How PCPs can use neuromodulation for migraine treatment

Haiti has the highest maternal mortality rate in the Western Hemisphere— and the second-highest rate of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) in the world. 🫀 But clinicians aren’t powerless. Through real-time, telehealth-based training with Yale cardiologists and Global MedEd Network, Haitian doctors are now diagnosing – and treating – life-threatening heart failure in new mothers. 🇭🇹🩺 When traditional medical missions can’t reach Haiti, World Telehealth Initiative does. 💡🌍 #Telehealth #Cardiomyopathy #Haiti #MaternalHealth #GlobalHealth #WomensHealth #HealthEquity

While much progress has been made in diagnosing developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs), UCB research presented at #IEC shows that a high unmet need remains for adults in remote residential care settings. Primary care physicians or general neurologists tend to focus on seizure and medication management and may overlook holistic issues, which can be a barrier to diagnostic referral. UCB’s Beatriz Rodriguez Solis outlines how broadening our understanding of DEEs to #MoreThanSeizures can provide holistic care. https://lnkd.in/gd4Pt6Et

We deeply appreciate UCB for bringing to light the significant unmet needs faced by countless adults in remote residential care with Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies. It truly highlights how a focus solely on seizure and medication management can often miss the crucial holistic issues that profoundly impact an individual's well-being. Recognizing that care needs to be #morethanseizures is essential for providing comprehensive support to everyone. For those dedicated to offering truly integrated care and enhancing quality of life for many people, we highly recommend our `Occupational Therapy` certification. This program equips professionals with vital skills to empower individuals to participate more fully in daily life, addressing adaptive strategies and overall well-being: https://lnkd.in/ecMg_x8T Furthermore, to specifically address the critical need for broadening our understanding of holistic care for complex neurological conditions in residential settings, we are developing a new course. This upcoming program, `Comprehensive Holistic Care for Neurological and Developmental Encephalopathies`, will provide advanced strategies for countless professionals to nurture overall quality of life, looking beyond immediate symptoms to truly support every individual.

UCB shining a light on the barriers and potential benefits associated with diagnosing DEEs in adults. Through interviews with caregivers, specialist nurses, and healthcare professionals in the UK, Germany, France, and Spain, the study mapped out the realities faced in various care environments and highlighted urgent areas for improvement.

Healthcare Priority: DVT awareness and early recognition significantly reduces mortality rates. Deep vein thrombosis causes more deaths annually than motor vehicle accidents, yet public awareness remains inadequate. DVT-related pulmonary embolism represents a preventable cause of sudden death in healthcare settings and beyond. Critical recognition factors: - Unilateral leg edema and pain - Localized warmth and erythema - Post-operative or immobilization risk factors - Travel-related thrombotic events Clinical challenge: Symptoms often mimic benign conditions, leading to diagnostic delays and potentially fatal outcomes. Intervention impact: Early anticoagulation therapy reduces mortality by 80% when initiated promptly. Healthcare providers and patients benefit from enhanced DVT education and rapid response protocols. At Vein Health Clinics, we prioritize circulation health education and emergency vein condition recognition. #dvt #vascularmedicine #patientcare #deepveinthrombosis #healthcaresafety #drobiwan
