congress (NPC). The event usually take place in March, but this year had to be pushed back to May because of the COVID virus. Again, ordinarily, these last ten days, but this year, for the s...

Is the Fight for Human Rights & Racial Justice Overriding the Coronavirus Risk?
Black Lives Matter protest in London May 31. Credit: Tara Carey / Equality NowBy Thalif DeenUNITED NATIONS, Jun 2 2020 (IPS) The deadly coronavirus pandemic, which has claimed the lives of over 372,000 people worldwide, has reinforced the concept of “social distancing” which bars any gathering of over 10 or 20 people – whether at a social event, a wedding, a political rally or even a funeral.
In the US, guidelines laid down by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are loudly clear: “limit face-to-face contact, stay at least 6 feet (about 2 arms’ length) from other people. Do not gather in groups. ...

Effects of Sweet Cherry Polyphenols on Enhanced Osteoclastogenesis Associated With Childhood Obesity
Conclusions
Our study, to our knowledge, is the first demonstrating in obese children a spontaneous osteoclastogenesis inhibited by polyphenols from sweet cherry extracts, through the reduction of TNFα, without affecting cell viability. We also demonstrated that the spontaneous osteoclastogenesis observed in PBMCs from obese children is supported by the high percentage of circulating CD14+/CD16+ cells and the elevated levels of RANKL and TNFα. Our study opens future perspectives for the use of cherry extracts, appropriately formulated as nutraceuticals as preventive in healthy children and therapeu...

Diagnosis and Management of Trochleodynia, Trochleitis, and Trochlear Headache
Conclusion
Trochlear pain (trochleodynia) is becoming recognized as a set of disorders that can present in isolation or concomitantly with co-existing migraines, tension-type headaches, or other headache disorders, possibly explaining subpar symptom control in a small but significant number of individuals globally. Trochleodynia features unilateral periocular pain that may involve the ipsilateral hemicranium. Pain exacerbation occurs with trochlear palpation and supraduction of the affected eye especially in the adducted position. Trochleodynia may respond to oral NSAIDs if symptoms are mild and of recent onset. While ora...

Profiles of Every Terrorism Vetting Failure in the Last 30 Years
In my newpolicy analysis released today, I identify 65 vetting failures where the visa vetting system allowed a foreign-born person to enter the United States as an adult or older teenager when they had already radicalized —80 percent occurred before 9/11. Just 13 vetting failures have occurred since 9/11, and only one—the last one (Tashfeen Malik)—resulted in any deaths in the United States. That’s one vetting failure for every 29 million visa or status approvals, and one deadly failure for every 379 million visa or status approvals from 2002 to 2016.As I note, 9/11 is reasonable point of analysis because after th...

How racism affects this physician
I was fortunate enough to be able to go to my friend’s wedding in Indianapolis in October. My three-year-old son called it “India with Apples.” This is a friend that I’ve known since I was in first grade, and my parents and his parents are good friends. We were at the Friday night celebration and enjoying ourselves and decided to walk back to our hotel. We made it to the revolving door to the hotel when we met what I thought was a nice man who said hello. I also said hello. I was in the revolving door with my father. He then asked, “Are you a terrorist?”
My father wears a turban. He move...

EDs in Different Parts of the World but the Same Stories
BY TIM DEPP, MDI spent two weeks in India and another two weeks at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Minnesota during my global health elective month. It was a great time to reflect on sustainability in developing world medicine and on my medical education and career goals.Emergency medicine in India is still in its infancy. Some might say it's only just been conceived, still waiting to be born. India is growing incredibly in numerous sectors, and several universities, including George Washington University (GWU), have partnered with established hospitals there to grow the specialty. After completi...
