10 Outstanding Companies for Women ’s Health
The women’s health technology or so-called femtech
market has been on the rise for the last couple of years, but it has mainly
revolved around fertility and pregnancy. We believe that female health topics reach
far beyond such traditional issues and players should concentrate more on
menopause, endometriosis, or mental health, just to name a few areas. Thus, we
tried to collect companies which are on top of their game in the conventional
fertility and/or pregnancy area, but also start-ups and ventures who are
looking way beyond that. Here’s our guide to 10 outstanding companies in
women’s health.

Vulvar health: Navigating the nether regions
As an obstetrician/gynecologist, I spend my days examining women’s reproductive organs. My patients come to my office with a variety of concerns, some of which can be grouped under the heading of vulvar health.
However, many women do not feel comfortable discussing precisely what is bothering them. And rather than use the anatomically correct word — vulva — my patients often tell me, “I have a problem down there.” My job is to figure out what they mean, explain helpful points about vulvar and vaginal health, and empower them to understand their bodies.
A look at the anatomy
To begin, let’s clarify and name the ...

Everyone Has a Part to Play in Ending Vaccine Hesitancy
Felicia D. Goodrum Sterling
Heidi L. Pottinger
By FELICIA D. GOODRUM STERLING, PhD and HEIDI L. POTTINGER, DrPH, MPH, MA
The measles outbreak in Washington state this week has brought new attention to the anti-vaccine movement. In fact, the World Health Organization recently identified “vaccine hesitancy” as one of top threats to global health. In the US, the number of unvaccinated children has quadrupled since 2001, enabling the resurgence of infectious diseases long-since controlled. In fact, the WHO claims a staggering 1.5 million deaths could be prevented worldwide by improved vaccination rates.
Amidst the medi...

Preserving fertility during cancer treatments
Cancer treatment — and cancer itself — can threaten fertility. This is a tremendously important survivorship issue for many people. As an oncologist, I’m often asked questions about preserving fertility during cancer treatment. If this issue affects you, here is an overview of key options.
When should you talk to your cancer team about fertility?
Future children may not be foremost on your mind when you are diagnosed with cancer. Soon afterward, though, it’s worth talking to your doctor about fertility issues, if this is important to you now or might one day become important.
Your doctor can explain:
the risk that...

Last Month in Oncology with Dr. Bishal Gyawali: November 2018
By BISHAL GYAWALI MD
Keynote speech
There was a very sobering piece in NEJM by the FDA last month in which the authors try to explore what went wrong with the Keynote-183, Keynote-185 and checkmate 602 trials testing PD-1 inhibitors combinations with pomalidomide or lenalidomide and dexamethasone in multiple myeloma. Interim analysis of Keynote 183 and 185 revealed detrimental effects on overall survival (OS) with hazard ratios of 1.61 and 2.06, not explained by differences in toxicities alone. The checkmate 602 trial was also halted in light of these findings and also showed higher mortality in the nivolumab combina...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, November 26th 2018
This study is the culmination of a decade of research that has repeatedly demonstrated that this vaccine can effectively and safely target in animal models what we think may cause Alzheimer's disease. I believe we're getting close to testing this therapy in people."
Although earlier research established that antibodies significantly reduce amyloid buildup in the brain, researchers needed to find a safe way to introduce them into the body. A vaccine developed elsewhere showed promise in the early 2000s, but when tested in humans, it caused brain swelling in some patients. The new idea was to start with DNA coding for...

Grander Lessons from a Failure of Robotic Surgery
This week on my podcast, I deviated briefly from cardiology to discuss a shocking and sad study highlighting the vital nature of doing randomized controlled trials in the practice of medicine.
The reason I mentioned a trial comparing 2 types of hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) in women with early stage cervical cancer was not to opine on matters of cancer, but because the tragic story shows the harm doctors can do if we incorporate therapies without proper testing.
The New England Journal of Medicine published a trial in which women with early cervical cancer were randomized to two types of hysterectomy:
One was the...
